It took Yun Che a whole morning to burn away the blood curses of all the Phoenix descendants. Then he and Lan Xueruo said goodbye to everyone and flew away on the giant snow eagle. All the members of the Phoenix descendants came out to see them off. They looked up at the sky and did not leave until their figures completely disappeared from their sight.
“Father, was Brother Yun Che really sent by the Phoenix God to save us?” Feng Zuer looked at the sky reluctantly and asked naively.
Feng Baichuan touched his son's head and nodded slowly: "Yes. Our ancestors made a big mistake back then. After so many years of atonement and repentance, the Phoenix God finally forgave us. However, I have a strange feeling that maybe one day, we will see him again."
"Really?" Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er's eyes lit up, their faces filled with anticipation.
“I will definitely do that.” Feng Baichuan smiled. Without the blood curse, their profound strength was no longer restricted, and the Phoenix mark on their foreheads could be hidden at any time. Therefore, their next generation no longer needed to hide in this deep mountain and dangerous place. “However, when we see him again, perhaps the level he is standing on will be high enough for everyone to look up to. So, Zu’er, Xian’er, if you really want to see him again, you must start to practice hard. Now we are not qualified to repay his kindness, but when you grow up and have enough ability, you can walk out of here and become his helper… Even if it is only a small help, it can also express the gratitude of our clan.”
"Yes!" Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er both nodded vigorously, with determination written all over their young faces.

"How long does it take to get from here to Blue Wind Imperial City?"
"At Xiaoxue's speed, if we fly for seven hours every day, we will arrive in about ten days."
Cangfeng Imperial City, the country of Cangfeng Empire. When Yun Che lived in Liuyun City in the past, he never thought that one day he would step into Cangfeng Imperial City. As the country of Cangfeng Empire, Cangfeng Empire is undoubtedly at the top of the empire in terms of wealth, power, and profound strength. The extremely wealthy, powerful, and powerful people who can look down on others in ordinary cities can only be relegated to the upper middle level at most when they come to the capital.
The sky gradually darkened. After the giant snow sculpture continued flying for a long time, it finally found a not-so-big town and landed.
"Hello, shopkeeper. Do you have any Wanli Sound Transmission Notes for sale?" Lan Xueruo asked politely as they walked into the town's largest business.
"Ten thousand... Ten thousand Miles Transmission Note?" The shopkeeper was shocked by Lan Xueruo's words. Although Lan Xueruo was dressed in ordinary clothes, she could not hide her nobleness. In addition, she was extremely beautiful, and she opened her mouth and said "Ten thousand Miles Transmission Note". The shopkeeper did not dare to neglect her and said carefully: "Miss, in our small shop, let alone Ten thousand Miles Transmission Note, we don't even have a thousand Miles Transmission Note. I have never seen a Ten thousand Miles Transmission Note in my life... However, we do have a few hundred Miles Transmission Notes. Do you think you can make do with them?"
"...No need for that. Sorry for bothering you." Lan Xueruo shook her head in disappointment. She wanted to send a message to the Imperial City, but the Hundred Mile Sound Transmission Note was simply out of reach.
“Shopkeeper, is there an inn nearby?” Yun Che asked.
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper nodded and pointed to the right: "Go one street north and there is an inn. It is also the only one in this town."
Yun Che nodded and said to Lan Xueruo: “Senior Sister, let’s stay at the inn here for a while. Xiaoxue also needs to rest.”
After walking for a while, Yun Che and Lan Xueruo found the only inn in the town. It was already late, and the inn was quiet. When they walked in, under the dim light, they saw only the innkeeper sitting at the front desk, dozing off. He opened his eyes quickly when he heard the footsteps of someone coming in.
Yun Che walked to the counter one step ahead of Lan Xueruo, crossed his arms over his chest, and said seriously, “Shopkeeper, please prepare two guest rooms for us.”
The innkeeper yawned and was about to speak when suddenly, a purple light flashed in the corner of his eyes and his eyes suddenly widened larger than a cow's eyes.
Because Yun Che’s right hand, which was held in front of his chest, had its index finger standing upright, and between the middle and ring fingers, there was clearly a purple-glowing… Purple Mysterious Coin!!
The shopkeeper's sleepiness disappeared without a trace, and he almost drooled. Having run this inn for half his life, he knew everything. He quickly put on an embarrassed face and said, "My dear guests, I'm sorry, there is only one room left in our inn."
“Only one room left?” Yun Che turned around and said to Lan Xueruo, “Senior Sister, how about we look for another inn?”
The shopkeeper immediately said with a serious face, "My dear guests, I'm not trying to scare you. In this town, there is only one inn. Besides, you can't find a place to stay within a radius of 200 miles. My inn is usually full at this time. You are lucky to have a room today. Besides, you two are a perfect match made in heaven. You are traveling together in the middle of the night. You look like a sweet couple. One room is just right. Why do you have to have two rooms?"
Yun Che looked embarrassed and said to Lan Xueruo, “Senior Sister, how about we just share a room? Apart from this, there doesn’t seem to be any other solution.”
A single man and a single woman... in one room? The image that suddenly flashed through her mind made Lan Xueruo's heart beat faster for no reason. She said in a panic, "But...but..."
Before she could finish, the shopkeeper shouted at the top of his voice: "Okay! I'll take you to the guest room. Although our hotel is small, we guarantee that it will be clean and comfortable and you will be satisfied... This way, please."
Lan Xueruo's words were directly blocked. She bit her lip, and thinking about what the shopkeeper had just said, she had no choice but to obey.
A hint of smile flashed across the depths of Yun Che’s eyes. With a flick of his little finger, the purple profound coin silently bounced into the shopkeeper’s hand. The shopkeeper immediately smiled and walked happily in front… He had a good business in this inn and could earn more than ten purple profound coins a year. Yun Che’s contribution was directly his net income for an entire month. He had seen generous people before, but this was the first time in his life that he had seen someone so generous.
He respectfully led them to the room and helped them close the room when they left. Then he sighed in his heart: This girl is so beautiful, and this young man is so rich. I wonder which big family this man and woman from is out to travel.
The room was not big, but it was clean and elegant. The furnishings were simple, but the bed was big enough for two people to sleep in.
After a whole day of blowing in the wind on the back of the giant snow sculpture, both of them were already sleepy. After Lan Xueruo walked into the room, her heart was pounding, and her expression was reserved and slightly flustered. She had lost her usual generous and peaceful demeanor. Her beautiful cheeks were slightly flushed like the morning glow, which made her less noble and elegant than usual, and more like a girl who made men intoxicated. Yun Che smiled and said, "Senior Sister, you must be very tired, go to bed and rest first."
“Then…then you…” Lan Xueruo pretended to be calm, but her heart couldn’t stop beating wildly… Could it be that he was thinking… thinking…
“Of course I’ll sleep on the floor. I’m a man, how can I let Senior Sister sleep on the floor?” Yun Che had a harmless, gentle and amiable smile on his face. After he finished speaking, he walked to the corner opposite the bed and sat down on the cold floor with his back against the wall. He said, “Senior Sister, just go to sleep peacefully. I’ll be here to protect you.”
Lan Xueruo's inner panic disappeared, replaced by a warm current flowing in her heart. The smile on his face was exactly the same as when he fell from a height, lay seriously injured on the ground, and looked at her with gentle eyes. It was the first time when she faced him, and also the first time in her life, that she felt an indescribable throbbing in her heart.
The floor here is not made of wood, but cold stone. Even if you put a quilt on the floor for a while, you will feel the chill penetrate your bones. Lan Xueruo shook her head and said, "No, the floor is so cold, how can I sleep? Your injury has only just healed... You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."
Yun Che was stunned by Lan Xueruo’s words, and then he shook his head with great determination: “No, no! Absolutely not! How can I, a grown man, let Senior Sister sleep on the floor!”
"It's okay. I've slept on the floor before, so..."
“That’s different!” Yun Che still had a determined look on his face: “This has nothing to do with where Senior Sister likes to sleep. This is about the dignity of us men! I would rather choose Senior Sister to stab me to death with a sword than to let myself sleep on the bed and a woman sleep on the floor.”
When he said these words, Yun Che muttered in his heart: Hmm? Why do these words sound so familiar? I always feel like I have said them to another woman before...
“Puff…” Yun Che’s stubborn expression as he shouted “man’s dignity” quietly touched a soft spot in Lan Xueruo’s heart, causing her to burst out laughing.
