Chapter 39 - Ill fu?k?n? EAT them! (1/2)

On the way, he found out that the kids were twins of different gender, the boy was named Feng Zu'er, and the girl was named Feng Xian'er. Apparently the group that was threatening them was called the ”Black Demon Mercenary Group”, and they wanted a ”Treasure” from them.

Soon, a small village appeared before their eyes. Some middle-aged ȧduŀts dressed in rough clothing stood in the front of the village, wearing expressions of frustration and helplessness, with a married woman weeping and covering her face.

Still, there were still two questions in Jean's mind, what was the ”Treasure”, and what is that flame-shaped imprint on their foreheads.

Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er threw themselves in the direction of the weeping woman with her husband.

Feng Zu'er/Xian'er: Father… Mother!

The woman suddenly lifted her head when she heard the voices of her children; she almost believed that she was dreaming as she stared in a daze and watched her children dash over. It was only until they had landed in her bosom, that she tightly embraced them.

Husband: Zu'er, Xian'er, how did you….

The middle-aged man on the side was visibly shocked and then was at a loss of what to say in his delight.

He turned back and pointed at Jean.

Feng Zu'er: It's that big brother who fought off those bad people and saved us. Big brother is really strong. He only needed only some seconds to defeat all three of the bad people.

Feng Xian'er: Mn. Mn. Also, big brother promised us that he'll help us fight off those bad people.

All eyes turned to Jean. The middle-aged man took a step forward, bowed deeply towards Jean, and sincerely stated.

?: Sir, thank you for saving my two children. I truly do not know how I ought to repay you… My name is Feng Baichuan and I am the current clan leader. This is my wife Feng Caiyun.

Jean: I was a bit angry with them so it wasn't a problem for me to fight them.

Surprisingly, when Jean tried to analyze everyone's Profound strength, his eyebrows slightly rose when he saw that everyone was at the 10th Elementary Profound Realm.

Feng Caiyun: Thank you, truly, we are too grateful.

A bearded old man at the side heaved a sigh of relief and said.

?: It is simply too wonderful that Zu'er and Xian'er managed to come back safely. However, those vicious thieves…

Feng Zu'er: Big brother is very strong, he can definitely drive all the vicious thieves away.

Jean: Hoho, you can bet I will. *Click*

He turned on the safety of his Assault Kebab since he was in a civilized place, the nearby people were surprised from the sound of his Assault Rifle while Jean spoke.

Jean: Clan Leader Feng, I would like a place to rest for now, it's been 2 days since I traveled from the New Moon City and I want to discharge some stress.

Feng Baichuan: Of course, please follow me.

Jasmine: How come this place has the Phoenix's Essence?

Jasmine's voice surprised Jean.

Jean: The primordial divine beast?

Jasmine: Correct. Even though it's very faint, it is definitely without a doubt, the Phoenix's essence. How strange… Could it be that the phoenix had actually descended to this inferior plane before?

Jean: 'Inferior plane… It seems as if there's a longer peak I need to reach, heh. It will make this choice worthy of being followed after all.'

Jasmine: And the flame imprint on their foreheads, is also the mark that the phoenix bloodline bears! But this mark's color and the color that I know, are completely different.

Additionally, the mark of the phoenix bloodline is normally hidden; only when using the phoenix's power of fire would the mark fȯrċɨbŀƴ appear, but the people here all bear the mark of the phoenix and it's as if they can't hide it. In short, this is too weird!

Jean was brought to a clean hut from Feng Baichuan, who spoke.

Feng Baichuan: Please rest easy here. We are just a small clan hidden. Everything we have cannot compare with the outside world, so we can only inconvenience you.

Jean: The Clan Leader Feng doesn't need to worry, just having a safe place is enough for me. But… Are you guys perhaps the Phoenix Ruins' guardian clan?

Feng Baichuan froze, his pupils distinctly contracted slightly and his expression rapidly fluctuated as he thought about how to deny or avoid the question. But after a few breaths of time, his expression calmed down and answered.

Feng Baichuan: The guardian clan? We aren't worthy of that title. We are simply keeping away from the world while carrying this sin and curse.

We are just a humble clan who have to atone for their sins, generation after generation. Although I don't know where you learned that we have a relationship with the Phoenix, but it looks like… You came here in order to obtain the so-called 'treasure' that we're guarding, right?

Jean: No, I just came here for training, it was just fate that we met. I recognized your relationships with the Phoenix thanks to your marks on your foreheads, the only difference I know from the one I recognize is the color.
