508 Possess, Demon King! Part Two (2/2)
”Eat it quick,” said Mo Fan to the Fiery Sorceress.
The Fire Calamity Fruit was the only way to save her life. Now that the Demoness was dead, everything would be back to normal once the Fiery Sorceress ate the Fire Calamity Fruit.
However, the Fiery Sorceress shook her head.
She held the Fire Calamity Fruit and stared at it with a gentle and loving look.
Everyone was utterly confused by the scene. The Fire Calamity Fruit was priceless, yet it was not as precious as the Fiery Sorceress' life. Why would the Fiery Sorceress rather die instead of eating the Fire Calamity Fruit?
Mo Fan stared at the Fiery Sorceress in confusion. The Fiery Sorceress was still holding the Fire Calamity Fruit, as if she were waiting for something.
Mo Fan was about to say something when the Fiery Sorceress gently blew all her remaining energy at the Fire Calamity Fruit...
The breeze swept past him. Mo Fan could sense the Fiery Sorceress' remaining life force in it. He was so shocked that he totally forgot to stop her!
-Is the Fiery Sorceress out of her mind? Why didn't she just eat the Fire Calamity Fruit to sustain her life? Why would she blow her last breath that contained her remaining life force on the fruit? It's only a fruit, she can still get one after the next Fire Calamity!-
”What are you doing?” asked Mo Fan.
The Fiery Sorceress did not answer. She gently held the Fire Calamity Fruit in her hands...
Suddenly, the sturdy shell of the Fire Calamity Fruit cracked open. A part of it sprang up and fell to the ground.
A tiny hand reached out from the shell. The creature inside the fruit seemed extremely eager to see the outside world, as its hand was grabbing out wildly, trying to smash the shell open.
The little arm was around the thickness of Mo Fan's finger, yet it had the properties of fire, but was weak like candlelight. It felt like the air of a heavy breath alone was enough to extinguish it.
”Is this...” Mo Fan stared at the Fire Calamity Fruit that had been broken into pieces in astonishment.
The little creature inside the Fire Calamity Fruit had broken free from the Fruit's layer of protection. Unlike most creatures that would be crying in a fairly weak state, the unique creature that was made of fire seemed to be quite energetic. After breaking out of the shell, it picked up the pieces of the Fire Calamity Fruit and chewed on them like a squirrel!
Tiny arms, small legs, and a small, round body. The tiny, elegant creature looked like a porcelain doll, and it sounded like a kitten who had just been fed!
”It's the Flame Belle,” came Xinxia's calm voice.
Mo Fan's eyes widened in disbelief.
The Flame Belle that he was looking for desperately had been hiding inside the Fire Calamity Fruit all along...
That was not right!
The Fire Calamity Fruit was the Flame Belle itself. The unique creature was born from the Fire Calamity Fruit!
Mo Fan finally remembered that Chen Yi had mentioned how one would have to look for the Fire Calamity Fruit immediately after the Fire Calamity, as it would disappear fairly quickly...
It was obvious that the Fire Calamity Fruit did not disappear, but was the end of the embryo stage for a creature that had hatched, and that creature was the Flame Belle!
The Fiery Sorceress was not just protecting some priceless treasure, but an actual life… a youngling.
”The Fire Calamity only happens once after many years, and the Starry Tree only bears a Fire Calamity Fruit after the Fire Calamity, which is the Flame Belle in her embryo stage. Jiang Feng was saved by an aged Flame Belle, who sacrificed a Flame Belle that was not born yet in exchange for her life...”
