Bai Chen Feng curled his lips, a beastly light flashed through his eyes, “Yes, I will listen to the Lion Emperor’s orders.”

After eight days, Mo Si and the rest returned.
Flowing Cloud Flying Carriage was passing through the edges of Ji Mo Clan’s territory, a path taken by Huan Qing Yan and Ji Mo Ya previously…
It is to where the volcano is located.
Huan Qing Yan pointed below and asked, “Did Bally and the rest moved in already?”
Ji Mo Ya was clutching Huan Qing Yan’s hand and playing it with intoxicated eyes that felt like the boundless ocean.
“Based on the time, they should have moved in already.”
“Then let us go down to take a look.” Huan Qing Yan excitedly suggested.
Ji Mo Ya did not object, this place had a natural formation that also prevents flying, it would be troublesome for them to waste time to fly around this place if they wanted to pass through.
The two disembarked from the flying carriage and walked. From afar, they noticed two rows of little figures waiting to receive them.
Huan Qing Yan chuckled, “Look at them, although they are small, they have lots of manners!”
The Gnomes might rarely interact with the outside world, but they naturally understood what a basic courtesy is. Moreover, Ji Mo Ya was the one that provided them a new place to settle; their respectful behavior was only a given.
Dorna stood at the very front of the procession and was approaching them excitedly, “When the mountain patrols told me that the two of you are here, I nearly did not believe them. To think that they did not recognize wrongly.”
Huan Qing Yan smiled and said, “We happen to be passing through, what is the current situation like? Are there any problems?”
“No problems! It’s all thanks to Young Master Ya’s great support of resources, the construction is very smooth.” Dorna quickly added, “How about I bring the two of you for a tour?”
As he spoke, he walked up and seem to attempt to pull Huan Qing Yan’s hand.
Ji Mo Ya took a big step forward and pulled Huan Qing Yan, and walked in front.
Huan Qing Yan did not change her smile, she turned and said, “I had the intention to take a look as well, let’s go!”
Dorna rubbed the back of his head, he waved his hand towards the two rows of Gnomes, ordering them to disperse before quickly catching up with the two.
The Gnomes had modified their new home. The once short and small cave entrance had been turned into a large bronze gate. Although it was not very big, it was more than enough for an average human to enter.
They might have taken into consideration that they were now within the lands of the Ji Mo Clan and no longer need to be as wary as before. Also, they were planning to interact with humans in the future, the previous style for an entrance was naturally no longer suitable.
After entering, it was still the same cave, just that it had become much more extensive than before.
The volcano entrance that revealed the sky was still there. However, they had built several additional tunnels and accommodation based on the foundation.
What attracted most of their attention was the large Gnome Furnaces; several had already been constructed, with many more of those being work-in-progress.
From afar, a dense group of small green figures was moving about like busy and hard-working ants.
Buzzing activities were spread out in front of them.
“We plan to construct a few more furnaces here; on top of increasing efficiency, we could also absorb the geothermal fire energy underneath and prevent the probability of a volcano eruption.”
Dorna took them to the underground lava lake and introduced.
Huan Qing Yan was slightly worried, “You must consider this clearly. It will be terrible if something is to happen, all of you might be caught in a sea of fire.”
Ji Mo Ya interjected, “This area hasn’t experienced a volcano eruption for many years, the clan has inspected and confirmed this in the past. Nothing like that will happen.”
Dorna nodded, “Foolish Girl, rest assured, I am just telling of the possible plan. As this is a serious matter, we will naturally be cautious about it and perform regular checks. We are experienced in these.”
