Chapter 2778

Little Phoenix kept trying to persuade Feng Wu.

Feng Wu said, “If it’s so precious, why don’t you fetch it yourself? Since you’ve been hounding me, does that mean you can’t do it on your own?”

Little Phoenix didn’t mind its little plan being exposed. It only said, “You couldn’t wait to go to Peace Grassland when you heard you could find the Immortal Spiritual Fruit there.

“You’ll have nowhere to take shelter in the vast grassland. The enemy can easily catch you if you aren’t capable enough.

“Not only won’t you find the Immortal Spiritual Fruit, you’ll also be forced to marry some enemy soldier and bear his children. What a miserable life.”

Feng Wu began to frown.

Little Phoenix went on. “However, things would be different if you had two Spiritual Kings as your bodyguards. We’ll protect you! Moreover, Zuo Qingluan is on her own, whereas we’ll have three Spiritual Kings. She’ll be the one at a disadvantage.”

The bird nagged on, and Feng Wu heard enough. She said, “Fine, fine. The spirit wine, is it? Where can I find it?”

Little Phoenix immediately stopped nagging and said excitedly, “I’ll tell you once you’re there. The slightest mistake will render it useless!”

Feng Wu rubbed her forehead. “Didn’t you say you buried the spirit liquid? Are you sure it has turned into spirit wine?”

...

Little Phoenix said, “Yes, it’s very likely.”

Feng Wu said, “Talk to me once we’re there. I don’t think anyone would have touched it.”

Little Phoenix said, “Yes! It’ll definitely be intact!”

It had been a precocious thing it did many years ago.

The bird hadn’t known it would reincarnate. It had only planned to hide here when it was severely injured and sip the spirit wine while it waited to recover.

It had never occurred to the bird that it would be so weak one day that it couldn’t open the seal.

“Feng Wu? Hello?”

Chen Ziyun tried to talk to Feng Wu while she was communicating with the bird.

“We’ve almost reached the boundary of the 10km-area, but we still haven’t found any Spirit Stone Worms.”

Feng Wu said, “Hm, let’s keep moving.”

Chen Ziyun paled. “What? Keep moving? No, we can’t! The map doesn’t cover that far, and we won’t know the way!”

Feng Wu thought for a moment and said, “How about this? You stay here, and I’ll finish the journey on my own. Didn’t Elder Wu give us separate missions? You’ll kill 1,000, and I’ll kill 4,000. It’ll work better that way.”

She was about to step out of the boundary.

Chen Ziyun frowned and said sternly, “Feng Wu, I have no problem protecting you, but you’ve crossed the line!”

Feng Wu looked at him, perplexed by his sudden outburst and reprimand.

She narrowed her eyes.

Chen Ziyun said, “I’m helping you because you’re His Royal Highness’s fiancee!”

Feng Wu said, “How did you know that? Who told you?”
