Phoenix Clan Presses for Marriage, Taking the Easy Way Out

"This humble Daoist priest, Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves, greets Senior Feng!"

Wu Chu had no choice but to step forward obediently, lest he be looked down upon.

Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway; trying to hide it only makes you look bad.

"May I ask what urgent matter you wish to discuss with me, senior?"

Upon hearing this, Feng San scoffed, "What important matter do you have to ask? Don't you know why I sought you out? If that's the case, then you're far too foolish and unworthy of Xi'er!"

Following his lead, Wu Chu nodded respectfully and said, "Senior is absolutely right! I am foolish and unworthy of the clever and quick-witted Fellow Feng Xi. I was previously unaware of the customs of the Phoenix Clan, let alone that the Phoenix Tail Feather could represent such a meaning. Please, Senior, return this item to Fellow Feng Xi on my behalf. I am unworthy!"

As Wu Chu spoke, he took out the phoenix feather and gently pushed it toward the fire phoenix Feng Li.

This scene left Feng Li and the birds of prey Feng Li all looking astonished. This kid has quite the heart and courage!

If they had ever played Mahjong, they would definitely say: This kid doesn't play by the rules!

Feng Li a soft snort, and the Phoenix Feather curled back and returned to Wu Chu's hand.

"Arrogant brat, how dare you order me around! You don't even know the meaning of death!"

Wu Chu's "taking advantage of the situation" made Feng Li feel very embarrassed, and he even felt that Wu Chu was looking down on his daughter, rather than feeling that she was unworthy of him.

Because those who are truly unworthy of Feng Xi will argue their case and demonstrate their strength, so that others will know that they are not unworthy of her.

Wu Chu's actions clearly showed that he didn't care about Feng Xi, which was unacceptable to him, as her father, Phoenix.

Qingqiu Li frowned slightly and sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist, isn't this a bit unreasonable? You feel my brother is not worthy of Fellow Feng Xi, and my brother also admits he is inferior. What more do you want? If you can't go along with my wishes, do you want me to go against them?"

"..."

Feng Li momentarily speechless, and the raptors behind her were also somewhat bewildered.

Originally, they came to give Wu Chu a hard time. Feng Li had wanted to do this ever since Fengyang Daoist told his third uncle about the matter.

However, since he was in charge of the Phoenix Clan's northward expansion, and Wu Chu and the others were far away in the South Sea, he decided to wait until they returned from the southeast before going to Purple Jade Mountain to find him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chu and his group returned by land, which made things even more convenient. Thus, after the Phoenix Clan's daily patrol of the lesser demons discovered their tracks, the current scene unfolded.

It's quite obvious that Wu Chu probably didn't have those kinds of feelings for his daughter.

This put Feng Li in a difficult position. He originally intended to give the other party a hard time and test this potential son-in-law, but things turned out this way.

However, Feng Li was not one to be inflexible, and immediately burst into laughter, "You do have some courage! It's not that my daughter lacks vision."

As he spoke, he flew towards Wu Chu and the others. Behind him, a woman in green and a young man in black followed. The woman in green looked somewhat like Qingluan, and it was unclear whether she was the Phoenix Maiden Qingluan.

"What? Fellow Daoists, won't you invite this humble Daoist to sit on the boat?"

Wu Chu was somewhat unsure of Huo Fengfeng's true intentions, given her inconsistent and unpredictable attitude.

But since they left their main force on the shore and boarded the boat themselves, they clearly had no intention of fighting. If they were to fight, they would have to bear the consequences of the Qingqiu Clan's rebellion. I believe that as long as Feng Li has any sense, he wouldn't do such a thing openly.

"Senior is too kind. We are most pleased!" Wu Chu bowed to Feng Li and the other two, then looked at the young man in blue and the young man in black, "May I ask how you two are addressed?"

"Feng Qing (Great Wind)!"

When Wu Chu heard the name 'Feng Qing', he was somewhat speechless, because he directly misheard it as 'angry young man'.

Feng Qing should be the same as Feng Zi Qingluan.

And this young man in black, Great Wind, should also be one of the Phoenixes.

Tsk tsk, the Phoenix Clan actually sent two sons and one daughter to expand northward in the same direction. They probably want to develop from south to north and then from east to west!

Wu Chu invited them to sit on the deck, where he, Qingqiu Li, and Miss Houtu kept them company. He then asked the Little Fox to serve them fine wine.

Qingluan glanced around and smiled, "I heard from Xiao Fengyang that the food at Purple Jade Mountain is even more delicious than the food in our Royal Court. Would you like to invite us to try it?"

She originally appeared to be a very aloof and cold beauty of the Phoenix Clan, but with this smile, her temperament instantly changed. This transformation in temperament is comparable to that of Qingqiu Li, the Fox Ancestress.

"Don't worry, while I can't guarantee there will be enough, I'm sure you'll feel your trip was worthwhile!"

Wu Chu spoke, he instructed Little Moon Spirit to go and prepare food for everyone.

The young man in black silently savored the wine that the Little Fox had poured for him. He had a cool look, a hooked nose, and gave off a somewhat sinister vibe.

It must be said that these three daughters have quite different personalities.

After taking a sip of the fine wine, Fire Phoenix frowned and said, "This wine is fragrant and delicious, but it is not strong enough and is only suitable for women. Do you have any strong liquor, young friend?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu took out a jar of animal bone wine made by soaking animal bones.

Of course, this wasn't made with dragon bones. After all, this great Great River is the territory of the Dragon Clan, and Wu Chu couldn't very well use Dragon Bone Wine to provoke Dragon Clan.

This is a jar of alligator Dragon Bone Wine made from the bones of that original Two-Headed Crocodile Dragon.

After taking a sip, Fire Phoenix exhaled and said, "That's more like it!" Then he looked at Qingqiu Li and asked, "Fellow Qingqiu, you didn't realize earlier that my younger brother is your brother?"

Qingqiu Li smiled and nodded, "My brother is someone I've adopted. He truly didn't know that the Phoenix Clan's tail feathers had such a meaning. I hope Fellow Feng San won't make things difficult for him."

Although Qingqiu Li lied, given her relationship with Wu Chu, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Wu Chu was her younger brother.

Fire Phoenix waved his hand and said, "Just now I was merely testing his courage. As for Xi'er, although I am her father, this matter is ultimately her own decision, so I will not interfere."

Qingqiu Li guessed that it wasn't that he didn't want to get involved, but rather that he was afraid Wu Chu would give him another "opportunity to back down," leaving him unsure of what to do.

If they forced Wu Chu to marry his daughter, it would be beneath his dignity, making it seem as if his daughter couldn't find a husband, which would be a disgrace to the Phoenix Clan.

Wu Chu knew that it was better to talk to Feng Xi directly about this. If he had known that Phoenix Tail Feather had such intentions, he would never have accepted it in the first place!

Although Feng Xi is quite cute, she's not as mature as the Little Fox! Not to mention compared to Qingqiu Li and Houtu.

While it's true that feelings shouldn't be judged by appearances, if these physical attributes are already lacking, why make this choice?

Wu Chu isn't stupid; surely he knows how to choose?
