Heading Toward the Scorching Plains

Tang Yue looked at the Little Flame Ji in her arms, thought for a moment, and said, "How about we go out for a walk?"

"Huh? Where to?"

Tang Miao paused. To be honest, he really had no intention of going out for a stroll. Wasn't it better to stay home and enjoy the carefree time together?

Tang Yue hugged Flame Ji, nuzzled her chubby little face, and said with overflowing maternal instinct, "Let's go to Dunhuang and see Little Flame Ji's guardian. If it weren't for her protection, this Xiao Ke wouldn't exist."

Tang Miao thought for a moment, then said, "That works, but I'm not sure if she's still there."

"Didn't you say last time that Little Flame Ji's mother had gotten used to that place? If she's not there, where will she go?"

The great mother who protected Flame Ji, although she didn't die because of Tang Miao's intervention, was ultimately no longer human. Moreover, having lived in Scorching Plains for so long, it makes sense. Where else could she have gone if she wasn't there?

"Alright, let's go then." Tang Miao glanced at Flame Ji and nodded.

Seeing that Tang Miao had agreed, Tang Yue smiled and said to Flame Ji in her arms, "Shall we go see the place where you were born?"

"Eek?"

Little Flame Ji looked at Tang Yue with some confusion, clearly not understanding what this meant. After all, she had always believed that she was born from Tang Miao...

After glancing at Tang Yue with a puzzled look, Little Flame Ji turned to look at Tang Miao.

Tang Miao, who shared a deep connection with her, was utterly bewildered by this...

He really couldn't explain this. After all, Flame Ji and Snow Woman were different. When he found Snow Woman, she had already left childhood.

The Snow Woman in her arms, upon hearing that they were going to that hot place again, looked uninterested and said, "I'm not going..." She preferred a natural place to the Scorching Plains.

Seeing that the Snow Woman was displeased, Tang Miao rubbed her little head and said, "How about I take you back to Tianshan sometime in the future?"

Anyway, he's going to take the Little White Tiger out to hang out later, so it's not impossible for him to take the Snow Woman to pay respects to the old Snow Woman.

"Eek~"

Hearing what Tang Miao said, Snow Woman was very happy and, unusually, took the initiative to rub her cheek against Tang Miao's. You see, this proud young lady usually dislikes such behavior.

"You're really realistic, aren't you?" Tang Miao retorted, looking at the Snow Woman clinging to his shoulder.

The Snow Woman didn't care, and she didn't even care about her unscrupulous father stuffing the Contract Space back into her hands last night. Clearly, the little girl had wanted to go to Tianshan for a long time.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

Hearing that the two were leaving, the Dark Serpent on their shoulder immediately expressed that it also wanted to go. Of course, the Great Serpent meant that it wanted to go to the Scorching Plains with them.

The Great Serpent was practically dying of pity, spending all its time in this sealed place. It flicked its tongue, trying to rub against Tang Miao just like the Snow Woman. However, before it could get close, Tang Miao pushed it away in disgust.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

They'd slept together for so many years, and suddenly he was being disliked? The Great Serpent felt incredibly wronged.

Tang Yue looked at the pitiful Dark Serpent and explained, "Big guy, we're going to the Scorching Plains. Taking you along might very well start a war."

Ultimately, it was Monarch Level being. Although the Dark Serpent was very powerful, the Demon Beast clans residing there were not to be trifled with. If an unnecessary war were to break out, it wouldn't be easy for them to escape with their large numbers.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

Although the Great Serpent also wanted to go, since Tang Yue had already said so, it could only pitifully leave Tang Miao's shoulder and head back towards the sealed lake.

Seeing the Great Serpent in this state, Tang Yue felt a pang of pity...

At this moment, Tang Miao looked at the Dark Serpent and said, "Alright, stop pretending, I'll bring you something delicious when I get back."

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

The Dark Serpent, which had just looked dejected, suddenly perked up and turned to look at them. Tang Yue was about to speak, but before she could utter a word, she froze on the spot...

After all, wasn't he just looking quite dejected? How come he's suddenly all fine? Tang Miao smiled; he knew snakes inside and out.

The two set off on a whim, feeding the snakes and then booking their plane tickets...

Once they reached deeper into the boundary line, although the area was fraught with danger, nothing could stop Tang Miao and Tang Yue given their combined strength.

On aboard a General Level Armored Rhinoceros, Tang Yue looked around and said, "Be careful, something seems off around here."

As a member of the Judgment Society, Tang Yue had naturally participated in many battles and was well aware of the dangers that came with it.

Just then, a howling wind carrying swirling sand surged between the two sand dunes.

Tang Miao didn't care at all. After all, they were both Advanced Mage, and the Demon Beast that came here was just a General Level. It was a Sand Roar Tiger. Its wide eyes, radiating a green light, could be seen from afar. Even the hazy yellow sand that was swirling up couldn't hide its ferocious light!

"He's a general..."

Just then, Tang Miao made his move, pointing his finger high into the sky and unleashing a bolt of lightning that struck Sand Roar Tiger, who had just appeared, directly onto the ground.

Although Tang Yue knew that Tang Miao's strength had greatly increased, she truly hadn't expected that Tang Miao could annihilate General Level Demon Beast with a single Intermediate Magic? Moreover, this was One Thought Star Chart?

Seeing Tang Yue's surprised expression, Tang Miao said nonchalantly, "It's just a Demon Beast at the General Level, nothing to worry about."

Actually, Tang Miao was able to defeat Sand Roar Tiger in one strike not because of his powerful magic, but also because during his training at the National Academy, he learned a lot about Demon Beast from Jiang Yu Tang Miao. He heard about the weaknesses of Tang Miao and Demon Beast, including the knowledge about Sand Roar Tiger.

Seeing Tang Miao's sudden loss of self-awareness, Tang Yue laughed and scolded, "I just praised you, and you still don't know your own name? Tell me, how did you do that?"

This Sand Roar Tiger is extremely powerful even among Demon Beast at the General Level! Tang Yue was genuinely curious. Then, Tang Miao recounted what Jiang Yu had told him to Tang Yue.

"That's great, you've learned to study now." Tang Yue chuckled, something that was clearly quite rare.

Along the way, besides Sand Roar Tiger, they encountered two more Demon Beast, but they were easily dealt with. There were no other dangers either. The two rode the giant rhinoceros and gradually arrived at the area where the Sand Forget River was located.

Upon arriving at this long-dried-up sandy river region, Tang Miao summoned a Winged Demon Eagle from his dimensional space, also at the General Level. After reaching a high-level Summoning Element, Tang Miao didn't obtain a large number of tiger cubs, since tigers aren't social Demon Beast.
