Chapter 2128: The Sage Awakens on the Sacrificial Altar VS the Tomb-Raiding Woman (Part 23)
In the rarely frequented mountains, numerous dangers lurked in hiding.
Qing Yao released the aura belonging to the Ancient Mystic Fox from his body, causing the Monster Beasts with a certain level of intelligence to fear coming closer to seek death rashly.
Only those beasts that had yet to be enlightened could not perceive the impending threat from this person, innocently thinking it was a feast fallen from the heavens.
Of course, these beasts were eventually dealt with by Qing Yao, turning into a sumptuous meal for both him and Gu Shengyin.
During this time, Qing Yao prepared their daily sustenance.
Thinking about it, even he found it strange.
As the king of the Ancient Mystic Fox Clan, others always served him, so when had he ever cared for someone else so diligently?
If someone had once told Qing Yao that one day, he would wash his hands to prepare a meal for a woman, he would definitely throw a Fox Fire at them without hesitation to cleanse their thoughts.

Yet now, he did this so naturally that he himself didnโt feel anything amiss.
Gu Shengyin sat quietly to one side, watching as this man added some fresh mountain mushrooms into the meat soup to enhance the flavor.
To be honest, Qing Yao had made it very obvious.
Even Gu Shengyin could see that he had long been ensnared.
Otherwise, ask him to do this for another person and see if he would?
Yet this man himself thought his fascination was merely due to Gu Shengyinโs powerful abilities and beautiful looks.
Since he thought so, just let him be.
Gu Shengyin rarely felt a mischievous impulse, desiring to see when this man would discover his true feelings.
Both of them traveled swiftly, and another day passed, leading them into the Extreme Southern Land.
Upon exiting the mountains, Gu Shengyin felt a wave of heat rushing toward her.
It was said that the Extreme Southern Land was once the place where the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird rested, thus perpetually scorching with unceasing flows of magma.
The Vermilion Bird Fire Gu Shengyin sought was actually a small flame pond of this kind.
At first glance, the Flame Pool appeared similar to magma, but upon closer inspection, one could find that although the flames burned fiercely above, the water below remained clear and pure.
Fire burned amid water, achieving perfect harmony between the elements.
Across the Tianxuan Continent, only the Vermilion Bird Fire in the Extreme Southern Land could accomplish this.
Of course, ordinary people could not withstand the temperature of the Vermilion Bird Fire.
If a normal person or a Martial Artist with insufficient power came into contact with the Vermilion Bird Fire, they would likely be turned to ashes instantly.
Only someone like Gu Shengyin, a Demi-God Warrior, skilled and bold, would dare to use the Vermilion Bird Fire for purification.
She glanced at Qing Yao.
Qing Yao understood her intentions.
"Iโll wait for you nearby. If anything happens, remember to inform me," Qing Yao said with some concern, instructing her.
Gu Shengyin nodded.
Watching Qing Yaoโs silhouette disappear behind the rocks, ensuring there was no one else around, Gu Shengyin slightly moved her hands.
The clothes on her body instantly slid off.
She walked naked, slowly into the Vermilion Bird Fire Pond.
Scorching.
Even though her body strength as a Demi-God Warrior was nearly impervious to blades or flames and immune to ordinary water and fire, merely dipping her foot in elicited an overwhelmingly hot sensation.
And this was only the beginning.
She gritted her teeth, gradually submerging her entire body into the pool.
Her body trembled; it seemed the Vermilion Bird Fire meandering within the pool had found its target, anxiously surging toward her body.
