Chapter 842: The Fire God Cavern
Tang San couldn't help but shake his head with a hint of helplessness, but at the same time, he felt a pair of heated eyes watching him. Instinctively, he looked over, only to meet Huo Ling'er's burning gaze.
"If you want the Fire God's Scepter's protection, you'll have to be with me, because I'm the heir to the scepter, the Fire God's emissary. No one in the clan has ever caught my eye before. You're strong, and I like you," Huo Ling'er declared bluntly, leaving Tang San feeling a little flustered.
"I don't actually need the Fire God's protection," Tang San quickly replied.
The Firedawn clan leader, who had been flying ahead, immediately stopped, and his expression darkened. "Then what did you mean when you said you would fulfill the agreement?"
Tang San realized he was being severely misunderstood and quickly explained himself. "Don't get me wrong. I simply wish to help the Firedawn clan. Gaining your friendship is more than enough. I have no need for the Fire God's power, and I have no intention of taking it from you, whether you offer it to me or not."
Huo Quan was taken aback. "So what you're saying is... you're helping us just because?"
He found this hard to believe. Was there really such a thing as a free meal? Power that could stabilize and revitalize the Fire God's Scepter always came at a cost, and no one knew that better than him.
Tang San said earnestly, "Exactly. I'm willing to help your clan for free and stabilize the divinity of the Fire God's Scepter."
Huo Quan replied in a deep voice, "Follow me." With that, he sped up and flew toward the center of Fire God City.
