Shi Feng, Gentle Snow, and Fire Dance sat on top of Shi Feng's thunder eagle mount flying across the Ore Empire. Their destination is Red Orc City, a city deep within the Neutral Map.

Normally the journey would take around 4 hours with a land mount but it only takes a little over 20 minutes with an extraordinary flying mount.

Shi Feng was currently experimenting with the soul fire. He was doing this because when he had Ember use the Soul Trace on him it had a weird reaction with the Soul Fire.

He might have full control over the Soul Fire but that doesn't mean he has mastered its abilities yet. So far he's mainly been using the Soul Fire to damage players souls to increase their death penalty. He hasn't really felt the need to use it for much else, treating it more like a mysterious flame.

While he was experimenting he noticed Gentle Snow acting weird.

He saw her repeatedly taking quick glances of envy over at Fire Dance who was opposite from her. After Fire Dance had Ember use the Soul Trace on her they started to play with each other on the journey.

After Ember had used the Soul Trace on Snow she immediately went to Fire Dance without a second to spare and this saddened her.

While the two were playing Snow will try to scooch closer to them but when she got to a noticeable proximity Ember will hide behind Fire's head as if she wanted nothing to do with Snow.

Due to this Snow was forced to just watch Ember and Fire play together in depression.

This surprised Shi Feng. He never expected the battle hardened Snow Goddess to actually love cute things. She had never shown this side of her personality despite spending so much time together.

He thought this side of her was adorable.

But while he was surprised he had no pity for the Snow Goddess.

Ember is the key to his Divine Quest. At most he can reach tier 5 level 170 or so in the time he had left. His tier 5 promotion may take a couple of months to complete. If he had to face dozens of demon gods and possibly a demon god emperor by himself he would be screwed.

But despite his precarious situation his supposed allies and friends didn't care. They were all trying to take away his life saver by tempting her with her favorite foods. Even his personal guards Anna and Versailles were trying to take her away from him.

Because they have a pseudo contract Ember can easily server the contract between them and go to someone else or just leave. If she finds somebody she likes better she might leave him. The only reason she hasn't is because he had hatched her and she sees him as her father. If Ember's intelligence wasn't as high as it was she may have already abandoned him for Aqua or Violet who constantly spoil her.

Shi Feng has no idea why Ember doesn't seem to like Gentle Snow, but the less competition he has the better.

Snow decided to wash away the sadness by talking to Shi Feng. "Guild Leader, I almost forgot to tell you. You won't believe it," she said in a mysterious tone.

This piqued his curiosity. Snow doesn't usually act like this unless it is really something interesting.

"What could possibly surprise you?" He asked.

"Guess who applied for the guild while you were away,"

"How can I possibly know that there's too many experts in God's Domain to keep track of," he said while wondering.

"It's actually some people you know very well," she said as if trying to build up the anticipation.

Shi Feng let out a sigh, "I know so many people. Stop toying with me and spit it out."
