There was a moment of silence on the school grounds in front of the mountain forest, with only warm sunlight and the rustling sound of leaves blown by the wind in the trees.
Yunmian nervously raised her eyes to look at Huang Hou Niangniang, and in her opinion, this moment of silence seemed particularly long.
The queen was already surprised when she heard her call out her own name, stunned for a long time, before saying: "Tuantuan... you remembered?"
Yunmian saw the situation and became happy, loosened the bell in his mouth, and excitedly jumped on Feng Huang's hand, shouting: "Wow!"
The phoenix's eyes lit up with surprise: "Really? You really remembered? Do you still remember my name is Fei Xia?"
"Ahhhroo!"
Yunmian nodded with effort.
At first, she really didn't remember anything. Her memories before awakening were very vague. She only vaguely remembered that a beautiful woman had sent her Lingling, given her a name, and taken care of her, but it was hard to recall her face until just now when she saw the figure of Feng Huang saving her, and gradually recalled the golden red color from back then.
Yunmian exclaimed happily: "Feixia! Your name is Feixia! You made me remember not to forget, I still remember..."
Phoenix Queen was overjoyed: "Tuantuan!"
"Ahhhroo!"
Yunmian happily jumped around, Fenghuang was momentarily excited and suddenly hugged her into his arms!
Yunmian didn't mind being hugged at all and quickly rubbed her ears against her, excitedly wagging her tail.
At this time, the immortal officials and young masters who were still on the school grounds, including Wen Ting, were all staring blankly at the scene in front of them, unaware of what had happened.
Wen Ting had also tried to rush up to save Yun Mian earlier, but his speed was no match for Huang Hou's, who was more powerful and skilled in flight. He could only watch in astonishment as Feng Huang Hou made a swift and forceful dash upwards to rescue Yun Mian. Just then, he heard murmurs of discussion coming from behind him——
Everyone who has been listening to the rumors from Wen Zhi Xiaozi for some time now is shocked by the intimate scene between Feng Huang and Yunmian in front of them. One of them exclaimed, "So, it's true that the little fox who made Feng Huang travel thousands of miles from Nan Yesan to Qingqiu to find someone is actually our young master's wife?!"
"It seems like it should be!"
"Didn't Madame Young and her husband seem fine after seeing Feng Huang Huang? Did she really not remember anything herself?"
"Come to think of it, during the fairy banquet earlier, I also saw Feng Huang'er taking Tuan Tuan out for a walk alone..."
These few masters and servants heard what was said in the courtyard, had also heard before, and had made guesses, but were not clear about the specific situation. At this time, seeing Yunmian being rescued by Fenghuanghou's powerful move, he was playing happily with his opponent, and he couldn't help but purse his lips, taking big strides to walk to the Phoenix Clan official standing on the other side, and asked: "Did Fenghuanghou come to Qingqiu specifically to find Yunmian?"
Feng Guan had indeed heard rumors about Huang Hou's intentions, and when asked, he smiled slightly and nodded: "It seems that it should be. In the past two years, after the war in Nan Yu Mountain, there were many important things to attend to, and Huang Hou didn't have much opportunity to worry about her own affairs. However, although Huang Hou didn't mention it much, everyone in Nan Yu Xian City knew that when she was seriously injured and fell to the ground, she was saved by a small fox. We don't know exactly what happened, but we do know that Huang Hou wasn't familiar with the terrain of Qing Qiu Mountain, so she herself wasn't very clear about where she had fallen. After returning to Nan Yu Mountain, when she had some free time, she immediately asked Fox Official, who had dealings with Qing Qiu, to investigate the terrain and find out what happened to the small fox. It was said that after two years, they finally found out, but after learning of the small fox's identity, Huang Hou hesitated and there was no movement for a long time.
Two years ago, it was the time when Jin Hong and his group of young phoenixes arrived at Qingqiu East Mountain. At that time, Feng Huang must have already guessed the general location where she had stayed before through the terrain of Qingqiu. During Yun Mian's time, there were indeed some conflicts with the Phoenix Clan officials due to the golden bell on her neck, and it seems that was when the news spread to Nan Yu Mountain.
Wen Ting looked at Yun Mian in surprise, who was playing happily with Feng Huang. Her clear eyes were filled with joy, as if she hadn't noticed anyone else around her except for Feng Huang.
The phoenix queen hugged Yun and rubbed her face for a while, then suddenly remembered something and said: "Your leg injury hasn't healed yet, and you just fell from the sky again. The competition with the Phoenix Tribe's officer has also ended, so hurry up and find a doctor to treat and rest it. Tuantuan, I have many things to say to you, but now I must stay here, and there are still important matters afterwards. When I'm free, I'll come looking for you tomorrow."
Yunmian actually wanted to stay and watch the other young masters' servant selection trials, but Empress Phoenix was right.
She fell from the air, although Feng Huang caught her in time and she was not seriously injured. However, the wound she had previously sustained began to throb again due to the exertion of running and flailing about in mid-air. Yunmeng could feel it swelling up once more, and the bandages that had been wrapped around it were now barely holding on. Even the slightest movement caused her a great deal of pain.
Yunmian carefully gathered her injured foot, trying not to touch it, and nodded happily, saying: "I also have a lot of things I want to talk to you about!"
"That's good, I'll get the itinerary sorted out and come find you right away."
The medical officers of the Fox tribe had not left because they knew Yunmian wanted to participate in the second round, but they were also stunned by the sudden situation. After Feng Huang carefully put Yunmian on a soft cushion, the medical officers came to their senses and rushed forward to reapply medicine and bandages for her.
At this time, only the main fox official came forward.
The chief fox officer was also shocked by the previous events, but his face remained calm, pretending not to have seen anything. He loudly said to the young masters and servants who were still looking at Yunmian or anxiously discussing: "Don't be distracted! The assessment is still ongoing, Yunmian Xianzi has already finished, who's next?!"
The young masters and servants were still astonished by the relationship between Yunmian and Fenghuang, but when they heard Master Hu's words, they gradually came back to their senses and hastily turned their heads to look at the arena. The Phoenix tribe's immortal officer also stepped forward again, taking a stance ready for battle.
The examination of the young masters' attendants continued soon.
Wen Ting paused for a moment, seeing that Yun Mian was fine and there was nothing he could do to help. He finally tore his gaze away from Yun Mian's body and reluctantly refocused on the school grounds.
……
After Yunmian went to treat his injuries, it didn't take long for the results of the assessment of the young master's servants to come out. Wen Ting naturally performed much better than others, even in a state of distraction, he was still the only one who could truly make Feng Guan exert himself and even gain an advantage. However, as time passed, the matter of the young master's servant selection seemed to be unimportant, and Wen Ting's mind was more worried about other things.
He quickly returned to the immortal mansion as soon as all the matters related to the trial were over.
Because Yu Ting was still a young master, there were other urgent matters that needed his attention. Even if he used the fastest speed, by the time he returned to the immortal palace, Yun Mian had already been sent back to her bedroom by the medical officer and other immortal officials, where she was lying on the bed recuperating.
As soon as she heard Tingting enter the room, she immediately perked up her ears and struggled to get out of bed, exclaiming: "Wow! Tingting, you're back!"
She gestured to her hind legs and said, "My injuries have been treated again. However, the doctor said that it seems to be more serious than before, so I can only maintain my original form for the next two days and cannot transform into a human body. Probably can't go practice either, maybe just stay in the house eating and reading books."
Yunmian looked like she wasn't very disappointed, and instead took her first steps with a curious expression. The doctor had tied up her injured hind leg to keep it still, but Yunmian would take two steps with three legs, then another two steps, occasionally turning her head back to look at the bound foot.
Wen Ting also transformed into a fox body, jumped up and used his tail to encircle Yun Mian, not letting her move around.
Looking at her moving around like this, her foot should not be hurting much anymore. Wen Ting let out a sigh of relief, but still reminded her: "The doctor's orders are for you to stay still and not move around. If you want anything, I'll go get it for you."
"Hmm."
Yunmian was held in Wenhui's arms, and because Wenhui told her not to move too much, she really didn't dare to move again.
Wen Ting lowered his head and helped her tidy up the fur on her body, asking some questions about her injuries. Only after confirming that Yunmian was fine did he finally feel at ease.
The night color gradually darkened, and Wen Ting suddenly stopped and asked: "Mian'er, you and Feng Huang... what happened back then?"
Yunmian's eyes lit up when she heard the topic of Fenghuang, and she was delighted to say: "I don't remember it clearly either, but Queen Fenghuang gave me my name and sent me a bell, I feel very comfortable by her side."
As she spoke, she was about to show the bell to Wen Ting again.
Wen Ting had seen Jin Yu Ling before, but he didn't expect that the woman whose appearance Yun Mian couldn't recall would actually be Feng Huang Hou, and he was still taken aback.
He said in a low and calm tone: "......I see."
Wen Ting has been in a state of anxiety and worry lately, and now that the matter with Xue Yuan has not been resolved, another Phoenix Queen has appeared, but the specific relationship between Huang Hou and Yun Mian is still unclear.
Mingming Feng was different from Xiyuan, neither a love rival nor a man, and even Ting didn't know why she had such a strong sense of unease.
He lowered his head and licked Yunmian's forehead gently.
Yunmian blinked her eyes open, let out a comfortable "Wu wu" and lifted her head to help him groom his fur.
……
Phoenix hurriedly went to Qingqiu to deal with matters, saying that she would come over quickly to see Yunmian. Starting from the next day, she indeed fulfilled her promise.
Then in the blink of an eye it was five days later.
In the Fox Palace Temple.
"Little ball!"
"Woof woof!"
"How cute!"
"Woof woof!"
"Little treasure is soft and cuddly, who is the softest little fox!"
"Waaaahhh!"
Phoenix happily sat on the beauty chair, holding Yunmian in her arms and playing with her. Excitedly, she would lift Yunmian high above her head one moment, and then hug her tightly and rub her belly the next. Yunmian was delighted to be with Phoenix, and she eagerly jumped up and down on Phoenix's legs, flapping her small paws nonstop.
Phoenix came to play with Yunmian a few days ago, but Yunmian had a foot injury before and couldn't move around, so they could only chat simply. However, after the bandage on Yunmian's foot was removed yesterday, she recovered and also became lively when playing with Phoenix.
Two people played extremely carefree and extremely skilled.
Wen Ting stood at the gate of the immortal palace, looking rather complicated.
Yunmian seems very used to playing with Fenghuanghou together, and it's clear that they've been doing this for a long time.
Those were things that happened before he met Yunmian, parts that he didn't understand or was unfamiliar with. But Yunmian's appearance was very natural, she and Fenghuanghou stayed together, showing great intimacy, Wen Ting even felt that it seemed more intimate than when he was with Yunmian.
At this time, Feng Huang even let Yunmian play with her tail feathers. Yunmian had always been fascinated by the flowing tail of Feng Huang when she soared in the sky. So, Feng Huang showed off her tail feathers, elegantly trailing them behind her skirt. Yunmian curiously walked along, occasionally tapping Feng Huang's tail with his paws and carefully moving his steps on top of it.
After seeing Yunmian and Feng Huang getting along better than he had imagined, Wen Ting couldn't help but feel a little surprised. However, looking at Yunmian playing with Feng Huang's tail, he paused, and then looked back at himself with some sourness.
If Yunmian wants to play with his tail, his tail is also available for Yunmian to play with.
Although Yunmian himself also has a fox tail, his tail is at least nine tails.
Wen Ting silently and lonely held his white tail in his hand, pinched it to try the feel, felt a bit sad in his heart, but on the surface he was still a clear and cold noble young master, without much expression.
At the same time, Yunmian had already rolled over on the tail of Fenghuang.
The queen looked at Yunmian, who was rolling around like a small ball, and explained with a smile: "The peacock's tail feathers only have flowing colors when flying in the air. Maybe it has something to do with the immortal energy on our bodies. It can't be seen indoors, but the peacock's feathers won't fall off. You can touch them and see."
Even without the flowing tail feathers, in Yunmian's eyes, it was already beautiful enough. Behind Fenghuang was a golden phoenix, her feathers were as if stained with sunlight, not all of them were the same golden color, but rather deep and shallow, extremely layered, every move exuded an air of luxury.
Yunmian tried to match the color of the bell on her neck with the golden feathers of the phoenix.
The phoenix smiled and explained, "Right, the golden bell on your body is made from the feathers of my wings. I hid a thread of aura in it, but ordinary people can't easily detect it, even those of the same phoenix clan. Speaking of which... this thread of aura seems to have helped you before?"
"Hmm!"
The Phoenix Queen said that it should be the breath that made all the warriors of the Phoenix clan kneel on the ground in front of her.
Before, Yunmian was vaguely aware that this bell was not only beautiful and pleasant to hear, but also a keepsake from an important person, which she liked very much. However, after hearing Feng Huang say it was made from her own feathers, Yunmian felt that this thing might be quite formidable. She looked down at the bell with a shocked expression.
"Speaking of which..."
The phoenix touched the sleeping cloud's head and said, "It's been four years since I gave you that bell, hasn't it? Tuan Tuan, how old are you this year?"
Yunmian raised her head and replied cheerfully: "Tingting calculated that I was born in the first month, after passing the New Year's festival, I'll be 17 years old!"
At this age, Feng Huang couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Although the little fox still looked like a small ball of fur, to be honest, she was also a slender and elegant young girl.
The phoenix queen gently stroked her head, slowed down her voice, and asked formally: "You're not young anymore, it's time to go out and have a look around. Tuantuan, I've asked you before, do you want to come with me to Nan'gu Xiancheng?"
