All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Feng Ning nodded and pointed to the scratch marks on the tree next to her. "Those are the marks I made earlier, they're still there."

"Could it be a ghost wall? Or a maze?" Lin Tanyu asked, shrinking his neck.

Feng Ning smiled and said, "I'm afraid there are still some unusual aspects."

"what?"

She pointed to the bushes in front of her. "Don't forget, we didn't fly there. We walked there step by step on the ground. But where are the tracks we left behind?"

The two looked down at the ground and indeed found this strange place.

Yes.

When they walked past, they not only left footprints, but also parted a lot of grass and cut some branches that were blocking their way.

But looking at it now, it still looks like a primeval forest, and it doesn't seem like anyone has ever walked through it.

Lin Tanyu shuddered. "Why do I feel so creeped out?"

Feng Ning patted her on the shoulder, "The creepy stuff is yet to come."

She pointed to the marks on the tree. "If something's not right, then why are the marks on the tree still there, but the marks on the ground are gone?"

Lin Tanyu was confused for a moment. "Why?"

Xue Feng was equally puzzled. "Yeah, why? If someone had tampered with things, they should have dealt with everything at once. How could some parts have been tampered with while others remained untouched?"

Unable to understand, the two could only place their hopes on Feng Ning.

Feng Ning smiled and turned to look at Xue Feng, "Senior Brother Xue, I remember you have a fire elemental root, right?"

Xue Feng nodded. "Not bad."

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother Xue, to set a fire."

Xue Feng stared at her incredulously. "What did you say? Setting a fire here?"

"Yes."

Lin Tanyu stepped forward and tugged at Feng Ning's arm. "Junior sister, this is a forest. If we set this fire, the forest will be destroyed, and we will all die."

Feng Ning shook her head. "Don't worry, it won't burn you to death."

Then, right in front of the two of them, she used her ice spirit root to build a small ice house directly on the ground.

After finishing, he gestured with his chin toward Xue Feng and said, "Go ahead and set it on fire. Come in after you're done; it won't burn us."

Xue Feng said with some worry, "Junior sister, what if the ice melts? We'll be in real trouble then."

Feng Ning smiled brightly at him, "Senior Brother Xue, guess why the Ice Spirit Root is called a Mutated Spirit Root?"

"Why?" he asked instinctively.

At this moment, Lin Tanyu realized something.

"Junior sister, are you saying that Xue Feng's fire can't melt your ice? So even if the forest is burned down, we'll still be safe, right?"

Feng Ning nodded. "That's exactly what I mean. So go ahead and burn it. It's just a broken forest. Once it's burned down, it's all gone. No matter what kind of demons or monsters they are, once they're all turned to ashes, everything will be clear."

Xue Feng was still somewhat hesitant.

This is a huge forest...

Putting everything else aside, the act of burning down forests is simply wrong.

What's more, there are many demonic beasts, spirit beasts, and spirit plants here. If they are all burned to death... wouldn't that be bad?

He turned to look at Lin Tanyu, hoping she could persuade Feng Ning again.

As soon as he looked over, he saw Lin Tanyu blinking at him vigorously.

He stared at it for two seconds, and even the dumbest person would finally understand.

He just said it!

How could someone as intelligent and kind as Junior Sister Feng possibly do something like burning down a forest? It turns out it was all just an act!

If that's the case, the forest certainly won't be destroyed, and what's in front of him might not be real. So what if it's burned? Why should he feel bad about it?

So he happily set a fire.

He even used his strongest move, unleashing a rain of fire from the sky, showering down on the area around him that he could control.

They then immediately entered the small ice house.

Feng Ning remained expressionless, manipulating her ice-type spiritual power to seal the last opening.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the ice in front of her became clear and transparent, like a layer of glass, allowing those inside to clearly see what was happening outside.

They saw a rain of fire falling from the sky, igniting instantly upon contact, turning the entire forest into a sea of ​​fire.

Even knowing it was fake, the three of them still felt a little nervous.

Xue Feng wasn't sure if it was really as he suspected, and he was just about to ask them to confirm their thoughts.

Then Feng Ning put her index finger to her lips and looked at him, making a shushing gesture.

Xue Feng immediately shut up and turned to look outside again.

In no time, the forest fire disappeared, and what appeared before them was a place they had never seen before.

It was still a forest, but it looked more vibrant, with flowers, trees, and all sorts of cute little animals, like a real jungle paradise.

Then came an old and dignified voice.

"Little kids, you burned down my forest, don't you owe me an explanation?"

The three of them remained silent.

He continued, "How long are you planning to stay in that turtle shell? Are you retiring there?"

Feng Ning calmly removed the ice house and stared straight ahead.

The other two were also looking around, trying to find the person who had spoken, but he was hiding too well and they couldn't find him.

Feng Ning said, "Senior, we don't admit to this crime. You say we set fire, but where is the fire? When did we burn your forest?"

The old man sneered, "Hmph! You woman are the most cunning. It was clearly you who ordered him to set the fire, yet you still dare to deny it."

Feng Ning shrugged. "Don't you know the rules of the martial arts world? The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. You say we burned down your forest, then produce the evidence. If you can't produce the evidence, I'll sue you for defamation."

"Evidence? Your presence here is the evidence. If you hadn't destroyed my formation, how could you have appeared here?"

Feng Ning smiled and said, "Then you must be mistaken. The reason we got here is entirely due to fate; it's destiny."

Then, the old man's voice was heard, becoming somewhat exasperated, "You wicked woman who's full of lies! Who gave you permission to talk to me like that? You ruined my things! I won't let you get away with this."

Xue Feng immediately stood in front of the two of them, holding a knife and looking around warily.

"Take care of yourself, I'll handle the rest."

Feng Ning raised an eyebrow. "Don't be so nervous. They sincerely invited us to come here. Don't let their kindness go to waste."

Hearing this, Xue Feng was also helpless. "Junior sister, didn't you hear what he just said? They didn't invite us to have fun; they wanted to kill us."
