Nothing much happened along the way, and there was no fire caused by the Fire Demon. The people in the vehicle chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at a Waystation outside Maple Town, which was not within Maple Town itself but at the center of several nearby towns, with roads leading to each of them.
Ling Mo Xie got off the vehicle nonchalantly, and the little imp known as Fire Demon, who was being called by the Common People, clung to Yuyao's thigh and got off with him.
After walking a short distance, Ling Mo Xie looked around and, seeing no one, picked up the little imp, flicked its forehead, and said, "Speak! You are a Fire Spirit, right? You shouldn't be human. What kind of existence are you? Why are you following me?"
The little imp timidly looked up at Ling Mo Xie and then lowered its head, saying, "I am a human!"
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback. Hey! This guy actually dared to lie to him? He put the little imp down, rested his hands behind his head, and started walking toward Maple Town, speaking in a flat tone, "Alright! Fire Spirit, go back where you came from! Don't go burning people's vehicles."
The Fire Spirit paused for a moment, then ran a few steps forward to follow Ling Mo Xie, saying angrily, "I really am a human! I really am!"
"Whoosh!" Almost instantly, a ball of crimson flames surrounded Ling Mo Xie. His Health Bar began to decrease continuously. Perhaps because this Fire Spirit was still young, the Health Points didn't drop too drastically. However, Ling Mo Xie's clothes suffered greatly and turned to ashes.
"Ha ha ha!" Laughter rang out as Ling Mo Xie furiously grabbed the Fire Spirit and turned to look in the direction of the laughter. There he saw a fiery red figure by a tree beside the road, holding a glimmering silver object in hand—Sun Xiaoxiao, who had blocked him in front of Ling Mansion.
Ling Mo Xie's face flushed; he was currently wearing nothing since his clothes had been burned to ashes by the Fire Spirit.
So he hugged the Fire Spirit in front of him and said to Sun Xiaoxiao, "Y-You! How shameless can you be to laugh?"
Sun Xiaoxiao snorted coldly; this guy had teased her in front of Ling Mansion before, and now it was time for revenge!
With a playful tone, she said, "Who is truly shameless here? On the main road like this—are you planning to run naked?" She even made a puzzled expression.
"I'm sorry!" The Fire Spirit hugged by Ling Mo Xie lowered its head and spoke softly.
It hadn't meant to burn Ling Mo Xie; it just lost control of its power out of anger.
Ling Mo Xie rolled his eyes. He really seemed to have a grudge against anything red. From now on, whenever he saw something red, he would definitely take a detour!
The Fire Spirit has red hair and red eyes, and Sun Xiaoxiao is also dressed in red. Encountering both of them is truly a series of misfortunes!
"What are you doing here?" Ling Mo Xie decided to let go of his worries since he had already been seen. He wasn't a woman, so he took his time, putting down the Fire Spirit and taking out a set of white robes from his Storage Ring. While leisurely dressing, he asked Sun Xiaoxiao.
"Ah!" To Ling Mo Xie's surprise, Sun Xiaoxiao screamed, and the spear in her hand drew a perfect arc in the air as she thrust it toward him.
"Ah! What are you doing?!" Caught off guard, Ling Mo Xie hurriedly picked up the Fire Spirit and jumped away from where he had been standing.
Sun Xiaoxiao covered her eyes, "This is something I should be asking you! What are you doing?"
"Oh? Is that so?" Ling Mo Xie was taken aback, then a smile crept onto his face. "Well, what do you think I'm doing? Getting dressed, of course. Don't you want me to get dressed? Or do you want to enjoy the view a bit longer? Hmm? I'm very generous, you know!"
"Go to hell!" Sun Xiaoxiao snapped off a branch with a crack and shot it toward Ling Mo Xie like a spear. With a flick of her hand, the spear she had thrown earlier returned to her grasp as she jumped away.
Her voice echoed in the air: "Perverted scoundrel, just wait! As long as you don't agree to my challenge, I'll keep coming back!"
Ling Mo Xie was stunned; this girl was truly unreasonable. He quickly finished putting on his clothes.
What Ling Mo Xie didn't know was that because he had defeated Tian Wuxin, who had previously been preparing to challenge Sun Xiaoxiao, he had inadvertently stirred up trouble.
Ling Mo Xie did not challenge Sun Xiaoxiao, and rumors among the common people circulated that Sun Xiaoxiao, ranked Top of the Earth Ranking, was merely riding on empty fame because Ling Mo Xie had yet to challenge her.
"Kid, you say you're human? But that power is not something an ordinary human without cultivation should possess!" Ignoring the already departed Sun Xiaoxiao, Ling Mo Xie asked the Fire Spirit.
The System's Detection Skill could not be wrong; this child was indeed the Fire Spirit. But why did he insist on saying he was human?
"I-I am human! The flames appear on their own when I get angry. That's how my family perished," said the Fire Spirit, looking down and twisting the hem of his clothes.
Ling Mo Xie paused for a moment and patted the Fire Spirit on the head. "Alright, that's all in the past. Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
"Well, the power of this flame appeared a few days ago because I played with the neighbor's child until late, and my dad beat me up. Of course, I was angry, and then, then the whole town was gone." The Fire Spirit lowered its head, tears welling in its eyes.
Ling Mo Xie stroked his chin; the legend of the Fire Demon began with a small town.
"Then why do you keep burning Carriages now? It's not easy for people to earn a living, and at such a young age, you've killed quite a few!" Ling Mo Xie asked the Fire Spirit, looking down at it.
"No! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone!" The Fire Spirit shook its head, its emotions starting to become unstable.
Ling Mo Xie quickly squatted down, patted its head gently, and said softly, "Alright, alright! It's not your fault; you can't control it!"
"Woo!" The Fire Spirit fled into Ling Mo Xie's arms, sobbing as it said, "The town is gone; I don't know where to go. I secretly hid on the Carriage and wandered around, but why did they have to make me angry? Why?"
Ling Mo Xie lowered his head and rubbed the Fire Spirit's bright red messy hair, thinking that if what it said was true, it was indeed a pitiful child. Uncontrolled harm to innocent people would hurt his heart too.
"Where are you going now?" Ling Mo Xie picked up the Fire Spirit and walked towards Maple Town while asking the Fire Spirit resting on his shoulder.
"Wherever you go, I'll go," the Fire Spirit said listlessly, probably tired from crying.
What? Ling Mo Xie held the Fire Spirit in front of him, facing himself. It seemed like it wanted to cling to him. He glared at the Fire Spirit in frustration; he had no intention of taking care of a troublesome child. In the end, he had to say softly, "You must have other relatives. How about I take you to them?"
