“Uh!” After Leng Ruoxue heard Little Red Snake’s words, her gaze turned towards the depressed Little Fire Ginseng.
“Not long ago, someone broke into the cave and was injured by the poisonous fog. I gave him a ginseng root and he promised us that he wouldn’t reveal our whereabouts. However, I didn’t expect…” The little fire ginseng explained, but its voice became softer and softer.
“Idiot! How can you believe the words of a human?!” Little Flame roared angrily, its face full of disappointment.
“There are good humans too. Elder Sister is one!” Little Fire Ginseng explained softly.
“Of course there are good people among humans, but the problem is, Little Fire Ginseng, your temptation towards humans is too great, so…” Leng Ruoxue stopped halfway, she believed Little Fire Ginseng would understand.
“Sister, I know my own value. I don’t dare to be nosy anymore. Hehe, can we live here in the future?” Little Fire Ginseng asked expectantly.
“Of course. From now on, this will be your home.” Leng Ruoxue looked at the sensible little fire ginseng and said with heartache.
“Thank you, Sister,” the Little Fire Ginseng said happily.
“Woman, I can also live here?” Little Red Snake could not help but confirm.
“Yes.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. Since this little red snake was the Little Fire Ginseng’s Companion Beast, it definitely wouldn’t be willing to part with it.
“Thank you, woman. Those Flame Crystals outside are good stuff. Don’t forget to take them,” reminded Little Red Snake.
“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded.
“Hehe, little snake, I was wondering why there weren’t any Flame Crystals in such a huge volcano. So it was you guys who collected them. Oh right, do you have the Flame Crystal Core?” At this moment, Feng Zhan who was on Leng Ruoxue’s shoulder asked.
“Yes, there’s one. It’s buried under those Fire Crystals!” Little Red Snake nodded and said.
“Hehe! This is really great.” Feng Zhan said happily. Master’s luck was really good. She actually found another Fire Crystal Core.
“Qing Jue, bring the two little ones around. I’m going out first,” Leng Ruoxue instructed. After speaking, she brought the freak out of the bracelet.
After the two of them left the bracelet, they stored all the Flame Crystals in the pool into the bracelet. They then walked back the way they came. At this time, the teams outside the cave had already started to eat dinner. Feng Da and the others had also finished preparing dinner and were waiting for Leng Ruoxue and the freak.
Leng Ruoxue and the freak returned to the tent and removed their invisibility. Empty’s voice suddenly sounded behind them, “Where did you guys go?”
“We went to look for the fire ginseng.” Leng Ruoxue smiled.
“You two baddies, you went to look for the fire ginseng but didn’t call me along!” Empty said with a bitter face.
“Hehe, isn’t it inconvenient? There are so many people outside. If the three of us enter the same tent and don’t leave for a long time, there might be rumors spreading.” Leng Ruoxue helplessly said.
“What’s there to be afraid of? If anyone dares to say anything, just kill them!” Empty said indifferently. Hmph! He didn’t care about those people outside at all.
“Ugh!” Cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxue’s forehead, he was getting more and more violent.
“Xue’er, have you found the Fire Ginseng?” Empty continued to ask.
“En.” Leng Ruoxue nodded happily.
“Where is it? Let me take a look. I heard from the people outside that the fire ginseng seems to have developed intelligence.” Empty said with a face full of excitement and swept away his previous resentment.
“Empty! It’s not like you haven’t seen a sprite before. Is there a need to be so excited?” The freak said helplessly.
“Uh! I’ve never seen a Fire Ginseng before!” Empty said matter-of-factly.
“Oh, here you go!” Leng Ruoxue smiled wickedly as she moved the little Fire Ginseng out of the bracelet and into Empty’s arms.
“Xue’er, what’s this? What I want to see is a fire ginseng. Why did you give me a child!?” Empty said in shock. Boohoo… He did not know how to carry a child! Empty did not know how to let go looking at the innocent child in his arms.
“You guys look like father and son,” the freak teased when he saw Empty panicking.
“Which family is this child from? Don’t tell me you guys gave birth to him? Isn’t this speed a little too fast?” Empty didn’t want to be outdone and retorted hearing the freak’s teasing. Hmph! He couldn’t watch him make a fool of himself, but the little child in her arms was too soft and tender! He didn’t even dare to use too much strength!
“Unfortunately, we didn’t give birth to him,” the freak said with a face full of pity.
“Could it be that you kidnapped him?” Empty guessed. Oh! It was very possible!
“Sister is a good person, I left with her willingly,” Little Fire Ginseng couldn’t help defending Leng Ruoxue.
“Oh!” Empty looked at Leng Ruoxue with a strange expression, feeling even more admiration for her.
“He’s that fire ginseng,” Leng Ruoxue explained. Sigh! She didn’t want Empty to think too much.
“Ah! Doesn’t that mean you are at least ten thousand years?” Empty said in surprise.
“En.” The small Fire Ginseng nodded. Actually, it was more than ten thousand years old!
“Haha! Xue’er, your luck is so good that there’s nothing to say about it!” Empty said enviously. Sigh! He really did not know what to say.
“En, let’s go out first!” Leng Ruoxue reminded. Everyone was waiting outside!
“Okay.” Wu Jiu returned the baby to Leng Ruoxue and said.
Leng Ruoxue placed the little fire ginseng back into her bracelet and the three of them walked out of the tent.
“Miss, it’s time to eat.” Feng Da quickly shouted after seeing Leng Ruoxue and the other two.
“En.” Leng Ruoxue and the other two walked to the dining table and sat down. However, they felt many strange gazes on them.
“Hey, I’ll pay you guys. Sell your food to me!” Leng Ruoxue had just picked up a piece of roasted meat that was golden and fragrant. She heard an unruly and overbearing voice before she could put it into her mouth.
“I’m sorry, our food isn’t for sale.” Leng Ruoxue lightly raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the young woman standing in front of them with an arrogant expression.
“Dammit! Do you know who I am? I’m willing to buy your food because I think highly of you, so don’t fail to appreciate my kindness!” The woman was livid with rage, and she roared at the top of her lungs.
