The little phoenix looked up at the end of the cloud ladder and slowly smiled: "Whether he is the Emperor or the Demon Lord, he is my husband."
Upon hearing this, the Old Man of the Moon paused, suddenly unsure of what to say.
The little phoenix took two more steps forward and shouted loudly into the dark gnomon cave, "Qi Zhi, can you hear me?"
"..."
She was met with silence.
"Little Yuanyuan, let's go back first." The Old Man of the Moon walked over and whispered, "The Emperor has something for you."
The little phoenix stared at the cave entrance for a long time, nodded slightly, and followed the Old Man of the Moon and Jin Jin back home, turning back every few steps.
The bamboo on Fusheng Mountain had all withered and died, and there was no way to find any almonds for the little phoenix to eat, so the Old Man of the Moon could only take the two little birds back to Danqi Mountain.
"Master, you're back! The Emperor..." The sparrow rushed over as soon as it saw the little phoenix.
Jin Jin shook her head at it, signaling it not to say anything, so the sparrow had no choice but to swallow back what it was going to say.
The Old Man of the Moon patted the loyal sparrow: "Little sparrow, go and pick some lotus seeds."
"Oh." The sparrow glanced at the little phoenix with concern before flying to the bamboo grove to pick some lotus seeds.
As soon as the sparrow left, the little phoenix asked impatiently, "Brother Matchmaker, what did Qi Zhi leave for me?"
The Old Man of the Moon looked at the sword she was holding in her arms: "The Crimson Moon Sword is what the Emperor left for you."
"The Crimson Moon Sword?" The little phoenix stroked the cold blade. "I know it."
The Old Man of the Moon raised an eyebrow, waiting for the little phoenix to continue.
"Qi Zhi said that when I can maintain my human form, he will forge an ancient divine weapon for me." The little phoenix raised its head and said seriously, "This sword is not called Crimson Moon, but Yuanhuang."
The Matchmaker: "Why is she called Yuanhuang?"
Little Phoenix: "Because my surname is Yuan, and I am a little phoenix."
Matchmaker: "..."
He couldn't refute this reason.
Little Phoenix: "Brother Yue Lao, do you have any other way to save Qi Zhi?"
"Yes, there is, but..." the Old Man of the Moon hesitated.
The little phoenix asked urgently, "But what?"
"Saving the Emperor means making an enemy of the entire Heavenly Realm, Little Yuanyuan, have you thought this through?"
Little Phoenix pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Qi Zhi must have a way to suppress the sundial."
On the day she and Mo Qi consummated their marriage, Mo Qi told her that only a god possessed by demonic possession could suppress the celestial sundial.
This is probably why the emperor's son thought of using the inkstone to suppress the sundial.
"Master, the lotus seeds have been picked." The sparrow put down the plate containing the lotus seeds.
"Little Yuanyuan, eat something first. Tomorrow we'll go rescue the Emperor together."
The little phoenix nodded obediently, picked up a lotus seed and slowly peeled it, but when it put it in its mouth, it couldn't swallow it.
The Old Man of the Moon noticed her expression was off and asked, "What's wrong, Little Yuanyuan?"
"I don't want to eat." The little phoenix put down the almond she had just taken a bite of and shook her head.
How can I not eat?
The Old Man of the Moon coaxed, "Little Yuanyuan, how about just one?"
"Brother Yue Lao, I don't want to eat."
"What would you like to eat? Brother Yue Lao will make it for you."
"I want to eat sour fruit."
Sour fruit?
Upon hearing Little Phoenix's words, Jin Jin and Sparrow exchanged a glance.
Sparrow: "Master, we little birds don't eat sour fruits."
Jin Jin nodded in agreement: "Only pregnant birds eat sour fruits."
A pregnant bird?
The Old Man of the Moon was taken aback, and subconsciously grabbed the little phoenix's hand to quietly take her pulse.
The next second, the Old Man of the Moon suddenly smiled: "Little Yuanyuan, you really have a little bird now."
The little phoenix was stunned for a moment, and then, overjoyed, transformed back into a bird.
