Chapter 427 - 424: Subduing the Azure Flame

Amidst the vast ocean.

Gao Fei looked around, searching for the whereabouts of the azure flame.

"Could the azure flame have been extinguished by the seawater?" Chen San asked.

"No," Gao Fei shook his head, "As you all saw just now, the azure flame is incredibly potent and not afraid of the seawater at all."

"Or... maybe it sank to the bottom of the sea," Liu Qing said hesitantly.

"Bang!"

A strange noise suddenly came.

"What's that sound?" Gao Fei was stunned for a moment.

"Bang!"

The sound rang out again, and this time Gao Fei heard it clearly; it came from inside the dead octopus' body.

"Pfft!"

The belly of the octopus split open, and then a burst of azure flame flew out.

"It's the azure flame!" Chen San exclaimed in shock.

"It really is the azure flame," Liu Qing was also full of surprise, "No wonder we couldn't find it; it was hiding inside the octopus' belly."

Gao Fei's eyes widened as he stared intently at the azure flame. So this was Li Fire? It looked so beautiful!

The azure flame hovered in midair, emitting an awe-inspiring aura. The air around it crackled upon contact with the azure flame, sounding like firecrackers.

"Gurgle!"

Another golden bead rolled out from the octopus' belly, about the size of a child's fist, sticky and exuding a fishy odor.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

After the appearance of the golden bead, the azure flame floating in midair became more lively, like a child seeing its mother, extremely excited.

"Quick, pick up the golden bead!" Xuan Jizi's urgent voice echoed in Gao Fei's mind.

"Why pick it up?" Gao Fei asked with Mental Power.

"Don't ask so many questions, just pick it up! Hurry!" Xuan Jizi urged, "Would I ever harm you?"

Under Xuan Jizi's urging, Gao Fei reached out and picked up the golden bead. The first impression was sticky; the second, an unbearably foul smell; and the third, disgust, making him want to vomit.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The azure flame suddenly became agitated, its flames flickering wildly, emanating a violent pressure.

"Quickly eat the golden bead!" Xuan Jizi commanded.

"Huh?" Gao Fei was dumbfounded, "What did you say? Eat this... disgusting bead? Are you joking with me?"

"Who has time to joke with you," Xuan Jizi became frantic, "If you trust me, eat the bead quickly! There's no time to waste, or it'll be too late!"

"Explain yourself clearly!" Gao Fei frowned, "Why should I eat this bead?"

"I ask you, do you want to subdue the azure flame or not?"

"Is that even a question? Of course, I do!"

"Then eat the golden bead, and you'll be able to subdue the azure flame."

"Really? You can't joke about these things, you know?"

"Are you trying to drive me insane…" Xuan Jizi was exasperated, "The azure flame is getting more and more violent. If you don't eat the golden bead soon, the azure flame will attack you and burn you to ashes!"

Gao Fei's face twitched violently, grappling with an intense struggle inside. Did he really have to swallow this revolting bead? Xuan Jizi, I'm going to trust you this one time. If you dare to play me, I will never forgive you! Gao Fei closed his eyes, held his breath, opened his mouth, and swallowed the golden bead...

"Huh?"

"No!"

Chen San and Liu Qing were dumbfounded, staring blankly at Gao Fei, "Sir, what are you doing? Why did you eat that... Bead?"

"Uh..."

Gao Fei belched, and a foul stench wafted up from his throat, making him dizzy and nearly causing him to faint, Good heavens, it was truly foul—the rhythm of death by stench! Gao Fei felt his organs churning, and the urge to vomit grew stronger by the second, hardly able to hold back anymore...

At that moment, Gao Fei regretted his actions, his guts turning blue with regret. He should not have listened to Xuan Jizi and swallowed the stinking Golden Bead into his belly. Now, he felt horrible all over, nauseated and wanting to vomit.

"Whoosh!"

The rampaging green flames suddenly became docile and moved closer on their own, circling around Gao Fei.

"What's happening?" Gao Fei was bewildered by the scene before him, "Why would the green flames... Ah..." Before Gao Fei could finish his sentence, he saw the green flames turn into a thin line and fly into his mouth, then down his throat into his body.

"Not good! The green flames have entered the sir's body!" Chen San's face turned ashen.

"Sir, quickly spit out the green flames!" Liu Qing shouted anxiously.

The green flames were incredibly powerful; they could even burn a terrifying octopus to death. Now that the green flames had entered Gao Fei's body, they could turn him to ashes at any moment.

Gao Fei stood still on the surface of the sea, his gaze vacant, silent.

"Sir, what's wrong with you!"

"Sir! Please don't scare me!"

Chen San and Liu Qing panicked.

"Ah... so comfortable..." Gao Fei let out a long breath, a look of enjoyment spreading across his face.

"Comfortable?" Chen San and Liu Qing were stunned. First, Gao Fei had swallowed the foul-smelling Golden Bead, then he had swallowed the terrifying green flames. His life hung in the balance, yet instead of panicking, he was saying... he felt comfortable? What was going on? Could it be that the green flames had damaged Gao Fei's brain, leading him to talk nonsense?

"Indeed, it's comfortable," Gao Fei nodded, "My whole body feels warm and cozy, and this sensation... it's indescribable."

"That's it, the sir's brain has been damaged by the green flames." Chen San's eyes reddened, "He's started talking nonsense."

"Nonsense, what are you talking about!" Gao Fei glared at Chen San fiercely, "Your brain is the one that's been damaged!"

"Sir... you..."

"I'm extremely lucid right now, never have I been so clear-headed."

"But..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine! That bundle of green flames is behaving itself in my stomach and hasn't harmed me."

"Ah? Really?"

"Would I lie to you guys?"

...

After confirming that Gao Fei was okay, Chen San and Liu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had truly been scared to death just now.

"Sir, what happened here?" Chen San asked curiously, "Why don't the green flames harm you?"

"Why did you swallow that stinking Golden Bead?" Liu Qing asked.

"How should I explain this..." Gao Fei pondered for a moment, "It's a bit complicated, too much to explain in a few words... When we have time later, I'll explain it to you slowly! It's getting late, let's hurry up and leave this place." Gao Fei leaped and departed.

Chen San and Liu Qing exchanged glances, then quickly followed suit.

Within moments, the silhouettes of the three had vanished.

The octopus's corpse floated on the ocean's surface, baking in the sunlight and then picked at by other fish. Before long, the octopus's body was picked clean, and thus, a being that had lived for thousands of years disappeared.

And the golden bird died unjustly, too.

If not for Gao Fei's interference, neither the golden bird nor the octopus would have likely died. All of this was caused by Gao Fei.
