Chapter 121: Kidnapped His Own Cub
Shang Youqing didn't know how Ying Shixue, who was far away in the fairy pool of Kunlun Snow Mountain, managed to send a message to the old man Changyi. In short, when she and Cheng Huang arrived at that underwater divine realm, the old man Changyi had been waiting on the sea for a long time.
The old man Changyi came forward eagerly, and as he led them down from the entrance of the divine realm, he seemed unable to hold back and asked Shang Youqing indirectly about the whereabouts of their king.
Shang Youqing blurted out without thinking.
"He's as good as dead."
The old man Changyi stumbled, his expression dazed, and he trembled as he finally managed to steady the long staff in his hand.
The next second, Shang Youqing added coolly, "I pulled out his dragon tendons and stripped off his dragon scales. Right now, his body is hanging on the peak of Kunlun Snow Mountain."
With a loud bang, the long staff in the old man Changyi's hand fell to the ground, and he almost fell down.
Cheng Huang hurried forward to take the staff and helped the old man Changyi to his feet, comforting him, "The Phoenix deceived you. Your king is fine and is recuperating in the Kunlun Mountain Immortal Pond."
Then he turned his head and glared at Shang Youqing, "Look how scared you are of that old man!"
Shang Youqing folded his arms, unrepentant, "Who told him to stop me from seeing the child before?"
The old man Changyi's deathly pale face finally softened a bit. He was not annoyed by Little Phoenix's threats. Instead, he looked at her gratefully, his eyes red. "I know Little Phoenix must have put in a lot of effort to get Shang Que to agree."
“…I didn’t try very hard.”
Cheng Huang replied, "Indeed, indeed. There's no need to be too moved, old man. Just look at the look on my little phoenix's face, she's so proud that she wants to lift her feathers to the sky. You'll know that our priest really spoils her. This time when she returned, he really didn't let her suffer any injustice. Don't worry."
Only then did the old man Changyi nodded in a daze.
The water curtain of the underwater divine realm's barrier changes with the cutting of the halo shape, and the surging ocean currents seem to form a flowing gilded color, creating an aquatic world that is too dreamy.
Passing through layers of water curtains, we arrived above the deepest ice abyss.
The surging water layer covered the ice abyss, and a huge dragon scale was floating on it.
Cheng Huang guessed that the dragon scale floating above should be the one that could capture the image and connect to the dragon scale that Ying Wixue had left for his phoenix.
However, before he could ask the Changyi elder for confirmation, he caught a glimpse of Shang Youqing passing by. Cheng Huang rushed over quickly and grabbed Fenghuang by the collar, "Fenghuang, what are you doing! Can't you see there's a barrier on top?"
Shang Youqing lay outside the water curtain with scale-patterned mimicry, silently looking at the two cubs that had completely transformed into young dragons under the ice abyss.
She didn't turn around, but just asked, "How do I open the barrier?"
The old man Changyi, who was standing at the back, hesitated for a moment and said, "Little Phoenix, the king's will is for you to take a look at the child outside the barrier."
Cheng Huang also came over and whispered, "Fenghuang, actually, I thought about it carefully later. The reason why Ying Shixue left the two children here was probably because she wanted them to cultivate and grow up quickly. You also know... you and Ying Shixue's dragon and phoenix bloodlines are different from ordinary people. It's better for the children to learn self-preservation skills early than to have something like last time happen again..."
Shang Youqing remained motionless: "I know."
"You know..." Cheng Huang was stunned, "Then why are you still..."
Shang Youqing took out the dragon scale, and as spiritual energy flowed through his fingertips, he raised his lips slightly and said, "Why do you think that sanctimonious dragon Ying Shixue allowed me to see the child?"
Cheng Huang looked at her, then peered down at the two young dragons below the icy abyss. "Could it be that... the children have completed their training mission faster than expected?"
As he spoke, the dragon scales and the thick water wave barrier wrapped in spiritual power opened at the touch of a button.
Shang Youqing's speed was too fast, and Huang Lian couldn't stop him. He saw Shang Youqing transform back into a phoenix and jump down from the ice abyss.
The phoenix feathers were so dazzling that they were like a pillar of light from heaven piercing through the cold abyss of the sea.
Cheng Huang supported the old man Changyi, who was about to collapse, and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, don't worry, my Fenghuang has always been steady and sensible. He will definitely not do anything rash. Just let—"
Before Cheng Huang finished speaking, his phoenix picked up a blue dragon in its left claw, and picked up another blue-gold dragon in its right claw, and stuffed them all under the down feathers on its belly.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a phoenix cry, it spread its wings and soared into the sky, abducting its own cub with great momentum.
The old man Changyi knocked his long staff, his voice trembling, "Phoenix...Phoenix, where are you going to take the little princess and the little prince..."
"Uh..." Cheng Huang couldn't comfort her any more, so he simply withdrew his hand and pretended to be serious: "This little phoenix is really outrageous. How about this, Elder Changyi, I will go up and talk to her now!"
After saying this, he leaped up quickly, riding on the ripples left by the phoenix in the water.
Cheng Huang chased the phoenix for a long time, but he only managed to catch the phoenix's tail, which made the clouds in the sky shine with golden light. Those who didn't know would think that the phoenix was running for its life.
When they were almost at the Kunlun Mountains, Shang Youqing's speed finally slowed down a little, and Cheng Huang finally caught up with him.
"Phoenix, why are you running so fast? Can Cheng Huang snatch your cub away?"
But before he could finish his scolding, Shang Youqing cautiously tucked his tail feathers, circled back to his side, and asked hesitantly, "Cheng Huang, can I really bring the child back to Kunlun Mountain?"
Cheng Huang looked at the uneasiness in Fenghuang's eyes and the way she slowly tucked her belly feathers in. He was stunned for several seconds before answering, "Are you afraid the priest won't accept it?"
Shang Youqing nodded nervously.
Cheng Huang tutted, "How is that possible? The priest even accepted your affair with Ying Shixue's dragon, let alone your cub."
"Really..."
Shang Youqing is not very confident.
She looked down at her bulging belly feathers.
Perhaps they smelled her spiritual breath, the two cubs were very well behaved the whole way, nestling under her belly feathers, neither making any noise nor making any noise.
never mind.
Do it first and ask for permission later. Take the child back first.
Returning to the temple courtyard, Shang Youqing saw the priest sitting in the courtyard writing something, hiding the two little dragons behind his back in an extremely unnatural manner. He coughed and moved over, "Father..."
The priest didn't look at her and walked straight to the house on the right side of the eaves.
Shang Youqing felt that the priest must be angry, and followed him anxiously, "Father..."
With a creak, the priest opened the door.
What comes into view is a carefully decorated and fully prepared children's room.
Shang Youqing stood at the door in a daze and heard the priest say.
"The child will live here from now on."
