After settling all the arrangements for the entire Immortal Herb garden, Xiao Yi raised his eyes to Myriad Demon King and gave him his final, detailed instructions. "Take good care of this wisp of Child Flame. Usually, you only need to nourish it a little with your Soul Power and make sure the Core Flame never goes out. It will protect this medicinal garden on its own, maintaining the vitality and spiritual energy of the entire area."
With everything taken care of, Xiao Yi prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
He was going back to take the blue-haired cutie and the cool, aloof Senior Sister Ling to the Extreme North to catch scorpions.
But just as he lifted his foot to set off, Di Tian suddenly stepped forward and familiarly slung an arm around his shoulders, a warm, enthusiastic smile on his face.
"There's no need to leave in such a hurry. You've worked hard all day, and the Star Dou Great Forest has never properly hosted you. Why not stay the night, rest up, and set out tomorrow? There's plenty of time."
With that, Di Tian led Xiao Yi toward Lake of Life, leaving no room for objection.
Seeing the two of them about to leave, the golden cat glanced at the medicinal garden and decided that Xiao Yi mattered more. It resolutely gave up the garden's temptation and hurried after them, its fluffy tail swaying behind it.
Di Tian's sudden enthusiasm left Xiao Yi a little dazed, and his heart was full of confusion. But then he thought it over: his schedule wasn't particularly tight, and staying one more night to rest would do no harm. So he nodded and accepted.
Di Tian had come with a mission. Sending Scarlet King to search for Soul Bones
