Chapter 563 The Elder Doesn't Want to Take Care of the Child 5
The Phoenix Queen watched the interaction of the people below with a blank expression. Only when Yue stopped crying and Ye stopped making a fuss did she begin to speak.
"Zhao Zhao."
"Phoenix Master".
The Phoenix Queen's sharp phoenix eyes swept over the two troublesome children, and she said, "From today onwards, you will move to the Royal Palace to educate the two young masters." Her time was drawing near, and her body was weak; she simply did not have the energy to take care of the two unruly children.
Zhao Zhao is highly talented, has a pure bloodline, is simple-minded, and is loyal to the Phoenix Clan. He is also one of the four elders and a pure-blooded Azure Phoenix. I believe no one is more suitable for this task than him.
Worry surfaced in Nan Yu's eyes, but it was only because he was concerned about Zhao Zhao's future life.
"Yes." Zhao Zhao would not disobey the Phoenix Lord's orders. Moreover, his system mission originally included taking care of the two young masters as they grew up healthy.
Ye looked reluctant, but stubbornly said, "I don't want to see him."
The Phoenix Queen's gaze was icy: "You have no right to speak."
"Pfft," Yue chuckled smugly, then looked obediently at her stern nominal mother sitting high on the throne: "I will always support Mother's decisions~"
Ye cursed, "Get out..." but before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Zhao covered his mouth.
Zhao Zhao's respect was reserved only for the master of the Phoenix Clan; no one else was worthy of his careful service.
Phoenix Queen tacitly approved of Zhao Zhao's behavior, her cold expression unchanged. She knew the nature of the two cubs clearly, and even when faced with Yue's ingratiating gesture, her golden eyes remained unmoved.
The names "Yue" and "Ye" were given to them by the eldest elder long ago when they were still in their eggshells and had not yet been born. However, as soon as the cubs were born, they argued and fought over the names.
Thinking back now, the Phoenix Queen's already aching head throbbed even more.
How could she entrust the future of the Phoenix Clan to two unruly young masters?
Seeing that she was not in good condition, Nan Yu said with concern, "Phoenix Lord, you can leave the clan affairs to us. You should go and rest."
Zhao Zhao echoed, "I will take good care of the two young masters, please rest assured."
The four elders of the Phoenix Clan are the pure-blooded phoenixes that the Phoenix Lord trusts the most, so naturally, he has complete peace of mind with them.
However, his deep golden eyes swept over the two young children, and he forced a smile and said, "It's alright, let's celebrate the birthdays of the two young masters first."
The event, which should have been held long ago, was delayed because of Ye and Yue's antics.
Now, the Phoenix Queen looked at the two cubs whose emotions were relatively stable, her eyes slightly curved. The next second, the magnificent golden-red fire phoenix, with its powerful aura that blotted out the sky, flew out of the royal palace, its golden-red halo seemingly dyeing the entire sky red.
At the same time, two phoenix cubs, one black and one red, which had transformed into human form, followed her footsteps and soared into the sky.
A loud phoenix cry, interspersed with two tender chirps, resounded through the sky and spread to every corner of the phoenix clan. Soon after, cheerful bird calls and the cries of other phoenixes echoed from all directions.
Zhao Zhao and Nan Yu looked up, their eyes reflecting the three dazzling fire phoenixes in the sky, their expressions proud and relaxed.
“Zhao Zhao, the task of teaching the two young masters is arduous and far-reaching,” Nan Yu said gently, “Can you really do it?”
In his eyes, even though Zhao Zhao held the important position of elder, he was still essentially a boy who knew nothing.
Zhao Zhao didn't look at him, but stared at the spectacular scene in the sky. A hint of a smile appeared on her cold face: "I can definitely do it."
Even if he doesn't like the cubs, his loyalty and sense of responsibility will lead him to diligently educate the two young masters.
Nan Yu gently stroked Zhao Zhao's long hair: "My little one, you've grown up."
I'm genuinely happy, and I believe that when Xiyan returns and sees Zhaozhao like this, he will also be filled with pride.
The Phoenix Queen took the two little phoenixes for a stroll, and then returned to the main hall.
A sharp rocket flew past, and the next second, the Phoenix Queen rested her chin on her hand, leaning back lazily and elegantly on the throne. With a "plop," two little phoenixes also landed in the empty space on the throne.
Ye, who had just returned to human form, was slapped across the face by someone using their mental power. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and started fighting with Yue, who looked innocent to the side.
Then, the Phoenix Master slapped both of their buttocks twice.
"Hey! Don't I have any dignity?!" Ye's anger shifted.
"Mother, how could you hit me?" Yue asked pitifully.
Phoenix Queen resumed her expressionless gaze at the entrance of the main hall. Upon hearing the good news, Bai Yu rushed over, a gentle smile appearing on her mild and elegant face.
"Phoenix Master, these are the birth gifts I prepared for the two young masters." Two exquisite little boxes appeared in her hands, and the two cubs' eyes were immediately drawn to the gifts.
Nan Yu then took out the gift, which was also carefully packed in two small boxes.
Zhao Zhao's expression remained unchanged as she took out a small stone from her pocket: "A gift."
Ye and Yue stared intently, and seeing only a crimson stone in her fair palm, they didn't say a word. At the same time, their small wings unfolded and they flew towards Zhao Zhao.
"mine....."
"mine!"
The stone was lifted up by Yue's spiritual power, but was then snatched away by Ye, who flew in quickly.
The two cubs, because there was only one gift, wrestled together again in perfect unison.
The Phoenix Queen sighed, "Zhao Zhao, do you have any more of these small stones?"
Zhao Zhao frowned as she looked at the cubs rolling around on the ground. "There's only this one piece," she said.
Upon hearing this, the two cubs fought even more fiercely: "I got it first... I won't give it to you."
"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? These all belong to me alone!"
Zhao Zhao: ......
Bai Yu: ?
Nan Yu: ...sighs.
The Phoenix Queen, annoyed by the noise, turned and left, adding with concern, "Zhao Zhao, don't bring them to see me until you've taught them properly."
Stay away.
She stared blankly. For the Phoenix Clan, which had been elegant and composed for tens of thousands of years, the birth of two cubs with such peculiar personalities for the first time was truly hard for her to accept.
Zhao Zhao nodded, and after the Phoenix Lord left, the hairband came in handy again.
The blue ribbon was cut in half and tied to the hands of the two cubs respectively.
Ye's hands were tied, so he tried to bite with his mouth, but Zhao Zhao covered his mouth. At the same time, his mental energy attacking his body was also blocked.
So the two cubs temporarily ceased fighting.
Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Zhao Zhao, don't be silly." Her tone didn't carry much reproach.
However, her ingrained class consciousness made her subconsciously feel that Zhao Zhao's actions were too outrageous.
After all, the cub before them was no ordinary being; it was their Phoenix Clan, the future king.
She tried to step forward to stop him, but Nan Yu reached out to stop her: "The Phoenix Lord did not mean to blame you, and Zhao Zhao has grown up and knows her own limits."
"Hmph, it's none of your business!" At the same time, Ye, who had a fiery temper, yelled at her.
"......All right."
Zhao Zhao glared at him with her icy eyes: "If you speak rudely again, don't even think about speaking for the next few days."
Ye Cai wouldn't be threatened and said, "Tch, you think you can just stop me from talking? Who do you think you are?"
Bai Yu and Nan Yu frowned simultaneously, instinctively defending Zhao Zhao: "Young Master Ye, how can you bully Zhao Zhao?"
Ye: ...rolls eyes.
