As though a matter of course, Meng Lei asked, “Shouldn’t it already submit to me since I was the one that had nurtured it to life?”
“Haha! Its subconsciousness was in hibernation before it was born, so how would it possibly know that you were the one that had brought it to life?”
Dodola rolled its eyes at him. “Look! It’s coming over!”
Whoosh!
The white flame had indeed come over. It constantly danced and flickered about as it circled Meng Lei and Dodola, as though curiously checking out the two of them.
“Who are you?”
A child-like divine spirit energy fluctuation suddenly came from the white flame. Young and babyish, it sounded just like a child.
“I’m Meng Lei, and that’s Dodola!”
Meng Lei gave it a friendly smile. He said, “I’m the one that nurtured you to life. Don’t be nervous. We won’t hurt you.”
“You were the one that nurtured me?”
The white flame flew into a rage. Like a hissing little kitten brandishing its claws, it roared furiously, “You’re lying! We fire-elemental beings are born from the flames. Would I even need you to nurture me? How dare you lie to me! You’re a baddie! I’m going to burn you to death!”
Boom, boom, boom!
As it spoke, the white flame suddenly expanded dramatically and turned into an enormous fireball spanning 100-meters-wide. Then, it went crashing madly toward Meng Lei!

The white flame released an astonishing heat, with a temperature far higher than lava. The scorching heat could be felt from a great distance.
“Though this little fellow was just born, its combat strength is comparable to a mid-level half-deity. If it was allowed to spread its faith and collect the power of faith...” Dodola praised, “It can become a deity within 100 years! Though it’s a pity that there are no more excess sources of faith in the Heaven’s Vault Continent for it!”
“A monster indeed.”
Meng Lei nodded slightly, looking at the huge fireball crashing towards him, and uttered, “Absolute Zero!”
Whoosh!
A chilly golden current shot out to meet the hundred-meter huge fireball in an instant.
An amazing scene occurred—once the fireball touched the golden chilly air, it instantly sealed in ice.
Krak, krak, krak...
Shortly within a few breaths, the fireball was frozen into a huge ice ball, releasing chilly air into its surroundings. The large fireball rapidly shrunk into its original white flame.
The white flame darted all over the place as it crashed onto the ice ball madly, trying to break free.
How could Meng Lei allow that to happen?
The ice ball shrunk swiftly as well to just ten meters in size in an instant, forming a frozen prison trapping the white flame inside.
Bam, bam, bam!
“You baddie! Let me out!
“Baddie! You’re a villain!”
The white flame kept scolding furiously as it rammed the interior of the ice ball, but it was just helpless against the ice ball.
“A youth who knows no fear.” Meng Lei laughed softly and shook his head, tightening the shrunk ice ball even more. “I’ll only let you out whenever you give in.”
“Let’s go, Dodola!”
Meng Lei waved for Dodola and prepared to leave.
“Hey, baddie! Where are you going?”
The white flame was becoming anxious.
“I’m leaving here.”
Meng Lei did not look back.
“Don’t... Don’t go! It’s too cold down here!” The white flame panicked. “Let me out, and I’ll not attack you, at most, okay?”
“You sure you won’t attack again?” Meng Lei turned his head and smiled.
Now little thing, that’ll teach you a lesson!
“No... No, I won’t!”
“What if you attack again?”
“Baddie! I said I wouldn’t, and I’ll definitely not, I always keep my word!” the white flame replied angrily.
“Alright, that’s what you said!”
Meng Lei withdrew the icy prison with a wave of hands, but once the white flame was freed, it was poised to initiate another attack—it hated Meng Lei to the core!
“Hmm? Attacking me again? How did you manage to forget what you’ve said just now?” Meng Lei raised his eyebrows, and chilling currents flowed out of his fingertips.
The white flame stopped still in mid-air and hesitated for a moment before it snorted. “You baddie! I’ll keep my word, I said I wouldn’t attack you, and I mean it!”
“Now that’s more like it. I like kids who keep their words.” Meng Lei chuckled. “Oh right! What’s your name?”
“Name?” The white flame was stupefied. “What’s a name?”
“Name is a designation, or what we call you. Everyone has a name, I’m Meng Lei, and that’s Dodola.” Meng Lei smiled. “Don’t tell me you don’t have a name? How about I name you?”
“Sure! Okay!”
The white flame was excited.
“Since your entire body is milky-white like milk...” Meng Lei said in a proper tone, “How about Wahaha[1]?”
“Wahaha? That sounds quite nice!” The white flame was quite excited.
“Of course! Wahaha AD calcium milk is a treasure that can strengthen divine bodies!”
Meng Lei praised, “Back in my hometown, everyone loves to drink Wahaha because it represents power, the symbol of strength...”
“Wow! Wahaha is so awesome! Okay, I’m called Wahaha!”
The white flame was full of enthusiasm. “Hahaha, I have a name now! Wahaha... Tsk, tsk, such a mighty name!”
Meng Lei almost burst into laughter as he maintained a calm expression. “Wahaha, let’s reintroduce ourselves. I’m Meng Lei, nice to meet you.”
“Er... er...”
Wahaha paused before it turned into a little snake with a fiery red body. “Nice to meet you too, I’m Wahaha!”
“What the heck? It’s a Salamander!”
Upon the sight of Wahaha’s true form, Dodola was shocked. “No wonder it possessed the power
