All the resentment that had been captured by Yaohua earlier was shifted by Zhaoying onto the medicinal herbs and innocent passing fairies. As Yaohua walked along, seeing the injured and dead fairies everywhere, a ball of fire welled up in her heart.
Zhaoying was simply going too far!
The wrongdoer should be held accountable. If he had the guts, he should come and challenge her one - on - one!
Why did he hurt these fairies with low spiritual power?
When she helped up another fairy who had survived with a severed arm, Yaohua's anger reached its peak.
Black qi turned into chains, tightly wringing around a fairy's neck.
With a snap, the fairy's head rolled to the ground like a watermelon. Those wide - open eyes stared straight in Zhaoying's direction.
Zhaoying kicked it away with one foot, and his wild laughter echoed throughout the Fairy Residence.
Just then, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
The aura of the phoenix floating from afar was like the stinking fish and shrimp in a ditch. Among the current Phoenix Clan, only one person had such a smell. He didn't need to guess to know who was coming.
"Master, shall we leave here first?"
The caged bird uneasily scratched the ground with its claws. Its wings flapped against its body from time to time, and it kept making noises from its beak.
"Idiot!" Zhaoying's eyes were cold. He slapped the caged bird. "This is the Celestial Realm. Without a Celestial Realm token, how can we leave?"
That slap didn't seem very powerful, but it knocked the caged bird's head to one side. It took a long time for it to recover.
At this time, Yaohua landed on the ground.
The True Fire of the Phoenix bloomed like a red lotus at their feet.
Yaohua's eyes were as sharp as knives. With a grasp and release of her hand, the caged bird was immediately forced to curl up into a ball.
Zhaoying looked at her and slowly swallowed his saliva.
"Since you're Zhao Wu's wife, you should call me elder brother."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as he did, Yaohua sneered.
Her elder brothers from the Phoenix Clan were all extremely powerful. How could this Demon Lord who came out of nowhere claim to be her elder brother?
Suspicious looks were immediately cast around. Yaohua was no stranger to such looks. She didn't intend to explain. Originally, she had planned to spare this Demon Lord's life, but now she was determined to kill him.
Her cold expression was accentuated by the True Fire of the Phoenix, giving her an air of divinity. Zhaoying was momentarily dazed, but the next moment, he was pulled back by the stabbing pain in his chest.
He opened his mouth, trying to plead for mercy, but his throat felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of blazing flames. He couldn't make a single sound.
Yaohua stood coldly to one side, watching him struggle and roll in the True Fire of the Phoenix without showing any emotion.
Those looks that had previously doubted her had now turned into awe.
As soon as Zhaoying died, Yaohua immediately collected his demonic qi and gave half of it to the system.
Receiving her gift, the system was rarely a bit bashful. "Thank you. I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have doubted you."
"It's good that you know. If there's a next time, you'll never get demonic qi from me again."
"Never again." The system quickly put away the demonic qi in fear. "You should go and report back to the God - Lord quickly."
Yaohua looked at the caged bird.
She didn't know why the caged bird had colluded with the Demon Lord or what the current situation of the Caged Bird Clan was. She needed an undercover agent to help her.
And this caged bird seemed just right to her.
Under Yaohua's mischievous gaze, the caged bird couldn't help but shiver.
Yaohua put her hands behind her back and walked over, sizing up the caged bird.
"You're quite a big one."
If its wings weren't tied up at the moment, the caged bird would have wanted to hug its head and plead for mercy immediately.
Yes, it was a big one!
But who would have thought that the delicate girl in front of it had a real form several times larger than it!
"Although you have the blood of the Demon Lord on you, you're still a brother of our Bird Clan."
Although the Caged Bird Clan was notorious and had offended all the other bird clans, it didn't stop her from getting on friendly terms.
"The Demon Lord has committed many evils. You won't get any good following them." Yaohua pondered. "Now, I have a good job for you. If you succeed, there will be plenty of rewards for you."
The caged bird, which had been hopeless, suddenly blinked when it heard this.
"Is there really such a good thing?"
"Of course."
The sly smile of the phoenix made it swallow its saliva.
There was nothing it could do. The phoenix and the caged bird were natural enemies. Even if it was going to be killed by this phoenix, it couldn't help but be tempted by the phoenix.
"If you keep staring at me, I'll gouge out your eyes first."
Yaohua pretended to make a few gestures in front of the caged bird's eyes.
The caged bird was timid and quickly closed its eyes.
"I'll help, I'll help!"
Only then did Yaohua put it into her sleeve. She picked up some bones of the Demon Lord from the ground and went back to report.
At this time, in the God - Lord's Hall.
Cang Shan was tearfully enumerating Yaohua's crimes, as if Yaohua had really committed many heinous deeds.
When Yaohua came over, she happened to see the God - Lord raising his hand to rub his temples.
Presumably, he was quite annoyed.
Yaohua thought so, but still presented the bones of the Demon Lord.
The bones of the Demon Lord that had been burned by the True Fire of the Phoenix showed a jade - like color, like newly - cut jade seeing the light of day again, making people can't help but take a few more glances.
"You've done it." The God - Lord casually threw the bones aside and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. "Just tell me what reward you want."
Yaohua originally wanted to ask for the two things that the previous God - Lord had promised her master, but the current God - Lord would never allow anything beyond her expectations to happen.
Thinking that her master was still not fully recovered, she hesitated for a moment. "I want the Cloud Lily Immortal Herb."
"Hmm?" The God - Lord was surprised. "What do you need the Cloud Lily Immortal Herb for?"
Yaohua opened her mouth. For a moment, she didn't know if she should tell the God - Lord everything about her master.
Logically speaking, the God - Lord should have known that her master was seriously injured, but the God - Lord's reaction made Yaohua a bit strange.
"As a Martial God, I may get seriously injured. So I want to plan ahead for emergencies."
"There's only one Cloud Lily Immortal Herb, and it has been requested by Princess Ciconia Xilan. You can choose another one."
It had been requested by Xilan... Presumably, it had mostly been used on her master.
Yaohua unconsciously licked her lower lip.
It tasted a bit bitter.
"If there's no Cloud Lily Immortal Herb, the Three - Bloom Herb will do."
The God - Lord chuckled. He put down the Fuji Lyre in his hand and looked up. "All the medicinal herbs with special properties have been requested by Princess Ciconia. If you need them for an emergency, you can talk to her yourself."
In the end, there was still none.
Yaohua was a bit disappointed. Looking at the sound waves swirling around, she felt even more annoyed.
"Then could the God - Lord allow me to touch... the Fuji Lyre?"
The lyre was right in front of her. Although it wasn't completely repaired, it was mostly done. Several crystal - clear strings were stretched across it. Yaohua didn't know which one was her poor Danjing for a moment.
