Zhuolu arrived today
"My Lord, please allow me to speak."
The Soul Master's childish voice was filled with vicissitudes. Under the pressure from the Phoenix Maiden, he took a deep breath and said, "I believe that rather than beheading him with one sword, although it would be satisfying, it would still not be enough to avenge the blood feud of the Phoenix Clan. It would be better to spare his life. You can punish him as you wish, and let him atone for the Phoenix Clan's sins for all eternity."
These words finally persuaded the Phoenix Maiden. Seeing that her expression softened, Lu Yixin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly settled down. She looked at the Soul Master gratefully and mouthed "thank you."
He wasn't helping Lu Yixin; he was comforting himself.
Lu Yixin is right. That incident a thousand years ago was an undeserved disaster for a child who knew nothing at the time.
“In that case,” Phoenix Maiden said slowly, “let’s take him to the Wutong Tree. Under my very nose, I want to see what kind of trouble he can stir up.”
"No..."
Baozhu frowned, about to speak, but An Ziyi covered her mouth and shook her head almost imperceptibly.
It was already a blessing that the God was spared. Baozhu knew that if she said anything more, it would only increase Huang Nu's resentment towards the God. But the Heavenly Sea could not be without a patriarch.
"You," the Phoenix Maiden glanced sideways at Lu Yixin, "come with me too." With Lu Yixin in her hands, she wasn't afraid that the dragon clan's orphan would dare to rebel.
"But, Grandpa..."
She naturally didn't want to leave Shenqiexing either, but what Bai Tanxiang had just said about Senwang made her very uneasy. She was afraid that something had happened to her grandfather's health again.
"Go on, Xin Xin." Sen Wang ruffled her hair. "Grandpa will wait for you to come back."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yixin felt much more at ease. She helped Shen Qiexing up and began to think about how to ascend to heaven.
"Miss Deer!" Yun Xinglan ran over excitedly and gave her a big bear hug. "Let me take you with me!"
That's great! If Miss Lu could come with them to the Wutong Tree, he would have a lot more time to spend with her.
“Thank you, Xinglan,” Lu Yixin glanced hesitantly at Shen Qiexing, “Then, Brother Qiexing…”
Yun Xinglan's temper changed faster than turning the pages of a book. He sneered at Shen Qiexing, "Him? Doesn't he know how to fly?"
But he'd have to be able to fly first...
Lu Yixin did not force Yun Xinglan. She already knew about the feud between the nine clans of the Yun family. The fact that Yun Xinglan did not rush over and kill Shen Qiexing at this moment was already a testament to his magnanimity.
In the end, Shen Qiexing was taken away by Ling Qianshuang.
"Xinglan, I'm sorry."
The wind whistled past her ears. Lu Yixin gripped the feathers on the golden eagle's back tightly. She knelt down and pounced on him. "Xinglan, I know you hate him."
The golden eagle remained silent.
"Xinglan, as long as you spare his life, I won't stop you from doing whatever you want to him." Lu Yixin sniffed, took a big gulp of cool air, and couldn't help but sneeze twice.
"Stop talking," a deep voice reached her ears. "It's windy here, be careful not to catch a cold."
The Phoenix Maiden arranged for Shen Qiexing to stay in a side hall of the Luan Palace, while Lu Yixin stayed in the place where Huang Sheng originally lived.
Huang Sheng's current condition is still very bad. Huang Nu has been keeping her in a secret room behind her own palace so that she can take care of her. Her original place is now empty. Huang Nu is unwilling to go in, for fear that seeing the things there will remind her of Huang Sheng.
Ever since Lu Yixin came to the Wutong Tree, Yun Xinglan has come to the Luan Palace every day and stays for most of the day. Sometimes, Huang Nu really wants to dig out his brain to see what he is thinking.
"Miss Deer, are you settling in well here?"
Yun Xinglan stepped across the threshold with a smile. Just then, Lu Yixin was tidying up the yard. She picked up a pot of red lotus, turned her head to look at her, and smiled: "Xinglan is here."
"This is heavy! Don't move, let me help you lift it."
Yun Xinglan took the lotus pot from her hand, placed it where she pointed, and brushed the dust off her hands. "Miss Lu must be very good at growing flowers. This red lotus is really beautiful."
"I guess so," Lu Yixin said, admiring the lotus flowers and proudly putting her hands on her hips. "I grew a lot of flowers when I was in Mi Tianze. Mi Tianze may not be good at anything else, but its flowers, plants and trees grow exceptionally well."
"If you have the chance, I'll take you to visit my place."
"OK!"
Yun Xinglan cleared her throat and said mysteriously, "Miss Lu, guess what I brought you?"
"How would I know?" Lu Yixin shifted her gaze. "Is it food?"
Suddenly, a folded dress appeared in Yun Xinglan's hand. With a flick of his wrist, the dress unfolded.
It was a peach-colored long dress, with layers upon layers of embroidery and jingling beads. He picked it up and said, "This is for you."
This is clearly a phoenix-style outfit, so ornate and elaborate that I can't imagine how heavy it would be to wear.
Moreover, she prefers green.
But Lu Yixin still accepted it with delight, "Thank you, Xinglan, I really like it!"
"Why did you suddenly decide to give me clothes?"
Yun Xinglan touched her nose. "Miss Lu came in a hurry, and Wutongmu didn't prepare anything. I saw that you only have two or three dresses that the Forest King sent to change into, so I thought I'd give you a new one."
This was made by the best tailor in Wutongmu. It was expensive, but the materials used were all top-notch. He had already started preparing it when Lu Yixin first came to Wutongmu. If he had known her size, it would have been even more suitable.
"Alright, I came here just to give you this," Yun Xinglan said softly, hiding her reluctance in her eyes, "Then I'll be going now."
Having just returned to Wutongmu, he still had many things to hand over, and he was getting busier and busier, squeezing out time to come to Lu Yixin's place.
"Okay, goodbye." Lu Yixin waved to him.
After seeing Yun Xinglan off, the sky grew even darker. Lu Yixin returned to her room and began to do nothing again.
Was her slap really that powerful... that it kept Brother Qiexing unconscious for half a month?
She lay on the table, unconsciously playing with a teacup in her hand. The Phoenix Maiden only allowed her to visit Brother Qiexing before Shenshi (3-5 PM) every day. Every night, the room there was heavily guarded by several groups of soldiers. Brother Qiexing had no trace of magic power on him, so she didn't know who they were guarding against.
Wake up soon, Brother Qiexing.
—
The next day, Lu Yixin changed into the clothes Yun Xinglan had given her. They were indeed very difficult to wear.
It looks good, but it's not her style.
Huang Sheng doesn't live in the Luan Palace; it's quite far away, and she spends a lot of time on the road every day.
Although she had gradually gotten used to the strange looks from the Phoenix Clan members over the days, it still felt odd to be stared at by so many people all of a sudden.
"Lu Yixin".
Ling Qianshuang's voice came from in front of her, and Lu Yixin shuddered reflexively.
Seeing her still scares me... Lu Yixin patted her chest with a wry smile.
"Miss Ling, is there something you need?" she asked cautiously.
"The Divine Lord sent me to inform you that Shen Qiexing has awakened." Ling Qianshuang said expressionlessly.
"Really!"
She disregarded the fear ingrained in her bones, lifted her skirt, and began to run wildly, leaving behind only a joyful laugh that almost vanished in the wind.
"Thank you for telling me, Miss Ling!"
Lu Yixin rushed to the side hall in a flurry of activity. Huang Nu was already standing inside, confronting Shen Qiexing. She saw Huang Nu suddenly lift the veil, and the two of them immediately turned to look at her.
"Brother Qiexing!"
Overjoyed, she wept, sat beside the god's couch, hugged him tightly, buried her head in his neck, and wailed.
"I thought you'd never wake up again, waaaaaaah!"
Shen Qiexing paused, immediately losing his previous imposing manner. Two blushes appeared on his face as he helplessly raised his arms, unsure whether to hug or not.
The Dragon God, who was never afraid of anything, panicked at this moment and despised himself for only daring to hug the deer when she couldn't see him.
Why can't I do it in front of her...?
"It's alright, Xin Xin, I'm fine now." He finally put his arm around Xiao Lu's thin back and patted her gently to comfort her.
"You scared me to death, you know? Waaaaaah!"
The Phoenix Girl crossed her arms and, unusually, did not disturb the two. Only after they had finished crying and hugging did she frown and ask, "Shen Qiexing, what are you thinking?"
He held Lu Yixin's hand the whole time and said calmly, "I have a sore spot."
"Nonsense, how could I not know..."
The Phoenix Maiden's impatient expression suddenly froze, and she straightened up. "You mean..."
"I will divide the Reverse Scale into three parts, one for each of the Forest Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Spirit Clan," he said with unusual calm. "My cultivation is gone, but the Reverse Scale still contains the most primal power of the Dragon Clan. Although the Reverse Scale can revive the dead, it cannot revive those whose life force has dissipated. So I can't help you with that, but you can absorb the magic power in the Reverse Scale. The remaining people of the Forest Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Spirit Clan will not exceed 100,000, which is enough for you."
He chuckled softly, "I don't need to elaborate on how powerful the Dragon Clan's primal force is; the Phoenix Goddess should already know."
Even if the magical power within the reverse scale were evenly distributed among 100,000 people, it would be enough to elevate their cultivation to a qualitative leap.
"Brother Qiexing!"
Lu Yixin shook her head and said in a panic, "But you'll die without the Reverse Scale! Besides, unless you die, the Reverse Scale can't be removed!"
"I don't want you to die!"
Shen Qiexing gently stroked her long hair and rested his chin on her head. "Don't worry, I have a way."
"Does the Divine Lord have any further instructions?"
The Phoenix Maiden gave him a deep look and said, "You, and the extinct Dragon Clan, all bear heavy sins. Logically speaking, even if I don't kill you, I will never let you go. But now, I have changed my mind."
"From the day your body recovers, I will have you travel through the mortal world, doing good deeds to the best of your ability to atone for your sins, and hoping that your hands will never be stained with blood again."
Shen Qiexing was taken aback. The Phoenix Maiden's thoughts coincided with his own. He glanced at her and his opinion of her changed slightly.
"I will."
