Chapter 1461 - 521: Savior
Upon hearing that voice, the Phoenix Couple was startled.
Despite the years that had passed, the couple would never forget this voice until their death.
Wasn’t it the same Human Clan girl who had stolen their Phoenix Egg years ago?
But looking out the window, they saw nothing but a sea of ancient woods.
"Fire Phoenix, am I missing our child too much and started to hear things?"
Ice Phoenix said nervously.
"I heard it too, alas, we both miss the child too much and started to hear things. Don’t worry, we’ve collected twenty Water Bright Stones, more than enough to surpass the third brother. Once Father successfully ascends from seclusion, I’ll take you to Qing Province to search for the child, fulfilling our wish of the past few years."
Fire Phoenix assumed they had misheard, and gently comforted his beloved wife.
After all, even if that Human Clan girl did find her way to the Ancient Nine Provinces, she surely couldn’t enter Jiunie Mountain.
The Ancient Wood Forest outside Jiunie Mountain is cloaked in the mysteries of an array. Even a Small Divine Power Realm master couldn’t break through.
"You two, I’m afraid your plans will come to nothing, you won’t win the Clan Leader struggle this time."
The strange voice echoed once more, clearly heard by the Phoenix Couple this time.
"Who? Who’s there playing tricks?"
Fire Phoenix instinctively shielded his wife, full of caution.
A light, floating spiritual body drifted in through the window.
To ensure the couple could see her more clearly, Ye Lingyue had to channel the Power of Heaven and Earth, making a faint figure appear before them.
Although Ye Lingyue’s appearance had changed significantly over the years, her spirited eyes were unmistakable to the Phoenix Couple.
Upon seeing Ye Lingyue, Ice Phoenix became emotional, rushing forward to confront her.
However, she lunged into thin air, nearly falling to the ground.
"It’s you, the Human Clan who stole my child, give me back my child."
"How dare you trespass in Jiunie Mountain, you’re courting death."
Fire Phoenix, seeing the "enemy" who took his child, eyes blazing with anger, was ready to confront Ye Lingyue.
"Both of you, calm down. I’ve come today to tell you about Little Wuya’s whereabouts."
Facing the couple, Ye Lingyue felt a headache coming on and decided to cut to the chase, dropping her trump card.
"What is this nonsense about crows and ducks? Stop talking in circles. Last time you had help and got lucky, this time I want to see who can save you." Fire Phoenix, hot-tempered as always, gathered an impressive Power of Reincarnation Fire around him, the explosiveness of which could be formidable.
"Wait, take a look at this first!"
Ye Lingyue, anxious, activated her Divine Sense, and took something out from Hong Meng Heaven.
They were some fragments, and seeing them, Ice Phoenix couldn’t help but cry out.
These were pieces of an eggshell, with patterns that matched those of a Phoenix Bird Egg.
These were the eggshells left behind by Little Zhiyo after hatching Little Wuya.
Every Phoenix Bird Egg’s shell is unique, and because Little Wuya was poisoned back then, its eggshell’s color was especially distinctive.
"Hatched, my child... it’s really still alive?"
Ice Phoenix held those pieces, tears streaming down her face.
Over the years, she had missed her Little Phoenix day and night, shedding countless tears for it. But today, these were tears of joy.
"Our child really isn’t dead? Impossible, it was gravely poisoned; even if a Divine Doctor lived, it couldn’t have been saved. Since you claim our child lives, where is it, and why are you here alone?" Fire Phoenix was delighted but also somewhat skeptical.
Having experienced Ye Lingyue’s cunning, he was quite distrustful of her.
"Believe it or not, it’s just outside Jiunie Mountain. It won’t be long before it arrives here. I came ahead to confirm your whereabouts. But since you don’t trust me, I might as well send her back." Ye Lingyue was quite displeased with Fire Phoenix’s attitude.
This couple treated her as a villain without acknowledging it was she who saved Little Wuya.
If not for her help using Cauldron Breath, Little Wuya may have turned into a dead egg long ago.
"No, we wish to see it. Young lady, Fire Phoenix just has a fiery temper. We miss our child... I dream of it all the time. Is it a boy or a girl, and has it been well all these years?"
Ice Phoenix said emotionally.
"Little Wuya is a small phoenix, capable of taking human form now, and looks quite pretty. She’s about this tall."
Ye Lingyue had a decent impression of Ice Phoenix, perhaps because she and Little Wuya bore some resemblance.
"Fire Phoenix, did you hear that, it’s a baby girl, we finally have a daughter."
Ice Phoenix was eager to see Little Wuya.
"Little Wuya? You gave my daughter such a silly name?"
Fire Phoenix, upon hearing his precious daughter’s name being likened to "crow," felt a vein throb on his forehead, resisting the urge to kick this Human Clan member out of Jiunie Mountain.
"What a name, don’t you know ’a humble name allows easier survival’? Besides, when Little Wuya was born, it indeed resembled a scraggly crow."
Ye Lingyue retorted, unyielding.
Little Wuya’s name had been given by Little Zhiyo, and considering Little Zhiyo’s linguistic skill at the time, it was far better than calling her something like "Dog Egg" or "Second Dog."
"Anyway, you saved Little Wuya, and you’re a benefactor to our family. Benefactor, please accept our couple’s bow."
Ice Phoenix tugged on Fire Phoenix, ready to bow to Ye Lingyue.
Though Fire Phoenix disliked the Human Clan, considering Ye Lingyue saved his daughter, it was enough to let bygones be bygones.
"Hold on, Little Wuya is my good sister, making you technically my elders. I saved her out of genuine affection, which has nothing to do with the Phoenix Clan. Stand up, stop being so ceremonious, I have something even more important to tell you, relating to the Water Bright Stone."
Ye Lingyue didn’t want to take advantage of this pitiable couple.
Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix were taken aback; the matter of the Water Bright Stone concerned the Phoenix Clan leader’s inheritance. How did Ye Lingyue, an outsider, know about it?
When Ye Lingyue recounted the entire situation, especially mentioning how Rui had used the Water Spirit Array in Fang Ah County to steal the Water Spirit, Fire Phoenix was moved.
"Is this true? That brat Rui actually did something so outrageous!"
