Some of the assassins wounded by arrows clutched their injured arms, while others clutched their injured thighs, and they limped away.
Chirp chirped happily, "Well done, Xiao Feng!"
Phoenix: "Master, no, I have to erase their memories. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for them to see my true face."
Chirp: "Okay! Let's clear it up, let's clear it up."
The emperor pitifully said to Qiuqiu, "Could you please not erase my image? I finally saw the true form of the phoenix, and I don't want to forget it."
Chuchu: "But there will be a price to pay for that!"
The Emperor held Qiuqiu's hand and said, "My little darling, shall I bestow upon you the title of princess?"
Chiu Chiu shook her head.
The Emperor: "You don't even care about the princess? Then I..."
What's so great about being a princess? I want to eat, lots and lots of delicious food!
When the Emperor learned of Qiuqiu's thoughts, he thought to himself: What a child! Now that you're a princess, don't you want to have whatever you want to eat?
The Emperor looked at the phoenix and said, "Please wait a moment, let me talk to Qiuqiu again."
[Your Majesty, you must speak to my heart this time. Otherwise, I'd be too embarrassed to remind you.]
Phoenix was too preoccupied to listen to their nagging.
The phoenix flapped its wings at the assassins, and a shower of starlight fell upon them.
The phoenix flapped its wings again, and a gust of wind blew, instantly sending the assassins dozens of kilometers away to the Great Silver Kingdom.
The assassins who fell into the Great Silver Kingdom completely lost their memories.
How did we get here?
"What kind of weather is this? The wind is so strong!"
The assassins were astonished by their injuries; some were already screaming in pain.
How did I hurt my arm?
"How did an arrow get into my leg?"
"Ouch! My foot! My foot hurts so much!"
The phoenix flew towards the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom again, its wings flashing, and specks of starlight sprinkled onto them.
The soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom also had their fleeting memories faded.
The phoenix transformed back into a pheasant and returned to the carriage.
The emperor was still haggling with Qiuqiu in the carriage.
The Emperor: "Chirp chirp, if you don't erase my memories, I'll buy you a whole cartload of delicious food when I come back!"
Chirp: "Okay, it's a deal then!"
The emperor turned around and saw the pheasant jump into the carriage.
The Emperor said to the pheasant, "Lord Phoenix, please sit down!"
Although the people outside the carriage had their memories erased, they remained tense.
The soldiers remained in the position of holding their swords in front of their chests in self-defense.
Xiao Dezi became alert.
Xiao Dezi: "Protect the king! Protect the king!"
The soldiers looked around curiously and said, "Where's the assassin?"
Xiao Dezi looked up at the sky and said, "I remember there were a lot of arrows just now, where did they go?"
Soldier: "That's really strange."
After escorting the people to safety, Xu Ziming quickly turned back.
On the way, he heard shouts.
Xu Ziming: "Oh no! We've probably fallen for their diversionary tactic! We must hurry back and protect His Majesty!"
Soldiers: "Yes, sir!"
Xu Ziming felt a thousand regrets as he rode his horse on the road. He was afraid that something would happen to the emperor, and he was also afraid that something would happen to Qiuqiu.
After galloping back, Xu Ziming found that everyone was alright.
Xu Ziming breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness! That scared me to death!"
Chiu Chiu poked her head out and saw Xu Ziming.
Does my silly uncle really think things will be safe here after he leaves?
Xu Ziming looked around, wondering: Who's talking about me? What does it mean?
The Emperor: "Xu Ziming—"
Xu Ziming immediately replied, "Your subject is here!"
Xu Ziming ran to the Emperor's carriage and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
The Emperor said, "Those people from the Great Silver Kingdom alone cannot accurately know my whereabouts. Investigate! Investigate thoroughly who leaked my location? Was it intentional or what?"
Xu Ziming: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chiu Chiu ate grapes with an air of nonchalance, but in her heart she was constantly complaining.
This is going to be interesting.
Chirp stroked the pheasant's head and fed it a grape.
There is a telepathic connection between the mythical beast and its master.
The beast can hear everything its owner says to it, and the two can communicate freely without making a sound.
[Xiao Feng, when did your spiritual power recover?]
Phoenix: Master, you've fed me so many delicious things along the way, and I feel full of energy.
You mean I was reluctant to feed you good food before?
Phoenix: That's not what I meant. It's just that you, my young master, are always so busy with your affairs. When you're busy, it's your third brother who feeds me, and he feeds me chicken feed, which is really hard to swallow!
Okay, okay, from now on I'll let you eat whatever I want. I'll never let you suffer again! My little Feng.
Phoenix: That's more like it.
Even the Flame God Sword, which had been lying quietly, couldn't stand the loneliness and began to communicate with them from the depths of their hearts.
Flame God Sword: Master, what should I eat? I want to eat delicious food too, just like Xiao Feng.
At least it looks like a chicken now. What about you? You're a sword, how am I supposed to feed you? Where's your beak?
Flame God Sword: Oh, right. So I guess I'll just have to lie here? It's so boring.
[Rest well. We might need your help a lot more in the future. I'll have Xiaofeng save some good food for you later.]
