Chapter 155 The cat teases the Fire Thief, its words are so sharp.
Sai Fei'er's words showed absolutely no consideration for other people's feelings!
Just hearing her speak is enough to make one instantly furious and flushed.
But the Fire Thief wore a heavy mask, so his expression was completely hidden, and he didn't even respond to a single word.
Sai Fei'er saw that the Fire Thief Walker looked "easy to bully".
He couldn't help but escalate his behavior, hands on his hips, chin slightly raised, his tone sharp and sarcastic:
"Not going to talk? Or just too lazy to talk?"
"Or... are you really like a stupid dog, unable to understand human speech?"
These words seemed to finally pierce the Fire Thief's bottom line. His voice, hoarse as if rusty iron scraping against each other, uttered each word slowly and deliberately: "...The Throne of the World..."
"The spark..."
"It must be...taken back..."
Sai Fei'er's lips curled into a sly smile, and she chuckled:
"Hehe... You pathetic fellow, I've figured you out!"
"Let me guess—you've actually been eyeing those last two embers all along, haven't you?"
"It's a pity you have neither wings nor companions... So, even though Aegler's flame was placed in the sky, it went nowhere—"
"You can only wait for the Golden Blood to bring the fire back to Earth, and then seize it by brute force... right?"
The Fire Thief was speechless for a moment, and the air around him was frighteningly low.
Sai Fei'er laughed even more heartily, her eyes and brows filled with the smug satisfaction of a successful prank.
"Hahaha, I hit a nerve, didn't I!"
"Several times, I've watched you from afar, standing on the edge of a cliff, helplessly looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle... That sight was truly tragic!"
"To show some care for you, this lonely old dog, I've prepared a very special gift for you today..."
While launching a furious verbal attack, Saifeier walked forward unhurriedly, a feigned expression of pity on her face, and said to the Fire Thief:
"...That's right! The flame of Cephalus is within me."
"But I wanted to snatch it from the cat's hands..."
"...Just try to catch up with her!"
"Fun fact! Dolores' cats are not only fast runners..."
"His endurance is also exceptional!"
After saying that, Sai Feier turned around and transformed into a blur, rushing out in a flash.
When Saifeier passed through two ancient stone gates and arrived at another open area.
She suddenly turned around and saw that the Fire Thief was already standing not far away, coldly watching her—he had actually run ahead of her!
Sai Fei'er was very surprised.
But she remained calm. She had already thought of a way to deal with it.
So she feigned utter surprise, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke:
"Hey! How...how did you get ahead of me?!"
The Fire Thief raised the huge black sword in his hand, its blade gleaming with a chilling light, clearly intending to attack Sai Fei'er.
Sai Fei'er panicked immediately, waving her hands frantically to stop, pleading urgently for mercy:
"Stop! Stop, stop, stop! Don't cut me, please!"
While begging for mercy, she quickly pulled out a fire seed from her bosom and placed it directly between the two of them, deliberately distancing herself from the fire seed:
"You just want the spark of the Kefale, right? Here, take it!"
"That savior kid Bai E made me steal these. They're useless to me; they're too heavy to carry!"
"Considering, uh..."
Sai Feier squinted her round eyes and revealed a kind and endearing smile.
He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the Fire Thief's all-black attire, and quickly added:
"Since we both like wearing black... please spare the poor cat's life?"
Her fawning and ingratiating manner was truly amusing.
Many people guessed why she seemed so familiar.
It's likely that a thousand years ago, this is how Saifei tried to please Aglaia; she was incredibly adorable.
Anyone who sees such a soft, cuddly, and affectionate cat would probably be unable to resist putting down their weapon and not making things difficult for her, right?
But the fire-stealer only had eyes for the fire.
His gaze shifted from Sai Feier and fixed on the central flame, his killing intent waning slightly.
Seeing that the Fire Thief had completely focused his attention on the fire, Saifeier immediately revealed a sly smile of triumph and lowered her voice to say:
"Yes, yes, that's it! You can have the tinder; I'll leave my life behind..."
"Fire...seed..."
The Fire Thief repeated in a hoarse voice, reaching out his large, bony hand to take the "fire seed."
However, just as his fingers were about to touch the flame, the object suddenly exploded with a "bang," releasing a cloud of white smoke.
When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of fire left; it was just an ordinary pottery jar!
"...Hahaha! It really is an incredibly stupid stray dog!"
Sai Fei'er's cheerful and triumphant laughter drifted from afar.
The Fire Thief suddenly awoke to find that Sai Fei'er had already escaped to a distance the moment he was drawn to the "fire".
She stood with one hand on her hip, making a face at him, looking mischievous, and jokingly imitated a puppy's bark:
"Woof, woof!"
"Come on, the bone that was practically thrown at you has flown away. You're not going to give up so easily, are you?"
Despite her sarcastic remarks, Sai Fei'er's eyes suddenly turned serious.
'...That's what they say, but I actually got caught up? This is the first time...'
However, this serious expression only lasted for a moment before she immediately put on an extremely excited expression, with the corners of her mouth turned up high.
He shouted loudly to the Fire Thief behind him:
"I haven't run this hard in ages! You have to keep going for a little longer, at least let me warm up my muscles!"
"Creation..."
"must..."
The Fire Thief's voice came from behind, still hoarse and indistinct, yet carrying an undeniable obsession.
Sai Fei'er kept walking while listening to the sounds behind her, and couldn't help but mock again:
"You speak haltingly, but you run pretty fast, huh?"
"I'm going to speed up, don't lose them!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sai Fei'er's speed suddenly increased, and she rushed towards an upward elevator not far away like an arrow.
Without hesitation, he stepped onto it, muttering to himself:
"Ha...perfect timing to stop and rest."
But as soon as she stood still, she immediately frowned and muttered to herself with a worried look:
"That guy, could he already be waiting for me upstairs?"
After all, the Fire Thief's power is indeed formidable, and he also possesses the ability to traverse space like Tibbo, so we must be wary of him.
However, after Sai Feier took the elevator upstairs, she did not see the Fire Thief Walker.
He immediately showed a hint of disappointment and pouted:
"What? It's not here yet? How disappointing."
Suddenly, Sai Fei'er seemed to have thought of a good idea. Her eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes:
"In that case, then I will..."
