“Oh, alright then!” Zheng En nodded helplessly and then lit the pill furnace.

“It’s actually a divine flame!” Old Zao’s eyes widened in jealousy as he looked at the red and purple flame. Boohoo… I want a divine flame too!

Leng Ruoxue looked at her future subordinate with satisfaction. People who possessed a natal divine flame were considered rare. She didn’t expect to meet one. Haha! Great!

Leng Ruoxue saw that the other party had already lit the pill furnace, and a small flame lit on her fingertips. As soon as this small flame appeared, the people originally surrounding her immediately jumped away and looked at her with fear on their faces. Zheng En, who was taking out herbs from his ring, also looked at her in disbelief…

“What are you doing?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement. What’s with their gazes?

“Lass, do you want to grill us alive?” Old Zao was a little speechless. This girl’s flame temperature actually rose again…

“Xue’er, we can’t stand the temperature of your flame,” Leng Qingtian explained.

“Uh!” Leng Ruoxue was speechless. Is the temperature of this flame really that high? Why don’t I feel it?

“Freak, is the temperature of this flame very high?” Leng Ruoxue turned her head and asked Freak, the only one who didn’t leave her side.

“It’s alright,” Freak said ingratiatingly. His words attracted several disdainful gazes.

“You’re the best,” Leng Ruoxue praised while caressing Freak’s head like she was petting a puppy.

“Yes, of course.” Freak was so proud! Hehe, Xue’er praised me again!

“W-what kind of flame is this?” Zheng En couldn’t help asking when he returned to his senses. This flame could actually make his natal divine flame feel fear. How was this possible? This was too unbelievable. His flame was a rare divine flame!

“It’s considered a divine flame!” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently. In fact, she didn’t know what her current flame was! In short, the pills or equipment refined by her current flame were definitely better quality than before.

“…” Zheng En was speechless. What do you mean by that?

“Are we still going to compete? Let’s begin quickly!” Leng Ruoxue urged. She was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep.

“What’s there to compete about now? I admit defeat,” Zheng En said helplessly. The level of this woman’s flame was higher than his and completely suppressed his flame. So even if he competed, he would definitely lose. What was there to compete about now?

“Brat, at least you know your place. Fighting with this girl is just courting death!” Old Zao patted Zheng En’s shoulder.

“Yes, that’s right. Her flame suppressed my flame. I absolutely can’t exert my best strength.” Zheng En nodded in agreement.

“Can my flame suppress your flame?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. She had never competed with anyone else other than during the Academy Competition, so she didn’t know that her flame could actually suppress other flames.

“Of course. I can feel fear from my natal flame.” Zheng En nodded.

“But my flame didn’t seem to suppress the other flames during the Academy Competition?” Leng Ruoxue asked doubtfully and turned to Old Zao.

“Lass, don’t look at me! You know your own flame best,” Old Zao said hurriedly. Divine flames might not be able to suppress other flames too much, but this girl’s flame was probably not a divine flame anymore. So it was normal for it to suppress other flames.

Is it because of evolution? Leng Ruoxue pondered. Immediately after, she seemed to feel the emotions transmitted by her natal flame. It seemed to be saying that she was right…

“Lass, you should try to compete less with others in the future!” Old Zao continued. Alas! Anyone who dared to compete with this girl was courting death!

“Okay, I’ll handle the competitions in your place from now on.” Zheng En nodded vigorously.

Then Zheng En suddenly knelt on one knee and swore very seriously, “I, Zheng En, am willing to acknowledge…”

Zheng En glanced at Leng Ruoxue, depressed. He actually forgot to ask for this ugly woman’s name! Boohoo…

“Leng Ruoxue!” Leng Ruoxue said.

“Oh!”

“I, Zheng En, am willing to acknowledge Leng Ruoxue as my master. I will always be loyal and will never betray her!” Zheng En swore to the heavens. Then the contract array descended, and the contract was formally established.

Leng Ruoxue felt the mental connection between her and Zheng En and nodded with satisfaction. Oh! This Zheng En is quite tactful! He knows to establish a contract to show his loyalty! But what she didn’t expect even more was that Zheng En was actually a Mystic Monarch!

“Zheng En, where is your bandit lair?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.

“Uh! Miss, it’s not far from here,” Zheng En answered respectfully as two drops of cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Alas! He knew what his master wanted to do even without guessing!

“Bring us there!” Leng Ruoxue said calmly. Since they wanted to rob them, they had to be prepared to be robbed. Anyway, all the bandits were dead, and the bandit leader had become her subordinate. The wealth they had painstakingly robbed for so many years shouldn’t be left for others to take advantage of, so she would keep it for them.

“Yes, Miss,” Zheng En said.

Leng Ruoxue sent the beasts into the bracelet, and everyone packed their things simply. Then Zheng En led the way to the bandit lair.

About twenty minutes later, Zheng En led Leng Ruoxue and the others to a residential house.

“Zheng En, we didn’t come to the wrong place, did we?” Leng Ruoxue was speechless as she looked at the tall and grand mansion in front of her. Why were bandits living so well? No wonder even mystics went to be bandits.

“Miss, this is the right place,” Zheng En said with certainty. Uh! He also knew that this place was not very convincing, but this was really the bandit lair!

“Let’s go in and take a look!” Leng Ruoxue pushed open the door and walked straight in.
