“I’ll go!”

Song s.h.i.+ nodded without hesitation. He was not afraid of life-threatening danger. People would die the moment he saw the mission. He had to take a look.

“Then I’ll help you apply to go with the cultivators recruited by the Vermilion Bird Palace.”

Huo Yan took out her token and closed her eyes to communicate for a moment. Then, she said, “It’s a little urgent this time. We have to set off in a day. At that time, we have to check your ident.i.ty. If there’s no problem, we can teleport to the Mystic North Continent immediately.”

“Alright, sorry to trouble you.”

Song s.h.i.+ thanked her. This matter should not have much to do with Huo Yan but the other party remembered him and treated him as a friend.

“If there’s a chance to come back in the future, I’ll treat you.”

Huo Yan smiled.

“I’d like that.”

Song s.h.i.+ knew that the probability of returning was not high. Not to mention the distance, even if he was thrown out of the Land of Demon Refinement again, it would be very difficult for him to land nearby.

Huo Yan walked over and opened the incense burner. She took out the spices and placed them inside. She lit the extinguished incense burner again, and a faint purple smoke spread.

In the fragrant fog, her graceful figure was faintly discernible. She turned her head and looked at Song s.h.i.+ with a strange expression. “My husband died a thousand years ago. He died on a patrol. He was also a Heaven Patrolling Guards.”

“Oh, my fellow comrade. Did the demons do it?”

Song s.h.i.+ did not seem to see the different emotions in Huo Yan’s eyes.

“Yes, a demon possessed another Heaven Patrolling Guards and ambushed him to death.”

Huo Yan gritted his teeth. “I still haven’t found that demon!”

“He might have been beaten to death.”

Song s.h.i.+ could not help but think of a similar fellow he had met.

“If you’re willing to avenge me, I can follow you.”

Huo Yan took a step forward and her face turned red.

“I’m not very interested in you. You don’t have to follow me just because I’m rich.”

Song s.h.i.+ shook his head and refused.

“I understand.”

Huo Yan smiled readily. “It’s a pity that I haven’t liked a man for a long time. In the end, I didn’t have the chance to develop our relations.h.i.+p.”

“That’s right. If I stay with you for too long, I might really lose my virginity.”

Song s.h.i.+ teased.

“If I can’t fight you and win, I’ll make you lose your virginity.”

Huo Yan snorted and turned to leave.

“The foreign races are really direct.”

Song s.h.i.+ could not help but laugh, but then he could not laugh anymore.

He suddenly realized something.

Men had to be careful when they were outside. If they were not strong enough, they might be captured as husbands.

He took out his token and activated it, but there was no reaction. He could not communicate with the artifact spirit a.s.signed by the Vermilion Bird Palace.

“At the end of the day, the palaces are still isolated from each other.”

Song s.h.i.+ did not try again and could only follow Huo Yan tomorrow.

Just as he was about to cultivate for a day to accept the recruitment, Huo Yan knocked on the door after cultivating for half a day.

“Don’t be so polite. This is your place.”

Song s.h.i.+ opened his eyes.

“I saw you cultivating and was afraid that you would suffer from Qi Deviation.”

Huo Yan opened the door and smiled playfully at Song s.h.i.+. “There’s nothing I can send you off with. So I made you a meal before you left.”

“You know how to cook.”

Song s.h.i.+ was surprised. “An otherworldly fairy can actually enter the kitchen?”

“Of course. I was a married woman.”

Huo Yan placed her hands on his hips and said fiercely, “Let’s go. I haven’t cooked in a long time.”

“Then I’ll have to try your cooking.”

Song s.h.i.+ followed Huo Yan to the dining room with interest. The table was already filled with all kinds of dishes, mainly home-cooked dishes.

Song s.h.i.+ was surprised to find that most of them were human food. “Does your Vermilion Bird Tribe eat these too?”

“Of course not, but your human recipes are quite famous. They’re widely circulated amongst the various races. I used to make these dishes in the past.”

Huo Yan handed the chopsticks to Song s.h.i.+. “Try it.”

Song s.h.i.+ took a bite of the simplest scrambled egg and hummed. “Not bad. It tastes like home.”

“Of course. My cooking method is different from the chefs in the restaurants outside.”

Huo Yan was even happier after being praised. She said happily, “Try this vinegar stir fry cabbage.”

“You eat too. You don’t have to be so polite.”

Song s.h.i.+ pointed to the side. “Aren’t your children here?”

“No, I told them to stay in the Flowing Light Continent. It’s safer and more convenient down there. It’s getting more and more dangerous here.”

Huo Yan sat down and explained her situation, “In the past thousand years, the Demon Race has been moving around more and more frequently. In the past, the benefits outweighed the risks. Now, it’s not necessarily the case.

Song s.h.i.+ nodded. “The first time I accepted a special Quest, I encountered a trap set up by the demons. The probability of encountering danger is indeed high.”

“It’s not that high. You’re just unlucky.” Huo Yan smiled and said, “I’ve patrolled for three hundred years and guarded for more than a thousand years. I’ve only met the demons twelve times. On average, I’ve met them less than once every ten years.”

“Maybe I’m just lucky?”

Song s.h.i.+ thought for a moment. “Luck to keep encountering misfortune.”

Huo Yan chuckled. “Then I don’t recommend you to accept this recruitment. What if you’re unlucky and encounter a trap?”

“It’s fine. I like being trapped. I hope there’s a surprise this time.”

Song s.h.i.+ did not care.

Huo Yan thought that Song s.h.i.+ was joking and changed the topic. “I still don’t know where your hometown is.”

The two of them chatted as they ate. Time pa.s.sed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to set off.

Huo Yan stood up and waved her hand. The pots and pans immediately flew up. Under her Nomological power, they were automatically washed clean. The leftovers were reduced to ashes under the flames. She was extremely efficient in cleaning up.

“Let’s go to the Teleportation Hall.”

Huo Yan led the way, and they flew directly to a half-open palace.
