"Little Phoenix, can you form a contract?" Nian Wanzhou asked mischievously, grabbing the phoenix with an expectant look on his face. "If you form a contract with my senior sister, we'll take you out to find your mother. The senior sister outside is very dangerous. You're just a little cub; you'll probably be swallowed by other demon beasts if you go out for a while."
"Besides, you're a divine beast, a phoenix. So many people covet you. Cultivators all want to form a contract with you and have you work for them, while powerful beings all want to tear you apart, eat your flesh, and drink your blood. Aren't you afraid?"
Since they don't know how, then let Phoenix learn it herself!
Since Xiaotiandao has already found the phoenix egg, the phoenix has to solve everything on its own. It's impossible for it to recognize its mother, but a contract is possible.
The little phoenix curled up in Nian Wanzhou's claws. Although he didn't particularly like this stinky dragon, which was also a divine beast, he still trusted it to some extent.
After all, we're all mythical beasts, so there's no benefit in lying to him.
And that kind godmother, she definitely wouldn't lie to him too. Even if she did, he'd be willing to be lied to!
"I'm scared... Well, I'll learn a little bit, you wait for me," the little phoenix said weakly, looking resigned to her fate. "After the contract is made, you have to take me to find my biological mother! And my godmother, you have to take me to find her too, I believe you!"
Never mind, I'll learn first, after all, he's just a little kid.
"Trust me, there's absolutely no problem. Look, I'm a white dragon. Dragons are even more powerful than phoenixes. Don't worry!" Nian Wanzhou released the little phoenix, letting it fly over to Wei Wenru.
Seeing this, Wei Wenru knew that Wanwan was trying to forcibly bind the phoenix to her, and she didn't want to expose her.
But what exactly does Wanwan want to do?
From the moment she entered the secret realm, she started acting a little strange—no, it should be said that she started acting strangely after she woke up…
Everything he does is strange.
Ke Xiyin and her group were truly stunned by this miraculous scene: the little white dragon tricked the little phoenix into learning the art of contracts, and the little phoenix actually agreed.
That's too fantastical.
I've never seen anything like it before!
Xiyin stood to the side, her brows furrowing and relaxing, her pretty face looking somewhat comical and puzzled.
Not to mention her, even Lexi had never seen such a tactic before.
Junior sister, you're really amazing! You can even fool people with your smooth talk, and the key is that Little Phoenix actually believed you.
He remained silent, watching his junior sister unleash her persuasive skills...
There was nothing they could do. In order for their senior sister to obtain the help of the divine beast phoenix, they all kept silent and let their junior sister do whatever she wanted.
Nian Wanzhou was secretly pleased with herself, thinking she was incredibly clever to have come up with such a trick to fool the mythical beast.
Wei Wenru turned around, cupped her hands to Xiyin and her two junior sisters, and said, "I hope Fellow Daoist Xiyin can keep what happened in the cave a secret. If it gets out, none of us will have a good ending."
Xi Yin replied, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Wei, we will definitely keep this a secret and will not leak a single word."
Wei Wenru herself can tell, but they all have to keep it a secret beforehand. If they really tell, they will be arrested and questioned by some powerful figures.
This is the smallest thing.
If those powerful beings want something and use them as a scapegoat, the entire Sun and Moon Valley will perish as a result.
Do not underestimate the ruthlessness of those who are truly powerful.
“Alright, I trust Fellow Daoist Xiyin’s character,” Wei Wenru said.
Xiyin nodded slightly, "I will do my best."
Only then did Wei Wenru feel relieved enough to put away the little phoenix that was still thinking, and then lead Nan Yu and the others to search the cave.
It must be said that this powerful being's cave is full of treasures, including all kinds of spiritual herbs and pills, spiritual artifacts and talismans, and some of the spiritual artifacts are even top-grade. These are all things that powerful beings use for self-defense.
These powerful cultivation resources are not something ordinary people can possess.
"Senior sister, what name are you going to give the little phoenix?" Nian Wanzhou clung to Wei Wenru's side, sensing the little phoenix's restless movements in the storage ring.
She was especially excited when she heard that she was going to choose a name.
"Is he a woman or a man?" Wei Wenru patted her head, letting her do whatever she wanted.
“It’s male, it’s Feng.” Nian Wanzhou made a V-sign with her fingers, pondering the name.
It's a male, so it's hard to name it.
“This is a phoenix, so let’s name it Feng Xu. Its birth was like the morning sun, warm and with a special care for me.” Thinking of this, Wei Wenru recalled the warm flames when the phoenix hatched, like a mother’s embrace.
Nian Wanzhou: Hmm, it sounds nice, and it sounds familiar. It seems to be from that TV series called "Ashes of Love" or something.
But she still chimed in, "Senior sister, what a lovely name you chose! Hey, Feng Xu, that's your name from now on. Stay put inside and we'll release you once we find your mother."
Feng Xu chattered excitedly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, hehehe. Thank you, godmother, for the name, I love it!"
After Wei Wenru and the others finished searching the cave, they took Nian Wanzhou and the others out. After returning the way they came, they set off again with Linghu and the others to find Song Yan and the others.
......
As soon as we emerged from the cave and reached the cliff edge, we heard the sounds of a fierce fight.
"Song Yan, stop hitting him! If you keep hitting him, your injuries will get worse," a woman's voice shouted.
Then came the sound of fierce swords clashing.
After resting, Song Yan and his group set off again, only to be chased by demons. Not only were their treasures stolen, but they were also relentlessly pursued by monsters.
Having finally escaped the demons and lost many of their cooperating cultivators, they hadn't even had a chance to rest before encountering some Nascent Soul stage cultivators from small sects and being robbed again.
Song Yan couldn't understand why he was so unlucky.
Now, the sect's junior disciples have scattered and fled, and many cultivators, due to serious injuries, have been forced to crush their jade tokens and leave the secret realm.
He wanted to save them but couldn't, so he could only continue walking towards the cliff to the north. Unexpectedly, they still encountered those monsters again.
They seemed to be attracted by something.
A flock of birds and beasts roamed freely, constantly attacking Song Yan and his companions.
Song Yan and his group were not to be trifled with either, and they fought back from time to time. Unfortunately, they were outnumbered and surrounded by monsters in front and pursuers behind. After only a few rounds, they were already on the verge of collapse.
"Song Yan, take me over there, I can control those demonic beasts!" Song Yan was holding a woman in his arms.
The woman stretched out her legs coquettishly, but because her injuries were too severe, she couldn't go down and returned to Song Yan's embrace, her face full of shyness.
This person is Ruan Qianqian from the Vermilion Bird Sect, the woman who was rescued by Song Yan earlier and later fell in love with him.
As for why he was holding...
The reasons are pretty much the same.
She collapsed, he saved her out of a cooperative relationship, she then became attached to him and resorted to trickery.
He was completely clueless, and then, having no other choice, he let it hug him. Now, it claims it can control the monster, so they run away together.
