Chapter 1458: Chapter 1329: Fire Coffin (Two-in-One)_2
"Little Sister Su Ran, hurry up and call your Firebird back, I’m dying from the heat!"
Even with a shield, Youtong couldn’t block the scorching temperature. Fine beads of sweat coated her forehead, and she couldn’t help but complain about the Firebird. The coffin was already hot enough, and yet it kept adding fuel to the fire!
"The temperature... still isn’t high enough!"
Cream Puff, however, voiced the opposite concern, her gaze fixed on Su Ran in the corner, her face filled with worry, "Spilt Water still isn’t thawed out, everyone just hang in there a little longer."
"Dude, you’re saying Spilt Water has been struck by millennium ice? With such intense heat and still not thawing out, what a joke!"
The Big Smoker wiped off sweat, continuing, "Little Sister Su Ran, if it doesn’t work, let your Firebird give it all it’s got and grill it. I refuse to believe we can’t break the ice seal this way!"
"I’ll try."
Under Cream Puff’s command, the Firebird reluctantly moved toward Su Ran, but unfortunately it was of no use. The layer of ice around Su Ran showed no signs of melting.
Suddenly, flames burst violently, burning fiercely on the coffin, and the temperature in the space rose once more.
"Jesus, it’s too hot, sauna sessions have never been this bad!"
The Big Smoker complained as he was pushed by the heat wave to the rock wall, "If only I had a smoke, I could have one to cool down!"
"You dare!"
Youtong immediately spun around, glaring hard at the Big Smoker, "Try smoking one and see what happens!"
"Cough cough, I’ve given it up a long time ago, was just talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously..."
The Big Smoker was so named because of his love for cigarettes. Hearing Youtong’s words, his heart instantly chilled by half, he couldn’t even feel the scorching temperature around him anymore.
The flames on the coffin kept rising, and the cover couldn’t withstand such high temperatures, turning to ash and revealing the scene inside.
Unfortunately, the flames obstructed their view and they could not see what was hidden underneath, which made Cream Puff and the others anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
"For the sake of rescuing brother Spilt Water, let’s give it our all!"
The Big Smoker felt it was his moment to shine, he roared and, steeling himself, he dashed forward, bypassing the coffin and running towards Su Ran.
"Little Tong, your man seems to be losing it."
"I think so too, what’s he adding chaos to at such a crucial moment! Wait till he gets back, I’ll teach him a lesson!"
Youtong couldn’t understand why the Big Smoker suddenly acted crazy and instinctively focused her attention on him.
"Brother Spilt Water, hope you don’t mind!"
Arriving beside Su Ran, the Big Smoker mumbled something, not caring whether Su Ran could hear or not, he picked him up and started running. He did not expect a burst of cold air to surge from the ice sculpture into his body, sending shivers down his spine, the chilly sensation was indescribably refreshing from head to toe.
"Ha ha, brother Spilt Water, you truly are a treasure for beating the heat!"
The Big Smoker laughed heartily, unconcerned with others’ opinions, holding Su Ran tightly in his arms, enjoying this rare coolness, even more comfortable than air conditioning!
...
The three women were completely stunned, shocked by the Big Smoker’s unusual behavior as if they were meeting him for the first time, not sure how to react.
"Little Tong, when did your Ghost-Ghost swing that way?"
Gu Yue asked, dumbstruck, finding the reality hard to accept.
"Don’t ask me, I’m clueless. If he has swung that way, I’d straighten him out no matter what!" Youtong fumed, grinding her teeth, "Thinks he can just woo me and then stop caring? Not that easy! I will never let him off in this lifetime!"
"Whoa? Little Tong, who would’ve thought you were such a devoted woman, a rarity in today’s society!"
"I’m no devoted woman, just telling it like it is. But, if Ghost-Ghost has a crush on brother Spilt Water, I can understand that, after all, given brother Spilt Water’s charm, it wouldn’t be too much if he appealed to both men and women..."
Youtong unintentionally revealed a lovestruck expression, even the intense heat around her unnoticed.
"You dare!"
Cream Puff glared at Youtong crossly, what do you mean appealing to both men and women, this brat really dares to say anything!!!
"Yo, Spilt Water isn’t even freaking out yet, but you’re already panicking, Little Sister Su Ran. If you don’t act fast, I might just fall for someone else, haha!"
Youtong’s expression returned to normal, and she began to tease Cream Puff.
"Kid, who are you trying to scare? Just now it was you bending over backwards, not feeling ashamed at all!"
The pretty boy didn’t take it seriously and said carelessly, then worriedly looked at the Smokey Guy, wanting to know what kind of trick he was planning.
However.
To their surprise, the Smokey Guy actually charged towards the fiery coffin, with a moth-to-the-flame kind of vibe.
"Ghostie, don’t do anything rash!"
"Even if you’re feeling down, you can’t involve Overturning Water Bro. Let him go; if there’s something troubling you, just tell us, and we’ll try to talk you through it!"
The three women immediately panicked, not knowing what dangers lurked inside the coffin, yet daring to barge in recklessly – that’s just asking for trouble!
Hearing that, the Smokey Guy stumbled and his face showed embarrassment. What do you mean by causing trouble for Overturning Water? Is his life really worth so little?
At that moment, he felt the urge to throw the ice sculpture straight into the fiery coffin.
However, for the greater good, for future happiness, the Smokey Guy held back. He lifted the ice sculpture vehemently, laid it over the coffin, and started rotating it – anyone who didn’t know better would think he was barbecuing...
If he added some cumin, it would really be fitting.
"It seems we misunderstood him. He’s trying to save Overturning Water, risking his life for the rescue. That’s crazy. But on another note, your Ghostie really is strong, managing to hold a person up so effortlessly. Impressive."
Gu Yue looked at the scene in astonishment. An adult, in Smokey Guy’s hands, was just like a puppet - it was so exaggerated!
"What are you talking about? He gets tired after holding me for a while; where did he get such strength? Must be because of the freezing effect, nothing to be amazed at."
Youtong felt embarrassed as soon as she finished speaking and her face reddened, "Oops, said too much, don’t mind me, haha!"
"You two are officially dating now; there’s nothing to be shy about embracing for a while!"
Gu Yue felt somewhat envious inside. The feeling of being in love is really nice...
Not just Gu Yue, but even the Smokey Guy himself found it unbelievable.
He couldn’t believe he was this strong, feeling like he could lift Su Ran with just one hand – considering the weight of an adult male, at least a hundred and something pounds, right?
Truly bizarre!
As the fiery coffin continued to burn, the ice crystals adorning Su Ran’s body began to melt, the liquid dripping into the coffin and instantaneously turning into steam, obscuring the women’s view with a layer of mist.
"This could work!"
Seeing this, the Smokey Guy’s eyes gleamed with delight, rolling the ice sculpture even more frequently. If he could save Overturning Water from the ice, that would be a great achievement!
After this ordeal, Youtong would surely see him in a new light, the path to applause for love just got a lot shorter, the thought was exciting!
However.
What the Smokey Guy never expected was that the moment the icy state disappeared, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained also vanished into a white light.
"No way? Did Brother Overturning Water already kick the bucket?"
After busying about to no avail, the Smokey Guy found it hard to accept how things played out, but before he had much time to think, a wave of heat struck, flipping him through the air.
"Smokey Guy, watch out!"
"Danger, get away from the coffin!"
With Overturning Water having disappeared, the three women didn’t want to see Smokey Guy meet his end and hurriedly shouted warnings, hoping he wouldn’t do anything foolish.
"I’m fine, not dead yet!"
The Smokey Guy spat disdainfully, healing himself while running towards the team.
Suddenly.
The fiery coffin exploded violently, the blast roaring in all directions. The Smokey Guy, being closest to the site, was the most unfortunate, thrown into the air again with no chance to dodge.
The women’s predicament wasn’t much better. Hit by the blast, they were smashed against the grave walls – the scene was as tragic as it gets.
Not only that, but the tomb itself couldn’t withstand the force of the explosion and was torn apart, exposing everyone to the outside.
As for the Firebird, it was sucked into the coffin and quickly engulfed by the flames, whether dead or alive, was up to fate.
At this critical moment, why Su Ran disappeared – whether it triggered a special quest or if he was gone for good, no one present knew the reason.
