One of her elder brothers leaned over. "Sister, this is the Multicolored Fan I swindled from the Peacock Clan. If anyone dares to bully you, just fan them with this. It'll surely blow them hundreds of thousands of miles away!"
Another elder brother pushed him aside. "Sister, this is the Dragon Pearl sent by Nanming. It can break any illusion in the world. Take it. From now on, we elder brothers won't have to worry about you being deceived anymore!"
"Sister, this is..."
To show their support, the elder brothers all took out their treasures and vied to stuff them into her hands.
In no time, Yaohua was holding a whole bunch of them.
The elder brothers still weren't satisfied.
"Sister, wait for me a moment. I still have some in my room. I'll be right back."
"Right, I also have some in my room."
Yaohua twitched the corners of her mouth and quickly stopped their crazy behavior. "Wait!"
"Is it too heavy? I'll help you carry them." Mo Qing suddenly realized and quickly came over to take them for her, thinking he was being very considerate.
Yaohua rubbed the center of her eyebrows, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I really don't want any more. Master has also given me a lot of treasures, and my space is full of the treasures you've given me. They've been sitting there collecting dust!"
"We elder brothers didn't think it through. Since that's the case, I still have a Sumeru Bag..."
Yan Ling took out an unremarkable bag and stuffed it into her hand without blinking. Yaohua waved her hands repeatedly and was just about to refuse when a crane's cry suddenly came from not far away.
They all looked up and saw a pure - white celestial crane with a single red dot on its forehead slowly flying over. In the blink of an eye, it landed in front of them.
Yaohua was a bit stunned, then she remembered that when she was in Jincheng, her master had used a celestial crane to send a message to Immortal Lord Xingye. She immediately happily ran over.
"Is it Master?"
The celestial crane lowered its head. "Divine Lord Chongming sent me to inform the little princess that he will go to Henan Prefecture for training in a few days. He hopes the little princess will make preparations early." After saying that, it looked at Yaohua's elder brothers. "The divine lord is aware of your difficulties, so he has allowed Little God - Monarch Mo Qing to go to Henan Prefecture with them."
Mo Qing, who was named, was slightly stunned, and then his face beamed with joy. "The divine lord wants me to go for training with sister?"
The celestial crane nodded, and then suddenly turned into a gust of wind and disappeared between heaven and earth.
"Goodness, did I hear that right?" Jun Xi looked full of doubt. "Divine Lord Chongming actually let the sixth brother go to Henan Prefecture with sister?"
"Yeah, why is it the sixth brother?"
Mo Qing looked smug. "Why not me? I'm a rare handsome man in our Phoenix Clan in a thousand years..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was dragged away by his elder brothers.
"Sister, we just remembered that we have important matters to attend to. Haven't you gone to pay respects to Father yet?"
Yaohua was left standing there, stunned. Before she could react, her elder brothers left the treasures and ran away in an instant.
She looked at the treasures scattered on the ground and was speechless.
"Sister, I'll take you to see Father."
Yaohua opened her eyes wide and looked back. Feng Jing was standing beside her with a smile.
"Second elder brother, why are you still here?"
"I still have some treasures in my room..."
This time, it was Yaohua who ran away quickly. "Second elder brother, I just remembered that I still have something to ask Rong Chu. I'll leave first!"
Her elder brothers were really too straightforward. They gave her all their treasures.
The news that there were human resentful spirits living in the biting flying insects quickly spread throughout the entire Phoenix Clan. The clan members sent all the captured flying insects to the clan leader.
After learning about Yaohua and her elder brothers' discovery, Qingcang was so happy that he clapped his hands and laughed. Then he sent another batch of treasures to Yaohua.
Yaohua looked at the almost mountain - like pile of treasures in front of her and took two steps back speechlessly. "Father, didn't you send the treasures that were supposed to be rewards for the elder brothers to me too?"
Qingcang said righteously, "Anyway, they were going to give them to you. Father might as well just bring them all here directly." He bent down and looked at Yaohua with a smile. "All the treasures of our Phoenix Clan combined are not as valuable as a single feather of our little princess."
Yaohua blinked. Suddenly, she jumped up and hung on Qingcang's neck. "Father, will you promise me one thing?"
Daughters were the cutest things in the world!
Qingcang was completely under her thumb. He readily agreed before even hearing what she had to say.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll do whatever you say, whatever you say."
"Then Father, take these treasures back and guard the Phoenix Clan well. Wait for me and the sixth elder brother to come back from Henan Prefecture. It's a deal." Yaohua gave him a kiss on the cheek and happily jumped out of his arms. "Father, remember to subtly ask other clans if they've suffered from the flying - insect disaster. I suspect this flying - insect incident is not an accident."
Qingcang quickly agreed and floated back with a pile of treasures. It wasn't until he came to his senses that he realized he'd been tricked.
"Hey, this girl is getting more and more cunning!"
However, at this time, Yaohua was already sitting on the back of the celestial crane sent by Chongming to pick her up.
"Why hasn't the sixth elder brother come yet?" She lay on the back of the celestial crane, her chubby little legs constantly swinging up and down.
After muttering to herself several times, Mo Qing finally showed up.
But his appearance today was really not very good - looking.
Yaohua couldn't help but laugh. "Sixth elder brother, why do you have a black eye and a swollen face?"
Since he was dragged away by his elder brothers that day, Yaohua hadn't seen him. She never expected that this would be the reason when they met again.
"The elder brothers are really too stingy. Just because Divine Lord Chongming likes me and not them, they dragged me off and gave me a good beating." Mo Qing pouted and leaned over with his swollen and purple eye sockets. "It hurts so much. I need sister's immortal qi to blow on it. It'll stop hurting after a blow."
Yaohua was holding back her laughter and was just about to blow on it when Mo Qing was kicked away.
The culprit was wearing a gentle and elegant smile and handed over a packet of sunflower seeds. "Sister, I'm here to see you off."
"Thank you, second elder brother." Yaohua was extremely delighted as she hugged the sunflower seeds. She looked behind Feng Jing but didn't see the other elder brothers, so she was a bit confused for a moment.
"Father punished them to catch insects." Feng Jing explained. He also gave Mo Qing some instructions before watching them leave.
Feng Jing's figure gradually turned into a black dot and then completely disappeared from sight. Only then did Yaohua withdraw her gaze.
She always felt that the second elder brother was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Mo Qing cracked open a plate of sunflower seeds for her and handed it to her. "The resentful spirits in the captured flying insects have all been separated. After the eldest elder brother questioned them, he found that they were all from Henan Prefecture. I simply brought them all with me. The clan members all regret killing a lot of them before. They also said that if the corpses of those people are found, they hope to bury these poor souls properly."
Yaohua's mood instantly became heavy. She could feel the grief and helplessness of the clan members. Coupled with the precedent in Jincheng, she really couldn't imagine what Rong Chu and the others had been through.
