Chapter 31: When Danger Arrives, You Must Run!

Ren Yidao: "Huh?"

Jing Yueqin: "Huh?"

Yu Yu: "... Huh?"

The three of them stared at each other with wide eyes; for a moment, no one on Luoyue Peak spoke.

Yu Yu: "!"

There is danger!

Run!

Although she had not figured out the situation, Yu Yu, who instinctively sensed something was wrong, looked left and right cautiously and began to shuffle backward step by step.

Over the past half month, Yu Yu had developed a kind of instinctive intuition.

Someone is out to get me!

Through one painful experience after another, she had summarized a lesson.

When danger arrives, one must stay far away from these two people.

Because Senior Brother and Senior Sister are the most dangerous of all!

They are danger itself!!!

"Eep!"

But unfortunately, she was one step too late this time.

Just as she was about to slip away, Yu Yu was suddenly yanked back by Jing Yueqin, who then grabbed her in a hug from behind.

Cuddle!

"Little Yu Yu~ Where are you running off to? Come quickly into Sister's embrace!"

Jing Yueqin smiled with narrowed eyes and rubbed her head against Yu Yu's back, causing the young girl to struggle shyly a few times.

Hehehe, little sister~ Let Sister love you well!

"Wait a moment, that tickles! Hahaha, so ticklish..."

Having fallen into the demon's clutches, the young girl felt both shy and amused, but she simply could not escape.

In desperation, she could only cast a look of appeal toward the only hope beside her.

Senior Brother, save me...

Wait, why are you laughing!?

Foster Father!!!

Unfortunately, the youth who was smiling ambiguously only gave a thumbs-up in the end, then turned and left.

"Good luck, you must survive!"

Yu Yu:?

"F-Foster Father! Save—"

Her last hope shattered; in her desperation, the cornered Yu Yu finally chose to fight back, and she went to tickle Jing Yueqin too!

I'll fight you to the death!

"Wait! You are, hahaha!"

"Not listening, not listening—"

Listening to the laughter behind him, Ren Yidao could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"Are you two the same age?"

"Are you a husky and a golden retriever?"

Perhaps because they were the same gender, or perhaps because their mental maturity was similar, the relationship between these two senior sisters and junior sisters was unexpectedly quite good after a few days of being together.

After Ren Yidao got angry that day, Jing Yueqin had hidden herself away on Lingxu Peak.

Furthermore, through Duan Hong, she had solemnly issued a declaration of leaving home to Ren Yidao:

"I, Jing Yueqin, would rather starve to death outside, die out there, or jump off from here, than ever bow my head!"

Peak Master Jing will never be a slave!

She had always been someone who kept her word.

She said she wouldn't go home, so she wouldn't go home!

"Unless he comes to beg me, I will absolutely not go back on my own!"

Regarding her earth-shattering declaration, both Duan Hong and Ren Yidao just sneered a few times and ignored it.

Duan Hong: You should hurry up and leave; don't be an eyesore here, really.

Ren Yidao: Heh, I dub you Jing Jingze.

Yu Yu:... Huh? What happened? Why don't I understand any of this?

Later on.

There was nothing left to say.

After keeping quiet for a few days and confirming that Ren Yidao's anger had subsided, Jing Yueqin snuck onto Luoyue Peak on a dark and windy night.

She launched a surprise attack on Ren Yidao's Merit Workshop and tackled him!

"Let me sniff the tail!!!"

The tail-sniffing addiction had flared up; she was going through withdrawal!

After communicating with great effort, Jing Yueqin pulled up her pants and reminded him:

"You have to tell everyone outside that you begged me to come back, okay!"

"Heh, impossible."

"Don't be like that! Just say it—say it—"

With this, the four-and-a-half-day plan for Peak Master Jing to wander was officially declared a failure.

After paying a "price" where it was unclear who actually profited, Jing Yueqin returned to her throne in a dignified manner.

She resumed her happy times of bullying the men (Jian Xinxin) and oppressing the women (Yu Yu).

Not only did she not restrain herself because of the previous events, but she instead became even more unscrupulous, often cuddling with Yu Yu in front of others.

Regarding such actions of hers, Ren Yidao did not stop her.

After all, two beautiful girls hugging and cuddling was still quite pleasing to the eye.

Returning to the Cave Abode, Ren Yidao habitually picked up a string of Prayer Beads, but after a pause, he put them back down.

No, this string was used by Senior Sister last time.

It's not clean anymore.

After thinking for a moment, Ren Yidao took a jade cross down from the wall.

Making a gesture in front of his chest, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any problems with this one."

This one shouldn't be able to be used again, right?

Very satisfied with his own wit, Ren Yidao tapped the Wooden Fish with one hand while making gestures back and forth in front of his chest with the other.

Tap, tap, tap...

↑Whoosh↓Whoosh

Lieyang Peak, Earth Fire Source Heart.

"Hey, I'm asking you, Left Peak Master, have you not considered it yet?"

The lava imp sat with its legs crossed, glancing sideways at Zuo Su, who was sitting cross-legged beside it but not saying a word.

"I'm telling you now, if you don't make a decision quickly, we will give up on you."

Zuo Su still did not respond, slowly exhaling and inhaling, quietly and continuously swallowing the power of the earth fire.

"Tsk."

The lava imp clicked its tongue; Zuo Su's hesitation had already made it somewhat impatient.

Although it wouldn't go so far as to abandon this path that had been so hard to develop, it was still somewhat unpleasant.

"Forget it, call me when you've made up your mind."

Seeing that continuing to wait would not lead to any progress, the lava imp began to gradually melt and dissipate.

But just as it was about to dissipate, Zuo Su suddenly spoke:

"Your attitude has changed."

Hm?

The lava imp, which only had its head still in shape, asked curiously:

"What has changed?"

Oh ho, you are finally willing to speak!

A good thing!

As long as you are willing to respond, then many things can continue to be discussed.

However, Zuo Su's next sentence made the surprise in its heart dissipate by more than half.

"You have become less anxious."

"Why?"

Like a sharp blade of light cutting through space, a sinister gaze fell into the eyes of the lava imp.

!!!

Oh no.

Was I exposed!?

"Ahahaha, I don't understand what you are saying, Left Peak Master. What do you mean by this?"

Although it was shaken inside, it did not show it on the outside, but instead asked back strangely:

"What do I have to be anxious about? Haven't we already agreed on everything?"

However, Zuo Su did not buy it.

"Answer me, why?"

"Why did you change your attitude?"

After he spoke, the temperature in the Earth Fire Source Heart space seemed to drop by a few degrees; it actually felt a hint of coolness.

No, this was not the temperature of the Earth Fire Source Heart dropping.

It was Zuo Su's temperature rising rapidly!

He was like a huge and explosive fireball, constantly absorbing the surrounding heat.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Left Peak Master, calm down, you don't want others to notice this place, right!?"

But Zuo Su's answer was still just that one sentence:

"Answer me."

Damn it!

This guy must be crazy!

Zuo Su had gone mad, but it could not go mad along with him.

The lava imp severed its connection to this place before Zuo Su erupted, turning into a pool of lava.

"I'll wait until you've calmed down to talk; I'm leaving first..."

Yet what it did not see was that the moment it left, Zuo Su regained his calm.

"..."

An eerie calmness.
