Scarlet argued in an annoying screech. Alex couldn't understand much, but he understood that she wanted to keep the Qi flowing so that she could breakthrough even more.
Alex sensed her cultivation base and it was at Skin Tempering 5th realm. If she was indeed allowed to keep it going, she would probably advance through the Self-Tempering realm very fast and would be quite a bit of help to Alex.
However, this was coming at the cost of everyone in the tribe no longer being able to grow. So, Alex didn't feel right.
"Can you put back the fire or not?" he asked. "I promise you will still get to cultivate with the Qi."
Scarlet looked at Alex intently, trying to search for any hint of lying. However, when she realized that he was being truthful, she decided to do as he asked.
