Chapter 83 Baby...are you reluctant to leave He Cong?
Shang You took a nap in the snowy night with howling winds.
When he woke up, he found that he had unknowingly turned back into a young phoenix, and curled up in a small circle on his mother's back, which reflected the luster of her extremely gorgeous and delicate feathers.
In order to prevent the chick from falling, Shang Youqing specially used an extremely long tail feather to hold the ball of hair on the phoenix's back.
Shang You clung tightly to her mother's tail feathers with her little claws, raised her round head like a ball of fur in the biting cold wind, and looked down at the snow-capped mountains looming under the clouds through the gaps in her mother's golden feathers.
Shang You didn’t know where her mother was taking her, she just lay obediently on her mother’s back as usual.
The breath condensed into fine blue ice chips that stuck to the soft and slightly curly mane on his neck. Shang You shook his head and tail, and the ice crystals attached to the feathers shook off and evaporated into mist in the thin air at high altitude.
This was also the first time since Shang You first shed his tail that he discovered that his phoenix fire attributes were different from his mother's.
My mother's feathers clearly revealed the faint luster of phoenix flames, and the clouds passed by her proud and gorgeous wings were burned with brilliant and colorful flames.
However, the small tail feathers that had transformed half a year ago gradually condensed into ice crystals as blue as snow in the sky, and even the originally white and soft small wings showed a gradient of light blue.
Shang You licked his blue tail in confusion and couldn't help crying, "Mom, why did my feathers turn blue?"
Shang Youqing looked back at the chick, flapped his wings gently once or twice to coax it, and then landed from high altitude in a corner of the mountain.
It was sunrise at this time, and a large amount of golden light poured down from the uninhabited mountains, and it seemed as if the ground under the feet had turned into an endless sacred golden mountain.
Shang You followed her mother, one after another, and retracted her real body. She held Shang Youqing's hand and told her mother in detail the whole process of the color change of her wings while soaring above the clouds.
After saying that, he still felt very confused and muttered, "My mother's feathers are golden, why aren't Youyou's golden..."
Shang Youqing looked around at the steep and rugged mountains around him as he explained the reason to the cub, "Baby, not all phoenixes are golden. From birth, phoenixes shed their tails to take on corresponding attributes based on the different spiritual energies they absorb. Just like mom's priest, he is the Snow Phoenix."
As she spoke, she glanced down at the tiny blue ice crystals still clinging to the little creature's hair, and the corners of her lips curved slightly. "The baby should also be an Ice Phoenix with ice and snow attributes."
Shang You nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked, "Mom, why are we here?"
Shang Youqing paused for a moment and whispered, "Mom has something very important to do, but to accomplish this, we must find the place where Mom's priest is sleeping. Mom can sense that the priest's spirit is probably in this mountain range, but we're still trying to determine the exact location."
Shang You was still too young to have a clear understanding of this. She quickly thought of something else, "What about Uncle He? Mom, isn't Uncle He with us?"
Shang Youqing lowered his eyes and was silent for a long moment before he picked Shang You up again. He stepped over the rocks before him and said slowly, "He can't come."
Shang You lay on Shang Youqing's shoulders and neck, his eyes slightly red and wet. At this time, the little guy didn't realize that this was because of the sadness that surged up in his eyes.
He just subconsciously raised his little hand to rub his eye sockets and told his mother: "But Uncle He told me that he wants to tell me something very happy today."
There was a raging wind and snow in her ears. When Shang Youqing heard this, her breathing was obviously a little sluggish. She lowered her head and leaned against the cub's head, as if she was comforting Shang You, or as if she was comforting herself, she said.
"Because this is a restricted area for humans, He Cong is a human, and there is no way he can come here with us."
This is certainly not the main reason.
If she forcibly used her spiritual power to build a human body protection barrier for He Cong, it would not be impossible for He Cong to accompany her safely.
But the fact is, He Cong could not go into the mountains with her no matter what.
It was originally because he had swallowed two killing obstacles in a row, which violated the laws of nature.
This time she came to the Kunlun Mountains with the sincere intention of surrendering herself and transcending the thunder tribulation.
Just as the Blue Bird Messenger said, if she brought He Cong, who was directly related to the Devouring Killing Barrier, to her side at this time, it would probably not be as simple as just sending down a thunder tribulation.
As he was thinking, Shang Youqing suddenly felt that the little cub lying on his neck had quieted down. For some reason, the little guy buried his little head in the crook of Shang Youqing's neck and didn't say a word.
After a while, Shang Youqing's collar was wet.
Shang Youqing realized it belatedly and Shang You started crying.
Maybe he didn't want her to hear him, so he just buried his face in her neck and cried quietly.
Shang Youqing suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
In the past two years, Shang You has always been well-behaved and sensible, and the number of times he cries is very few.
She still remembered that the last time Shang You shed tears was when she shed her tail for the first time half a year ago. During those days, Shang You couldn't bear the burning pain from her tail and cried to her in pain.
But this time…
Shang Youqing didn't dare move his hand that was covering the little guy's head. "Baby...are you reluctant to leave He Cong?"
"have no idea……"
Shang You's small hands softly hugged her neck, and her tender voice began to choke slightly. "Youyou doesn't know why I can't bear to leave Uncle He... Youyou doesn't know why I feel so sad after parting with Uncle He..."
Shang You cleared his throat and swallowed several times, but he was never able to say "Because He Cong is the baby's father".
She had not yet safely passed the thunder tribulation, and she could not be sure whether Shang You, who was also a descendant of her bloodline, would be implicated by her. Naturally, she did not dare to let Shang You get too close to He Cong, who was associated with the killing barrier, at this critical period.
Before everything was settled, she didn't dare to gamble, nor did she want to let Shang You be happy for nothing.
Shang Youqing could only lift Shang You's head up, gently wipe the tears from her face with his fingertips, and speak.
"I'm sorry, baby."
"But Mommy promises Baby that once Mommy successfully completes this matter, Baby will definitely be able to meet He Cong, okay?"
Shang You had just cried, and even though her tears had been wiped away, her eyes were still red. After hearing this, she keenly grasped the key information and asked, "What about Mom? Won't Mom come with us to see Uncle He?"
Shang Youqing told her uncertainly, "Mom...may not be able to go back so soon."
