Speaking of what happened one hour ago, Li Wenli completely lost his temper after the Great Chief’s appearance was seen by him.
He was determined to kill the person who had seen his appearance.
Thus, without hesitation, he initiated another round of frenzied quarrying, wishing he could collapse the entire mountain to crush Li Wenli to death.
However, he must have struck a certain stone because the originally stable mountain started to tremble.
The calm magma below also began to stir due to the shaking, suddenly erupting upwards.
Luckily for Li Wenli, with the Fire Spirit’s protection, he wasn’t afraid of high temperatures, otherwise, he would have certainly been the first to be sacrificed.
At this moment, Li Wenli was enveloped by the Fire Spirit and floated to a safe zone. When he turned back, where could the shadow of the Great Chief be seen?
Even the two stone short swords on him had almost melted after falling into the magma, let alone the Great Chief, who had long been swallowed by the lava without a trace left.
Li Wenli could only resign himself to jumping into the magma to retrieve the short swords and then left in a sorry state.
It was also because of this that he ended up in his current state.
Bai Junjun empathetically patted the dust off the Fox’s body.
If she had been responsible for covering the rear just now, she would have probably turned into a wisp of green smoke the moment they encountered the lava.
Indeed, having more Special Abilities is beneficial, look at the Fox, how formidable he is, with a body impervious to both blade and fire.
"Speaking of which, aren’t there any Fire Spirits in this lava?" Bai Junjun asked curiously.
Li Wenli glanced at her helplessly, "Do you think Fire Spirits are as common as stones? This is just a small lava tributary flowing to who knows where; it won’t nurture any Fire Spirits."
Only in volcanoes can Fire Spirits possibly exist.
Bai Junjun nodded in understanding and patted Li Wenli’s shoulder, "Brother, you’ve worked hard, go wash up and rest."
Li Wenli wrapped his arm around her shoulder in return, "Who has time to wash and sleep? It’s urgent to meet with Manager Qiao."
Saying this, Li Wenli walked towards Manager Qiao’s courtyard with the young lady’s shoulder under his arm.
Bai Junjun didn’t struggle, assuming the Fox had been startled by the magma and needed some comfort.
She followed the steps of the Fox, talking as they walked.
"I saw Yuwen Jun just now."
Bai Junjun might have been better off not mentioning it, as upon hearing the name, Li Wenli stopped in his tracks with a complex expression, "You ran into him outside the cave?"
"No, at the alleyway." Bai Junjun replied truthfully.
Li Wenli became alarmed, "He... you..."
The lad actually dared to provoke them at the alley?
"That guy had just arrived at the Imperial Capital and happened to encounter a group who were after him; I managed to resolve the situation without knowing."
Li Wenli’s eyebrows lifted, the young lady had actually played the hero and rescued the beauty!
"Don’t know." Bai Junjun shrugged.
"Don’t know?" Li Wenli became anxious, he didn’t believe that guy hadn’t said anything.
Bai Junjun looked innocent, "I didn’t listen carefully, nor did I have time to bother with him."
Hearing this, the corners of Li Wenli’s mouth unconsciously curled upwards.
Bai Junjun could feel that the Fox’s mood had noticeably improved, but she still didn’t understand what the Fox was holding back.
Not understanding, she decided to put it aside and discuss it later.
By this time, the two of them had arrived unknowingly at the desolate backyard.
They temporarily dropped the topic.
Manager Qiao, who had his Lifebound Gu removed, had woken up from his coma. People with Gu insects are like having a Golden Finger protecting their bodies; now that the Golden Finger had been cut off, he was naturally greatly weakened.
While Manager Qiao was groggy, the door to his room was suddenly flung open.
