Tang Yue trembled with shame, trying hard to suppress it.
However, Chao He provocatively said, "Sending a woman as beautiful as a flower to investigate me? Perhaps someone saw me sleeping alone outside and was too lonely, so they sent you to relieve my loneliness. I wonder what kind of positions you like?"
"Fierce Fist – Crimson Flame – Nine Palaces!"
Tang Yue could no longer endure this humiliation. Suddenly, her graceful body erupted in Crimson Flames. Her right hand rose high and slammed heavily onto the ground.
The flames burst forth with immense power!
The already dry earth now looked as if it had been trampled by thousands of beasts, covered in cracks.
Deep fissures in the ground exploded, and flames surged out madly, erupting into the Sky !
Fire waves churned, like hundreds of Vermillion Birds wantonly unleashing flames upon this small patch of land!
In just an instant, Chao He was engulfed in the sea of fire.
Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then Jiang Yuan's voice came from behind her.
"Ninefold Ice Spear!"
She turned to look. Jiang Yuan had emerged from his hiding place at some point. Nine ribbons of ice crystals swirled in front of him, merging into a single ice spear radiating cold.
Even though it was forged from ice, one could feel a strong sense of murderous intent emanating from it.
"Put your magic away. This wanted criminal has… has been burned to ashes by my Fierce Fist," Tang Yue said, panting.
Jiang Yuan shook his head. "He has killed so many people and has been at large, which proves it's not that simple. He very likely has defensive magic equipment on him. We can't let our guard down."
On Tang Yue, he couldn't sense the meticulous and vigilant thinking of a Judgment Association member.
Perhaps Tang Yue was not suited to be a Judgment Association member.
Her emotional side outweighed her rational side, and her thoughts were sometimes too naive.
In the eyes of many, this was utter foolishness.
For a Judgment Association member, this was not a good thing.
Her intentions were good, but many of the things she did made people think she was hopelessly foolish.
At this moment, the rampant flames of Fierce Fist subsided.
Sure enough, beneath the flames was a rock barrier, like a turtle shell.
As the layers of rock peeled away, Chao He's furious voice emerged from within: "You actually destroyed my Rock Army Magic Armor! I will definitely torment you until you go mad and throw you on the street for everyone to defile!"
Before his words could even finish, the Ninefold Ice Spear had already arrived less than a meter in front of him.
At such a close distance, how could a Mid-level Mage like him possibly defend?
With a "Pfft," the ice spear pierced his shoulder.
"You…" Chao He looked at the suddenly appearing Jiang Yuan in disbelief, blood spilling from his mouth.
Jiang Yuan gently raised his hand, and four more ice crystal long spears appeared, directly piercing Chao He's four limbs.
The immense force pinned him firmly to the ground. At the same time, the power of ice permeated his body.
On the surface, Chao He appeared to have fainted, but in reality, his life had already been devoured by the ice.
Jiang Yuan did not want to expose his appearance of regarding life as mere grass in his overclocked state.
Once the intention to kill arose, there could be no room for hesitation; the opponent must be dealt with as quickly as possible, and a few extra blows should not be forgotten.
"Now it's finally safe," Jiang Yuan said indifferently.
Tang Yue looked into his eyes.
There was no emotion in Jiang Yuan's eyes, just like a bottomless abyss.
However, in a trance, Jiang Yuan's eyes returned to normal.
Tang Yue thought it was because her current state was off, causing her to missee, so she bit her lower lip and said, "Thanks to your intervention, otherwise something very likely would have happened just now. This time, I, your teacher, owe you."
It was a perfectly normal conversation, but her tone was full of temptation.
Tang Yue's legs were already too weak to stand, and she leaned against a nearby rock.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan wanted to go over and help her.
"You… don't come over!" Tang Yue exclaimed, the enchanting scene under the tree shadow flashing back into her mind.
Jiang Yuan stopped, and Water System Star Path appeared, water converging around Tang Yue.
As the temperature gradually dropped, Tang Yue felt a little better.
But this was a temporary solution; once her body adapted to this temperature, the heat would continue to rise.
Unless the ice invaded her body, but that would be a matter of life and death.
Tang Yue took a deep breath: "I… I need to rest a bit. You go retrieve the Fire Seed first. You still remember how to retrieve a Seed, right?"
Hmm…
Jiang Yuan nodded, knowing Tang Yue's current situation.
Although if he actively approached, Tang Yue would most likely throw herself into his arms and kiss him.
But he did not want to take advantage of her vulnerability.
He then went to the center of the small reservoir, used a Surging Wave to blast a hole in the bottom, and instantly, the underground fire transformed into a pillar of blazing flames, soaring into the Sky .
The crimson underground fire—Crimson Flame!
Seeds have spirituality, and Soul Seeds have soulfulness.
To retrieve them, one must gain their recognition.
Whether it's character, power, or compatibility, there is always something that an elemental Seed will favor.
For example, for the Soul Seed Tyrant Barren Thunder, you have to let it know your power, firmly subdue it; the harsher you are, the more docile it becomes.
Crimson Flame is different; it belongs to the type of docile little wife that can be obtained with a flick of a finger, and it will dedicate itself wholeheartedly.
Just like now, Jiang Yuan merely waved his hand at Crimson Flame, and it retracted its Sky -high pillar of flames, transforming into a crimson ball of fire that landed in his palm.
Feeling that Jiang Yuan was not a Fire Mage, Crimson Flame trembled.
It was as if it was saying, "You bad man, you're not suitable at all, yet you want to possess me."
Jiang Yuan looked at the Crimson Flame in his hand.
He needed to ask Tang Yue for a container for the Fire Seed.
Thinking this, he turned to find Tang Yue.
"Teacher, this Fire Seed needs a container."
"Alright, you come back to the town with me first. I will notify the Judgment Association to handle things here," Tang Yue said, her tone seemingly calm, but a deep urge was hidden in her autumn-water-like eyes.
An urge to devour someone.
"Okay," Jiang Yuan said, returning to the side of the small reservoir.
Tang Yue was puzzled about what he was going to do.
But then, a Star Map formed by Star Paths appeared beside Jiang Yuan.
"Surging Wave – Torrent!"
The water in the small reservoir rose rapidly at a visible speed.
On the way back in the car, the two sat at opposite ends of the back seat.
Neither spoke a word.
Even though Tang Yue's body was tightly wrapped in clothes, one could still see her constantly trembling.
She really couldn't control herself anymore; she just wanted to get back to the inn quickly and completely unleash the desire within her body.
On the other side.
Jiang Yuan had temporarily wrapped Crimson Flame in ice crystals, which could last until they reached town.
His face was a bit pale now; in order to help the small reservoir accelerate water storage, more than half of his entire Water System Star River's magic energy was depleted.
Thankfully, the stream was flowing again.
Those crops shouldn't wither and die now, right?
"Sigh, business has been so hard lately. No one is coming to town for tourism. It's all because of this dry weather," the driver muttered to himself.
"It will get better in a while," Jiang Yuan suddenly said.
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror.
He smiled and said, "You two have extraordinary temperaments. With my many years of driving experience, you two must be Mages, right? Is the Magic Association going to perform magic rain in a while?"
"We are Mages," Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, then continued, "The cause of the drought here has been found, and there will be no more drought in a while."
"Oh, that's great, that's great!"
The driver beamed with joy.
