She did not have to stay close to him, but she did so anyway. Naturally, she wrapped her arm around his and said, "Can you figure this thing out? I tried to poke it with a finger, but my finger ended up getting burned."

Di Fuyi took her hand to observe it. "Which finger did you use?"

"This one." Gu Xijiu showed him her left hand. "I was concerned that the red fog might be poisonous, so I used my left hand."

Di Fuyi was not impressed. "Your left fingers are still your fingers, silly."

He checked the affected area and realized that it was no longer swollen or reddened. Gently, he gave it a rub. Gu Xijiu's heart melted. "It is fine. The pain was nothing."

"The red fog is the Chaotic Fog caused by the poisonous gas from the evil beast known as Chaos. It is extremely poisonous, so you must not touch it." While explaining, Di Fuyi also delivered one of the dead bodies into the fog. White smoke appeared while the body corroded into a pool of pus.
