Chapter 23

  "Good thing you're alright, Tenth Sister. Otherwise, Flying would probably have turned into a fossil under this scorching sun!" Feng San smiled and patted Feng Fei's shoulder, speaking with concern to Feng Qi.

  What's with the fossil? It's not that serious, Feng Fei gave him a white eye immediately.

  "Fly, don't be dissatisfied. Look at the state you were in earlier, it's likely that being a fossil would be too light for you, otherwise..." Feng Er's words didn't finish, but everyone already understood what he was going to say next. They looked at Feng Fei with faces full of blame.

  Yes, it is blame!

  Previously, they were worried about Feng Fei's condition, so they just silently accompanied him without a word of blame. But now it's different! The tenth sister has returned safely, and if they don't scold him, it would be unfair to the anxiety they've had in their hearts all these days.

  Was he really so out of control before?

  Feng Fei was shocked, he was just a blank slate in his mind, except for the evil child, he didn't think of anything else, was it really as out of control as they said?

  "Fei Ge, it's not Ninth who said that. No matter what happens, you shouldn't give up on the hope of living." Little Ninth, at such a young age, had put on an air of maturity, leaving everyone speechless.

  Feng Qi saw Feng Fei's knotted face and secretly laughed in her heart, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud, so she could only hold it in, feeling extremely painful.

  Feng Fei's face turned red with embarrassment, and he quickly suppressed his emotions, changing the subject: "Let's get ready to leave this Black Wood Forest and head back home! We've been away for so long, our families must be worried!" At the same time, he glanced at Feng Qi with a hint of a smile and asked: "What about Huo Zui? You're fine, so he should be too, right?"

  Ever since Huo Zui that kid recklessly followed Feng Qiujie and jumped down the big pit, his impression of that kid has completely changed!

  But as soon as the word "Hu Zui" was mentioned, Feng Qi's mouth twitched and he looked embarrassed. He then pointed to a large rock behind him and said to the crowd in a tangled tone: "He's over there, you... find him some clothes to wear!"

  Need she say more? Looking at her wearing a skirt like leaves, everyone also guessed that under the high temperature of evil fire, their clothes were probably all reduced to ashes!

  When everyone pulled out Huo Zui, who was dressed in clothes, from behind the rock, Feng Fei still couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with him?"

  Seeing Huo Zui's eyes tightly closed and completely fainting, everyone was amazed.

  As for Huo Zui's strength, they were quite clear about it. Xie Er was fine, but he was in a state of severe injury and unconsciousness, which really surprised people.

  Feng Qi's face twisted instantly, could she not say that this appearance of his was what she had been looking for?

  It's not her fault, really. Anyone who had just woken up from meditation would be shocked to see a "big pervert" staring at their chest, and she was completely exposed in front of a man, who was also completely naked. Probably anyone would have punched him without hesitation, right? Cough... She admitted that her reaction was a bit too extreme, and he was in a completely defenseless state at the time, which is why he ended up like this now...

  A fleeting apology flashed in her eyes, too fast for anyone to catch, and she said casually: "I've been staying in the big cave for too long, I just fainted from the heat, it's nothing serious."

  Yes, he just fainted, that's all. He was lucky she didn't slap him to death! If it were the old her, he'd probably be having tea with King Yama by now!

  So she is still very "benevolent", isn't she?

  Feng Qiuye said so, and everyone deeply believed it. Anyway, as long as it was Shimei who said it, they all believed it!

  "Xie Er, did you really obtain the Xie Huo?" Although she had just witnessed it with her own eyes, Feng Fei still couldn't believe what she was seeing. The legendary flame that was said to be the life fire of a thousand years ago's Evil Emperor had actually been obtained by Xie Er! It was truly a miracle that was almost impossible to imagine.

  And, with Xie Er's three-star cultivation, how did she manage to do it? Oh! No... Feng Fei's eyes sparkled as he asked excitedly: "Has Xie Er reached the five-star cultivation now?"

  Feng Qi nodded, facing this group of Feng clan juniors she didn't hide anything: "Yes, since I subdued the evil fire, I rose from three-star Xuan Shi to five-star. That damned thing, who knows what kind of crappy technique that Feng Zhi Can volume is? Such a powerful evil fire was subdued and it only increased by two stars, it's really too useless!"

  The eyes of all the young men of the Feng family twitched, twitched again, and finally fell silent collectively!

  This girl is actually human or not!

  To know that her Xuan Qi level has been upgraded by two stars, that's the result of a normal person practicing for one or two years! What else is she not satisfied with?

  And that Feng Xue Zan Juan is a legendary technique of the Phoenix Clan, passed down for thousands of years. Practicing it can change one's physique, and who knows, maybe even cultivate an emperor-level expert like the ancestors of the Phoenix Clan...

  Before, they could have been regarded as a legend to listen to, but facing the current Feng Qiye, they didn't think it was a legend, and it's very likely that it would become a reality.

  The strong Emperor! The hearts of all the Phoenix Clan disciples are excited. If it weren't for their usual cultivation, they would probably have lost control and jumped up by now.

  Under intense pressure, Feng Fei curiously asked: "Xie Er, how did you cultivate the Phoenix Blood Residual Volume?"

  This issue has been bottled up in his heart for a long time! He never had the chance to ask.

  At this time, the young men of the Phoenix tribe also perked up their ears, and they were equally curious about this question. Given Evil's previous status in the tribe, it was unlikely that she would have had the opportunity to enter the "Phoenix Skill Pavilion", so how did she obtain the Phoenix Knowledge Volume?

  At the words, Feng Qiujue raised an eyebrow and sneered with a smile: "Speaking of which, I should 'thank' Erniang instead! If it weren't for her mistaken love, and if she hadn't deliberately come to give me the Phoenix Blood Residual Volume when I was three years old, how would I have achieved what I am today? How would I have had the honor of being known as a waste, 'famous' throughout the land, and become a well-known figure in Mosel Ya City?"

  Yes, shouldn't we thank her? From a young age, she was forced to live under the name of "waste" and was bullied by her clan members as she grew up. Truly, they have been "kind" to her!

  Feng Qi's sarcastic remark, how could the elite disciples of the Feng clan not hear it, and at the same time feel deeply saddened by her past experiences, while also remembering Er Niang in their hearts.

  If they have the chance, they will definitely help Tenmei get everything back. From now on, no matter what happens, they will advance and retreat together with her!

  Feng Fei didn't say much more, he just tightly grasped Feng Qiye's small hand, his face full of sympathy.

  "Don't worry, I'm fine now! Without experiencing hardships, how could there be today's me? I've thought it through, let's go! It's also time to return to the Phoenix Clan!" After returning, who knows what things are waiting for her? But she, Feng Qiuye, was born not knowing how to escape. What's destined to come will come, so let the storm come even more fiercely then!

  Feng Fei and the others nodded, it's time to go home! At the same time, Feng Fei took out the golden thread from his pocket that Feng Qi had worn on her wrist earlier to give it back to her, but a sudden change occurred!

  Just as Feng Fei was about to put the golden thread on Feng Qi's hair, everyone took a step forward and was ready to leave the Black Wood Ancient Forest to go home. However, suddenly a sound came from afar, as if a group of people were walking towards them. The number of people seemed quite large, and everyone looked at each other, their hearts skipping a beat.

  Who is this person? Won't they be looking for trouble again to steal the evil fire? The crowd's eyes were slightly cold, but they tacitly surrounded Feng Qiuye in the middle.

  It was just such a small action that made Feng Qi's heart warm, and he smiled softly, saying: "No need to be tense, the person who came has no malicious intentions. However, I'll leave things here to you for now! I'm leaving first... See you later, Feng Yuan!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, before the young men of the Phoenix Clan could react, she had already hugged Huo Zui and flashed several times, disappearing from everyone's sight.

  Everyone was shocked at the sight, and when they wanted to follow him, a majestic voice suddenly rang out: "Fei Er, you are indeed here."

  Upon hearing that voice, the numerous Feng Clan juniors who had originally intended to follow Feng Qiuyu away stopped in their tracks and turned back to bow respectfully, saying: "Greetings, Master..."

  A figure hastily approached Feng Fei and the others, stopping in front of them. After anxiously sizing them up, he scolded angrily: "You're being reckless! You're too reckless! Feng Fei, aren't you old enough to know better? Don't you know about the dangers of Hei Mu Ancient Forest? How could you bring disciples from Phoenix Manor into this place without knowing what's wrong?"

  Feng Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily knelt down, saying: "Feng Fei knows his mistake! He is willing to accept punishment!"

  It's true that this matter is his fault, being young and arrogant, he actually didn't know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth, bringing people to search for this Black Wood Ancient Forest, causing everyone to encounter danger. Thinking about Yu Liu Fang and Huo Jia Zhu's sinister calculations, if it wasn't for coincidentally running into Xiao Er, then they...

  Thinking of those consequences, it's really the result of one's own rash behavior, and even if punished, it should be endured.

  But this move of his made Feng San and the others anxious! They immediately knelt down in unison, and said to Feng Jue Tian in a loud voice: "Master, we came to Hei Mu Gu Lin voluntarily, don't blame Fei, if you want to punish us, then punish us!"

  Seeing them all kneel down to accept punishment, Feng Fei hastily said: "This has nothing to do with you, get up."

  "No, Fei Ge, if we're going to be punished, then let's all take it together!" Feng Jiu was usually impulsive, but when faced with things, he wasn't a master who shirked responsibility and feared trouble.

  Feng Fei knew it was pointless to persuade them, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "What's the point of this?!"

  "We share good fortune and bad, this is what the Ten Sisters mean, don't you want to honor that?" Fengjiu deliberately shouted loudly, her meaning clear: no matter what happened, they would not let Feng Fei face it alone.

  Upon hearing this, thinking of Xiao Er's personality, Feng Fei and the other young masters couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, seeing Feng Jue Tian standing beside them with a cold face, they quickly suppressed their smiles and lowered their heads.

  "It's really hard to tell, but your feelings are indeed very good!" Feng Jue Tian's voice was very flat, making it impossible to discern his emotions. All the young masters lowered their heads, not daring to look up at him.

  "Hmph! I'll leave Fengyuan myself, you can handle the consequences later. Let's go back to the Phoenix Clan for now." This Blackwood Forest is full of danger everywhere, let's leave first and talk about it later.

  Just as he turned around, the lines on his cold and hard face softened a lot. Although he was very angry that they had come to this Black Wood Ancient Forest privately, seeing their interactions with each other made him feel comforted!

  A family wants to develop, must need many sons and younger brothers unite as one rope, only in this way can the family be strong.

  And hurry up and leave, he still has to go find Xiao Er, there's been no news of her for so long, she was hurt that badly and is now alone with no one to take care of her, it's likely... just thinking about it makes him inexplicably heartbroken.

  No, his son will be fine.

  "Wait..."

  Just as everyone stood up and was about to follow Feng Jue Tian back to the Phoenix Clan, a sudden shout came from afar. Everyone looked up to see Long Shao Xuan walking towards them in his black and gold embroidered robes, standing before Feng Fei and staring intently at the object in his hand: "May I take a look at that golden silk?"

  Feng Fei raised her eyes to see that it was him, and suddenly lost her good temper. Although he was the master of the Long family, the matter of injuring his son couldn't be settled so easily! Moreover, he actually forced Xiao Er to marry his useless son, just thinking about it made her angry. She, a talented young girl from the Feng clan, how could she possibly marry that good-for-nothing Long Yu Kai?

  So, from Feng Fei to Feng Jiu, they all saw that Long Shaoxuan didn't give him any face.

  "Fei'er, don't be rude." The Feng clan couldn't afford to offend the Long family at this time. Although he was also very angry about Long Shaoyuan injuring Xie'er, who made their current strength inferior to others? This tone could only be temporarily endured: "What does the Long family want to see, just give it to them."

  Feng Fei's face was gloomy, and he reluctantly handed over the golden thread in his hand.

  Long Shaoyuan snatched it over, and indeed it was the ancestral heirloom of the Long family. He had given it to Feng Qiniu as a betrothal gift, and at that time, she wore it on her wrist, using it to subdue Huier. There's no mistake. Suddenly, Jun's face changed: "Qiniu! Where is she?"

  Feng's eyes narrowed in his heart, and his gaze also shot towards Feng Fei: "Fei'er, have you seen Xie Er?"

  Upon seeing Feng Xue Tian ask, Feng Fei only then said: "Yes, someone was chasing and killing Yao'er, forcing her into this Black Wood Ancient Forest, that's why we bumped into each other. However, now Yao'er has already... left!"

  Ke Fengfei's last three words had just come out, and Long Shaoyuan's face changed. The sentence "she is still..." that Fengfei heard in his ear had already changed its meaning. He trembled with a low voice: "Is she... dead?"

  "Yes, with her Three Stars Xuan Shi's strength, she endured his full-strength palm strike. If she didn't die, would there be a second way out? For some reason, a sudden pain struck in his heart. Long Shao Xuan suppressed the unfamiliar emotions rising within him and turned to face Feng Jue Tian: "Feng brother, no matter what, I will follow through on my words from that day. Let Huai Er marry Evil Er's memorial tablet and she will forever be the future mistress of the Long household."

  Feng Jue Tian's body shook upon hearing the words, deeply shocked. His evil child had really... really... gone! Had he left?

  His heart tightened, Feng Zhuti's face turned pale. The daughter he had always neglected was finally on his mind, but the result was...

  Upon seeing the two, Feng Fei was taken aback and realized they had misunderstood. He opened his mouth to explain that Xiao Er had left the Black Wood Ancient Forest and returned to the Phoenix Clan, but before he could speak, Long Shaoxuan interrupted him: "Brother Feng, I'll take my leave first! The wedding will be set for three days later. Our Dragon Manor will personally come to escort the bride."

  He finished speaking and led his men away.

  Looking at Feng Jue Tian's pale face and the deeply traumatized look, he felt inexplicable guilt. After all, it was his fault for injuring Xiao Er, which led to her being like this at such a young age... It was also his mistake, so let him take responsibility for everything!

  After all, that girl was very satisfactory to him.

  After seeing Long Shaoyuan and others leave, Feng Fei and others finally came back to their senses. Seeing Feng Jue Tian's deeply traumatized appearance, Feng Fei couldn't bear it and hastily explained: "Father, Ye Er is fine, she just didn't want to meet the master of the Long family, so she went back to the Phoenix Clan first!"

  Wow!

  The phoenix that was originally perched on top suddenly raised its head, and with eyes wide open, it let out a disbelieving cry: "What do you mean? Xiao Er isn't dead."

  "Feng Fei lost his smile: 'That girl isn't so easy to die, she's still alive and well!'"

  "Really?" Feng Jue Tian let out a disbelieving cry, still somewhat unwilling to believe that the three-star Xuan Shi's evil child could survive after withstanding the full force of Long Shao Xuan's palm.

  But in my heart, I still look forward to it, and it's really torturing me.

  Seeing Feng Jue Tian's reaction, Feng Fei couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, although I've been through a lot of hardships, Xiao Er is still alive and well, so don't worry, Dad!"

  Who would have thought that Feng Fei's smile had not yet faded, when suddenly Feng Jue Tian slapped him on the back of his head: "You little scamp, why didn't you say so earlier? You've caused your old man to be so heartbroken. You really deserve a beating."

  "I wanted to say that, but you didn't give me the chance!" Feng Fei rubbed his head, extremely wronged, but in his heart he was secretly delighted. This time they met, he felt that Feng Jue Tian had changed a lot! Yeah, it seemed like he had added some warmth and human touch! Before, he was always cold and icy to everyone, but this time he showed many normal human emotions, which was truly rare.

  And all of this is probably related to that little girl Xiaoyu, isn't it?

  But thinking about it, that girl seems to have magic all over her body. Anyone who gets close to her changes unknowingly! These phoenix tribe sons are the same, and Feng Jue Tian is no exception.

  But isn't such a change a good thing? Won't it make the previously cold and unfeeling Feng Clan more humane?

  "Let's go! Let's hurry back and see how that girl is doing! It's really infuriating, letting that girl run wild. Next time she dares to do this, I'll break her legs!" Feng Jue Tian said harshly, but the warm smile on his face was so gentle it could drown people.

  ……

  Hehe! Finally out of this dark forest, I'm so choked with tears!
