A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

The jade pendant vibrated and hummed in the purple halo that exploded in the dome, and the bronze veins on Ye Shuli's little finger suddenly taut.

The tremors from underground penetrated the soles of her shoes, and she saw that the patterns on the planetarium on the back of Jiang Ye's neck were glowing an abnormal red light.

'The old man always says that every time the earth pulsates, the celestial orbits deviate by three inches.' Jiang Ye suddenly grabbed her wrist, his fingertips pressing against her throbbing pulse. 'When you get back, show me your copy of the Periodic Table?'

Ye Shuli shook off his hand, but the tips of her ears glowed a suspicious pink under the starlight: "Burn your 'Flirting Guide' first."

Crimson lines appeared in the northwestern sky as the wise man used his star-patterned staff to create two teleportation arrays.

As the pillars of ice-blue and crimson-gold light shot into the sky, Ye Shuli suddenly grabbed Jiang Ye's collar.

The girl's lips, carrying the fresh scent of herbs, brushed against his earlobe and landed a fleeting kiss on his cheek.

"If you dare to die, you'll be turned into lamp oil." The moment she turned and leaped into the fiery teleportation array, her bronze veins suddenly swelled into ropes, wrapping around their wrists in a pattern of twin lotus blossoms.

The air in the land of fire is so hot it can burn your lungs.

As soon as Ye Shuli landed, she tore off the three layers of protective talismans, but her black outfit was still scorched by the heat.

In the distance, dark golden fire essence surged in the lava river. The moment she gripped the jade pendant, the entire crimson world suddenly froze.

&34; Trespasser—&34;

The magma solidified into a three-zhang-tall red-armored giant, with blue and white flames dancing in its empty eye sockets.

Before Ye Shuli could even speak, the meteorite fire in the other party's palm condensed into a nine-headed fire phoenix and rushed straight at her.

"Don't you guardians listen to people?" Ye Shuli spun around and threw out seven Ice Soul Needles, her modern chemical knowledge racing through her mind.

The ice needle exploded into nitrogen mist the moment it hit the fire phoenix, tearing a gap in the wall of fire.

The lava lizards watching the battle from the rock wall let out a "clucking" laugh, slapping their tails against the scorching rocks.

Ye Shuli wiped the sweat from her chin and suddenly noticed that the breastplate on the giant's left shoulder would flash three times every time the giant swung his flaming halberd.

When the fifth wave of fire struck, she deliberately stumbled and crashed into the rock pillar on her right.

Amidst the crisp sound of the protective shield shattering, the jade pendant suddenly emitted a blue light—this was the damage reduction array pattern that Jiang Ye had secretly carved onto it this morning.

"Got you." Ye Shuli smiled in the heat, looking at the 0.7-second cooldown window that appeared on the other person's chest protector.

The lava lizards' laughter abruptly ceased as they watched the disheveled human woman suddenly direct the flames toward the leyline fissure.

The magma lizard's charred tail slapped against the rock wall with a rapid, crisp sound. Taking advantage of the shockwave, Ye Shuli bit her fingertip as she flipped backward.

The moment the blood dripped onto the jade pendant, the power of the void, carrying the power of divinity, condensed into a triangular pyramid of light in the palm of the hand.

As the Flame Guardian raised her halberd for the ninth time, she suddenly staggered and knelt on one knee.

Blood seeped from the tear in the left shoulder of the black outfit, and a white mist with a rusty smell rose from the scorching rock.

"Insects!" The blue and white flames in the giant's eye sockets surged three inches, and the nine-headed fire phoenix merged into a crimson-gold giant wheel that pressed down.

Ye Shuli lowered her head and gave a cold smile. The triangular pyramid in her palm suddenly split into 720 ice-blue light fragments—each fragment refracting the principle of light refraction learned in modern physics class.

The moment the light blade storm pierced through the fire wheel, Ye Shuli rose into the air, stepping on the black spots of solidified magma.

The triangular pyramid core, encased in an ice core formed from nitrogen, precisely pierced the crack in the giant's left shoulder breastplate.

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, dark green acid rain suddenly fell over the entire fiery land—this was the spontaneous combustion reaction of the corrosive liquid she had prepared three days earlier upon encountering high temperatures.

"Human!" The fragments of the Guardian's breastplate, which had been peeled off, turned into fireballs, but were frozen by the frost patterns the instant they touched the bronze veins on the girl's wrist.

Just as Ye Shuli was about to press her advantage, she suddenly caught a glimpse of transparent wings glowing with fluorescence behind a piece of lava.

The elemental spirits peeked out from behind the hexagonal crystal pillars, their azure pupils reflecting the rain of fire.

It flicked its fingers, releasing three ice crystals that melted at Ye Shuli's feet into arrows pointing towards the giant's back: "Every seven attacks from the Heart of Flame will emit a red glow from the seventh vertebra."

As the seventeenth wall of fire rushed towards her, Ye Shuli suddenly turned and rushed towards the ley line fissure.

The black iron boots skimmed across the surface of the lava, and with each step of the giant chasing behind, burning boulders on the cliff top were shaken off.

Just as she was about to fall into the crevice, the bronze veins on her wrist suddenly burst forth with a blue light—the Soul-Chasing Rope that Jiang Ye had secretly tied on her the night before was pulling her up and flipping her over in mid-air.

Using the momentum of the rotation, Ye Shuli poured all her strength into the tip of the jade pendant.

The moment the power of the void tore through the guardian's back armor, the ice spikes formed from divine power pierced precisely into the pulsating heart of flame.

The sound of shattering glass echoed through the heavens and earth, and countless fire essences transformed into streams of light that flowed into the jade pendant in her palm.

Suddenly, the elemental spirit unfurled its cicada-like wings, weaving a heat-insulating barrier around Ye Shuli: "Three hundred miles to the southeast lies the Snow Soul Spring, which heals burns." Having said this, it vanished into the rising heat, leaving only a shard of ice on the girl's bleeding sleeve.

As the jade pendant absorbed the last cluster of flames, Ye Shuli suddenly pressed her wildly throbbing wrist.

The frost patterns on the bronze veins had spread to her elbow joint, and frost flowers were forming on Jiang Ye's half of the Soul-Chasing Rope in her palm.

At the entrance to the icy land a thousand miles away, the white mist exhaled by Jiang Ye condensed into ice beads on his eyelashes.

His hand, which was holding half of the Soul-Chasing Rope, suddenly trembled—a burning pulse was coming from the end that belonged to Ye Shuli, while the bronze veins on his wrist began to congeal into ice crystals.
