A man crouched inside the Alchemy Furnace.
Two people stood outside the Alchemy Furnace.
All three remained still.
-What now?
With a warm, soft beauty in his arms, the Heart Demon had no idea what to do next.
Shen Ye looked toward the Alchemy Furnace and caught a flash of cold, venomous eyes.
That Fuyun Mountain Elder!
He had seen the breathtakingly beautiful Mountain Master embracing Shen Ye's Heart Demon. Who knew how much hatred he felt now!
Damn it.
Shen Ye cursed inwardly.
Before the calamity arrived, he absolutely could not let the female Mountain Master immobilize the Heart Demon and seal him inside the Alchemy Furnace with this Fuyun Mountain Elder.
Wouldn't that mean certain death for the Heart Demon?
But-
He would die outside too.
According to historical records, every disciple below the twelfth level of the Dharma Realm had died.
-He couldn't fight either.
What should he do?
Shen Ye calmed himself and silently recited, "Peace, not conflict," before saying:
"Is that the Fuyun Mountain Elder in the Alchemy Furnace? I've already put what happened last time behind me. Please leave and let the matter rest."
The Heart Demon repeated his words.
The beautiful Mountain Master abruptly looked back and glanced into the Alchemy Furnace.
"You two-have a grievance?"
She sounded somewhat troubled.
Shen Ye hurriedly waved his hands, then wrote the character for "pale" on his face and said in a shaky voice:
"I'm sure the elder didn't mean it. He's simply so powerful that even something he does casually, without thinking, is more than newcomers like us can bear."
"-Please don't take it to heart, Mountain Master. I stopped blaming him long ago."
Much cleverer this time, the Heart Demon instantly turned pale and said aggrievedly:
"Please don't take it to heart, Mountain Master.
