Chapter 177 - Order of the Phoenix

"I trained under Lord Phoenix God, and Hengkong only asked that I produce him one child, and he would sever any connection that we had from that moment, so I agreed since he was the successor of the Divine Phoenix Sect, after that life was peaceful… until Xue'er was born..."

Feng Xue'er asked her innocently "I do not understand what you are saying…"

Yun Long face palmed since Feng Jianxue seemed to have a deficiency when it came to her personality, he was analysing her carefully this whole time, but it seemed that she did not have the ability to lie, and was a bit of an airhead… no wonder she got swindled by Feng Hengkong in the past, she practically offered herself up to be taken…

"En… you are young after all, it would make less sense if you did understand, but you need to hear the truth my dear"

"The main point is, it is like your Big Brother previously said, since he promised to separate our connection, the only remaining connection was you, I guess he had plans to do something about that but my death was a blessing in disguise for him, since he does not anyone to trump his position in your heart Xue'er" Feng Jianxue explained as she patted her daughters head.

At this point, the previous silent Phoenix God decided to talk once more "Jianxue… when you disappeared in the past, I was enraged when Hengkong told me what had occurred, so I had viewed his memories to view what had truly happened"

Hearing the might voice once more, Feng Jianxue hurriedly kneeled before her saviour and master "Jianxue is sorry to live up to your expectations Lord Phoenix God…"

"Un… you do not need to worry, you did not fail anything my dear, although I was angry at the time, but I had received a message from the other fragment, so I just awaited your return"

'Other fragment… I see… I forgot that they could communicate with each other… did Huang'er tell this Spirit Fragment about me?'

"Hn… Yun Long, at that time when I was confused, she told me that the one that had saved Jianxue was you, how she knew about such things… you will have to ask her in the future…" The Phoenix fragment explained when she saw his enlightened face.

"Now back to Jianxue, I should explain to you… when I read his memories, I had learnt that Hengkong had been led astray by his Empress to dispose of you, going by the fact that you had humiliated him after all he had done for you, and the threat you pose as the 'unworthy low-breed' successor of the Phoenix God… had it not been for the fact I had known you were alive, I would have cursed his entire family to suffer from my wrath" the Phoenix said as her usual calm voice fluctuated as she talked about this 'Empress'

Yun Long heard what happened from the phoenix as his aura fluctuated, his innate suppression leaked within the surroundings as his pupils transformed once more, his killing intent for Feng Hengkong almost appeared physically, as Xue'er was trembling from the big change she witnessed from her gentle big brother.

Feng Jianxue also felt slightly flustered from his reaction, but she just went over to him and held his hands, as her gentle touch awoke him from his temporary rage.

'Hmm… seems like I have some anger issues… ignoring that… why did I react as such even though I just met this woman…'

He just sent an apologetic smile to her and patted Xue'er on her head for scaring her.

"I see… it would make sense for her to want me out the way… even though he has plenty of women, none are a threat to her… how has she treated Xue'er this whole time?" Feng Jianxue asked as she cared little for that woman.

"Hmm… I am unsure, I am nearing my end… so I only come out of seclusion for Xue'er, since she is the successor most eligible to succeed me" the Phoenix said once more.

"En… I hope my daughter will not fail you as I did Lord Phoenix God… since I failed you, it is only right that she will be the one to rectify my failure and accomplish your wish" Feng Jianxue said as she kowtowed to the Lord Phoenix God for the enormous favour she had granted both herself and her daughter.

"Hn… you did not fail me my dear… and you will be heading to the other legacy to become the successor, your husband over there will take you to that place once you leave here" the Phoenix explained as she stunned them both with her speech.

"Husband?" Yun Long and Feng Jianxue asked at the same time.

"Mommy will also be Big Brother's wife? Waaa… since Lord Phoenix God said so, mother has too!" Feng Xue'er said as she recovered from her fear, bouncing around the shocked duo.

Yun Long pinched her face as he asked her "Girl, why are you so accepting of sharing me with your mother… I will not lie to you that I am not a big bad wolf that does such things… but me doing one thing and you accepting it is another…"

"Uh… you said that if I become your wife… I will be with you forever! That means if mommy becomes your wife then… then we will all be together forever! Waaa, and then we can go to the snow lands you said and have fun forever!" Feng Xue'er said as she entered her own little dreamland.

Even the Phoenix God was surprised by how pure this little girl was, as Yun Long already activated mofu-mofu time as he then asked her "Huang'er… what is the meaning of this?"

He could already sense the teasing intent within her order to Jianxue and asked her what was going on… even though he did not mind he just wanted some clarity.

"Hn… when you meet your original Huang'er, all will be revealed… Yun Long…" the Phoenix fragment said as she disappeared into seclusion once more.

Silence prevailed the area, as Yun Long just looked towards Feng Jianxue and looked into her eyes seriously as he asked… "So, what are your thoughts… Jianxue"

She just shook her head "Since Lord Phoenix God has requested this, then it is what I shall follow… as my saviour and the ancestor of our sect, where can I refuse her request… my only request is that you let me accompany Xue'er in the times when you leave, I would rather stay with her than follow you, I will just wait here with her until you return" she requested as she smiled at the interaction between Yun Long and her daughter.

"En… you have your own free will after all, all your thought process confuses me, that matters not, but I will talk to you more about that in the future, for now let us accomplish the most important thing, which is the wish that Xue'er hopes to see come the most"

Yun Long summoned Vimana: Ark, and took them to the Snow Song Realm as he placed two Divine Concealing Amulet on their fair necks.

"Wow! Big Brother! Look… it is white… all over the place!" Feng Xue'er laughed as she tumbled around in the snow.

Yun Long had taken them to the Netherfrost Lake, as he allowed Feng Xue'er to accompany her mother as he walked over to the edge of the lake as he looked into a specific direction.

Although he could not see all those kilometres down, he knew exactly where his precious was sleeping, as he whispered absent-mindedly "Bing'er… you will not have to wait longer… your husband will free you soon…"

Since the place was silent, both Jianxue and Xue'er heard him as they approached him, his eyes did not hide the longing within them, as Jianxue just held his hands and Xue'er pulled his jumper.

"Big Brother… why are you sad?" she asked as his sad expression caused her to pout.

Pinching her cheeks, he just laughed as he said "Your sister is down there… I could go free her, but I will do that once I settle your mother and one other sister's matter" he said as he played with her properly for a few hours in the snow.

"Thank you, Big Brother! Xue'er hopes you keep your promise! We will live in the snow together forever… okay?" she asked with a bright smile that ruined her snow beard.

"Of course, Xue'er…" he said with a smile, as he thought 'Forgive me Xue'er… but in the future, you will understand with how many sisters you have, I can accompany you forever, but not all the time…'

Yun Long then took her back to the Phoenix Perching Valley, as he took Feng Jianxue to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range after a tearful parting, as he had a nice chat with the Patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, and allowed Jianxue to take the trial to become the successor or the Phoenix, setting plans to return in a month to see the results, as he returned to Lan Feng and Lan Xueruo.
