"Okay." Leng Ruoxue agreed readily. She also knew that beasts like dragons and phoenixes would not casually contract with humans, so she didn't want to make things difficult for Feng Zhan.
After settling the matter with Feng Zhan, Leng Ruoxue returned to the wooden house.
Inside the Heaven and Earth Bracelet…
"Grandpa, did you hear what Feng Zhan just said to me?" Leng Ruoxue asked the three old men in front of her.
"Oh, Xue'er, so that's what the Phoenix King wants.. That's fortunate. I was still worried that he would harm us!" Leng Qingtian said with a sigh of relief.
"Little Girl, your luck is really infuriating! Even the Phoenix clan came knocking on your door to contract with you. Alas, why don't I have such good luck?" Old Man said with a sigh.
"Yes, even I am jealous of you." Lin Liang's tone might be complaining, but his expression was not the least bit that way. Instead, his face was full of joy, as if he had contracted with them himself.
"Xue'er, contracting the Phoenix clan will be very beneficial for you now. But Grandpa is a little worried about the traitor of the Phoenix clan," Leng Qingtian said worriedly. He didn't want his granddaughter to suffer any harm. Contracting with the Phoenix clan had both pros and cons. He was afraid that the Phoenix clan would become a time bomb.
"Grandpa, even without the Phoenix clan, there are some things that I can't avoid," Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. The matter of the Phoenix clan involved the great war 100,000 years ago, and that war was obviously related to her master, so she couldn't avoid it at all. Instead of running away, it was better to start accumulating her strength now.
"Xue'er, what do you mean?" Leng Qingtian was puzzled.
"Yes, Ruoxue. What do you mean?" Lin Liang and Old Man were equally puzzled.
"I have to begin by explaining about my master…" Leng Ruoxue explained everything in detail to Leng Qingtian and the others.
After listening to her, the three of them fell silent…
"Xue'er, Grandpa will definitely help you no matter how formidable your future enemy is," Leng Qingtian said calmly with a serious face after a while. Xue'er's words were beyond his expectations. No wonder Xue'er has never taken the Xu family seriously. The Xu family is just a small fry compared to that enemy. Alas! It seems we've set our sights too low.
"Little Girl, even though my strength is limited, I am also very willing to help you as long as you are willing to accept me." Old Man also expressed his attitude very seriously.
"Hehe, how can I miss out on this kind of thing!" Lin Liang chimed in as well, taking on the responsibility as well. Being together with young people really made him so energetic! It seemed like he had to cultivate harder in the future and not be outdone by this little girl!
Leng Ruoxue looked at Old Man and Lin Liang, a little touched. She wasn't surprised that her grandfather said so, but she didn't expect these two to say the same. In fact, she could understand even if they didn't help.
"Little Girl, don't look at me like that. I am too old and can't take it!" Old Man said with an exaggerated expression on his face.
"You old fart! What nonsense are you saying?" Leng Qingtian glared at him.
"Ruoxue, I have decided. I want to enter seclusion here and cultivate diligently, lest I become a burden later on." Lin Liang revealed his plan after thinking about it.
"I can't fall behind Brat Lin. I want to enter seclusion as well," Old Man hurriedly said.
"No! If both of you are in seclusion, what should Xue'er say if someone asks?" Leng Qingtian disagreed, directly denying their thoughts.
"Old Man, Grandpa Lin, wait for me to save Feng Da and destroy the Spiritual Deities of the Xu family before you enter seclusion!" Leng Ruoxue said with a slight frown.
"Alright. Time can accelerate here anyway, so a few more days won't hurt." Old Man and Lin Liang nodded.
"I'll send you out first. We've been here for a long time," Leng Ruoxue said to the three old men.
"Okay."
After sending the three of them out of the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, Leng Ruoxue entered the purple bamboo house.
"Freak, are you doing okay?" Leng Ruoxue put the little silver mink aside and murmured to herself while staring at Freak's frozen body.
"I miss you so much," Leng Ruoxue said softly, choked up as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Xue'er," the little silver mink called softly. He wanted to jump into Leng Ruoxue's arms, but Xue'er ignored him. Boohoo…
The little silver mink hated Xue'er for neglecting him. Boohoo… He was so jealous of the big ice block lying on the bed, even though he knew that his idea was ridiculous because it was actually him. But he really…
Xue'er, do you know how much I want to tell you that I am your Freak? But… but…
Boohoo… He felt so inferior now, and he was even more unwilling to let Xue'er know that he was now a little mink who couldn't even transform into a human…
"Xue'er." The little silver mink calmed down and gently tugged on Leng Ruoxue's sleeve.
"Uh, what's wrong?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the little mink with tears in her eyes, her face full of confusion.
"Xue'er, don't cry. He… he isn't dead!" the little silver mink comforted. Boohoo… Seeing Xue'er's tears made him both happy and distressed. His mood was conflicted.
"What did you say? How do you know?" The little mink's words exploded in Leng Ruoxue's ears like a bomb!
Leng Ruoxue picked up the little silver mink in disbelief and raised him in front of her eyes to look directly into those incomparably beautiful blue eyes.
"He's not dead," the little silver mink repeated, but he was very nervous. Xue'er wouldn't see anything, would she?
"How do you know?" Leng Ruoxue asked anxiously, her heart racing.
"My inherited memories told me. Moreover, I know how to dispel the Frosty Palm's poison," the little silver mink suddenly said confidently. He was really too smart to think of such a reason.
"Tell me quickly," Leng Ruoxue said anxiously.
