Chapter 1071
Subduing the Flame Queen
Lingling, blushing, straddled Fu Ye's neck, her fair legs clamping tightly around his neck. It was clear she was really trying her best to unleash her "deadly scissor kick."
In the original novel, Mo Fan hesitated when he saw this cliff, but Fu Ye thought it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
"Keep your legs tight, or I won't be able to catch you if you fall."
Hearing Fu Ye's continued frivolous remarks, Lingling was so angry that she couldn't think straight.
"Hey! Is it really okay for you to keep saying things that could easily mislead little girls?!"
"Hmm? Are you a little girl?"
"Oh, this."
"That solves it."
Fu Ye knows Lingling all too well. She has the body of a little girl but the heart of a mature woman. She understands all the principles and has followed the Cold Hunter King on missions to hunt down demons since she was a child.
However, it is precisely because of her overly mature personality that she is out of step with people her age.
With a piercing scream, Fu Ye leaped to the top of the cliff where Yan Ji lived.
When Lingling opened her big eyes and saw the scene in front of her, her little mouth opened wide.
It's clear that she was quite surprised by the environment in which Yan Ji lived.
This was a mountaintop covered with bright red maple leaves, and Fu Ye led Lingling into it.
At the center of the mountaintop stood a graceful figure in fiery red, seemingly surprised by Fu Ye and Lingling's arrival.
As Fu Ye approached with Lingling, the crimson figure quietly rose from beneath the massive tree.
Seeing the other person stand up, Lingling subconsciously sensed a dangerous aura.
Fu Ye didn't pay much attention to this "Flame Queen," as he knew very well that she wouldn't attack him casually.
"Lingling, do you know the origin of this tree? To be precise, the fire elemental spirit Yan Ji in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan was able to successfully condense her spirit form thanks to this tree."
Fu Ye's words successfully touched on Lingling's blind spot, and she quickly forgot about the Flame Queen getting up in front of her.
Upon hearing Fu Ye's words, a rare hint of doubt appeared in the Flame Queen's usually empty eyes.
Seeing this, Fu Ye did not continue forward, but stood still and explained to them.
"This tree is called the Starry Sky Tree. It can also be considered a branch/subspecies of the 'Oath Tree' and the 'Heavenly Crown Purple Tilia Tree,' but the most accurate name is the 'Starry Sky Tree.'"
"This tree's inherent attribute is the purest life force. However, because the element in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan is fire-oriented, it transformed into the so-called Star Language Tree after absorbing thousands of years of fire energy."
Upon hearing Fu Ye's explanation, a glint of light flashed in Lingling's eyes.
"So, this tree didn't originally belong to the northern corner of Zhuoyuan?"
Lingling seemed to have grasped something important.
"That's right, but it was just very unlucky. It was already seriously injured before it came here, and staying here was just a last resort."
"Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, the transformation of this divine tree into the Star Language Tree was actually a process of its own transformation. In other words, the first-generation Flame Princess was a fire elemental spirit that emerged from the tree spirit's body in order to survive."
At this point, Fu Ye's tone became somewhat regretful. "It's a pity that the life energy contained within this Star Language Tree is about to be exhausted. Presumably, with the birth of this generation of Flame Princess, the fire elemental spirit Flame Princess of the North Corner of Scorching Plains will become a thing of the past."
Hearing Fu Ye's words, Lingling felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Upon hearing their origins, the Flame Queen before them showed less hostility in her gaze towards Fu Ye and Lingling.
Seeing this, Fu Ye led Lingling directly towards the Star Language Tree in the center.
Seeing this, Yan Ji was extremely nervous. It was clear that she did not want to hurt Fu Ye and Ling Ling, but she was also afraid that the two of them would ruin the birth of little Yan Ji.
"You don't need to be afraid. My purpose in coming here is to form a contract between you and the little Flame Princess who is being nurtured in the Star Language Tree. Moreover, if you are willing, I can also let you see my daughter, Chen Ying."
As Fu Ye finished speaking, Yan Ji froze on the spot, while Ling Ling looked as if she had seen a ghost.
It was clear that she had no idea Fu Ye would utter such "outrageous" remarks.
What does it mean to let the Flame Princess in front of you see your daughter?
Could it be that a fire elemental spirit like Flame Princess can have children with a human?!
Fu Ye's words were tantamount to dropping a nuclear bomb into Lingling's worldview.
It directly smoothed out the wrinkles in her brain.
But most importantly, when Lingling looked at Yan Ji's expression, she noticed that the other woman seemed to be a little excited.
"Ripples of the soul".
As Fu Ye used his mind-based abilities to connect the inner worlds of Yan Ji and Ling Ling.
Lingling discovered that she could hear a girl's excited voice coming from her mind.
"You know who I am, you know who my daughter is. Take me to see Xiaoying now!"
Yan Ji, who had been standing still, rushed directly in front of Fu Ye, letting out a series of soft whimpering sounds.
Lingling was certain that if she couldn't hear the inner thoughts of the Flame Princess in front of her, she would definitely think that the other party wanted to attack her and Fu Ye.
"Don't worry, your daughter Chenying is perfectly safe now. It's just that the wanted criminal who killed you is now wrapped in bandages and using your identity to play the role of the mother in the Zhao family."
"Moreover, she is now instigating your daughter to pierce your heart with a specially made ice dagger and steal the Fire Calamity Fruit that nurtured the Flame Princess from your hands."
Upon hearing Fu Ye's words, Yan Ji became even more agitated.
"No, I have to stop her, I have to protect her."
Seeing her like this, Fu Ye directly took out a golden contract.
Unlike Qin Yu'er's contract, Yan Ji's contract was a completely one-sided and domineering clause.
"Sign a contract with me, and I'll take you back to see your daughter. Later, I can bring her into my fold."
"Of course, you can choose to refuse, but if you do, I will take the Fire Calamity Fruit directly. You should be able to sense that you are no match for me."
Upon hearing Fu Ye's words, Yan Ji hesitated slightly as she looked at him.
Seeing this, Lingling glanced at Fu Ye speechlessly, but she didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
After all, being subdued by Fu Ye is better than wandering the world. Although Yan Ji's strength has reached the monarch level, there are still many people within the Divine Continent capable of killing her. (End of Chapter)
