Seeing the word "love" formed on the desert, Ouyang Feiting felt as if struck by lightning, suddenly dizzy.

This happiness came too suddenly, what was supposed to be a life-and-death battle, how did it suddenly turn into a love declaration?

And ever since she met Wang Yan, he had always been somewhat clueless, not understanding the matters of love between men and women, but today, he romantically arranged the Fire-Eating Ants to form the word "love"?

Is this Wang Yan's way of declaring love?

Or does it mean something else?

Ouyang Feiting dared not think further, fearing that she had misunderstood and that Wang Yan was merely arranging the word at random.

She was afraid that such disappointment would break her heart.

Yet, she would rather believe that Wang Yan was confessing to her, even if it were a lie, she would willingly believe it.

In this state of uncertainty, Ouyang Feiting lifted her head and looked at Wang Yan.

With this glance, she saw Wang Yan looking down at her.

In Wang Yan's eyes, there was a tenderness that enveloped Ouyang Feiting, leaving her feeling as if her bones were melting in an instant.

"Wang Yan..." the two words slipped slowly from Ouyang Feiting's mouth, and she couldn't say anything else.

Wang Yan looked down at the close Ouyang Feiting, at her slightly parted red lips, at the pink blush on her jade-like cheeks, at her anxious and hopeful love. Instantly, he felt a rush of blood to his head. Without thinking, he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, and fervently kissed her lips.

Ouyang Feiting let out a soft whimper and her body went limp in Wang Yan's arms.

The two fell naturally to the ground, lying on the soft sand.

At that moment, the surrounding Fire-Eating Ants began to move, each with a grain of sand in its mouth, scurrying around Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting.

In no time at all, those grains of sand piled up to form four walls, growing higher and higher until they began to close in together.

Just as Wang Yan pulled aside Ouyang Feiting's top, revealing her tender shoulder, the walls closed tightly, and a sand house stood under the sand dune.

And hundreds of thousands of Fire-Eating Ants stood outside the sand house, tails towards it, vigilantly keeping watch, undistracted even by the heavy breathing coming from within the sand house.

As the sun set in the west, the orange and warm afterglow shone upon the earth, painting the normally golden desert with warmth, elongating the shadow of the sand house, longer and longer.

The next morning.

The sand house collapsed with a crash, revealing Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting.

The sunlight shone down, and Ouyang Feiting quickly raised her hand to shield her eyes, her face full of charming beauty.

Seeing Wang Yan emerge, the Fire-Eating Ant Queen and hundreds of thousands of Fire-Eating Ants immediately turned and bowed to Wang Yan.

At this moment, Wang Yan was in high spirits. He looked at the Fire-Eating Ant Queen before him and said, "I originally thought your hard shell was your greatest strength, but I was wrong."

Ouyang Feiting lazily stood up, flicking aside the hair covering her forehead, walked to Wang Yan's side, leaned against him, and softly asked, "What else is so strong about her?"

Wang Yan smiled, held Ouyang Feiting, and said, "She has given birth to so many offspring, that's her greatest strength."

Having said that, Wang Yan looked down at Ouyang Feiting.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Feiting initially nodded in agreement, but suddenly realizing Wang Yan was looking at her, she stared back at him, somewhat confused about his meaning.

But just as Ouyang blinked her pretty eyes a few times, she suddenly understood.

Her charming face instantly turned beet red, she lightly hit Wang Yan, murmuring bashfully, "Wang Yan, how annoying, I don't want to have so many."

Hearing Ouyang Feiting's words, Wang Yan laughed heartily and said, "However many you can have, I'll not demand more."

Ouyang Feiting nodded, echoing, "Yes, however many one can have..."

But saying this, she suddenly realized what she had said, her face, already red as an apple, reddened again as if about to drip water.

With that, Ouyang Feiting turned shyly, lowered her head, and, grasping her hands in front of her, her fingers twisted until they were almost red, she shyly muttered, "Who wants to have a child with you."

Yet, a moment later, she softly whispered, barely audibly, "Just one would be enough."

Even though Ouyang Feiting's voice was low, with Wang Yan's sharp hearing, he heard it clearly. Laughing heartily, he said, "Alright, just one."

Saying that, Wang Yan raised his hand, and with a flash from the Starlight Ring, he stored the Fire-Eating Ant Queen and hundreds of thousands of Fire-Eating Ants into the ring, even gathering up the corpses.

Then, extending his right arm, he held Ouyang Feiting's waist, lifted them both into the air, and landed on the camel atop the sand dune.

As the camel bells jingled, they moved forward with a "ding-dong" sound into the distance.

Soon after Wang Yan left, suddenly, two people appeared in the sky, walking through the air, both radiating a faintly powerful Demon Saint aura.

The two stopped in the air above where Wang Yan and the Fire-Eating Ant Queen had fought, looking down at the ground with puzzled expressions.

One of them said, "The Fire-Eating Ant Legion should have appeared here, and there's evidence of fighting."

The other nodded, "But where are the Fire-Eating Ants now? Did they burrow back underground?"

The first person said, "No, if they burrowed underground, we'd have noticed. Even if they were killed, there would be traces. There's no trace at all now, unless someone subdued them."

The other person was taken aback, saying, "The Fire-Eating Ant Legion is incredibly powerful; we've never heard of anyone subduing them. Could it be a Demon Venerable's expert?"

The first person shook his head, saying, "It's unclear, even if it's not a Demon Venerable, anyone who subdued the Fire-Eating Ant Legion is not someone to be trifled with."

"Never mind, let's avoid provoking such a strong adversary. Let's return to Mozi Academy."

"Indeed, since the Fire-Eating Ant Legion is dead, we can report back. However," at this point, the person glanced into the distance and said, "Yan Shilin is contending for the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, should we help him out?"

The other person shook his head, saying, "It's a matter for the young, let him deal with it himself, we should head back."

With that, the two flew off into the distance.

At that point, Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting, seated on their camel, had arrived at the gathering place of Yan Shilin, Qin Xingyuan, and others.
