Tragic death in the previous life: After rebirth, the sickly prince pampers her every night

Chapter 2762 Xiaoman (Red Fire Purgatory)

Hu Xiaoman turned around excitedly, like a happy little bird, and said to Qi Yan: "Let's go, let's go to our destination."

Qi Yan nodded with a smile, stretched out his long arm, embraced Hu Xiaoman in his arms, tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and turned into a stream of red light and disappeared on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Chu Qingye immediately chased after him on his sword.

"Hu Xiaoman!"

However, Qi Yan was very fast and in a flash he left Chu Qingye far behind.

Chu Ran was so angry that he stamped his feet. He poured out another pill from the medicine bottle and swallowed it. He forced himself to fly on the sword and catch up with Chu Qingye.

Qi Yan held Hu Xiaoman's waist tightly and flew at high speed in the misty sky.

The wind whistled in her ears, and she said with some complaint: "Qi Yan, can't you turn back into a fire Qilin?"

"Riding on the back of the Fire Qilin, how majestic it is!"

Qi Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at Hu Xiaoman, his tone lazy but with a hint of teasing.

"I don't want to transform into a fire unicorn in front of the person you love."

"Now like this, with my arms around your waist, wouldn't that make him give up completely?"

Qi Yan's voice was like a spring breeze carrying the scent of flowers, with a hint of smile in it.

However, deep in his ruby-like eyes, there was a barely perceptible coldness.

When Hu Xiaoman heard this, he rolled his eyes fiercely.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Chu Qingye is a heartless man. He has never shown any affection towards me."

"What do you mean by giving up? He is simply a heartless person!"

"Ah, it's strange to say, when I first saw Chu Qingye, my heart was moved for no reason. That love seemed to burst out from the depths of my soul."

"I have been pampered since I was young. Everyone has taken good care of me, but he has hurt my heart time and time again. However, I have been obsessed with him and have always spoiled him."

"He clearly knew that it was Chu Ran who set up the vicious plan and caused me to fall off the Soul-Breaking Cliff, but..."

Sadness spread across Hu Xiaoman's delicate face like a tide, and anger burned in her eyes.

"He actually came with Chu Ran to look for me."

"Just now I saw how intimate they were, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

"So angry!"

Qi Yan chuckled, with a hint of cunning: "So, isn't it wonderful to hold your waist like this?"

"Okay, don't be angry anymore, you still have me."

Hu Xiaoman pursed her beautiful lips.

"Qi Yan, as a man, if you are not my divine beast, how is your behavior different from that scoundrel?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan raised his head and laughed heartily, saying proudly, "You should be thankful that I am resourceful and can become your divine beast to protect you."

The two of them chatted happily while flying at high speed like meteors.

After a while, Qi Yan's speed gradually slowed down.

Hu Xiaoman was keenly aware of the sudden changes in the surrounding environment.

Originally, the bottom of the Cliff of Broken Souls was full of vitality, with green trees and gurgling streams, like a paradise.

But at this moment, what comes into view is a desolate scene. There is no trace of trees, and no sound of flowing water.

The hot air waves hit my face, as if I was in a huge steamer.

Fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on Hu Xiaoman's smooth forehead.

As Qi Yan landed steadily on the ground, Hu Xiaoman's eyes widened, and he was shocked by the scene before him.

All you can see is a vast expanse of yellow earth. The dry ground is cracked with hideous cracks, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast.

The rolling heat waves, carrying dust, rushed towards them like a surging wave, as if to swallow them up completely.

"Qi Yan, where exactly is this?" Hu Xiaoman frowned.

Qi Yan put away his usual smile, his expression became solemn, and he crossed his arms across his chest: "This is the Red Fire Purgatory."

When Hu Xiaoman heard this, his eyes were full of confusion.

"Red Fire Purgatory?"

"Weren't we still at the bottom of the Cliff of Broken Souls just now?"

"How did we get here in the blink of an eye?"

Qi Yan explained: "The westernmost side of the bottom of the Soul-Breaking Cliff is adjacent to the Red Fire Purgatory."

"Then why did you bring me here?" Hu Xiaoman asked.

Qi Yan did not answer immediately, but waved his hand, and powerful spiritual power surged out of his body like a volcanic eruption.

In an instant, the yellow earth in front shook violently, making a deafening roar.

A huge crack appeared in the ground, and the crack became wider and deeper, with no bottom in sight.

Then, an ancient stone tablet slowly rose from the crack.

The surface of the stone tablet was engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a strange light in the hot air.

When everything returned to calm, Qi Yan looked at Hu Xiaoman with deep eyes and said slowly.

"You have done a lot of research on the talismans of ancient mythical beasts, so you must be familiar with these ancient spells."

"This stone tablet contains a powerful taboo. Once it is broken, we will be able to enter the Red Fire Purgatory."

Hu Xiaoman then turned his gaze to the stone tablet, and saw that it was completely black, as if it had been stained with ink.

The golden talismans on the stele are densely packed, like countless golden little snakes swimming.

Although Hu Xiaoman could not fully understand these talismans, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

She reached out and tugged at Qi Yan's sleeve, her voice soft and sticky: "If we break the taboo on this stone tablet, can we really enter the Red Fire Purgatory?"

Qi Yan nodded.

"But why should we risk entering the Red Fire Purgatory?"

"Could it be that the flames inside are of great benefit to you as a Fire Qilin?"

Hu Xiaoman tilted his head, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

Qi Yan's ruby-like eyes stared at Hu Xiaoman, and his expression became more serious.

"Legend has it that in the Red Fire Purgatory, there is a Red Flame Spirit Crystal, guarded by a powerful fire spirit."

"The fire of the Red Fire Purgatory can give birth to a fire spirit, and the fire spirit has the power to purify all things and can burn away the evil spirit in your heart."

"Of course, this is just my speculation."

Qi Yan's gaze moved away from Hu Xiaoman's face and fell on the black stone tablet again, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

“Perhaps I was born in this red fire purgatory.”

"The fire on my body is very similar to the aura here."

“Every time I come here, I feel an indescribable sense of intimacy.”

"However, I don't know who sealed the Scarlet Fire Purgatory. For ten thousand years, I have tried to break these ancient spells, but I have never succeeded."

"Hu Xiaoman, my fate is now linked to yours, and my power is also related to your safety."

"How about you figure out a way to break this restriction?"

Hu Xiaoman blinked. Since he met Qi Yan, he had never seen him look so serious.

She said in a sweet voice: "Qi Yan, since you said this is the Red Fire Purgatory, then besides the Red Flame Spirit Crystal and Fire Spirit, there must be many other dangers."

"If I rashly break the restriction and let the red flames burst out, the consequences will be disastrous..."
