“My dear fairy…” Feng Wu was very touched.
The look in her eyes made the white fairy uneasy, and she said, “Let’s look for the clue, quickly.”
“Alright.” Feng Wu nodded.
She decided that if she ever had the chance to meet Chu Tianxiao, her Senior Brother, she would say some very nice things about the dear fairy. Yes! She clenched her fists.
She then looked around, searching for anything that would lead her to the second chapter.
They were right in the middle of a stone arch bridge made from white jade.
A pair of stone lions sat on either end of the bridge. They were all very life-like sculptures, down to every single hair.
Under the bridge flowed a bottomless river. Green lotus leaves covered the water, and the sound was quite pleasant.
Where was the clue to the second chapter of the Guardian of the Earth?
Before Feng Wu could even start searching —
“It’s under the seventh lotus leaf opposite the third brick on the right end of the bridge,” someone said in a proud voice.
Feng Wu looked perplexed.
She looked up at Little Phoenix.
“Go get it.” Crossing its wings, Little Phoenix raised its head.
“Really?” Feng Wu sounded suspicious.
The white fairy looked from the bird to Feng Wu before looking away.
What universe did this girl save in her last life? With the great bird with her, she would be able to do anything!
The fairy couldn’t understand the bird. It was so merciless toward other people, but it would give the girl whatever she wanted.
On their way here, the bird had complained, saying that this place was great, but it just took so long to find the Guardian of the Earth.
That obvious hint had made the fairy bring Little Feng Wu here directly. This was against the rules, and she would be punished if she was found out.
“Is that true?” Feng Wu glanced at Little Phoenix. “How did you find it so quickly? I didn’t have a clue at all.”
The white fairy pushed her a little. “Quickly, Mas…”
Little Phoenix cast a stern look at the white fairy.
“Ahem —” The white fairy coughed to cover her slip of the tongue. “Didn’t Little Phoenix tell you already? It’s under the seventh lotus leaf opposite the third brick on the right end of the bridge!”
Feng Wu smiled at the white fairy. “What does that lousy bird know? I’m sure it’s all made up.”
That lousy bird? She called Master Phoenix a lousy bird?! She, she…
The white fairy’s eyes widened, and she stared at Feng Wu in disbelief.
Feng Wu was confused. “What?”
The white fairy looked at the bird, whom she deemed to be a supreme figure.
Why didn’t the defiant Master Phoenix get angry when it was called a lousy bird?!
Little Phoenix glanced at Feng Wu without saying another word.
How could it be angry? This girl was the dearest to its master!
Seeing that the white fairy only stood there and looked stunned, the embarrassed Little Phoenix lashed out at the white fairy. “What are you waiting for? Look under that leaf!”
There was something very authoritative in its tone.
Feng Wu nearly jumped.
Seeing the white fairy just standing there, Feng Wu thought that the bird had offended her, so she apologized to the fairy. “Dear fairy, please don’t be mad. The lousy bird is grumpy for some unknown reason. It didn’t mean to yell at you. Please don’t kill it, for my sake…”
