But it was Feng Qing’an who had only witnessed him being targeted by the heavenly calamity, then she was taken away by the Underworld Phoenix. What happened afterwards, she had no idea, all she could do was to wait in agony in the underworld.
“Feng Qing’an is fine.”
Not keeping her in suspense, Dong Huang responded to his sister’s anticipation. Naturally, the result the girl wanted to hear brought a joyful gleam to her delicate face.
“But it seems like you have a big problem. What’s going on? Why has your strength declined so much?”
The little phoenix fluttered down onto Dong Huang. Up close, she could feel his changes more keenly. After all, they were inseparable, so she could sense the changes more clearly than Song could, even though they came from the same source. Since Song was too far away, he couldn’t notice much.
“It’s nothing. I just made some sacrifices. But it’s only temporary. Everything will return to normal eventually!”
“What did you sacrifice? When can you get it back?”
Youyou immediately asked, her tone serious.
The significant decline in the power of the ruler of You Huang Ghost Country was a major issue. Not only could it possibly lead to a rebellion within the country, if the news got out, it could, no, it certainly would lead to an attack from other Ghost Nations.
She could already foresee that once the news couldn’t be suppressed, a war affecting multiple nations would break out. Tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of ghost creatures would fall, vanish into thin air, cease to exist. There might even be a considerable number of ghost kings falling.
Since the balance had been shattered, the weakened Dong Huang would no longer be feared by other ghost kings. Instead, he had become a tempting target in their eyes.
“No need to ask further. It’s not a big deal. It’s getting late, let’s go back!” Dong Huang said calmly.
Although Song cared deeply for Feng Qing’an, it didn’t mean she didn’t worry about her sister. Upon hearing the little phoenix’s words, she immediately focused her attention on her sister,
“Sister, what’s wrong?”
“You don’t need to worry about me. I just consumed a lot of energy, that’s all.
It’s not a problem!”
Seeing her sister as always concerning about her, Dong Huang still kept her complexion cold and serious, but a hint of gentleness emerged from the depth of her eyes.
“Youyou, let’s go!”
“But…”
“Is my command useless now? Do you want to be the first one to rebel against me?”
Under Dong Huang’s gaze, even if Youyou had a myriad of worries in her mind, she had no choice but to reveal her true form, soaring in the sky. Dong Huang stepped onto the back of the Underworld Phoenix. Before leaving, she looked down at her sister and cautioned,
“Song, Feng Qing’an’s transformation is over. Be moderate in what you ask for while I’m gone!”
Just when the girl was stunned and wanted to ask further, her sister had already left.
“Sister! ”
The girl looked at her sister’s departing figure, a trace of worry appearing in her delicate eyebrows. She could tell that there was a major issue with her sister, it wasn’t a small problem as suggested.
“Dong Huang, with your current state, are you really going back to the country?
This will cause a big chaos!”
Even though she was carrying Dong Huang on her back, Youyou still asked with concern.
“You shouldn’t have mentioned my situation in front of my sister. It will only cause her worry and won’t be of any help!”
At this moment, Dong Huang’s expression was indifferent, and instead of answering the question, she reprimanded Youyou.
“I’m sorry, I was too hurried at the time and didn’t consider Song. I was just too shocked when I saw you!”
“Hmm! Don’t let it happen again!”
Dong Huang didn’t continue to reprimand her, just lightly brushing it off. After all, it wasn’t a big deal.
“Are you really going back?”
“What are you afraid of? Don’t we still have you?”
“But just me alone is not enough to deter those ghost kings. I can’t compare to you, you know.”
Youyou lacked confidence. Even though her strength wasn’t much less than Dong Huang’s, she didn’t think she could rule a country.
“Rest assured. If I didn’t have a surefire way to suppress everything, why would I seek a path to my own death? You’ve been with me for so long, when have you ever seen me act without strategy? I wouldn’t recklessly put myself in danger!”
Dong Huang comforted the phoenix.
“But you didn’t leave with me under the heaven’s tribulation last night!”
Youyou, not giving Dong Huang any face, directly brought up a recent event. However, her words have become cheerful and lively.
Because if Dong Huang says she has the ability to suppress everything, then she must have. It’s impossible to deceive her about this.
“I told you, I have a backup plan. Even a heavenly tribulation cannot threaten me!”
Dong Huang’s face darkened slightly. “But you paid a huge price to escape!” “Everything was worth it!”
“Whatever you say!”
Seeing that Dong Huang didn’t want to say anything to her, Youyou didn’t press her further. She knew that Dong Huang hides a great secret even from her.
Despite this, she wouldn’t rudely pry. In the You Huang realm, there is no Ghost King who doesn’t have secrets. Even she has secrets she cannot disclose, but Dong Huang has never asked her about them.
“Dong Huang, if you return like this, surely the big generals would have questionable thoughts. Since you have the means to suppress everything, did you do this on purpose?”
Youyou asked curiously.
“Right, I want to see how many traitors are hidden under my command. When I was strong and healthy, they could bow their heads and follow my orders. But now, in my moment of weakness, how many will remain loyal, and how many will harbor rebellion! ”
Dong Huang admitted.
Yet, she is not a monarch who would test her subordinates’ loyalty out of boredom. Given the situation she’s in right now, she doesn’t mind going with the flow and gauging the thoughts of her followers.
“This should be interesting! Do you need me to pretend as well?”
“No need, just act as if you know nothing about it. On top of that, you need to suppress any news about my decrease in power!” “Alright, I’ll listen to you! But, Dong Huang!”
“Hmm?” “You’re really bad!”
“Shut up! ”
Seemingly looking forward to the amusement ahead, the phoenix flapped its wings even more enthusiastically, and its speed increased greatly.
Huang’s powerful force that could wipe out everything.
Dong Huang stood on the back of the phoenix, gazing into the distance, pondering on the rebellion that would arise with her return, and the powerful enemy who would come to take advantage of her weakness.
Youyou assumed as such, hence she didn’t chat unnecessarily with Dong Huang. Instead, she maintained a quiet atmosphere to let Dong Huang think and plan.
But actually, in the heart of the ruler of You Huang, there were unrelated thoughts. However, for Dong Huang, this was much more important than the impending rebellion and foreign enemies.
“Feng Qing’an’s physique has become stronger. His benefits to me could reach ten times what they were before. Even though I shared some of my original source, I was able to replenish a lot in just one night!”
Dong Huang could feel her strength slowly increasing within her. Without practicing, simply interacting with the aura of the You Huang realm caused it to naturally grow.
It had been a long time since Dong Huang had lost the sensation of this familiar feeling. Yet now, it was coming back to her. All of this was gifted by Feng Qing’an.
“Truly testing my Daoist Heart.”
At this moment, Dong Huang even envied her own sister to some extent. She even wanted to be like her sister, but she quickly suppressed this selfish thought. She could get help from Feng Qing’an, but she must not indulge in it.
“Speaking of which, a male in the Human Race, at the age of eight, his kidney energy is substantial, hair grows, and teeth are replaced. At twenty-eight, his kidney energy is strong, the Heavenly Mallow arrives, his essence overflows, Yin and Yang are balanced, hence he can have offspring!”
“Feng Qing’an, who is now nearly twenty-eight years old, with me and Nan Ge by his side, is detrimental to his growth. There is a risk of early loss of vitality.. We need to find a method to strengthen his Yang!”
