Ji Shen finished three bowls of noodles in one go. If it weren't for Woo Sheng stopping him, he would have continued eating.
"Xiaoyao …" Ji Shen looked at Ye Zhen pitifully. "I was wrong."
Ye Rou laughed. "I'll cook beef noodles for you next time."
Ji Mo's eyes lit up, and he almost came over to hug Ye Zhen. "Little Yao, you are the best."
"Don't come over." Ye Zhen stopped him. He looked like a bear. If he really hugged her, she would die.
"Let's go back," Wolong Sheng said with a smile.
When Ye Zhen followed them back to the inn, she saw Fire Phoenix and Guan Jie at the door. The two were squatting on the left and right, looking equally aggrieved and unhappy.
"Yaoyao!" The Fire Phoenix was the first to notice Ye Zhen's return. She immediately rushed up to her. "Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
Guan Jie couldn't fly, but his qinggong was excellent. He soon arrived in front of Ye Zhen. Instead of holding her arm like the fire phoenix, he just looked at her with a frown.
"Why are you outside?" Ye Zhen asked helplessly. "Didn't I tell you to rest early?"
"He's noisy!" Guan Jie pointed at Fire Phoenix, his eyes full of accusation.
Fire Phoenix didn't feel guilty at all. "I was bored, so I went to chat with him."
"He set the fire." Guan Jie continued to complain. He was sleeping soundly when his blanket suddenly caught fire. He extinguished the fire and ran out of the door to see the Fire Phoenix.
"Smelly bird, you are actually so despicable and shameless!" Ji Shen shouted at the Fire Phoenix when he heard Guan Jie's words.
Fire Phoenix snorted contemptuously and stood behind Ye Zhen, making a face at Ji Shen.
Guan Jie looked at the fire phoenix expressionlessly. There were still ashes on his face, but the anger in his eyes disappeared when he saw Ye Zhen. He just looked at her innocently and aggrievedly.
"Go wash your face, I'll teach Huo 'er a lesson." Ye Zhen whispered to Guan Jie.
"Oh." Guan Jie nodded and used his hand to wipe away the ashes on his face, but the more he wiped, the darker it became.
Ye Rou chuckled and pulled his hand. "Wash your face with water. Don't use your hands. They're dirty too."
Guan Jie stared blankly at Ye Zhen.
"Why aren't you washing your face? It's not like I've burned all your hair. Why are you acting so pretentious?" Fire Phoenix pushed Guan Jie's hand away and stood between him and Ye Zhen, determined not to let Guan Jie approach her.
"Huo 'er!" Ye Zhen scolded him.
Fire Phoenix pursed her lips and took a step to the side.
"He's a mortal," Wo Sheng said, looking at the Fire Phoenix.
"If he wasn't a mortal, he would have died long ago." Fire Phoenix was still very cold towards Woo Sheng and the others. He had tested Guan Jie for the sake of the City Lord, but he had not found anything. This Guan Jie was really an idiot.
Ji Shen glared at Fire Phoenix and clenched his fists, looking as if he wanted to beat him up.
"Since the fire has been extinguished, let's return to the house," Woo Sheng said. "Jiao, go back with Guan Jie."
Guan Jie looked at Ye Zhen eagerly.
"Go and rest." Ye Zhen said, thinking that Guan Jie was a mortal after all. He must be very tired after following them without rest.
Ye Zhen took the fire phoenix back to the house. "Didn't I tell you? Although Guan Jie is not young, he is no different from a child. Why are you bullying him? "
"I'm not bullying him, I'm testing him." Fire Phoenix shouted.
"Then what did you find out?" Ye Zhen asked coldly.
Fire Phoenix touched the tip of his nose. "I haven't found out anything yet, but I think he approached you on purpose."
Ye Zhen was so angry that she laughed. "He has an impression of me. He has seen me before. What's wrong with approaching familiar people in his mind?"
"Well, I won't bully him in the future." Fire Phoenix muttered.
"Tomorrow we will go to the palace in the Western Regions. Don't provoke Ji Shen and the others anymore." Ye Zhen whispered, "You also know that they are great blood demons. Even if they are polite, they are still blood demons who have lived from ancient times to the present. We must respect each other. If we can avoid war in the future, it will be a good thing for the world."
Fire Phoenix nodded. "I know."
Ye Zhen patted him on the shoulder and summoned him back to the space to rest.
Fire Phoenix, who had not been summoned back to the space for a long time, was stunned. After a moment, he cried out. He didn't want to stay in the space!
"I want to go out!"
Ye Zhen could no longer hear his cries. Taking advantage of the darkness, she took a little rest. She still had to go to the palace tomorrow.
Since the priest's temple was burned down by Mo Rongzhan, Wanyan Xi has not built it again. The Western Regions is no longer the Western Liang of the past.
All the way to the palace, Ye Zhen still had some memories of the place, but it felt like a long, long time ago.
"You don't have to go anymore." Before entering the palace, Wu Sheng stopped.
"Why?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise.
Wu Sheng whispered, "There is no underground palace here."
"What?" Ye Zhen was stunned. "Didn't you say that the underground palace is sealed in the palace? Now, apart from the Jin Kingdom, this is the only palace. "
"The world is so big, there may be other palaces." "But the palace in the Western Regions is now devoid of purple qi. If there is an underground palace, we will definitely feel it."
Ye Zhen looked at Wu Sheng. "That is to say, there is no blood demon here?"
"Yes." Wu Sheng nodded. "Let's go to the Jin Kingdom."
"Maybe there is no underground palace in the Jin Kingdom." Fire Phoenix said sarcastically. Afraid of being summoned back to the space by Ye Zhen again, he had restrained himself a lot.
Wu Sheng looked down at Ye Zhen. "We have to find Ying Yang as soon as possible."
Ye Zhen knew why Woo Sheng said this. In the past few nights, they would go out to catch demon beasts. It could be seen that some demon beasts from the Desolate Hell were not afraid of Blood Devils and even planned to fight with them. Therefore, Woo Sheng's order was useless to them. They could only capture them by force and take away their golden cores. Only then would they realize that the human world was not theirs yet.
"You seem to only care about looking for blood demons. Why don't you look for your High Lord?" Ye Zhen asked.
"We don't need to look for High Lord. He will come back for us."
"Let's go to the Jin Kingdom first, then to the Qi Kingdom."
"Why not go to the Qi Kingdom first?" Fire Phoenix curled his lips. "The army of the Qi Kingdom is in Shuizhou, threatening Ming Yu at any time. Moreover, the monsters are rioting. Only the military camp in Shuizhou is unharmed. Song Hongao might have been possessed by a monster."
Ye Zhen frowned and looked at Fire Phoenix. "Little Fire, don't talk nonsense."
"He's not wrong." Wu Sheng said, "If there are monsters in the military camp in Shuizhou that are not rioting, it is very likely that there are more powerful monsters suppressing them."
"Then let's go to the Qi Kingdom first." Ye Zhen said. Murong Ke may still be patrolling in plain clothes. Without the emperor in the palace, it is said that the purple qi will weaken. It is better to go to the Qi Kingdom first.
Wu Sheng looked at Ye Zhen. "Okay."
