Gu Yanying said to Si Bao, "Bao 'er, take your child home first."
"Okay." Si Bao came before Li Qingshan and extended her hands to the tigress girl, "Come with me!"
The tigress girl stared at her.
"Go find your mother."
Li Qingshan handed the tiger girl who was filled with reluctance to Si Bao and watched them leave.
"Let's talk somewhere else!" Gu Yanying said.
"Where to?"
Li Qingshan furrowed his brows as if a storm was gathering.
"East, Yunzhou!"
"You don't need help? I heard that the Winged Men are not easy to deal with. "
Li Qingshan did not expect Gu Yanying to be so decisive. Although he could not wait to go to the City Amongst the Clouds and beat up his mother, then his whole family, and teach these damned kidnappers what the word "death" meant.
"This matter is difficult to solve with strength alone!"
"I'm still not strong enough!"
Li Qingshan said. His military exploits could be considered illustrious, but the Winged Men still dared to do this. They must be fearless.
"You can say that." Gu Yanying flew higher into the sky and blended into the fierce astral winds. Li Qingshan followed closely behind. "The matter you want my help with is related to the Winged Men, right?"
"To be more precise, it's related to the Winged Men King."
…
The further east they went, the denser the clouds in the sky became. In the end, it was almost endless. The clouds were piled up and down, and thunder and lightning could be seen from time to time.
Bai Jie brought Li Fengyuan and passed through the clouds.
"Why does your king want to see me?"
Li Fengyuan tried to break free, but the white belt of light was stronger than he imagined and firmly restrained his power.
"You'll know when you get there," Bai Jie said.
"Do you know who my father is? His surname is Li …"
"Qingshan."
"You know?"
"Like father like son. Legend has it that the phoenix has five virtues. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust. You spoke rudely, which is rude. You asked such a stupid question, which is unwise. You promised to follow me to the City Amongst the Clouds, but you tried to escape, which is untrustworthy. You can only be considered a little benevolent. "
"I may be rude, unwise, and untrustworthy. So that I can be as shameless as you! "
Bai Jie let out a cold snort and shook the white ribbon. Li Fengyuan fell into the black cloud mountain that was flashing with lightning and rumbling thunder. When he was lifted up again, the feathers on his body were standing up and he shouted, "Shameless! Shameless! Shameless! "
"Call me whatever you want. I can't be bothered to stoop to your level. "
"Shameless woman, you're in big trouble now!"
After flying for an unknown period of time, a city suddenly appeared between the clouds. Towering white palaces seemed to be formed from white clouds. Shining white in the sunlight.
However, upon closer inspection, only the tallest palace in the center was truly pure white. The surrounding palaces were slightly inferior, gradually turning milky white and even grayish white. However, they all had the same texture of clouds, lightly floating high up in the sky.
One by one, the winged people spread their wings and soared between the clouds. All of them were beautiful and wore broad clothes. Their words and actions were elegant, and they emitted a tranquil and auspicious aura.
"This is the City Amongst the Clouds," Bai Jie said proudly.
"What's so great about it?" Li Fengyuan said disdainfully.
A pair of tall cloud pillars could be considered the city gate. The cloud pillars were engraved with layers of cloud patterns, and a strange sculpture with a human face and bird's body sat on top of the cloud pillars. It wore a pointed crown on its head.
The instant Li Fengyuan crossed the cloud pillars, he seemed to have entered another world. That tranquil and auspicious aura seemed to invade his body.
"Bai Jie, don't be rude to our guest. Hurry up and untie him. "A clear and sonorous voice came from the tallest palace.
"Yes."
After arriving at the City Amongst the Clouds, Bai Jie wasn't afraid of letting Li Fengyuan escape. She waved her sleeve and retrieved the white ribbon.
Li Fengyuan stretched his body and said calmly, "Let's go. Let me see your king."
The graceful and dignified bearing of the Phoenix's inheritance was displayed. Moreover, he had the decisiveness of "I'll go against thousands of people".
Bai Jie's expression was somewhat astonished. Just Now, at that moment, she actually felt a trace of shame. This was the bearing that a Phoenix should have!
On the spotless white street, the Feathermen lined the streets to welcome him. They sprinkled flowers and played their zithers, as if they were truly welcoming a distinguished guest.
Bai Jie also took a step back and followed behind, letting him enjoy this honor alone.
Li Fengyuan stepped on the soft clouds and walked forward calmly.
The Phoenix never lacked glory, nor did it need glory.
When he arrived in front of the palace in the center of the city, there were two rows of cloud pillars in the plaza in front of the palace. On top of each pillar sat a sculpture with a human face and bird's body. However, there was a subtle difference in their expressions. When he passed through the plaza, he would feel that he was constantly being watched.
Climbing up the tall steps, Li Fengyuan looked up and saw the three large words "Divine Feather Palace" shining brightly under the sunlight.
"Quickly invite him in." The clear and magnificent voice came from the palace again.
Li Fengyuan acted as if he didn't hear it. He looked left and right and admired the carvings on the palace gate. Bai Jie reached out and pushed him into the palace.
The palace was filled with intoxicating incense. There were many crane-shaped incense burners emitting white smoke.
The warm sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the palace seem even more spacious. A figure was faintly discernible in the smoke.
"Welcome, Divine Bird Phoenix."
A handsome and sunny man stood up from the white jade throne and opened his arms. The pure white wings that were originally folded behind him suddenly spread out with his movement, scattering the smoke. They emitted an invisible light that made the sunlight dim.
"My name is Li Fengyuan!"
"King of Feather Men, Bai Chen."
"You're about to die," Li Fengyuan said.
"What did you say?" The King of Feather Men calmly walked down from the throne. His long white robe trailed behind him. He smiled and said, "Who can kill me?" Whether it was power or influence, he was at the top of this world.
"Time," Li Fengyuan said.
"Oh?" The King of Feather Men lowered his eyes.
"No matter how strong the incense is, it can't hide the stench on your body." Li Fengyuan sniffed. Although it wasn't actually a smell, it was more like an intuition, an aura of aging and decadence. "Maintaining a youthful appearance is just deceiving yourself, not to mention that pretentious tone of voice. You aren't the light of the day, but the twilight! "
"As expected of the Divine Bird Phoenix. Not all life forms can live forever like you. Even Celestials have five periods of decline. But please show some respect. It's good for both of us. "
The King of Feather Men's expression darkened. As he frowned, wrinkles began to spread. Even his voice became deep and hoarse, like an old man.
Li Fengyuan suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe. He was obviously so old, but he was also so powerful, as vast as the sky. Glancing at the base of the Feather Man King's pure white wings, he suddenly found a little bit of color. It was a pale blue feather, but it was better than all the other pure white feathers, which made him feel a sense of familiarity. He raised his head and said, "What do you want from me?"
"Time."
