The girl blushed slightly, but Chu Nan was not surprised. He placed the entire pot of beef in front of the girl and prepared a new pot.
Perhaps it was because of her previous experience or because she was indeed too hungry, the girl did not spend much time being shy and ate in large mouthfuls.
The cave was filled with the fragrance of meat and gravy again.
Due to the fact that her injuries were lighter than last time, the girl had exhausted far less life force in the recovery process than last time. The supplements needed were naturally not as good as last time.
Therefore, this time, it only took half an hour. After the girl ate three large pots of fragrant beef, she announced that she was full.
Seeing that she had stopped eating, Chu Nan stopped what he was doing and looked at her. He pointed outside and made a flying gesture with his hands to represent the Blazing Flame Bird. Then, he waved his hand and gestured for the girl to stop.
The girl looked at Chu Nan in a daze before understanding.
However, she did not show any signs of retreating. Instead, she pointed out of the cave and gestured a few times.
Due to her fast actions, Chu Nan did not know what she wanted to say, but from her firm expression, he knew that his persuasion was probably in vain.
Chu Nan could not help but frown.
This girl clearly could not defeat the Blazing Flame Bird, so why was she so insistent on going?
Could it be that she had some difficulties?
However, what difficulties were more important than her life?
It was unknown if the girl could see through Chu Nan’s thoughts, but she wiped her mouth in an extremely elegant and obedient posture as usual. She suddenly stood up and solemnly bowed to him that he did not understand. Then, she pointed outside the cave and at herself. Then, she pointed at Chu Nan and gestured to stop with a firm expression.
After doing this, she turned around and rushed out of the cave without any hesitation.
“This girl… is courting death again?” Chu Nan rolled his eyes, “You don’t want me to follow? Are you really going to commit suicide?”
Chu Nan ignored the girl’s expression. His hope of leaving this planet and returning to civilization was pinned on her, so how could he let her die casually?
With a tap of his feet, Chu Nan also darted out of the cave. He did not need to look around and directly flew towards the Blazing Flame Bird’s nest.
As expected, not long after, Chu Nan discovered the girl’s traces in the sky.
This time, Chu Nan did not chase after him. Instead, he followed from afar.
The two of them spent about half an hour flying above the Blazing Flame Bird’s nest again.
Without a word, the girl rushed down.
Therefore, another intense battle shook the ground.
This time, the girl lasted longer than before and had already vaguely gained the upper hand in the battle.
However, she still could not last long. Before long, another ball of black gas emerged from her body, and was sent flying by the Blazing Flame Bird’s wing.
Chu Nan immediately flew forward and hugged her before flying back to the cave.
Next, he continued to repeat what had happened. Chu Nan treated her injuries and stewed the meat before watching her finish it.
Chu Nan could not be bothered to ask further and only looked at her quietly.
If he was not wrong, the girl would definitely not give up and still want to find trouble with that Blazing Flame Bird.
However, this time, the girl did not rush out like before. Instead, she looked at Chu Nan timidly and frowned in thought for a long time with an extremely hesitant expression.
After a long time, the girl finally seemed to have made up her mind. She stood up and took out a small and exquisite accessory from her bosom. She handed it to Chu Nan and pointed outside the cave before pointing at him and gesturing.
Chu Nan was a little amused.
“What? You finally understand that you can’t deal with it alone and decided to ask me for help? This thing… can be considered a commission for hiring me?” Chu Nan looked at the accessory in the girl’s hand and thought for a moment before reaching out to take it.
The girl immediately heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smile. She pointed outside the cave and revealed a questioning expression.
“Let’s go.” Chu Nan stood up and walked out of the cave.
This time, the girl did not stop him. Instead, she followed behind.
Half an hour later, the two of them flew above the nest where the Blazing Flame Bird was.
Just as Chu Nan was about to rush down and attack, he was stopped by the girl.
Looking at the girl’s flustered limbs, Chu Nan finally understood what she meant.
It turned out that she did not want Chu Nan to help deal with the Blazing Flame Bird. Instead, she only watched from the side and still wanted to fight it alone.
“A masochist?” Chu Nan rolled his eyes and felt helpless.
Since the girl insisted on doing this, he could only let her be.
In any case, with him watching, the girl was not worried about dying.
Moreover, on second thought, every time he treated the girl, Chu Nan would know more about the strange Internal Breath in her body.
If it happened a few more times, he might really push out her entire cultivation method.
Therefore, Chu Nan did not stop her. He flew to the side and waved his hand as if he was watching a show, letting the girl go down herself.
The girl heaved a sigh of relief. She clenched her fists and made an encouraging gesture for herself before flying down.
There was no need to elaborate on what happened next.
Although the girl lasted longer than before, she still could not cross the boundary where her body and cultivation method conflicted. After fighting with the Blazing Flame Bird for more than ten minutes, a ball of black gas emerged from her entire body again. Just like the previous few times, she could not control her body and fell without the strength to fight again.
This time, Chu Nan flew up and picked her up. The girl did not have a surprised and struggling expression like before. Instead, she only revealed an apologetic smile to Chu Nan and allowed him to carry her back.
Healing, stewing meat, eating meat, sleeping…
After completing a series of actions that were repeated a few times, the girl did not give herself any more time to rest. After gesturing to Chu Nan for an affirmative answer, she rushed out of the cave with him again.
Next, he repeated the intense battle with the Blazing Flame Bird. The girl could not endure the impact of the strange Internal Breath in her body again and was defeated.
Therefore, Chu Nan carried her back again to treat her injuries, stew meat, eat meat, sleep…
In the next three days, the girl and Chu Nan did nothing else and repeated this cycle.
In these short three days, the girl had actually fought that Blazing Flame Bird 17 times.
While healing her, the meat of the seven Lightning Giant Spiritual Bulls that Chu Nan had stored had been eaten by the two of them. 90% of it had fallen into the girl’s stomach and he had only taken the time to eat a few.
On the morning of the fourth day, just as the girl was about to rush out of the cave after a night of rest, Chu Nan pulled her back and shook his head.
“Don’t go. You can’t do this.”
