“Mo Ze is with her? That’s good.” She was relieved to hear this. She met him last time. His appearance was very attractive, her daughter matched him very well. He said that they would go back to the Phoenix Empire for the wedding after picking her up.
She stood up. “You’re tired after a long journey. Let me first tell Leng Shuang to bring you something to eat. Then, you can get some good rest.”
“Yes.” Guan Xilin stood up, nodding at her in response.
At this time, neither Feng Jiu nor Shangguan Wanrong knew that Feng Xiao, who was far away in the Phoenix Empire, rushed over after receiving the news from Feng Jiu.
He was accompanied by Feng Jiu’s contract beast, the ancient sacred beast – Fire Phoenix. They were on their way to the Eight Supreme Empires at this time.
Dressed in a black robe, Feng Xiao sat down on a stone by the side of the road and took a few mouthfuls of water from the Heaven and Earth Bag.
After receiving the news, he knew that Little Jiu had found her mother. He couldn’t wait for a moment to go and pick them up. Fire Phoenix, who learned of the news, said that it would follow him. His father felt that the whole Phoenix Empire was currently in a peaceful state and the neighbouring countries had pledged friendships with the empire. His position was very stable, so he let Fire Phoenix go with him so that someone could take care of him on the journey.
During the trip, Fire Phoenix followed him in the form of a bird, attracting no attention. Although he had encountered several dangers along the way, he pulled through safely.
Atop a tree branch, shaped like a flame-coloured little bird, Fire Phoenix fluttered down and landed on Feng Xiao’s shoulder. “How do we find them when we get to the Eight Supreme Empires?”
“We can get Mo Ze’s subordinates to notify them.” He answered and stood up. “Let’s go!” He took out the airship and tossed it up, leapt on it with Fire Phoenix, and continued the journey.
More than half a month passed.
Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who had no idea at all that Feng Xiao and Fire Phoenix were already on the road, had returned to the City Lord. They were held up by some matters on their journey. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken them more than half a month.
The closer they got to the courtyard, the more rigid Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s body. Feng Jiu asked him with some surprise, “What’s wrong with you? Do you feel unwell? Why is it so strange?”
Behind, Gray Wolf, who was leading Old White, grinned secretly. Master didn’t feel unwell. Obviously, he’s worried about meeting his mother-in-law.
“Last time I saw your mother, she was in a coma. This is the first time we meet formally, isn’t it? I’m a little nervous.” He pursed his lips and spoke truthfully. Once these words came out, he saw her startled and then laughed heartily.
He couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed. “What’s so funny? I’m worried about giving her a bad impression. ”
“Alright, alright. I’m not laughing anymore.” She waved her hand with a smile, her eyes still bent into crescent moons. “What if she doesn’t have a good impression on you? You won’t marry me?”
“That’s impossible.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said in a calm voice.
“That’s right. In that case, why are you nervous? What’s more, I have mentioned you to my mother for a long time. She should have a good impression on you. Don’t worry! She’s very nice.” She smiled with her eyes narrowed, holding his hand, and took a big stride forward. Arriving at the courtyard, she knocked at the door.
Leng Hua heard a knock on the door and asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me!” Feng Jiu shouted outside.
