Almost instantly, Ao Qing's gaze turned toward it, and he could not help revealing a trace of concern.
Yet two figures emerged side by side.
The Five Virtues Phoenix Lord still wore the appearance of a Human Race man. His bearing was extraordinary, his posture carefree and composed, like a refined young gentleman.
Gold Horn remained in his half-human, half-dragon form. Both wore faint smiles.
"Then I must thank you, Father-in-law."
"No matter, no matter."
The Five Virtues Phoenix Lord nodded and waved his hand. "Since our Dragon and Phoenix Races are entering a marriage alliance, and you have agreed to marry my daughter, we are naturally family now."
As his words fell, the Phoenix Lord raised his eyes toward Ao Qing and said, "I have reached an agreement with this young friend. He will marry my daughter, and from this day onward, the Dragon and Phoenix Races shall be joined by marriage."
"Yes."
Ao Qing let out a breath of relief. At least, the marriage alliance between the Dragon Race and the Phoenix Race had not gone wrong.
A moment later, the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord said calmly, "In a few days, I will take him to Immortal Volcano to undergo a round of tempering and cleansing."
"Immortal Volcano?"
Upon hearing those four words, Ao Qing was instantly stunned.
Legend had it that the Phoenix Race's ancestor, Primordial Phoenix, had been a unique lifeform born from Immortal Volcano.
Thus, Immortal Volcano had become the Phoenix Race's Ancestral Land and secret realm. Only the Phoenix Race members with the greatest cultivation and aptitude could enter it to cultivate.
It seems the Phoenix Race truly intends to ally with our Dragon Race. Their sincerity is considerable.
Joy immediately surfaced in Ao Qing's heart.
Though this volcano was the Phoenix's Ancestral Land
