Chapter 98: Casting a Long Line, Catching a Big Fish! (Revised)

  Woe... Master! You've been deeply poisoned by the female star of calamity! The fire dragon is burning in his heart, and its huge dragon eyes are staring at Feng Da like a young wife.

  "Where is Miss now?" Feng Da asked excitedly, he just knew that Miss would definitely come to save him.

  "In... at my father's place." Huo Long said in a low voice, his heart filled with anxiety. Oh no, Father! You mustn't hurt the Female Evil Star, otherwise Master will blame me, he's very clear about the position of the Female Evil Star in Master's heart.

  "Xiao Huo, your father is going to be in trouble." Feng Da's face was full of schadenfreude, hum! Even if the Third Elder was his own spiritual beast's father, what could he do? He dared to capture him and intimidate him, so he should be prepared for revenge.

  As soon as he thought about it, the sea beasts not far away that treated him as a delicacy with their tiger-like gaze made his heart hate. However, he was very clear that the three elders would not kill themselves, otherwise, Huo Long would not be able to live either. The purpose of these three elders was simply to torture him mentally.

  "How is that possible? My father is a divine beast." Huo Long couldn't believe his master's words, that female evil star was strong, but she shouldn't be able to defeat a divine beast, right?

  "What's so great about divine beasts? My family's young lady has many of them." Feng Da said with a proud face, his eyes shining with adoration.

  "Hmm! That's true, but there are many divine beasts among the dragon tribe." The fire dragon said cautiously. There were nearly a thousand dragons in the entire dragon tribe, and several hundred of them had advanced to become divine beasts, so...

  "What's the big deal?" Feng Da said nonchalantly, he was very confident in his own young mistress. The young mistress wouldn't fight a battle she wasn't sure of winning, since she dared to come, it seemed that those dragons weren't even in her eyes.

  Alas! The master is beyond salvation! The fire dragon couldn't help but let out a sigh, shaking its great head in dismay...

  The residence of the three elders.

  The three elders who underestimated the enemy never thought that this thin spiritual power would make it impossible for them to escape, and moreover, the more they struggled, the tighter they were bound, and the more they were entwined. In just an instant, their bodies were wrapped in a mass of green spiritual energy...

  Three old men struggled with all their might, but the spiritual power that was finer than a hair did not move at all. Slowly, the green spiritual power underwent a change, and green leaves grew on it. Then, pink flowers, only the size of fingernails, bloomed...

  "Haha!" Feng Zhan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the three elders' current appearance. They had actually been turned into tree stumps, with leaves growing all over their bodies and even flowers blooming on them. He wondered if they would be able to bear fruit soon, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

  "What kind of spiritual technique is this, how can it be so strange?" The three elders also discovered the situation on their bodies and even forgot to get angry, couldn't help but ask curiously. He has lived for so long and hasn't seen a spiritual technique that blooms like a flower yet!

  "This is Miss's self-created spiritual skill, called 'Branches Flourishing and Leaves Thriving', used for the first time today, how does it feel?" Cold Ruo Xue asked lightly, obviously treating the three elders as guinea pigs.

  "Let me go quickly, if you have the ability, let's come with real knives and guns." The Third Elder roared slowly, his heart almost vomiting blood. What kind of thing is this? He actually became a white mouse for this little girl to test her spiritual skills, how depressing!

  "Are you kidding me? Does the Third Elder think I'm joking around?" Cold Snow laughed mockingly, as if to say that this old man actually thought he needed to ask his opponent if they were ready before starting a fight.

  "What I mean is, let me go and we'll start over. You winning like this isn't impressive, and I don't accept it!" The Third Elder retorted stubbornly.

  "It's true that war doesn't despise deceit, as long as the outcome is what I want, then the process doesn't matter." Leng Ruoxue said calmly and composedly. Hmm, she thought to herself, how should she negotiate with the dragon tribe?

  "You... you despicable person!" The three elders were so angry that they couldn't speak for a while, and finally squeezed out a few words.

  "Am I despicable?" asked Leng Ruoxue with an innocent face.

  "How can the master be despicable? It's those who rely on being divine beasts and don't know good from bad that are truly despicable!" Feng Zhan said lightly, without even raising an eyebrow.

  "Yan Yan, go and invite Long Huang over!" Leng Ruo Xue instructed Yan Yan outside.

  "Alright, Flame will go find that smelly dragon." The Flame guarding the door heard Cold Snow's words and happily flew off to find the dragon.

  Before long, Long Hua arrived at the residence of the three elders with great reluctance.

  "Hmm, I don't know what Miss Leng wants with Ben Huang?" Dragon Hao said sternly, trying to hold back a smile as he glanced at the three elders who had flowers blooming on their bodies.

  "Dragon Emperor, I want to use him to exchange for Feng Da, is that okay?" asked Leng Ruoxue with a calm and collected gaze at Long Hao.

  "I'm fine, it's just that I don't know..." Long Hao glanced at the three elders and stopped halfway through his sentence. Alas! The elders of the dragon clan were all stubborn old men. Even if he was the Dragon Emperor, he couldn't force them to agree if they didn't want to."

  "Don't even think about it, I will never hand him over to you." The Third Elder said stubbornly, he would rather die than let his own son be driven by humans and become a slave to them, losing his freedom.

  "Would you rather die?" Leng Ruoxue asked coldly, what was going on with these three elders? She really didn't understand why this old man insisted so stubbornly.

  "Yes, you can kill me, but don't think I'll hand over the person to you!" The three elders vowed to die rather than yield.

  "Why? Give me a reason!" Leng Ruoxue asked patiently, she couldn't really kill the three elders, could she? After all, this old man was the father of that Fire Dragon.

  "I don't want my own son to be enslaved by humans and lose his freedom." The three elders roared angrily.

  "Who told you that being contracted with a human would make you a slave to humans? If I'm not mistaken, the reason that Fire Dragon left its clan was because it was bullied within the clan, right? Let me tell you the truth, if it weren't for me, your son wouldn't have been able to advance to Divine Beast. You old man not only forgot kindness and betrayed righteousness, but also captured my subordinate, humph!" Leng Ruoxue said with a face full of frost and an icy tone.

  "No, this is impossible!" His son Jincheng was a divine beast, how could he be related to this little girl? Wasn't it Ao's own efforts? The three elders were extremely shocked in their hearts and couldn't believe Leng Ruxue's words at all.

  "If you don't believe me, you can call that Fire Dragon over and we'll have a face-to-face confrontation." Leng Ruoxue suggested, this old man could doubt his own words, but he shouldn't doubt his son's words.

  "Someone come, go and call Huo." Long Hao directly ordered.

  "No need to call out, I'm here." As soon as the voice fell, a young red-haired man walked in from outside.

  "Awesome."

  "Dad!"

  "Miss, please spare my father!" Huo ran to Leng Ruo Xue's front, knelt down and begged. It seems that the master was right after all, the unlucky one is indeed his father. Alas! The female star of calamity is really too terrifying.

  "You've got the wrong person, it's your dad who's been looking for trouble with me." Leng Ruoxue didn't even give Huo Long a glance, her tone colder than ever.

  "Dad, I was able to advance and become a divine beast thanks to the young lady." Huo Ao explained directly, having heard everything that was just said outside.

  "Awu, are you telling the truth? But how is this possible, she's just a human?" The Third Elder asked incredulously, his face full of astonishment.

  Not just the three elders, even Long Hao and Feng Wu were equally astonished.

  "Miss is an alchemist," Huo Ao said.

  "Can she refine the elixir that promotes the sacred beast's advancement?" Long Hao asked tensely, if it was true, then he would have to reevaluate Cold Snow's status.

  "Hmm." Huo's eyes stared at Leng Ruoxue for a moment before nodding.

  "Leng Miss, I agree to return that person to you, please let the three elders go!" Long Hao said strongly after hearing Huo Ao's words.

  "Are you three elders not in doubt?" asked Leng Ruoxue, looking at the three elders.

  "No... nothing." The three elders were still somewhat unwilling, but he was very clear that in the face of major events concerning the dragon clan, he also had to yield.

  "In that case, let's exchange with each other!"

  "Alright, Miss Leng, what about our deal?" Long Hao couldn't help but ask.

  "Of course, as usual." Lan Ruoxue said very generously. She was going to cast a long line and catch big fish, so she would give them some sweetness first.

  "That's good, then let's first use the Xi Yuan grass and that human to exchange. As for Miss Leng's other condition, I'll need to discuss it with all of you elders." Long Hao said with a warm attitude, full of sincerity.

  "You're really good at taking advantage of the situation, aren't you? My master's subordinate was exchanged for your three elders, what does that have to do with trade?" Feng Zhan sneered with disdain.

  "I didn't take advantage of you, wasn't this agreed upon beforehand?" Long Hao retorted with a hint of embarrassment, his face burning hot.

  "It doesn't matter." Leng Ruoxue smiled magnanimously, not letting these petty dragons take advantage of her. How could they possibly succeed? Hehe, anyone who dares to take advantage of her will have to pay the price.

  "You're just a dead bird, look at how magnanimous Miss Leng is, no wonder she can be your master." Long Hao said with some provocative and arrogant tone.

  Feng shot him a glance, her heart filled with contempt.

  "Miss." By this time, Feng Da had already been brought to the residence of the Third Elder.

  "It seems that he didn't suffer much physical pain." Leng Ruoxue sized up Feng Da, whose eyes were brimming with hot tears and was visibly agitated. Although Feng Da's clothes were a bit disheveled and his face looked somewhat haggard, overall, he looked better than she had imagined.

  "Hmm." Feng Da responded, he hadn't suffered any physical pain, only mental anguish...

  "Three Elders? Haha!" Suddenly, Feng Da saw a middle-aged man covered in leaves and with countless pink small flowers on his body, stunned for a moment, then burst into uncontrollable laughter.

  "Three Elders, you've got your comeuppance today!" Feng Da circled around him several times before stopping in front of him, plucking at the small flowers on his body. Hmm, they're actually real? How did Miss do it, it's truly amazing!

  "Hmph!" The three elders snorted in unison, their noses pointing towards the sky, without even giving Feng Da a glance.

  "Three Elders, although I really want to beat you up, but looking at your beautiful appearance now, I just can't bring myself to do it, sigh! I'll be magnanimous and forgive you!" Feng Da said with a smile.

  "Hmph!" Another cold snort.

  "Miss Leng, this is the Xiuyuan grass you wanted." After bringing Feng Da over, Long Hao handed a few sprigs of emerald green grass to Leng Ruoxue and explained.

  "Thank you, this is yours." Leng Ruoxue put the Xiuyuan grass into her storage ring and looked at Long Hao's expectant face, directly handing him a storage ring.

  "Dragon Emperor, the last condition, after you've discussed it among yourselves, come find me at the Phoenix Clan. However, I won't be staying in the Phoenix Clan for too long." Cold Snow continued to say to Long Hao.

  "Alright, we will give Miss Leng a reply as soon as possible." Long Hao hurriedly said.

  "Let's go!" Leng Ruoxue said to Feng Zhan and Feng Da.

  The two nodded and were about to leave with Leng Ruoxue, but they were stopped by Long Hao again.

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at Long Hao with some confusion, her face full of question marks.

  "Miss Leng, please undo the restraints on the three elders!" Long Hao pleaded somewhat helplessly.

  "It can't be solved, it has to follow the laws of nature." Leng Ruoxue said, and directly passed by Long Hao, leaving this place.

  "Dad, I'm leaving too, I'll come back to see you." Huo Ao saw that his master had already left and hurriedly said to the three elders.

  "Alas! Dragon Emperor, what should I do?" The Third Elder looked at the disappearing back of his son and then at himself, asking somewhat anxiously.

  "I can't help it either, just follow the natural law!" Long Hao suppressed his smile and comforted him with a hint of helplessness on his face before leaving in big strides.

  "Miss, what is following the natural law?" Feng Da asked curiously on the way back to the Phoenix tribe.

  "Think for yourself." Lan Ruoye said calmly, what a fool!

  "I can't think of anything!" Feng Da said with a bitter face, looking pitifully at Leng Ruo Xue.

  "How could I have someone as stupid as you under me." Leng Ruoxue said with some resentment.

  "I know, I know, the law of nature is the law of the great nature!" Yan Yan flew to Feng Da's side and said.

  "Whether it's animals, plants or humans, in short, any species must follow the rules of nature. The law of nature." Yan Yan continued to explain that it was the wood spirit Zhu Que, no one knew more about nature than it did.

  "Oh." Feng Da still didn't quite get it, but in order to avoid being looked down upon by his own young mistress, he pretended to understand anyway... Ugh, this little bird had really struck a blow at him.

  "Why should we let those stinky dragons take advantage of us, Snow Sister?" Feng Ling'er asked with a puzzled expression, feeling very indignant.

  "Of course it's for casting a long line and catching big fish." Leng Ruoxue explained with a light smile.

  "What does the master mean, will the dragon tribe agree to that condition?" Feng Miao asked somewhat uncertainly, earlier they had studied outside for a long time and didn't quite understand why their master wanted to show weakness, after all, with the Phoenix tribe's strength, they were not afraid of the Dragon tribe at all.

  "Hmm, I can promote the Holy Beast's rank, this bait is big enough." Lan Ruoxue said confidently, with such conditions, it's likely that no beast would be able to refuse.

  "Master, our Phoenix Clan also has many ninth-level Sacred Beasts." Feng Zhan reminded aloud, if all of the Phoenix Clan could advance to become Sacred Beasts, what a powerful force that would be!

  "I've long been prepared." Leng Ruoxue took out a jade bottle and handed it to Feng Zhan, her own beast, how could she possibly forget.

  "Thank you, Master. I'll arrange for them to be promoted as soon as I return." Feng Zhan hastily took over the jade bottle and put it away, his face filled with excitement.

  "No rush, let me refine the Xiyuan Dan first, then I'll let them advance!" Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and said. In comparison, her brother's matter was more important. After waiting for so long, her genius brother could finally recover!

  Feng Zhan nodded slightly with some embarrassment, he was a bit anxious!

  After returning to the residence of the Feng tribe, Leng Ruoxue took Feng Da and Grandfather into the 'Qiankun Chui' and directly entered the Purple Bamboo House.

  "Where is this?" Feng Da stood foolishly in space, muttering to himself in a daze, "It's so beautiful here..."

  "Captain!" Lin Yuan crawled behind Feng Da and shouted loudly.

  "Huh? Lin Yuan, what are you doing here?" Feng Da asked in surprise.

  "And us!" Everyone emerged from their hiding places.

  "What's going on here?!" Feng Da was startled by the crowd and couldn't help but ask curiously after he came to his senses.

  "Captain, listen to me slowly and I'll tell you!" Lin Yuan pulled Feng Da aside and told him everything that had happened over this period of time...

  The two of them chatted idly on the side, while the curious old man walked over to Leng Qingtian and Lin Liang.

  "What are you two doing?" The old man asked curiously, these two old guys stared at the purple bamboo house without blinking, what's the use? Can you see the flowers?

  "Go away and play on your own." Leng Qingtian waved his hand and said, as if shooing a fly.

  "Shut up, don't make a mess! Xiao Xue is refining the elixir!" Lin Liang didn't have the mood to joke with the old man either. He was nervous, his heart racing, this was a big deal concerning his precious disciple after all!

  "Is being calm and composed not the same as refining elixirs? Must you all be so jittery?" The old man said with some exasperation, sighing, "Indeed, worrying leads to chaos!"

  Compared to the tension between the two people outside, Leng Ruo Xue in the Purple Bamboo House was very calm.

  After entering the alchemy room, she didn't rush to start refining immediately, but instead took out the alchemy formula first.

  The level of Xiuyuan Dan was not high, and it did not pose any difficulty for her. However, to be cautious, she carefully read through it several times to avoid missing anything.

  Then, Leng Ruo Xue took out the medicine materials that had been prepared long ago and brought out the alchemy furnace, officially starting to refine the dan.

  Igniting the dan furnace, after preheating, Cold-as-Snow carefully placed the medicinal materials in sequence into the dan furnace. After the materials dissolved and transformed into ***, she began to purify and condense the elixir...

  After the final step was completed, the unique fragrance of the elixir slowly wafted out from the furnace. Cold-as-snow opened the elixir furnace and took out more than a dozen crystal-like, round and smooth silver-white elixirs that resembled pearls, and placed them in a specially made jade bottle.

  After completing the refining of Xiyuan Dan, Leng Ruo Xue immediately took the elixir and left this place.

  As soon as she came out of the Purple Bamboo House, Leng Ruo Xue saw two pairs of shining eyes staring at her eagerly, their faces tense with anticipation.

  Seeing the expressions of Grandfather and Lin Grandfather, Leng Ruo Xue couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

  "It's done." Leng Ruo Xue said directly to the two of them without beating around the bush.

  Leng Qingtian and Lin Liang let out a collective sigh of relief after hearing Leng Ruoxue's words.

  "Qing Jue, let Brother out!" Leng Ruo Xue ordered Qing Jue, who was not far away. In order to capture that colorful butterfly, Qing Jue actually sacrificed Brother's good looks. Alas!

  "Alright." The pale and tender small hand of the Green Lord waved lightly, and he appeared in front of everyone with a cold expression. Of course, the lecherous butterfly was with him as well.

  "Hmph! So you've finally decided to let me out, have you? I'm suffocating, luckily there's a stunningly handsome man to keep me company." Butterfly couldn't help but start complaining as soon as he left the prison.

  "Shut up." Leng Ruoxue yelled, unable to bear it any longer.

  "Girl, be gentle, you must be gentle!" A butterfly shining with light fluttered its wings and flew in front of Leng Ruoxue, advising her with a serious tone.

  "Scram!" Leng Ruoxue directly roared at He Dong, she didn't want to see this mentally unstable butterfly at all.

  "Girl..." The butterfly looked at Leng Ruo Xue with tears in her eyes, and the small black eyes were full of grievance.

  "Xiao Zi, come back." Leng Ruo Han said softly, his bright and clear eyes filled with helplessness.

  "Oh." The butterfly, though very unwilling, still obediently flew back to Leng Ruo Han's side.

  Isn't it that Brother Nan has tamed this butterfly? Seeing the butterfly listening to Leng Ruo Han's words, Leng Ruo Xue couldn't help but become curious.

  "Brother, the Xiuyuan Dan has been successfully refined. You can recover your spiritual power now." Leng Ruoxue looked at her excellent brother and said happily, as for that butterfly thing, let's put it aside for now!

  "Xue Er, thank you." Leng Ruo Han's face was exceptionally calm, but his voice was slightly trembling, revealing his tension.

  "Brother, reshaping your meridians might be a bit painful, you have to bear with it!" Leng Ruoxue handed Leng Ruohan a pill of Repair Origin, reminding him.

  "Hmm." Cold and stern, she nodded slightly, a determined look on her stunning face, then walked towards her residence.

  After a while, the cold and stern room echoed with waves of painful groans...

  Those waiting outside the house, including Leng Ruo Xue, heard this voice and their hearts were all tied up in knots, aching with sorrow.

  "Xue Er, if Han has been in for so long, why hasn't he recovered yet?" Leng Qing Tian paced back and forth anxiously, his face full of worry.

  "Grandfather, rebuilding the meridians is a slow process, don't rush it." Leng Ruoxue comforted, but in fact, her heart was also quite tense. However, this kind of thing couldn't be helped by others, and could only rely on Gege himself.

  "Yes, you're all too tense, relax." The old man advised somewhat helplessly.

  An hour later, the door of the room was opened and Leng Ruohan walked out with a bloody body. Although he looked very disheveled, his face was radiant with a smile that dazzled everyone present.

  "Brother!" Cold Ruo Xue excitedly threw herself into Cold Ruo Han's arms, she knew her brother had succeeded!

  "Xu'er, brother can protect you again." Leng Ruo Han hugged his beloved little sister tightly, happily saying that he could finally cultivate again, and this feeling was really great.

  "Hmm, but I still prefer the feeling of being protected by my brother." Leng Ruoxue nodded and then said with a bit of mischief.

  "You don't have to fight anymore, Grandpa needs the most protection, come and protect Grandpa." Leng Qingtian saw that his grandson was finally better and couldn't help but joke around.

  "Disciple, I also need protection." Lin Liang chimed in, with a somewhat spoiled tone.

  "Hey, you two still don't want to save face? I'm getting goosebumps. Don't disgust me here." The old man jumped up before Cold and Han brothers could speak, accusing them.

  "What's it to you!" Leng Qingtian and Lin Liang said in unison, throwing a glance at the old man.

  "Hehe, brother, let's ignore them and go talk outside." Xue said quietly to Han while the three old men were fighting again.

  "Alright." Han Leng nodded coldly, as a twenty-four filial brother, he naturally had to listen to his sister.

  Leng Ruo Xue took Leng Ruo Han and left 'Qian Kun Chui', appearing in her room.

  "Dai Bai, hurry up and come out to acknowledge your master." Ling Ruo Xue softly called out into the space, the beast that she had prepared for her brother was finally being put to use.

  "They're here." As soon as the words fell, the entire Bai family appeared in front of the two. During this period of time in space, both Bai and his wife had advanced to become eighth-level Holy Beasts, and several little white tigers had also grown up a lot.

  "Contract!" Leng Ruoxue said to Da Bai.

  Gong Baihu nodded his massive head, and was the first to sign the soul contract. His wife and children also signed separate soul contracts with Leng Ruo Han. The contract array formation descended almost simultaneously, and after it disappeared, the contract was formally established.

  "Dai Bai, you can all go back now." Leng Ruo Xue said, and then sent them all back to the ring.

  "Brother, wait a few more days and I'll get you a contract for a few dragons." said Leng Ruoxue, although those dragons were a bit ugly, but their strength was not bad, they could make do.

  "Xue Er, I have enough of them." Leng Ruo Han smiled and said, his face full of satisfaction.

  "They're not even divine beasts yet, brother should at least have one divine beast." Leng Ruoxue said very seriously, their opponents will become stronger and stronger in the future, so the strength of the beasts is very important.

  "Alright, brother will listen to Xue Er." Leng Ruo Han said somewhat helplessly, his face full of doting.

  "Xue Er, you naughty girl, where have you run off to?" Suddenly, a furious roar from Leng Jingtian echoed in Leng Ruoxue's mind.

  "Haha, brother, Grandpa and them have finally discovered that we're gone." said Leng Ruoxue with a delighted smile.

  "Let those three old men come out too, so they won't be anxious." Leng Ruohan said kindly, with a happy smile on his face.

  "Alright, grandfathers, come out!" Leng Ruoxue said to the several old men who were anxiously jumping up and down in space.

  "Xue Er, you little scamp." Leng Qing Tian glared at his granddaughter with wide eyes, as if he could glare a hole through her.

  "Right, Snow, how can you abandon us?" Lin Liang also said with a sorrowful face.

  "Stop pretending, I won't fall for it." Leng Ruoxue steeled herself and turned her face away, refusing to look at their pitiful expressions.

  "Alas! We've grown old and are being spurned by young girls." The old man sighed heavily, saying sorrowfully.

  "Alright, alright, I'm scared of you guys! What do you want to do? Say it!" Leng Ruoxue raised her hands in surrender, she had given up on these three old men. They wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal!

  "Xue Er, now that Ruo Han's injuries have healed, shouldn't we be celebrating?" Leng Qing Tian asked tentatively, his face full of anticipation.

  "I wonder how Grandpa wants to celebrate?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, pretending not to understand. She knew that these old men were craving for something.

  "Hey Xue Yaotou, do you still have python meat?" Lin Liang asked, swallowing his saliva lightly.

  "Do you want to eat?"

  "Hmm." Three pairs of expectant eyes were all fixed tightly on Leng Ruoxue.

  "Let's go out and eat!" Leng Ruoxue said straightforwardly.

  "Good." The three old men had no opinion, as long as they could eat, the location didn't matter.

  Leng Ruoxue sent them back into the 'Qiankun Ring' and then left the wooden house.

  After arriving at the mountain valley where she had last advanced in rank, Leng Ruoxue released everyone and all the beasts from her sleeve.

  "Miss, I have another python here." Feng Da walked up to Leng Ruo Xue and said with a treasured tone.

  "It's just right, with so many people and beasts, I'm still afraid it won't be enough." After Cold Snow finished explaining to Feng Da, she entered the ring again.

  "Qing Jue, where's Xiao Diao?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with some curiosity.

  "He's guarding the fire lotus."

  “……”

  Leng Ruo Xue listened to Qing Jue's words and came to the field where the fire lotus was planted. Indeed, she saw that silver small fox, motionless in front of the fire lotus. Seeing this, her heart felt a bit uncomfortable. This little fox wasn't the one that liked to stick close to her? Was this fire lotus its mother?

  "Xiao Diao, what are you doing here?" Leng Ruo Xue asked irritably, her tone also unpleasant.

  "Xuě ér, you came." The silver little fox looked up at Lěng Ruò Xuě for a moment, then lowered its small head again, staring at the fire lotus.

  "Do you plan on staying here forever?" Leng Ruoxue shouted, her voice tinged with jealousy, yet she didn't realize that she was actually being influenced by the Fire Lotus.

  "It's very important." The small, silver fox said in a low voice, praying silently in his heart, hurry up and grow up! As long as he grows into a thousand-year-old fire lotus, he can survive.

  "It's very important, but that doesn't mean you have to guard it here, Qing Jue will take good care of it." Leng Ruo Xue said, suppressing her anger. She knew how important Huo Lian was, but for some reason, seeing this little fox guarding it made her feel uncomfortable.

  "Xuě ér, what's wrong with you?" The silver little fox was puzzled, where did Xuě ér get this temper from?

  "You're not allowed to stay here." Leng Ruo Xue said coldly as she picked up Xiao Diao who was lying on the ground.

  "Oh!" The silver fox lightly responded with a sound, huh... Is Xue'er displeased with him? He started to think wildly again.

  Leng Ruo Xue hugged Xiao Duan and left with her. After they went out, they saw that everyone had already prepared almost everything.

  "Miss, for you." Feng Da handed a piece of cleaned meat to Leng Ruo Xue's hand.

  "Thank you." Leng Ruo Xue hugged Xiao Diao and sat down on the ground, putting the meat over the fire to roast.

  "Sister, baby wants to eat too." The baby snuggled up close to Leng Ruoxue's side and said in a spoiled tone.

  "Not yet, don't worry." Leng Ruoxue cooed, gently stroking the soft fur of the little one, wondering in her heart why all her beasts were so adorable.

  After the meat was roasted, she divided it among Xiaotuan and BaoBao.

  "Be careful of scalding." Seeing the baby gobbling down food, Leng Ruo Xue hastily reminded.

  "Why aren't you eating?" Leng Ruo Xue turned her gaze to the little fox in her arms and asked.

  "Feed me!" The little silver fox pouted with its tender pink mouth, and coquettishly said, but in its heart it kept telling itself, Xue Er won't dislike me, she won't!

  "Open your mouth!" Cold-as-snow reluctantly tore off a small piece of meat and fed it to the little fox, coaxing it.

  "It smells so good." The little silver fox licked its small mouth, happily saying, and also used its fluffy face to rub against the cold and beautiful face of Xue, feeling extremely satisfied.

  She gently stroked the soft fur of the little raccoon dog, looking at its contented expression, and her previous gloominess was swept away.

  Everyone sat together happily, after eating and drinking enough, Leng Ruoxue sent them all back to the 'Qiankun Chui' again, and returned alone to the territory of the Phoenix Clan.

  After returning to the Phoenix Clan, Leng Ruo Xue directly went to find Feng Zhan.

  "Master, how did you come?" Feng Zhan asked with some curiosity. At this time, shouldn't the master be refining pills?

  "Feng Zhan, go inform them of their promotion." Cold as snow's straightforward words, after the Feng tribe was promoted to divine beast, she stayed for a few days and then prepared to leave.

  "I'm going right now." Feng Zhan said happily, and with a turn of his head, he was gone.

  Dragon Tribe Dragon Island.

  In the grand hall of Long Island, Long Hao sat high in the first place. Below him were ten elders of the dragon clan, including the third elder who was covered with flowers.

  "You all know what happened, now let's hear your thoughts!" Long Hao's sharp golden eyes scanned the elders below him.

  "Your Majesty, we dragon clan are born noble, how can we be driven by humans." The seven elders spoke first, and the old Cang's face was full of disapproval.

  "Does anyone have a different opinion?" Long Haochen's eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he loudly asked, the reactions of the seven Elders were already within his expectations, so it wasn't strange that the old man would oppose him.

  "Your Majesty, if that Cold-as-Snow can indeed help our clansmen advance in rank, acknowledging her subordinate as the superior is not out of the question." An old man with a head full of white hair stood up and said.

  "Second Elder, these words are wrong!" The Seventh Elder heard the old man's words and hurriedly stood up to oppose.

  "Let the Seventh Elder calm down and listen to the Second Elder finish his words." Long Hao interrupted, but in his heart he was thinking that he had already made arrangements and couldn't let this stubborn old man ruin everything.

  "Your Majesty, esteemed elders, please listen to me. Although Cold-as-Snow is only a human, she possesses the elixir that can elevate a sacred beast to a divine beast. Everyone should be aware of how difficult it is for a sacred beast to ascend to a divine beast. Furthermore, now that the Phoenix King has acknowledged her as its master, I believe it won't take long before the Phoenix Clan's power surpasses ours. Do you really wish to see such a situation unfold?" The Second Elder exclaimed with fervor, and he brought up the Phoenix Clan precisely because he knew these elders would not want to see the Phoenix Clan become more powerful than them.

  "I think the Second Elder is right." The other Elders also nodded in agreement, saying that although Long and Feng were not sworn enemies, they were absolutely not friends either. In fact, the grudge between the two clans had been going on for a long time, so as soon as they met, they would start fighting.

  "Hmph! Who knows if Leng Ruoxue's hands really hold that kind of elixir." Qi Changlao said with a face full of disbelief.

  "Hasn't Huo personally verified it? Can there be any falsehoods? Moreover, he said this himself." The Second Elder hastily said, implying that if you don't believe humans, do you not even trust your own kind?

  "He has already acknowledged humans as the main authority, of course he will help humans speak." The Seventh Elder snorted and argued, anyway, he just disagreed.

  "Seventh Elder, what do you mean by this? Are you suggesting that my son would lie?" The Third Elder asked with a displeased expression, his own son had finally made something of himself and yet he was still being doubted, humph! This is utterly unreasonable!

  "I didn't mean it like that." The Seventh Elder hastily denied, he still didn't want to provoke this violent dragon.

  "Stop arguing, this matter must be reconsidered. Let's take a look first before speaking!" The usually silent Great Elder spoke with a decisive tone, and as soon as he did, all the other Elders dared not speak again.

  Alas! Just a little short! Long Hao was depressed, the Great Elder held a high position in the Dragon Clan and had watched him grow up. So, if the Great Elder didn't approve, he wouldn't dare force it. However, since the Great Elder hadn't said anything definitive, that meant there was still hope.

  At this moment, the sky outside the grand hall suddenly became dazzlingly bright, with rays of light flashing non-stop.

  Long Hao and others hastily ran out of the main hall.

  "Your Majesty, it is the heavenly rule of Jinjie." The two elders looked up at the sky and said. Recently, there have been frequent descents of the heavenly rules, but in the past few times, they didn't notice where they were, whereas this time, the place where the rule descended was clearly within the territory of the Phoenix Clan.

  "Damn it, those dead birds actually all got promoted." Long Hao looked at the heavenly rules descending from high above, his heart filled with indignation, and turned back to the main hall with a huff.

  "Your Majesty, it's just as I expected!" The Second Elder said with a knowing look on his face.

  "Is there anything else you elders want to say? Seventh Elder?" Long Hao asked fiercely, directly calling out his name.

  "In front of this fact, even the seven elder's stubborn and unyielding attitude was somewhat stuttered."

  "Your Majesty, if there are those among the dragon tribe who wish to acknowledge humans as their masters, then let them go!" The Great Elder spoke up, he didn't want to see Your Majesty venting all his anger on the elders.

  "Second Elder, I'll leave this matter in your hands." Long Hao directly ordered.

  "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will handle this matter properly." The two elders hurriedly said, what a good thing! Who knows what else the little girl has in her hands? He also wants to exchange some.

  Phoenix Territory

  The people of the Phoenix tribe who had just been promoted to divine beasts were all happily surrounding Leng Ruo Xue, their faces full of gratitude.

  "Sister, Yan Yan also wants to advance and become a divine beast." Yan Yan flew around Leng Ruo Xue's side, chirping non-stop.

  "Yan Yan, you're still underage." Leng Ruo Xue patted Yan Yan's little head, comforting him.

  "When will I be able to grow up?..."

  "Flames, don't make a fuss." Feng Zhan gently scolded, holding the noisy little guy in his own arms.

  "Feng Zhan, I'm back."

  Leng Ruo Xue finished speaking and walked towards her own residence. Having gained so many benefits just now, she had to go back and consolidate them.
