"That's true. How could you possibly take down an opponent that even I dare not underestimate?" Wen Long was quite pleased with these words, after all, both humans and demons care about their pride.
At this moment, he nodded, put his hands behind his back, and said in a slightly more arrogant tone, "However, don't blame me for getting burned this time. How many times have I told you, you can't barge in recklessly when I'm practicing martial arts."
"Yes, it's all my fault, I acted rashly." Despite still trembling its wings and emitting wisps of smoke, the Firebird could only bow deeply in apology. It even knelt on the ground, its knees buckling. "Thank you for sparing my life, Your Majesty. You have shown me extraordinary favor; otherwise, this poisonous pool would have been my burial ground..."
The smoke gradually dissipated, the firebird flapped its wings, and the ash on its body fell off.
"Hmph! At least you know what's good for you," Wen Long, dressed in black robes, said with his usual gloomy gaze. He raised his hands, shook the wide black robes, and put them behind his back. "However, I hate noisy nonsense the most. Tell me what important information you have. If it's not valuable, I will punish you severely today to teach you a lesson."
"Yes, yes," Firebird, who was about to get up, knelt down again upon hearing this, firmly placing her slender legs on the window frame without moving. "This time, it might be related to the Illusion Pill. With the Illusion Pill, we no longer need to worry about the throne. That's much more important than that..."
"Illusion, Illusion Spirit Pill?" Upon hearing these three words, Wen Long's heart fluttered. His expression changed, and he turned around, quickly changing his appearance to resemble Mo Tian. "Quick! Take me to see that Zhuo Yue..."
"Alright!" Seeing Wen Long like this, Firebird was also very pleased. He stood up, but his legs were trembling slightly. "Your Majesty, I..."
“Eat it,” he said, raising his arm and tossing out a pill that shimmered with an unusual light from his sleeve. “Whoosh!” it went into the firebird’s mouth.
A faint demonic light appeared, the scorched dust on the firebird disappeared, and its red feathers quickly grew back, regaining their original luster.
"Thank you, my king!" The firebird exclaimed excitedly, flapping its wings and bowing its head in reverence...
"Hurry up!" Wen Long said impatiently, frowning and pressing the tip of his nose. He saw the dark clouds parting by the window and stepped outside...
Rushing to the scene, Wen Long stood inside the stone cave, looking up at the oval sphere where red blood vessels flowed like tangled yarn. His eyes were gloomy, and a smile appeared on his face. "Only the Illusionary Spirit Pill can make you sense the presence of your family. Hmph! You wretched fellow, don't think that just because you won't speak, I can't do anything to you."
"You can't defeat me, Zhuoyue. I knew this Demon Heart Orb would be useful to you..."
"Your Majesty, this old man will go and find his daughter for you, and force him to hand over the Illusionary Spirit Pill. What do you think?" The firebird looked up at Zhuoyue, a hint of ruthlessness in its eyes.
"Hmph! You think you can take me on?" Wen Long sneered, glancing disdainfully at the firebird. "Didn't you say you had killed her? Yet you still let her escape death. How could I possibly entrust such an important matter to you now?"
"Your Majesty," Firebird recoiled, taking a step back as it saw the murderous intent in Wenlong's eyes, "this old man is willing to atone for his sins with good deeds."
"This matter requires my personal attention." Wen Long turned and walked out of the stone cave, hurrying along. "For the next few days, you will guard everything in Tongling City for me..."
