Women Are Made of Fire (Chapter 8, Part 2)

  Upon seeing the red shadow, Gu Li and Gu Guai let out a sigh of relief, stood up straight with their hands clasped together, and respectfully said: "Miss." The surrounding monsters retreated and knelt down to welcome her. I also temporarily stopped my attack, and brazenly sized her up.

  This is a very seductive woman, with bright red long hair tied up into a high bun, barefoot, her skin tone exuding the luster of rubies, a sleeveless crimson robe under the sunlight, so dense and vibrant as if it were a blazing flame, making her skin seem to burn as well.

  "Useless thing, can't even take care of yourself." The woman's gaze swept around, and Gu Li and Gu Guai hastily lowered their heads, too afraid to even breathe. The woman's fingers lightly flicked, and a dozen sparks shot out from her fingertips, shooting towards the kneeling monsters. As soon as the sparks touched the monsters' bodies, they ignited, and amidst the wails of agony, the monsters were consumed by the raging flames, leaving not even a single bone fragment behind.

  "What's the waste doing here?" The woman said in a soft voice, her tone was beautiful and moving, making people's bones feel numb.

  "You're Little Red!" I exclaimed in surprise: "It's you after all!"

  Peanut Fruit looked at me with a bewildered expression, then glanced at Little Red and shook her head: "Little Red? Is that the dancing Little Red girl? How can it be? You must have mistaken her for someone else, big brother?"

  Xiao Hong said faintly, "Lin Gongzi has good eyesight. Several times we met, I never showed you my true face, it was really unavoidable. This time is my true appearance, and my name is not Xiao Hong either. Mo Zhulang, the second son under the Demon Lord's seat, has seen Lin Gongzi." She paused for a moment, her eyes revealing a complex expression, and said in a low voice: "My birth name is Chi Yan Huo."

  I took a cold breath, although I had always suspected Xiaohong's identity, but I didn't expect her to be Mozu's subordinate. I immediately woke up, tonight I appeared in Dacheng City not long ago, Chi Lian Huo got the news and sent someone to kidnap Hua Shengpi's family, leading me to Tongzi Cliff. Thinking deeper, Yin Wuxie suddenly appeared, taking away Hai Ji was also cleverly arranged. My heart shook, I shouted loudly: "Unexpectedly, Mozhe Tian actually colluded with Luoshen Tian's Shadow Flow in secret!"

  The red practice fire flashed a thread of chilling light, and then smiled, like water flowers overflowing, hiding the sharp edges of the river bottom stones: "Young master is really good at making wild guesses, always talking about some irrelevant things."

  The more I think about it, the colder my heart becomes. Apart from Yin Wu Xie, Hu Yan Zhong and Zhu San Jie, how many powerful forces and sects in the entire Northern Territory have been manipulated by Mo Yue Tian? Chi Yan Huo has been hiding in shame in Da Qian City, quietly active, and must also be a pawn arranged by Mo Yue Tian. I suddenly feel a bit regretful, fighting against Mo Yue Tian is simply like trying to stop a chariot with bare arms, it seems that I need to consider a retreat.

  Chi Yan gazed at me for a moment and sighed, "Alas, why didn't you listen to my advice, young master? Why didn't you leave this place of trouble earlier?"

  I was skeptical in my heart, could it be that this demoness really had good intentions towards me? I shouted: "What a profound and ingenious, clever and deceitful female demon! You'd make a great actress. Tonight you deliberately lured me here, is it to rob the map of the Heavenly Freedom?"

  "Never seen anyone as ungrateful as you! My young lady's kindness is met with your ingratitude, treating her like a donkey's liver and lungs!"

  Chi Yan raised his hand, and Gu Li shut up. He continued: "Today, the Demon Lord will personally arrive at Dacheng City to subdue the three major sects and their reinforcements. If you really want to join this muddy water, I'm afraid you'll die without a place to bury your body."

  I couldn't tell whether she was being kind or hypocritical, so I impatiently said: "Don't try to deceive me with your clever words, put down the peanut shells first."

  Chi Yan Huo smiled faintly: "As long as the young master listens, stays here and waits quietly until dusk, I will return the person to you, and will not stop it." This demoness's smile was enchanting, seemingly emanating from her very bones. Her slender body trembled, every strand of hair, every inch of skin seeming to have a seductive flame dancing upon it.

  I snorted disdainfully: "To put it bluntly, you're afraid I'll defeat Yun Dalang and lose face for the Demon Slayers' Heaven, so you're stopping me from going to Dacheng City."

  Chi Yan let out a soft sigh: "I know that the young master's magical powers are strong, but Cloud Great Lang's demonic arts far surpass your imagination. Moreover, there is also the magic master with boundless magical powers. Since you have the map of the Self-Existing Heaven, why not go and find the legendary Eternal Self-Existing Heaven? Wouldn't that be better than fighting fiercely in the bloody rain and storm?"

  "What if I don't want to?"

  "What was said just now, was what Little Red said to you back then." Chi Yan Mo was silent for a moment, his smile still on his face, but his eyes had already turned cold as ice: "Now Chi Er Lang is telling you, stay behind, otherwise... die!" Ten bright red fingers spread open, sparkling fire sparks splashed out silently, along the fingertips, burning into clusters of jumping flames.

  The strange and quiet poked the ancient one, who couldn't help but shout: "Foolish kid, my family's young lady's magical power is not inferior to Cloud Big Brother's, why must you be a egg hitting a rock, asking for trouble? Everyone chatting happily until nightfall, patting each other on the back and leaving isn't very good?"

  I hesitated for a moment, then shook my head. It wasn't because I had promised He Ping, but because I was used to being free and easy-going, and didn't like being controlled like a puppet on strings. Besides, waiting here until evening would only make Hai Ji worry more. She had been deceived by Yin Wu Xie, and I was anxious to confirm her safety.

  "Enough of this nonsense, whoever's fist is harder will be the one to listen to!" After some deliberation, I finally made up my mind and launched into a charming dance, floating and leaping to the left side of Chi Yan Huo. My left palm pulsed with the Knife of Life, my right palm transformed into the Longevity Technique of the Tathagata, and I spat out the True Fire of Samadhi from my mouth. A circle of Xuanyuan Qi burst forth from within me, and my legs kicked out in a linked motion, transforming halfway through into two flashing swords.

  "The young master's spells are too diverse, to practice them purely will take at least a hundred years." With a calm and collected expression, the Fire God said slowly. He clapped his palms lightly, and flames burst forth with a "whoosh" sound. Two arms suddenly appeared on his shoulders, and an additional head emerged from the left side of his neck. "Pap pap", the Fire God continuously slapped his palms three times, each slap giving birth to another pair of arms, finally transforming into a three-headed six-armed form.

  A spark shot out from the tip of her finger, rapidly spreading throughout her body, fierce flames surged, and dazzling light filled the air, she completely transformed into a three-headed six-armed fire person! The six arms of the fire person danced wildly, rendering my series of attacks useless.
