The calmness on his face didn't represent the calmness of his emotions. Feeling Flame's concern for himself, Ji Dong blurted out the words that had been bottled up in his heart for a long time. He had never truly pursued a girl, and he didn't know if what he was saying now could be considered a confession. But he couldn't help but express his thoughts. At least he had to let Flame know that no one could replace her in his heart, no matter when it was.
Upon hearing Ji Dong's words, Flame seemed a bit stunned, "Little Ji Dong, you..."
Ji Dong lowered his head, finding his heart pounding violently, "Flame, I'll go first. Since we have to help Vermilion Bird, I'll deliver it to her overnight. My magic power is about to break through the three crowns, and my elder brother suggested teacher should protect me during the breakthrough. I may not be able to come by these few days. Flame, goodbye."
Under Flame's gaze, Red Lotus took Ji Dong away from the Inner Earth World.
