Yi Qing and Shen Ying were taken aback. Together, they asked, “Where’s she?”
“Relax, she’s fine now.” Lonemoon frowned. “When I just arrived at the Divine World, I happened to be right next to the Underworld. I sensed the same Yin Qi as we saw in the flower in Xuan Tong’s room. That’s how I came all the way here. On the way over, I found her.”
“Is Shortie alright?” Shen Ying asked.
“Her body is fine, although she is slightly injured.” Lonemoon seemed to have recalled something as his face drained of colour. “She was locked in a cave. At the time, I was not confident of rescuing her on my own, so I told her to look for Shen Ying on her own. I wanted to stall some time for her to escape. Before I could plan anything, I sent her away, and was told that I was going to marry a pervert who already had hundreds of wives.”
The three of them turned to look at a certain phoenix.
The perverted Feng San: “…”
“Little Zhen.” Feng San immediately turned to Long Zhen beside him. “Listen to me. I had no idea about this!”
Long Zhen turned away. “This has nothing to do with me!”
“Little Zhen…” Feng San began to tear up. “Trust me this once. It’s true! Why don’t I bring you into the rear hall – you would know how to come back.”
“I don’t want to know.”
“Listen to my explanation.”
“No.”
“Please listen to me.”
“No.”
“You say I-”
“Shut up!” Yi Qing pursed his lips. The next moment, hundreds of immortal swords appeared in the sky, pointing toward the two of them. This had already gone on for two chapters, yet they were still arguing. “If you keep fighting, I’m going to act.”
Feng San: “…”
Long Zhen: “…”
Er… you’ve already acted.
“Your blood will drench this entire place!” Yi Qing turned to Feng San. “You should know who’s the person that Father Niu sent over?”
Feng San paused. He pondered for a moment, then said, “He came from the Divine Underworld. I only know one ghost immortal from the Underworld.”
“Who is he?”
“Ghost Immortal Zhu Ming.” Feng San frowned, as if thinking of something. Then, he added, “No… If it were him, he might not have been trying to do you harm by sending someone here.”
Lonemoon started. “What do you mean?”
“Come with me to the rear hall and you will know.” Feng San gestured toward his back.
The few of them exchanged meaningful glances, then followed Feng San into the rear hall. The moment they stepped through the door, the entire surroundings changed. The majestic hall immediately turned into a dense forest.
They could hear phoenixes calling from all around them. The phoenixes were of all sorts of colours. They gathered around in a square, as if guarding something. Beside the phoenixes stood a few girls who were dressed in strange clothing. There was an array set up around the birds, and right in the middle of the array sat an egg as tall as the girls. From its texture, it was obvious that the egg was belonged to a phoenix.
“This is…” Long Zhen was startled. “The phoenix’s incubation forest!”
“It’s only temporary,” Feng San replied.
All along, dragons and phoenixes had trouble reproducing. Every single egg had to undergo thousands of years of incubation. That was why both races tended value the incubation process. The moment they obtained an egg, they would focus all their energy on incubating. Even dragons, who were used to living solitary lives, would gather together to incubate an egg once they found out that there was one. That was why each race would normally keep their incubation location hidden from other races.
