Chapter 1067 [Ancient Juechen 8]
After going through untold hardships, Wu Xi finally found a paradise. The place is picturesque with beautiful mountains and clear waters, just like a fairyland. Wu Xi decided to stay with Feng Yan here for the rest of his life, away from the hustle and bustle, and live a peaceful life.
However, the good times did not last long, as the people of Nanhai City discovered the two's tracks through some unknown means. Like hungry wolves, they quickly broke through the barrier set by Wu Xi and approached Feng Yan, attempting to seize her soul.
At this critical moment, Bai Jue arrived in time like a god sent from heaven and saved Feng Yan and Wu Xi. Wu Xi knew that he had made a big mistake and felt guilty. Just when Bai Jue was about to kill Wu Xi, Shang Gu suddenly appeared and stopped Bai Jue.
Shang Gu begged Bai Jue to let Wu Xi and Feng Yan go, as she believed that they truly loved each other and should not be subjected to such cruel punishment. However, Bai Jue always enforced the law strictly and would never tolerate any violation of the rules. He was determined not to let the two go and believed that they must be severely punished to set things right.
Feng Yan was extremely anxious when she saw Wu Xi's life hanging by a thread. She stepped forward and was willing to take all the blame, just asking Bai Jue to let Wu Xi go. She even expressed her willingness to hand over her soul to Bai Jue and return to the Feng Clan with the two of them to accept the due punishment.
Seeing this, Youyou could not help but scold Feng Yan angrily: "Feng Yan, do you know that as the emperor of the Phoenix Clan, you have signed a contract with the Lord God since birth, and you are destined to become the Lord God's divine beast! Over the years, the Phoenix Clan has taken good care of you and provided you with food and clothing, but what about you? You are so ashamed of the Phoenix Clan!"
Feng Yan burst into tears and choked up as she said, "I'm sorry, but Wu Xi and I are truly in love. I really can't give up this relationship. I don't want to forget him..."
Wu Xi also quickly said: "If you want to blame someone, blame me. It's all my fault. I got Feng Yan into trouble. Don't blame her."
Shang Gu said solemnly: "Since you two truly love each other, I will grant your wish. I will choose among other mythical beasts."
Seeing that Shanggu totally ignored her explanation, Youyou felt helpless but knew that saying more was useless, so she gently shook her head, stopped arguing, and turned to walk to Bai Jue.
Seeing this, Bai Jue gently touched Youyou's hair and comforted her, "Since Shanggu has already said so, we don't have to force it. However, I can stop caring about the two of you, but you will have to bear all the consequences. And Shanggu will also re-select a suitable beast from the Phoenix Clan."
Feng Yan and Wu Xi looked at each other and said in unison: "Thank you, God, for your help!"
Afterwards, the three of them returned to the Phoenix Clan together. Bai Jue explained to Feng Yun the idea of Shang Gu to re-select the divine beast, and Feng Yun expressed his understanding and willingness to cooperate. He immediately ordered all the younger generations with higher qualifications in the clan to come out and gather.
Soon, a group of young phoenixes flew to the square, their feathers were colorful and very beautiful. Among them were the red phoenix Feng Yi, the green phoenix Feng Qin, the yellow phoenix Feng Yu, the white phoenix Feng Zhi, the black phoenix Feng Yue, and the purple phoenix Feng Xue.
Feng Yun introduced the more outstanding young people in the tribe to Shang Gu one by one: "Lord God, Godly Lord, and Little Prince, these six are the best among the younger generation of our Phoenix Clan! Although they are not as brilliant as the Phoenix Emperor, they are also rare talents."
Shang Gu nodded slightly, and glanced at the six juniors, and saw that each of them was tall and handsome, and they were indeed outstanding. However, Shang Gu still couldn't pick out a particularly outstanding one, and he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
At this moment, a loud quarrel suddenly came over, breaking the original tranquility. Shanggu frowned slightly, and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see two figures arguing not far away.
"You, a colorful, mixed-haired phoenix, want to join in the fun. I think you have nothing better to do!" A sharp female voice sounded, full of contempt and disdain.
"Sister, I know I was wrong, I just wanted to come and take a look..." The other voice sounded a little aggrieved, as if begging.
Shang Gu looked closely and saw that it was a colorful phoenix being scolded by a maid. The feathers of the colorful phoenix were gorgeous and dazzling like a rainbow, but at this moment her head was lowered, which made her look a little dull.
"Get out of here! What qualifications do you, a lowly phoenix, have to show up here? If you disturb the gods and the others, you will lose your life! Go and clean up the back mountain!" The maid's voice became increasingly harsh and merciless.
The Five-Colored Phoenix's body trembled slightly, as if it wanted to argue, but in the end it turned around silently and prepared to leave.
"Stop!" Shang Gu suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud, but it carried a kind of majesty that could not be ignored, "Do you Phoenix people still have hierarchy and respect?"
"Lord God, you don't know! In our Phoenix clan, phoenixes with a single color do cultivate faster. But phoenixes like Wuhuan, which have too many and too messy colors, not only cultivate slowly, but also have very limited abilities. They can only do rough work like chores, and are simply incapable of other important things!" Feng Yun explained helplessly.
Shang Gu heard this and looked at Wu Huan thoughtfully, then asked, "Your name is Wu Huan, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Huan immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, I am Wu Huan."
Shang Gu nodded slightly, and then said: "Then, Wuhuan, are you willing to become my divine beast and enter my pilgrimage temple?"
Wu Huan was overjoyed when she heard this. She was so excited that her voice trembled a little: "Are you serious about what your highness said?"
Shang Gu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and answered affirmatively: "Of course it is true."
After receiving a positive answer, Wu Huan said without hesitation: "Xiao Xian is willing!"
However, Feng Yun on the side quickly interrupted and said, "Lord God, you... Wuhuan is just a mixed-feather phoenix after all, and it is really difficult for her to be your divine beast!"
Shang Gu turned to look at Feng Yun, his eyes revealing a hint of majesty, and said slowly: "I took Wu Huan as my divine beast not because of her origin, but because of her character and potential. I hope that the Phoenix Clan will abandon the concept of judging people by their origin in the future, and give every phoenix equal opportunities and treatment."
"Your Majesty, this..." Feng Yun looked at Bai Jue in astonishment, seeming a little surprised by his decision.
Bai Jue said expressionlessly: "Since the Lord God has chosen Wuhuan, Wuhuan will be the Lord God's sacred beast from now on." His voice was calm and firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Feng Yun nodded helplessly, then turned to look at Youyou, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes, and said: "Your Highness, you see, these people in our Feng clan are all the best in the clan, how about you choose one?"
Youyou looked at the six phoenixes hesitantly. They were all very beautiful, with their feathers shining with colorful light, which was eye-catching.
Seeing this, Bai Jue asked softly, "Sangsang, what do you think? How about picking one?"
Youyou raised her head in surprise, looked at Bai Jue, and asked, "Ah, can I choose one too?"
Bai Jue smiled slightly and said, "Of course, little prince."
After getting Bai Jue's affirmation, Youyou mustered up the courage, walked up to the six phoenixes, and said, "Who among you is willing to follow me? I hope you will do it voluntarily."
Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of nature. When the six phoenixes heard her words, they all looked at her in surprise, as if they had not expected her to ask such a question.
After a while, one of the purple phoenixes and one of the black phoenixes looked at each other, then stood up at the same time and said, "We two sisters are willing to follow His Highness."
Youyou looked at the two phoenixes and couldn't help feeling happy. She thought the two phoenixes were very beautiful and looked very spiritual.
"Elder Feng, you won't blame me for taking both of them as my own, right?" Youyou looked worried, staring at Fengyun, feeling a little uneasy. After all, these were two phoenixes! She was worried that Fengyun would be unhappy if she took two of them away at once.
"Of course not." Feng Yun smiled slightly and replied in a gentle tone, "Feng Xue and Feng Yue are lucky to be able to follow the young prince."
Hearing Feng Yun say this, Youyou finally felt relieved. She turned to look at Feng Xue and Feng Yue, and said gently, "Feng Xue, Feng Yue, you two will live with me in Changyuan Palace from now on."
Feng Xue and Feng Yue looked at each other, with delighted smiles on their faces, and answered in unison: "Yes, little prince!"
Shang Gu, who was standing by, looked at Zi Feng and Hei Feng beside You You, and after a moment of silence, she did not express any opinion. Anyway, she had already accepted Wu Huan, and she did not think there was anything wrong with You You accepting Feng Xue and Feng Yue.
