Chapter 391: Chapter 390: A Fire in the Mountains, Sha Fei Falls in Love with Me

Unfortunately, beyond that, there was no more information about the Elder Council on the Star Network, which left Lu Zixun feeling a bit disappointed.

Having instructed Ling to keep a close eye on the Elder Council’s information, Lu Zixun was ready to start gaming again.

With the Demon Country back on track, Lu Zixun could finally lead a laid-back life.

Night fell, sweeping over the entire Crimson Land.

"Young master, let’s head back tomorrow. It’s still quite unsafe in Zone 13."

Not far from the borders of the Demon Country, a fire lit up the forest, exceptionally bright in the darkness.

"Right, just like that, damn it, how can you be such an idiot?"

While coaching Ge Changming in gaming, Lu Zixun exploded in anger when he saw that Ge Changming couldn’t even pass the first level. He raised his paw and patted Ge Changming on the head.

"Brother Xun, this game you mentioned, it doesn’t make sense."

With a gloomy face, feeling wronged, Ge Changming looked down and said, "Why do you need three of the same to eliminate? Why can’t two of the same work?"

Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s face was full of black lines.

Indeed, Ge Changming, always running to the construction site, had perfected the art of nitpicking.

Lu Zixun suspected that this guy wasn’t just a tease but a genuine nitpicker.

"Enough, get lost."

Snatching the tablet from Ge Changming’s hands, Lu Zixun kicked him in the butt.

Ge Changming, nearly stumbling and falling to the ground, glanced back at Lu Zixun with a look of resentment and left the room, heartbroken.

"Lord Xun, flames and thick smoke have appeared in the southern part of the Demon Country, possibly a forest fire."

About to beat level 357, Lu Zixun waved his paw impatiently, "Who cares about a forest fire, wait? A forest fire?!"

Jumping up from the bed, Lu Zixun summoned the Night Evil Sword and smashed through the glass to rush towards the south.

Damn it, aside from the Spiritual Pattern Tree, there were no other flammable trees in the Demon Country.

The problem was, there were no inhabitants in the south, and it hadn’t rained today either; where did this fire come from?

Feeling that someone was intentionally doing this, Lu Zixun’s face grew cold; they better not let him catch them or they’d be dead!

When he reached the southern part, the flames had already engulfed half of the mountainside, darkening Lu Zixun’s face even further.

Spiritual Energy surged out, creating a vortex around him that sucked in the burning flames.

Looking at the half-burnt mountainside, Lu Zixun felt a pain in his heart. This was all Crimson Coin going to waste.

His Spiritual Energy covered the entire forest, and upon detecting two life forms, Lu Zixun immediately froze them into ice sculptures.

The subsequent arrival of Ge Changming was more dramatic as he bellowed, "It was that bastard’s doing. My Crimson Coins!"

"You weren’t vigilant enough; you’re not allowed to eat tomorrow!"

Hearing this outcry, an even more irritated Lu Zixun roared.

"Ah... ah? Ah!"

Stunned for a moment, Ge Changming, realizing that Lu Zixun was serious, howled even more heartbrokenly.

Looking at the old person and child encased in ice, both showing traces of black flame on their faces, Lu Zixun’s whiskers twitched.

This did not look like someone trying to flee after committing arson, but more like they were knocked unconscious by the thick smoke.

Touching one of the ice sculptures, the older person that seemed to be harder hit dropped hard onto the ground due to pain and upon waking up, immediately exclaimed, "Run, young master!"

"?"

Curling the corner of his mouth, Lu Zixun licked his paw, and the Ice Chain wrapped around them.

"Ding—Horror Value detected from Zheng Mingyang +1000."

Zheng Mingyang looked up and saw a cat staring intently at him.

He looked around and realized that they were in a room.

Knowing they had been rescued, he exhaled a breath of stale air, calming his emotions.

His gaze shifted towards the door, and Zheng Mingyang called out, "Is anyone there?"

Ge Changming, who had pushed open the door, glanced at Lu Zixun automatically.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, he immediately understood Lu Zixun’s intention.

Clearing his throat, Ge Changming’s gaze turned cold, "Who are you, and why did you deliberately start a fire? Haven’t you heard the saying, ’A fire on the mountain, Sha Fei falls in love with me?’"

The corner of Lu Zixun’s mouth twitched as he suppressed a laugh and glanced at Ge Changming.

This guy must have been a silly bird in his past life; I wonder if the Demon Clan has such a species, it would be entertaining if they did.

"I..."

Ashamed, Zheng Mingyang lowered his head and sighed, "I accidentally fell asleep and forgot to put out the campfire."

Turning his head to look at Xing Miluo still in the ice sculpture, Zheng Mingyang sighed, "Sir, could you please release my young master? The child is still young and cannot endure the cold."

Initially thinking the Zhenfei had intentionally sent someone to burn the Spiritual Pattern Tree, it turned out to be merely an accident.

After a moment of consideration, Lu Zixun raised his hand and touched the ice coffin.

Xing Miluo fell out of the ice coffin.

Just as Zheng Mingyang reached out to catch him, he found himself locked by the Ice Chain, tumbling forward and landing on the ground, serving as a cushion for Xing Miluo.

Noticing this, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow; this man must be some sort of caretaker.

Xing Family?

Lu Zixun wondered why he had never heard of this family.

Ge Changming stepped forward to help Zheng Mingyang up.

After seeing the grateful look in Zheng Mingyang’s eyes, Ge Changming spoke indifferently, "Don’t look at me with those eyes. Business is business; you’ve destroyed tens of thousands of Spiritual Pattern Trees. How do you plan to compensate?"

Internally, he gave Ge Changming a thumbs up; when it came to extortion, probably no one was better than Ge Changming.

The fire had only destroyed a few hundred trees due to Lu Zixun’s timely arrival, but in Ge Changming’s mouth, that became tens of thousands.

"This..."

Feeling the touch of the Ice Chain, Zheng Mingyang was somewhat confused, "Aren’t Spiritual Pattern Trees the least valuable ones? We’ll compensate at the market rate."

"?"

A question mark appeared on his face.

Ge Changming smiled at Zheng Mingyang, "To us, another name for the Spiritual Pattern Tree is—’a non-moving Crimson Coin machine.’"

Hearing this, Zheng Mingyang’s expression changed, and he tentatively asked, "This isn’t Zone 12?"

"Of course... it’s not."

Pausing for a moment, Ge Changming’s smile brightened by three degrees, "Welcome to Zone 13."

"Click."

Feeling like a bolt of lightning had struck his heart, Zheng Mingyang stepped back, sat down on a chair, and felt utterly baffled.

"Now that you understand the situation, compensation for tens of thousands of Spiritual Pattern Trees; would you like to pay now, or should we contact your family for payment? If you cannot pay, we also have mines where you can work off the debt."

He shook his head.

The ruthless businessman had started his performance.

Having a bit of conscience, Lu Zixun decided to step outside for a breath of fresh air, but halfway through, his tail was caught.
