Muo Huangnian trembled slightly, lifting his gaze just as the woman in the white velvet dress rushed out, heading straight for the Shrine of Worship. His voice suddenly dropped, "Stop!"
All the arrows halted immediately; two had nearly struck her.
But Qin Manman seemed deaf to his command, frantically sprinting toward the Shrine of Worship. She stumbled her way to the edge of the fire pit, bowing her head to look down, only to be blasted off her feet by the immense, searing heat. "Daddy…"
Her face was smudged with soot, yet it remained as pale as paper. She screamed in anguish, her cries piercing the air, "Daddy!"
Daddy's gone too… He jumped down, holding Mom…
Manman sat there in a daze until a man rushed over and crouched beside her, enveloping her in his arms. "Qin Manman," Muo Huangnian seized her chin, his arm wrapped tightly around her, "Have you gone mad? Move any closer, and the fire will burn you alive!"
