Chapter 453: It’s Nonsense
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Qingluan had encountered countless divine beasts in her past life.
Moreover, her own contract beast was a Blood Phoenix, an ancient divine beast with bloodline power far surpa.s.sing these saint beasts, naturally inspiring no awe in her.
She furrowed her brows. “Where did you draw this conclusion from?”
“Haven’t you noticed the poison he’s afflicted with? It requires a balance of Yin and Yang to suppress it,” the Heaven-Burrowing Rat explained.
The Saint Light Tiger continued, “His current fiery temper causes the Phoenix flames to rage uncontrollably. If we don’t detoxify him soon, he might get burned alive.”
Of course, being burned to death by one’s own flames wasn’t considered death; it was rebirth through Nirvana!
These trivial matters didn’t need to be mentioned to her.
Gu Qingluan glanced at the three of them.
From the three animal faces, she surprisingly saw sincerity.
“Ha!” Gu Qingluan wasn’t so easily convinced by them.
She would have to investigate herself to find out what was really going on.
“Lie Yan, wait for me outside.”
“Master, that’s Phoenix Fire! It’s divine fire!” Lie Yan nervously reminded her.
Phoenix Fire! It could burn people to death!
Gu Qingluan remained composed. “No worries, it’s just Phoenix Fire.”
She had it inside her too, so there was nothing to fear.
Having witnessed Gu Qingluan’s abilities, and seeing her so calm, Lie Yan felt a.s.sured and finally relaxed.
“Master, be careful. If you encounter danger, come out immediately.”
Gu Qingluan nodded and stepped into the cave.
The barrier set at the entrance was only meant to withstand the heat inside the cave and wouldn’t hinder Gu Qingluan’s entry.
Seeing Gu Qingluan enter, the three Ninth-Grade Saint Beasts looked at each other.
They hadn’t expected it to be so easy.
They thought they would have to put in some effort to get her inside.
“Someone who can be friends with the big shot clearly isn’t an ordinary person.” The Heaven-Burrowing Rat sighed.
The Golden Feathered Roc rejoiced, “Fortunately, 1 didn’t offend her just now.”
It refrained from trying to capture her because it foresaw potential complications arising from the powerful individual in the cave. Surprisingly, this young girl, who had recently achieved Saint status, possessed impressive abilities.
As soon as Gu Qingluan stepped inside, she found herself swiftly ensnared by fiery tendrils.
For anyone else, they would have turned to ashes in an instant.
The divine fire within Gu Qingluan’s body sensed the Phoenix Fire and immediately flew out, enveloping her entire body.
The Phoenix Fire was isolated outside of Gu Qingluan’s divine fire.
Gu Qingluan approached the Phoenix lying in the center of the cave.
This Phoenix was more beautiful than any Phoenix she had ever seen.
It was enveloped in flames of fiery red, with a graceful neck, and feathers that shimmered like rubies in the fire.
As Gu Qingluan got closer, the Phoenix’s flames didn’t repel her; instead, they acted like a guiding hand, urging her closer.
This was the first time Gu Qingluan had seen Feng Tianlan in this form.
Although she had mentally prepared herself, she still found it incredibly astonishing.
She wondered if he had any consciousness right now. If he did, what must he be thinking at this moment?
In the short distance she walked, many thoughts flashed through Gu Qingluan’s mind.
Before long, she stood in front of the Phoenix.
Gu Qingluan felt somewhat helpless.
If this were a person, she could examine their pulse and provide treatment.
But now, the ent.i.ty before her was a Phoenix. How could she diagnose and treat its injuries?
Gu Qingluan had no other choice but to use her divine consciousness to first a.s.sess the situation.
Those three Ninth-Grade Saint Beasts were simply talking nonsense.
If he truly needed a balance of Yin and Yang, at the very least, they could have found a bird for him. Why bother involving her?
As soon as Gu Qingluan’s divine consciousness touched the Phoenix’s body, it was forcibly pulled in by a powerful force.
She couldn’t help but be startled and hastily withdrew.
However, the other party’s power was domineering and overwhelming, and it came suddenly; Gu Qingluan couldn’t resist it at all..
