Chapter 622 I'm No Ordinary Dragon Cubs! 27
A colossal golden-winged phoenix broke through the thick clouds from the distant east and headed towards the western dragon clan. She led two phoenixes, one blue and one white, as they swooped down. Their hard wings were like sharp swords capable of cutting through the void, and for a moment, the dragon clan's territory was enveloped by this powerful pressure.
The dragon clan's magnificent palace was where Neri and several other lords gathered. Although the dragon clan preferred a primitive lifestyle, they had built a grand and imposing palace out of gold to uphold their clan's dignity and keep up with the times.
The moment the aura of the Phoenix Clan's Phoenix Lord arrived, the Dragon Clan citizens, sensing the unusual atmosphere, became extremely alert.
The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Lord have a bad relationship, but they still have to give her some face, since she once imprisoned the Demon Dragon with the previous Dragon Lord.
"We're here, we're here."
Zhao Zhao led Xi Yan in through a series of twists and turns, and was immediately captivated by the grand hall upon entering.
"Why didn't you tell me about this wonderful place!"
His greedy appearance made the solemn crowd chuckle. Irik casually tugged at his hair: "Look at you, so impatient. When you become the Dragon Lord, this palace, including all the dragon clan's property, will be yours."
Zhao Zhao looked up and silently said "Oh," clearly not very interested.
Xi Yan crossed his arms casually: "So, you guys are finally letting me go back?"
Neri hadn't originally intended to detain him for more than half a month; it was Xiyan who brought it upon himself, insisting on taking the two phoenix eggs with him.
Really looking for death.
Ersto said sternly, "We can let you go back today for the sake of the Phoenix Lord, but don't even think about anything else."
"Zhaozhao, come here," without even looking, the lively dragon cub had already climbed toward the golden throne at the head of the table.
Just then, a deep phoenix cry came from the sky, clearly penetrating the clouds and reaching our ears.
To possess such a powerful aura even on someone else's territory—besides the Phoenix Lord, no one else in the Spirit Realm possesses such strength and charisma.
Xi Yan looked up in surprise at the faintly visible figure in the distance, her purple eyes narrowing slightly: "Why is she here too?"
His previously casual demeanor instantly became more serious.
On the other side, Qingluan Beixi and Honghu Baiyu followed behind the golden fire phoenix, gazing at the Dragon Clan's palace, which was no less magnificent than the Phoenix Clan's mountaintop royal palace, their eyes filled with astonishment.
The golden palace, bathed in sunlight, reflected a light so bright it could almost blind one.
"The Dragon Clan's aesthetic sense has remained consistent for thousands of years." Bessie said in a calm tone, looking at the majestic golden bird: "According to the message sent back by Xiyan, the Dragon Clan is unwilling to return the two phoenix eggs."
"Phoenix Queen, what should we do?" The elegant and beautiful blue bird exuded a serious aura, as if she would rush forward and snatch the phoenix egg back at the Phoenix Queen's slightest nod.
Phoenix Queen turned her head slightly: "Don't be in a hurry."
Bai Yu also said, "Your body is special. If there is any conflict, please remember to take care of your health."
"Ok."
The Phoenix Queen said in a calm tone, "We've arrived. Let's go."
A dragon led them into the main hall. The Phoenix Queen's golden eyes passed over Xi Yan and the group of dragon subjects, and her gaze instantly locked onto the child lying on the golden throne.
The cub was dressed in gilded black clothes, and its innocent face stood out from the crowd around it.
Dark eyes met golden eyes. Phoenix Lord looked at the bewilderment and undisguised amazement in them. Her sharp gaze relaxed slightly, and she smiled gently: "Hello, young master of the Dragon Clan."
A smile graced her face like a flower in bloom. In Zhao Zhao's mind, Yue cried out, "Little Dragon, that's my mother from a hundred years in the future."
"Quick, quick, take me to see her!"
On the other side, Neri and the other three lords sat down with the Phoenix Lord. Just as they were about to feign flattery and make a few sarcastic remarks, they saw their young master running towards the Phoenix Lord with a red phoenix egg in his arms.
The voice was particularly clear in the spacious hall, and both sides were slightly taken aback, turning to look at Zhao Zhao.
"Hello, beautiful Phoenix Master~"
"Young..." Erstoo was about to step forward and stop Zhao Zhao when Frang stopped him, saying casually, "The little one is the young master. In the Dragon Clan, he can do whatever he wants."
There's no need to worry about anyone or anything.
The Phoenix Queen possessed an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger, and her usually stern face showed a hint of surprise in her eyes when Zhao Zhao placed the red phoenix egg on her lap.
Nari sighed, rubbing her forehead. Every move Zai Zai made caught them off guard. They had originally planned to make things difficult for the Phoenix Clan members, but after seeing Zhao Zhao's kind attitude, they silently shut up.
With her well-maintained hands gently stroking the eggshell, the phoenix queen looked tenderly at the chick.
After handing her son over to the Phoenix Lord, Zhao Zhao's gaze secretly shifted to the two young and beautiful women standing behind her, pausing for a second as she swept her eyes over the figure in blue.
He believed his observations were discreet, but in fact everyone present saw his actions clearly.
Phoenix Lord and Bessie exchanged a glance, and the expressionless, aloof woman stepped forward, raising her palm slightly to greet Zhao Zhao: "Young Master of the Dragon Clan." Her cold, clear eyes remained unchanged.
Zhao Zhao blushed and ran back to the dragon's side. He shyly hid behind Neri, peeking out with one eye to observe: "No need to be polite, just call me Loriel."
Yue took a moment to sense Bessie and exclaimed, "No wonder she's Yi Zhao's mother; the two are truly identical."
Erstoo's gaze fell on the woman, and before he could observe her for more than a few seconds, Xi Yan's figure blocked her way. He said with a grin, "Don't just sit there, everyone."
"It's time to get down to business."
The real issue wasn't about Xi Yan's personal freedom, but rather those two phoenix eggs.
However, at this moment, Zhao Zhao had personally handed a phoenix egg to the Phoenix Lord, and the dragon clan's momentum automatically weakened before it even began.
"Our Phoenix Lord has come with great sincerity. To thank you all for finding the lost phoenix egg, we are willing to offer two spirit mines in the Phoenix Clan's territory of the Spirit Lake Forest as our token of gratitude."
Bai Yu's gaze was calm as she looked at everyone with neither servility nor arrogance.
The Phoenix Clan got straight to the point about the phoenix egg, while remaining completely silent about what the Dragon Clan had done to Xi Yan, showing an attitude of magnanimity and indifference.
Use retreat to advance.
“Our dragon clan also has quite a few mines.” The atmosphere was heavy, but Neri suddenly chuckled.
They certainly don't lack two mountains.
"Really? I had no idea that the Dragon Clan had ever had a Purple Mystic Crystal mine in the past few thousand years." The Phoenix Lord suddenly spoke up, her tone carrying the arrogance of someone who had long held a high position.
Purple Mystic Crystal is a top-grade spiritual stone, formed from the purest spiritual energy in the world, and can help spirit beasts cultivate spiritual energy.
The Dragon Clan used up its last Purple Mystic Crystal mine in its territory thousands of years ago. Currently, in the Spirit Realm, only the Phoenix Clan's territory still has Purple Mystic Crystals, which are extremely precious and rare. Once they are used up, there will be one less left.
The Dragon Clan, who originally intended to refuse to compromise no matter what conditions the Phoenix Clan offered, hesitated for a moment when they heard that the Purple Mystic Crystal was related to enhancing spiritual power.
