Chapter 459: Chapter 459 Lamari Flame Mountain (3)_1

Dugu Qianye nodded, planning to fly up, but she discovered that flight was forbidden here. She attempted to use the Ethereal Step Technique to run up, but after covering just a short distance, she found it difficult to move, as if the air had solidified, nearly immobilizing her.

"It seems I must walk up." Dugu Qianye stopped, speaking rather helplessly.

"The temperature is so high here, staying for long will be very uncomfortable," Little Baiqiu cried out.

"There’s no other way. Flame, protect me!" With Flame, she could barely make herself less uncomfortable.

However, when she had walked about halfway, Flame gradually withered away, and the flames enveloping Dugu Qianye’s body were extinguished. Dugu Qianye sensed it—it was a kind of submission.

No wonder there were no burning flames on this mountain! Dugu Qianye thought.

Just then, the Wood Spirit Bead suddenly flew down from above and stopped in front of Dugu Qianye, spinning as if trying to communicate something about the mountain above. But since the Wood Spirit Bead couldn’t speak, and after a lengthy attempt to convey its message, Dugu Qianye still couldn’t understand it.

"Wood Spirit Bead, what’s the matter?" Dugu Qianye extended her hand, allowing the Wood Spirit Bead to land in her palm.

The Wood Spirit Bead spun in her palm, occasionally rolling towards the direction of the mountain peak and then circling in her hand.

"It’s saying, the Fire Spirit Pearl is telling you to walk up," Dandan couldn’t watch anymore and translated for her.

"Walk up?!" Dugu Qianye looked at the Wood Spirit Bead and asked, "Is that what you mean?"

The Wood Spirit Bead bobbed up and down, as if nodding.

At that moment, Dandan added, "The Fire Spirit Pearl also says you must not rely on any external force!"

"If we do that, Keke will be roasted!" Little Baiqiu shook its head.

"The Fire Spirit Pearl has already said that it refrained from turning you to ash for the sake of the Wood Spirit Bead and the others. If you can’t even do this much, then it will directly cook you!" After Dandan finished speaking, the Wood Spirit Bead bobbed again.

Listening to Dandan’s translation, Dugu Qianye said, "Why do I hear schadenfreude in your words?!"

"Cough, cough," Dandan feigned a cough and responded, "Really? I don’t think so! You must be mistaken."

He would never admit that seeing the once Creator God troubled by his former bracelet gave him a thrill of pleasure! It was precisely what she called reveling in another’s misfortune, hahaha!

If Dandan were outside, Dugu Qianye would definitely pinch his face. It was so obvious, yet he dared to deny it?!

Dugu Qianye retracted Flame, as it was so enfeebled now that it couldn’t help much with the heat anyway. Then she handed the Water Spiritual Pearl to Little Baiqiu, saying, "Hold onto it tight!"

Once she retracted Flame, Little Baiqiu felt the suffocating heat. Just as it was struggling to breathe, Dugu Qianye placed the Water Spiritual Pearl in its hands, and the cool sensation made it much more comfortable.

"Keke, if you give the Water Spiritual Pearl to someone else, what will you do?" Little Baiqiu asked.

"Didn’t you hear Dandan say? The Fire Spirit Pearl prevents me from relying on any external force. Naturally, I can’t use this Water Spiritual Pearl anymore. Qiuqiu, you promise me, no matter what happens, you must stay on my shoulder and never leave, otherwise I’ll put you back into the Refining Demon Pot!" Dugu Qianye said.

Upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, Little Baiqiu started crying again, wailing, "I don’t want to go into the Refining Demon Pot, I want to be with Keke!"

"Then you must promise to stay on my shoulder no matter what we encounter later on!" Dugu Qianye said, "Otherwise, I will..."

Little Baiqiu stopped crying and said, "I won’t come down, but Keke, don’t put me into the Refining Demon Pot. I want to be with Keke!"

It was the first time Dugu Qianye saw Little Baiqiu so insistent on staying with her, especially under such circumstances, and she was deeply moved. She took Little Baiqiu into her arms and kissed it, then placed it back on her shoulder and said, "I’m starting now." After speaking, she took a deep breath and began walking upward.

Initially, the golden bones felt quite foreign to her, but now she was grateful that her body was beyond ordinary. Since her meridians and bones had been tempered by flames, even though the soles of her shoes were about to melt, she wasn’t feeling too uncomfortable.

As she climbed higher, the temperature rose, and the ground turned hotter, melting the soles of her shoes. When her feet first touched the ground directly, she winced in pain, then took out a second pair of shoes. But the temperature was so high that the soles of her new shoes melted after just a few steps. Eventually, the shoes would turn to ash as soon as they touched the ground.

Her shoes were Holy Artifacts specially forged for her trip here; she never expected them to be so easily destroyed!

"Keke..." Little Baiqiu, seeing Dugu Qianye’s scalded feet forming blisters, called out her name with heartache.

The people on the Roc’s back saw the scene unfold below. Though there were no flames on the mountain, they understood the severity of the situation beneath them by the frequency of Dugu Qianye’s shoe changes and the speed at which they melted.

Zi Xiao clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh. Qie Yue and Ni Yun stared intensely at Dugu Qianye, unable to utter a single word. Tears filled Little Douzi’s eyes. Even though this was his first encounter with Dugu Qianye, she gave him a warm feeling, and he liked her. Watching her suffer like this pained him deeply.

As for the members of the Flame Army, they had completely accepted Dugu Qianye by now. Such a woman was fully worthy to be their mistress. Despite her lack of strength, her talents far surpassed anyone in Jiu Tian Xuan Realm when her level and age were taken into account!

Dugu Qianye, seeing her last pair of shoes melt away, steeled her resolve and stepped directly onto the ground with bare feet. "Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss—"

"Mmm—"

The moment her feet touched the ground, she heard the sizzling sound of her soles being seared like grilled meat, and she moaned in agony; her body nearly collapsed.

She looked up and saw that she had half the distance left to go, and at the top of that half-distance, a red bead was watching her, witnessing her in a wretched state.

Closing her eyes, Dugu Qianye used the Chaotic Power to protect her vital areas. Remembering the trials and tribulations she had faced along the way, and the fate that awaited her and her family if Yong Xing found out about her existence, she opened her eyes, and the commanding presence that overlooked the world once more emanated from her. Looking towards the mountaintop, she walked step by step; the flesh on her feet had been completely charred. With each lifting of her foot, the flesh fell off, leaving only her golden bones.

Zi Xiao, watching her fleshless feet, felt an unspeakable pain. He wanted to go down and join her, but he knew the whims of the Fire Spirit Pearl. If he went down, she wouldn’t be able to tame it today, and all the suffering she had endured would be in vain!

Seeing Dugu Qianye endure without a single complaint, without crying out in pain, without the slightest intention of giving up, the hearts of the others were deeply shaken!
