Chapter 263: Life 74, Age 16, Martial Disciple 1
When I awoke in my tiny house, I breathed a deep sigh of relief. The pain of burning alive had vanished. In a couple of hours, once the memories of my past life faded into the background, the agony I had experienced would be nothing more than a distant dream.
To speed this process up, I focused on my newly acquired fire seed.
Hot Springs Fire, Yellow-Rank, Elements: Water/Fire, Consumes: Energy, Produces: Water/Heat
Seeing that the fire was only Yellow-Rank, I almost wanted to laugh. Supercharged by an abundance of metal essence, this fire had seemed closer to Earth-Rank. Still, I wouldn’t complain. Yellow-Rank was fine. I just needed it to be able to supply my storage space with an endless stream of water.
Speaking of my storage space, since I had a moment of downtime, I decided to check how things were going in there.
ShouLi stood on a small rock outcropping, surrounded by the other members of the leadership council. The elder who had replaced GuiMing had not been allowed to join us, so GuiMing had resumed his original position until a replacement could be appointed.
While everyone appeared somber, Liang showed signs of irritation.
“When is the Ancestor going to contact us? I am extremely grateful to him for saving my father, but he didn’t give us a chance to tell him about the problems with this place. If things don’t change soon, people are going to start rioting.”
ShouLi dropped her head. “I’m sure he has his reasons. We just have to endure. We have enough food for a few more days, and we can survive without housing. Just… Do your best. I’m sure he will contact us when he has time.”
