The pink candle dragon stared at her in disbelief. "Strange, indeed. I used to be invisible to the world, and no one could understand me. But suddenly, everyone is able to see and hear me clearly," it murmured.

As the pink candle dragon was speaking, Gu Xijiu had been plucking away the thorns on its body. The creature was definitely grateful.

Delightfully, it rubbed its lantern against her palm before initiating a question and answer session. It told her anything that she wanted to know and almost everything that it ever knew. Perhaps, it was even more than what it had previously shared with Di Hao.

Troubled, Gu Xijiu did not expect this place to only have a way in and not a way out.

Nevertheless, she had to try to find a way. In fact, she refused to believe that there would be any wizardry barrier that she was unable to break. With that thought in mind, she clenched her fists as if ready to take on the challenge! 

Also, she had not figured out how she was related to the G.o.d of Demons, who happened to look exactly like her. She suspected that the oddity of the wizardry barrier must be a.s.sociated with the mysterious woman.

It did not take long for Gu Xijiu to remove all the thorns from the pink candle dragon"s body. Finally, a layer of cream was applied to soothe the wounds, and the pain subsided. But even with the pain gone, the candle dragon seemed to have its guard up all the time. It would pay more attention to its surroundings than before. 

"What is the matter?" Gu Xijiu rubbed its forehead.

"It does not seem right. It has been a while since the black candle dragon had found us. If I am not mistaken, it is still able to trace my scent and find us."

The black candle dragon had certainly made a strong impression on Little Pink.

"Why do you say so?"

The pink candle dragon proceeded to tell her about their ability to sense one another"s presence.

"Why didn"t you say so earlier?" Gu Xijiu was surprised to find out that the candle dragon"s had such a unique ability.

"I was in great pain at the time, and the thought did not cross my mind. Sorry!"

"It"s okay then." Gu Xijiu stroked its head and gently added, "So, can you tell where it is right now?"

"I did not even bother to find out. I am too good for that guy," the pink candle dragon proudly declared.

Gu Xijiu was perplexed by its reply, and she knew that she would have to explain her reasoning to the creature. "Silly, I need your help to sense its presence so that we can avoid it." She was equipped with the ability to teleport, so if the black candle dragon was really coming their way, she could easily teleport them to safety and keep Fan Qians.h.i.+ away.

At this point, her power was not on par with Fan Qians.h.i.+"s. Moreover, her two companions were injured. Hence, a head-on fight should be avoided at all costs.

The pink candle dragon understood her intention now, so it agreed to help.

After taking a moment to sense the black candle dragon"s presence, it responded with utter surprise, "I can sense that it is somewhere beneath the ground, but it is moving in a direction that is getting further and further away from us."

"Have your senses failed you before?" Gu Xijiu had to make sure.

"No, at least not so far."

…

Red-hot magma could be seen boiling with bubbles beneath the surface. Getting too close would roast and burn almost anyone to death.

Fan Qians.h.i.+ was standing next to a stream of magma, along with Little Black. "Are you sure that they are hiding here?" It was the one who showed him the way.

Little Black firmly responded, "Yes."

Fan Qians.h.i.+ was quite puzzled, for he had not dealt with Gu Xijiu enough to know that she possessed the ability to survive in magma. However, he chose to believe that Little Black"s instruction was correct.

"Wait for me here. I will get down there to check it out." Fan Qians.h.i.+ gave Little Black a gentle tap before diving into the burning hot liquid.

Little Black"s emotionless face suddenly broke into a smile.

It was certainly unhappy with its master right now.

He promised to keep Little Pink alive but ended up going against his own words. The pink creature had to suffer the pain of being turned into a hedgehog!
