You Are My Little Phoenix!

The five Insect Race Five Commanders appeared, and the tide immediately turned!

The weaker Insect Race warriors, who had just been slaughtered by the Fire Qilin warriors, went into hiding, and in their place appeared a large number of elite Insect Race warriors!

Swarms of Black Hole Stage Insect Race appeared: Mantis Warrior wielding Double-Edged Battle Blade, Beetle Warrior clad in thick armor, Bumblebee Warrior and Scorpio Warrior holding highly venomous Long Spear, densely covering the sky and earth, stretching to the horizon!

Among them, the ubiquitous Star System Stage serves as the commander, leading these groups of warriors, ready to charge at any moment!

These are no ordinary Insect Race; they are clearly the entire main force of the Insect Race!

Normally, these insects can hide underground. The entire Scorpio Mother Nest is a huge trap. They have prepared everything in advance, just waiting for the Fire Qilin warriors to come and die.

"Hahahaha~~~~!!!!"

The Mantis Commander laughed maniacally in mid-air, "Foolish humans, don't you always mock our Insect Race for our low intelligence? How come you're all surrounded today? How about it? Have you been given a huge surprise by the Insect Race, whom you considered to be of low intelligence? I'm afraid you can't handle this surprise!"

The beetle commander, clad in black armor with only his eyes visible, swept his sinister gaze across the group of Fire Qilin warriors. "After this, you won't need to mock our Insect Race anymore, because you'll never have such an opportunity again. This Scorpio Main Star will be your final resting place!"

The warriors of the Fire Qilin were somewhat panicked. They began to gather around Ye Hua involuntarily, looking for someone to rely on and have someone to depend on.

"How could this be? Weren't the Insect Race commanders supposed to be at odds with each other and never join forces?"

"That's right! Weren't the Insect Race supposed to be defending against the attacks from the Landis Empire and the Rakshasa Empire? How come all their main forces are on our side?"

"Ye Hua, what do we do now? Come up with an idea!"

Ye Hua's face was grim as he bit his lip and said, "We've fallen into a trap. It's all a smokescreen put out by the Insect Race. But don't worry, their combat strength is not as good as ours. We've already killed two of their commanders. As long as we can kill their leader, we will still win this battle!"

After speaking, Ye Hua turned to look at Feng Qingluan, Nan Lie, Tian Ci, Lin Zhen, and the others.

"This time it's Moment of Life and Death. I suggest that on our side, the five of us— Qingluan, Tian Ci, Nan Lie, and Lin Zhen— each hold off one Insect Race commander, and the rest can be dealt with by the others. The five of us are the key to the battle. As long as we win, no matter how many warriors they have, it won't matter."

Although Lin Zhen's cultivation level is not high, he has already proven his strength on the Suspended Island, and later Lin Zhen even killed the Centipede Commander. He can already be considered a first-class expert, and Ye Hua will not let him go unused.

"What if we lose?" Nan Lie asked.

"If we lose, then let fate decide our fate!"

Several people turned their attention to the five Insect Race commanders. Ye Hua's words made sense. If they were to fight a war of attrition now, they would be courting death. Only by using decapitation tactics and killing the enemy's leader could they have a chance of survival.

Ye Hua spoke first, "This suggestion was made by me, so I should bear the most important responsibility. I will take over the Mantis Commander, and you can choose any other commanders you like."

"I choose the Locust Commander!" Among the Five Commanders, the Locust Commander was the weakest, so Tian Ci hurriedly Xuan Ze, ignoring the contemptuous looks from the others.

"Then I choose the Beetle Commander." Nan Lie also made his Xuan Ze. The Beetle Commander's strength was only slightly stronger than the Locust, and he couldn't compare to the Scorpion or the Bumblebee.

"I choose Scorpio Commander." Lin Zhen didn't wait for Feng Qingluan to speak before immediately Xuan Ze the strongest Scorpio. He had a feeling that Feng Qingluan would have an easier time dealing with the purely flying Bumblebee Commander.

Feng Qingluan's Cherry Lips moved slightly, but she didn't look at Lin Zhen or say anything more, indicating her tacit agreement.

"Now that everyone has made their Xuan Ze, let me whisper something to you."

Ye Hua lowered his voice. "Everyone, I bear a great responsibility for the mistakes in this battle, but you are all the elites of the empire, and we cannot afford to perish in battle. If there is a chance to break out, everyone should flee for their lives. There is no chance of winning this battle, and I will never blame anyone who leaves."

After saying this, Ye Hua raised his sword and pointed it directly at the Mantis Commander in the sky. "Mantis! Come on! Let's have a real fight, do you dare or not!"

Upon hearing Ye Hua's challenge, the mantis's face contorted with rage. "Heh heh! Ye Hua, you brat, don't think you can challenge me just because you have a little talent. Today I'll show you just how powerful the Mantis Clan, the strongest fighting race in the Insect Race Empire, truly is!"

"Get out of the way! Nobody is allowed to interfere!"

The surrounding Insect Race made way for him, Mantis Commander brandished his twin blades, hurtling towards Ye Hua!

Ye Hua also leaped up, brandishing his Long Sword, and engaged the Mantis Commander in battle.

The two fought from the ground to the sky, then fell back to the ground, and then fought their way back into space, gradually disappearing into the endless swarm of insects until they were no longer visible.

With Ye Hua leading the way, Nan Lie and Tian Ci also challenged their respective chosen commanders, and a great battle quickly ensued.

Feng Qingluan turned around and looked at her sisters in the Qingluan Society, her tone somewhat heavy.

"Sisters, when the battle begins, remember to break out in the opposite direction from me. You should be able to leave this place. The only thing to remember is never to follow me. That way, you'll still have a chance to survive. Once you've broken through, immediately return to the Bright Passage and leave the Chaotic Star River. The battle here is over."

Lan Yu'er, Feng Hong'er, and the other girls were stunned. "Boss, what about you? Aren't you coming with us?"

Feng Qingluan shook her head and chuckled, "I'm afraid that won't work. If we all go together, none of us will be able to leave."

"No, boss! We can't leave you alone!" The girls from the Qingluan Society were almost in tears.

"Don't cry!"

Feng Qingluan's face suddenly turned cold. Her long-standing authority made the girl afraid to cry out loud, and she could only hold back her tears.

"Our Qingluan Society still has a foundation to manage. When you get back, tell my Master to help look after it. I'm not discussing anything with you; this is an order!"

After saying that, Feng Qingluan let out a deep breath. "There are some things that I have to go through. I can't run away from them. You go ahead. Maybe we'll meet again in the future."

Lan Yu'er and the others knew that Feng Qingluan had made up her mind, and dared not disobey her. They could only look at her with teary eyes and slowly back away.

Just as the swarming Insect Race were about to attack, Feng Qingluan suddenly turned to look at Lin Zhen.

"The enemy is about to attack. Aren't you coming with me to fight them?"

"Me, come with you?" Lin Zhen was taken aback, not understanding what Feng Qingluan meant.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Lin Zhen's stunned expression, Feng Qingluan finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

This smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, making the world pale in comparison. Not only was Lin Zhen stunned, but the women of the Qingluan Society were also stunned.

Having followed Feng Qingluan Feng Qingluan many years, they had never seen her smile before. Even when she did smile, it was only a cold laugh or a perfunctory smile. This genuine smile was absolutely unprecedented!

I never expected Feng Qingluan to be so beautiful when she smiled. No wonder she was awarded the title of the most beautiful woman in the Fire Qilin when she first arrived at Kirin Saint Star.

It was probably after receiving this title that Feng Qingluan stopped showing a genuine smile.

"Yeah, you're not coming with me. Are you really going to let me go alone?"

Lin Zhen felt a sudden tremor in her heart. This was definitely not how Feng Qingluan should behave. Could it be that she was saying this?

"Who are you?"

Lin Zhen was pleasantly surprised.

Feng Qingluan walked slowly to Lin Zhen, raised her slender, jade-like finger, and gently touched the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.

"Doesn't this look familiar to you?"

Upon hearing Feng Qingluan's words, Lin Zhen suddenly realized something, raised his hand, and a teardrop-shaped ruby appeared in his palm.

The gemstone was entirely blood red, as if it were dyed with fresh blood. Regardless of its size or shape, it was exactly the same as the cinnabar mole between Feng Qingluan's eyebrows.

"Could it be that you really are...?" Lin Zhen's eyes widened in surprise.

"The Phoenix Weeping Blood is actually the tears of the Phoenix. My tears fell into your palm, but unfortunately you've never studied them carefully, have you? I've left this thing for you for nothing." There was a hint of reproach in Feng Qingluan's tone, and her temperament seemed to have changed quite a bit in an instant.

"Is this one of your tears?"

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. Could there be some secret in these tears? He had kept the ruby before because he was afraid of being reminded of the past, but now he wanted to see what was inside.

Feng Qingluan grabbed him, saying, "It's too late now. If we win, you'll have plenty of time to go see. There's no need for that now."

Lin Zhen nodded and put away the ruby formed from the Phoenix Blood Tear. "We will win."

"I hope so, Lin Zhen! Fight alongside me."

"Of course I'd stay with you. If I'd known you were Little Phoenix, I would have... sigh!"

Feng Qingluan covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Lin Zhen with seductive eyes. "What should you call me?"

Lin Zhen paused for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Back then, I thought you were a Little Phoenix, so..."

"What? Now that you know who I am, you don't dare to call out?" Feng Qingluan retorted.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Lin Zhen straightened up. "No matter who you are, you are already Blood-Bound; you are my little treasure!"

Feng Qingluan gently pressed a finger to Lin Zhen's lips. "That's enough. Keep that name in your heart, and never give it to anyone else!"

After saying that, she withdrew her finger and looked at Lin Zhen with a smile, "So, I guess I've experienced a relationship now?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Zhen didn't quite understand.

"Don't ask any more questions, Lin Zhen. Remember to live!"

After Feng Qingluan finished speaking, she suddenly swung her three-meter-long cleaver in the Ling Kong and cut a Star System Stage Insect Race that was trying to approach and launch a sneak attack in two!

"Lin Zhen! Let's fight side by side!"

A fiery red, dazzling beauty, pierces straight into the sky!
