What do you mean you also want to return to the world?

Chapter 18 Let's take action together!

That stupid bird is burning his crotch!

No, that's not right, this stupid bird wants to burn him to the ground!

At this moment, the crimson body was rapidly heating up. Shi Yan could even clearly see that the blood vessels under her fair skin were turning bright red and conspicuous at a visible speed, as if what was surging in those blood vessels was not blood, but molten lava.

In just a few seconds, Shi Yan felt his hands, which were in direct contact with the crimson skin, were blistered, and the intense pain made him unable to exert any strength.

Scarlet immediately seized the opportunity, flipping over like a carp leaping out of its shell, and directly pinning Shi Yan down beneath her.

The offensive and defensive momentum is different!

The syringe that had been inserted into her chest fell to the ground, and the blood dripping from the needle left burn marks on the floor.

"You want to extract my life essence!" Crimson, having switched sides, was still furious. "Who do you think you are? A mere human dares to take yourself too seriously!"

"Cough cough cough..."

At this moment, Crimson was riding on Shi Yan's back. Her clothes were tattered due to the sudden increase in body temperature. If she were a normal beautiful girl, it would definitely be an alluring picture of spring. But this was a volatile flamingo, and what was exposed was not spring, but deadly flames, so Shi Yan dared not have any other thoughts and surrendered decisively.

"Alright, alright, if you don't want it, then don't." Shi Yan pretended to be very pragmatic. "I don't want it anymore, let go."

But in reality, Shi Yan's left hand was still slowly moving towards the syringe.

It wasn't that they hadn't gained anything before; quite a bit of blood had already been drawn, and they only needed a little more to finish. How could Shi Yan give up at a time like this?

Even if Scarlet is dense, how could she not see such a movement happening right under her nose?

In fact, Scarlet Flush was so furious at Shi Yan's audacious behavior that she laughed instead.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, like phoenix feathers, and the corners of her mouth turned up, outlining an eerie and dangerous arc.

"Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance."

Upon hearing this, a sense of unease welled up in Shi Yan's heart. He looked up and saw that Fei Hong had released her arms from his grasp, and then leisurely sat down at the other end of the sofa, one hand supporting her breasts and the other propping up her cheek, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Come on, I'll sit right here," Crimson said. "If you want my essence blood, come and take it."

As she spoke, Scarlet's body leaned forward slightly, allowing Shi Yan to see more clearly a small bloodstain in her full cleavage—this was the mark Shi Yan had left earlier.

Despite knowing it was a trap, Shi Yan had no other choice. He endured the burning pain from before, leaped up from the sofa, grabbed the syringe from the floor, and prepared to pounce on Scarlet.

Just then, he heard a crisp snap of fingers, accompanied by a soft "Burn" from Crimson.

With a "whoosh".

Shi Yan burst into flames instantly—in a physical sense. He didn't even understand what was happening before his entire body was turned into firewood. Blood-red flames devoured his body, and the intense pain nearly made him faint.

"Here, this is the power you wanted, my primordial flame—Crimson." Crimson looked at Shi Yan mockingly. "My Crimson can burn not only the body, but also the soul. Whether you're a demon or a human, once you're entangled by my Crimson, well... Hey, why am I telling you so much? You should be able to feel it clearly by now, right?"

Shi Yan could indeed feel it very clearly. The flames were not burning from the outside in, but from the inside out, as if they were directly igniting his blood.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't fall into a coma any longer, Shi Yan would probably have already lost consciousness from the pain.

But it was precisely because of the consciousness space that Shi Yan was able to hold on and not fall down, and shakily picked up the syringe from the ground.

"Oh? You're still going to persist?" Scarlet looked at Shi Yan with interest. "Your willpower is quite strong."

Shi Yan really didn't want to persist; he wanted to return to the real world right now. But he also knew that if he didn't succeed this time, it would be even less likely to succeed next time.

As the saying goes, "One should press on with one's might, but the momentum will wane after a second attempt, and exhaust it completely after a third." Shi Yan must make sure to strike this decisively today, no matter what.

So, holding the syringe, he endured the pain and walked step by step to Scarlet.

To be honest, he doesn't know how he managed to persevere; he can only say that he used all his willpower on this from childhood to adulthood.

And just then, the flames went out, and the excruciating pain receded like a receding tide.

Shi Yan was stunned, not understanding what "crimson" meant.

"You're not bad, are you?" Crimson said leisurely, arms crossed and legs crossed. "Since you were able to come to me amidst the flames, I'll keep my word and give you my blood. Just like you said, consider it rent."

That's it?

Shi Yan could hardly believe it.

Would this guy really be so trustworthy?

Even if he didn't believe it, Shi Yan breathed a heavy sigh of relief upon hearing this, feeling a surge of relief as if he had survived a disaster.

He really didn't want to experience that kind of pain again.

But at that moment, Shi Yan noticed that the smile on Fei Hong's lips had deepened, and that her left middle finger and thumb, which had snapped her fingers, were once again touching.

Shi Yan immediately realized that Fei Hong was lying to him!

This guy planned to snap his fingers again when he took action, so that the boy, who had already let his guard down, would experience the pain he had just felt.

Just like many people who jump off buildings regret it the moment they jump. What Crimson wants to do is exactly that—after his will to resist weakens, to make him experience even greater pain!

Although Shi Yan didn't know how he had figured these things out in such a short time, he was certain that Scarlet was planning to do just that.

How could this great demon, who has lived for thousands of years, be so kind as to hand over his essence blood? Even if he really withstands the flames, Crimson will absolutely not keep his promise.

What should I do? What should I do?

Shi Yan's brain raced as he tried to find a solution.

"Crunch."

Just then, a slight sound of a door opening came from the second floor.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked up. He saw that the door to a room on the second floor was half-open, and a blurry figure was standing behind the door.

Shi Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

That guy is...

Scarlet sensed something and instinctively looked up: "What are you looking at...?"

At that moment, Shi Yan, whose brain was working at its limit, suddenly shouted, "Now! I'll help you hold her down, and you can attack from behind!"

Crimson was startled and whirled around, roaring, "You stupid dragon, don't even think about it!"

But when he turned around, he found that there was no one behind him.

We've fallen for their trap!

It was too late for Scarlet to realize this; Shi Yan hugged her from behind, his strength almost flattening her chest.

But that's not the point. The point is that the syringe had been plunged deep into Crimson's chest and had drawn out a large tube of blood with lightning speed.

"You're asking for it!!!"

Enraged, Crimson was about to snap her fingers, but the next second, her body suddenly felt light, and Shi Yan had disappeared.

He left the space of consciousness.

So, in the entire living room, only Crimson remained, naked and filled with impotent rage.

"Aaaaaah!" She was trembling with rage. "I'll kill him sooner or later!!!"

The door to the second-floor room closed slowly, followed by a calm sound.

"idiot."
