Chapter 850 - Emotionally Captured
Translator: Aran
What?!
The dark holy girl?!
Fought against her and was even wounded?
As if a terrifying wave had swept across his heart, Ye Qingyu became nervous, shocked, and anxious like never before.
Could the dark holy girl of the Unmoving City of Darkness really be... Song Xiaojun?
He paused for a moment to stabilize his emotions. Having not divulged too much, he tried to make himself look calmer before he questioned, "So, you\'ve seen that dark holy girl? Can you describe what kind of person she is?"
Actually, he already had a fairly certain answer deep down.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden sat down slowly and recalled in detail.
Subsequently, with her eyes carrying a tinge of respect akin to that shown by a warrior toward a top-level expert, she said, "The dark holy girl? It\'s said that she\'s one of the rulers of the Unmoving City of Darkness, and only recently emerged as a dark leader. She appeared to be rather young, with a head of dazzling and flaming-red long hair, and was dressed in dark-red battle garments which were strange and mysterious, as if they were dyed using the dark blood gathered from countless dead beings. She was also wearing a mask and thus her face couldn\'t be seen clearly. However, her aura and eye expression revealed a maturity and cruelty beyond her years. Nobody knows where she came from, but her strength was terrifyingly immense."
It\'s indeed her... Song Xiaojun!
After he finished listening to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s description, he went into a state of inner shock and agitation despite remaining unperturbed on the surface.
He could confirm without a doubt that the dark holy girl which the Celestial Phoenix Maiden was talking about was Song Xiaojun.
For an instant, the figure of a petite and delicate little girl flashed across his mind involuntarily.
It was the Song Xiaojun who, wearing an oversized robe, stood in front of everyone and protected him, and even after returning to the Unmoving City of Darkness, secretly protected him on many occasions despite having lost her memory. Ye Qingyu had never expected that the Unmoving City of Darkness would once again appear on the Road of Chaos, and that Song Xiaojun\'s strength would become frightening enough to be comparable to that of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.
Generally speaking, he should be happy to hear that she had reappeared and that her strength had increased so rapidly.
However, he could not feel happy at present.
This was because, according to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s account, the Unmoving City of Darkness and the Phoenix Race were in a state of mutual disagreement, and the differences between them were not what he could solve. More importantly, he would not wish for anything bad to happen to either the Celestial Phoenix Maiden or Song Xiaojun, especially the latter...
He turned his head back to look at the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, intending to ask her some more questions concerning the dark holy girl.
Just then, without any warning, a bright pale-red splendor suddenly flickered out of nowhere in the room.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s expression unexpectedly changed as she peered at it.
Turning her head, she stared attentively at Ye Qingyu as if she wanted to firmly remember his appearance deep in her heart.
"Time\'s up. My race elder is urging me to hurry. I have to go..."
There was a sense of frustration in her tone.
Briefly stunned, Ye Qingyu near-instinctively asked, "Go where?"
However, a beam of silver light suddenly flashed past him before the Celestial Phoenix Maiden had said another word.
The next instant.
Before an astounded-looking Ye Qingyu, who still had a bag full of questions, could react, he was completely shrouded in a silver formation splendor and was teleported out of the room.
At the same time as his figure gradually disappeared into the air, two ripples subtly undulated in the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s room before two beams of light emerged from them.
One was the pretty, frosty, and yet still a tad immature Little Princess of the Black Demon Race, who was wearing a silver battle garment.
The other was the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s guardian.
"Your Highness, everything has been prepared. The elites from the [Blazing Hall] have already set off for the battlefield in advance..." The guardian elder looked at the Celestial Phoenix Maiden with anguish and reluctance flashing across his eyes. After all, as her guardian, he had followed beside her for many years and had practically watched her grow up, and thus certainly knew what her intention was for this undertaking.
She briefly acknowledged and subconsciously nodded, yet there was still an unconcern in her eyes.
Seeing this, the guardian elder sighed inwardly.
He had truly never expected that the proud and supreme jewel of his race that was this cold-as-a-never-melting-iceberg goddess, who was also the Heaven\'s prideling that had protected the Phoenix Race from countless foreign races which pursued it covetously, would within such a short time become enamored of a nobody from a Human Race lower domain because of a trip to the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss.
As someone who had seen it all and followed beside the Celestial Phoenix Maiden for the longest time, he naturally understood her best.
It was just that this degree of understanding was still a long way from knowing the extent to which the Celestial Phoenix Maiden could be captured emotionally.
Yes, the guardian elder was by now already clearly aware that only one word could describe the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s feelings toward Ye Qingyu, and that was - captured.
Given her character, once she was captured emotionally, it would remain that way until her death. No matter what happened, she would absolutely not turn back, and would never change the target of her affection. That was why during the moment when he saw Ye Qingyu holding hands with the Heaven Wasteland empress as they walked onto the Saint Hearing Platform, his heart felt like it was being violently seized by something, and he had an impulse to rush forward and slice apart that pair of hands.
Until this day, even he himself could not help wondering if, back then on the Fierce Beast Peak of Taowu Mountain Range, his agreement and insistence that Ye Qingyu follow the Celestial Phoenix Maiden into the Door of Life was the right decision or an absurdly erroneous one.
If not for the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss, perhaps the Celestial Phoenix Maiden would not be like this today?
Although the Phoenix Race is no doubt an ally of the Human Race, yet honestly speaking, how many years has it been since a member of the Phoenix Race married into the Human Race? It has been so many years that even I, who have lived for several thousand years and counting, can\'t remember clearly. Besides, how can the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, who is the pearl that would decide the destiny and future of the Phoenix Race, marry to a nobody from the Human Race?
Even if he\'s a supreme Heaven\'s prideling of the Human Race, marrying the Celestial Phoenix Maiden would be something unlikely.
Moreover, although he does enjoy a certain reputation at present and has caused quite a stir already, he\'s still a long, long way from the level of a supreme Heaven\'s prideling.
On several occasions, the guardian elder had wanted to talk sense into the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, yet when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he was unable to say anything after looking into her limpid eyes.
He sighed deep down and buried these thoughts in his heart, without thinking about anything else.
This was because he knew that there was something more important for the Celestial Phoenix Maiden to do at this time.
The situation that would soon transpire also caused him a fair amount of headache.
He fully understood the importance of the upcoming battle to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.
Therefore, he eventually put his loving heart down and spoke firmly, "Your Highness, you must get started as soon as possible, or otherwise, our elites will be leaderless in the dark prison battlefield, and the situation will become even more disadvantageous."
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden nodded.
However, there was a complicated look in his eyes as he continued to ponder over something.
Beside him was the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race, whose reasons for appearing here were unknown. She blinked her alert large eyes as she looked all around the room, before returning her gaze on to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, when she could not help laughing mischievously.
"Haha... Elder sister, you look... Huh? You\'ve fallen for Ye Qingyu, right? Don\'t deny it. Why else would you not mind putting the Phoenix Race\'s battle to one side, while dragging your injured body tens of millions of Kilometers to get here, just for the sake of seeing him?
"You little kid... It was just that I\'d promised him to come here for the Heaven Wasteland Domain\'s grading." The Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s expression and tone became natural once more, yet deep down, she did not refute the Little Princess\' version of things.
"Oh, looks like you\'ve really fallen for him. Haha, a single promise can make you rush like this at such a critical moment. Seems like this promise must be very important..." Revealing an expression of sudden enlightenment, the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race hurriedly placed her hands behind her back and purposely posed as if she had arrived at a conclusion, "Elder sister, you\'re in love."
"What do you even know." The Celestial Phoenix Maiden gave a glare with her beautiful eyes.
Over several cooperations, the relationship between the Black Demon Abyss and the Phoenix Race had entered a honeymoon period. Furthermore, because they were of the same gender, and had been in a life-and-death situation together in the 18th district of the Black Demon Abyss, the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden found out that their personalities were exceptionally agreeable, and thus they got along like close friends.
The Little Princess of the Black Demon Race made nothing of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s flat denial.
She nodded thoughtfully and said, "Hee hee, don\'t deny it. Actually, it\'s normal that you would like him. Whether in terms of strength, potential, or bearing, Ye Qingyu can indeed be considered the best among the younger generation of all races. If I was born a few years earlier, I would also like him to bits."
"Little kid, you\'re becoming more and more nonsensical." The Celestial Phoenix Maiden took out a space bracelet and opened up a space gate in the room. "Looks like I have to get someone to send you back to the Black Demon Abyss."
While speaking, the three figures entered the space gate and disappeared on the spot.
Ye Qingyu did not know about the conversation that took place in that room after he left.
Evidently, the last-minute teleportation was not controlled by the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, who Ye Qingyu wanted to pose a few more questions to, especially regarding the Unmoving City of Darkness which was one of his sore points. If he could find out the cause of the conflict between the Phoenix Race and the Unmoving City of Darkness, perhaps he could defuse it...
