Against the Gods Chapter 423 – Leaving Phoenix Perching Valley

Chapter 423 Leaving Phoenix Perching Valley

After a long while, Yun Che finally thought of the following storyline. He cleared his throat, and just as he was about to narrate, the Phoenix God Jade hung in front of her chest suddenly flickered with a scarlet-colored light.

Feng Xueer took up the Phoenix God Jade, her expression, suddenly became somewhat sullen.

Xueer, what is it? Yun Che immediately asked.

Feng Xueer looked at Yun Che, and said with a pitiful expression in her eyes: Its royal father... Hes about to come here right now, then take me back to Phoenix City. Big Brother Yun...

...Why is he taking you back right now? Your royal father making you stay here alone, wasnt it because hell be busy with the matter of the Ranking Tournament and Primordial Profound Ark. But right now should be the time hes the busiest. Yun Che said somewhat puzzled.

Feng Xueer lightly shook her head: Royal father had said, this is the first Seven Nation Ranking Tournament ever since my birth, and hell take me there on-site. If Im willing, he can even take me onto the Primordial Profound Ark. Royal father taking me back now, should be because all of the affairs have been properly prepared.

You will go... to the site of the Ranking Tournament? Yun Ches heart slightly shook.

Mn... Big Brother Yun, quickly leave this place. If royal father sees you here, itll be... itll be bad. Feng Xueer stood up, her expression somewhat panicky. She grabbed Yun Ches arm, but didnt push him away, rather, unwittingly gripped tighter.

There were three days left from the start of the Ranking Tournament; in fact, he shouldve left a long time ago. The reason as to why he hadnt yet left, he knew very well in his heart... It was because he wasnt willing to part with Feng Xueer. Her features, voice, heart, every single look, every single expression in her eyes, were all firmly attracting him, making it as if he were sucked into an endlessly beautiful starry sky, sinking deeper and deeper within.

In this world, no one can withstand her charm... And Yun Che, due to an accident stemming from many causes, with extraordinary luck, became the first person who could make close range contact with her.

Its indeed time for me to leave. Yun Che exclaimed in his heart. Attentively watching Feng Xueers eyes flickering with light, he lifted his hand, put it atop Xueers head, as his fingers slowly slid off along the contour of her hair... This unduly intimate action, caused Feng Xueers eyes to only tremble a bit. But, she did not show any signs of rejection: Xueer, these days, I will always remember. Thank you, and thank the heavens for letting me meet you.

...Big Brother Yuns words are so weird. Feng Xurer minted her charming lips: Later, we will still meet again, isnt that right?

Of course. Yun Che smilingly nodded: Because Ive already promised to take Xueer to see the endlessly flowing snow. My promise to Xueer, will never be forgotten.

Mn! Feng Xueer nodded, her expression finally becoming somewhat cheerful. Her eyes carried unwillingness to part, yet her hands were gently pushing Yun Che: Even though, I really hate to part with Big Brother Yun, it really is time for Big Brother Yun to leave... Royal father will arrive here in less than a quarter of an hour. If you still dont leave, youll really be discovered by royal father.

...Im going. Yun Ches hand moved away from Feng Xueers shoulders. After glancing at her with incredible meticulousness, he finally turned around, then called over the Snow Phoenix Beast.

Snow Phoenix Beast flew up to him, and just as he was about to hop onto Snow Phoenix Beasts back, Yun Che stopped in his steps. He turned around, his hands quietly clutched tight, and at last he still said in a small voice: Xueer, if... lets say if one day, you found out... I have lied to you about some things, will you hate me? Will you still consider me your Big Brother Yun?

Ah? Yun Ches sudden words, made Feng Xueer a little at a loss: Why would Big Brother Yun say such a weird thing? How is it possible for Big Brother Yun to deceive me?

Im saying, just if... if there are some things, I really have deceived you on, would you hate me? Yun Ches voice became even quieter; a sentence that wasnt lengthy, yet was spoken with extraordinary difficulty.

I... I dont know. Feng Xueer shook her head, the expression in her eyes was somewhat stumped, as if she couldnt understand the question Yun Che had put forward. She lightly spoke: But, in these days together with Big Brother Yun, what I have felt are all Big Brother Yuns kindness toward me. Snowing for me every day, teaching me how to build snowmen, cooking delicious food for me, telling me many interesting stories... Big Brother Yuns smile is pretty, and his gaze is also very gentle. These days, Ive been so happy every day, even the dreams I dream when sleeping, had become very blissful.

Yun Che: ...

This kind of Big Brother Yun, I dont believe he would be willing to deceive me. Even if... even if he really deceived me, then he mustve had no other choice, and not in order to harm me. Every single word of Feng Xueer, was sincere and relaxed; this was the voice coming from her heart: I will forever remember Big Brother Yuns kindness, and the matter he promised me... In the future, no matter what happens, I believe that Big Brother Yun will never harm me, and Ill never do anything thatll harm Big Brother Yun either.

The last sentence of Feng Xueer, made Yun Che somewhat puzzled. But even more so, it fiercely stirred up his heart. He no longer spoke, because no matter what he said under Feng Xueers gaze that was as pure as snow, it would be incomparably pale in comparison. He leapt onto the Snow Phoenix Beasts back, took off into the air under Snow Phoenix Beasts carriage, and directly flew toward Absolute Phoenix Cliff. Feng Xueer had already told him, that the other three directions of Phoenix Perching Valley all should have people guarding there. If he were to safely leave without alarming anyone, he would still need to go through Absolute Phoenix Cliff.

Big Brother Yun, Ill come here often in the future... I will wait for Big Brother Yun to appear once again...

Big Brother Yun, you cant forget the words said between us. After Im twenty, you definitely have to take me to Snow Region of Extreme Ice...

Big Brother Yun, Little White, Ill miss you guys very much...

The sound of wind howled beside his ears. Feng Xueers voice came from below against the wind; the voice at last, even carried a sobbing tone that was being repressed with effort.

A few thousand meters in height, wasnt much for Snow Phoenix Beast. Very soon, Absolute Phoenix Cliffs summit appeared before Yun Ches eyes. Yun Che dismounted from Snow Phoenix Beasts back, and stood beside the cliff. Within the dark green colored valley that was like an otherworldly utopia, he could faintly see that fairy-like beautiful silhouette.

She was the princess of Divine Phoenix Empire, the most brilliant jewel of the entire Profound Sky Continent. She had been protected to the utmost limit... But at the same time, she was also lonely... Which was why, in these days he had carelessly intruded into her world, she was so happy and excited.

Little Chan, do you want to accompany her, by her side? With his gaze looking down, Yun Che suddenly spoke.

Screee... Snow Phoenix Beast slapped her wings, and let out a quiet cry. Its majestic head continuously made a few... nodding movements!

Huh? Nodding!?

With an extremely bitter and unsatisfied expression in his eyes, Yun Che gave Snow Phoenix Beast a fierce stare... Even if Xueers charm cant be resisted, even if you really want to stay by her side, you are still my contracted profound beast right nowwwww!!! Cant you be a little bit more reserved, even if you have to fake it a little!

...Forget it.

Yun Ches mouth became askew. He extended his wrist, as the Snow Phoenix Beasts profound imprint emerged on the back. With a thought, the profound energy connection with Snow Phoenix Beast was directly severed. The profound imprint on the back of his hand, also slowly vanished.

Snow Phoenix Beast completely recovered its freedom. It spread its wings and took off, and circled and danced above Yun Ches head, letting out sharp cries that one couldnt tell whether it was from excitement or unwillingness to part.

Seeing the Snow Phoenix Beast that regained freedom, what was more in Yun Ches heart wasnt sadness, but a sort of relaxed feeling. He said with a faint smile: Little Chan, go ahead. Staying with me, you will only face hardships and danger everywhere. Accompanying Xueer, she likes you so much, and will definitely treat you well. You no longer need to suffer laborious hardship with me anymore... Go.

Scree~~~~

A long cry resonantly sliced through the skies. After Snow Phoenix Beast danced and fluttered for a while, it finally descended, and flew toward the Phoenix Perching Valley below. Very soon, those two snow-white colored silhouettes slowly assembled together.

Yun Che let out a faint laugh. After taking another deep glance in the end, he took two steps back, then put away all of his unwillingness to part, and walked toward the south.

Why did you let Snow Phoenix Beast leave? Jasmine couldnt help but ask: You still cant fly right now. Without Snow Phoenix Beast, what will you do when you need to fly?

Yun Che shook his head, and said: Giving the Snow Phoenix Beast to Xueer, isnt just because Xueer likes it. It is because that I dont know whether or not I can successfully preserve my own life during this session of Ranking Tournament. If I am unlucky... At least Snow Phoenix Beast doesnt need to die together with me. Not only can it be saved, it can be considered a tiny bit of repayment to Xueer... Her heart was sincere toward me, yet I, still have deceived her after all thats said and done.

Hmph... Jasmine sneered: Deceiving girls, isnt that your habitual method of doing things! You had never been so conscious of your guilt before, isnt that so.

Thats not the same. Yun Che curled his lips: Conquering and deception are two entirely different concepts, a little girl like you wouldnt understand.

... Jasmine was disdained to reply, and asked conversely: On the matter of whether or not you can keep your life, I actually have good news to tell you.

Good news?

Jasmine said indifferently: If Im guessing correctly, after your Phoenix bloodline was found out by Divine Phoenix Sect, what you dread the most isnt Divine Phoenix Sect, but the true progenitor of Divine Phoenix Sect... the other Phoenix Spirit, just like the Phoenix Spirit you met at the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range back then.

Yun Ches footsteps stalled a little, then he slowly nodded: You are entirely correct. Back then, when I left the Phoenixs trial grounds, the Phoenix Spirit had also warned severely, that I must be cautious of the other Phoenix Spirits existence. Divine Phoenix Sects Phoenix Spirit had always thought the Phoenix Spirit who granted me heritage was killed by it a long time ago. If it found out that the Phoenixs bloodline in me stems from another Phoenixs legacy... Then, the one who will be harmed, will not only be myself. The Phoenix Spirit of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, as well as the Phoenix tribe who just recently broke away from their curse, may also encounter a great disaster. Yun Che uttered a low sigh: Yet with the bloodlines exposure, there would be no other choice but to face Divine Phoenix Sect as soon as possible. Otherwise, the ones who will be implicated would be people at my side... So, on the way here from the Blue Wind Nation, I had always prayed for that phoenix beast to always be residing in the dark, and wont have any interest to probe into affairs of the Ranking Tournament.

About this Phoenix Spirit, theres already no need for you to worry. Jasmine said emotionlessly.

Why?

Because... its already dead!

What? Dead? Yun Ches footsteps stopped at once: Are you sure? Wait! How did you know its dead?

Heh... Jasmine laughed insidiously: You dont need to mind how I found out. It shouldnt be too long since its death, but I am certain that it has already died! However, even though it died, theres a high chance that the bloodline and memories have been passed on. So, in this world, there are perhaps still people who can discern that your bloodline comes from another Phoenixs legacy.

Yun Ches spirit was instantly roused up. Words spoken by Jasmine in such a confidence tone, naturally he wouldnt doubt them: Very well! If Divine Phoenix Sects Phoenix Spirit really has died, then, my greatest worry is also gone! Like this, during the Ranking Tournament, I will be able to perform without any worries of future consequences!

And so? How confident are you to make Divine Phoenix Sect no longer find trouble for you, and also survive?

Seventy percent! Yun Che said with swelling confidence: Perhaps, Id even be able to go for a stroll on that mysterious Primordial Profound Ark!
