Evil God Fire Seed Part 2

"Are you… saying that my mission is to get inside that dragon's lair and retrieve the Fire Spirit Grass?" Yun Che whispered with his eyelid twitching in annoyance as he watched the battle between the 5 experts of the Burning Heaven Sect and the Scarlet Dragon.

The Burning Heaven Gate is one of the four strongest sects in the Blue Wind Empire, and is famous for its fire-type techniques.

These five experts were the ones who flew across the sky above the waterfall. Yun Che followed them out of curiosity, and since he was only at the Elementary Profound Realm, the practitioners didn't even pay attention to the dust. Yun Che, driven by curiosity, arrived at this place, and only then was surprised to notice that Huang Sheng had been by his side all this time. Yun Che was shocked and annoyed at the same time as he didn't even feel Huang Sheng's presence at his side.

Right now, Huang Sheng, Jasmine, and Yun Che were on the high slope, watching from above the battle between the humans and the dragon.

"Huang Sheng, Yun Che is only at the Elementary Profound Realm!" There was no way he could get past Heavenly Realm practitioners. Moreover, among these people there is a practitioner who is half a step away from the Imperial Stage! Jasmine exclaimed, obviously against Huang Sheng's idea. Yun Che, who heard about the strength of these people, was surprised. "And also this dragon is unusual. He is a True Dragon and his power is already at the Emperor Profound!

"Imperial… level!?" Yun Che was shocked. He had only just started out as a cultivator, but he had already met the peak practitioners of the Blue Wind Empire!

Huang Sheng himself already knew that the Scarlet Dragon had made a successful breakthrough, and thanks to the battle between them a year ago, his foundation is much stronger than it would have been if he had broken through to the Emperor Profound Realm through meditation.

Huang Sheng smiled mysteriously and looked down at Yun Che. He, in turn, shuddered and it seemed to him that all-seeing eyes were looking at him, from which it was impossible to hide anything.

"If I'm not mistaken, then you have the Star Grass of Concealment.

"…I won't ask how you knew it, but even if there is, I won't be able to use its properties until I make the pill…" Yun Che was surprised by Huang Sheng's awareness.

- Hm! Don't take me for an idiot. I know that you have the Sky Poison Pearl, and it was I who left Jasmine behind the Xiao Clan Mountains. If not for me, you would still be an ordinary cripple. Huang Sheng snorted and lightly hit Yun Che on the forehead with the edge of his hand, as if he were chastising the younger.

"..." Yun Che was shocked by Huang Sheng's knowledge, but he was more annoyed by this attitude.

Jasmine just rolled her eyes at their exchange.

———————————————

As soon as Yun Che left to complete the task, Jasmine was clasped in an embrace and successfully placed on Huang Sheng's lap. She did not resist, as she herself liked such closeness, but she will never admit it ...

As Yun Che slowly but surely walked towards the cave under the effect of the Concealing Star Grass, Jasmine suddenly asked.

"Huang Sheng, you're much older than you look, aren't you?"

Having asked this question so unexpectedly and in such a situation, Jasmine hoped to see at least some reaction from Huang Sheng, but she was disappointed.

Huang Sheng looked like he hadn't heard the question being asked.

- Why do you ask? Huang Sheng looked calm and unemotional as he stroked Jasmine's long hair. He hoped that this would not become his habit, because next to her he felt the warmth of the family, which he had long forgotten, and only his great-grandson Yuichiro could give him this feeling ...

- It's simple. Jasmine chuckled as if only an idiot wouldn't have guessed. "First, your way of addressing me… you treat me like a child!" Jasmine gritted her teeth, clearly unhappy with this attitude. "Secondly, when you call this princess's disciple 'Brother Yun', you look like you're not used to it. This can be related to the fact that you have never called anyone "brother" before, so you are embarrassed... but it only took this princess a month to understand you and you would not be embarrassed so easily. Also, such a reaction is possible if you had a brother in the past, but you said yourself that you are an only child and calling Yun Che, "Brother Yun", should not be difficult for you…

Huang Sheng was surprised. He really was surprised. Jasmine clearly understood and made his characteristic psychological portrait, and as she herself said, it took her only a month! But Huang Sheng quickly took it for granted, remembering that Jasmine is a Star God with the inherited knowledge of a true god.

"...and thirdly..." Jasmine moved on to the last item after a couple of minutes. "There are times when you unknowingly treat this princess' student like a child… like a while ago. In my eyes, you looked like an older one chastising a younger one. she chuckled, clearly content to see the surprise on Huang Sheng's face and his patting on her head.

"I confess... I'm surprised, Jasmine. Your powers of observation are just something. "Huang Sheng was not someone who did not recognize or praise the sheer ability of people, especially people close to him.

Jasmine grinned an arrogant smile.

- Well, how is it?

Let me keep this a secret. Huang Sheng smirked playfully, watching Jasmine's eyes irritated by his answer.

—————————————————

As Jasmine and Huang Sheng were talking, Yun Che's back was covered in cold sweat. At first, everything went well, and under the effect of the Star Grass of Concealment, he almost reached the dragon cave, since the battle between the Burning Heaven Gate Sect practitioners and the Scarlet Dragon was far in the sky.

The Scarlet Dragon was clearly defending its lair and led the people attacking it away from the entrance to the cave.

As soon as Yun Che was thirty meters away from the entrance to the cave, burning coals, created by the techniques of the dragon and one of the practitioners of the Burning Heaven Gate Sect, rained down on him from above.

Four of them looked to be in their fifties, with red flames embroidered on their robes. As for the person in the middle, his beard was completely white, with a face like that of an old man, but every part of his body emitted a wave of terrifying aura that made Yun Che gasp for breath.

Once the ember, which was as hot as magma, landed on his clothes, the effect of the Concealment Star Grass completely disappeared. Yun Che was extremely lucky to have a huge boulder next to him, behind which he managed to hide.

Because of the fluttering Profound Power of the dragon and the five people, Yun Che was not palpable, as his Profound Power was no match for the Heavenly Realm Profound Power.

"Haaa… haa…. Damn Huang Sheng…" Yun Che cursed, but the fire of determination in his eyes did not fade. Even despite the desperate situation, he continued to think about a possible way out of this situation.

If he runs towards the cave, both the dragon and the people from the Flaming Gates of Paradise will immediately notice him.

While Yun Che was thinking about what to do, a huge rock landed in front of him, which, hitting the scorched earth, caused a burst of lava. This surge was enough for him to act at the same moment.

Yun Che ran out from behind the boulder he was hiding behind and ran towards the entrance to the cave, shielded from the dragon's eyes by a splash of magma.

"I…haa…did it." As soon as Yun Che was in the cave, he immediately ran deeper, and to be sure, he took cover behind the rocks.
