You You thought that since the Phoenix Clan was a divine race, even if they genuinely wanted to join the True Transformation Sect, they would probably need a period of adjustment. However, to your surprise, they adapted very quickly. As Feng Qing said, the Phoenix Clan was basically uninterested in anything other than their mates. And among the awakened Phoenix Clan, more than half already had mates. These phoenixes mostly stayed on the five peaks, either showing off their affection or on their way to do so.

The single phoenixes, however, were quite diligent and surprisingly enthusiastic and earnest. With so many more people to care for in the sect, each phoenix naturally had to contribute, especially after they voluntarily joined. As the supervisor, Ling Qi wouldn't stand on ceremony with them, so they also had sect missions.

Although the tasks weren't difficult for them, surprisingly every phoenix completed them diligently. The single phoenixes, in particular, not only completed their tasks beautifully but also occasionally helped those in their clan who were struggling, making the work twice as easy. Whether it was exploring secret realms, planting spiritual plants, opening furnaces to gather energy, instructing disciples, or selling sect products, they did whatever was given to them without complaint.

Sometimes they even volunteered to work overtime to help the ordinary disciples in the sect, appearing to be friendly and helpful good disciples of the sect, as if they would be kicked out of the sect if they did less work. At first, Youyou was worried that they might have misunderstood her. Although she said that everyone in the sect, whether god or human, was treated equally, she did not mean to exploit them.

Until one day, she accidentally encountered a single phoenix and his interactions with the female disciples of the sect.

"Junior Sister Yiling, are you going on a mission? Is it a secret realm training, guarding spiritual plants, or exorcising evil spirits? I'm very familiar with all of these. Look at my extracurricular activity points this period, I've maxed them out. Why don't I go with you?"

"Huh? You're not doing any missions right now? Well, we can go roast some sunflower seeds together!"

"Oh, you cultivate the path of ruthlessness and don't get married! Do you still take in husbands and servants? The kind where there's a chance to make them your wives."

"It's okay if I don't get a permanent position for now. Wait, junior sister, don't go!"

"Okay, then I'll roll away. Which way would you like me to roll?"

Youyou: "..."

So, all these single phoenixes are doing so many tasks and trying to join a sect just because it's an essential skill for finding a partner? What kind of race is this, where everyone is obsessed with romance?

Just as she was thinking of assigning some tasks to these bored, single women, Feng Rong stormed in, looking furious. She even circled her twice, her eyes filled with resentment, staring intently at her. Her face practically screamed, "Hurry up and ask me why I'm angry?!"

You You sighed and had no choice but to put down the report in her hand and say, "Didn't you say the clan needed you for something? Why are you back so soon?"

Feng Rong stopped in her tracks, and then, as if she had just thought of something, she stepped forward, pulled You You up, and embraced her.

"Hey~" Youyou was caught off guard and suddenly found herself in a tight embrace, and was momentarily stunned.

But then she heard Feng Rong's voice, filled with deep grievance, "Youyou, shall we get married?"

"Huh?" She was stunned for a moment. Was it that sudden? "What's wrong?" He clearly looked like he had been hit hard.

“It’s all because of those phoenixes in the clan…” Feng Rong buried her head and rubbed against her face, hugging her even tighter. After a while, she said with some resentment, “I clearly found a partner before any of them, but they insist that those who are not married do not count, and they insist on counting me as one of the group without a partner. Humph! I have Youyou, I am not a single phoenix that no one wants.”

"..." Just because of this? You You's lips twitched. No, does your Phoenix Clan discriminate against single people?

“It’s one thing that they’re blind, but…” he said, as if remembering something, “they actually wanted me to take turns caring for those two eggs.”

"Wait..." You Youyue was increasingly confused. He pulled away from the person who was clinging to him tightly and asked seriously, "Are you talking about those two eggs that haven't awakened yet?"

“That’s right!” Feng Rong said, feeling even more aggrieved. “The clan has come up with a plan: the young phoenixes will channel divine power into the eggs every day at noon, which might help them wake up sooner.”

"Since that's the case, you're the strongest among the Phoenix Clan's gods, so it's only natural that they would ask you for help, right?" You You was a little confused; he wasn't such a petty person.

"No way!" Feng Rong immediately exploded, her voice rising several octaves as if she had been utterly insulted. "I clearly have a partner, why should I go hatch eggs with them? They're the ones who have to hatch eggs, their whole family has to hatch eggs!"

"..." What the heck?

"Hmph, in the Phoenix Clan, only phoenixes without mates are responsible for raising their cubs and guarding the eggs." Feng Rong was even more indignant, gritting her teeth as she said, "They are clearly just jealous that I was the first in the clan to find a mate, and they are deliberately causing trouble. I would rather die than go!"

"..." The Phoenix Clan has such a tradition? So being a single Phoenix is ​​really this miserable? Not only do they suffer discrimination from other Phoenixes, but they also have to take care of the young in the clan. This tradition... are you Phoenixes or penguins, for crying out loud?

"Youyou...you'll help me, right?" His voice suddenly lowered, and his face fell, revealing a pitiful expression, as if it would be a sin not to agree. If...his eyes hadn't been shining, practically screaming: "Agree, agree, agree!"

Youyou: "..."

The initial flutter in her heart vanished instantly. She reached out and pressed her hand against his face, pushing him away slightly. "Go back and wash up and go to sleep!" She could have anything in her dreams.

“Youyou…” Feng Rong continued to try to cling to him.

But then a disciple outside the door announced that Shuiyan had arrived.
