Mu Chen ignored Zi Yan's words and continued swimming upward through the magma.
"Don't go."
Zi Yan was truly frightened. She mustered all her strength and swam forward rapidly, intercepting Mu Chen. In a pleading tone, she said, "Don't leave!"
"Is there any need for us to continue talking?" Mu Chen asked calmly.
"Don't leave me," Zi Yan said, on the verge of tears. The evil fire within her was already beginning to erode her consciousness.
"If you don't trust me, why keep me here?" Mu Chen replied coldly.
"I... I was wrong," Zi Yan stammered, unsure whether she was truly afraid of losing her purity to a monster or if the heat within her was already clouding her mind. For the first time, she spoke such soft words.
"Ah~" Mu Chen looked at Zi Yan, a sense of pity welling up in his heart. He said, "Let me say it again. I originally thought that only the Fallen Heart Flame in its sentient state would cause you to be in such a predicament. I didn't expect that even after its sentience was shattered, the Fallen Heart Flame could still generate this evil fire within you. This is all just an accident!"
Zi Yan stared into Mu Chen's eyes, finding no fluctuation in them. She believed his words. Thinking about her current situation, she asked, "What should I do now?"
"Let me try!" Mu Chen stepped forward, extending his finger and pressing it against Zi Yan's lower abdomen.
Now that Mu Chen had comprehended the laws of fire attribute energy, if the evil fire could be classified as fire attribute energy, perhaps he could dispel it from Zi Yan's body.
Buzz
A ripple spread outward from Zi Yan's body. Mu Chen tried, but he could only make the evil fire resonate with the laws of fire attribute energy. He couldn't remove the evil fire from Zi Yan's body.
"It's ineffective."
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "The evil fire originates from your Strange Fire. Unless I remove the Strange Fire from your body, I can't dispel the evil fire within you. But once the Strange Fire leaves your body, your cultivation will regress."
"So, the only way is to merge?" Zi Yan's gaze was already hazy as she looked at Mu Chen. After this period of delay, even with her strong willpower and the physique of the Void Ancient Dragon, she felt as if the desire within her was about to erupt like a volcano.
"Actually, there's another way," Mu Chen said.
"What is it?" Zi Yan asked.
Mu Chen leaned close to Zi Yan's ear and whispered, explaining the method he had successfully used to resolve the situations with the Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun.
"Ah? It can be done like that?" Zi Yan looked at Mu Chen in surprise.
"Yes," Mu Chen nodded.
"No need," Zi Yan stepped forward, her delicate body almost pressing against Mu Chen's. She said, "I don't really like the human way. Let's be direct. I can't hold on much longer. After all, this is my first time. I can't hold on anymore. While I still retain my consciousness, just give in to me."
"Alright," Mu Chen agreed without hesitation.
After Zi Yan refined the Strange Fire, she was no longer a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. She had grown up, and her body had developed very well. Even if she merged with Mu Chen, it wouldn't have any adverse effects on her physical development.
Mu Chen reached out and wrapped his arm around Zi Yan's slender waist, the smooth touch igniting a fiery heat in his lower abdomen. His lips pressed against her crimson ones.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations, you have captured the goddess Zi Yan and gained 5,860,000 points of Dou Qi."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations, your Dou Qi has reached its maximum and you have leveled up. Current level: 87 (Seventh Revolution Battle Venerate)."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations, for capturing the goddess Zi Yan, you have received an additional lottery ticket as a reward."

Zi Yan was right; she truly didn't like the ways of humans, including the modesty and shyness that human girls possessed. Mischievous by nature, she was extremely curious about the male anatomy. As Mu Chen and Zi Yan became one, he felt as if he were being treated like a plaything.
"Is this what males are like? Indeed, they are different from us," Zi Yan murmured to herself, as if she had acquired a new toy.
Dou Qi +36,862
Dou Qi +69,852
Dou Qi +56,859
As Mu Chen and Zi Yan became one, Mu Chen also gained emotional points from Zi Yan. These points were substantial, reaching tens of thousands.
As for Mu Chen, he once again refreshed his understanding of the physical endurance of the Void Ancient Dragon. If it weren't for his Eight-Star Indestructible Golden Body, he might not have been able to withstand Zi Yan's insatiable demands.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations, your Dou Qi has reached its maximum and you have leveled up. Current level: 88 (Eighth Revolution Battle Venerate)."
Mu Chen held Zi Yan in his arms, caressing her body, while she blissfully nestled against his chest. The two of them seemed oblivious to the fact that they were currently in the midst of underground magma.
"Mu Chen, how should I address you from now on?" Zi Yan asked with a satisfied look in her eyes.
