"Phew."
Gu Ruoyun exhaled and slowly opened her eyes. A small smile hung on her face. "I've finally broken through to the rank of a mid-level Martial Supreme. It certainly wasn't a waste of time coming here."
Once she had said that, her gaze fell upon the trembling flaming dragon next to her.
How could the flaming dragon still carry his previous splendor now? His eyes were filled with terror and resentment as well as a deep sense of grief. His body no longer displayed its initial bright and vigorous appearance. Instead, his body has become transparent and he looked as if a gust of wind could blow his spirit away.
It seems that Gu Ruoyun's actions earlier has indeed brought a great deal of harm to his spirit.
"I'm going to take the Dragon Phoenix Fruit now. You have no objections, right?"
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow as she asked.
She would have loved to swallow this flaming dragon entirely if her body had not begun to feel saturated.
Unfortunately, she could not contain such great power.
The flaming dragon quickly nodded. Would I dare to object? This little girl is a total lunatic! I've already ignited my lifetime's worth of flames yet not only was it not enough to burn her to death, she had nearly eaten me alive.
Upon remembering the woman's lunacy, the flaming dragon's heart began to feel limp.
"Oh?" Gu Ruoyun curled her lips. "Do you still want my body?"
The flaming dragon quickly shook his head. How could he still have the courage to covet her physical body? All he wanted now as for this madwoman to leave this place as soon as possible!
Even though his spirit had been imprisoned here and he has no freedom, it was better than having his spirit scattered and completely destroyed! After this madwoman had consumed part of him, his spirit has become particularly weak. It was likely that his current level of power was not even at the Martial Emperor rank.
What powers would he have left to snatch this madwoman's physical body away?
"Seeing as you have no further issues, I'm leaving."
Gu Ruoyun rose to her feet. The flaming dragon watched as she walked towards the Dragon Phoenix Fruit which was surrounded by the flowers and plucked it. She then carefully wrapped it in a cloth bag.
"I never thought that I would reap such great profits after coming to Wind Fall Village." Gu Ruoyun giggled softly. "However, this is all because of Xiao Yu's hard work. Even though I don't have the time to teach her medicine right now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to gift her with a few books on medicine before I leave."
This blazing cave was located in a mountain at the back of Wind Fall Village. Hence, Gu Ruoyun was not very far from Wind Fall Village. She could still go back for a short visit after leaving the cave.
After that thought, Gu Ruoyun walked out of the cave without further delay.
"That madwoman has finally left."
Once he saw that Gu Ruoyun has left the cave, the flaming dragon heaved a sigh of relief and lamented resentfully, "She had consumed so much of my soul. How many years of recuperation would I need for a full recovery? I hope that I'll never see that madwoman again! It's too scary! Are humans these days that insane?"
The flaming dragon hurriedly shook his head.
He has been imprisoned her for a few thousand years now and has not been in contact with the secular world for so long. If humans were just as insane as that woman nowadays, he would much rather stay here for the rest of his life. This was a far better fate than being made into dessert for those lunatics' consumption.
Gu Ruoyun did not expect for her one inadvertent action to bring about a chain reaction. From that moment on, anyone who had unwittingly wandered into the blazing cave would be fortunate enough to leave with their lives.
At Wind Fall Village.
Gu Ruoyun paused in her footsteps outside the village as she looked at Wind Fall Village's plaque which was lying on the ground. Her lucid and elegant features sank as her clear gaze darkened.
"I've only been away for a few days, what has happened to Wind Fall Village? I don't know why but I have a very bad feeling about this..."
