Chapter 868 - It’s All Good… (1/2)

Chapter 868: It’s All Good…

“This again. Can’t you just say it directly?!” Pinocchio grunted.

Bai Xiaofei was speechless. This was definitely the worst that he had been verbally slain!

“I heard that the core of the Puppysmith Holy Mountain is a fire-attribute formation. I want to see it,” Bai Xiaofei could not be more direct this time.

Unexpectedly, Pinocchio froze.

“What the hell?!” Pinocchio’s voice pierced the sky one moment later.

The frightened Bai Xiaofei instinctively trembled. “What’s wrong? Is it not convenient to ask?” he asked tentatively and at the same time began to think about how to trick Pinocchio into agreeing.

However, the situation was not quite the same as he imagined.

“Convenience is secondary. What I want to ask is, are you tired of living?” Pinocchio looked at Bai Xiaofei like looking at an idiot.

“What… does that… mean?” Bai Xiaofei’s face was blank as he swallowed back his paragraph of reasons. The feeling of punching the air was really uncomfortable.

“The reason why you can stand here and talk to me like a normal person is because you are wearing a Fire Storing Crystal. Without it, you may already be cooked, and the temperature here is not even one-thousandth of the core. When you get there, even the best Fire Storing Crystal is useless. So tell me, aren’t you seeking death?” Pinocchio explained.

Bai Xiaofei couldn’t help thinking of the heatwave when he first arrived at the Puppetsmith Holy Mountain. “Aunt Gold, what he said is true, right?” he asked Golden Feather within his sea of consciousness.

Golden Feather looked nonchalant. “Don’t worry, the heat won’t get to you with me here, not to mention that you still have the Endless State. Just find a way to convince him without exposing my existence.”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei immediately regained confidence.

“You don’t have to worry about this, Senior. I have a way to cope with the temperature at the core. And I promise that I will not do anything unfavorable to the formation,” he said with utmost sincerity.

Pinocchio pondered a little before opening his mouth, “You certainly don’t have the guts. If something goes wrong with the Puppetsmith Holy Mountain, the whole Ethereal Empire will go after your head, so your guarantee is bullshit anyway. What I want to know is, what do you want there? That place has nothing but heat.” He looked curiously at Bai Xiaofei.

“I won’t hide this from you. I have a hidden disease and an expert once told me that they could only be resolved by the baptism of the purest fire. That’s why I came here right after graduation, I can’t think of a better place than the Puppetsmith Holy Mountain.” Bai Xiaofei’s ability to lie allowed him to put together a perfect excuse without stuttering.

“Alright, you wait!” Pinocchio said as he took out a pen and paper from his storage ring and quickly wrote something. “Sign it and I’ll send you there.”

Doubtfully receiving the paper, Bai Xiaofei read it. Cold sweat trickled down his face the next second.

This old man… Damn you!!

What was written could roughly be summed up like this: Pinocchio was only responsible for sending Bai Xiaofei to the core of the formation. Whatever happened to Bai Xiaofei afterward would have nothing to do with him!
