The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Capítulo 1092: Chapter 1092: A False Burning Sun

The natural light was still present at first, but as they went deeper, it gradually became so dark that they couldn’t see their own hands.

Shen Cang felt the little girl in his arms snuggle closer, seemingly frightened.

The little boy whose hand he was holding also tightened his grip, likely nervous as well.

Shen Cang sighed and silently chanted, “Fire, rise.”

Two flames appeared on his shoulders, illuminating the surroundings.

Little Taotie was startled for a moment, then curious. She extended her fair, tender little hand to gently touch the flame, feeling no burning sensation that flames should have.

“Don’t touch randomly.” Shen Cang said helplessly.

Little Taotie retracted her little hand, blinked her eyes, looking innocent.

With the surroundings lit up, the little girl’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked around.

All around were trees, Cangtian Great Trees.

This place seemed like a dense forest, yet the air lacked the scent of vegetation.

Little Taotie took a gentle breath, once again catching a scent that attracted her, growing stronger as they ventured further in.

She pointed in a direction, “Head Grandpa, over there!”

“The scent?” Shen Cang asked.

Little Taotie nodded, her small head bobbing like a garlic pounding, eyes shining brightly.

Shen Cang walked in the direction Little Taotie pointed, where the extreme darkness would lead to light on the other side.

Like the saying, ‘After darkness comes light,’ a brightness appeared ahead. As they walked forward into another area, the sunlight was bright, the sky clear. In the mountains, a village appeared, surrounded by maple trees, their leaves red and golden, vividly dazzling.

Shen Cang’s shoulder trembled, and the two flames retracted into his shoulder blades, disappearing.

Little Taotie’s legs swung slightly; she seemed to want to walk, but Shen Cang shook his head, still holding her.

The little girl pouted her mouth.

Shen Cang tightened his grip on Hua Jinyan’s hand.

The brightness of this place, instead of the darkness, made people uneasy.

Sensing Shen Cang’s unease, Hua Jinyan looked up, meeting his gaze. Hua Jinyan pursed his lips and spoke, “It’s Ghost Fire.”

Hearing this, Shen Cang was taken aback.

He looked in the direction Hua Jinyan was looking, his gaze falling on the sun hanging high in the sky.

The timing was off; the sun here hung high, as if it were noon, but when they entered the Secret Realm, it was already afternoon. Calculating the time, the sun should have set already.

Shen Cang’s heart tightened, “The sun is an aggregation of Ghost Fire?”

Hua Jinyan’s little face tensed, “Yes.”

Both he and Little Taotie could see the Ghost, a natural sight.

And Shen Cang could also see it, but he belonged to those who saw it through acquired cultivation.

Therefore, after entering the Secret Realm, Shen Cang’s eyes were more easily deceived.

At this moment, in the eyes of Hua Jinyan and Little Taotie, the sun was moving, the inside was moving, occasionally a flame would fall out of place, but it would quickly return to the circle and continue rotating.

Little Taotie nodded, “I see the flames too!”

Shen Cang squinted at the sun but couldn’t see anything unusual. However, he believed that the two children wouldn’t joke about such matters.

Shen Cang closed his eyes and opened them again, briefly flashing a Golden Light; in that short moment, he saw, capturing the abnormality within the sun, seeing flames dancing in clusters.

The Ghost Fire illuminated this place, and the mountains, water, trees, even the villages here were likely illusions.

Shen Cang felt an urge to retreat.

Just a blazing sun had already confused him. If he ventured further, everything ahead would be out of control, making it hard to protect the two children.

“Let’s go back.” Shen Cang sighed.

This place, it seems, could only be explored collectively by masters from various countries, as before.

“You are here, why not come into the village for a bit?”

As Shen Cang turned around, he saw an old man blocking their path, smiling kindly and hospitably, genuinely inviting them as guests.
