The figure in front of her, still radiating anger, froze instantly. She seemed to hear a hissing sound as something went out. Feng Rong's still bloodshot eyes widened instantly, as if she hadn't realized what had happened and was completely petrified.
Even Youyou herself was startled by her subconscious action, her mind a complete mess. What was she just doing? Was she trying to take advantage?!
She was about to speak when she saw the petrified person in front of her suddenly turn bright red, like a tomato exploding, with an astonishingly bright light in their eyes.
"Feng Rong, I actually..."
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Rong seemed to suddenly wake up, and rushed over to hug her tightly, as if afraid that she would be taken away. He then turned around and plunged towards the direction of the tree trunk they had just met.
"Wait, Feng Rong, why did you pull me into the tree hole?"
"How can anyone else see something like this?!"
"No, this hole can't fit both of us."
"in spite of……"
"I'm not a bird... Oh dear!"
"..."
With a thud, two familiar sounds of footsteps echoed from beneath the sycamore trees on the second peak.
———————
"The Book of Heavenly Dao?" Feng Rong pinched You You's fingertips, shook her head, and said, "I've never heard of this thing."
"The Book of Heavenly Dao..." Yuan Qi thought for a while before speaking, "I have heard rumors about this book."
"You know, Dad Yuan?" You You asked, delighted.
“Yes, I’ve only seen it in some ancient books,” Father Yuan nodded. “Legend has it that the Book of Heavenly Dao was formed from the foundation stone of creation, and it records all the rules and laws of heaven in the world. In a sense, it is the heavenly Dao itself. If we can find the Book of Heavenly Dao, perhaps we can truly awaken the Phoenix Clan. But…”
Yuan Qi sighed, turned to look at You You, paused for a moment, and reached out to pluck a small leaf from behind her ear, saying, "Little You, where did you come from? Why are you so disheveled?"
Youyou's lips twitched, and she casually said, "I was just stuffed into a tree hole by a squirrel as food."
"……"What?
Feng Rong, standing to the side, felt a little guilty, but her expression became even more radiant. She stepped forward and squeezed between the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally pushing Yuan Qi aside. She said cheerfully, "I'll help you!" After saying that, she stretched out her paw and patted the top of her head, trying to knock some broken leaves off.
As a result... the photos turned out even more chaotic!
Youyou: "..." I suspect you're deliberately messing with me!
"Alright, alright, I'll do it myself!" Youyou pushed away the person who was making things worse, loosened her hair, and used a dust-removing spell to clean away the withered leaves and debris from her head. She then tied her hair into a ponytail and looked at Yuan Qi, continuing, "Father Yuan, what did you just say?"
Yuan Qi glanced at the two of them, sighed softly, and continued, "However, the existence of the Heavenly Dao Book has always been just a legend; even its actual existence is uncertain. Finding it will likely be difficult!"
You You nodded. Indeed, they had no clues at all. "Hong Fei said that Ming Ye was also looking for this thing. He deliberately disguised himself as a god. Could this Heavenly Dao Book be related to the God Realm? Why don't we go to the God Realm to inquire?"
Yuan Qi was taken aback, and even Feng Rong's expression darkened. She immediately said, "We can't go to the God Realm!"
"Huh?!" You You was stunned for a moment. "Didn't you say that the gods can travel through the Three Realms?" Why can't they go to the God Realm? Does the God Realm not include the Three Realms?
“That’s how it is…” Feng Rong frowned, “but I can’t sense the location of the God Realm, and there is no way to go to the God Realm in my Phoenix Clan’s heritage.”
"Perhaps... this is the content of the Heavenly Punishment?" Yuan Qi's expression darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Although we are the gods, we are no longer accepted by the God Realm. It is naturally impossible for us to go back."
"That's a bit tricky," You You sighed. "Besides the God Realm, who else knows anything about the Heavenly Dao Book?"
"I know!" Before she could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted.
The next moment, a face so pale it was devoid of any color appeared, forcibly squeezing into the three-person discussion.
Not only Youyou, but Yuanqi and Fengrong were also startled. Youyou even took two steps back before she could see the person in front of her clearly.
"Messenger of the Underworld!" She was speechless for a moment. "Brother... could you please use a more normal approach next time you appear? I know you're from the underworld, but could you at least make a more authentic entrance in the mortal realm?"
"Huh? Didn't you, Your Excellency, notify the soul beasts to summon me?" The Underworld Envoy blinked, his usually expressionless face revealing a hint of innocence. "I came here as soon as I received the message, didn't I?"
Youyou then remembered that the batch of remnant souls she brought back from the Seventh Heaven were immortal souls, and the soul beasts said they couldn't handle them. That's why she said she would notify the Underworld Envoy to come in person, but she didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.
She could only sigh and hand over the talisman that temporarily held the remnant soul, while casually explaining to him what had happened in the immortal realm.
"Oh? Demons?!" The Underworld Envoy's eyes darkened. He took the talisman but didn't rush to draw out the remnant soul inside. Instead, he gently squeezed it and said, "So that's why Your Excellency suddenly mentioned the Book of Heavenly Dao. It turns out that demons have entered the world!"
"Envoy of the Underworld, do you really know anything about the Book of Heavenly Dao?" Youyou couldn't help but ask.
"Of course!" The Underworld Envoy immediately put away the talisman and gave her a sinister smile that was hard to describe. "The Book of Heavenly Dao is divided into the Yin and Yang volumes. I wonder which one Your Excellency is looking for?"
"Two more?" You You was surprised; she hadn't expected that. "Is there any difference?"
"Of course!" The Underworld Envoy didn't hold back at all, and blurted out, "The Book of Yin governs life and death, the Book of Yang records the laws of the world. Which book does Your Excellency wish to find?"
"The Book of the Dead...right?" Their goal is to awaken the Phoenix Clan, which should fall within the scope of the Book of the Dead.
"That's wonderful!" The Underworld Messenger's voice rose even higher, becoming more cheerful. "I don't know much about the Book of Yang, but I know the Book of Yin very well!"
"Ah! Why?" she asked instinctively.
The Underworld Messenger blurted out, "Because the Book of the Underworld originally belongs to the Underworld!"
"What?!" Could it be such a coincidence? The three of them instantly became excited. "You mean you know where the Book of the Dead is?"
"I don't know!" The Underworld Messenger suddenly shook his head.
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
Then what the hell do you know about this?!
"The Book of the Underworld was originally in the Underworld, but since my lord Hades left, the Books of the Underworld have been throwing a tantrum and disappeared!" the Underworld Messenger explained solemnly.
What's with the tantrum? Does the Book of the Dead actually have sentience? And such a strong personality?!
etc!
"You just said...the Yin Book...they?" What does adding a quantifier mean?
