Feng Xian'er brought Yun Che back to the center of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. She did not retract the flames covering Yun Che until Ling Jie's aura completely disappeared from her spiritual awareness.
Yun Che looked indifferent.
"It's okay," Feng Xian'er consoled him with a smile, "Dad once secretly said that it might take many years for our benefactor brother to be willing to leave here, but it's only been over a month. He is indeed our benefactor brother, and he is truly amazing."
Yun Che raised his head slightly and exhaled a long breath from his chest: “Just now, was that what you called the ‘Mysterious Beast Turmoil’?”
"Yes." Feng Xian'er nodded: "The Mysterious Beast Turmoil did not last long, only less than a year. It first occurred in the east, and then gradually spread to the west, and it spread faster and faster."
“It is said that similar situations have occurred not only in Blue Wind Country, but also in the east of Illusory Demon Realm.”
Yun Che: “…”
“But don’t worry,” Feng Xian’er said, “The Blue Wind Nation has the protection of the Phoenix Divine Sect, and every time there is a riot by a mysterious beast, it is quickly suppressed, and it is not considered a disaster or anything like that.”
The Mysterious Beast Rebellion... Started in the East... Spreading to the West...
Feng Xian'er's words echoed in his mind, but he couldn't focus on them and soon put them out of his mind.
Otherwise, he would definitely be able to think of something.
“The ‘Phoenix Goddess’ you mentioned earlier is Xue’er… right?” Yun Che asked. The image of the woman with a stunning appearance, background, and talent, whose attachment to him surpassed everything, appeared before his eyes… The glimpse of her before she passed out at the bottom of the Phoenix Cliff, left a mark deep in his heart and soul that he would never forget.
“Yes.” Feng Xian’er nodded, her phoenix eyes revealing deep admiration and yearning: “Sister Goddess achieved the legendary Divine Profound Realm three years ago. In the Profound Sky Continent, she is another legend besides my benefactor brother.”
"That day, my brother and I met the goddess sister. She was so beautiful, more beautiful than all the stars in the sky. Moreover, my brother and I also knew that she was the fiancée of our benefactor brother... right?"
“…” Yun Che’s eyes were dim and lost. Xue’er had already successfully entered the divine way, and she had done it three years ago… Xuanyuan Wentian’s original strength was indeed divine, but it was a twisted divine way that relied on the evil way. It was impossible for him to make any further progress, and it would continue to devour his lifespan. His own divine way was achieved in the Snow Song Realm.
And in the Profound Sky Continent, on the Blue Pole Star, Feng Xue'er was undoubtedly the first person to truly enter the realm of the Divine Way.
With her around, she could easily destroy any mysterious beast riot or even more serious disaster.
In the Illusory Demon Realm, there are Caiyi and her parents protecting her...
And I...
Without receiving Yun Che’s answer, Feng Xian’er looked ahead, a layer of haziness covering her beautiful eyes, and a whisper like a soliloquy or a confession uttered from her lips: “Only a fairy like Sister Goddess can be worthy of my benefactor Brother…”
Yun Che's heart seemed to be stabbed fiercely by something.
She was the eternal myth of the Profound Sky Continent, the Phoenix Goddess, and her beauty was the undisputed number one in the Profound Sky Continent… But now, I was just a useless person, not qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, let alone protect her and make her attached to me.
With the mortal body of today, and unable to cultivate profound strength, even if spiritual medicines are piled up, the life span is only a hundred years or so...
Let the most important goddess of this continent marry a useless person...
The cold wind filled his body, and Yun Che coughed painfully.
"Ah?" Feng Xian'er turned around in a hurry and slowed down: "Am I flying too fast... I'll go slower."
Yun Che shook his head.
Throughout my life, I have comforted and ridiculed many people from a high position, and I have watched and ignored countless darkness and despair. At that time, I firmly believed that there would never be such a day for me who was not afraid of death... I didn't expect that when it happened to me, I realized that living is sometimes heavier than death.
If you live an ordinary life, you will get used to it and even enjoy it.
But after a thirteen-year dream, returning to ordinary life is so cruel.
"Oh, right," Feng Xian'er's voice came to my ears again: "Sister Goddess is now the leader of the Phoenix Divine Sect. After the previous leader Feng Hengkong passed on the throne, he focused on the government of the Divine Phoenix Empire. As a result, the Phoenix Divine Sect is ranked as one of the four holy places in the Profound Sky Continent, but it is not ranked first. Can my benefactor brother guess which holy place is ranked first?"
Yun Che: “…”
"It's Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace." Feng Xian'er smiled and said, "Although the overall strength of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is not as good as the other three holy places, but my benefactor brother was once the palace master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. It is for this reason that no one will question its top position. This is the influence of my benefactor brother."
"..." Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace actually became one of the four new sacred places of Profound Sky Continent, and ranked first.
However, if everyone in the world knew that I had become a useless person, this honor... would surely disappear into thin air.
At this moment, Yun Che's thoughts were all negative.
He was very aware of his current gloomy state of mind. He wanted to get rid of it... but he was powerless to do so.
In just thirteen years, he reached a height that others would never dare to dream of in a hundred lifetimes...but he fell to the bottom in one day.
No one can imagine or understand what a blow this is.
The Phoenix barrier appeared in sight, and as Feng Xian'er approached, the barrier opened a gap again.
Passing through the gap, the two returned to where the Phoenix descendants were.
As soon as he entered the barrier, it was as if he was isolated from the panic brought by the outside world. Yun Che's chaotic mood calmed down a lot, and then, a trace of self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Feng Xian'er had been secretly looking at him. Seeing his expression, her heart ached and she whispered, "Brother Benefactor, I don't know how I can help you. But...but no matter what happens in the future, I will...always be by your side...until you don't want to see me anymore..."
"..." These days, the warmth that occasionally rose in his soul mostly came from Feng Xian'er.
Throughout his life, he had endured countless gazes of admiration, worship, adoration, and flattery, so many that he had become numb and his heart was no longer able to stir the slightest ripple.
But now he has become destitute, and will be destitute forever. This girl who is just one of the countless passers-by in his life, still puts all her eyes and heart on him without reservation...
During this period of time, her presence and companionship had wiped away so much of the haze in Yun Che's heart. Otherwise, Yun Che might have sunk into despair for a longer time and more thoroughly...
However, he now doesn't know how to respond and repay this too precious feeling...
Feng Xian'er flew very slowly, fearing that the cool wind would hurt Yun Che, or perhaps she liked the feeling of being able to protect and be close to him.
The scene below passed by slowly. Because of the encounter with the Green Scale Beast, the direction they returned to was different from when they left. Below was an area that Yun Che had never set foot on. Passing a small forest with dead leaves flying everywhere, he saw a bamboo forest that was still green.
In the center of the bamboo forest, he vaguely saw a small bamboo house.
Bamboo house...
Yun Che cast his gaze there, and was unable to look away for a long time.
In that life on Cangyun Continent, after Su Ling'er passed away in his arms, every time he saw the bamboo house, he would feel as if his heart was pierced by thousands of arrows.
Even though he found Su Ling'er again, the bamboo house was still a very special place in his heart. Every time he saw it, his heart and soul would be deeply touched.
Ling'er, are you doing well in the Illusory Demon Realm? You are so smart, you must have become a great doctor by now.
After all, this was your dream back then.
“I want to see that bamboo house.” With thoughts of Su Ling’er surging in his heart, he couldn’t help but speak.
“Bamboo…house?” Feng Xian’er was slightly stunned. When she understood what Yun Che was referring to, she immediately opened her mouth to say something. However, when her eyes met Yun Che’s obviously stunned gaze, she took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth and nodded slightly instead: “Okay.”
She brought Yun Che down lightly, but she did not fall in the direction of the bamboo house, but in front of the bamboo forest where the bamboo house was located.
Feng Xian'er's actions made Yun Che frown slightly, revealing confusion.
The bamboo forest was green and swaying, bringing with it bursts of fresh breeze. Standing in front of the bamboo forest, Feng Xian'er did not take Yun Che into the forest, but supported Yun Che, and the support seemed a little tight.
“What’s wrong?” Yun Che asked. He could sense that Feng Xian’er was obviously a little nervous.
Feng Xian'er said, "There are people living in that bamboo house, but they are not from our tribe."
“Oh?” Yun Che said thoughtfully, “Were they also here a long time ago? But I don’t think I’ve heard you mention them before.”
"No," Feng Xian'er shook her head: "Did they come here after our benefactor brother left that year?"
“Afterwards?” Yun Che was stunned. “You said before that the Phoenix barrier was set up after I left that year, and only those with Phoenix blood can pass through it. Why would they… could they be from the Phoenix Sect of the Divine Phoenix Nation?”
"I don't know." Feng Xian'er still shook her head: "Because they never communicate with us. Back then, we tried to approach and help them, but they rejected us all. Dad and Mom said that they must have been hurt a lot, so they are afraid of contact with people, so we never bothered them again. And after so many years, not only have they never left here, they rarely even leave this bamboo forest."
“However, since they can come here, they should have the blood of the Phoenix.” Feng Xian’er said uncertainly.
Yun Che frowned: In this continent, the only people with phoenix bloodline, besides the Phoenix descendants here, are the Phoenix Divine Sect. But why would the people of the Phoenix Divine Sect come here? And from what Feng Xian'er described, it seems that they are in an extreme state of retreat from the world?
Yun Che seemed to be thinking deeply, and said: "If that's the case, then don't bother them, let's go."
After saying that, he glanced at Feng Xian'er's hand on his arm, which was obviously too tight, and said half-jokingly: "Could it be that the people living in seclusion here look scary? You seem very nervous."
Feng Xian'er realized something at this moment, and quickly loosened her grip on Yun Che's arm. She said, "No, it's just... there's a very scary 'little monster' in here, and I'm afraid she might hurt you by accident."
"Little monster?"
Just as Yun Che raised his question, an extremely childish, yet extremely sharp voice suddenly rang out from within the bamboo forest: “Leave immediately! Don’t come near here!”
As the voice rang out, a little girl walked out from the swaying bamboo forest.
The little girl looked only about ten years old, wearing a simple and neat little cloth skirt. Although she was young, her hair was as long as her waist and fluttered in the wind. Her face was delicate and lovely, but her bright eyes were flashing fierce light... a warning and vigilance.
However, she was just too cute. Standing there, she looked like a finely carved jade doll. The fierce light in her eyes and the domineering aura on her body had basically no deterrent effect even on Yun Che, who had already lost his cultivation.
However, the appearance of this little girl caused Feng Xian'er's hands, which had just relaxed a little, to tighten again. Even her body visibly stiffened for a moment, and she kept grasping Yun Che until he felt deep pain.
Yun Che glanced sideways and said in surprise: “Could this be the…little monster you mentioned?”
