Chapter 2780 Xiaoman (The Soul of the Original Body)
Hu Xiaoman's mouth seemed to be covered with honey, he kept flattering the master, and the smile on his face was very sweet.
When she was caught, she had already put the little yellow jellyfish into the Fire Spirit Ring.
Although Hu Xiaoman had a smile on his face at this moment, his heart was in a knot.
She knew that if the strange old man in front of her insisted on digging out her spiritual roots and eating them, she would have no ability to resist.
But she had already thought of a way, so she could only say sweet words to delay time.
The old man's originally fierce movements suddenly stopped, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
If he counted carefully, he couldn't remember how many long years it had been since he had heard such flattery.
In an instant, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, as if Hu Xiaoman's words brought him back to those glorious days.
"Back then, I was the most powerful person in the world and no one could defeat me."
"He led thousands of brave soldiers and slaughtered the Fire Kirin clan in one fell swoop."
"At that time, everyone under my command was loyal to me and obeyed my orders."
"Their eyes are filled with admiration and respect for my heroic figure."
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, immersed in memories, his dark eyes flickering with complex light, showing pride, loneliness, and a hint of unspeakable melancholy.
“But who could have expected that those Fire Kirin beasts, when they were dying, would willingly abandon their bodies and transform into blazing flames, setting up this bizarre purgatory, just to imprison my soul here forever.”
"This siege lasted for hundreds of thousands of years."
“Although my soul is tenacious and has not dispersed, I have never heard a word of comfort in these long years.”
"Hearing what you said today, it reminds me of the good old days."
He looked Hu Xiaoman up and down, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.
"This little girl is quite clever and sweet-mouthed. I am a little reluctant to eat you."
However, the fire spirit that had been jumping on the old man's messy white hair that looked like a bird's nest was unhappy when it heard this.
It pouted its flaming "mouth" angrily and snorted coldly: "Are you blind, little girl?"
It used a flame to transform into a pair of small hands and pulled the old man's bird-nest-like hair, then pointed at the old man's face and said, "He's like this, and he's still so heroic?"
"Don't be funny."
"He has been dead for a long time. Now he is just a lonely ghost trapped in this fiery purgatory."
“If he hadn’t relied on the flames to barely rebuild this half-human, half-ghost flame body, he would have been a pitiful ghost that even this spirit would despise and spit on.”
“Can this be called amazing?”
As the Fire Spirit spoke, he jumped down from the old man's white hair, hovered in the air, and looked at the old man with disdain.
It seems that because Hu Xiaoman flattered the old man, the fire spirit was furious.
After training Hu Xiaoman, it looked at the old man like an old man again.
"With this eerie face made of flames, how can you still remember your former heroic appearance?"
"Stop being funny!"
"You evil ghost!"
Every time the fire spirit spoke, Hu Xiaoman nodded in his heart and gave it a thumbs up.
Every word Huo Ling said touched Hu Xiaoman's heart, but she had no choice but to flatter him for the sake of her own life.
At first, Hu Xiaoman thought that this fire spirit was a pet raised by the ghostly old man.
But now seeing it scolding the old man so unscrupulously and mercilessly, it is obvious that the relationship between the two is not that simple.
If possible, I really want to snatch this little fire spirit away.
Just when the ghostly old man's face was extremely gloomy, a cold laugh came from not far away.
This laughter seemed to carry an endless chill, instantly dissipating some of the scorching heat from Hu Xiaoman's body that was burned by the flames.
Hu Xiaoman subconsciously turned his head slightly and looked towards the source of the sound with great effort. Only then did he see clearly that there was a person tied to a huge pillar of fire not far away - it was Qi Yan.
At this moment, Qi Yan's long, flaming red hair was scattered freely down his face like a burning flame, covering his handsome yet somewhat cold profile.
His eyes were as black as ink and as deep as the endless night sky.
But deep in those eyes, there was a burning hatred that seemed to be able to ignite this fiery purgatory.
"Everyone knows that Ghost Evil Lord was an extremely narcissistic person when he was alive."
"In order to wipe out my Fire Kirin clan, I am willing to sacrifice the lives of my entire Ghost clan."
"Now he has ended up like this, just a lonely soul, and he still fantasizes that someone will compliment him. He is really shameless and has no sense of shame to the extreme."
Qi Yan's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be filled with endless anger and contempt.
As soon as Qi Yan finished speaking, the fire spirit that was originally noisy suddenly nodded heavily.
Then, it flew in front of Qi Yan with a whoosh.
Looking at the bound Qi Yan, Huo Ling sighed helplessly and shook his head slowly, his tone full of regret and sorrow.
"You are the only one left in the Fire Qilin clan now."
"Back then, your people risked their lives to send you away, and warned you many times not to come back."
"But why are you so stubborn and won't listen to advice?"
"Now we have fallen into the hands of this ghost again."
"Alas, what a pity! It seems that the last Fire Qilin in this world cannot escape its fate and will soon disappear completely. My heart is filled with grief."
Qi Yan glanced at the Fire Spirit coldly, and the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.
"Who are you? Get out!"
When the fire spirit heard this, it was instantly enraged, and the flames, which were already burning vigorously, suddenly jumped several feet higher.
"Who do you think I am?"
"Humph, I am a fire spirit that was bred by this flaming purgatory over countless years!"
"Thinking back then, your Fire Kirin clan was brutally massacred by the Ghost Clan. Thousands of Fire Kirins were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their last dignity and hope, and turned into this endless flaming purgatory."
"They used up their last bit of strength to place the mysterious and powerful stone seal, just to imprison the ghost's soul here and prevent him from escaping and harming the world again."
"But you actually found such a kid, broke the ancient spell on the stone tablet, and stupidly barged in yourself. Isn't this just walking into a trap?"
"You have failed the Fire Kirin clan's expectations of you!" The Fire Spirit became more and more excited as he spoke, and the flames kept jumping and rolling.
Just as the fire spirit was excited and talking incessantly, the ghostly old man had quietly walked behind it.
