All worried and anticipating in his eyes, the little fox faces the bird immediately: Squeak (Little Crow, are you willing to be my little wife?)

In response, Little Crow only blushed while she nodded.

As a member of the Phoenix race, its only normal for the girl to want to be beautiful.

Others may not know this but the poor girl definitely did. Theres been multiple occasions where she would hide alone in a corner to cry by herself over the fact that shes not naturally born beautiful like the rest of her race.

Fortunately, she had her own knight in shining armor whenever her mood became depressed.

If you cant find someone to take you in the future then I will. I wont dislike you for your appearance. Those were the words the little guy would always say to her, giving her comfort and support until this day.

Squeak (Little wifey hug) Breaking out from his tearful appearance to utter joy, the little fella proudly cocks his head up like a victorious general.

Its been a while since he last squirmed into Ling Yues dress after Wu Chong openly threatened him, now that hes got a wifey to do that instead, its only normal that the troublemaker would jump onto the opportunity.

A while later after a bit of fun.

When Ling Yue finally came out of her pocket dimension and brought Little Crow before everyone, there were definitely a wave of astonishment among the crowd.

Theres nothing surprising about a phoenix taking human form, theyve seen it enough times already in the past when Little Crow transformed. But whats up with the Lolita appearance? Thats the real reason why they were all so gobsmacked at the moment.

And as an extra measure of consideration, the background story they would be using from now on would be an orphan girl adopted by Ling Yue. Towards this decision, everyone was surprisingly unified in this front.

But not everything was going perfectly smooth of course. It didnt take long for the news of Chen Minzhis body disappearing from its original spot to reach their ears after a battle alchemist rushed over to report.

The other bodies of the Kai Jiang Manor have all been cremated so there wouldnt be any traces left to point the incident in our direction. The only strange thing is that persons corpse being missing. I suspect some of the spirit beasts in the forest had gotten to it before us when we left the other day. After some speculation, this was the only plausible conclusion Abone could come up with.

Although the wild girl did question some of her animal friends to get to the bottom of this, but the answer they gave were a clear no. Nevertheless, the fact that Chen Minzhi murdered many of their comrades were a fact, its justifiable in everyones mind that the perpetrator did it out of hatred and refused to admit it.

Now, with everything done and over here with, Ling Yue figured its time she too would leave the ancient forest considering how late they were. Theyre already behind on schedule due to this episode, its imperative her party made haste even if Jin Wu Monster and Abone had to stay behind. But unbeknownst to the girl herself though, there were some discrepancies to that assumption.

Its true Xia Hou Qi and his party did take the main road while her group took the off-beaten path, but no one could have foreseen a giant rainstorm delaying the main party. In the end, both groups were able to make it to their final destination of North Qings capital with half a month to spare before the Star Cave Venture begins.

If Da Xias capital were to be described as a fair maiden in a lovely township then the capital of North Qing also known as Di Shing City would be a noblemans daughter of exemplary grandeur.

Your Highness, further up ahead is Di Shing City. The one speaking on horseback was none other than Hong Ming Yue. Due to Luo Songs treasured gourd being badly damaged during that fight in Underground City #9, the girl had no choice but to accompany the rest of the party using the horses. Otherwise, flying just by herself would be a great insult to not only her senior, but to the prince as well.

In response to the report, Xia Hou Qi only gave a small mumble of confirmation because he didnt care for any of this. The only thing bothering his mind was the fact that the one person that he yearns for hadnt been seen at all during the entire way here.

He knew Ling Yue had to return to Moon City first before riding out, thats why he deliberately slowed down their speed along the journey. But even when they are already at North Qings capital the girl was nowhere to be seen. If he said he wasnt worried and disappointed then its a lie.

Towards the absent-minded appearance of the boy, Princess Qing Bi would of course take notice since shes so obsessed with him, which manifested into a deep frown on that pretty face. However, the sadness didnt take long to leave the princesss face when a certain carriage came into sight up ahead.

Isnt that the Phoenix Manors carriage? Could it be, Brother Feng Shen is here!

In response to the girls outcry, the reaction among her party members were very different depending on who it was. The most joyful would have to be Hong Yu Ying because the only reason she begged her parents to let her join in on this venture was all because of the boy. Whatever Star Cave Venture was just an added bonus in this lovestruck girls eye.

As royalty and cousins with Qing Bi, Feng Shens relationship with the bratty princess would of course be decent. Thats why, when that excessively lively voice rang across the air, the boy first reaction he had was to open his resting eyes to peek out for the source.

Perhaps its due to the fact that he was on his own turf again, but Feng Shens temperament was definitely different from when he was in Da Xia. Still the same gentle smile, still the same frail looking lad, yet the aura coming off of his existence, whats the word. Its oppressive and intimidating. Yes, the same kind of powerful pressure only found among kings!

You are already a big girl Qing Bi, how can you still act like a child at your age. Though the way the lad said it sounded friendly and kind like a doting brother, but thats only on the surface and never reached his eyes.

Besides, the one girl that he wants to meet was nowhere to be seen still, how could he possibly be happy?

Brother Feng Shen is still the same as before No, you are even better looking than before. As expected of our North Qings number one handsome gentleman. Towards this cousin of hers, Qing Bi was both infatuated and fearful at the same time.

Although Feng Shen was only three years older than herself, and hes extremely favored by the king, but the princess always had this notion that she mustnt cross him in light of never being threatened in any way. Qing Bi herself didnt know why she thought this way either, its just the way it was since she was little and thats how it remains even to this day.

You are still so unobtrusive in that tongue of yours, the same as ever. Thinking back on it, due to the management of the businesses under him and the constant visits to Da Xia, Feng Shen had just realized he hadnt seen this cousin of his since she was ten.

Taking this all in, Xia Hou Qi remains as absent-minded as ever, just that a layer of gloom was starting to hover above that face over his rivals appearance.

Prince Hou Qi, everyone, its been a while. Finally landing his sight on the rest, Feng Shen took the initiative to greet them all.

Your Highness is too polite. As the master of the Phoenix Manor and the owner of so many businesses, its truly an honor to have you come pick us up. Not waiting for the one who should be answering, Hong Yu Ying ran ahead of Xia Hou Qi to speak on behalf of the crowd.

That lovestruck eye said it all, shes already lost it.

Naturally this untimely and ill-mannered action would cause some frowns, but it was Hong Ming Yue who suffered the most. Its outright embarrassing so the ice beauty was already cursing the heck out of her dumb elder sister inside.
