It wasn't just Xueyi who was curious about the thing in Levi's hand. Sushang and Guinaifen were equally curious.
Sushang tentatively said, "This thing looks a bit like the ghost we just saw."
"Mm-hmm!" Guinaifen nodded. "But the ghost we saw was a little lighter in color than this. It looked blue, while this one looks green."
"This thing doesn't really look like a ghost. It looks more like ghost fire..."
"Miss Guinaifen."
Xueyi looked toward her. "I have already said that there are no ghosts on the Xianzhou. As residents of the Xianzhou, we should neither believe nor spread rumors."
"But I really did see it!" Guinaifen recalled. "That thing suddenly appeared with a 'whoosh,' then disappeared with another 'whoosh.' When it left, it even made a sound, it made..."
"Ke ke ke!"
"Right! It was that kind of laugh Sushang makes!"
Sushang looked confused. "I didn't laugh."
Guinaifen froze when she heard that. "Then who laughed?"
'Could it be...'
The two looked at each other, both thinking of the same possibility. The expressions on their faces slowly became ugly.
"A ghost!!!"
"Levi! Save me!"
"Save us!"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem."
Levi coughed twice to draw their attention, then put on a polite smile. "Actually, I'm the one who laughed."
"..."
After learning that it had only been Levi's prank, Guinaifen and Sushang both rolled their eyes at him.
Then they asked again, if what they had seen wasn't a ghost, then what was it?
"Hohoho, Miss Guinaifen, what you saw wasn't actually the ghost you thought it was, but an energy parasite called a 'Heliobi.'"
"Eh eh eh eh! Little runt, why did you come back again!"
Seeing Huohuo return, Mr. Tail let out a howl that seemed to echo through the heavens.
It had taken him so much effort to bring her somewhere safe, and not only did the little thing refuse to appreciate it, she had even brought him back to such a dangerous place.
For him alone, this place was a hundred times more dangerous than the ancient sea where that tree had once been.
"Really?"
Although Guinaifen asked this, the expression on her face clearly showed that she didn't believe it.
In her eyes, the so-called "Heliobi" was simply another name for ghosts on the Xianzhou.
After thinking for a moment, Huohuo spoke again, "Actually, Mr. Tail is a Heliobi..."
"Isn't that just a ghost?"
After Huohuo said that, Guinaifen became even more certain that "Heliobi" was simply what ghosts were called on the Xianzhou.
"Ghost? How many times do I have to tell you? I'm a Heliobi, not whatever damn ghost you're talking about! If you keep calling me that... Ah! I%￥#%￥#%￥!"
Mr. Tail, who had just appeared and started cursing at Guinaifen, saw Levi approaching with a green flame in his hands and was so frightened that he nearly lost his soul.
"Get that thing away from me! Get it away from me!!!"
Looking at Mr. Tail, who had been frightened back onto Huohuo's body, Levi couldn't help laughing.
The others became even more curious when they saw this.
Especially Huohuo. She had never seen Mr. Tail so frightened before.
She asked quietly, "Um, what exactly is that thing in your hand?"
Its color was similar to Mr. Tail's, but much darker. It was a vivid green that looked extremely creepy at night.
"I never thought that one day, I would become a toy used to scare people..."
A gloomy female voice rang out. Sushang immediately widened her eyes and looked around. In the end, Guinaifen had to hold her head between both hands and turn it toward Levi before she realized who was speaking.
Looking at the "ghost fire" in Levi's palm, Sushang unconsciously took a step back.
"The ghost, the ghost fire is talking?"
"Ghost fire?" The voice sounded as if it suspected it had heard wrong. After confirming that it hadn't, it chuckled twice.
"You... lowly human!"
The flame instantly became agitated. It changed from a small flame into a huge blaze large enough to swallow everyone present.
Seeing this, Xueyi's expression turned solemn as she gripped her weapon.
The eerie green light shone across Sushang and Guinaifen's faces, making their expressions look rather miserable.
"A ghost, a ghost!"
'Whoever says this isn't a ghost, I'll, Guinaifen, argue with them!'
"Waah..."
"I told you long ago, didn't I! Stay away from that guy, stay away from that guy! Why won't you listen?!"
"Would I ever hurt you?"
Mr. Tail spoke with an expression of frustration at their failure to live up to his expectations.
It was the same old saying: If you don't listen to Tail's advice, you'll suffer right before your eyes.
See? Hadn't it come true?
If these two started fighting, even a fart from one of them could blow everyone present to death.
He was different.
He needed two.
He was a dignified Heliobi, after all. If an ordinary person needed one, then he should at least need two to blow him to death, right?
Perfectly reasonable. Nothing wrong with it.
"Hmph!" Levi showed no fear whatsoever.
"If you get scared, Luofu will be finished."
Oh, well, it wouldn't be too late for it to be finished now either.
"Then I'll be free to fly wherever I want in the sky, and cross wherever I want over the sea!"
'I'll eat up every one of those little people on the Luofu!'
'Ke ke ke...'
"Mr. Tail, don't say such discouraging things at a time like this..."
"Oh? Look at how scared you are yourself. And you're still here trying to give everyone else courage?"
"Grey Wolf, shut up!"
"Hey! Now you've really gotten me angry!"
Huohuo remembered that she had just made Mr. Tail lose face, so this time she couldn't let him embarrass himself again no matter what.
She hurriedly went over and grabbed Mr. Tail's tail.
"Calm down, calm down, Mr. Tail. You can't beat him!"
"..."
"Whether I can beat him or not, we'll have to try to find out!"
At a time like this, he must be using all his strength to suppress the guy in his hand. He could take this opportunity to punch him. The other party definitely wouldn't have time to retaliate.
Afterward, he could hide back on Huohuo's body. He refused to believe that the other party would get rough with little Huohuo.
And even if he did, Xueyi wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
"Eat this!"
Whoosh!
The ordinary flame that had remained motionless suddenly expanded, transforming into a huge net that covered Phantylia. In the blink of an eye, it forced Phantylia back to her original size.
Looking at the little flame in his palm, Levi curled his lips. "Coward."
"Hehe, I was only trying to scare that little girl. You were just overreacting."
After hearing this, Levi gave two completely emotionless "hehe"s.
He turned his head toward Mr. Tail, who was throwing a punch at him.
"Calm down, calm down!"
Huohuo was still pulling him from behind and doing her best to stop him.
Looking at Mr. Tail frozen in front of him, Levi rubbed his chin. "What were you trying to do just now?"
"Hahaha." Mr. Tail laughed awkwardly twice and explained, "You looked like you were having a hard time, so I was going to help you deal with that guy."
"Oh?" Levi blinked. "Then I really have to thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome..."
Mr. Tail lowered his fist and turned around, immediately revealing a fierce expression.
'How the hell is this bastard so strong?'
He had taken the other party down with just one move.
Could it really be like the other party said, and he had simply been trying to scare those two little girls?
Otherwise, how could such a powerful Heliobi have been taken down so easily?
That flame looked completely ordinary. How could it be this powerful?
Levi glanced at Mr. Tail, who was standing beside Huohuo without saying anything, then spoke to Xueyi, who was looking at Phantylia with a still somewhat solemn expression.
"As you can see."
"The one in my hand is precisely the criminal who appeared on the Luofu some time ago, infiltrated the Luofu Xianzhou with a Stellaron, and intended to overthrow the Xianzhou..."
"Destruction Emanator, Phantylia."
"..."
