Yaohua glanced at him but said nothing, her eyes fixed intently on the black mist around the Dragon King.
She slowly reached out her small hand towards the black mist. Nanming's eyes widened in an attempt to stop her, but seeing that the God Chongming didn't say a word, he felt quite anxious.
As her small hand got closer to the black mist, it instantly coiled around her fair and chubby hand, and was about to wind its way up her arm towards her body.
Yaohua was startled and immediately tried to shake off the black mist, but it clung to her as if glued, making her unable to move at all.
This situation was extremely strange. Yaohua had never encountered anything like this before. In her anxiety, a red light burst forth from her chest, instantly shattering the black mist.
Yaohua felt as if she had been struck in the chest by a dull hammer. Her small body quickly recoiled, and then she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
When she woke up again, it was completely dark outside.
Her chest still ached faintly, but it was a bit more bearable.
She carefully recalled what had happened. What were the black mist she saw and the red light that came from her body?
"Are you awake?"
The God Chongming walked in with a bowl of celestial dew in his hand and looked at the little girl sitting on the bed.
She could now maintain her human form for a long time. Sitting on the bed with a confused look, she was extremely cute.
Even the emotion - less Chongming couldn't help but feel a touch of tenderness.
The handsome god!
Yaohua was overjoyed. She directly trotted over on her short legs and hugged the God Chongming's thigh.
"Daddy, how is the Dragon King?"
"You little girl, still thinking about others."
Chongming smiled gently and brought the celestial dew in front of her.
"Eat something first, and then I'll take you there."
Yaohua nodded obediently. She took the celestial dew and ate it in big mouthfuls, but her mind kept replaying the black mist and the red light.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, she got a tap on the head. Yaohua couldn't help but open her eyes wide and look at Chongming.
"Why did you hit me, Daddy?"
"You're not concentrating on eating. What's going on in that little head of yours?"
"Handsome Daddy, I remember seeing a layer of black mist coiling around the Dragon King. I wanted to see what it was, but it wrapped around me and I couldn't move at all. Then a red light burst out from my body and shattered the black mist. After that, I passed out."
Hearing this, Chongming's expression turned solemn.
He didn't know what the black mist the little phoenix was talking about was, and he hadn't seen any black mist or red light either.
However, the fact that she got injured at that time was real.
"It's okay. I'll take you to see Nanming later. I still have some questions that haven't been cleared up."
Chongming frowned tightly. Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
What kind of mysterious person could even injure a master like the Dragon King?
What were the black mist and red light the little phoenix was talking about? Were they just a child's fantasy or something beyond his reach?
An hour later, Chongming took the well - dressed Yaohua and appeared at the Dragon King's residence again.
Nanming was guarding inside. When he saw the two of them coming, he quickly got up. His eyes fell on Yaohua, filled with complex emotions.
"I haven't finished asking my question just now. If it was just an injury, why did the Dragon King go crazy? Is there something hidden in this?"
Chongming frowned and asked.
"Since the god has asked, I'll tell you everything."
Listening to Nanming's account, Yaohua then found out that the mysterious person had actually poisoned the Dragon King. At first, they were all unaware of it, but as the Dragon King's wound healed, the poison seeped deep into his bones, and he began to show signs of going crazy.
After hurting a few people, the Dragon King moved to the farthest cave to prevent accidentally injuring his clansmen.
They just didn't expect that something would still go wrong this time.
Before they came to the Dragon Clan, Nanming had asked about the situation. The Dragon King didn't remember why he had killed the Green Dragon, and his own memory had become chaotic.
"God Chongming, my father's situation is special. Please..."
"I promised you and your father before that I wouldn't report this to the Celestial Realm, and I won't go back on my word."
Chongming said calmly.
Although he assisted the Celestial Realm in managing the Three Realms, he also had a compassionate heart. He just usually had no desires or attachments.
Moreover, the Dragon King didn't do the thing of harming his own clansmen voluntarily.
He knew there was something fishy about this matter and wouldn't make a hasty judgment.
"Brother Nanming, did you see the black mist around the clan leader uncle and the red light on my body at that time?"
Yaohua couldn't help but ask.
If it weren't for the faint pain in her chest, she would have thought it was just a dream.
Why could she see something that the handsome god couldn't?
Nanming looked blank. "Is it related to your fainting?"
Yaohua shook her head disappointedly and said nothing more.
"Um..."
At this moment, the person on the bed made a sound, and everyone looked over.
"Father, are you awake?"
"What's wrong with me?"
The Dragon King frowned and sat up, covering his swollen head with his hand.
Looking at the Dragon King's state, it seemed different from usual. Nanming looked at the God Chongming.
"God, please take a look at my father."
Chongming nodded and walked over, reaching out to feel the Dragon King's pulse.
After a careful examination, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"The poison on the Dragon King's body has disappeared."
Chongming thought he might have seen it wrong at first. He examined him carefully again to confirm. In his heart, he faintly felt that this matter was related to the little phoenix.
"Father, Grandpa Green Dragon is dead. Do you still remember what happened at that time?"
Nanming held back his grief and couldn't help but ask about the situation again.
The Dragon King felt a sudden pain in his heart, and memories flooded back into his mind.
At that time, the God Chongming had taken Nanming away. The Dragon King went crazy again in the cave with no one around.
But the Green Dragon came to the cave.
Seeing the Dragon King going crazy, he was extremely sad. Thinking that he was old and a burden to the Dragon Clan, he voluntarily sacrificed himself.
"Dragon King, you are the leader of the Dragon Clan, but you have been poisoned like this. It's a pity that I'm old and a burden to the clan. Now I will sacrifice myself. I hope the Dragon King can regain his sanity soon and lead the Dragon Clan to a new life!"
After saying that, he formed a seal.
Although the Dragon King was unconscious at that time, the memories were still in his mind. The feeling of watching his clansman die in front of his eyes was really unbearable.
After listening to the Dragon King's story, the expressions of the few people were different.
But they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the Green Dragon wasn't killed by the Dragon King, it wouldn't violate the Heavenly Law, and they didn't have to worry about the Celestial Realm killing the Dragon King after knowing about it.
"Uncle Dragon King, I'd like to ask you for a favor!" Yaohua said in a childish voice.
Only then did the Dragon King notice Yaohua, who was being held in Chongming's arms.
"Is this a little phoenix?"
"Yes, Uncle Dragon King. I'd like you to bring some rain."
Yaohua looked at the Dragon King with a big smile. She hadn't forgotten the purpose of her coming here.
Being called uncle by such a cute little girl, the gloom in the Dragon King's heart dissipated a lot.
"Sure, uncle promises to bring rain for you. Where do you want the rain?" The Dragon King's voice softened involuntarily.
"The territory of the Phoenix Clan!"
