After that, regardless of Ying'er's agreement or disagreement, he carried her. Ying'er quickly tapped high-light's back with her small pink fists, pouting in annoyance: "Master, you're so bad!" Though she complained, she was secretly delighted—this was the first time Master had carried her, and high-light's back felt so comfortable and reassuring. A deluge of hailstones poured down from the sky, yet high-light showed no fear. "I wish to become a god!" With a single cry, high-light's entire body turned crimson—his inner fire dragon pearl was now fully activated. Having just passed through the sulfur-hot lake, high-light already possessed a powerful internal fire element. This fire element, combined with the fire dragon pearl, could now be absorbed, transformed, and harnessed through high-light's enhanced energy and refined spirit strength. High-light perfectly released the energy of the fire dragon pearl, transforming into a radiant being of flame. Even before the hailstones touched his body, they completely melted and merged with his form. Ying'er felt no scorching sensation on Gaoliang's back. She was deeply puzzled—how had this master managed to achieve such a feat? In truth, Gaoliang possessed an energy stone that generated a unique form of energy—precise targeting—offering energy protection to Ying'er's delicate body while simultaneously dissolving the fiery elements in the protective zones. As a source of fire energy himself, he remained unaffected by the dissolution. Watching the ice pellets cascading down her head melt and vanish, Ying'er gasped in wonder, exclaiming, "Master, that's so magical!" Just as she finished speaking, they entered a zone of intense hail and gale winds, causing Gaoliang and Ying'er to sway violently, shaking up and down, and swaying side to side. Ying'er's soft breasts pressed gently against Gaoliang's back, providing him with a special massage that filled him with great contentment. On purpose, he roared, "Let the storm come stronger!" "As he spoke, he would rise into the air at times, then plunge downward, rising and falling continuously. Ying'er watched the deep, bottomless expanse below, tightly grasping high-light's shoulders, afraid she would fall. Amid the shaking and jolting, Ying'er's soft body came into complete contact with high-light's back—this time, a close, direct contact. Why? Because high-light's clothes on his back had been melted away by the fire element, and Ying'er's clothing at her chest, where she touched him, had also been 'melted away'—in fact, this was something high-light had done deliberately. The master took such a great risk, carrying you through all this; you must reward him now! After two close encounters, Ying'er tried to gently separate herself with a small pink hand during the third one, but a sudden shake nearly sent her tumbling. She had to once again firmly grasp high-light's shoulders with both hands, her chest gently pressed against his back. Her heart pounded vigorously, and her face grew deeply flushed. There was no choice but to settle for this. As for Gao Liang, he felt particularly pleased—Ying'er! The master only needed a little clever maneuver, and you were so obedient. While Gao Liang was enjoying Ying'er's massaging with her meat balls, a colossal, magnificent roc soared past him, its size truly immense. "Master, it's no ordinary roc—this one has only one eye and is extremely difficult to handle! In fact, Ying'er had to turn back earlier precisely to avoid being pursued by it," said the attendant. "Ying'er, this time, we will definitely pass it—we will definitely pass!" Gao Liang's tone was resolute, deeply touching Ying'er, who couldn't help but gently kiss his cheek. The sensation was moist, smooth, velvety, and lingering—something Gao Liang had never expected. Instantly energized, he carried Ying'er and roared toward the approaching giant roc, "I have now become a god! Whoever stands in my way shall perish!" The immense presence made the giant sculpture hesitate. The creature was truly enormous—large enough to match an entire airplane—while Gao Liang and Ying'er seemed so small in comparison. With a sharp *thump*, the sculpture shook its wings, effortlessly sending Gao Liang flying over 100 meters. Losing his balance, Gao Liang plummeted toward the bottomless chasm below. Both Gao Liang and Ying'er noticed that the water beneath was scalding and surged violently. Should they fall, the consequences would be dire. Yet, the giant sculpture began to glide toward them. "Ah!" Ying'er cried out, realizing that the creature had lifted her with one of its claws. As the sculpture once again shook its wings, Gao Liang fell downward like a leaf caught in a strong wind. "Master! Master!" Ying'er called out, her voice trembling as she watched Gao Liang descend. "Ying'er, Ying'er, be careful—the giant sculpture has opened its beak!" Upon looking, Ying'er gasped—its eyes gleamed like those of a ghost, and its sharp beak was now poised to strike her. Ying'er's delicate face would be completely ruined with just a gentle nip from the crane's beak—more devastating than simply taking her life. Gao Liang knew this was the moment to make a final, decisive stand. "By the most magnificent wind element of nature, I swear—I am the wind! I am the wind, and I will control it!" Gao Liang's voice echoed across the cosmos. "Gaaah!" The crane's beak was struck by Gao Liang's pale blue wind blade, causing it to tremble; its claws released, and Ying'er immediately broke free. Yet her body plunged straight into the scalding black water, in a direct, unyielding line. At this moment, Gao Liang could not afford any delay. He roared, calling out to Ying'er, "Ying'er, don't be afraid! I'll save you!" When Ying'er felt herself falling into Gao Liang's arms, once again embraced by this exceptional man, she was deeply moved—she had never imagined that her master would be willing to sacrifice his own life to save her. "Ah!" A sharp cry of pain rose, as it turned out, a foot plunging into the scalding black water. Highlight's face contorted with pain, and Ying'er wept clear tears, saying to Highlight, "Master, don't worry about me—you are more important than I am!" Yet, a voice echoed in Ying'er's ears: "Ying'er, truly, the Master cannot do without you! And you, cannot do without the Master, can you?" "Indeed!" Ying'er nodded, tears glistening, but Highlight's entire foot had already submerged into the hot water. Highlight did not cry out in pain. Drawing on every ounce of strength, he struggled to keep from sinking, and with all his might pushed Ying'er's delicate body upward—willing to sacrifice his own life, even to the point of being reduced to ashes, as long as Ying'er remained in the universe. With tears in her eyes, Ying'er gently kissed Highlight, kissing him with her heart—the man who had saved her. As she kissed, she said, "Master, I regret it now—I should have brought you to this place of such extreme danger!" "I do not regret it at all, Ying'er!" Highlight's face At that moment, the giant eagle swooped down again. Yet Gao Liang did not retreat. Gao Liang threw Ying'er high into the air and said to her, "Rush away! Don't worry about me!"
