I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

The Fire Scorpion carried the unconscious Li Chen on its back and ran all the way along the tunnel. She could feel a powerful force chasing them from behind. Looking back, she saw the magma of the Fire Ancestral Witch rolling along the tunnel, chasing them closely like a ferocious beast.

The Fire Scorpion was extremely anxious, but she knew she couldn't stop, otherwise the lava would catch up. She desperately dug a tunnel, hoping to escape Mount Emei as quickly as possible. However, the scorching lava kept chasing her.

Just as the Fire Scorpion was feeling hopeless, she suddenly spotted a faint glimmer of light ahead. Delighted, she sped up and ran towards the light. As she got closer, she realized it was the tunnel exit.

The Fire-Eating Scorpion quickly transformed into a human form and rushed out of the tunnel carrying the unconscious Li Chen. As soon as she emerged from the tunnel, she saw the entrance to Mount Emei, the Emei Mountain Tunnel. This was now the exit for the two of them to escape from the clutches of the Fire Witch. Without hesitation, she took Li Chen out of the tunnel. The moment they jumped out of the tunnel, scorching hot magma gushed out from the tunnel exit!

The Fire-Eating Scorpion hugged Li Chen tightly, looking at the scene before her, her heart filled with fear and helplessness. She didn't know how to face all this, and she didn't know how to protect Li Chen. But she knew that no matter what happened, she would protect him, even if it cost her own life...

Finally, after the fire-eating poisonous scorpion ran all the way, the two arrived at the village.

"Owner!"

When Fairy Hibiscus saw Li Chen's appearance, she ran over immediately. Li Chen's body was covered with flesh burnt by flames, and part of his armor had already been burned and melted!

When she saw the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion, she was stunned for a moment, then she saw the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion nodded to him, and she understood that she was the person Li Chen subdued on the way to attack Mount Emei.

Seeing Li Chen in such a miserable state, the villagers and the little demons that Li Chen had subdued gathered around him and took him to the bed.

Fairy Hibiscus looked at the wounds on Li Chen's body and couldn't stop crying: "Master, how could you be so badly injured? Who did it? I'm going to kill him!"

The Fire-Eating Scorpion said angrily, "It's Zhurong, the Ancestral Fire Shaman! He's incredibly powerful, and his magical powers are unparalleled! The two of us can't defeat him, so let's wait for our master to wake up before we make a decision!"

Fairy Hibiscus wiped her tears, nodded, and said, "Well, that's fine. However, we still have to take good care of our master during this period and not let him get hurt again."

The Fire-Eating Scorpion nodded in agreement. "That's right, we must protect our Master. Furthermore, our Master's injury this time serves as a reminder to us that we must be careful in the future and not let something like this happen again."

Fairy Hibiscus sighed, "Yes, I hope the master can get better soon. Also, those who bullied the master, I will definitely not let them go after the master recovers."

A fierce look flashed in the Fire-Eating Scorpion's eyes: "Don't worry, the master will definitely take revenge."

After that, the two looked at each other, their eyes showing a firm determination. They decided to share the responsibility of taking care of Li Chen. So, they began to take good care of Li Chen, hoping to help him recover as soon as possible.

After seeing this, the other villagers and the little demons all asked to stand guard outside the door to prevent anyone from disturbing Li Chen's recovery. They were willing to use their meager strength to protect this person who meant so much to them.

However, Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion politely declined their offer. They knew they were more than enough here, and the villagers and the demons needed a good rest. Although reluctant, they ultimately obeyed Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion's insistence and returned to their rooms to rest.

"Master's temperature! Why is it so high?" Fairy Hibiscus shouted anxiously. Her eyes widened, her face full of worry and uneasiness.

Fairy Hibiscus nervously placed her hand on Li Chen's forehead, wanting to check on his condition. As soon as she touched Li Chen's forehead, she felt a burning sensation that startled her.

Seeing this, the Fire Scorpion quickly reached out to Li Chen's head, trying to understand more. Beads of sweat the size of beans continuously dripped down Li Chen's forehead, as if he were being tortured by endless pain. His face was as pale as paper, clearly weakened by the high fever.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Fairy Hibiscus was extremely anxious. She turned around and around anxiously, not knowing how to deal with the crisis. She knew that if she didn't deal with it in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

The Fire Scorpion pondered for a moment and said, "We must find a way to lower our master's body temperature, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

So, the two of them sprang into action. Fairy Hibiscus soaked a towel in cold water and gently wiped Li Chen's forehead, arms, and legs, trying to dissipate the heat. Meanwhile, the Fire Scorpion found some ice cubes, wrapped them in a cloth, and placed them under Li Chen's armpits and groin to help cool him down.

However, despite their best efforts, Li Chen's temperature remained high. Fairy Furong was extremely worried, fearing that this would cause irreparable damage to Li Chen.

At this moment, the Fire Scorpion suddenly had an idea. He said, "We can try to inject some spiritual energy into the master to see if it can alleviate his condition."

Fairy Hibiscus nodded and said, "That's one way, but we have to be careful not to let the Master get hurt."

Then, Fire Scorpion and Hibiscus Fairy sat beside Li Chen, gently placed their hands on his body, and slowly injected their spiritual energy into his body. They carefully controlled the flow of spiritual energy to avoid causing any discomfort to Li Chen.

As time went on, Li Chen's body gradually absorbed the spiritual energy, and his body temperature began to slowly drop. Seeing this, Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion breathed a sigh of relief.

After a period of effort, Li Chen's body temperature finally returned to normal, and his breathing became steady. Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion collapsed to the ground exhausted. They knew the crisis was over for the time being, but they still needed to keep an eye on Li Chen's condition and ensure his full recovery.

"Look, the master's temperature! He's running a fever again!" the Fire-Eating Scorpion screamed. Hibiscus Fairy immediately became nervous upon hearing this. She turned to look at Li Chen, only to see that his face was as pale as paper and his body was trembling slightly.

"How could this happen? Didn't it return to normal just now?" Fairy Hibiscus said anxiously.

The Fire-Eating Scorpion frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Perhaps the internal injuries caused by the Fire Ancestral Witch's flames to the master haven't been completely healed since we stopped supplying spiritual energy. Under the stimulation of our spiritual energy, the master's body temperature has begun to rise sharply again. This is not a good sign."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Hibiscus was extremely anxious and quickly placed her hand on Li Chen's back again, preparing to continue injecting spiritual energy into his body. However, when she felt the breath in Li Chen's body, she found that his condition was worse than before.

"No, we have to increase the input of spiritual energy this time." Fairy Hibiscus said, continuously injecting her spiritual energy into Li Chen's body.

The fire-eating poisonous scorpion did not dare to delay. It crawled to Li Chen's side, opened its mouth, and spewed out a powerful spiritual energy, which together with the spiritual energy of the Hibiscus Fairy, flowed into Li Chen's body.

The two worked together, continuously injecting spiritual energy into Li Chen's body, trying to help him regulate the severe internal injuries caused by the flames of the Fire Ancestral Witch. As time passed, sweat gradually appeared on their foreheads, and they looked very tired.

At this tense and critical moment, an innocent and lively female voice suddenly came from outside.

"What happened here?"

Then, the door to Li Chen's room was opened by the woman. She was petite and slender, not as mature and sexy as the Hibiscus Fairy or the Fire-Eating Scorpion, but rather had a bit more of the lively and cuteness of a young girl.

She had a pretty face, with a hint of orchid, giving people a fresh and unworldly feeling, and in her hands, as delicate as white marble, she held a somewhat strange little stick!
