No matter how badly An Wuzhi had cheated people for divine fire before, spending enough time with someone left a sense of their presence. Once they were gone, something felt missing.
Even so, Shi Chun had no intention of retreating. Precisely because An Wuzhi had already fallen for this, he could not give up easily.
He was not like Xu Anchang and the others, shrinking back at the first sign of danger or fear of exposure.
Until Summer Path Mountain and the Ice Jiao had settled their battle, he would not leave lightly. If Summer Path Mountain could kill the Ice Jiao, that would prove whether it had five divine fires inside it. If it really did, three of them belonged to him.
