Although he often annoyed Yue by making her cry and hated his occasional arrogance, they still had feelings for each other after being together for a long time, and he was extremely worried about this situation.
Xi Yan's huge eyes were just observing the two phoenix eggs in the center of his claws. He felt both surprised to find a phoenix among the alien race and worried about the different mental fluctuations of the two eggs. He couldn't help but tighten his claws holding the thing.
Yue was anxious: "Hey! Xiyan, you are going to strangle Xiaolong to death! Let go!" Her tone was so tense that she didn't even realize it.
"Frang! Someone stole my pet!"
Zhao Zhao struggled hard but to no avail. This was the first time he had suffered such an injustice since he was born. With tears in his eyes, he called out to all his parents: "Neri, Estuo, Irik!!!"
The dragon's roar echoed for miles. When the purple egret heard these names, his eyes flickered slightly. Only then did he finally spare the energy to check the species of the little dragon in his hand.
A slightly hoarse voice asked with doubt: "What the hell are you?" It looked like neither a Yinglong Golden Dragon, nor a Red Dragon or a Blue Dragon.
"roar!"
At this time, the dragon clan, who had already noticed something was wrong, had arrived, and the dragon roars in the distance were getting closer.
Zhao Zhao was delighted. Xi Yan looked into the distance with a frown on his face. “I can let you go, but you must return these two eggs to us.”
Yue was of course eager to go home, but she realized that Xiaolong didn't care about her own safety and was determined to keep him, and she felt extremely complicated for a moment.
"Xiaolong, just let me go."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhao was devastated: "You traitor, who raised you to this age?"
Yue: ......
The two phoenix eggs were rewards from the system. Zhao Zhao had long regarded them as his own property and certainly didn't want to give them to others.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, several dragon lords and other members of the tribe appeared and surrounded Xi Yan as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
This was the first time that Xi Yan, who had always been cautious, made such a serious mistake - his mental disguise was leaked, which attracted so many alien races.
"Xi Yan, why are you in the Dragon Clan?" Nari's red eyes locked onto Zhao Zhao on the bird's claws, and he spoke with great momentum, word by word: "And why are you bullying our young master!"
"I advise you to be honest, otherwise I will not let you leave this forest!"
The frantic Frank was about to charge forward to fight the Purple Pipebird to the death, but then he was hit by a dragon tail from Estuo: "What are you rushing for, idiot!"
"What if the young master is hurt?!"
With such a grand occasion, the surroundings were densely packed with dragon figures. Xi Yan had no doubt that almost half of the dragon clan members were here.
The dragon and the phoenix were in a state of silence for a moment. Suddenly,
"It's all a misunderstanding."
Xi Yan smiled lightly, breaking the solemnity.
The phoenix transformed into a human form again, walking on the mist in the air, and holding Zhao Zhao tightly in his arms, no longer cold and stiff as before.
His deep eyes were filled with tenderness as he looked at the cub, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was true or false tenderness: "Cub, uncle was just teasing you."
"Your pet is so cute. Here, I'll give it back to you."
As she spoke, she pinched two phoenix eggs with her slender fingers and placed them into the bird's nest above Zhao Zhao's head, without any sign of reluctance.
Yue: ...So you are such a great elder.
Zhao Zhao: ...
While he was stunned, Xi Yan had already handed him over to the dragon clan, saying that it was a misunderstanding.
Estuo, who had just looked indifferent, took the cub the moment Xiyan handed it over and said, "Master, are you okay?"
"Speak up, I'm so anxious!"
He checked Zhao Zhao from head to toe to check if he was injured. On the other side, Xi Yan, who was still confronting Nari and the others, spread his hands, his handsome face full of innocence: "This is not my fault, it's all your fault."
He had a smiling expression on his face, as if he didn't want to offend the Dragon Clan, but his tone contained a hint of provocation: "The Dragon Clan has hidden two Phoenix Clan phoenix eggs for your young master to keep as pets. In this situation, it's hard for me not to come and investigate."
The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan live in the east and west, and they don't interfere with each other. If he hadn't heard from other spirit beasts that they saw phoenix eggs in the Dragon Clan, he wouldn't have come all the way here.
The smile in his deep purple eyes did not reach his eyes, and his gaze was cast at the young master of the dragon clan who was surrounded by layers of dragons and even the corner of his clothes could not be seen.
The dragon clan hasn't had a young master for thousands of years. Where on earth did this young master come from?
Strange... just like... two phoenix eggs that were suddenly born.
"Our young master found the phoenix egg. There's nothing wrong with giving it to him as a pet or a snack!"
Xi Yan: ...My fist is hard.
Seeing that these dragons were being unreasonable, Xi Yan gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, yes, it belongs to your young master."
This group of unreasonable and stupid dragons.
He spoke in a coaxing tone, as if to comfort a child: "Look, I didn't hurt your young master. At most, I just took a look at the phoenix egg. Just let me go."
Xi Yan's abilities were not bad, and he could even be considered a top expert in the spiritual world, but he couldn't withstand the situation of dozens of dragons surrounding him.
Meanwhile, Yue, who had been paying attention to Xi Yan, burst into tears when she heard that he was really leaving without her. "No, Great Elder! What will I do if you leave?"
"Go home, go home, I want to go home!"
“Wuwuwu…”
Zhao Zhao was both upset and sad. She had raised the ungrateful little wolf for such a long time, but he didn't seem to have any attachment to the dragon clan.
"Don't cry! Otherwise..." Zhao Zhao really couldn't say the cruel words, so he asked the system to clear his head and cry like the birds.
I couldn't help but ask in frustration, "Yue was clearly the egg you gave me, why does he have such strong feelings for someone from the Phoenix Clan?"
