Feng Dingchu had rescued Huzizi.
When the great fire broke out, Huzizi was still asleep. Now, the young lad was completely blackened by the thick smoke.
But fortunately, he wasn't burned.
Following the traces left on the ground, Feng Dingchu quickly found the cave in the back mountain.
However, just as he was about to approach, he felt something was wrong beneath his feet.
What had he stepped on?
"Young Master, Young Master, don't move!" Granny Sun, with her sharp eyes, spotted the figure in the distance, blackened to a grayish-white by the smoke.
"It... it will explode..."
This was what Miss A'li had said. They didn't quite understand what "explode" meant, as they had never seen it with their own eyes.
But if Miss A'li said it would explode, then it would surely explode. They believed in Miss A'li.
Feng Dingchu looked down. Huzizi beside him was already crying his eyes out.
He had stepped on it, and it hadn't exploded yet. Does it mean it will explode if he moves his foot?
A thunderclap bomb?
He glanced at Huzizi and said, "Don't cry."
Huzizi was still sobbing, but Young Master A'chu's voice was like magic, incredibly comforting.
Huzizi stopped crying, only looking at him, his eyes still filled with terror.
Feng Dingchu took a deep breath and suddenly pulled Huzizi up.
At that very moment, two figures leaped into the air, their speed so great it was as if they were flying with a rope pulling them through the sky.
Young Master A'chu's Qinggong stunned all the villagers.
It was something only an immortal could achieve.
But they had no time to marvel.
Then, with a "boom," a massive explosion erupted, and flames soared into the sky in an instant.
"Ah!"
"Ah ah..."
"Ah—"
The women screamed, instinctively covering their heads and crouching down.
Even the men cried out in terror, scattering and hiding everywhere.
However, the explosion was some distance away from the cave, so although the blast was powerful, it didn't affect this area.
When everyone opened their eyes again, they saw a tall, slender figure standing at the entrance of the cave.
His hair was curled from the great fire, and his face was smudged with black dirt from the thick smoke, but his elegant demeanor remained undiminished.
Looking at him now, there was even a hint of wildness that was absent in his usual quiet self.
It wasn't just the girls who were captivated; even the men couldn't help but steal glances.
Such a peerlessly handsome man should only exist in heaven, rarely seen on earth.
"Where is Little Li'er?" Feng Dingchu placed Huzizi on the ground, and Huzizi immediately pounced into Granny Sun's arms, trembling and crying.
Granny Sun said hoarsely, "The young lady said she was going to lure away those... those medicine people..."
"Where did she go?" Feng Dingchu asked urgently.
The village chief pointed to the other side of the mountain, the way back to the village.
But Feng Dingchu had just come from that direction and hadn't encountered any medicine people along the way.
Could it be that Little Li'er had led them elsewhere?
Feng Dingchu turned to leave.
The girls screamed, "Young Master A'chu, it's going to explode... the cave entrance will explode!"
Everyone had witnessed the power of that explosive device just now.
If they weren't quick enough to evade, they would surely be blown to smithereens.
Feng Dingchu leaped into the air and, in the blink of an eye, had traveled a considerable distance.
The villagers breathed a sigh of relief. Young Master A'chu's Qinggong was truly incredibly formidable.
But why hadn't he seen Miss A'li on his way back?
Could it be that Miss A'li... had met with an accident?
