328 Take a Few Steps Less
“Why didn’t I see you stop the saintess when she captured my husband?” Jiang Xi snorted.
The imperial preceptor muttered, “You… You won’t die without General Zhao Ruifeng, but the saintess will die. She can’t live without General Zhao.”
“Heh, who asked you to save the saintess?!” Jiang Xi sneered. She patted Dafeng’s head and said with a cold expression, “Do you still remember what I said when I ascended the throne? Every step I take is my world. Do you still need my help?”
Jiang Xi had never been a good person. She had seen it clearly in her previous life that soft-hearted people did not live long. If they dared to beg you once, they would dare to beg you a second time. They would even do it countless times. Jiang Xi smiled. Although she was a lunatic, she was also a lunatic who dreamed of being domineering!
The imperial preceptor’s mouth stiffened. The sea breeze was everywhere in his ears, almost cutting his face. Even the tornado was almost in front of him. The fishing boat that was sailing halfway had already capsized, and there were cries and screams everywhere.
“You can go.” The imperial preceptor closed his eyes. It seemed that bringing Jiang Xi to Xilan Nation was like bringing a hungry Wolf into a flock of sheep. Their country was going to be finished…
Dafeng glanced at Jiang Xi, then followed her to the beach. Strangely, the waves receded a little with every step she took.
“You… Take a few less steps.” The imperial preceptor’s trembling voice came from behind.
Jiang Xi could not help but chuckle. She had already stepped into the world, so why would she lack this step? Jiang Xi was approaching with the phoenix, and the huge wave retreated back into the sea. The shore was calm for a while. Everyone was still a little confused. Why did the tornado suddenly stop? It was as if the raging waves had been blocked in the sea and did not dare to move forward at all.
Dafeng glanced at Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi slowly took out a braised chicken wing and threw it to Dafeng. Dafeng smacked its lips and finished the chicken wing in satisfaction. Then, he neighed. “Quack…” With a duck’s cry, it flapped its meaty wings on its short legs and flew out close to the sea.
“Your duck is too fat.” The white-robed old man sighed. He saw the ‘duck’ that he had raised at home flying forward. There were a few times when it almost lost control of its heavy body and fell into the sea. The people of the saintess’ palace could not bear to see it. ‘Imperial preceptor, are you crazy?’
Dafeng seemed to be angry, and its wings kept flapping, faster and faster, almost only an afterimage could be seen. It surrounded the tornado and rushed straight up. The old man in white robe was startled. How could the tornado not hurt it? Before the white-robed old man came back to his senses, he heard a clear and high-pitched phoenix cry from far and near in the sky.
In the tornado, the chubby ‘duck’ was covered in flames, and a piece of meat emerged from the head of the fat ‘duck’. The piece of meat was still glowing with golden light. He would remember this piece of meat until he died!
“Phoenix crown!” The white-robed old man’s voice was hoarse as he stood up suddenly. The saintess who was leaning on him was thrown to the ground by him, her tears almost flowing out. The white-robed old man was trembling. It was the phoenix crown! It actually gave birth to a phoenix crown! The phoenix had successfully reincarnated! The white-robed old man knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Following the long cry of the phoenix, the tornado actually stopped. It was as if the phoenix was negotiating with the tornado, but it also seemed like the phoenix was reminding the tornado, “The big boss appeared, so quickly retreated.”
Jiang Xi strolled slowly along the beach, and the imperial preceptor was frightened. ‘Just stand there. Just stand there and don’t walk anymore.’
“Wow, there’s a golden light. Mother, look, that fat bird’s body is glowing…” A child pointed at the scenery in the sky. Even though it was blocked by the tornado, the phoenix’s tail feathers were still exposed. Under the reflection of the sea water, they glittered with golden light.
Another group of people knelt down. “The tornado has become smaller, smaller…” Wave after wave of cheers. After the tornado became smaller, Dafeng stumbled back again, but this time, it flew even lower. He burped as he flew, probably because he had brushed against the sea surface several times and drank a few mouthfuls of seawater.
When Dafeng flew to Jiang Xi’s feet, it burped loudly and Jiang Xi almost passed out from the stench. Dafeng seemed to have eaten a lot of things from the sea. On closer look, it was like a turkey, full of meat. With its current size, it was unlikely that it could hide under her skirt.
