What’s wrong with me? Before Ying'er could react, something had stuck to her delicate lips, warm and comforting. "No, Master, please! We can't!" As soon as Ying'er finished speaking, Gao Liang lifted her and pressed her close to his ear, saying, "You're not going to deceive me anymore! Though Master's abilities aren't particularly powerful yet, they've finally reached divine level. You promised that once I achieve divine rank, we would—” "Oh! Oh!" Gao Liang suddenly cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face. It turned out that Ying'er had firmly pinned his back with her crystal shoes, and he had been completely unprepared, so how could he not feel the pain. Gao Liang's eyes were glistening with tears, and naturally, Ying'er felt moved. With her bright, lively eyes, she looked at Gao Liang and asked, "Master, are you in pain?" "Ying'er, even if Master is in pain, it doesn't matter—only as long as you don't refuse Master!" Gao Liang hugged Ying'er tightly and whispered into her ear, "Master has always cared for you deeply—truly, deeply." Ying'er showed no sign of trying to break free, merely allowing Gaoqing to hold her tightly. Gaoqing hadn't properly kissed Ying'er in a long time, and now his lips were slowly drawing nearer to Ying'er—the most beautiful angel in this universe. Yet Ying'er kept stepping back. "Master, would you please accompany me to a place? I promise you won't regret it!" Ying'er said. "Yes! Ying'er!" Gaoqing agreed without hesitation. "Close your eyes—don't look!" Gaoqing followed Ying'er's instructions. With his eyes closed, Gaoqing heard Ying'er calling out, "The most magnificent Yue Guang Box in the universe, please carry me and my master to a new world! This is a world we have never known before. Let me journey with my master to explore it and discover the code that will unlock the entire universe!" "As soon as the words were finished, Gao Liang felt his body lifting off the ground, rising slowly at first, then gradually accelerating. He realized he could no longer control his movements, as though drifting toward a certain place. Suddenly, a warm, gentle hand reached out and grasped his. Gao Liang knew it was Ying'er's skillful touch, and the two of them held hands, floating together toward a distant destination. "Highlight gazed down—wow! What a lake this is! When he and Ying'er went to retrieve the Holy Light, he had read the Bible, which described a lake of sulfur fire. Now he realized—this must be that very lake of sulfur fire! Highlight felt a bit regretful—why hadn't he thought of this earlier, and simply agreed to accompany Ying'er to this place of wailing and howling? At that moment, Highlight was completely enveloped by the flames below, the heat unbearable. He swayed slightly and nearly fell into the lake, thanks only to Ying'er's firm grip. Yet Highlight was too heavy, and Ying'er was pulled down with him. Highlight's foottips were just one foot away from the lake's surface. Suddenly, a massive fire cloud beast emerged from the lake, opening a wide mouth and seizing his foot. While Ying'er strained upward to pull Highlight up, the fire cloud beast pulled him downward. Highlight didn't want to plunge into the sulfur fire lake. His instinct for survival drove him to gather all his strength." "I swear by the elemental powers of wind, water, fire, electricity, and light found in nature—by the forces of the universe—to eradicate all evil and spread the true cosmic light! I shall become a god!" With a thunderous roar, High-Liang surged with boundless strength. All composite powers—water dragon, fire dragon, energy dragon, and others—were awakened, releasing a tremendous surge of energy outward. Especially the light-based power, which directly pierced into the eyes of the Fire Cloud Beast. The intense radiance blinded the beast instantly, severely damaging its vision. Yet the Fire Cloud Beast did not loosen its grip on High-Liang; on the contrary, it bit harder and tighter, as if possessed by a demon. Now, wildly dancing in frenzied chaos, the Fire Cloud Beast shook the ground so violently that Ying'er could no longer hold onto High-Liang. She swayed and fell directly onto his body. High-Liang remained calm. He cradled Ying'er entirely in his arms and, raising his voice toward the sky, declared, "O divine beings who govern all things, grant me the power to subdue this fiery beast!" "As soon as he finished speaking, a precious object appeared in High-light's hands—a golden staff glowing with vibrant, multicolored hues. When the fire-cloud beast was at its most frenzied, and High-light and Ying-er were about to plunge into the flames, he raised the staff and acted. 'Crash!' A sharp explosion of fire-like powder echoed through the air, accompanied by the sound of the heavens splitting and the earth trembling. The beast's head was struck hard, sending it into a daze and causing it to release its breath. With a powerful kick of his foot against the beast's back, High-light leapt backward nine levels, launching both himself and Ying-er back above the sulfurous lake of fire. From a greater height, he now saw farther. 'Master, I never thought we'd make it through this!' Ying-er happily nestled against High-light's chest. He watched the two small hills on her chest gently pressing against his own, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes. 'Ying-er, Ying-er,' he thought with a sly grin, 'Master is a first-rank man—being able to rest against his chest for a while is truly a blessing for you! But Gao Liang instinctively reached out and gently touched Ying'er's two charming hills, feeling how soft and yielding they were—so much more supple than Zhang Yупing’s, Chen Yuting’s, or Dong Jiao’s. Indeed, no wonder: this beauty, a celestial-grade goddess, truly surpassed even Zhang Yупing, whose grace was merely of human excellence. When Gao Liang touched her, Ying'er blushed deeply, yet unlike other beauties, she didn’t hesitate—she simply beamed at him with a bright, captivating smile, one that Gao Liang found especially alluring. "Come here! Master! Ying'er has something important to say to you! Hurry over!" She was clearly showing off her charm. Gao Liang couldn’t help but feel delighted. He leaned in close, and Ying'er lightly bit at his ear, causing a gentle tingle of pleasure. "You’re so bad! You’re taking advantage of me! I’ll never speak to you again!" Her voice flowed like a clear spring stream, making Gao Liang feel deeply content. He then embraced her tightly. At that moment, three minutes had passed, and the sulfur-fire lake had receded. What came next was a storm of hail. "Master, hurry! Move as swiftly as possible!" The reminder from Ying'er prompted Gao Liang not to take any risks, but instead, with a mysterious air, he said to Ying'er, "I have a plan!"
