Chapter 582 - 582 Fire

582 Fire

“Liu Zijin, do as Xiaolu says. Don’t be distracted. We won’t take care of your wife and children. If you want to take care of them, you can only take care of them yourself. Wang Huilan and her son need you.”

“Listen, I’m not going to do what you want.”

Su Chong had an epiphany. He immediately rejected Liu Zijin’s requests and cut off Liu Zijin’s thoughts.

Liu Zijin was adrift and immediately felt pain. He looked at Su Chong, who turned his head away.

Su Chong said coldly, “Liu Zijin, we met by chance and have no relationships with each other. Even your cousin in your clan wants to replace you in your scholarly examination, do you think you can trust me? Do you want to test human nature? I can do it for a year or so. No one can do it in ten or twenty years. I also have a wife. Will my wife allow me to take care of other people’s wives and children? Liu Zijin, listen carefully. I’m no longer the Su Chong of the past. I have my own home. In my heart, my own home is the most important.”

“I don’t care what kind of monster you are, you have to defeat it!”

After saying that, Su Chong turned around. At this moment, he could not give Liu Zijin any hope. He knew that these words were very cruel, but it was also an undeniable fact.

He knew Liu Zijin better than anyone else.

“Brother Liu, don’t admit defeat. You’ll definitely win! Don’t forget how you used to drag your crippled leg to rush for the exam. I remember you saying that even if you die, you have to die on the way, not admit defeat at the beginning. Your mother finally had a few years of good life. Sister-in-law Huilan needs you, and Yunan needs a father. They’re all waiting for you!”

Su Xiaolu looked at Liu Zijin firmly and said word by word, she believed that Liu Zijin would not give up.

One had to know that in the past, Liu Zijin had walked so far with such a weak body and almost crippled feet. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had walked through mountains of knives and seas of flames. He would not give up.

Liu Zijin’s situation was the same as what Zhou Zhi had encountered previously. Outsiders could not provide any help in such a matter. He could only rely on his willpower to win.

Liu Zijin curled up on the ground. The pain made him want to give up, but his mind was filled with images of Wang Huilan, the child, and his mother. Resisting was really painful.

He thought back to when he was rushing for the exam. Didn’t it hurt back then? It hurt too.

How did he persevere back then?

He tried hard to recall and recalled his mother’s tearful and determined expression. She said, “Zijin, I believe in you. You can definitely do it. Go and take the exam. Then, I can die in peace.”

Therefore, he used all his strength to leave, limping. There was only one belief in his heart, and relying on this belief, it supported him to walk so far.

He was working hard, and the heavens had not let him down. He had met Su Chong. If he had given up halfway, he would not have met Su Chong. There was a benefactor in his life, but he had to work hard.

‘Liu Zijin, you could do it in the past, and you can do it now. It’s just a little pain. What’s there to be afraid of?!’

In the past, he only had his mother behind him. Now that he had a wife and child behind him, he could not give up easily!

Endure it. Endure it. He would definitely make it. He would definitely be able to persevere.

Even though the pain engulfed his sea of consciousness, he managed to withstand it. The raging flames could no longer devour him.

“I want to go home, I want to go home…”

Liu Zijin muttered with all his might. It was this obsession that made him endure it.

From dark to dawn, the flames on his body gradually disappeared.

“How is it? Is he alright now?”

Seeing that Liu Zijin seemed to be fine, someone asked suspiciously, but they did not dare to go forward to check.

Su Xiaolu went forward and reached out to take Liu Zijin’s pulse. His pulse was a little weak. Su Xiaolu took out a medicine bottle and poured out a life-saving pill for Liu Zijin to eat.

Liu Zijin looked at Su Xiaolu and asked curiously, “Xiaolu, am I fine?”

Su Xiaolu looked at Liu Zijin’s wrist. There were no marks. She nodded. “Calm down and feel it. See if you can feel any other invasion?”

Liu Zijin did as he was told. A moment later, he shook his head. There was nothing left.

With so many people around, Su Xiaolu decided to tell Liu Zijin about this in detail later.

Liu Zijin was sent back to the wooden house to recuperate.

His sudden accident caught everyone off guard. For a moment, everyone’s probing hearts turned cold. They all wanted to urge Zhou Heng to make a decision and leave quickly.

Previously, they did not want to leave. Now, they wanted to leave early.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and there was even an unknown flame. It was obviously not safe here.

“This is so strange. The weather is like the dead of winter. Who knows when it will freeze and snow? If only I could control the snow…”

They sat in groups of twos and threes. Someone casually mentioned it.

The others smiled and agreed. “If you can control ice and snow, I can also control water and plants.”

Some people said that being able to control lightning was the most powerful. Whoever they disliked would be struck by lightning.

Apart from the unforeseen event that frightened them at the beginning, nothing happened after that. Everyone was relieved and began to chat and laugh.

Listening to the commotion outside, the wooden house was quiet.

Su Xiaolu asked Liu Zijin how he felt.

Liu Zijin smiled and said, “I feel fine. I’m feeling energetic. Also, there’s something a little strange. I don’t know what it is, but I feel a little different.”

Su Xiaolu said calmly, “Take off your clothes and let me see.”

Liu Zijin was a little embarrassed, but thinking that Su Xiaolu was a divine doctor, he followed her instructions and took off his clothes. He saw a red mark on his arm.

“Xiaolu, what is this?”

Liu Zijin frowned. He reached out and pulled. This mark seemed to have grown out of his flesh and could not be rubbed off. This was a part of his body.

Su Chong and the others frowned.

Su Xiaolu said, “This should be a fire mark. Try it and see if you can control the fire as you please.”

Liu Zijin felt that it was too ridiculous. How could he control fire? If he could control fire, then he could hold fire in his hands.

Just as he thought about that, he was shocked. Not only him, but Su Chong and the others were also shocked.

A ball of fire suddenly appeared in Liu Zijin’s palm. The temperature was very high.

“Zijin…”

Su Chong was a little worried.

Liu Zijin’s jaw also dropped and looked at the fireball in his palm in disbelief. He clenched his fist tightly, and his fist turned into a flaming fist. He didn’t feel any pain at all. He reached out his other hand. Just as this thought appeared in his mind, a fireball appeared in his palm, and both his hands turned into fireballs.

As he thought of retracting it, the fireballs on his hands disappeared completely in an instant.
