Chapter 1107: Chapter 192: Child, I Am Your Father (4 Updates)

"What’s going on?" Mu Qingge’s voice unconsciously sank.

Back then, Hou was deliberately injured, and fled into the Middle Ancient Realm where she encountered him. She painstakingly spent countless elixirs to nurse him back to health until... no, until she finally healed his injuries... How come once he returned to the Demon Forest, he’s injured again?

A dark cloud loomed over Mu Qingge’s austere face.

The malice in her heart was both directed at Hou and those who had harmed him.

After all, Hou is also her patient. As a healer, seeing her patient, whom she had worked hard to rescue, once again not cherish themselves, leaving them in a state of near-collapse, is infuriating. As for those who injured her patient, it felt to her like a disrespect towards her hard work.

Alright... explaining so much, in reality, Mu Qingge’s anger is simply because she is protective!

Even though she has dissolved the contract with Hou, in her heart, she had long regarded him as her family. She believed Hou similarly considered her as family.

"You needn’t worry for now, he’s alright now, currently secluded healing. He specifically asked me to wait for you here, to inform you not to hastily see him. Even if you go, during his seclusion, you won’t get to see him." Yin Chen conveyed Hou’s message to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge ground her teeth, letting out a cold laugh, "Is he saying this to purposely avoid me coming to trouble him?"

Yin Chen lowered his gaze, leaving it unanswered.

"It’s interesting, does he think that once my anger dissipates, it’ll be all okay? Debts owed, even after ten or a hundred years, I won’t forget," Mu Qingge said fiercely, hammering her fist onto the table.

Though she was furious, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Hou’s not the type to pretend to be strong, if it were unbearable, he would only let Yin Chen come to request an elixir. Now Yin Chen did not mention the elixir, merely said Hou was in seclusion, it implied his injury was under control, and had improved.

"I gave him the Holy Level Elixir you left for me, when are you going to replenish it for me?" Yin Chen straightforwardly requested.

Mu Qingge was so angry that she almost vomited blood, adding another grudge against Hou. ’That damned guy!’ When Hou departed, she also gave him an identical life-saving elixir.

At this moment, for him to take Yin Chen’s elixir, it indicated that his injuries were indeed severe at the time.

Mu Qingge flipped her palm, revealing a porcelain bottle, and directly tossed it to Yin Chen. Yin Chen caught it and, without even inspecting it, carefully stowed it away.

"It’s really strange, isn’t he the Ancestor of Fierce Beasts? Why is he like a weakling, always getting beaten until half-dead?" Mu Qingge remarked irritably.

Yin Chen silently explained, "He said it was due to his own carelessness, he fell into a trap. When he emerges from seclusion, he’ll personally seek revenge."

"..." Mu Qingge was left speechless.

This fellow Hou, the foes who had previously led him into the Middle Ancient Realm, he was unwilling to reveal. Now again he’s injured, still unwilling to disclose who his enemies are.

"Qingge, are you planning to go to the Phoenix Clan?" Having finished discussing Hou’s matter, Yin Chen shifted the topic to Mu Qingge. The way he asked showed he had heard the conversation outside.

Mu Qingge nodded.

Yin Chen furrowed his brows and said, "The Phoenix Clan is extremely exclusive, they might expel you before you even get a chance to speak. That little phoenix incident has nothing to do with us, why bother getting involved?"

"It’s unrelated, but I promised her." Mu Qingge replied calmly.

Yin Chen’s brows tightened, but he said nothing further. Having been by Mu Qingge’s side for so long, he naturally knew that once Mu Qingge decided on something, it was challenging to change her mind.

"How about releasing that gluttonous snake?" Yin Chen suggested. However, he didn’t notice that when mentioning Bai Xi, his gaze unconsciously shifted aside.

His inadvertent action was seen by Mu Qingge. She revealed some doubt in her eyes but didn’t delve deeper, merely said, "Bai Xi needs to breakthrough, no need to disturb her."

"Oh, alright." Yin Chen simply replied.

Without further conversation, the next day, two people emerged from Mu Qingge’s room, surprising Chu Nian. Recognizing Yin Chen, she smiled, "Yin Chen? When did you arrive?"

Then, as her gaze shifted, she laughed, "Qingge said she was coming to the Demon Forest to find someone, that would be you, right."

"Not me." Yin Chen replied.

Mu Qingge laughed, "The person we’re looking for has some matters, temporarily can’t meet. Yin Chen came to meet with me."

"Oh, I see." Chu Nian nodded.

She looked at Mu Qingge, a hint of unease in her eyes, "Then... do you have time to accompany me to the Phoenix Territory?"

"Certainly." Mu Qingge responded with a smile.

Hearing Mu Qingge’s reply, Chu Nian felt relieved.

The Hundred Fragrance Collection is about a five to six-day journey from the Phoenix Territory. If there’s a flying mount, it would save a lot of time. However, Mu Qingge didn’t know exactly by what means Si Mo acquired the little Cai, but knowing it belonged to the Phoenix Bloodline, she decided against using it as a means of transport.

Well, to say in the Demon Forest, using the Beast Clan as mounts is an absolute taboo.

So, ultimately the three traveled by foot, continually advancing towards the Phoenix Territory. Along the way, perhaps due to Yin Chen’s pressure, or maybe due to good luck, they encountered no obstacles, and smoothly arrived at the outskirts of the Phoenix Territory.

"So many Phoenix Trees!" Standing at the outskirts of the Phoenix Territory, looking at the towering and straight Phoenix Trees, Chu Nian exclaimed in shock.

She stood there, instinctively placing her hands over her heart, murmuring, "I don’t know why, but I feel a sense of warmth here. I’ve never been here before, so why does it feel so familiar?"

Chu Nian’s words caused Mu Qingge and Yin Chen to exchange glances.

Yin Chen said, "Getting any closer will summon the Phoenix Clan."

"But we must enter." Mu Qingge asserted confidently.

While they spoke, Chu Nian had unknowingly stepped one foot into the Phoenix Territory. The moment her foot landed, the sound of wings flapping filled the Phoenix Tree Forest.

And atop the largest Phoenix Tree, as Chu Nian entered the Phoenix Territory, the current Phoenix Emperor suddenly opened its eyes, releasing a piercing brilliance.

He vanished from his original position in the next instant.

"Stop! Who dares to trespass into the Phoenix Clan’s territory?" Voices echoed with reprimand from the Phoenix Tree Forest.

Guards of the Phoenix Clan, Simurgh Guards descended from the skies. Dressed in azure armor, with light green feathers, they appeared exceptionally graceful and spirited.

Holding spears in their hands, they appeared before Chu Nian, blocking her path.

Chu Nian hesitated, ready to withdraw her foot, when a powerful voice sounded from afar, "Child, you’ve finally returned! Father finally has waited for your return!"
