Chapter 578 The Elder Doesn't Want to Take Care of the Child 20
Irrick glanced at the little guy's disappointed expression, his silver eyes softening, and he casually placed his large hand on the little guy's head and rubbed it: "Let bygones be bygones, don't think about it so much."
There was silence beside him for a while, then suddenly, Agavan whispered, "You can't even get through this yourself, why... are you making things difficult for me..."
The tall man in white stiffened slightly. Agavin continued, "Did you come to the Phoenix Clan this time to visit the young master's two pet eggs?"
All the dragons in the dragon race know that 150 years ago, their young master gave his two pet phoenix eggs to the then-Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Clan.
"Have they already hatched?"
"Ah."
Irrick's expression returned to calm. In the elegant building in front of him, he sensed a familiar presence, faint yet still exciting.
Agavon sensed it too; the boy's eyes reddened, and when he looked up, he saw someone slowly walking towards him from the opposite side.
A white-clad man with an air of nobility curled his lips into a devilish smile, his purple eyes fixed on the two uninvited guests with unwavering eyes: "Are you two lost?" His smile was forced and insincere.
"No," said Irrick, "I've come to visit your sleeping Lord Yuefeng." He got straight to the point, not wanting to waste any more words.
Xi Yan had guessed as much and showed no surprise. He simply asked, "Do you have a way to solve the problem of the Phoenix Lord's coma?"
The time capsule belonged to the former young master of the Dragon Clan. Perhaps the problems that Princess Yuefeng is currently facing really require the Dragon Clan to solve them personally.
“Yes.” In truth, Irik was unsure, but he remained confident on the surface because he knew that if he didn’t say so, the Phoenix Clan would not allow them to get close to Yue Fengzhu, and would not allow them to… get close to the time capsule that had become a transparent solid.
Hope ignited in Xi Yan's eyes, but he said, "This matter is of great importance and must be approved by our clan's Phoenix Lord Ye."
With the new Phoenix Lord in office, all major matters concerning the Phoenix Clan must first be approved by him.
Irike expressed his understanding, and Xi Yan politely led them to their seats in the main hall before flashing away to ask Ye for his answer.
At this moment, the young master had already received countless spirit beasts from various races who came to worship, and was now resting beside Zhao Zhao.
He deliberately leaned back casually in the chair, waiting for a while but did not receive a reprimand from the boy beside him.
His dark eyes widened slightly in surprise, and then he heard Xi Yan's respectful voice in his ear.
"Phoenix Lord, our two guests from the Dragon Clan have a way to awaken the sleeping Young Master Yue. What do you think?"
Ye suddenly looked up, but his gaze instinctively fell on the eyes Zhao Zhao was looking at.
The expectation in those emerald green eyes was something he couldn't refuse, so he casually said, "Let them do it!" His tone was heavy, as if the one about to wake up was not his brother, but his enemy.
Xi Yan chuckled, glancing helplessly at the young master who was throwing another tantrum: "I'll go and relay the message right away."
Zhao Zhao remained silent and stood up with him, when suddenly she felt her wide sleeves being tugged.
Turning his head, the boy's eyes were dark and innocent: "What are you going to do? Aren't you going to stay with me?" At the same time, he almost ground his back teeth to powder.
Zhao Zhao said softly, "I have something to do."
"Stay with me." He said those two words with emphasis, his tone heavy, the boy's possessiveness kicking in again: "Yue doesn't need you now, but I do."
“I’m very emotionally unstable right now. If you’re not here, I can’t guarantee what I might do,” he threatened.
Zhao Zhao looked helpless, like watching a child throw a tantrum. If Ye were still the young master, Zhao Zhao might teach him a lesson and see if he would dare to threaten him again.
But now, as the dignified Phoenix Lord, Zhao Zhao needed someone to pledge allegiance to, so he compromised and said, "Alright."
Ye laughed, his temper flaring up quickly but also dissipating just as fast. He instinctively reached out to affectionately put his arm around Zhao Zhao's arm, but Zhao Zhao dodged, respectfully nodded to him, and retreated behind him as a shadow.
Ye:.......
During the few hours he spent receiving the foreign worshippers, Ye was extremely bored and began to feel restless. He couldn't help but take out the summoning stone that Zhao Zhao had given him and play with it.
This was a unique birthday gift, and while Yue was unconscious, he asked Zhao Zhao for the stone.
But.....
Ye's eyes were fierce. Once he gave it to Yue, it was his stone. Even if Yue woke up, she wouldn't be able to take it away from him.
When Ye caught a glimpse of the quiet boy accompanying him out of the corner of his eye, he felt much more at ease.
The argument from last night is in the past; he's no longer angry, but he still feels a bit aggrieved when he thinks about it.
Then, under Zhao Zhao's bewildered gaze, she scoffed, "Hmph!"
Zhao Zhao: ......
After nearly fifty years of hard work, Ye is now very obedient to him. Although he is still domineering and arrogant, it's not a big problem.
Now, we just need to wait for Yue to wake up. After that, the focus of our mission will be on the little cub in my memory who loved to cry.
Zhao Zhao suddenly felt that her life was miserable. Her ears had been bothered by the noise of the firecracker Ye for fifty years. Just when he was finally growing up and becoming sensible, she was about to be attacked by the cries of the cub.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
As if on cue, Zhao Zhao seemed to hear a familiar voice.
Ye jumped up from his seat, his eyes flashing fiercely towards the source of the sound.
Suddenly, a golden-red phoenix chick stumbled and flew in from mid-air. The chick opened its beak and cried out, its golden-red eyes staring straight at Zhao Zhao as it swooped down towards him.
Because his vision was only focused on Zhaozhao, he overlooked something else important: Ye, who was wary of him.
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, a pair of long, slender hands gripped Yue's long neck, and she let out a long, painful cry. Before her stood Ye, whose eyes were deep and unfathomable.
"Ahhhh! Lord Ye, please stop!"
"Phoenix Lord Yue has finally woken up, but! Phoenix Lord Ye, are you sure you've got the way you're welcoming her wrong!"
"Ye! Stop!"
The guests were excitedly pushed to the other side by the Phoenix Clan members. Their expressions ranged from excitement to surprise and fear as they swarmed forward in a chaotic manner, creating a momentary commotion.
Zhao Zhao pushed her way forward with a cold face and saw that the cub Yue in her beast form was being held tightly in Ye's hand and he wouldn't let go no matter what.
Seeing that Yue was suffocating and her eyes were rolling back, Zhao Zhao subconsciously raised her hand and slapped Ye across the face.
The scene fell silent instantly. Ye loosened his grip and looked at Zhao Zhao in disbelief. Yue took the opportunity to hide in Zhao Zhao's arms and cried pitifully.
"You actually hit me for him! You haven't hit me in fifty years, and now you hit me the moment he wakes up?!"
"Zhaozhao, Zhaozhao, I missed you so much! I'm so glad I can see you alive again, waaaaaah!"
The sounds of arguing and crying filled the air. Zhao Zhao casually ruffled Yue's hair to comfort her, then looked at Ye with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, Phoenix Lord."
“I was too radical, and I’m willing to accept the punishment.”
Ye's cheek was flushed, and her eyes seemed to be glistening with tears: "Who wants to punish you!"
Give me that whining, stinky bird!
