Chapter 135: Hua Niaizi's Delusions

Seeing him turn so earnest, Baili Tianchang suddenly felt that she was being petty.

"You two, how shameful."

The little phoenix stared foolishly for a long time before finally unable to help voicing its thoughts.

"Little thing, go back to sleep. What are you looking at?"

Nalan Dijiuc's majesty flared up instantly as he sternly reprimanded the little phoenix.

"Ugh, so scary. You scold little Fengfeng, you are a bad guy."

The little phoenix immediately trembled and shrank behind Baili Tianchang. Retreating step by step, it kept repeating, "You scold little Fengfeng, you are a bad guy. A bad guy."

"Little Fairy, why is it so cowardly?"

Nalan Dijiu glanced at the little phoenix with deep disdain. "Little Phoenix, this king found a beast pet for the Little Fairy hoping it could protect her. Since you are such a coward, you had better hurry back into your mother's embrace before we get too far."

Baili Tianchang did not dare to speak.

She certainly wouldn't dare tell Nalan Dijiu that besides being a bit cowardly, this little phoenix was also somewhat foolish.

Otherwise, Nalan Dijiu might really toss the little phoenix back to its mother's side.

"Don't send me back."

Hearing Nalan Dijiu say this, the little phoenix immediately poked its head out from behind Baili Tianchang.

"Little Fengfeng is not a coward. Little Fengfeng can protect its master."

Imitating the tone of an adult, the little phoenix spoke to Nalan Dijiu with solemn seriousness.

"You had better live up to that, otherwise this king will send you back to the Phoenix Clan at any moment."

Nalan Dijiu gave the little phoenix another fierce intimidation before ignoring it altogether.

By this time, the team from Pine and Crane Academy had already decided to return the way they came.

They had operated in the border region of the Devil's Forest for many days, yet not a single person had possessed the courage to venture deep into the Devil's Forest.

Consequently, even though they had been out for days, their mission remained unfulfilled.

They had merely harvested some low-grade gains.

Even so, right now on their return journey, every single one of them felt quite excited.

Especially Hua Niaozi, whose excitement was fully expressed through the smiles on her face and her actions.

Seven or eight days had already passed; that good-for-nothing, ugly woman Baili Tianchang must surely be dead by now, right?

Therefore, the reason this group was returning by the same route was precisely to search along the way for any remnants left behind by that good-for-nothing, ugly woman.

For instance, some bones, fragments of clothing, or the like.

These were wonderful items to lift their spirits! They found this even more exciting and delightful than completing their mission.

That good-for-nothing, ugly woman Baili Tianchang had actually daydreamed of being with the Ninth Prince.

Yet she probably never imagined until her dying breath that the Ninth Prince was already together with Saintess Chengyu of the Falling Rosy Clouds Palace, right?

As Hua Niaozi searched all around for the things she hoped to find, she calculated inwardly.

This time, by sending a message to tip off Saintess Chengyu of the Falling Rosy Clouds Palace, she had successfully closed the distance between herself and the Saintess.

Presumably, now that Saintess Chengyu was together with the Ninth Prince, she would surely remember that this was all thanks to her contribution!

Gaining the trust of Saintess Chengyu was a tremendous boon, whether for Hua Niaozi herself or for the entire Hua family!

One had to know that Saintess Chengyu held a very prestigious status within the Falling Rosy Clouds Palace!
