Looking at the red flamed beast, I poked Jungkook's arm and whispered, "You mean, you want to go fight this big fire ball?"

"If not, are you going to?"

Jungkook glanced at me once.

"Now you know how much risk xiaoye needs to take. So later, remember to use all the wisdom you accumulated in this lifetime to quickly steal the stones..."

"I know, I know! Can that mouth of yours not always be so dissatisfied with me?" I interrupted him. "I'm also not stupid. If you die, I'll become a widow."

Jungkook blushed. He still wanted to say something, but the flamed beast below us was awakened by our movements. He looked up and his throat made a few threatening sounds. This flamed beast really made the demon that we saw a few days ago seem like a kitten.

Jungkook turned serious. He walked and stood in front of me. A fierce murderous energy made the flamed beast immediately quieted down.

The moon and stars were at the back. I followed the moon and the stars to hide in the shadows. I rushed to find a convenient place to go down the mountain and hide myself really well.

The flamed beast was a sensitive animal. When he looked up, flames grew out of his deep throat. His roar teared the sky. I covered my ears and acutely felt the thumping of my heart.

In a split second, the flamed beast flew into the sky. I saw a mass of flames rushing straight towards Jungkook.

In my heart, I silently wished him to take care. While the flamed beast attacked Jungkook, I sneaked into the cave. The stones in the cave were disordered; I looked left and right, but didn't see the pure white clean stone.

I heard the sounds of the battle going on above me. The flames looked like fireworks during a feast, and I couldn't see Jungkook's figure clearly. I gritted my teeth and walked deeper into the cave, knowing I needed to hurry. The flamed beast was an immortal beast. If Jungkook was killed by it, maybe he wouldn't even have the opportunity to go to the Netherworld. I really couldn't let myself become a widow.

I was still deep in my thoughts, when I suddenly looked up. Not far away, there was something glowing in a white light. I hurriedly went to it, elated. With one glance, I knew it wasn't the white stone that I'd been searching for, but two long hairs. It was two little flamed beasts that hadn't formed their fire yet.

Two little guys looked at me with watery eyes, innocently blinking. Something in my heart flickered. I hesitated for a moment, and hadn't had the time to put my hands on them when suddenly the mouths that hadn't even formed teeth cried out. It sounded as if I was dismembering them.

The sound of the battle suddenly stopped.

Cold sweat slid down my forehead. I stiffly turned around. The big fireball in the sky was glaring at me. His feet moved and in a blink of eye, he rushed towards me. Jungkook fiercely flung his whip and bound the flamed beast's foot.

I hardened my heart and took out the fan that Zihui gifted me. I read the spell and violently waved with the fan. A big wind came. Those two cubs rolled away like two little balls. Sharp screams could be heard.

I walked to the back of the cave and saw a pile full of white stones. I didn't need to touch them to feel the clean energy; these were certainly the fluorites! I pulled out the bag that I prepared and began to neatly pick them up.

Today, we could return triumphantly! No sooner had I just finished that thought when I felt something hot around the corner. I turned and looked.

"Dad, that person is here."
