Marriage Tree, He Isn't Here Again

Although the Green Phoenix Territory is called that, there is only one true pure-blooded Green Phoenix, and that is the old patriarch of the Green Phoenix Clan.

Legend has it that she was once one of the auspicious mythical birds of the Great Shang, carrying the Dynastic Luck and suppressing the Southern Border.

She no longer possesses the Dynastic Luck, yet she still retains the surname bestowed upon her by the Great Shang.

Among the ancient trees in the very center of the clan's territory.

Shang Qinqing looked to be a woman no more than thirty years old, wearing clothes that seemed out of place in this era, and possessing a profound and serene demeanor.

At this moment, she was playing the zither with her delicate hands, and as the flowing music played, many exotic birds and birds chirped and fluttered.

Suddenly the music stopped.

"The Green Phoenix clan cannot speak until they meet their destined one."

Therefore, most of them are knowledgeable in music and can express their innermost thoughts.

Shang Qinqing smiled and looked up at the girl listening to the music not far away:

"If you are not skilled in music, you might be exposed when you try to seize the Heavenly Jade."

What was that piece of music just now?

Ying Bing's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at a butterfly fluttering in the distance before turning them away.

"Phoenix Seeks Phoenix." Shang Qinqing smiled, resting her chin on her hand. "I wonder what kind of person this 'Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul' is, that he could win the heart of someone like you, with your Ten Absolutes Physique and ability to Observation of Hundred Birds Form."

How can you tell?

Ying Bing lowered her eyes and reached out to let the butterfly hover on her fingertip.

Shang Qinqing said seriously, "So it was just rumors circulating outside? Then let's teach him a lesson to stop the gossip."

"Can't!"

Ying Bing didn't laugh.

The butterflies were so frightened that they flew away from her fingertips.

"You're too soft-hearted~" Shang Qinqing smiled happily.

Ying Bing paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said:

"Aren't the Green Phoenix Clan known for being taciturn?"

"Yes, it's because I couldn't speak before, so now that I can speak, I can talk to my heart's content."

Shang Qinqing asked with great interest:

"Why didn't you bring him to Southern Border? He's very lucky for his wife; maybe if he came, obtaining the Heavenly Jade would be much easier."

"He..."

Ying Bing had actually thought about it.

Her rapid progress in this life is inseparable from him.

But... unlike himself, he has not observed the Hundred Birds Form, nor possessed the Lunar Phoenix Physique. With Shang Qinqing's help, he would be no different from a true pure-blooded Green Phoenix.

The Demon Race will never tolerate a human taking away the Jade Phoenix God.

Because the Jade Phoenix God can purify the bloodline of the Demon Race and also contains part of the memories of the Nine-Colored Primal Phoenix.

Shang Qinqing suddenly narrowed her eyes and said:

"I'm afraid he'll take risks, but I'm also afraid I'll become too dependent on him?"

"No..."

This unfamiliar word seemed to have never appeared in her dictionary.

She was unafraid even on the Ascension Path...

"Promise."

Suddenly, Shang Qinqing handed out a mooncake.

These are Lotus Paste Mooncake made by the cute version of Little Li.

How come you still have it?

"I knew you'd regret it when I asked you for it last time."

Ying Bing pursed her lips, picked up the mooncake, and took a small bite.

It's that familiar 'taste'.

It's a taste I used to be able to have every day...

"Oh dear, I still managed to bump into something."

Shang Qinqing, with a doting smile on her face, hugged her guqin and started rolling around.

"..."

Ying Bing wrapped up the remaining mooncakes and said in a clear, melodious voice:

"Let's talk about the Heavenly Jade."

"You... you wait for me a moment..."

It took Shang Qinqing a moment to recover.

She sat up straight and said:

"The Divine Jade appears once every sixty years, and each time it stays for seven years. After seven years, it will return to the sky, and then fall back to the Hanging Temple in the next sixty years, where it will be competed for by the various races."

"It seems a great era is about to begin; the geniuses of each race this time far surpass those of the past."

"The more powerful ones include the Roc Clan, the Golden Fur Roar Clan, Qiongqi Clan..."

If it were the Jade Phoenix God, she wouldn't automatically disappear every seven years after each appearance.

It's probably not even up to the young talents of each race to compete for it; the powerful figures of each race have already started fighting each other.

But with the constant fighting every sixty years, it won't be long before Southern Border is barren.

Shang Qinqing had made all the arrangements.

But as they talked, the topic somehow veered off course again:

"No race has ever truly possessed the Heavenly Jade, I think because it has never encountered its true master."

"Your talent is unparalleled throughout history. If your wife, who brings you Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul, were to assist you, you might actually have a real chance..."

"Oh, by the way, there's also a magical Marriage Tree in the Ancient Hanging Temple; I've heard it's very effective."

Her gaze suddenly drifted into the distance, as if she were returning to her youth.

"You're Green Phoenix, why don't you believe in yourself?" Ying Bing didn't quite understand her thought process.

The Green Phoenix can only speak after it has met its destined partner.

Therefore, even today, it is still regarded by many people as a symbol of love.

"Who says I don't believe? I bow three times to the mirror every morning when I get up."

Shang Qinqing said with a smile.

Then she saw Ying Bing ponder for a moment, then put her hands together and bow three times to her.

Her gentle, jade-like face held a hint of seriousness.

"?"

Shang Qinqing choked up for a moment.

This girl not only looks cold, but is also very arrogant inside. When we first met, she put on the airs of a senior, but the other girl stood gracefully and unmoved. It was she who broke her composure first.

"It's more effective when two people pray together!"

"... that tree."

"Same here."

Shang Qinqing it half-jokingly, but in reality it was because she hadn't actually bumped into him in person, so she hadn't had a satisfying experience.

"..."

Ice Block rubbed the Big-Headed Doll's head, remaining silent for a long time with his lips slightly pursed.

He's not here.

Never mind... it's a good thing he didn't come; that's what I wanted anyway...

"You're naturally a man of few words, which is typical of the Green Phoenix Clan."

"As for music... I'll teach you."

Shang Qinqing smiled.

Fate is the most mysterious thing in the world, and love is even more so, a turning point where things seem to take a turn for the better.

Who knows if someone who shouldn't be there will suddenly appear?

Achoo!

High in the sky, a bald Roc soared across the heavens.

Li Mo wiped his nose, a question nagging to himself.

No, we've already Divine Observation Realm; our physical bodies are stronger than those of Demon Beast. How could we possibly catch a cold?

It's not exactly a cold, but I keep sneezing.

Murong Xiao said solemnly, "Brother Li, when you transform into the form of the Cry Dragon, you absolutely mustn't sneeze carelessly."

"Why?"

Li Mo was puzzled. Was it because Demon Beast never got sick?

"I heard that the Cry Dragon clan once had an ancestor who accidentally sneezed, which caused a torrential rain and flood."

Murong Xiao's speech was a little slurred:

"Later, he was chased by the divine sword of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa all the way to the Southern Border before being stopped. Now he doesn't dare to go out at all."

"..."

Li Mo wondered if this was how the Cry Dragon clan got its name as Calamity Beast.

Because of frequent sneezing, it has become a synonym for floods.

"Yeah, it's so annoying when Cry Dragon sneezes!"

The Roc Demon's voice was very soft, but filled with resentment.

"... So that's how your sworn feud started."

Five days had passed since they learned that Ying Bing had gone to the Green Phoenix Territory, so they rode the Roc Demon and flew towards the Cry Dragon Clan's territory.

Nowadays, there are more and more swamps as far as the eye can see.

They're almost there.
