215: Now Or Never!

Now Or Never!

"The magma and fire in there is exactly why I need to go in! Let go!"1

Feng Xun picked Feng Wu up with both hands and lifted her off the ground!

Feng Wu kicked and scratched, struggling to get away!

Feng Xun's face went livid. "You silly girl! I know what this is all about. You're upset because Boss Jun didn't save you, and let you fall off that cliff. But killing yourself over such a petty thing? Seriously?"

Feng Wu blushed at those words. "Just put me down!"

"No! He doesn't like you, so what? Big deal! Fine, Boss Jun doesn't like you. I will! Stop acting like a baby. Come with me —"

Feng Wu almost had a stroke!

How did it have anything to do with Jun Linyuan? Looking at the smoke rising from the ground, Feng Wu was on edge. "Just let me go in there! I only need a minute! I'm not trying to kill myself!"

Feng Xun shook his head. "No. If I put you down, you'll run in there and never come out. Sorry about that —"

With a wave of his hand, Feng Xun threw Feng Wu onto his shoulder and marched in the other direction.

"No —" Feng Wu cried out in despair.

Inside the ring, Little Phoenix banged its head on the wall in frustration. "Arghh — the abnormal flame! MY abnormal flame! With it, I can get out of here and I'll be able to join you in battle! Aww —"

Unable to defeat Feng Xun, Feng Wu's struggles were in vain; Feng Xun wouldn't listen no matter what she said. Feng Wu was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness.

At that thought, Feng Wu kicked her legs in vexation. "Feng Xun! I hate you!"

Feng Xun said, "Fine, hate me all you want, but I'm not going to let you kill yourself. You can talk to me about anything you're upset about; killing yourself won't do anything. If you're dead, the only thing Boss Jun will say is 'oh' and he'll soon forget about you. Don't do this to yourself. It's not worth it. Feng Wu, I'm telling you —"

"Stop —" His chattiness gave Feng Wu a headache.

Inside the ring, Little Phoenix screamed angrily, "Hit him! Hit him! Kick his ass!"

Feng Xun looked at Feng Wu in confusion.

"I saw some Spiritual Dragon Tongue Grass, about 50 meters to the left ahead of us. And wherever that grass grows, Dark Netherworld Soil can't be far off, for the two always show up together." Feng Wu gestured at Feng Xun to put her down.

"Where?!" Feng Xun's eyes lit up!

For Spiritual Dragon Tongue Grass and Dark Netherworld Soil were the ingredients for the medicine that could save Mrs Ning. Feng Xun had come here into the mountains to search for them.

Feng Wu said, "It's northwest of us. See that big rock over there? They're right next to it. You're much faster than I am —"

"Alright. Wait here and I'll be right back —"

After that, Feng Xun rushed off!

Right at that moment, Feng Wu turned the other way and ran toward the core of the volcano!

"Yes! Run! Quickly —" Little Phoenix flew around in circles inside the ring with its talons all curled up. It was so anxious!

Run, run, run —

Feng Wu knew that she was running out of time!

It was like racing against life itself!

She had to have that first abnormal flame, for it was exactly what Little Phoenix had said: with the flame, the bird would be able to come out of the ring, which would be such a great help to Feng Wu.

It was now or never!
