I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

What does it mean when Aglaia pops out of someone's crotch?

The unforeseen circumstances were beyond the Fire Thief's imagination, so much so that he didn't immediately offer any resistance.

“Aya, after you’ve subdued him, I plan to use [Reply].

But this time, Aglaia did not cooperate with Su Yang as she had hoped.

She looked at Su Yang with a worried expression:

“We don’t know his identity yet. Using that ability to empathize so rashly could be very dangerous for you.”

"You'll understand once you use [reply]. As for the cost, I'm prepared."

However, it was this brief disagreement...

Suddenly, terrifying flames erupted from the Fire Thief's body, along with an unprecedentedly terrifying power!

Aglaia reacted quickly, pulling the unequipped Su Yang away with her.

"Wait! My underwear!" Su Yang's pupils suddenly contracted.

Unfortunately, all the gold threads scattered throughout the building snapped the moment the Fire Thief broke out.

Aglaia quickly pulled Su Yang back to Saifeier's position.

She held Su Yang's hand and looked at the big cat with concern:

"Sefaria, are you alright?"

"This guy healed me, but don't worry about me for now. That Fire Thief Walker has the scent of [Trickery] on him, and he can see through my [Trickery] too."

“...I learned the general outline through Su Yang, and besides the [trickery], the power that the Fire Thief just unleashed also seemed familiar.” Aglaia’s expression was extremely solemn.

“He doesn’t seem to intend to continue fighting; he just used that move to discourage you. Shall we go back and discuss our strategy?” Saifei’er was able to communicate with Aglaia without any problems, something she hadn’t done in a long time.

"Hmm, Butterfly and my master have also retreated back to the city. It's time to take action against this fire-stealing traitor... Su Yang?"

Aglaia and Saifeier both looked at Su Yang at the same time.

Su Yang continued to stare intently at the Fire Thief in the distance.

His heart was pounding, and his breathing became increasingly erratic.

Aglaia quickly understood his emotional fluctuation and stepped forward to comfort him:

"Don't worry, I'll knit you new underwear later, and I'll knit even more."

As Aglaia continued her abstract dialogue, Saifeier belatedly realized that Su Yang had lost all his equipment.

She couldn't help but look down twice.

However, Su Yang's condition did not recover as a result.

"...Aya, you take Saifeier back first."

"Don't act rashly. The power he just unleashed was very strange. He may still be hiding a lot of strength. No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, you probably won't be able to escape unscathed."

"This guy hurt Saifeier and destroyed my most treasured possession..."

"Sefaria is safe and sound. I will definitely knit you even better underwear in the future, and I will also put more romance into it."

Aglaia, as if comforting a child, gently stroked Su Yang's back with a tender and loving smile.

"That was the opportunity that led me to romance, and it was also the first gift you gave me, making it the most memorable one!"

Su Yang was completely out of his element; his reason was gradually slipping away.

At this time.

A pink-haired beauty suddenly appears!

"Wow, why is Su Yang so angry? Don't be angry, don't be angry, stay calm!"

Little Ellie floated in front of Su Yang, her sweet smile seemingly capable of healing everything in the world.

Unfortunately, even Little Ellie couldn't bring Su Yang back to his senses.

Su Yang stepped forward and, leaning against the Hundred Realms Gate, instantly teleported to the Fire Thief Walker's side.

"?"

The Fire Thief was originally preparing to retreat, but when he saw Su Yang, who was completely unequipped, return to him, he was stunned once again.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"I told you to stay calm!"

Little Ellie also flew to Su Yang's side, trying to pull him back.

"?" The Fire Thief paused again after seeing 'Little Ellie'.

Because of his momentary daze, Su Yang's fist had already struck his chest.

boom! !

The Fire Thief was instantly sent flying.

Unfortunately, he wouldn't let Su Yang beat him forever.

As he flew away, the Fire Thief quickly regained his senses.

But instead of retaliating, he turned his entire body into smoke and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Ran.

“…”

Having lost his target for venting, Su Yang instantly calmed down.

Aglaia and Serfie also rushed over.

"Su Yang, although I don't want to scold you, you were really too reckless just now... Are you alright?" Aglaia asked with concern.

"Tsk, the silly boy has turned into a crazy boy." Sai Fei'er's gaze shifted downwards, and when she saw Su Yang's slightly flushed cheeks behind his weapon, she quickly looked away.

"Su Yang~ I know you're angry, but you can't let it cloud your judgment, okay?"

"..." Su Yang was thinking.

Perhaps it was because he had just vented his emotions, or perhaps it was because being unequipped allowed him to concentrate better, but Su Yang's brain was working at a rapid pace.

After a few seconds of silence, he looked in the direction where the Fire Thief had disappeared and calmly analyzed the situation:

“Sai Fei’er, do you remember when you first came into contact with me, [tricks] wouldn’t have worked at all?”

"Hmm." Sai Fei'er originally wanted to remind Su Yang not to mention this in front of the tailor.

But emphasizing it would only make the seamstress overthink things, so she had to pretend to be indifferent.

“I just used that ability to ‘see’ the Firewalker, but he was completely unaffected.”

"Ok?"

"Besides, Aya, when he broke free of the golden threads just now, didn't that move have a bit of a spark feel to it?"

"...You actually thought of that right away? Hmm, I did sense something similar to a spark. Could it be that a Titan's spark has already fallen into the hands of the Fire Thief Walkers?"

"As expected, I feel I still need to use [Reply] on this guy."

Su Yang officially made this a target.

“Then let’s go back and discuss this further. But right now, you need to put on some clothes as soon as possible.” Aglaia’s gaze shifted downwards.

Sai Fei'er also lowered her gaze.

Little Ellie's gaze also shifted downwards.

"I get shy when you all look at me like that."

"If you're shy, at least cover yourself with your hand," Sai Fei'er couldn't help but complain.

.....

The fire-stealing traveler fled in a sorry state.

He was holding up his black hood, and seemed to be in a somewhat unusual state.

"Variables...it really is a variable..."

His voice was numb, yet it seemed to contain a hint of 'excitement'.

"No... variables... might be useless."

"The spark... must be returned!"

"Sacrifice...is inevitable!"

"Spark..."

"salvation..."

He was muttering incoherent words, his current state bordering on madness.

Coincidentally.

A spatial rift appeared before his eyes.

Huang Quan stepped out while eating a peach. She looked around in confusion before finally fixing her gaze on the Fire Thief.

"Sorry, I think I'm lost again."

“…”

"By the way, did you just contact my brother?" Huang Quan tilted his head.

"variable?"

"I should have warned you that it would be best to stay away from my brother for the time being."

"!?"

Perhaps sensing something was wrong, or perhaps recalling the memories of being kicked away by Huang Quan like a roadside animal a few times before...

A ceremonial sword suddenly appeared in the Fire Thief's right hand, which was enveloped in white crystals.

After gripping the ceremonial sword tightly, his aura began to surge dramatically!

If we say that when he encountered Su Yang and his group earlier, the Fire Thief only possessed madness and obsession.

Right now, the aura of [destruction] is undoubtedly slowly emerging!

Huang Quan's expression remained indifferent.

“I respect what you’re carrying, but this hasty contact with him might bring tragedy to both of you.”

"You are the variable!"

"...Let's calm down for a bit." Huang Quan nodded slightly.

The next instant, she vanished from her spot and reappeared behind the imposing Fire Thief.

Huang Quan seemed to have done nothing.

But as a tear of blood slid down her cheek, a purple light suddenly emanated from the Fire Thief!

Amidst the fleeting purple blade light, there seemed to be a barely perceptible hint of crimson.

Whoosh!

The Fire-Stealing Walker has disappeared.

.....

Yunshi Tiangong.

After changing his clothes, Su Yang, along with Aglaia and the big cat, teleported precisely to the location of the Hero's Bath.

Xia Die and Ti Bao had been waiting for a long time.

Wan Di and Bai E also happened to arrive in a hurry.

As the leader of the Golden Blood, Aglaia stepped forward:

"Gentlemen, you are all more or less aware of the situation... A mysterious black-robed swordsman has set his sights on the fire and intends to obstruct the journey of pursuing fire, and he has already clashed with us several times."

"A black-robed swordsman? Does that guy also wear a mask and exude an ominous aura?" Bai E seemed particularly sensitive to this information.

"Um..."
