"Damn it..." Xiao Hua thought. "This Xiao's infamous name has spread far and wide now! I'm afraid the monster spirits of the Myriad Monster Realm even scare their children to sleep at night by saying, 'Are you going to sleep or not? If you don't, Xiao Hua will come take you away!'"
Huang Tong withdrew his imposing aura, looked around, then took the realm map from Xiao Hua and studied it for a moment before smiling. "There seems to be a problem with King Caihuang's realm map. Although this place is marked as the Phoenix Sacred Realm on the map, the one who just appeared wasn't a phoenix..."
As he spoke, a deeply magnetic birdcall rang out—"Caw..." In the distant sky, a milky-white halo flashed into view. Within the halo seemed to be a spatial gateway, and a swan several hundred zhang in size flew out of it.
"Qiong Yu Realm?" Xiao Hua and Huang Tong exchanged a glance, both surprised. After all, Qiong Yu Realm had been Xie Yuan's homeland before her marriage. Xiao Hua had always felt a certain fondness for this place and did not wish to disturb the Swan Clan.
"Greetings, Human Great Sage. Greetings, Phoenix Race Great Sage!" Before the swan even flew near, she immediately shed her innate arrogance, slightly lowered her graceful neck, and said, "Welcome to Qiong Yu Realm. I am Feather Wind King of Tianfu Palace."
Although Xiao Hua had never seen Xie Yuan's true form, nor had he heard Dai Er mention Xie Yuan's relationship with the master of Tianfu Palace, since Xie Yuan could marry down to Mossa the Demon King, she surely had some blood relation to Feather Wind King and was likely her junior. Thus, Xiao Hua did not dare slight her and hurriedly returned the greeting.
