Chapter 423 – Leaving Phoenix Valley
After a while, Yun Che finally thought of the plot of the next story. He cleared his throat and was just about to begin his narration when the Phoenix God Jade that Feng Xue’er hung in front of her chest suddenly flickered with a crimson colored light.
Feng Xue’er picked up the Phoenix God Jade, and her expression, suddenly became somewhat gloomy.
“Xue’er, what’s wrong?” Yun Che immediately asked.
Feng Xue’er looked at Yun Che and said with a chaste look in her eyes, “It’s Father …… He will immediately come over here and then bring me back to Phoenix City. Brother Yun ……”
“…… Why is he bringing you back now? Isn’t it because your Father Emperor let you stay here alone because he has to be busy with the Ranking Battle and the Taikoo Xuan Boat. And right now should be the busiest time.” Yun Che asked with some confusion.
Feng Xue’er gently shook her head, “Father Emperor said that this is the first Seven Nation Ranking Battle since I was born, and that he would bring me to the site, and if I’m willing, he can also bring me on board the Swire Xuan Boat. Father Emperor has come to take me back now, so it should be that everything is ready.”
“You will go to the …… qualifying battle site?” Yun Che’s heart shook slightly.
“Well …… Brother Yun, you quickly leave here. If Father Emperor sees you here, it will …… be bad.” Feng Xue’er stood up with a somewhat panicked expression, and she grabbed Yun Che’s arm, but she didn’t push away from him, instead, she unconsciously gripped it tightly.
There were still three days to go before the qualifying battle began, and he actually should have left long ago. The reason why he hadn’t left was clear in his heart …… was that he couldn’t let go of Feng Xue’er. Her face, voice, mind, every look, every look, all firmly attracted him, making him as if he was sucked into an infinitely beautiful starry sky, sinking deeper and deeper.
In this world, there was no one who could resist her charm …… and Yun Che, by mistake, was incomparably fortunate to become the first person who could come into close contact with her.
“I should indeed leave.” Yun Che sighed in his heart, gazing at Feng Xue’er’s surging and flashing eyes, he raised his hand and placed it on Feng Xue’er’s head, his fingers slowly sliding down along her long hair……. With this overly intimate action, Feng Xue’er’s eyes only trembled for a moment, but she didn’t repel it, “Xue’er, these days, I will always remember. Thank you, and thank God for letting me meet you.”
“…… What brother Yun said is so strange.” Feng Xue’er flattened her fragrant lips, “In the future, we will meet again, right?”
“Of course.” Yun Che nodded with a smile, “Because I already promised to bring Xue’er to see the Thousand Mile Drifting Snow, my promise to Xue’er will never be forgotten.”
“Hmph!” Feng Xue’er nodded her head, her expression finally happier. Her eyes carried reluctance, but her hands, gently pushed Yun Che, “Although, I can’t bear to part with Brother Yun, but Brother Yun really should leave …… Father Emperor he will come here in less than half a quarter of an hour, and if he doesn’t leave again, he will really be discovered by Father Emperor. ”
“…… I’m leaving.” Yun Che’s hand left Feng Xue’er’s shoulder, and after giving her an incomparably serious look, he finally turned around before calling over the Snow Phoenix Beast.
The Snow Phoenix Beast flew in front of him, and when he was about to leap onto the Snow Phoenix Beast’s back, Yun Che stopped his footsteps, he turned around, his hands quietly clenched, and finally managed to say softly, “Xue’er, if …… I mean if there is a day that you find out… . there are some things that I have deceived you, will you hate me? Will you still recognize me as brother Yun?”
“Ah?” Yun Che’s sudden words caused Feng Xue’er to be a bit bewildered, “Why would Brother Yun say such strange words? How could Brother Yun deceive me?”
“I’m saying that if words …… if there are some things that really are me deceiving you, would you hate me?” Yun Che’s voice lowered even one point, not a long sentence, but it was extraordinarily difficult to say.
“I …… don’t know.” Feng Xue’er shook her head, her eyes a little disoriented, as if she couldn’t understand this question Yun Che had asked, she softly said, “But, these days with Brother Yun, all I feel is how good Brother Yun is to me, every day, he snows for me, teaches me to pile up a snowman, cooks delicious food for me, and tells me a lot of good stories… …Brother Yun’s smile is very pretty and his eyes are very gentle, these days, I’m so happy every day, even the dreams I have when I sleep have become very beautiful.”
Yun Che: “……”
“Such a brother Yun, I don’t believe that he would be willing to deceive me. Even if …… even if he did cheat, it would definitely be out of necessity and not for the sake of wanting to hurt me.” Feng Xue’er’s every word was gentle and sincere, this was the voice from her heart, “I will always remember how good brother Yun is to me, and what was promised to me …… In the future, no matter what happens, I believe that brother Yun will never hurt me, and I will never do anything to hurt brother Yun. ”
Feng Xue’er’s last words caused Yun Che to be slightly puzzled, but even more so, they touched his heart fiercely. He did not say anything else because under Feng Xue’er’s gaze that was as pure as snow, no matter what he said, it would be incomparably pale. He leapt onto the Snow Phoenix Beast’s back and rose up in the air under the drive of the Snow Phoenix Beast, flying straight to the Feng Jie Cliff. Feng Xue’er had already told him that the other three directions of the Qifeng Valley should have people guarding there, and if he wanted to leave safely without alerting anyone, he still had to go through the Phoenix Jie Cliff.
“Brother Yun, in the future, I will often come here …… I will wait for brother Yun to appear again ……”
“Brother Yun, don’t forget the words between us. After I turn twenty, I must take me to the Ice Extreme Snow Region ……”
“Brother Yun, Little Bai Bai, I will miss you all so much ……”
The wind whistled in her ears, Feng Xue’er’s shouts came from below against the wind, and her final voice even brought with it a crying tone that she tried to suppress.
A thousand feet in height was nothing to the Snow Phoenix Beast. Soon, the top of the Feng Jie Cliff appeared in front of Yun Che’s eyes, and Yun Che dropped down from the Snow Phoenix Beast’s back and stood at the edge of the cliff, and in the turquoise valley below that was like a paradise beyond the world, he could vaguely see the silhouette that was like an elf.
She was the princess of the Divine Phoenix Empire, the brightest pearl in the entire Tianxuan Continent. She was protected to the extreme …… but at the same time, she was also lonely, right …… so she would be so happy and fluttering in these days when she rashly intruded into her world.
“Little Chan, do you want to stay by her side?” Yun Che’s gaze looked down below and suddenly spoke out.
“Chirp ……” The Snow Phoenix Beast’s wings flapped with a soft chirp, and its noble head made several …… nodding motions in succession!
Hm? Nodding!
Yun Che stared fiercely at the Snow Phoenix Beast with an extremely grudging and indignant look …… Even if Xue’er’s charm can’t be resisted, even if you really want to accompany her, but you’re at least my contracted Xuan Beast now ah ah ah ah! Can’t you be a little more reserved, even if you are a little more hypocritical ah ah ah!
…… Forget it.
Yun Che crooked his mouth and stretched out his wrist, the Xuan Seal of the Snow Phoenix Beast appearing on the back of his hand. With a thought, he directly cut off the Xuan Force connection with the Snow Phoenix Beast, and the Xuan Seal on the back of his hand, also slowly disappeared at once.
The Snow Phoenix Beast completely regained its freedom as it lifted its wings and flew up, circling and fluttering above Yun Che’s head, emitting a shrill cry that he didn’t know whether it was excited or unwilling to give up.
Looking at the Snow Phoenix Beast that had regained its freedom, what Yun Che had in his heart wasn’t gloominess more than anything else, but rather a sense of relief as he smiled and said, “Little Chan, go. By following me, you will only be laboring hard and in danger all over the place. Accompany Xue’er, she likes you so much that she will definitely treat you well, and you no longer need to always accompany me to toil and suffer …… Go.”
Chirp ~~~~~~
A long chirp, loud and clear broke through the sky. After the Snow Phoenix Beast flew for a long time, it finally descended and flew towards the Qifeng Valley below. Soon, in Yun Che’s line of sight, those two snow-white shadows slowly converged together.
Yun Che let out a smile, and after giving one last deep look, he retreated two steps back before collecting all his reluctance and walking towards the south.
“Why did you let the Snow Phoenix Beast leave?” Jasmine couldn’t help but ask, “You can’t fly yet, without the Snow Phoenix Beast, what will you do when you need to fly?”
Yun Che shook his head and said, “I gave the Snow Phoenix Beast to Xue’er not just because Xue’er likes him. Rather, it’s because I don’t know if I can successfully stay alive in the middle of this ranking battle. If unlucky …… at least the Snow Phoenix Beast doesn’t have to accompany me to die, that is, if I can preserve it, it can also be considered a little bit of compensation for Xue’er …… she has a pure heart for me, and I, after all, have deceived her.”
“Hum ……” Jasmine coldly laughed: “Deceiving girls, has not always been your usual means! You’ve never felt so guilty before.”
“That’s different.” Yun Che bristled, “Conquest and deception are two very different concepts that you, a little girl, wouldn’t understand.”
“……” Jasmine answered disdainfully, and turned to say, “On the matter of whether or not you’ll be able to save your life this time, I do have some good news to tell you.”
“Good news?”
Jasmine said indifferently, “If I guessed correctly, after your phoenix bloodline was known by the Phoenix God Sect, what you are most afraid of is actually not the Phoenix God Sect, but the Phoenix God Sect’s true originator …… is another Phoenix Spirit just like the Phoenix Spirit you encountered in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range in the first place. ”
Yun Che’s footsteps lurched, then slowly nodded, “You are completely right. Back then, when I left the Phoenix Trial Land, the Phoenix Spirit also emphatically warned me that I must be careful of the existence of another Phoenix Spirit. The Phoenix Spirit of the Phoenix God Sect has always thought that the Phoenix Spirit that gave me my inheritance has long been extinguished by it, and if it knows that the Phoenix bloodline in my body is from another Phoenix Inheritance …… , then what will suffer will not just be me alone, the Phoenix Spirit of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, as well as that Phoenix Clan that has just gotten rid of from the curse, will all possibly suffer a a great disaster.” Yun Che let out a low sigh, “But with the bloodline exposed, yet I have to face the Phoenix God Clan as soon as possible, otherwise, the ones who will be implicated, will be the people around me …… So on the way from Cangfeng Country to here, I’ve been praying that that Phoenix Spirit has been in the shadows, and won’t have any interest in prying into what happened in the Ranking Battle. ”
“This Phoenix Spirit, you no longer have to worry about.” Jasmine sounded emotionless.
“Why?”
“Because …… it is dead!”
“What? Dead?” Yun Che’s footsteps stopped for a moment, “Are you sure? Wait! How do you know it’s dead??”
“Hey ……,” Jasmine laughed evilly, “You don’t need to care about how I know, although it shouldn’t have been dead for a long time, I can be sure that it’s dead! Only, even though it’s dead, its bloodline and memories have been passed down, but it’s very likely that it has been passed down, so in this world, there might still be someone who recognizes that your bloodline comes from another Phoenix Inheritance.”
Yun Che’s spirit was instantly revitalized, and he certainly wouldn’t doubt the words that Jasmine had spoken in such a certain tone, “Very well! If the Phoenix Divine Sect’s Phoenix Spirit is truly dead, then my biggest concern will disappear! In this way, I will be able to perform without any worries in the ranking battle!”
“So? What percentage of certainty do you have right now that the Phoenix God Sect will never come after you again from now on, and that you’ll survive?”
“Seventy percent!!!” Yun Che said confidently, “Maybe, we can even stroll around that mysterious and unpredictable Taikoo Xuan Boat!”
