Chapter 525 Chapter 69 Extra (End)
Jiuyao did not agree immediately.
The atmosphere grew increasingly silent.
Feng Huai'an was also a little nervous, observing the young man in front of him without making a sound.
Suddenly, Jiuyao looked up at Feng Huai'an and asked, "Then why was Feng Ji'an imprisoned?"
Feng Huai'an was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
He knew that if Jiuyao asked this question, then everything was settled.
That means he listened.
He looked at Jiuyao, "Because Xiao Liu wants to propose marriage."
The boy opposite him froze for a moment, then his face quickly turned red.
"He, he, he..."
Jiuyao stammered for a long time, repeating a single word over and over again, before falling silent like a firecracker that had gone flat.
Feng Huai'an didn't say it outright, but both of them knew who the person he was proposing marriage to was.
But Jiuyao was all alone, with no ties or worries.
Feng Ji'an, however, was different.
He bit his lip, suddenly regretting his previous bad attitude towards those old guys from the Phoenix Clan.
I should have been more polite to them.
I was so angry I almost fainted.
Xiao Jiu tugged at her fingers, already wondering if it was her fault. She had been too rude to those old guys from the Phoenix Clan before, which was why they disagreed.
Thinking this, Xiao Jiu looked up at Feng Huai'an in front of her and hesitated before asking, "Is it because they don't like me?"
Feng Huai'an was taken aback, then shook his head.
His face was gentle, and his smile was tender. "That's not the case; it's our fault."
He relaxed as well. "Young friend, you are Qiongqi, so you should know some things about ancient times, right?"
Jiuyao nodded. Although his memories were incomplete, they were mentioned in the inherited memories.
Feng Huai'an then asked, "Do you know how the Phoenix Clan has survived to this day since the ancient times when all the gods fell?"
Jiuyao shook his head.
"The Phoenix Princess who married Fox Lord Shen Ye was the last woman from our Phoenix Clan to marry outside the clan."
"Since then, the Phoenix Clan has only allowed intermarriage within the clan, striving to produce children with the strongest bloodline. Even so, the Phoenix Clan almost went extinct in ancient times. If it weren't for the Phoenix Clan's method of rebirth, the Phoenix Clan would not have survived to this day."
"Does my explanation make sense to you, young friend?"
Nine Luminaries remained silent.
After a long silence, he finally looked up at the young man before him, his voice trembling slightly, "So, you want him to marry someone else?"
Jiuyao's gaze held a hint of inquiry, yet a hint of anger flickered in his light golden eyes.
It seemed that as long as Feng Huai'an nodded, he could turn the Phoenix Clan upside down.
Feng Huai'an shook his head. "It was like that before, but it's not like that now."
"It's because the elders of the clan are too conservative. Now that the calamity has passed, the Phoenix Clan naturally doesn't need such methods to protect itself."
"During the past thousand years of your tribulations, under the guidance of myself and several elders, there have been a few instances in your clan where people have formed marriage alliances with other clans."
"Although it is difficult to change everyone's mind overnight, things always tend to move in a positive direction."
Jiuyao pursed his lips, wanting to ask something more, but then looked dejected.
Seeing Jiu Yao's listless appearance, no longer showing any arrogance, Feng Huai'an couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Moreover, nowadays, no one in the Phoenix Clan dares to discipline Xiao Liu anymore."
Not to mention the Phoenix Clan, once Xiao Liu is reborn from the ashes, apart from that Demon King and the Divine Lord, I'm afraid no one will be able to rival him.
Jiuyao suddenly looked up and spoke instinctively.
"why?"
The boy looked bewildered, while Feng Huai'an was lost in memories.
"Because, like that demon king, he's a madman!"
The Shangqing Realm was stained red with blood, blood flowed like rivers, and heads rolled everywhere.
The two men, their expressions cold and stern, joined forces and ravaged the entire Shangqing Realm.
No matter what kind of magic array, talisman, or magical artifact it was, no one could stop the two of them.
He could only watch as the two went mad.
Outside the barrier of the Heavenly Punishment Platform, he watched as the two turned the Azure Distant Immortal Lord into a blood-dripping weapon.
He was sacrificed with the flying guillotine and hung on the Heavenly Execution Platform.
He watched them, lucid yet frenzied, activate the array, defying the heavens!
The stunningly beautiful demon king, without batting an eye, gouged out one of his own eyes and with a single slash, lost all six of his own tails.
This ruthlessness is unmatched!
Even knowing that this was going against the will of heaven and that the hope was slim, the two still went ahead without hesitation.
The formation outside the Heavenly Punishment Platform has remained intact for a thousand years.
As if on purpose, that Qingyuan Immortal Lord was suspended for a thousand years without dying.
Perhaps they wanted to see these people fail, to see them lose their way in the mortal world.
But in the end, he was destined to be disappointed.
On the day their souls returned to their places, Qingyuan struggled for only half a day before taking his last breath.
Their souls and spirits dissipate, and they are no longer subject to reincarnation.
This can also be considered a form of karmic retribution.
Feng Huai'an sighed softly.
Jiuyao remained silent.
He had a vague feeling that this wasn't a good thing.
Feng Huai'an didn't want to say anything more. He clasped his hands together, looked at Jiu Yao, and asked gently, "Then are you willing to wait for Xiao Liu to come back?"
Jiuyao lowered his eyes and nodded after a long while.
Feng Huai'an was very happy and got up to lead Jiu Yao to Feng Ji'an's courtyard.
----
The phoenix tree that was broken by the Nine Luminaries has recovered after a thousand years and is now even better than it was a thousand years ago.
Compared to the other half, the broken half appears somewhat sparse.
For the past few years, Jiuyao has been staying in the courtyard waiting for Feng Ji'an to come out of the ancestral land.
The only person who would come to talk to him was Feng Huai'an.
He said that Feng Ji'an's favorite tree since childhood was the sycamore tree, and he would sleep in the tree every day.
When they were kids, they used to joke that Feng Ji'an would spend his whole life with this tree when he grew up.
Jiuyao pondered for a moment, and it seemed that his first meeting with Feng Ji'an was under this tree.
Feng Ji'an was probably sleeping in the tree at that time.
Suddenly, a calamity struck, breaking half of the tree he had cherished for so many years.
Was he angry at the time?
Jiuyao lay on a tree branch, raising his hand to block out the sunlight, suddenly wanting to know the answer to this question.
But the time it takes for a phoenix to rise from the ashes is uncertain.
It can take anywhere from three to five years to several decades.
I used to think that a few hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye, but now I feel that the days are a bit hard to endure.
It wasn't because he missed Feng Ji'an.
Jiuyao placed his hand over his eyes.
The afternoon breeze and sunshine were particularly soothing today.
It was as if he was having a beautiful dream.
Everyone is fine.
The dead fox's eyes and tail were unharmed.
The adult still sits high on the altar, untouched by the suffering of reincarnation.
Feng Ji'an remained unreliable, spending his days idly searching the world for unusual and exotic items.
Its beautiful feathers were completely undamaged.
The dream was so beautiful that Jiuyao felt a little lost when he woke up.
It was already dark. Jiuyao rubbed his eyes, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.
and many more!
bed? !
Wasn't he sleeping in a tree?
A strong sense of uncertainty filled the boy's heart, and he tried his best to calm himself down.
Even from the bedside to the door, her pace quickened, eventually turning into a jog.
He flung open the door, eagerly anticipating the person he hadn't seen in so long.
Under the cool moonlight, Feng Huai'an was playing chess with himself.
Hearing the sound, he turned his head and looked over. "Awake?"
Her features were cool and aloof, her temperament gentle, and her voice mild.
It was the same familiar sight I'd seen before, but now it stung.
Disappointment, like a twisted vine, tightly entwined Jiu Yao's heart.
The joyful expression on his face froze, his raised eyebrows quickly lowered, and he returned to his usual calm.
He mumbled a reply, "Mmm."
Feng Huai'an raised an eyebrow, clearly sensing the child's disappointment, and wanted to say something.
But then, from the other end of the corridor, a figure slowly approached.
Finally, it stopped beside Jiuyao, whose head was hanging down.
The voice trembled.
"Xiao Jiu, the sunset flowers are blooming, will you marry me?"
Jiuyao suddenly looked up.
The flame-like colors were reflected in my eyes, a whole expanse of brilliant hues.
Sunset flowers.
Flowers and plants used by the Phoenix Clan for courtship.
Feng Ji'an stood in front of Jiu Yao with a serious and tense expression. When he saw the person look up, his body suddenly stiffened.
My hand holding the sunset flowers trembled, and I almost dropped them.
Seeing Feng Ji'an's tense expression, Jiu Yao suddenly felt less nervous.
He took the best-blooming sunset flower, which was half his height, and stood on tiptoe to kiss Feng Ji'an's lips.
"I can't ask for it."
