To think, in the moderately powerful Daxia Country, one could actually encounter a peerless powerhouse possessing Emperor Martial Arts, even the Divine Phoenix Couple dared not clash with him head-on.
Initially, the Phoenix Couple chose Yunng Swamp of Daxia because this region lacked powerful beings. Little did they expect that Daxia, akin to a place where a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger lay, would ultimately expose them to the most terrifying existence.
"Please show rcy, we admit defeat," the Ice Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix concluded after weighing their options, realizing that they could not contend with this man exuding a fearso royal aura.
They had already lost their third child, they could not afford to lose the other two.
"We are willing to unconditionally give the third child to this young lady and agree that it shall serve her for a hundred years. The previous misunderstanding was all due to our couple’s fault; we had wrongly accused this young lady," the proud Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix finally submitted.
The golden-faced man waved his hand, and the two black giant dragons disappeared.
The Phoenix Couple returned to the Phoenix Nest, having lost the imposing presence they had while besieging Ye Lingyue, looking jittery and terrified as they focused on the two eggs at the feet of the golden-faced man, fearing that Wu Zhong would violently smash them should he beco displeased.
Ye Lingyue felt secretly thrilled inside.
"Little Yueyue, you’re bluffing with borrowed prowess," the golden-faced man whispered into Ye Lingyue’s ear, his tone full of teasing.
Ye Lingyue shuddered, realizing she was still being carried on the man’s back, and she glared at the golden-faced man.
"However, I like it," the golden-faced man’s pale cherry lips curled, forming a seductive arc.
His woman, leveraging his authority, pleased him very much.
"Idiot." Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but feel irritated.
Watching Ye Lingyue and the golden-faced man engage in what appeared to be flirtatious banter, the Phoenix Couple were driven to tears without tears; surely they hadn’t checked the calendar before stepping out, having crossed paths with such a forbidding star.
"Now that we have agreed to your terms, may we have our Phoenix Eggs returned?" Fire Phoenix looked at its own Phoenix Eggs, which were like stones being stepped on, one under each foot of Wu Zhong, its heart bleeding.
Ice Phoenix also appeared on the verge of tears, wishing to rush forward and reclaim the Phoenix Eggs.
"What a joke, spewing slander with blood in your mouths, tarnishing my lady’s reputation, and you think a re apology is enough to settle this? Unless you’ve decided you don’t want these Phoenix Eggs back," Ye Lingyue wouldn’t let them off the hook so easily; those who offended Ye Lingyue could not expect to get away with it.
"What do you want then?" Fire Phoenix glared at Ye Lingyue, its eyes almost shooting fire.
"Simple, pay for my emotional distress, I want the Phoenix Tears and Phoenix Feathers," Ye Lingyue’s little mouth opened to state her claim for compensation.
Little Zhiyo had said that aside from the Phoenix Eggs, those two things were the most valuable on an adult Phoenix Couple.
If Ye Lingyue rembered correctly, one of the materials needed to refine the Heavenly-grade Weapon Nine Dragon Chant was the Phoenix Feather, and she had clearly seen that the feathers on the Fire Phoenix were beautiful. As for the Phoenix Tears, when Ice Phoenix had cried earlier, it flowed like a broken water faucet; Ye Lingyue even felt heartache on their behalf.
Those were Phoenix Tears with miraculous healing effects.
For Alchemists, these were rare materials sought after for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.
"Did you hear that? Do as she says, or else..." The golden-faced man hooked one of the Phoenix Eggs with his right foot, perford a motion similar to juggling a ball, showcasing skillful techniques and occasionally a fancy kick, causing the hearts of the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix Couple to almost leap out of their chests.
The Ice Phoenix thought of having to separate from the third child, and the life and death of the eldest and second child were in the hands of this inexplicable couple, heartsick, tears welled in her blue, large eyes.
Little Zhiyo was so clever, rolling and crawling with an empty dicine bottle, filling up a bottle with the plentiful Phoenix Tears.
Seeing his beloved in such a state, the Fire Phoenix, although furious, had no choice but to submit.
With a shake of his body, he transford into a beautiful Fire Phoenix.
Among the Phoenixes, the Male Phoenix’s feathers are brilliantly colored, especially the crest on its head, multicolored like a rainbow in the sky, an excellent material for Artifact Refining.
On normal days, if anyone were to pluck a single Phoenix Feather, it would be tantamount to touching a tiger’s whisker and assured death; yet, today, blackmailed by two Phoenix Eggs, the Fire Phoenix had to submit.
With a tragic cry, a Phoenix Feather from atop its head fell, landing in Ye Lingyue’s hand.
"Just one?"
The golden-faced man was clearly dissatisfied with Fire Phoenix’s offering. Without a second word, he raised his hand and, with an unresisting force, reached down onto the head of the Fire Phoenix and plucked a handful of feathers.
The manner in which he did it – there had to be at least eight or ten feathers – nearly left the Fire Phoenix bald.
The Fire Phoenix trembled all over, feeling both angry and humiliated.
Little Zhiyo shivered, frightened back into the sleeve of Ye Lingyue.
"..."
So brutal; even Ye Lingyue felt empathy for the pained Fire Phoenix.
This man truly had so nerve, treating Phoenix Feathers as if they were re chicken feathers to be grabbed by the handful.
"Here, these three are for you, I will keep the rest," said Wu Zhong, having obtained the Phoenix Feather, threw a few to Ye Lingyue, keeping the rest for himself, earning a solid rolling of the eyes from Ye Lingyue.
"We have already given you everything, now it’s ti to return the Phoenix Eggs to us." Both the Fire Phoenix and the Ice Phoenix couple were shivering with rage.
After this ordeal, the Phoenix Couple had been traumatized. They would not co to Yunng Swamp to nest in their lifeti again.
"Take them." Although shaless, the golden-faced man kept his word.
He raised his hand, and two masses of Primordial Power, like wispy clouds, enveloped the two Phoenix Eggs, delivering them precisely into the hands of the Ice Phoenix couple, without missing an iota.
This skill of controlling Primordial Power left Ye Lingyue astounded.
Last ti in Qixing Mountain, she knew that this man’s strength was infuriatingly impressive, and today, he seed even more unfathomably powerful.
Who exactly was he, and why did he appear out of nowhere in Yunng Swamp? A great battle had finally co to an end, dawn was breaking at the edge of the sky, and daylight approached.
This incident at the Yunng Swamp would surely alert the nearby towns. Soon, Yunng Swamp would attract a large number of people; the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix couple decided to leave imdiately.
Watching Ye Lingyue holding an egg, the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix turned into their bird forms, reluctant to part, each grasping a Phoenix Egg. They issued a desolate, blood-crying like sad wail and flew towards the direction of the rising sun.
