After failing her nirvana, the Phoenix Empress opened her eyes to find herself reborn into a mortal girl in a world of declining magic. This girl was also the true daughter of a wealthy family, los...
Chapter 503 You are quite loyal
Tushan Yuhua continued to study his Sky Fox inheritance, and occasionally gave guidance to the new disciples of Bureau 749.
Kuiniu, on the other hand, spends his days eating and sleeping, and only goes to the training ground to play around when he feels like it.
"The old cow is getting lazier and lazier now."
Tushan Yuhua absorbed the essence of the Sky Fox's tailbone while shaking her head, "I used to practice cultivation, but now I just lie down all day."
"What do you know!"
Kuiniu turned over and swung his tail, "I'm conserving my energy. When there's a fight, I'll decide the outcome in one go!"
Tushan Yuhua: "..."
On the other side, Ao Jiu took Huo Qinghuang directly back to the Huo family’s old house.
As for being held by someone...
Huo Qinghuang was not a pretentious person. It was not a good time for her to take action now, so she would rather avoid wasting her magic power.
With someone accompanying her, she certainly wouldn't suffer for the sake of saving face.
Ao Jiu originally planned to take the dragon fish away after returning from the Fox Demon Secret Realm. After all, as the prince of the dragon clan, he couldn't stay outside all the time and sit in charge of the dragon vein.
But when he thought that Huo Qinghuang was in a weak period and could not use his full strength in the short term, he changed his mind.
"I will stay and protect you."
In front of the gate of the Huo family's old house, Ao Jiu held Huo Qinghuang in one hand, lowered the light of escape, and added, "It's a thank you for taking in Longyu."
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him sideways, smiling: "Oh? You are quite loyal?"
Ao Jiu snorted coldly and turned away: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to owe you a favor."
"Okay, as long as you're happy."
Huo Qinghuang did not argue with him and turned around and stepped into the Huo family's old house.
"The young lady is back!"
Butler Wang came forward in surprise, but when he was three steps away, he suddenly shuddered, as if he had bumped into an invisible wall.
Huo Qinghuang paused, and the thunder power that had not yet been fully integrated into her body caused a faint golden glow to emanate from her body.
Ao Jiu calmly stood sideways in front of Huo Qinghuang, releasing a little dragon power to isolate her from any external interference.
"She needs rest."
He said briefly, his voice full of unquestionable authority.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him, said nothing, and walked straight to the backyard.
Her current state is indeed not suitable for contact with ordinary people. The power of the Phoenix True Fire and the thunder tribulation will occasionally overflow uncontrollably. Even just a trace of it is enough to be fatal to mortals.
"That person is..."
Mrs. Huo stood at the second-floor window, looking curiously at her daughter and Ao Jiu's receding backs.
"It's Ao Jiu."
Huo Yuheng put down the newspaper and said, "Qing Huang brought him back before. He was Lao Wu's savior. Have you forgotten?"
Mrs. Huo's eyes lit up: "Is it him? But considering Qing Huang's personality, he was able to bring her home several times and even let her live in our backyard for so many days. They must be related to each other."
She turned around and walked downstairs, "I have to ask Ling Chuan, he must know something."
Huo Yuheng shook his head and did not stop him.
By the backyard pond, Ao Jiu was bending over to check on the condition of the dragon fish.
The dragon fish was practicing, and sensing his presence, it jumped out of the water happily, its scales sparkling in the sunlight.
"It looks like it's doing well here."
Ao Jiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a drop of light golden liquid condensed on his fingertips and dripped into the water.
The dragon fish immediately swam over and swallowed it, and the scales on its body suddenly became brighter.
Huo Qinghuang sat on a rattan chair in the corridor, closed her eyes and regulated her breathing.
A thin golden halo surrounded her body, her hair moved without wind, and occasionally tiny electric flashes jumped on the surface of her skin.
"You fed it dragon blood?"
She spoke suddenly without opening her eyes.
Ao Jiu snorted lightly: "It's just diluted blood essence. This is the last dragon fish in this world, it must grow up quickly."
Huo Qinghuang had a blank expression on her face: "It's up to you. But don't feed too much, this pond can't stand a dragon fish."
As the two were talking, footsteps were heard in the distance.
Huo Lingchuan came running over in a hurry, holding a tray in his hand.
"Sister, mom asked me to bring some snacks."
As he said this, he approached Ao Jiu with a flattering smile.
This man is a real dragon, he must be served well.
Ao Jiu waved his hand and brought a tray from mid-air, on which were some exquisite snacks and a pot of scented tea.
He picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and tasted it, his brows relaxed, "It tastes good."
He glanced at Huo Lingchuan and praised him against his will: "Your cultivation has improved a lot."
It took him three years of practice to reach the ninth level of internal strength. It was unknown when he would be able to condense the blood of a true dragon.
Huo Lingchuan was so happy as a child that he even forgot what Mrs. Huo had told him.
From the beginning of his practice until now, he has always been despised by his sister. Now he suddenly hears a word of praise. How easy is it for him!
Woo woo woo, he has decided that Ao Jiu will be his closest friend from now on, and no one can stop him!
Huo Lingchuan ran happily, rushed to the martial arts field and started practicing martial arts.
He now feels like he has endless energy and can kill a group of cows with one punch!
Seeing Huo Lingchuan coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched slightly and she ignored him.
It is not without benefits for Ao Jiu to live here.
At least I can teach Huo Lingchuan.
Ever since Huo Lingchuan's body was reshaped by Ao Jiu's dragon bone essence, she had not allowed him to continue practicing the True Phoenix Body Refining Technique.
Huo Lingchuan's body contains the essence of the True Dragon, so it is not suitable for him to practice the True Phoenix Body Refining Technique.
Originally, she was thinking of finding another martial arts book for Huo Lingchuan to practice, but who knew that because of the dragon fish, Ao Jiu ended up moving into the Huo family's old house.
Huo Lingchuan is a guy who takes advantage of others to get ahead. After seeing Ao Jiu, how could he let go of such a great god?
However, this is also his opportunity, so Huo Qinghuang will naturally not interfere.
From that day on, Ao Jiu lived in the Huo family's backyard and almost never went out.
Even when he ate, he had the servants bring his meals to the backyard and never set foot in the front hall.
The old man of the Huo family, Huo Yuheng, and Mrs. Huo had only met him once, but they felt that he was mysterious and had an extraordinary demeanor.
Especially Mrs. Huo, when she saw her daughter bringing back a friend for the first time, and such a special one, many thoughts suddenly emerged in her mind.
"This child, is he in love?"
She was making dumplings in the kitchen while muttering, "But this Mr. Ao is quite good, with outstanding temperament and elegant manners. You can tell at a glance that he comes from a wealthy family."
Huo Yuheng was drinking tea nearby. He smiled when he heard this: "You, don't make blind guesses. Qing Huang is still young, so how can she be in the mood to talk about these things?"
"You can't say that."
Mrs. Huo said seriously, "Girls always mature earlier. I think her attitude towards Mr. Ao is quite different."
Huo Yuheng: "..."
During this period of time, Huo Lingchuan became the only person who could get close to Ao Jiu besides Huo Qinghuang.
He knew Ao Jiu's identity, and he also knew that the power of this True Dragon Prince was unfathomable.
So, every two days, he would go to the backyard to ask questions about spiritual practice.
Of course, this was a mission assigned by Mrs. Huo.
He called it entertaining guests for his sister.
In fact, it is just "monitoring" the two people.
