The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Yun Yici woke up.

She heard the emperor shout her name, but before she could turn around, a flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and her consciousness drifted away, disappearing without a trace.

The first thing Yun Yici did when she opened her eyes was to look around.

The first thing you see is blue sky and white clouds, with black loaches darting through the clouds, howling as they swim.

"Eh??"

Wait a minute, she looked closer and realized that the thing that looked like a loach was actually a black dragon, and it looked a bit like Hua Yi.

She looked down again and saw a towering sky below, with the Chishui River flowing endlessly, but the once wide expanse of water now looked like a small red stream.

Yun Yici was numb; she realized she couldn't move her body.

Moreover, when she looked down, she couldn't see her own hands, feet, or even her body.

So what is her current state, and what about Mu Yunjian?

Yun Yici asked the void, "Where is this? Are you the Fire Spirit?"

"My name is Zhujian. Are you the master chosen for me by Heaven?"

The clear, melodious voice of a young girl seemed to come from beyond the heavens, making Yun Yici feel dazed for a moment.

A sense of shame arose in her heart. Zhulong was willing to give up his ascension and sacrifice himself to purify the evil in the world.

However, she took advantage of the system to manipulate things, using the name of Heaven to make the Candle Dragon Fire Spirit follow her.

Yun Yici wanted to sit up straight, but she couldn't, and she didn't know what state she was in right now.

She said seriously, "I'm sorry, but the decision of choosing a master is yours to make. If you want to stay by Zhulong's side, you can stay with him forever."

"Just give my senior brother back to us."

Zhu Jian was stunned, then laughed lightly: "You are different from those demon cultivators who come looking for Zhulong."

"The mission of Zhulong has ended. After that, divine flames like mine, without a master, will slowly disappear. Only by finding a new master can I continue to burn."

"Actually, I'm pretty useless, you know that. If you have any evil thoughts or do anything bad, I might burn you too."

What Zhujian said was not a lie; no human or demon can guarantee that they will never have evil thoughts or do bad things in their entire life.

Yun Yici said, "Do you know where my senior brother is? He's the demon who came in with me."

"It's black and looks a bit like a rabbit."

"I have come to you because you can remove the last bit of evil from him."

Yun Yici was genuinely afraid that Zhujian had already been cremated; otherwise, why wouldn't she let her see Muyunjian?

The fire from the Candle Dragon is excellent and noble; she admitted that she was secretly delighted to have drawn such a wonderful treasure.

However, her original purpose for participating in the lottery was simple: to ward off evil spirits in the twilight.

She stepped into the Candle Dragon Fire, hoping to negotiate with the Fire Spirit and safely return Muyunjian to them.

Zhu Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "Your senior brother was possessed by evil spirits precisely because he harbored evil intentions."

"At that time, there was also a Tiger-like beast in the Candle Dragon Domain. Because your senior brother had too much evil in his heart, that evil energy was more inclined towards your senior brother."

Compared to the evil spirit, even a fool would know to possess the stronger one. However, because the possessor is an evil thought, it will naturally be attracted to the more vicious one.

Yun Yici said, "So that's how it is. Isn't this a good thing? If my senior brother hadn't harbored evil intentions, he would have died right then and there."

See, a villain is a villain, his wickedness is just right.

Zhujian: What you said seems to make some sense?

Zhu Jian felt like he was being brainwashed by this female cultivator.

She said, "What if you foresee that this person is a vicious and wicked person?"

Yun Yici truly foresaw the future of Muyunjian.

Yun Yici said, "Did Zhulong foresee that after his ascension, evil energy would spread throughout the demon realm, so he gave up ascension and locked the evil energy in his body to purify it for ten thousand years?"

"Although I am not as capable as Zhulong in purifying an entire world, I can still help one person."

“My senior brother has not done anything wrong. I cannot watch him die here, both morally and logically.”

“If he ever harbors evil intentions after this, I will bring him back to the right path. If one day he commits an unforgivable crime, I will no longer consider our camaraderie and will kill him with my own hands.”

Zhu Jian remained silent for a long time, while Yun Yici saw the howling black dragon in the clouds turn into a small person.

She squinted and looked closely before realizing that it resembled the patriarch of the Chilong clan, Hua Yi's father.

The man was completely unaware of her presence.

Yun Yici exclaimed in surprise, "Where did you take me?"

Zhujian finally spoke: "Let me let you experience Zhulong's perspective."

Holy crap, she turned into Zhulong!!

So her hands and feet turned into short but powerful little claws.

Zhu Jian seemed to sense Yun Yici's thoughts and almost retorted, "You're inside Zhulong's mouth."

“I was afraid that you would act recklessly and only awaken your consciousness, sharing the perspective with Zhulong.”

"That evil spirit is sleeping right next to you."

Yun Yici breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's how it is."

"Wait, Hua Yi's father is here, but where are my master and the others?"

Zhu Jian replied, "Mingwu led them to the Blood Abyss, where there was also a snake demon and a fox demon."

Yun Yici thought to herself that the snake demon should be Li Ji, and the fox demon could be Bai Ruo.

Before she could figure it out, she saw the patriarch of the Chilong clan transform into a black dragon and fly away into the distance with a dot on his back.

Zhu Jian said, "He couldn't get down, so he went to get reinforcements."

Yun Yici exclaimed in surprise, "If the news that the remains of Zhulong are beneath the Blood Abyss gets out, I'm afraid other demon races will come running."

She felt a pang of indignation for Zhulong, who had given up ascension to purify the evil spirits of the demon realm and even lost his own life.

The demon cultivators, however, showed no gratitude and even after death, they still wanted to devour Zhulong completely.

Zhu Jian said, "Don't worry, they won't be able to get down."

"Those who have ideas can't come down."

Yun Yici believed what Zhu Jian said and said happily, "Then once you have cleansed my senior brother of all evil energy, I will leave with him."

“You have developed sentience, and I will never force you to acknowledge a master.”

Zhu Jian fell silent again. After a long while, Yun Yici heard her voice: "Actually, there's something I need to tell you."

"what?"

"I am not the Fire Spirit, I am the Candle Dragon."

Yun Yici: ? ? ?

This time, she was the one who remained silent.

Upon closer reflection, the legendary Zhulong also has no gender. It turns out that the "he" Mingwu was referring to was actually "she".

Before Yun Yici could speak, Zhu Jian said to himself, "I was born with a divine body, which seems noble, but in reality, from birth to death, I am not in control of my own destiny."

"I gave up ascension because it is my mission to illuminate all things, but not myself."

"I will disappear once the last trace of evil energy on your senior brother's body is gone."

"Actually, I didn't want to talk to you, because even wicked people who take my fire will be burned to death, but I probably haven't spoken to anyone in a long time."

“That enlightened monk talks a lot, but all he does is chant Buddhist scriptures. He’s not as interesting as you.”
