Chapter 164 Please Extinguish My Flames

The next day.

As dawn broke, Wang Xi opened his eyes and woke up.

He sat up, turned his head to look at the girl who was still sleeping soundly beside him, and reached out to brush away the messy hair covering her face.

Godariel's body was ultimately delicate, and last night's passionate encounter had exhausted all her strength. If Wang Xi hadn't deliberately restrained himself, with his superhuman physique, the little witch probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the onslaught of his lovemaking.

After all, a mage can't beat a warrior within seven steps.

Click...

A sound like gears turning could only be heard from Wang Xi's left chest.

"The gear-shaped brand has been cured!"

Current corruption progress: 0/100

The 30 points of corruption were completely eliminated through the healing power of true love.

Wang Xi's gaze softened as he looked at the girl.

Some things have already happened, so let them take their natural course.

"Hmm..." Godariel seemed to feel a hand gently brushing her cheek in her dazed state.

With her eyes still closed, she weakly mumbled, "Kai, please spare me."

He then gritted his teeth, rolled over, and wrapped his arms tightly around Wang Xi's waist and legs like a koala.

Wang Xi simply dragged along the Cinderella keychain and began his meditation for the day...

The sun gradually rose higher.

Temperatures are rising today, and the snow is starting to melt.

Taking advantage of the bright and beautiful weather, the troops broke camp and continued their march back.

Inside the moving candy carriage.

The atmosphere was silent and somewhat strange.

Bev the Sugar Witch looked rather grim, silently drinking her wine. Beside her, Sophia the Wolf Witch crossed her arms, glanced at Bev as she drank one glass after another, then looked at Godariel sitting opposite her.

Cinderella clung tightly to the young man's arm, almost pressing her entire body against him, her face radiant with happiness, a sweet smile playing on her lips. Her eyes were brimming with affection, her gaze so soft it seemed to draw silk from them.

“Foolish Bev, you’ve lost…”

Sofia muttered something and rubbed her nose.

"This human witch has completed her reproductive ritual; her scent is rather pungent. Humph."

Upon hearing this, Godalier froze.

She lowered her head shyly and quietly sniffed her clothes, but found no strange smell.

A hint of doubt flickered in his eyes.

What should I say...?

Are dogs' noses really that sensitive?

Pinocchio, sitting on the other side of Wang Xi, also tilted his head back, sniffed, and solemnly echoed:

"Yes, I can smell it too, but it's a strange, sour smell, like lemons."

Beverly raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Then Sophia grumbled, "It's really strange, how can such a fragile body withstand the demon wolf's attacks—"

Pong!
Bever punched her hard on the forehead.

"Are you crazy, Bev? Why did you hit me!"

Sofia angrily cursed.

Beverly remained silent, only pouring wine.

Pinocchio looked puzzled and curious, and asked, "By the way, what is a procreation ritual?"

"..."

Everyone fell into silence.

“It’s like blacksmithing.” At this moment, the wolf hunter Kate stopped playing with his knife, raised his eyes, and explained in a deep voice, “He hammers out the iron blank, and then slowly assembles it into a new machine.”

"Oh." Pinocchio seemed to understand, but not quite. "That's how I was born... but Father only needed one person, so why did Kai and Godariel need two?"

Kate was speechless for a moment.

"I understand." His face lit up with an expression of enlightened elation. "The more people, the better the effect, right?"

As he spoke, Pinocchio stroked his chin thoughtfully:
"Humans are not machines after all; their physical structures are far more intricate, and assembling a newborn is not an easy task."

"..."

Everyone fell silent again.

...

...

Three days later.

Wang Xi's army finally entered the territory of the royal capital, Daphneel.

The group stopped at the outskirts of the Magic Forest.

"Miss Bev, Miss Sophia, thank you both for your help along the way."

After getting off the candy carriage, Wang Xi thanked the two witches.

However, Bev's attitude was much colder. She simply hummed in agreement and said, "You're welcome. The Magic Forest and the Deer Kingdom are allies, so it's only right that we lend a helping hand."

She glanced at the young man and the witch beside him.

"Let's say goodbye and head back."

After saying that, Bev called out to Sophia and prepared to lead the monster army away.

But at this moment.

Thump! Thump!

A tremendous, earth-shaking noise was heard.

Everyone looked up and saw a lava giant, two heads taller than the granite giant, walking straight out of the forest.

The seven- or eight-meter-tall behemoth, engulfed in flames, did not ignite the surrounding vegetation in the slightest.

The fire giant, with a hunched back, carried a windmill on its back. In front of the windmill sat a high-backed chair, upon which sat a blonde girl in a blue and white dress.

It was none other than Lillian, the Fire Witch, the strongest being in the Magic Forest.

Bev and Sophia stopped in their tracks, looking surprised. They hadn't expected Lillian to come and greet them personally.

Wang Xi was also surprised; this was the first time he had ever seen the Fire Witch's mobile dwelling. "Burning Windmill - Flame Giant (Friendly/5-Star/Elite)"

Even the mount has a bronze frame and five stars!
The fire giant stopped in front of the group, raised its large hand, and lifted its master to the ground.

"You are back."

Lillian walked towards him calmly.

Suddenly, she let out a soft exclamation, staring at the young man with a puzzled expression, and said, "Mr. Kai, the fire element on you is so strong..."

For some reason, Lillian felt a strong sense of closeness to the young man.

It seems that they belong to the same type of people.

She thought for a moment, then hesitantly reached out her hand.

"Miss Lillian?" Wang Xi couldn't understand what the other person meant, so he couldn't help but ask.

The Fire Witch remained silent.

Seeing this, Wang Xi simply took Lillian's small hand, knelt down on one knee, and performed a knight's hand kiss salute—in a sense, the Fire Witch was also the queen of the Magic Forest, so this was not considered overstepping her bounds.

Lillian's eyelids were lowered, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

The young man seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, which made her look slightly shy.

Bear!
Suddenly, flames burst forth from her body, and her long golden hair and dress also turned to fire.

Bev, Sophia, Godariel, and the others standing nearby were stunned, wondering why Lillian had suddenly revealed her witch battle form.

The flames quickly spread to the young man.

Wang Xi was shocked.

However, he was not burned. He only felt that the magic power in his body was restless and leaking out uncontrollably. So he simply followed the guidance and immediately activated "Lord of Scorched Earth" and "Self-Immolation".

Bear!
His body was engulfed in flames.

Her black hair was dyed like flames, moving without wind; her eyes were blazing red; and a cloak of flames, resembling feathers and clothing, condensed behind her.

The two figures, one standing and one crouching, resembled a fire monarch and queen. Terrifying flames soared into the sky, and the intense magical fluctuations and high-temperature radiation caused everyone to be filled with doubt and retreat repeatedly.

The monsters wailed and ran away in panic, gathering together and whispering amongst themselves, cautiously observing the creatures.

"As expected!" Lillian's face, engulfed in flames, revealed shock. "Mr. Kai, you've also awakened the same magical talent as me!"

Wang Xi was speechless for a moment, finding it difficult to explain the true source of this innate ability.

You can't exactly say that it was taken from her...

He hesitated for a moment, then made up a reason:
"During my journey to the North, I experienced repeated battles in the bitter cold and was also corrupted by the cursed fire of the Northern Shamans... Perhaps it was these extreme experiences that unexpectedly awakened my talent for fire magic."

“Mr. Gai, this is not a good thing.”

Lillian sighed, her tone worried.

She couldn't help but think of her own experiences, and felt a sense of shared sorrow for the young man. She leaned forward slightly and gave him a comforting hug, saying:

"The power of the fire element is too violent and uncontrollable. I'm worried that you... will be devoured by it."

“Miss Lillian,” Wang Xiwen replied. “Thank you for your concern. Actually, I have already become an apprentice of the Ice Queen and am studying ice magic under her guidance.”

"I discovered that the power of the ice element can just right to neutralize the agitation of the fire element. The two complement each other, allowing me to better control this power."

Upon hearing this, Lillian was slightly taken aback.

She was unaware of this matter.

Turning to look at the other two sisters, she saw Bev nod slightly, as if to say that what Kai said was true.

"You've become Isabella's student?"

Lillian frowned slightly.

She and the queen of the snow mountain were at odds.

Whether it's their differing identities and opposing magical elements, the relationship between the two sides is strained.

Lillian was silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. Suddenly, she raised her hand, picked up a match, and a restless flame flickered on it.

“Mr. Kai…” she said softly, gazing at the flame. “Could you please try to extinguish it with ice magic?”

"it is good."

Wang Xi did not refuse.

He had learned about Lillian's past through the description of the "Ignite Yourself" card, so he understood the meaning of her request.

Deep down, the Fire Witch longed to find someone she could entrust her life to—she hoped someone could control the raging fire power within her.

This power is too dangerous; if left unchecked, it will eventually lead to an irreparable disaster.

Wang Xi extinguished the flames on his body and instead activated "King of Winter".

His expression was solemn, and he was giving it his all.

This is no longer the little game it used to be; the match in Lillian's hand exudes a destructive power.

Click...

Wang Xi's entire right arm was covered in ice crystals, and he raised his hand in a loose grip.

A chilling aura burst forth, condensing in mid-air into a giant ice crystal hand that swept across!
呲! !

The massive, icy hand descended, only to be blocked by the distorted, high-temperature airflow, rapidly melting and vaporizing into mist. The flickering flame of a tiny burning match formed a halo of incandescent light.

Wang Xi activated his magic once more.

—"Touch of Eternal Freeze"!
The moment the ice hand melted, it was instantly reshaped into an ice sword. With its penetrating properties enhanced, it was further imbued with the "Strangling Sword Style," advancing relentlessly.

bass!
The ice sword pierced the match, but shattered and vaporized in an instant. Yet, a small portion of the sword still managed to pierce the match's wick.

puff!
The flames died down, leaving only a wisp of smoke!
“Finally…” Lillian was stunned for a moment, then smiled broadly. A burning desire flickered in her eyes as she looked at the young man. “Finally found it!”

She stepped forward, grabbed Wang Xi's arm, and tried to pull him back.

"Miss Lillian, what's going on?"

Wang Xi quickly asked.

“Come on, come back with me,” Lillian said coldly. “I… need you.”

Bev and Sophia exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected that Kai would awaken the same talent as Lillian.

She can even use Isabella's ice magic to control the flames on Lillian's body.

It must be said that meeting Kai was indeed a lucky thing for the witches.

"Lady Lillian!"

Godalier, seeing this, couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stepped forward, grabbing Kai's other arm, gritting her teeth and saying:
"Gai can't go back with you!"
