Looking at Ji Dong's flaming, leaping eyes, Flame fell silent. Seeing Ji Dong again stirred countless strange emotions within her. Just as Ji Dong had never longed for anyone else like this, she, too, found herself feeling something odd and indescribable for the first time since she gained consciousness, however many years ago that was. She took a subconscious step forward, her smiling face blooming like a field of flowers, leaving Ji Dong intoxicated.
She reached out and lightly touched him, "Little Ji Dong, you seem to have grown taller."
Ji Dong's hands were practically moving on their own, gripping Flame's hand tightly. As the Empress of the Inner Earth World and the ruler of Chaos Fire, this was the first time Flame felt an intense burning heat from Ji Dong's palms. The burning surged into her very core, rendering her speechless. She could feel Ji Dong's trembling hands and body, and the quivering resonated deep within Flame through the heat of his touch.
