The entire sea of flames regained its previous tranquility .
The Scorching Flame Phoenix was stunned as its scarlet eyes stared at Mu Ru Yue’s ice-cold face . An excitement glow suddenly appeared within its eyes .
That’s right, it was indeed excitement .
Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly, obviously clueless . A childish yet gloomy voice was suddenly heard from her body when she was in doubt .
“Scorching Flame Phoenix, she is my Mother . When did you have the guts to be delusional in trying to hurt my Mother?!”
Swish!
A snow-white figure moved in a flash and landed beside Mu Ru Yue .
Ye Si Huang stood by her side with his silver hairs fluttering within the sea of flames . He was as beautiful as a little immortal child . His tender jade-carved cheek would give people an impulse to pinch it hard .
However, the little boy possessed a pair of scarlet eyes . He no longer looked as innocent and adorable as before . He looked coldly at the excited Scorching Flame Phoenix .
“Yo-you are my benefactor?”
The Scorching Flame Phoenix became stirred up, staring at the little boy before her .
‘This man must be my benefactor as he had silver hair and red eyes with an appearance that could be passed as an immortal or a devil . In addition to his nostalgic aura, I can’t be wrong .
‘But why has my benefactor become a kid? There’s a heaven and earth disparity from the previous benefactor that stood at the summit of the world, looking down upon the common populace…’
“Scorching Flame Phoenix, if you still remember that I had saved your life before, immediately form a contract with her!” Ye Si Huang pointed at Mu Ru Yue at his side and ordered coldly .
The Scorching Flame Phoenix hesitated for a moment as she replied, “But my Master ordered me to watch over the entrance of the purgatory . I can’t disobey my Master’s order . ”
“Your Master?” Ye Si Huang sniggered as he continued, “Your Master has already been gone ages ago . What is the point in you continuing to stay here? Not many people will be able to come here even if you aren’t watching over the entrance of the purgatory . There aren’t many people that are as abnormal as my Mother .
“Moreover, this isn’t the only entrance of the purgatory from the continent . Even if you blocked people from entering here, people could still enter the purgatory from other places . Hence, how about forming a contract with my Mother to repay me in saving your life previously? It should be much better than staying here doing such a useless thing . ”
‘Actually, it was just a coincidence in previously saving the Scorching Flame Phoenix . I had obtained an item that could be used to treat a sacred beast by luck . I was searching for a guinea pig to test it out . I then met with the Scorching Flame Phoenix at that moment . Naturally, she had become my guinea pig . I didn’t expect it to really work in the end .
‘It was also due to that incident that I made the Scorching Flame Phoenix owe me a large favour . ’
“I…” The Scorching Flame Phoenix was slightly hesitant . But when she thought that her Master had not appeared after waiting for him for several ten thousand years, he must have met with a mishap . Her heart sank subconsciously as she agreed, “Alright, I agree . I’ve already guarded this place for so many years for Master . It can be said that I had been responsible and diligent . I currently am already sick and tired of this place . I want to leave this place…”
‘I’ve been living in solitary for thousands of years, suffering every day and night at this place . I had already been sick of this current life long ago . It is perfect that Mu Ru Yue’s appearance can also bring me out of this dreadful place . ’
“But I’m guessing the two of you should be wanting to enter the purgatory . Since I don’t want to enter that place, I shall be waiting here for you . I will form the contract once she leaves the purgatory . ”
“I can agree to that request…”
Ye Si Huang turned her head to look at Mu Ru Yue . His original gloomy face instantly brimmed with a candid smile . The Scorching Flame Phoenix gawked at how rapid his expression had changed, tongue-tied .
