“Who could’ve known this would happen? I too find it difficult to bear. After being shut inside the carriage all day yesterday, and not being to do anything at all, it nearly stifled me to death. Luckily, there’s you, sister, to accompany me. If not, I absolutely would’ve gone insane.” Shen Jiawei had always followed Shen Jiayi, and because he hadn’t been able to bear being shut in the carriage, in order to endure the dry and dull, he took advantage of the resting time to make his way into Shen Jiayi’s carriage.
It naturally wasn’t as dry and dull like before after the two brats had gathered together.
However, it was still unbearable.
“Peh! I truly want to know how that idiot is now, being shut inside her carriage by herself…… Hehe. She wouldn’t have made her carriage into a hideous mess, right? That carriage is indeed very expansive.” Shen Jiayi cast a glance towards the outside of the window as she snorted. [TLN: The ‘peh’ at the beginning is the sound of expelling breath]
“It can be precisely said that she’s an idiot, when she already has an issue wearing her clothes and eating her meals by herself. Contrarily, I precisely won’t dare go and have a look at the insides of her carriage, for who knows what appearance it’ll have. Sister, you nevertheless are awesome, to have her retinue brought over to you a long time ago.” Shen Jiawei chuckled as he said.
“As for her, does she deserve our clan’s elite’s services? Don’t joke around, as the 4 people that grandfather dispatched this time are all elites of the clan. To have them go and serve an idiot like that is recklessly wasting natural resources. As a matter of fact, I want to see how comfortable she is without anyone attending to her and yet being shut inside her carriage.” Shen Jiayi was very clear that she couldn’t be too obvious at making things hard on Shen Yanxiao before the sage. However, she could naturally make some small movements behind the sage’s back. Although it couldn’t loosen the hatred in her mind, it could still make Shen Yanxiao suffer some pain.
The two sibling working hand in hand with each other. As for the retinue, who was to the side keeping watch and serving them, the retinue had turned a blind eye to the matter of the two bullying Shen Yanxiao. The retinue only carefully observed the circumstances that were outside the window.
Suddenly, a vague human reflection flashed past outside of the carriage’s window. Astonished, the retinue extended the head outside, and nevertheless discovered that there wasn’t even a shadow on the scorched soil outside.
“What’s going on?” Shen Jiayi asked, as she’d taken note of the fact that the retinue was acting strangely.
The retinue looked and looked, but truly didn’t discover any anomalies afterwards. Only then did the retinue sit back at their original seat and say, “This subordinate had a vague and unclear vision just now, for a moment, and it was as if there was someone outside.”
Shen Jiayi laughed heartily and said, “Could it be that you’re getting blurry vision due to the jolting of the carriage? How could it be possible that there was someone outside? According to what my father’s said, inside the region that we’re in now, if one doesn’t wear the Ice Silk Armour and is to walk at the outside, one will immediately become human jerky. In this kind of place, how could there be people?”
The retinue nodded, for he too felt that his eyesight had dimmed, and thus didn’t take it to heart.
On the eve of the third day, the eight carriages had stopped in front of an enormous cave.
After rushing along the journey for a long time, they’d finally reached their destination. Everyone who’d been jolted inside the carriage for a long time impatiently got out of their carriages.
Shen Jiayi still knew the potential severity of her actions, and sent back the retinue that was originally in charge of taking care of Shen Yanxiao.
After being lead down off the carriage by the retinue, Shen Yanxiao extended her posture for a moment, before lifting her head and looking at the colossus that was before her eyes.
The pitch-black cave had a sufficient dimension that was half the size of a small mountain. Just by standing in the cave mouth, she was able to immediately sense the unending stream of high temperature that was coming from the cave itself. Fortunately, the Ice Silk Armour on her body helped to resist the invasion of the blazing heat. Although she could still sense the temperature that would’ve normally roasted people, it wasn’t really too intolerable.
“This way, please.” Said the retinue that stood at Shen Yanxiao’s side. Although the retinue knew that this seventh young lady would be unable to make sense of his words, he couldn’t help but to be a little respectful towards Shen Yanxiao before the sage.

In fact, from the start, the retinue hadn’t attached any importance to Shen Yanxiao, for he was the Vermillion Bird Clan’s elite that had been meticulously nurtured. To be able to be added into the troop this time was sufficient to testify his strength. However, he hadn’t expected that he’d unexpectedly be sent to attend to a piece of trash like this, and was very unwilling in his heart. Therefore, when Shen Jiayi showed up and deliberately made things difficult for Shen Yanxiao, he simply didn’t hesitate the slightest bit. He directly moved towards Shen Jiayi, and had Shen Yanxiao thrown into the carriage alone for 3 days.
Shen Yanxiao knew the inner thoughts of some people, and was disinclined to give them extra attention. She walked to the cave mouth.
People such as Shen Jiayi had arrived at the cave mouth long ago. There was a constant heat wave within the pitch-black cave that constantly rushed forth and surging in and out, which had people not willing or daring to take half a step nearer.
“This is precisely the place that the Vermillion Bird is laying dormant. You all should go and do some preparations, for we’ll be going in there in a little while.” The pure and holy smile was still hanging on the sage’s face, and there wasn’t even a little bit of nervousness towards confronting the cave before his eyes.
Shen Yifeng’s heartbeat became more and more rapid, for after the Vermillion Bird’s rousing this time, he’d most likely be the candidate that’d inherit the Vermillion Bird. He was already almost certain that the mythological animal that was lying dormant here was nearly under his usage. In order to conceal his current state of mind, which was more and more excited, he turned and looked at Shen Yanxiao, who’d already arrived at his side.
He was very clear that Shen Jiayi had deliberately made things hard for Shen Yanxiao during these past few days, but he nevertheless didn’t prevent it. However, at this moment, he nevertheless hung a cordial smile on his face, and said to the ignorant Shen Yanxiao, “Seventh younger sister, it’s been exhausting for you for these few days. However, you needn’t worry, for your older brother is here, and your older brother will take good care of you.”
Hearing this gentle sound, Shen Yifeng, at this moment, had changed into an older brother that was taking care of his younger sister.
Shen Yanxiao, nevertheless, held disdain towards people’s sudden arrival of kindness. If Shen Yifeng was truly doing things for her good, he absolutely wouldn’t have allowed Shen Jiayi to deliberately make things difficult for Shen Yanxiao. During these past 3 days, he hadn’t ever shown his face, and today’s act was nothing more than the reason of him wanting to present a genuine good side of his before the sage. Shen Yanxiao had already long discovered that, when she was at the Vermillion Bird Clan, Shen Yifeng would dote on Shen Yanxiao by every means possible, as if she was like his own biological younger sister, every single time Shen Siyu was there. However, so long as Shen Siyu wasn’t there, Shen Yifeng would treat her as if she were invisible. There wasn’t a need to speak about sweet talking for even a glance wasn’t even spared for her.
With just that point of his carefulness in thought, Shen Yanxiao had already grasped everything clearly. Towards this kind of a blockhead who couldn’t even be hypocritical all-around, she was disinclined to even take the trouble to share her thoughts with him.
Shen Yifeng didn’t hope for this idiot to respond to his goodwill either. What he’d said just now was nothing more than him showing off his benevolence before the sage. One of the other main reasons why people from the God’s Domain were revered by the commoners was because the people from the God’s Domain were always so benevolent when they showed up before others. They loathed sinisterness and darkness, but advocated open heartedness and benevolence.
Shen Yifeng naturally knew that he had to express himself at an appropriate time, and this was the best method he could express his benevolence with, which was precisely to treat this idiot well. In any case, this trash wouldn’t threaten him and plunder the Vermillion Bird. Therefore, making an effort on the surface was very simple.
Shen Yanxiao’s appearance within this troop hadn’t only become an unfortunate person in substituting Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei as a base cushion, but had also became a stage prop for Shen Yifeng to reveal his own positive energy.
It couldn’t be helped but said that everyone had all accomplished their best uses in regards to the appearance of this idiot.
Seeing Shen Yifeng ‘show his concern’ for Shen Yanxiao, the sage’s smiling expression deepened by a little at the corner of his lips, but inside his eyes, a beam of expression that people couldn’t grasp flashed.

“Your Highness Sage, is the Vermillion Bird inside?” Shen Jiayi swallowed her saliva. As she looked at the cave that the heatwave was surging out of, the bottom of her heart began to emit a trace of dread. The God’s Domain was well known for its benevolence, so she’d deliberately displayed her loveliness, pitifulness, and shyness as she’d stood beside the sage, in order to win his favourable impression.
The sage shot a glance towards Shen Jiayi and nodded his head.
“The Vermillion Bird is indeed inside. There’s no need to worry, for as of right now, the Vermillion Bird is in a state of dormancy, and it won’t harm anyone.”
After everyone had finished making their preparations, they finally headed into the pitch-black cave.
The 18 God’s envoys were split into 2 batches, with one of the batches at the front clearing the way, while the other batch walked behind everyone else to prevent any unexpected occurrences.
After having headed into the cave, the God’s envoys whom were in front immediately let loose the Light Congealing Crystals that were in their hands, and allowed them to fly. Light Congealing Crystals were a type of extraordinary material that could be used for illumination. It only needed a magician to pour his magic into the crystal. It’d then float in mid air after it was let go, and would send out a dazzling and dull light halo to serve as an illumination torch.
Along this journey, at least a dozen Congealing LIght Crystals illuminated the pitch-black cave.
Only afterwards did the people noticed the dim red light that winked and flashed from the walls of the cave. The long, thin red marks resembled buried magma, as they flashed with supernatural light, like countless blood-red vines growing throughout the cave.
Shen Yanxiao was walking behind everyone’s back, with her big eyes sweeping across these strange red mark. Faintly, she smelt a puff of an exceedingly thin yet very eccentric smell.
It was somewhat fragrant and sweet, but also somewhat fishy. This smell made her somewhat at a loss.
The pitch-black darkness of the cave expanded unboundedly. With the passing of the time, when people looked back in the direction of the cave’s entrance, there wasn’t any scene that could be seen—there was only the radiance-covered Light Congealing Crystals.
“Just how much longer do we need to walk? It’s getting hotter and hotter here.” Shen Jiawei was somewhat afraid. He closely followed at Shen Jiayi to the side. Even under the protection of the Ice Silk Armour, he still felt that the high temperature was becoming more and more unbearable. Drop after drop of beads of sweat were seeping out of his forehead, and a layer of blush had also appeared on his face.
Within this party of people, apart from Shen Yanxiao who couldn’t cultivate magic and Dou Qi, Shen Jiawei’s strength was considered to be the lowest. Towards the high temperature that was brought about by the Vermillion Bird, it truly was somewhat hard to bear with his strength.
“I don’t know. We should be reaching it soon. Try to bear with it.” Shen Jiayi’s mind was also uncertain. Looking at the flushing complexion of his brother, she was suddenly very curious on just what the circumstances that idiot was in, in this kind of unbearably torrid and hot place.
Shen Jiayi turned her head and looked at Shen Yanxiao who was walking behind her. She’d originally believed that she herself would see the sheet of a face that was dripping with sweat and that was utterly exhausted. However, Shen Yanxiao whom was walking behind them nevertheless just looked like that she was alright. Don’t speak about her dripping with sweat, for not even a drop of sweat could be found on that small unprepossessing face.
This was strange, for even she, whom was on the eve of breaking through to rank 6, would somewhat felt that torrid heat here. How was it that there unexpectedly wasn’t even the slightest bit of anomaly with her?
The disparity between before one reached rank 6 and after one reached rank 6 in Dou Qi and magic were enormous. Shen Jiayi had cultivated to rank 5, but she hadn’t surmounted rank 6. Therefore, she had no way to completely resist the high temperature here, only those that had succeeded in promoting oneself to rank 6 and higher could. Shen Yifeng, who’d already became a 3-star Sword Scholar, didn’t receive the slightest influence.
However, what was the matter with this Shen Yanxiao? She was obviously a trash that couldn’t even cultivate, so how could she be even more relaxed than Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei?
