Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start

530 Don’t Kneel

Those words calmed Firey down a little.

He was right. He had indeed killed Himmel Soan. If she didn’t take her revenge, he would have died for nothing.

However, Firey soon gave up on that idea.

“No, Master wouldn’t want me to do that.

“He agreed to take the test, but he failed. He wouldn’t blame anyone for what had happened. He wouldn’t hold grudges against anybody.

“I know you’re trying to cheer me up, but Master is dead. I have no reason to stay alive. Just let me die!

“It’s my honor to die next to Master!”

Firey’s eyes twinkled. She wasn’t afraid of death, and dying next to Himmel Soan was the luckiest thing in her life.

“You’ve lost your mind! I don’t understand what’s so great about this man!”

The fire guardian couldn’t wrap his head around her extreme reaction.

He thought Firey was crazy. He even thought himself crazy.

He wanted to take Firey in as his pupil. Not only wouldn’t she do that, but she was also trying to kill herself. To make it worse, he was trying to talk her out of it.

If this had happened in ancient times, no one would believe it.

“You won’t understand. Please leave me alone,” Firey said stubbornly.

She wouldn’t change her mind. No one could.

The water and wood guardians approached them. They felt sorry but didn’t interfere. Although they thought highly of Himmel Soan, the result wasn’t what they had expected.

They were here to see Himmel Soan for the last time to show their appreciation for this talented young man.

No one noticed the changes happening inside Himmel Soan.

He wasn’t dead. To be more precise, he was in a state between life and death. He could be dead the next second, but he could also revive.

When the third blow hit him, the two elements hiding inside him resurfaced.

They were the water and wood elements. Even Himmel Soan didn’t know that after defeating the first two guardians, his body began to accept the two elements.

While he replenished his spiritual essence, he absorbed the two elements as well. However, the two elements had remained unnoticed like quiet hotel guests.

It wasn’t until the third blow, when the black flame devoured him, that the two elements started working.

They made sure there was some vitality left in him.

Of course, that was only made possible because he had gained some resistance toward the fire element. Otherwise, the two elements wouldn’t have time to do anything before the black flame destroyed him.

Hence, Himmel Soan wasn’t really dead. His body was adapting to the black flame.

“Firey, please don’t do that!”

He heard the conversation between Firey and the fire guardian. He wanted to let her know he wasn’t dead, but he couldn’t move a muscle.

He could only hope the fire guardian could stop Firey.

“I won’t let you die!” The fire guardian wouldn’t take no for an answer.

The essence of nature was too precious to be lost over Himmel Soan. Nature itself would be disappointed.

She was supposed to be the beloved child of nature. When she grew up, she would become one of the most powerful beings in this world!

“Do you think you can stop a person who’s determined to die? Yes, you’re stronger than me. If you want to, you can stop me from killing myself, but you can’t watch me forever. You’ll get careless one day, and I’ll find that opportunity. It’s better if you let me stay with Master.”

She bent her knees. Nothing ever scared her, and Himmel Soan was the only person she obeyed, but she wanted to kneel at the fire guardian’s feet now.

She just wanted to stay with Himmel Soan and die next to him.

“Don’t kneel!” The fire guardian stopped her.

If he let her kneel, he would have to say yes to her request, and he would never say yes. He believed he could always keep an eye on Firey. Maybe she would change her mind over time.

“Please, just let me—”

“Don’t kneel!”

It was the same answer, but it didn’t come from the fire guardian.

Firey shuddered when she heard the familiar voice. She looked at Himmel Soan in excitement. He was slowly rising to his feet.

Yes, those words came from Himmel Soan. He was alive again. He survived the black flame and came back. He climbed his way out of hell.

“He’s not dead!” The fire guardian was astonished, and so were the water and wood guardians in the distance.

They were thrilled.

Himmel Soan wasn’t dead. The trial hadn’t ended.

“I knew he’ll show us a miracle!”

“I’m looking forward to watching this battle.”

They laughed and waited for the battle to continue.

“Master!” Firey threw her arms around Himmel Soan, her face still streaked with tears.

“Do you know what you’ve done wrong?” Himmel Soan asked grimly.

Firey lowered her head like a child. She knew when Himmel Soan used that tone, he was really angry.

“Master, I’m sorry!”

“That’s not the point! The point is you should know what your mistakes are and don’t repeat them!”
