Burning ashes was impossible.
Even if Chen Yu offered no resistance, the little demon would never bear to burn him to ashes. He was the collaborator that the little demon and Suona had waited for for thousands of years.
Who knew how many more years it would take to burn him.
Even if Chen Yu occasionally annoyed the little demon, she tolerated it.
Besides, Chen Yu’s fire resistance was truly high.
Chen Yu would casually down a bottle or two of lava fruit juice. Over time, Chen Yu’s fire resistance had already surpassed the 500 mark.
How many places in the entire cave had a flame intensity of over 500?
Chen Yu’s current fire resistance was, if not immune, then very close.
Ordinary flames might not be able to cause him much damage.
“Calm down,” Chen Yu grinned, placing the juice in front of the little demon. He then walked behind her, massaged her shoulders, and said softly, “You’ve known me for a while now. What I said was just me messing around. Why are you getting angry when we’re just playing? Have a cold drink to cool off.”
“Hmph!”
The little demon snorted and ignored him.
She had patiently and earnestly advised him, but Chen Yu hadn’t listened at all and had even dozed off in front of her. She knew that this wasn’t something to get furious about. Chen Yu had indeed been in a state of high tension recently, and fatigue was understandable.
Being able to fall asleep also meant he had his own thoughts.
If his mind were blank, he would likely be so scared of the Tiger Tally, this hot potato in his hands, that any slight disturbance would wake him up.
Yet, the little demon just couldn’t control herself.
Sometimes, she wondered if Chen Yu was her nemesis, how he could always pinpoint her breaking point with whatever he said.
If this were in the past, in her Demon King’s Castle.
Anyone who dared to speak to her like that,
She would have been too lazy to say another word. A single glance from her would have her subordinates throw that person into the lava as fertilizer.
“I’ll never run out of things to be angry at with you,” the little demon whispered as she sipped the juice. “So, what are your thoughts now? You obviously can’t stay in the Batu Free Federation anymore.”
The Tiger Tally had been exposed.
Based on their past relationship, Chen Yu believed Su Zhan wouldn’t leak the fact that he possessed the Tiger Tally, but he had to guard against the chief of the Batu Free Federation.
All nations were trying to snatch the Tiger Tally, openly and covertly.
Su Zhan’s suggestion for Chen Yu to offer the Tiger Tally to their chief indicated that their chief was definitely interested in the Tiger Tally, making him one of the contenders.
Regardless of whether the monarch of the Batu Free Federation had locked onto him.
It was imperative to leave this place of turmoil as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if something unexpected happened on their territory, he feared he would have no ability to resist at all.
“I plan to go to the royal city of the Tatu Kingdom tomorrow afternoon,” Chen Yu murmured softly. The little demon frowned slightly. “Why in the afternoon? If it were me, I’d start packing my bags now and leave silently under the cover of night. The afternoon is when there are many people and eyes.”
“It makes no difference.”
Chen Yu shook his head slightly and said softly.
“If the Batu Free Federation has truly locked onto me, then even at night, there will be many people secretly watching me. Leaving at this time would be advantageous to them; they could eliminate me under the cover of darkness, and the Tiger Tally would naturally fall into their hands.”
A dark and windy night, a night for murder!
Without confirming the Batu Free Federation’s attitude towards him, leaving rashly would be the worst decision, even playing right into their hands.
If Chen Yu had strong soldiers and powerful escorts.
Traveling at night would be fine.
The problem was that he was traveling light this time. His escorts were just a few Meteorite Guards and the dead warriors of the Alton family, and in the River Town, there were many experts of various realms.
If they wanted to kill him, he would be unable to resist.
The little demon could also be considered a trump card, but Chen Yu was uncertain about her current strength. Everything was unknown.
Chen Yu could only consider her a miracle that might appear in a time of crisis.
She could not be included in the consideration.
Moreover, if the little demon’s strength could truly overwhelm those experts of various realms in River Town, she likely wouldn’t have hidden herself in the wristwatch at the City Lord’s Mansion of the Tatu Kingdom’s main city.
“Indeed, your consideration is more thorough, but why do you have to leave in the afternoon?” the little demon frowned.
“As you said, that’s when people are most numerous,” Chen Yu said slowly. “If I’m truly exposed, then there will definitely be many eyes secretly watching. Can we then use them to our advantage, as my protective talismans?”
“You mean…”
The moment Chen Yu finished speaking, the little demon’s eyes widened in astonishment.
She understood Chen Yu’s idea.
It was…
“Isn’t that a bit too risky!” the little demon exclaimed softly. Chen Yu remained silent for a moment and shook his head slightly. “Opportunity and danger coexist. We’ve reached this point, so what else is there to worry about?”
“But you can’t do that, can you?”
Seeing the little demon’s face full of worry, Chen Yu sighed dejectedly.
“I have no other choice.”
Chen Yu had considered countless possibilities, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t find a way to survive. Only this method of risking his life might offer a glimmer of hope.
Rather than dying slowly, it was better to gamble hard.
“I’ve always felt very lucky. Look at the white dragon jade pendant I wear, and the lucky set I wear. With such high luck value bonuses, the goddess of luck should be on my side,” Chen Yu said, gently holding the white dragon jade pendant with a smile in his eyes. “Of course, if I’m really unlucky…”
Before Chen Yu could finish, the little demon’s hand directly covered his lips.
“I forbid you from speaking such disheartening words, Chen Yu. I believe in you, and the goddess of luck will definitely be on your side. Ever since I decided to join forces with you, I have never doubted any of your decisions. Your plan this time will surely succeed, and there will be no problems. How about we make a bet? I’ll bet on you losing.”
Seeing the little demon’s serious eyes, Chen Yu’s face also showed a smile as he pinched her cheek.
“Thanks.”
“With your bet, I feel more at ease,” Chen Yu grinned and said. “Besides, Fuhua Alton also sent me an invitation to meet him tomorrow morning. Judging by the time, it will be around afternoon when I depart.”
“Fuhua Alton contacted you? Where did he go after disappearing for so long?”
“Who knows?”
Chen Yu shrugged slightly, completely unaware of this.
“Shouldn’t this be told to Roni? Wasn’t she always worried about Fuhua Alton’s situation?” the little demon whispered. Chen Yu looked out the window. “No need. Fuhua Alton will contact Roni. Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something I forgot to tell you.”
“What?”
“You were right. Feikui, that kid, seems to have ties with the demon race. And… it’s the demon kingdom you mentioned.”
