âHeâs okay. We are watching him. How could anything happen to him?â Lin Yuan said nonchalantly. Feng Aoran was really too insensible. He only thought about going out to see his relatives, but he didnât think about how he would explain his presence to his family if he really went out.
âIâll go see him,â Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Alas, it wasnât that she wasnât sympathetic, but she couldnât risk exposing her secret. Although the Feng family was her ally, not all of the Feng family had her trust.
Leng Ruoxue went straight to Feng Aoranâs bamboo house, pushed the door open, and walked in.
âAoran,â she called out softly.
âWhen can I meet the first elder and Grandpa?â asked Feng Aoran, who was sitting on the bed with his back facing Leng Ruoxue.
âYou can meet them after we save Feng Da and leave,â Leng Ruoxue explained lightly. She knew that Aoran was a little angry at her because of this.
With that, Leng Ruoxue left Feng Aoranâs house and entered the purple bamboo house.
Inside the house, Qing Jue was guarding Freakâs body.
Qing Jue threw himself into Leng Ruoxueâs arms and said coquettishly, âBig Sister, youâre here.â
âQing Jue, itâs been hard on you.â Leng Ruoxue hugged Qing Jue gratefully. She was very touched that Qing Jue had been taking care of Freakâs body for her.
âNot at all. But Big Sister, what do you intend to do with Ye Chenâs body?â Qing Jue asked curiously.?Does Big Sister just plan to keep the corpse here?
âI donât know either. Letâs leave it here first,â Leng Ruoxue said sadly. She really didnât want Freak to leave her, but she also knew that she couldnât keep him by her side forever. Otherwise, her grandfather and the others would be worried to death.
âBig Sister, who is this person?â Baby asked cautiously while his big blue eyes stared intently at the man on the bed.
âHe is the person Big Sister likes,â Leng Ruoxue explained, her gentle eyes looking at Freak wrapped in ice on the bed.
âIsnât Baby who Big Sister likes?â Baby asked with raging jealousy, but the expression on his little face was pitiful.
âOf course, I like Baby too!â Leng Ruoxue coaxed helplessly.?Why is Baby so possessive??Her head hurt again.
âThen why can Big Sister like others?â Baby pouted unhappily.
âUh, Baby, thatâs different.â Leng Ruoxue really didnât know how to explain a relationship problem with an underage little beast.
âWhatâs different?â Baby didnât understand. He only knew what the feeling âlikeâ was.
âYouâre still young. Youâll know when you grow up.â
After comforting Baby, Leng Ruoxue said to Qing Jue, âQing Jue, Iâm going out first.â
When Leng Ruoxue left the Heaven and Earth Bracelet and returned to her room, she saw Leng Qingtian and the others waiting for her here.
âGrandpa, why arenât you guys resting?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
âWe were waiting for you!â Old Man answered first.
âOh, is anything the matter?â
âRuoxue, what are we going to do about the first elder and Feng Jing?â Lin Liang asked with a bitter face. They didnât dare to enter the space with the two outsiders around.
âI donât know either,â Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Of the two, one was Big Brother Fengâs grandfather, and the other was the Feng familyâs first elder. For the sake of Big Brother Fengâs face, she couldnât chase them away. Moreover, the Feng family was her ally. Alas, they would talk about it again in the future!
âXueâer, send us into your space to rest!â Leng Qingtian said. He knew that there was nothing Xueâer could do, so he wouldnât ask such a question.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue sent the three old men into space and lay on the bed in her room to have a simple rest.
â¦
Around dusk, Feng Lingâer came to look for them.
Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived at the main hall of the Phoenix clan with Feng Lingâer.
The hall was built with sycamore wood, and it was for meetings and banquets of the Phoenix clan. Leng Ruoxue and the others felt a rush of fire-attribute spiritual power as soon as they entered.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the grand hall of the Phoenix clan, which was dazzling in gold and jade, while thinking that she really didnât know who designed this hall to be so similar to human imperial palaces. The only difference was that the pillars and walls of this hall were carved with flying phoenixes.
âMiss Leng, are you satisfied with our Phoenix clanâs chamber hall?â a handsome young man with an extraordinary demeanor asked with a faint smile on the throne.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âVery nice,â Leng Ruoxue praised. There were many divine beasts in the Phoenix clan, so it was normal for them to absorb some human thoughts and ideas while traveling the continent.
âI am Feng Zhan, the king of the Phoenix clan. Please come in and have a seat!â the man on the throne introduced himself and then said very politely.
âLittle Sister Ruoxue, the Phoenix clan doesnât have so many rules. Donât stand on ceremony,â Feng Lingâer said while pulling Leng Ruoxue to sit down.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue nodded after sitting down. If she didnât know that they were divine beasts, she would definitely think that they were humans because the etiquette of these divine beasts was more thorough than some humans.
Leng Qingtian and the others nodded at the Phoenix King and sat down next to Leng Ruoxue. But they were all a little nervous. They would be dead meat if the Phoenix clan harbored any ill intentions toward them.
On the throne, Feng Zhan carefully observed and took in the expressions of everyone. Then he turned all his attention to Leng Ruoxue. His mind was full of thoughts.?Can such a weak woman really be the person in the legend?
Soon after everyone sat down, plate after plate of fruits was served. Leng Ruoxue and the others were at a loss for words.?Uh! We wonât be eating these things, right?
âMiss Leng, Iâm really sorry. There isnât much food for humans in our Phoenix Clan, so we can only entertain you with these fruits.â Feng Zhan was slightly embarrassed.
âItâs okay. We arenât too hungry. Itâs enough to eat some fruits,â Leng Ruoxue lied through her teeth.
