Little Song Bird Is Pregnant - Chapter 104 - Fire Spirit
Chapter 104 – Fire Spirit
Wren laid there a bit, trying to get a comfortable spot to sleep.
The participants had gathered together trying to come up with a plan to overcome their obstacles.
Their mumbling was getting annoying, and the ground was too cold. Considering it was all ice, of course, it was cold.
As a fire spiritual cultivator, he really felt like he was out of his element.
Especially when there was a pool of water under his body.
The heat of his spiritual energy was totally melting it.
Sighing he sat up. The back of his shirt was sticking to his back.
"Wren~ did you wet yourself, hehe." Camilla giggled weirdly.
He gave her a dull look. "I need to change."
The cavern ran deep inside the mountain.
To move away from prying eyes, he moved to the darkness of the cave. The ice serpent's skeleton was long, and it went deep into the cave. It did not obstruct the path, though.
Camilla silently followed after her.
"I'm going to change can you understand what I'm implying?"
"yes~ but I would like to look at that great ripped body,"
Wren just gave her a look again. Sometimes this girl made him speechless and his mate furious.
Feng, who was inside of his shirt, started kicking and throwing a fuss again.
"No, if you look I might have to dig your eyes out. My body is only for my mate to look at," he curtly said and walked into the darkness.
"Don't go too far in. It's dangerous… who knows, some serpent might come and take a chomp on you. I need your valuable sperm Wren!" she happily shouted and waved at him.
The footstep did not follow after him.
He went into a corner and swiftly changed his shirt and pants. As he as doing so he felt a warm breeze from inside the cave.
He immediately drew his weapon.
A warm breeze inside a cold icy mountain top did not necessarily mean a good thing.
He first checked on Feng. His mate was safe and tucked in his new shirt.
Only after that did he proceed into the darkness. His eyes adjusted very quickly. As an aquatic beast, he was used to being in the darkness at the bottom of the river and the sea was always dark.
The inside of the cave was very simple. The walls were neatly cut as if someone had chiseled it out.
This was not a simple cave… it was definitely cut or melted out by a human or a cultivator using a device.
Wren vigilantly moved in.
The breeze was getting much warmer. And there was a small light at the end of the path.
"What might that be?"
Feng curiously looked out. "Don't know.. I don't feel anything from it,"
The more he walked in he got the warmer it felt. The clothes he was wearing started to heavy with sweat. He removed the bulky coats and scarves
Inside there was a huge beam of light.
There was a huge hole here. An actual hole that ran so deep into the mountain. At the deepest part, there was a huge red ember that was shining and burning so brightly.
"Oh shit! Wren, you lucky oyster! You know what that is? It's a fire spirit!"
"What's that?" Wren curiously looked it.
The fire was very warm and soothing.
"it can help your cultivation right," he gently petted Feng's feathers.
"Yeah but it's not safe at all. Look down,"
Wren keenly peered at the hole. There were so many snake dens that connected to this huge hole. That was the only reason these serpents actually survived on this frost mountain.
"But it's good for you right,"
"Wren… you can't…."
Before he could finish Wren started to climb down.
"Wren, you idiot. Om telling you to stop! Just listen to mem. You should not go there."
Wren defined his wish once again.
Feng felt very frustrated by this. even during the showdown with that ice serpent this stupid oyster did not listen to him one bit. he was never been like this before.
"You have changed…"
"I have not. I'm still your darling mate," Wren mumbled as he busily climbed down.
It was quite easy actually, but the closer he got the temperature got high. His clothes were slightly charred at the ends.
Wren removed his shirt and tossed it in his pouch.
"Wren, my dear darling can we please concentrate on the competition?"
"We still have six hours left. Nothing to worry about."
"They have only a certain number of slots!"
"Don't care. If this for spirit can make you feel better, I can forfeit that competition," he casually said.
Feng went silent. "Incorrigible."
"I would prefer it if you call me loving."
"Bullheaded," Feng scoffed.
"You should define me as brave-hearted."
"Wren, stop this. It's too risky. Can't you feel it? The fire spirit will cook you alive."
Wren stopped at least a few kilometers above the spirit. "It won't kill me but I have to approach it with caution."
Feng popped his head out. "it looks like a young fire spirit. But you can't tame it… but it originated here. it will refuse to come with us,"
Wren got as close as he could to the small flame. It was as big as a small blueberry but the light and the heat it produces was immeasurable. He felt his spiritual core tremble slightly. As a fire spiritual energy cultivator if he cultivated close to this spirit it will be much beneficial.
He got down to a snake hole and sat inside. There was also a snake skeleton here indicating this snake hole was free.
"so how can we capture it?"
"You can't just garb into it. It will burn you to ashes. We need a special ice glass to capture it. It's very rare Wren, even I've never seen a spirit-grade ice glass before. Let's just give up on it,"
It felt like a bummer to let this treasure be. But since they did not have the ice glass to store it Wren's plan came to a standstill.
"Okay then, we'll drop by some other day to get this. I'll have a lookout for spirit grade ice glass,"
Feng secretly looked away.
"Darling why are you looking away, hmm? is there more to this spirit glass story that you are hiding from me?"
"n-no…"
"Oh you hesitated. That would only mean that you are definitely hiding something.. boohoo my mate is hiding things from me it's so sad." He pitifully pouted.
Fen jumped out of his shirt and instantly changed to his human form. "Wren don't cry…. come here," he hugged him tightly.
Wren wrapped his coat around Feng's naked butt. "so what else doo you have to tell me?" he cutely blinked.
His little mate could not handle his cute looks at all. He usually relented.. and as he expected Feng sighed loudly and kissed his cheeks. "Fine. You win. Ice glass is not that rare. We can find it very easily…"
"Where? Can we find it close to Rene?"
"It's here. Look around you. How do you think this mountain is surviving the heat of this fire spirit? This mountain is fully just frozen ice. it should have melted but here it is standing tall and cold. It's because the ice here contains small shards of ice glass in them especially close to the flame."
Feng moved close to the wall of the cave and tapped on it. a ringing sound was heard. "hear that. It's not just ice its ice glass… if we can harvest the glass separately make a small bottle and then we can do it. But the only issue is the method of separating ice from ice glass has been lost in time,"
Wren gave him a dull look. "It's ice. it melts."
"It's not that simple, Wren. This ice glass is also mixed in with the sediments of gold, silver, and other metal and crystals. Separating them is not easy at all. In fact, that's why I said spirit-grade ice glass is very rare. Because its purity is 90 percent."
Wren nodded. "oh…"
"Now that you have heard it all, shall we go up now?"
"Okay~"
"Such a waste of time."
"I don't mind. If that treasure can help you, I am willing to waste all my time," he stood up, patting his back. "Let's go," he gestured for him.
Feng moved close and kissed his lips hard. "Such sweet words. I might get tooth cavity soon…"
Wren grabbed his waist and kissed him hard. "I've changed my mind.. why don't we stay here for a bit and then go up…. we still have a lot of time,"
"No," Feng pushed him away coldly. "Don't play around. You have to get into the academy, don't you want to get strong? This is the only way. Inside you will meet strong men and women who someday will become your comrades. The academy is not only about training, it's about connections. If you want to defeat those men who destroyed your family, you desperately need both power and connections Wren."
"So please take it seriously." Feng kissed him again. "I… I'm not as strong as those men who attacked your home.. if they come for us next time… I don't wish to think about it. You have to get strong. I will train too. I will get strong as well. Together we have to survive this obstacle,"
"Yes together. We will together deal with this," Wren hugged him tightly. Inside he was burning with passion again. Feng was right, they were in great danger. If he slacked now then their lives would also slip away. 'I can't play around any longer.'
"Let's go."
