Little Flame Ji (Part Two)

After finishing gnawing on her shell, Little Flame Ji happily ran and jumped around the Snow Woman.

Its mother, the woman who transformed into the Flame Witch after being rescued by the Old Flame Ji, quietly watched the Little Flame Ji. Her eyes were filled with reluctance, but it was already the last Flame Ji in this world... This human had managed to keep the Ice Sky Snow Woman alive, so naturally he wouldn't mistreat the Flame Ji either.

"Ring~~"

The Flame Witch and the Snow Woman were exchanging some kind of messages again...

The Snow Woman, accompanied by her Little Flame Ji, arrived beside Tang Miao.

Honestly, Tang Miao was quite dumbfounded that Flame Ji was stuck with Snow Woman, whose element was her own, from the moment she was born.

Doesn't she know how to resist this Ice Element?

"Waaaaah~"

While Little Flame Ji kept clinging to Snow Woman, Snow Woman was completely rejecting her. Her haughty expression made it seem like she simply didn't like this "brat"!

After arriving, Snow Woman instructed Tang Miao to subdue Flame Ji.

Tang Miao did not refuse and began to draw Star Map of the Summoning Element.

After completing the Summoning Element contract diagram, Tang Miao imprinted the contract mark on the sleeping Little Flame Ji.

"Eek~"

Little Flame Ji seemed somewhat resistant to this; she pouted and looked at Snow Woman with Xiao Ke expression.

Another typical "Ying Ying Monster"!

"Waaaaah..."

The Snow Woman seemed to be telling her that this was also her "father!"

If you want to play with your older sister, you have to fulfill the contract; otherwise, she won't play with you.

Instantly, that slight resistance vanished...

After the contract was completed, Little Flame Ji circled around Tang Miao a few times, then climbed onto Tang Miao's shoulder. Perhaps she was tired? She lay down and fell asleep, looking as lazy and adorable as if she didn't want to be woken up until it was mealtime.

After forming a contract with Little Flame Ji, Tang Miao discovered that his second contract was still empty.

In other words, his eldest daughter didn't lie to him!

Who would have thought that they came to find Flame Ji with Mo Fan, but ended up in their own hands?

That's really nice.

Moreover, the conversation between the Snow Woman and the woman in front of him just now made him think of something. That is, this woman seemed to be the mother of the girl who came with them!

Of course, to confirm, Tang Miao also asked Snow Woman to inquire.

Sure enough, when the Snow Woman mentioned that there was a girl named Chen Ying in their group, the Flame Witch became quite agitated...

"Ring~"

After another exchange, the Snow Woman's report, and some of his own fragmented memories, Tang Miao finally understood the whole story.

Tang Miao thought to himself, "It seems I wasn't mistaken after all!"

After thinking for a moment, Tang Miao looked at Ling Ling and said, "Ling Ling, this Flame Witch, although she is an old Flame Ji, is actually also a human."

At this moment, Ling Ling was looking at the Little Flame Ji on Tang Miao's shoulder and the little Snow Woman beside him, and felt a pang of envy...

You should know that winning the favor of the Element Pet is the dream of countless summoners!

However, throughout history, thousands of years have passed, and to gain the favor of even one Element Pet is already a remarkable achievement. Let alone two?

Tang Miao's luck is truly extraordinary!

Just as she was feeling envious, she heard Tang Miao calling out to her.

Upon hearing this, Ling Ling paused.

He then asked in disbelief, "A person? How is that possible!?"

No matter how Ling Ling looked at it, she couldn't believe that the person in front of her was a single person...

Tang Miao then recounted to Ling Ling what the Snow Woman had just told him.

After learning the whole story, Ling Ling rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while before saying, "So you mean to say that Chen Ying's current 'mother' is actually the person her real mother saved back then?"

Tang Miao nodded, then added, "If I'm not mistaken, Chen Ying's arrival here was all planned, and her fake mother should have come along too!"

Ling Ling clenched her little fists tightly, feeling extremely angry after learning the whole story.

Because all of this has proven that Chen Ying's fake mother is a truly depraved, ungrateful, and vicious scoundrel!

Ling Ling thought of what had happened before and sighed, "But we don't even know if they're alive or dead. What are we waiting for here?"

"Chen Ying's fake mother survived here before, so she naturally knows a thing or two about this place where she can stay alive. So, don't worry! She'll be fine until Chen Ying helps her obtain the Fire Tribulation Fruit."

Considering all the previous introductions of Chen Ying, it's clear that she was instilled with these ideas from a young age.

For the first time ever, Tang Miao felt an urge to kill someone immediately...

To let the daughter of the person who saved her harm her? That's utterly despicable...

"Ring~"

Just as the two were talking, the Flame Witch suddenly spoke up.

Tang Miao looked at the Snow Woman, Snow Woman pouted and began to translate with "Eeeeeeeee".

It has to be said, after having a daughter, you'll never have to worry about not having a helper when you're out and about!

From the Snow Woman's translation, Tang Miao learned that there was a group of humans in the Fire Cloud Forest who seemed to have been attacked by Demon Beast... And because she had just awakened the Flame Ji, her strength was somewhat weak, which was why she made a sound to signal Tang Miao to rescue them.

Of course, the main reason is that the Flame Witch can sense that Tang Miao's magical power is very strong! In addition, with the Snow Woman by his side, rescuing people is not difficult.

Tang Miao had no interest in meddling in other people's business, but considering it might be Mo Fan and his group, he felt he should help them. After all, they got the information about Flame Ji first. Although he knew about Flame Ji, he hadn't paid any attention to it since the Snow Woman appeared and Tang Yue hadn't awakened her Fire Element.

Who would have thought that what was originally intended as training his underlings would end up with him gaining an extra Flame Ji?

Therefore, if it really is them below, they should be rescued.

"Ling Ling, be a good girl and wait for me here."

After instructing Ling Ling, Tang Miao placed Little Flame Ji back into the Contract Space to rest. He then merged with the Snow Woman and flew towards the Fire Cloud Forest below.

A short while later, Tang Miao arrived above the Fire Cloud Forest.

However, due to the dense trees, he could only search below. So he dispelled the fusion and stepped into the forest.

Because the leaves of the Fire Cloud Tree here thrive in the scorching sunlight, and they absorb heat from the air, turning it into nutrients for the entire tree, the heat they emit is naturally intense...

The Snow Woman disliked this place, but fortunately, Tang Miao was surrounded by a thin layer of ice, which made it an Element Pet more comfortable for both of them.

However... after coming down, Tang Miao discovered that the ground was covered in red leaves, making it impossible to tell which way was which!
