Chapter 214 - Encounter At Sea, Violent Fire Phoenix (4)
"He"s okay. We are watching him. How could anything happen to him?" Lin Yuan said nonchalantly. Feng Aoran was really too insensible. He only thought about going out to see his relatives, but he didn"t think about how he would explain his presence to his family if he really went out.
"I"ll go see him," Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Alas, it wasn"t that she wasn"t sympathetic, but she couldn"t risk exposing her secret. Although the Feng family was her ally, not all of the Feng family had her trust.
Leng Ruoxue went straight to Feng Aoran"s bamboo house, pushed the door open, and walked in.
"Aoran," she called out softly.
"When can I meet the first elder and Grandpa?" asked Feng Aoran, who was sitting on the bed with his back facing Leng Ruoxue..
"You can meet them after we save Feng Da and leave," Leng Ruoxue explained lightly. She knew that Aoran was a little angry at her because of this.
With that, Leng Ruoxue left Feng Aoran"s house and entered the purple bamboo house.
Inside the house, Qing Jue was guarding Freak"s body.
Qing Jue threw himself into Leng Ruoxue"s arms and said coquettishly, "Big Sister, you"re here."
"Qing Jue, it"s been hard on you." Leng Ruoxue hugged Qing Jue gratefully. She was very touched that Qing Jue had been taking care of Freak"s body for her.
"Not at all. But Big Sister, what do you intend to do with Ye Chen"s body?" Qing Jue asked curiously. Does Big Sister just plan to keep the corpse here?
"I don"t know either. Let"s leave it here first," Leng Ruoxue said sadly. She really didn"t want Freak to leave her, but she also knew that she couldn"t keep him by her side forever. Otherwise, her grandfather and the others would be worried to death.
"Big Sister, who is this person?" Baby asked cautiously while his big blue eyes stared intently at the man on the bed.
"He is the person Big Sister likes," Leng Ruoxue explained, her gentle eyes looking at Freak wrapped in ice on the bed.
"Isn"t Baby who Big Sister likes?" Baby asked with raging jealousy, but the expression on his little face was pitiful.
"Of course, I like Baby too!" Leng Ruoxue coaxed helplessly. Why is Baby so possessive? Her head hurt again.
"Then why can Big Sister like others?" Baby pouted unhappily.
"Uh, Baby, that"s different." Leng Ruoxue really didn"t know how to explain a relations.h.i.+p problem with an underage little beast.
"What"s different?" Baby didn"t understand. He only knew what the feeling "like" was.
"You"re still young. You"ll know when you grow up."
After comforting Baby, Leng Ruoxue said to Qing Jue, "Qing Jue, I"m going out first."
When Leng Ruoxue left the Heaven and Earth Bracelet and returned to her room, she saw Leng Qingtian and the others waiting for her here.
"Grandpa, why aren"t you guys resting?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
"We were waiting for you!" Old Man answered first.
"Oh, is anything the matter?"
"Ruoxue, what are we going to do about the first elder and Feng Jing?" Lin Liang asked with a bitter face. They didn"t dare to enter the s.p.a.ce with the two outsiders around.
"I don"t know either," Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Of the two, one was Big Brother Feng"s grandfather, and the other was the Feng family"s first elder. For the sake of Big Brother Feng"s face, she couldn"t chase them away. Moreover, the Feng family was her ally. Alas, they would talk about it again in the future!
"Xue"er, send us into your s.p.a.ce to rest!" Leng Qingtian said. He knew that there was nothing Xue"er could do, so he wouldn"t ask such a question.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue sent the three old men into s.p.a.ce and lay on the bed in her room to have a simple rest.
…
Around dusk, Feng Ling"er came to look for them.
Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived at the main hall of the Phoenix clan with Feng Ling"er.
The hall was built with sycamore wood, and it was for meetings and banquets of the Phoenix clan. Leng Ruoxue and the others felt a rush of fire-attribute spiritual power as soon as they entered.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the grand hall of the Phoenix clan, which was dazzling in gold and jade, while thinking that she really didn"t know who designed this hall to be so similar to human imperial palaces. The only difference was that the pillars and walls of this hall were carved with flying phoenixes.
"Miss Leng, are you satisfied with our Phoenix clan"s chamber hall?" a handsome young man with an extraordinary demeanor asked with a faint smile on the throne.
"Very nice," Leng Ruoxue praised. There were many divine beasts in the Phoenix clan, so it was normal for them to absorb some human thoughts and ideas while traveling the continent.
"I am Feng Zhan, the king of the Phoenix clan. Please come in and have a seat!" the man on the throne introduced himself and then said very politely.
"Little Sister Ruoxue, the Phoenix clan doesn"t have so many rules. Don"t stand on ceremony," Feng Ling"er said while pulling Leng Ruoxue to sit down.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded after sitting down. If she didn"t know that they were divine beasts, she would definitely think that they were humans because the etiquette of these divine beasts was more thorough than some humans.
Leng Qingtian and the others nodded at the Phoenix King and sat down next to Leng Ruoxue. But they were all a little nervous. They would be dead meat if the Phoenix clan harbored any ill intentions toward them.
On the throne, Feng Zhan carefully observed and took in the expressions of everyone. Then he turned all his attention to Leng Ruoxue. His mind was full of thoughts. Can such a weak woman really be the person in the legend?
Soon after everyone sat down, plate after plate of fruits was served. Leng Ruoxue and the others were at a loss for words. Uh! We won"t be eating these things, right?
"Miss Leng, I"m really sorry. There isn"t much food for humans in our Phoenix Clan, so we can only entertain you with these fruits." Feng Zhan was slightly embarra.s.sed.
"It"s okay. We aren"t too hungry. It"s enough to eat some fruits," Leng Ruoxue lied through her teeth.
