It is soft and smooth, more comfortable than any silk in the world.
The phoenix gazed at the person before it with its crystal-clear eyes, nuzzled against him, and slowly withdrew.
Geng Qi looked into its eyes and actually understood what it was saying. His eyes lit up, and he grabbed Rong Yu, saying, "Let's go!"
The two leaped onto the phoenix's back. Seeing that the person on the ground was still standing there, Geng Qi said helplessly, "Senior Ji Rong, come on up!"
Ji Rong glanced at the phoenix, which had already lost its warmth, nodded slightly, and jumped onto it as well: "Thank you."
Geng Qi smiled.
The phoenix took off from the ground, broke through the cave, and flew out rapidly.
More boulders were thrown up from below, but were swept away by the phoenix's tail feathers and fell straight back into the cave, landing squarely on the "secret realm." The already fragile corpse instantly turned into a puddle of mud.
Near the collapsed grassy area, the sect disciples who had fallen had managed to climb back up. Some were meditating and cultivating using the spiritual energy of the dense forest, while others were scrambling to find priceless spiritual herbs. As soon as he came out of the cave, Geng Qi took a breath and said, "They shouldn't be chasing after us."
Ji Rong said, "He..."
“He’s not dead, his spirit is still intact,” Geng Qi said. “But it’s alright. He controls the entire secret realm, and the secret realm is equivalent to his body. He wouldn’t be foolish enough to harm himself to hurt others.”
Just like the human body, a small cut is a minor injury that doesn't cause much harm, but if you really want to kill someone, it's enough to severely damage their vital energy!
Looking at the phoenix carrying them, Geng Qi's eyes showed a hint of confusion. This was all the information he had gathered when he made eye contact with the phoenix earlier!
Ji Rong visibly breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands in thanks to Geng Qi, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Demon Lord. However, I'm afraid I must decline Your Excellency's kindness, as I still need to take them away."
"..."
Geng Qi remained silent about his overly kind behavior, and instead smiled and said, "Senior, you're not going to take things from me anymore?"
Ji Rong was taken aback. He looked at the phoenix flapping its wings and flying forward beneath him, and said seriously, "That was originally yours."
"..." It belonged to him from the start?
What's the meaning?
Before he could ask, Ji Rong had already flown away from the bird's back on his sword, cupped his hands in greeting once more, and bowed as he left.
"Hey, you mean him... what's wrong with you?" Geng Qi turned his head and saw Rong Yu's strange expression. He blinked, somewhat puzzled.
Rong Yu didn't respond, but turned his gaze to his neck and nuzzled the crook of his neck.
The spot where the phoenix had just brushed against felt slightly itchy and strangely sensitive when touched by his fingers.
Geng Qi swallowed hard: "Wh...what's wrong?"
Rong Yu leaned in and bit his neck.
Geng Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, why are you biting people again!"
Could he have gone mad again? It doesn't seem like it!
He was completely bewildered, and unable to dodge, so the boy kept nibbling at the ticklish spot on his neck.
"From now on, don't let anyone else touch you."
"ah?"
Who did he let touch him?
"Ouch!" Just as he was feeling confused, he was bitten on the neck again. Geng Qi quickly dodged, "Okay, okay, I know!"
So this person is even jealous of a bird!
He had intended to say that the phoenix beneath him wasn't human, but something suddenly flashed through his mind, and he swallowed his words back. He knelt on the bird's back, hugged it, and coaxed, "Okay, from now on, you can touch it all by yourself, alright?"
Rong Yu looked up with a strange expression, only to have his face cupped and kissed by him.
Geng Qi kissed him to his heart's content, but found he couldn't push him away. He couldn't help but open his eyes and said, "Ugh... that's enough. First... let's find someone."
Rong Yu only let go of him after he finished speaking, letting him search for people with his swollen, red lips from being bitten, before finally smiling with satisfaction.
The phoenix that "came back to life" in the cave seemed unaffected by the barrier and flew extremely fast. Geng Qi quickly found his target by a river. Fortunately, Qing Han and Scorpion were always sticking together. With a flick of his golden whip, he caught both of them. Rong Yu also brought Chen Jin along. The three of them were suspended in mid-air, looking completely bewildered as the phoenix dragged them forward.
