Chapter 60: Stone Forest in Flames

In truth, he really could not understand how a child could be so cruel and completely toss her life away without a care in a desperate situation like this?
Especially when he heard her soft voice murmuring, “Hell actually isn’t as scary as you imagine it. It’s simply a bit void, desolate, silent… that’s all,” he did not know what he felt. Just how much courage and willpower did someone need to be able to truly achieve being nonchalant about life and death?
She was still so young, so just what had happened to make her so indifferent to life and death?
As for Qiao Mu… “After you take care of them, how will you end this?” In reality, she was well aware that the situation today was a hopeless situation with nearly no chance for survival.
Her probability of winning was very minute. A single misstep and she would die without a burial place.
Of course, she did not plan to self-detonate. She merely did this to stall for however much time she could. She was not afraid of dying, but she was merely unwilling.
She naturally did not relive her life just to seek death.
She wanted to live! She wanted to live life to the best she could! However, in that type of situation, even if she obediently handed the Heart of Paradise over, would these people blinded by greed really spare her?
She did not hold anything back and took a gamble, perhaps she would even gain an opportunity to live.
But at this moment…
Hearing this punk lightly saying “A life is not easy, you should cherish it well” right next to her ears, her heart could not help but tremble.
Although she knew this punk was simply worried for her, after being hit twice at a spot that should not be hit, the child’s ‘old pride’ could not reconcile with it.
The child harrumphed and forcefully kicked him a few times. Looking down, she saw the seven or eight black footprints that stamped onto Crown Prince Lian’s originally perfectly untarnished, fine quality white robes.
“Release,” the child stated with a stoic face.
Mo Lian shook his head and tightened his hold on her. He gently clapped her back twice and said, “That won’t do. It’s still dangerous. I will put you down after we take care of these people, alright?”
Although this guy, Crown Prince Lian, inquired as to whether it was alright, his posture did not turn lax at all, clearly not intending to put her down. That “alright” was nothing but a formality.
The child: “So infuriating…”
She had spoken so much to that Something Saber from the Ghost Sect. Thinking back on it now, she seemed to have exhausted her life’s worth of energy completely. Hence, she truly had no desire to speak at all and decided to simply glare at Crown Prince Lian before sealing her mouth shut.
“Didn’t I tell you to come find me at any time if you run into any problems later on? You must remember to call on me from now on! For example, a dangerous situation like this, isn’t it perfect for calling on me! Don’t worry, I can take care of these annoying nuisances in a flash.”
Our dear Qiao Mu really wanted to ridicule, “Do you think you are a mystic beast? You can start fighting the second you are summoned? Anyway, everyone knows that only mystic cultivators higher than level 10 have the chance to make a contract with a mystic beast, alright? With her cultivation as a tiny level three mystic cultivator, it was better for her to see reality for what it is, the sooner the better!”
Seeing the child’s unspeaking but puffed up appearance, Mo Lian slightly smiled. “You don’t believe me? Look.”
His slender finger pointed up, and Qiao Mu’s eyes involuntarily followed its track. Her originally narrowed almond eyes suddenly turned round.
Fire? Bright red scalding flames. Every flame was the size of a fist and descended from the sky like blossoms being scattered by fairies, shooting toward the flabbergasted Ghost Saber and Yao Ji and their group.
Qiao Mu subconsciously reached up to clutch her head, but she quickly discovered that those flames dropping from the sky did not reach her head at all. It directly circumvented Crown Prince Lian and her, chasing toward the other people and ferociously swallowing them.
It did not take long for half of the stone forest to be engulfed in a sea of flames.
