Chapter 238
Chapter 238 – Disguise
The closer Han Shuo traveled to the fire lake, the hotter the temperature was. But since the big-headed zombie couldn’t withstand the heat, Han Shuo had no choice but to use more magical yuan to activate the Mystical Glacial Spellfire in order to lower the temperature around the two of them.
Zombie warriors was used to the dark and instinctively wanted to avoid to the scorching heat and sunlight. This big-headed zombie was no exception as it kept on shaking in Han Shuo’s hands, like it was afraid of that searing fire lake.
However, he couldn’t move at all within Han Shuo’s vice-like grip. Meanwhile, two waves of dense white smoke quickly neared the fire lotus from the boulder walls and arrived beside Marceau in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the two women were only a bit more than three meters away from the fire lotus below. Since they were afraid of the temperature being higher than what the boundary could entire, the two of them didn’t dare to approach the fire lotus that quickly, for fear of the boundary being cracked open by the high temperature.
“Eh, why are you here?” Marceau was surprised to see the two waves of white smoke near. Although she couldn’t see Han Shuo’s appearance due to the dense mist, she was able to recognize him from his actions.
“I can’t stand the baking of the heat anymore, please let me enter the boundary to rest a bit!” Han Shuo’s anxious pleading rang out from the thick must. When the sound had reached them, Han Shuo already stopped next to the boundary.
Fire grand magus Marceau was clearly a bit troubled after he said this. It seemed like it was very difficult for her to bring Han Shuo into the boundary, so she hesitated and debated.
Han Shuo suddenly screamed loudly in one of the waves of smoke next to Marceau. The wave of smoke suddenly sank directly towards the beautiful fire lotus.
Screams rang out from continuously the smoke underneath them, shocking them to the core. This caused the two confused women unable to react.
Fire grand magus Marceau watched the fire lotus slowly sink into the fire lake with a clear expression of regret. She didn’t pay attention to Han Shuo’s call underneath, and just kept muttering, “My fire lotus, my fire lotus…” It was female knight Sophie who showed pity for Han Shuo. She wheezed heavily as she pulled on the corner of Marceau’s clothes and said anxiously, “Go and save him first!”
Marceau suddenly recovered her senses thanks to Sophie’s actions. She looked down in dejection, sighed, then nodded unwillingly and started to chant a spell.
A powerful magic suddenly covered Han Shuo’s body. Under the guidance of the fire elemental energy, Han Shuo’s body was suddenly pulled into the boundary where Sophie and Marceau was staying through the fire sparks.
When Han Shuo had first left, the three to four meter magic boundary had had a section chopped off. Now that Han Shuo’s body squished in once again, the chopped off section did not return, and so the magic boundary that Sophie and Marceau were occupying became very crowded due to Han Shuo’s sudden appearance.
Han Shuo had a weak expression on his pale face at the moment. He had been burnt on a large scale from his knees down to his feet. Not only was it terrifying, there was also a terrible smell.
Possibly due to her age, identity, or some other reason, the fire grand magus didn’t seem to want to touch Han Shuo within the crowded confines. She squeezed herself into a corner, making the collapsed Han Shuo lean on Sophier.
Han Shuo moved his body difficulty, then called out with fake pain, as if wanting to sit up from the collapsed posture. With his arms pressed against the invisible boundary, he couldn’t help but touch Sophie’s leg.
After Han Shuo had left, the temperature within the boundary had remained around forty degrees. Sophie was still covered in sweat, causing her entire body to feel uncomfortable from the dampness of the clothes stuck to her body. The plastered clothes fully emphasized her curves and well toned body. Through Han Shuo’s unintentional touch, he could feel the firmness of Sophie’s thigh, as well as the tremendous power within the flexible thighs.
The burning of his two legs had been intentional. This level of injury wouldn’t affect the function of his legs. Although it looked terrifying and caused some pain to Han Shuo, there was no other impact to him.
Therefore, although Han Shuo cried out softly as he tried to sit up whilst pretending to be in pain, he wasn’t in as bad of a state as he appeared. Thus, when his arm unavoidably touched Sophie’s straight, slender thighs, he actually had the effort to spare to rate the flexibility and suppleness of her thigh.
Perhaps due to the boundary being very crowded, Sophie treated this sort of frivolous touching as accidental, and wasn’t annoyed. Her arched eyebrows furrowed slightly and instead looked at Han Shuo with a bit of pity. She said kindly, “Let me help you!”
Sophie’s soft voice rang out beside Han Shuo’s ear. As Han Shuo clenched his teeth in pain, she squatted down slightly and use her jade hands to support Han Shuo’s shoulders in order to help him up. She then aided him in sitting down cross legged in the boundary.
Due to how crowded the boundary was, it was unavoidable that the two would have body contact. When she hauled upwards on Han Shuo’s arms, their arms pressed tightly , and Han Shuo even “accidentally” touched Sophie’s full and well curved breasts with his shoulder.
“Thank you so much!” When Sophie helped Han Shuo sit up from his collapsed position, Han Shuo looked at Sophie sincerely and thanked her wholeheartedly.
“You’re welcome, it’s what I should do!” Sophie’s delicate cheeks were bright red due to the high temperature, but the keen eyed Han Shuo noticed that Sophie’s cheeks were even redder than before. She even seemed slightly embarrassed. It seemed that the close contact between the two had caused this kind girl to feel a bit awkward.
Han Shuo and Sophie still remained very close together up until now. Although Sophie had intentionally tried to distance herself, due to the crowded quarters of the boundary, the maximum distance of the two’s limbs was not more than twenty centimeters, causing them to smell the scent on each other clearly.
Han Shuo’s intense male body odor mixed together with the sweet smell of sweat on Sophie’s body. Both of them breathed it in. This special scent was like a miraculous medicine that nourished Han Shuo’s eager heart, causing it to palpitate for some reason.
Han Shuo looked deeply at Sophie. His gaze was extremely intense, possibly due to the high temperatures. When Sophie turned her head uncomfortably, Han Shuo greedily took a deep breath, then resumed his normal expression as he flashed a bright smile towards Sophie. He then slowly closed his eyes and started to rest, not wasting any time to restore his magical yuan.
Through the surveillance of the yin demon, Han Shuo saw that Sophie’s cheeks had reddened, and her expression seemed rather unnatural. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and she looked oddly at Han Shuo when he started to rest. He was unable to know what she was thinking.
On the other side, Marceau hadn’t noticed Han Shuo and Sophie’s actions. Since the Lord of the Flames’ roar was getting closer, Marceau didn’t have any effort to spare to observe what was going on around her. She was completely focused on controlling the boundary and making it gradually rise towards the top where the magma was shooting out.
