Chapter 1017 - 967: Should a Good Person Go All the Way?

"Hmm, smells so good!"

At the edge of the Flame Abyss.

Surrounded by a sea of fire.

Chen Futu, sitting cross-legged on the ground, said with a face filled with indulgent satisfaction.

The mother dog, skinned and gutted, was now almost fully roasted.

The aroma from the various seasonings sprinkled on it spread everywhere.

Chen Futu learned these tricks from Qin Fan.

Otherwise, how would he have the chance to enjoy all those delicacies from Earth?

Admittedly, Chen Futu had a foodie instinct that surpassed Qin Fan’s under his influence.

Just judging by the aroma, Qin Fan couldn’t match it at all.

Yet amidst his enjoyment.

Splash!

The mother dog, nearly done roasting on the rack, was tipped over onto the ground.

Covered in dirt!

"Damn it!"

Caught off guard, with his efforts spoiled, Chen Futu shouted tearlessly.

Zoom!

As he spoke.

Qin Fan came riding on the fire dog.

"Damn it, did you do it on purpose? I put so much effort into roasting it and it was meant for us to enjoy together, what do you mean by this! Even though I can’t beat you, you still can’t bully me like this!"

Seeing Qin Fan riding the fire dog back from the sea of fire, Chen Futu shouted angrily.

"Woof woof woof!"

"Woof woof woof!"

"Woof woof woof!"

Baring its indestructible tusks, the fire dog immediately roared at Chen Futu.

If not for its master, it would really want to waste this guy!

Outside, despite its top-notch escape skills, the fire dog could not handle Chen Futu, but here in the Flame Mountain, it could easily mess with him.

Actually, the nearly roasted mother dog wasn’t tipped over by Qin Fan, it was the handiwork of the fire dog. Not to mention they’re of the same kind, but the mother dog was a former mate. Although it died from rough handling, Chen Futu had no rights to roast it!

Eating a fellow former mate in front of it—how could it stand that!

"Does this look like the Flame Holy Lotus?"

Too lazy to explain, even more to bother with Chen Futu.

Qin Fan took out the Flame Holy Lotus.

"Already got it?"

At the mention of the Flame Holy Lotus, Chen Futu let go of the dog-roasting issue.

He hurried over to Qin Fan, eyes wide, and exclaimed uncontrollably upon seeing the Lotus encased in magma, "My god, a Flame Holy Lotus encased in magma! This—this, it’s really encased!"

"Is there a difference?" Qin Fan, puzzled by Chen Futu’s reaction, frowned.

"Of course, there’s a difference! If we must estimate, a Lotus encased in magma is worth more than ten times the normal one! Is there a difference! I heard Liu Yunyan say if it’s encased in magma and fused with other materials, the refined pill would withstand celestial tribulations! But she mentioned it was unrealistic to find such a Lotus! She’d be satisfied with a normal one, yet here you go and find a magma-encased one? Damn! Are there more, just this one? Why didn’t you pick a few more?"

Breathing rapidly, Chen Futu excitedly reached out and carefully took the Flame Holy Lotus from Qin Fan, thrilled.

"None left! Just this one! Keep it safe, give it to her later! Remember, don’t mention me!"

Uninterested in the magma encased thing, Qin Fan knew Liu Yunyan needed it.

Dropping these words, Qin Fan gestured to leave.

But Chen Futu quickly said, "Hold on?"

"Something else?" Qin Fan raised an eyebrow.

"You truly don’t want to meet Yanyan beauty? If you show up with the Flame Holy Lotus before her, she’d be moved to tears! Forget three days and nights, even five days and nights would be fine!"

Putting away the Flame Holy Lotus, Chen Futu said slyly.

"Buzz off!" Qin Fan snapped.

"See, see, upset again! When will you quit this temper? Tell me, when did you return? Did the news spread?" Chen Futu smiled.

Qin Fan was clearly uninterested in discussing these trivial matters.

He patted the fire dog, intending to fly away.

"Hey hey hey—wait, wait!"

Seeing Qin Fan unmoved, Chen Futu anxiously shouted.

"My patience is limited. If you keep babbling nonsense, don’t blame me for letting Xiao Huo deal with you!" Qin Fan impatiently said, clearly not joking.

His personality subtly changed after returning from Earth.

Otherwise, Chen Futu would already be running for his life in Cangqiong Continent.

"Alright, let me get to the point. Three days from now that auction, are you going?"

Knowing when to stop, Chen Futu seriously spoke.

"Do you think I’d be interested in the auction?" Qin Fan prompted.

"Yes, I know! You, Shura Venerable wouldn’t be interested in auctions, even if interested, broke as you are, you wouldn’t have crystals to bid. You’d rather snatch or threaten someone to deliver it, right?" As one who knew Qin Fan well, Chen Futu said with a smirk.

He was quite envious of Qin Fan.

If he needed something, he either snatched it or threatened others into delivering it—how carefree and thrilling!

If he had the capability, he’d want to replicate Qin Fan’s approach.

Unfortunately, other than trickery, he had nothing else to offer.

Intimidation was absurd; despite the fame of "Changeling Chen Futu," no one feared him. His shape-shifting and deceptive tactics kept him alive constantly.

His help in obtaining the Flame Holy Lotus wasn’t due to his cultivation but his unique Fire Extinguishing Secret Technique. Only a few knew, with Liu Yunyan being one, prompting her request for help.

"Are you sure you aren’t rambling nonsense right now?"

Qin Fan frowned, feeling slightly impatient.

"My bad, got sidetracked! I’ll speak properly, okay, here’s the deal. Three days from now at the Five Elements Auction, many will aim for Red Cloud Grass and Dragon Whisker. Normally, Yunyan Sect’s funds could manage, but what if things turn abnormal? Yunyan beauty’s Mahayana Tribulation is fast approaching, news leaked by sect traitors also reveals she needs the Red Cloud Grass and Dragon Whisker to make Tribulation Pills. So, trouble is expected! Those sects opposed to Yunyan Sect or envious demonesses won’t want her successfully transcending into the Mahayana. To ensure all goes well, shouldn’t you go help her?"
