Yi Qing frowned and looked at him with a cool gaze, saying, "The Yin River of the Underworld." Get lost little bastard!
"The Yin River?" Black Dragon paused."What are you going there for? Since when did you decide? Why don't I know any of this?"
"We're not that close!"
Not... close?!
Black Dragon felt a pang in his chest. With tears in his eyes, he turned to Shen Ying."Exalted Goddess..." Didn't you say I'm your little cutie?
"We're going to look for Shortie, " Shen Ying explained.
"Shortie?" Who's that? Black Dragon stared blankly at her for a couple of seconds before he finally recalled. Isn't that one of the three people that Exalted Goddess was looking for earlier? "Exalted Goddess, do you know where she is?"
"Yes, " Shen Ying answered, nodding. The Yin Qi in the egg was similar to the one they felt in the flower in Shortie's room.
"In the Underworld?" Black Dragon looked confused. He glanced at the young Yi Qing and said, "But... But... Long Zhen isn't back yet."
"I will send a message to her, " Yi Qing responded.
"But..."
Black Dragon started to say something when a servant girl suddenly rushed toward Yi Qing and bowed, her face a mask of worry."Young Master, I have bad news! The Supreme Divinity went to take revenge for Young Master and took a horse to Wu Qi Mountain alone."
"Wu Qi Mountain?"" Yi Qing's expression fell."Speak clearly. What's happened?"
"Supreme Divinity said that she found out that the Yin Qi in Young Master's egg could have something to do with the phoenix clan. That's why in a fit of anger she..." The servant girl kept pacing as she spoke "The phoenix clan is known to be very unreasonable. The Supreme Divinity might be taken advantage of this time."
Yi Qing clenched his fists by his side and turned to the person beside him."Master?"
"Let's go to that whatever Xi Mountain!"
***
Wu Qi Mountain was the main base camp of the phoenix clan. The dragon and phoenix clan never got along. Sometimes, if they met on the roads, they would even get into fights. The dragon clan hated the way the phoenixes always looked down on others, and the phoenix clan could not stand the way the dragons were made up of all types of breeds - any worm, snake or fish could become dragons.
That was why even though both were divine races, both races never interacted much. Long Zhen was not an unreasonable person, however. She certainly had a good reason for marching up to Wu Qi Mountain in a fit of rage to take revenge.
Perhaps it was because Yi Qing had become a divine being, he was much faster with flying on the sword than he was before. What's more, Long Zhen already had a transportation array that led straight to the phoenix territory. In less than an hour, they found themselves at their destination.
Before they arrived at Wu Qi Mountain, they saw flashes of lightning and heard thunder. From not far away, they saw grey clouds fill the sky, illuminated intermittently by the flashes of lightning. The sound of the thunder was deafening. Just below the dark clouds, there was a fiery red glow and flames everywhere. Hot air charged toward them.
Yi Qing conjured an isolation array to separate them from the mess around them. Then, they entered the half-stormy half-fiery land.
"Little Zhen, what are you doing?" A male's voice sounded from amidst the flames on the ground and he sounded quite impatient."When did I offend you? Why are you doing this to me?"
"Shut up!" Long Zhen was standing amidst the lightning and she looked absolutely outraged. Her voice was trembling as she said, "You dared to leave ghost immortal's Yin Qi in my son's egg. You should have expected that a day like that would come."
"Yin Qi?" The man sounded confused. A long thin figure emerged from the flames. He was dressed in blue robes but the red of his long hair was a stark contrast to it. He had a red drop stuck in the middle of his eyebrows, which resembled the flames from which he emerged. The man looked at Long Zhen with a mix of confusion and shock."What Yi Qi? What's wrong with your precious dragon egg this time?"
"You're still acting ignorant!" Long Zhen screamed even more angrily. The lightning around her intensified as she glared at the man."Feng San, don't think I don't know this. You were the one who sent the man who told me to make use of the power of reincarnation to save my dragon baby!" The more she spoke, the more enraged she got. It was almost as if she was shooting lasers at Feng San with her eyes."I never thought... you would use the chance to insinuate a ghost immortal to deposit his Yin Qi in my egg - it almost sucked the life out of my son!" If Yi Qing had not returned to the Divine World in his immortal body before merging with his divine body... If his master has not broken the egg open by force... Perhaps...
The more Long Zhen thought about it, the greater she trembled."Feng San, I admit that I let you down before. You know that the dragon baby is more important to me than anything else. Why would you hurt me like that!"
"I... I did not!" Feng San looked all the more confused. He urged, "Little Zhen, I really did not like that dragon egg. And I was the one who sent the person to tell you about the power of reincarnation. But I did not ask anyone to put Yin Qi in it!"
"You still want to deny it! Apart from your rotten and despicable phoenixes, who else has ties with ghost immortals in the Divine World?"
"I..." Feng San turned pale, as if wanting to explain something.
Long Zhen obviously did not want to listen. The lightning around her turned more intense, cutting through the sky and heading straight for Feng San.
Feng San dodged the flash just in time. He set up a pillar which sheltered him from the lightning in the sky."Little Zhen, listen to me. Why would I harm you?"
"Shut up!" Long Zhen attacked him with more gusto and with all she had.
Initially, Feng San could dodge the shots. Later, as they got more intense, he started to experience difficulty. Seeing that he was about to get hit, he set up a defensive array around him, absorbing the attacks and sending some rebounding back.
Long Zhen did not dodge the rebounded bolts in time.
"Little Zhen!" Feng San exclaimed. He had not imagined this would happen. He flew out in a panic.
Long Zhen retreated and held on to the part of her body that got hit by the bolt of lightning. She gritted her teeth and tried to swallow back the blood that she felt rising up her throat. Her eyes burned with hatred. Suddenly, she summoned more lightning, forcing Feng San to retreat. Her expression hardened as she smirked."That time... I was really blind to fall for you!"
Feng San just regained his composure when he processed what Long Zhen just said. He turned to her with eyes widened in shock."Little Zhen, what did you... just say?"
"I thought you were different from the other phoenixes. I never thought you would be more despicable. It's fine that you're not acknowledging my dragon baby - you even tried to kill him!"
"What?!" What was she saying?
"Feng San, I Long Zhen will cut all ties with you today!"
The moment she finished speaking, she turned into a red dragon. The bolts of lightning around her turned red as well. The red lightning dragon charged downward.
"Wait! Little Zhen..."
Long Zhen sped toward the ground as the thunder roared all around her. Suddenly, the sky illuminating with red lightning.
The audience, , Shen Ying and Yi Qing: "..."
A while later...
"Chef." Shen Ying bent down to pat his little shoulder comfortingly."It looks like... you have another father!"
Yi Qing: "..." Motherf*cker!
