Chapter 122: It will belong to the little phoenix forever.
Shang Youqing looked at the priest, his eyes sparkling. He pursed his lips and suddenly could not hold back his emotions anymore. He was like a little phoenix who always asked the priest to hold him and comfort him every time he fell and got hurt. He hugged the priest's neck with both hands, buried his head in his hands and started to sob.
Cheng Huang terrifiedly rushed over from behind and caught the two cubs that were about to fall to the ground, "Oh my God! Fenghuang, you don't want your cubs anymore?!"
Shang Youqing belatedly remembered the child she had just let go of, and looked back over the priest's shoulder in confusion.
Cheng Huang was seen frantically carrying the two cubs. Shang Youqing felt no guilt at all and, relying on the priest's support, he bossed Cheng Huang around. "Cheng Huang, I finally managed to get these cubs back from Ying Shixue. You have to take good care of them!"
Cheng Huang: "...Don't give me that. Haven't you and Ying Shixue had enough of this drama of love and hate?"
Shang Youqing was very satisfied. Without saying a word, he let go of the priest, took the two cubs from Cheng Huang's arms, hugged them tightly, and put his face to the left to suck the cub, then put his face to the right to suck the cub.
When she looked up again, her eyes were red as she looked at the two completely stupid cubs in her arms. She couldn't help but look up and complain to Cheng Huang, "Look at Cheng Huang, he has made my two babies stupid! I wish I could tear his tendons and skin him alive right now!"
Cheng Huang: "Okay, let's go or not. I'll go with you now. I'll watch you tear out Ying Shixue's tendons and skin her alive!"
At this time, Shang You struggled to emerge from Shang Youqing's arms and whispered, "Mom, I'm not stupid..."
He Zhimo couldn't help but stick his head out, "Mom, I don't either..."
Before she could finish her words, Shang Youqing calmly pressed the two little heads back and said, "Be good, babies. Stay home. Mommy will be back soon."
After saying that, Shang Youqing stuffed the two cubs he had just held in his arms a few seconds ago directly into the arms of the Qingfeng Jiuyue priest. He proudly pulled Cheng Huang's arm and said, "Let's go and settle the score with Ying Shixue now!"
Two minutes later.
The snow-capped peaks are shrouded in mist, above the clouds in the temple courtyard.
Shang Youqing lay on a soft, fluffy cloud, holding her breath and gazing at the courtyard below for a long moment. Suddenly, she couldn't help but nudge Cheng Huang, who was lying next to her, with her heel and whispered, "Cheng Huang, do you think the priest understands how to hold me?"
Cheng Huang couldn't help but kick back, "What are you saying? Your father has much more experience in raising puppies than you do. Have you forgotten who hatched and raised you, this little phoenix?"
"Then why is the priest still standing there motionless, just as I put the cub in his arms?" The little phoenix sensitively tugged at its feathers. "Could it be that the priest doesn't like my cub?"
"...Oh no? The priest is making some movement! Phoenix, look!"
Shang Youqing immediately followed Cheng Huang's gaze and looked down again.
In front of the door of the temple courtyard.
Shang Que lowered his head and looked at the two cubs in his arms in silence for a long time. He seemed to sigh softly and carried the cubs into the house.
A moment later, a priest in a satin robe came out, holding a cub in each hand, and walked towards the temple hall.
Both cubs were enlightened and transformed back into human form, and they were dressed neatly and cutely. Even their hoods were sewn with little phoenix patterns of different colors, which showed that the priest had made careful preparations for a long time.
Prayer flags fluttered gently among the mountains. All the way from the courtyard corridor to the temple, the priest always maintained a gentle expression.
The two cubs looked up at him, one on each side.
He Zhimo rolled his eyes and said, "You are my mother's priest. That means you are also my and Youyou's grandfather, right?"
The priest followed the child’s habit and said, “You can call me that.”
Shang You, who was holding the priest's hand with the other hand, shook the priest's gentle hand, still very worried: "Priest Grandpa, is Mom in danger?"
The priest smiled faintly, "No, Xiaoqing was just joking."
After sweeping away the snow on the long steps, the priest still carried the cubs up the stairs, then reached out and gently brushed away the frost and snow on the cubs' heads, and then led them into the hall.
Above the clouds.
Shang Youqing and Cheng Huang looked at each other.
No hesitation in pushing each other away.
"It must be Cheng Huang, your acting is too bad!"
"It's obviously Phoenix, but you made it too obvious, so the priest saw through it!"
In order to avoid returning empty-handed, Shang Youqing decided to go to Kunlun Fairy Pool first to find Ying Shixue and pluck two more dragon scales.
Cheng Huang was worried that she would come out of the fairy pond in disarray again, so he would follow her and keep an eye on her no matter what.
After arriving at the fairy pond, Cheng Huang found a rock outside to sit down on, just like last time.
He had thought that the little phoenix would not come out so soon, so he could take a nap while waiting for it.
As a result, not long after he closed his eyes, he heard the slight sound of the fairy pool barrier shaking and opening. Cheng Huang opened his eyes in confusion and was almost frightened by the scene in front of him and fell off the rock wall.
He panicked and grabbed the side of the rock wall, staring at Shang Youqing, who had just emerged from the barrier. He saw clearly that the piece of skin she was holding was the dragon scale-like membrane that had been peeled off from the dragon's tail...
Cheng Huang’s eyes went dark and he almost fell over.
Shang Youqing saw that he looked pale and about to faint, so he quickly came over to support him, "What's wrong, Cheng Huang?"
Cheng Huang looked at the thing she was still holding in her hand and asked in a trembling voice, "...Fenghuang, you, you really skinned Ying Shixue?"
"ah?"
Shang Youqing then followed Cheng Huang's gaze and glanced at the object in his hand. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "This is a dragon's slough, the membrane shell that fell off Ying Shixue's body."
Cheng Huang was still in shock and patted his chest, "...scared me to death."
Shang Youqing jumped onto the rock wall beside him and sat down. He quietly tugged at the dragon slough in his hand. After a long pause, he continued, "He used the dragon scale to bring me a message."
"What?"
"Next, he must completely complete the dragon shedding before he can come out to see me."
In other words, the piece that Shang Youqing was holding in his hand was only a small part of the dragon's husk.
Cheng Huang clapped his hands and said, "This is great news! When he finishes his Dragon Shedding retreat and comes out, it means he's fully recovered and ready to skin you alive!"
"...But the dragon's shedding cycle is unpredictable. What if it takes him hundreds of years to emerge?"
Cheng Huangyu choked and thought seriously for his Phoenix, but before he could think for a second, Shang Youqing slapped his other leg with one claw, "He dared to make me wait so long, I don't want him anymore!"
After saying this, it transformed back into its true form of a phoenix. Its spread phoenix feathers whistled past along with a sharp mountain breeze, and its long tail feathers rolled up the fine snow foam on the ice peak.
The wind and snow are blowing.
The night sky over the Kunlun Snow Mountain is solemn and clean, dotted with dense stars.
Shang Youqing and her two cubs squatted on the stones outside the temple door.
The door of the temple was open. The priest stood on the long steps, looking at the two furry heads, one big and two small, squatting outside the temple, snuggling together and chirping to each other, as if they had endless things to say.
Full of kindness.
When Cheng Huang came over from the backyard carrying lotus root powder soup, he saw this scene and felt very happy.
If he hadn't slipped and spilled the soup all over the priest, and the priest had punished him by copying scriptures for three whole days!
As the seasons change, the snow on the Kunlun Mountain Temple never melts.
In early spring, the old man Changyi came to visit the Snow Mountain and said that strange phenomena had appeared in the western and northern seas one after another. Ying Shixue was still in seclusion, so he could only send the two cubs who also possessed the blood of the ancient dragon to consolidate the sea area.
Shang Youqing accompanied the two cubs to the western seas and the northern seas respectively. When they returned to Kunlun Mountain, it took him more than half a month to recover.
And after that, whenever extreme weather occurred, the two cubs had to go back to the sea from time to time to calm the mountains and rivers.
At the beginning, Shang Youqing was very happy and was very attentive to pick up and drop off his baby personally every time. Later, as the weather turned colder, Shang Youqing became sleepy.
One day, before setting off down the mountain, the brother and sister had a clear division of labor. He Zhimo went to pack his luggage as usual, and Shang You was responsible for waking up his mother.
Shang You leaned against the bed with his little face in his hand, watching over his sleeping mother without blinking.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around to look at her brother who had already packed his luggage and came over, and stretched out her little finger to make a "hush" gesture to her brother.
He Zhimo also came over, his face full of happiness. He looked at his mother for a long time before tiptoeing out of the room with his sister.
Cheng Huang waited outside the temple for a long time. Finally, when the two cubs came out, he looked behind them in confusion and said, "Hey, dear children, isn't Phoenix going to leave?"
"Mom hasn't woken up yet."
"Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we can come back. Maybe we can make it back in time to have dinner with Mom!"
Cheng Huang left with the two cubs with a helpless look on his face.
If the priest had not gone to the Ninth Heaven to discuss matters this morning, he would have told the priest about this matter. Now the two cubs are really better than their father in protecting the phoenix.
The morning light interweaves with the winding and magnificent ice peak ridge, as if a huge dragon is passing through and leaning over.
Shang Youqing was half asleep when he heard a knock on the temple door. Without thinking, he muttered, "Cheng Huang...someone is visiting..."
However, the palace door was still knocking slowly.
Shang Youqing angrily tightened his clothes, walked out and pushed open the door of the palace.
Amidst the vast expanse of white mountains, Ying Shixue stood quietly outside the palace, her snow-white clothes seemingly covered with a thin layer of silver frost.
His cold and sharp eyes were slightly lowered, but they completely captured her.
Shang Youqing looked at him calmly for a few seconds, and without saying a word, he closed the door.
As a result, before the palace door was closed, he was pulled into the arms of that slender and powerful hand.
"I'm back."
"Who are you?"
"You should wipe away the snow."
"Who is Ying Shixue——"
"I belong to Little Phoenix."
He lowered his head and gently kissed Shang Youqing's forehead, imprinting an unbreakable oath on her face. He declared in the Snow Mountain Temple beneath the nine heavens, "You belong to Little Phoenix for eternity."
At that moment, Shang Youqing was swept by the eternal coldness of the dragon, but he was no longer afraid. Instead, he hugged his neck even tighter and bit the snow-white skin on the side of his neck with his teeth.
She didn't bite hard, just held it tightly.
Grinding and pressing between the teeth, whispering repeatedly.
It's her dragon.
It's a dragon that belongs only to her.
After a long, long time, he finally managed to utter a few words, "There's more... there's more."
Ying wiped the snow and bent down to kiss away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the icy breath fell.
"And I love you. Unendingly."
