“Oh Heavens, that’s insane!” Zhao Manyan raised his thumb at Mo Fan, who had stopped the lava surge all by himself.

Only those who had resisted the lava surge knew how terrifying it was. Its strength was very close to that of a Ruler-level creature. He and Mu Bai had used all their might to stop it, but Mo Fan seemed to have held it back it with ease!

“My Meteor Scarlet was born here, so I doubt the Brown Lava could do any harm to me now,” Mo Fan smiled.

“Meteor Scarlet… can’t you come up with a better name?” Zhao Manyan blurted out.

“Why? I think it sounds pretty cool!”

Mui Guangqing had mentioned that the fire vein was formed when a meteorite landed on Sun Ridge around three hundred years ago. The scarlet Soul-grade Fire was obviously stained by the meteorite’s flame. It felt sacred and unusual. Since the Primitive Soul-grade Fire did not have a name, Mo Fan gladly gave her an appropriate and imperious name. He believed his opponents would be trembling in fear when they heard the name of his Soul-grade Fire as he was channeling his spells!

Meteor Scarlet, such a cool name!

“Two lives are still waiting for us; let’s stop wasting our time here!” Mu Bai interrupted them.

“You’re right, we have to hurry.”

—

Mo Fan was no longer afraid of the lava surge, so they no longer had to travel cautiously in the tunnel. They walked out of the chamber easily, but they still underestimated the force of the following lava surge. Mo Fan initially planned to strut his way out of the tunnel like a king to surprise Mui Guangqing, Qi Shan, Dongfang Xifeng, and the others, but they all ended up being blown out of the tunnel ignomiously instead…

Zhao Manyan and Mu Bai rose to their feet, cursing, their faces covered in soot.

Mo Fan immediately felt awkward. He had taken it too far.

“Did it work?” Mui Guangqing asked, his eyes glittering.

“Yes. Even though the Primitive Soul-grade Fire is still being forged slowly, it has granted me a certain compatibility with the lava here. I’ll carry Mui Qing into the dome and perform CPR on her…” Mo Fan said.

“Dongfang Linlin is almost at her limit, hurry up!” Dongfang Xifeng said impatiently.

Mo Fan took Mui Qing up in his arms. Mui Guangqing mentioned that the White Lava was richer in oxygen. Once the flames in Mui Guangqing’s lungs cleared, she should wake up pretty quickly.

“Meteor Scarlet!”

After claiming the Soul-grade Fire, Mo Fan’s control of the Fire Element had improved significantly, even if he was not Possessed by Little Flame Belle. A ring of fire shrouded Mo Fan. It did not disappear when it made contact with the White Lava.

“It works!” Mo Fan was overjoyed. He took another step forward.

The Meteor Scarlet flame had her own consciousness and spirit, while the White Lava was like the guardian of flames. When it noticed the Meteor Scarlet trying to enter the dome, it voluntarily split apart to grant Mo Fan access.

“I didn’t think you were like a little princess here!” Mo Fan was quite surprised. The status of Meteor Scarlet was higher than he had imagined. He could sense the respect from the White Lava.

Everything was going to be a lot easier in that case! Mo Fan walked into the sacred space protected by the White Lava. To his surprise, the place was a lot bigger than he assumed!

“A compressed space?” Mo Fan looked forward and noticed the other end of the dome at the end of his range of vision.

On the outside, the dome only covered a round area around a hundred meters in diameter, but inside it was a different world!

Mo Fan took a deep breath. As Mui Guangqing had mentioned, the oxygen was thicker here. It felt more comfortable than breathing in the mountains.

Mo Fan slowly placed Mui Qing down. He knew there was another person waiting for him outside the dome. It was better to wake Mui Qing up as soon as possible!

Mo Fan took off the things that were restraining Mui Qing’s breathing, adeptly removing her bra with a single hand.

The two enormous bunnies bounced around inside her clothes after their restraint was removed. Mo Fan immediately experienced the meaning behind the expression “ready to come out at one’s call”!

“So huge, they are on the same level as Ai Tutu’s! It would be a pity if she was to die here,” Mo Fan exclaimed.

Mo Fan pried open Mui Qing’s mouth. He could not count on an unconscious person to take deep breaths. He definitely had to lend her a hand. Not only did he have to help her breathe, he also had to apply a certain pressure on her chest so she could spit out the flames in her lungs.

Mo Fan was feeling a little hot after repeating the same actions more than ten times. Why wasn’t she waking up yet? He was going to turn into a monster if she remained unconscious. The touching was just too good!

Mui Qing suddenly sat upright and let out a few hacking coughs.

Mo Fan could see black smog coming out of her mouth as she finally cleared the things in her lungs. Mo Fan wiped his sweat away and rose to his feet.

Mui Qing slowly regained her awareness. She looked at Mo Fan and the surroundings. She was obviously clueless about what had happened, nor did she know why she was alone with a man in a confined space like this…

“Don’t ask any questions yet. There’s someone waiting to be saved by you. If you don’t save her, none of us are going to leave this place alive,” Mo Fan told Mui Qing.

Mui Qing’s mind was still in a blur. She did not resist when Mo Fan picked her up in his arms.

“Ugh, can you cover yourself up again?” Mo Fan lowered his head and saw a pair of huge objects close to his mouth. He immediately had the urge to dive right into them!

AHHHHHHHH! Why aren’t I a complete asshole!?

Mui Qing was still in a daze. She fixed up her clothes and allowed Mo Fan to carry her out of the dome.

—

It seemed like Mo Fan could move freely between the White Lava after he had claimed the Meteor Scarlet. Mui Guangqing was quite jealous of his ability.

Mui Qing started casting her magic to heal Dongfang Linlin’s poison. As her blistered back and aura slowly recovered, everyone subconsciously let out a relieved sigh.

Finally… they might finally make it out of the place in one piece!

—

“Mo Fan, since you can move freely in this place, you should rest up and replenish your energy for now. You will be in charge of setting up the space coordinates!” Mui Zhuocheng gave Mo Fan the Scroll of Space.

“Sure, our job here is done once we break the Sarkinite Rock and set up the space coordinates… what a relief! The journey was a little troublesome, but at least everything has worked out well. Everyone is perfectly unharmed too!” Mo Fan said.

“I doubt so, the Healer isn’t unharmed at all,” Zhao Manyan said.

Mui Qing had obviously realized a certain someone had touched most of her body after she had fully regained awareness. She did not even dare look Mo Fan in the eyes. Every time Mo Fan said something, she would blush subconsciously.

The team had no intention of staying in this place any longer after getting some rest. Dongfang Linlin took the initiative to lead the team to the Sarkinite deposit.

“Time to go. Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Mu Bai, Mui Qing, the four of you will stay here and rest. The others will follow me to deal with the Sarkinite…Qi Shan? Where’s Qi Shan?” Mui Zhuocheng said.

“I’m here; are we going now?” Qi Shan asked.

“Yeah, the earlier the better. Who knows what’s going to happen in there later; it’s all you now. I believe there are some creatures close to the Sarkinite deposit,” Mui Zhuocheng said.

“Don’t worry, I can handle it,” Qi Shan said.

“After we are done here, our status in the clan will rise tremendously. You will be able to choose any woman you like when the time comes,” Mui Zhuocheng smiled.

Qi Shan’s lips twisted. The words had obviously touched upon his pain.

“Come, it’s time to go!” Mui Guangqing said.

Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan were extremely worn out. Defending against the Fiery-Winged Tyrant and jumping into the pool of Brown Lava were strenuous tasks!

Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan were still suffering from injuries. After Mui Qing recovered, she helped to treat their injuries. Mu Bai was in a better spot, with only some minor burns. He could easily treat himself with medicine.

After meditating for a while, they managed to replenish some of their energy. Mo Fan opened his eyes. He could not tell how much time had passed. Feeling bored, he glanced at Mu Bai, who was sitting still beside him, and asked, “Mu Bai, where have you been over the years?”

“Everywhere. I would visit the Ancient Capital at times,” Mu Bai replied.

“How about Wang Sanpang? Is that guy still alive?” Mo Fan said.

“He’s fine. He has a wife now, and is already a father. He normally helps me sell the loot I bring back from the wild. He has opened a magic shop now. He’s doing pretty well,” Mu Bai answered.

“How about Zhou Ming? I thought there were some fireworks between you two?” Mo Fan asked.

“You’re the one she likes. There’s nothing between us, really. We would hang out at times. She must have stayed at school. It’s been a while since I last saw her,” Mu Bai said.

“Oh, tell her to stop being infatuated with me. My heart already belongs to someone now… it’s impossible between the two of us,” Mo Fan said quickly.

“How shameless can you be?” Mu Bai said coldly.

Zhao Manyan opened his eyes and joined the conversation. “Speaking of which, I initially thought Qi Shan was the smitten kind, but I saw him at the bar we went to!”

“For real?” Mo Fan seemed surprised.

“Really, I saw him when Sister Li was carrying us. He was sitting very close to a good-looking girl with short hair while talking to her!” Zhao Manyan claimed.

“Don’t you feel ashamed mentioning that a woman carried you home?” Mu Bai harrumphed.

“Huh? Why would I feel ashamed? You were the one that did it on the mountain!” Zhao Manyan blurted out.

“On…on the mountain?” Mui Qing could no longer focus on recovering her energy. How perverted were these three men? She initially assumed they were gentlemen!

“Nonsense, I was only talking to her!” the thin-skinned Mu Bai blurted out.

“Even dogs wouldn’t believe that,” Zhao Manyan seemed displeased by Mu Bai’s hypocritical behavior. He quickly turned to the other side and asked, “Don’t you think so too? Mo Fan?”

“I think I’m your grandfather!” Mo Fan scolded back. There was no way he would take the bait.

Mui Qing could no longer stand their conversation, and immediately moved into a corner. However, she could not help but take a few glances at Mo Fan when she recalled him saying that his heart already belonged to someone else…
