Withered Flame Tree (1)

"Alright, stop throwing a tantrum," Mo Ziyan frowned and said stiffly. "I admit that I was wrong earlier. From now on, stay by my side and don't go anywhere."

Liu Shiqi's pupils shrank, and she looked at him in disbelief.

He… he was actually being soft toward this woman?

And what shocked Liu Shiqi, even more, was that Qiu Nuo didn't care for his kindness and even replied impatiently, "You're so annoying! I already said that I'll act alone. Our deal has ended."

Mo Ziyan gazed at her without uttering a word. His expression was gloomy and frightening.

Eventually, he smiled and replied unhurriedly.

"Fine, you can leave!"

Qiu Nuo pursed her lips tightly, somehow feeling a little disappointed. But she eventually turned around and left nonetheless.

She had to strengthen herself and not remain under someone else's wings forever. She would never let herself have the experience of being abandoned again.

As he watched Qiu Nuo walk off into the distance, Mo Ziyan suddenly called out, "Yin Yun, Yin Feng."

As soon as he opened his mouth, two suave men dressed in black appeared behind him.

"Master!"

"Follow her. Don't let anything happen to her."

Liu Shiqi's expression soured upon witnessing that.

She had never expected Mo Ziyan to send his most powerful secret guards to protect that woman without her knowledge.

When had the arrogant Mo Ziyan ever done such a thing for anyone else?

…

Qiu Nuo hadn't made much progress, and, after making a huge round, she returned to the other side of the Flame Tree.

"Qiu Nuo, be careful of that woman. She has hostile feelings toward you." She heard Xue Ling's voice.

"I understand." Qiu Nuo pursed her lips. She hadn't even said much to Mo Ziyan before the woman cut in with a tense expression. That was enough to show how much she cared about him.

"Don't let your guard down. She's a fifth-level water attribute Summoner. If she really wants to deal with you, you will have a hard time in the future," Xue Ling said seriously.

"Are you serious? Is she really that good?" Qiu Nuo was shocked.

That woman looked no more than fifteen or sixteen, but she was already a fifth-level Soul Master?

There were probably not many people in the entire Luojia Empire who could compare to her.

Besides, she was a Summoner!

No wonder someone with such high standards as the Fifth Prince had fallen for her too…

All of a sudden, Qiu Nuo heard some noise in front of her.

"Look! The Chiyan Fruits are ripe!"

Following the sound, Qiu Nuo quickly turned her gaze over.

All she saw were three red Chiyan Fruits the size of a head shedding their skins to reveal the ruby red and crystal clear fruits within.

Under the light of the flame, the fruits glistened and looked magnificent.

"I heard that the Red Lotus Fire Stone will appear under the Flame Tree when the Chiyan Fruit ripens. Let's go quickly in case others get ahead of us." Qiu Nuo heard the team of adventurers say.

Immediately, the team rushed toward the Flame Tree.

"Let's go too!" Xue Ling told her.

Seeing that all the adventurers were heading for the Flame Tree, Qiu Nuo followed behind and sped toward it.
