"You can speak?" Ning asked the spirit.


    The spirit moved behind the princess and peeked slowly. "Who are you?" it asked.


    "Don''t worry, Fifi. That''s my teacher. He won''t hurt you," the princess said.


    "Really?" Fifi cautiously flew out and looked at Ning. "Yes, I can speak, but only because I bonded with her and know hernguage now."


    "Ah," Ning realized. "Wait, Fifi?"


    "Fifi?" Fifi himself turned around to the princess who had already named him.


    "Yes, Fifi. Because you can use fire, and now I can use fire," the princess said.


    "Fire?" Ning looked surprised. "Your powers are fire rted?"


    "Yes!" the princess said and moved forth her hand. Suddenly, a massive fire exploded in the middle of the two, reaching nearly 3 meters in height.


    Ning felt back a little in surprise and then got scared. "Stop!" he ordered and the princess stopped.


    He immediately ran up to the princess and checked her all over. "Are you okay? Are you burned?" he asked.


    "I''m fine, teacher," the princess said. "Fire doesn''t hurt me."


    "Oh," Ning only then understood what sort of powers the little princess had gotten.


    ''Sigh, I can''t let her leave just like this,'' he thought. ''She will burn her house down.''


    "When we return, I think I will— Janice?" he looked around confused as the princess was gone. However, before he got scared, he saw a small blue spirit looking at him from the snow.


    "What are you doing hiding there?" Ning grabbed the princess and pulled her out of the snow.


    "Hehehe! It''s so fun, master," the princessughed, and the spirit did so along with her.


    "You wanna see if it''s fun?" Ning asked. ''System, pause all effects of the ne.''


    <Done.>


    Instantly, the princess''s eyes went wide in shock from the cold and she immediately fell to the ground from the immediate change in temperature.


    The ne had been protecting the princess from the cold until now, so when the protection disappeared, she felt the cold and no longer felt so fun.


    However, even as she went into shock, Fifi came to her rescue and suddenly sted fire onto the princess himself.


    The fire didn''t hurt the princess obviously, but there was no longer any coldness around her, so the princess could stand back up.


    "Not bad," he said and had the system reinstate the ne''s powers. Once they were activated, Fifi stopped.


    "Let''s go," Ning said and teleported back to the group along with the princess.


    When they reappeared, and the group of 3 saw that the princess''s hair had changed to violet as well, they were beyond surprised.


    "In just 10 minutes?" Tessa asked in surprise.


    "Actually we spent 5 minutes ying in the snow," the princess said.


    "So, that''s your spirit, huh?" the slime said.


    "Hello, my name is Fifi," the spirit spoke, making everyone''s eyes go wide, including Saphandra.


    "Wait, you can speak?" Tessa looked surprised. "Slyph, can you speak?"


    Sylph shook his head.


    The slime knew Frost couldn''t speak, so he didn''t even bother asking him.


    "Haha, I win. My Fifi can speak," the princessughed.


    "But how?" Tessa was confused.


    "He''s just that advanced of a spirit," Ning exined from what he could understand.


    "Yeah, I have been here for a long time, doing nothing but gathering energy. At some point, I could think really well, and now I can speak," he said.


    "Amazing," Tessa looked in awe.


    "Right,e here you two. Let me change your hair," Ning said. He turned Tessa''s hair to green, and the princess''s hair to yellow.


    "No, I want green too," the princes grumbled.


    "Later," Ning said. "You can even have violet if you wantter."


    "Alright, we can leave now," Ning said. "You''reing too."


    Ning spoke to the slime.


    "Okay," the slime said. "Let''s leave."


    "Do you want to leave?" Ning asked.


    Saphandra thought for a second. "Maybe a littleter. I want to visit this snowy ce that the princess talked about."


    "Okay then, be safe. I''ll be back in a bit," Ning said and he disappeared with the three of them.


    The four of them arrived outside the ind and then disappeared again.


    Ning first took them to the slime''s homnd where the many beasts were waiting for their master toe back home.


    As soon as he did, the beasts went crazy with happiness. Tessa nearly used some sort of skill when she saw the horde of beasts run towards them.


    Once that was done, Ning took to the princess''s pce where he met with the parents of the princess that were quite worried for her.


    "Mother! Father! look. This is Fifi," the princess showed off her spirit the moment she returned.


    The King and Queen saw something blue sneak out from the side as it spoke to them. "Hello!"


    The moment they realized that their daughter had acquired a spirit, they were beyond surprised. The surprise only increased when they realized she now had violet hair, hidden beneath the yellow dye.


    "You did this?" the King asked Ning.


    "Kind of, but the princess did it herself for the most part. She surprised me too," Ning said.


    "Thank you," the queen said from the side. "The amount of help you had done for our family is not something we can pay in this generation."


    Tessa looked from the side as the King and Queen humbled themselves before Ning.


    "Janice,e here," Ning called the princess before it he left.


    "What is it teacher?" the princess asked.


    "I have put a skill inside your ne, okay? Fifi, you listen to this as well. If there is ever a fire that you start identally, or you need to put out, use the skill on the ne. I have added a red gem there that will work for it," Ning told her.


    "Really?" the princess checked her ne. "Wow, how did a geme here? You didn''t even touch it."


    "That''s just your teacher''s powers," Ning said. "Alright, stay safe. I wille to visit in a few days."


    "Okay, teacher," the princess said.
