Chapter 273 Fan Fengying's Promise
As the phoenix cries, more birds come to pay homage to it.
There are quite a lot of beautiful birds, such as tits, thrushes, egrets, parrots, golden pheasants, waxwings, birds of paradise, etc., and many others that I can't even name.
Together with the Phoenix, they stayed among the branches and flowers in the Maze Valley, flying up and down and dancing gracefully.
The kids playing on the grass were also curious about the beautiful birds in the sky.
They all picked out the birds they liked best and thought were the most beautiful.
Ye Gengchen flew to He Qianqian's shoulder, pointed at the bird with a long tail and asked:
"Mom, what kind of bird is that? It's very beautiful, I like it the most."
He Qianqian looked over and saw a long red tail feathers and bright emerald blue feathers on the body, with a graceful figure.
"That's a ribbon bird."
Ye Feng pointed at the little bird that looked like a snowball.
"Mom, what kind of bird is that? It's white, fat and round, like a snowball.
Can you fly even if you are so fat?"
"That's the Silver-throated Long-tailed Tit, also known as the Fat Tit. It looks fat, but it's actually just puffy, with thicker feathers."
Fan Fengying was very proud to see that the two dragons also liked birds.
As the king of birds, it strives to command all kinds of birds, showing their most beautiful feathers, posing the most beautiful and elegant postures, flying in the air, and performing the most splendid performances.
Flocks of ribbon birds, white peacocks, and fat chicks circled at low altitude, just to let Xiaolong get a closer look.
Fan Fengying also took the opportunity to get closer to the two dragon cubs:
"Gengchen, my dear, how can those birds compare with me in beauty? My phoenix's feathers are the most beautiful.
You two are allowed to touch each other."
The phoenix’s gorgeous tail feathers were about to touch He Qianqian’s face.
Ye Gengchen flew up quickly, hit Fan Fengying, and bit off a red feather from his abdomen.
Then he spat out the hair in his mouth in disgust and returned to He Qianqian's side:
"I don't want to touch you. How dare you say my mother is ugly? My mother is the most beautiful mother in the world."
Ye Feng also replied with disdain:
"The ugliest person here is you, Phoenix. You are ugly, and your whole family is ugly."
Fan Fengying: ...
He Qianqian: ...
After being stunned for three seconds, Fan Fengying pretended to be sad:
"I'm the one who attracted all these beautiful birds. You should be nice to me, right?"
The two little dragons snorted, turned their heads to look at the bird on the other side, and deliberately pointed their butts towards him.
He Qianqian just felt warm.
The cubs in the space must have heard the phoenix calling her an “ugly she-woman”.
Out of politeness, I didn't curse back immediately after leaving the post.
It was not until just now when Fan Fengying was too close to them that the two little dragons exploded.
Moreover, after leaving the space, they deliberately didn't look at Phoenix, because they didn't want him to be too proud.
Are you beautiful? Unfortunately, in our eyes, you are nothing.
[Many years later, Ye Fengba, she still remembered the day when “a hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix”.
What made her laugh was:
She said about Fenghuang at the time, saying that "his whole family is ugly", and inadvertently, she also cursed her entire family.
All she could do was blame her unreliable mother, who somehow took Fenghuang in as her father. 】
He Qianqian saw that Fan Fengying's bird head was drooping, and there was no trace of the arrogance and narcissism from before.
She smiled apologetically and said to Phoenix:
"Gengchen and Baba are just little kids, and I taught them to be a little willful. Fan Fengying, Gengchen didn't really bite you. Please don't take it personally.
Also, can you keep it a secret?
Don’t tell outsiders or your friends that you have seen so many cubs.”
"Little female, I promise with the honor of the phoenix that I will keep the cubs' secrets and protect Gengchen and Baba until they grow up safely.
They are the ones who carry the hope for the revival of the Shenlong Tribe. I am so happy for them, how can I care about biting off a few of my feathers?"
In fact, Fan Fengying knew in his heart that he only had himself, and the whole family that Baba was talking about actually only included him.
In order to preserve time and years and avoid being eroded by time, he has been sleeping in the glacier for thousands of years.
Thousands of years ago, he had friends and neighbors, and the dragon residents of the Shenlong tribe were his friends and neighbors.
And now, he is alone.
A phoenix has been lonely for too long.
He is so lonely that he is narcissistic without knowing it. He is so lonely that when he finally sees a living being with whom he can interact, he chooses the most aggressive words to make his presence felt.
For example, when he first met He Qianqian, he called her "ugly female".
After hearing Fenghuang's promise, He Qianqian nodded slightly. In fact, she also guessed this about Fan Fengying.
The two dragon cubs will live in the sacred mountain in the future and will become neighbors with the phoenix.
The Phoenix will do its best to protect them before they grow up. The Divine Tree of the Mysterious Valley, the Dragon Clan, and the Phoenix depend on each other and cannot live without each other.
So just now, she directly took all the cubs out without hiding them.

As the two suns hung low in the western sky, the light and shadows under the trees dimmed. There were so many beautiful birds, some flew away, and some chose to roost on the trees in the valley for the night.
Fan Fengying kept her promise and returned to the high branches to rest.
As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the camp and several lanterns were hung.
Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong were skillfully grilling glutinous rice sausage on the iron plate.
Li Yan and others brought pots of meat and vegetable dishes to the table.
At the table for the kids, 55 large bamboo pots were already placed; there were also several small plates with cheese, nuts and some fruits.
Meat and vegetarian combination.
Although Zaizai was hungry, he still didn't eat. One reason was that the meal hadn't started yet. Another reason, of course, was that the glutinous rice sausage was too fragrant.
They all looked at the glutinous rice sausage that was sizzling with oil.
He Qianqian doesn't allow them to eat too much glutinous rice sausage because it contains a lot of salt and seasoning. She is afraid that the cubs' appetite will be spoiled and they will become picky eaters in the future.
Seeing those pairs of big eyes staring at him, Xiao Zhong felt very distressed and compromised quickly.
He walked up to He Qianqian and whispered:
"Tonight, shall we give the cubs some intestines?"
"Then each cub can eat half a piece of intestine, no more." He Qianqian looked at the cubs lovingly. As a mother, how could she not want to pamper and spoil them.
The sharp-eared Baba and Gengchen immediately clapped their hands: "Great!"
The cubs whispered to each other and soon all knew the good news: they could eat intestines tonight.
There is one table for adults and one table for children.
The meals every night were extremely sumptuous. The males could eat whatever they could to get full, and for the sake of the cubs and the females, they took every meal seriously.
The whole family, including Xiao Bo, Xiao Zhong and Hu Ling, enjoyed dinner under the tree.
This is a tough time for the thousand-year-old phoenix on the branch.
He wanted to bite off his tongue. Why should he agree to the little female's three rules of non-interference?
He wanted to fly down, join them, and taste everything. He hated himself the most for calling her an "ugly female" at the beginning.
One wrong step, every step is wrong.
After eating raw meat all his life, Fan Fengying could no longer stand steadily; the "gluttonous feast" mentioned in the inheritance was right under the tree, how could he escape the temptation of delicious food?
