Heaven-defying Phoenix

However, although it was good that the place was bustling, Jiu Muli was still embarrassed. She did not care about anything else, but among the two great sages, other than Great Sages Yun Che, the other Great Sage Nu Feng, looked at her with a fervent gaze, as if he wished to immediately accept her as his disciple.    

Although Jiu Muli did not agree nor reject her, but she still felt pressure eating this meal, and upon thinking about it, she felt extremely envious of Blacky's ability to get along with a group of thugs.    

Because of this, Jiu Muli's identity instantly became known, and following that, the eyes of many cultivators in Blood Flame City became hot with envy. Most of them were envious of her, but as for her hatred for her, she did not discover it, and she did not mind at all.    

After all, with his father's status, even if someone hated her now, they wouldn't dare to be brazen.    

After the banquet, Great Sage Liu Yun and the rest quickly returned to the Devil Emperor's Palace. The battle here had already been resolved, so they did not plan to stay.    

Not long after the Devil Emperor's Palace left, Zhan Wushuang found Jiu Muli and said that he had something to do and needed to leave as well.    

"Is it urgent? Do you need my help?" Seeing this, Jiu Muli's brows twitched.    

Although Zhan Wushuang seemed to be an innocent and heartless person, he had helped her a lot, especially before she woke up. Thus, if the other party had any needs, she would not be stingy with her help.    

"No need, it's just that the auction house is about to open. I have to go back and take charge."    

Zhan Wushuang rejected and continued to speak with a bashful face: "Oh right, will you always be here in the future? How about I come and see you when I'm done? "    

"Not necessarily. Go ahead and busy yourself first. I might leave very soon."    

"Alright then."    

Zhan Wushuang's face was full of regret, but he did not stay any longer and quickly left.    

Watching Zhan Wushuang reluctantly leave, Feng Xinlan's heart moved. He pulled Jiu Muli into the room and asked: "Oh right, Xiao Lier, after so many years, is there anyone that you like?"    

"Ugh …"    

Jiu Muli was suddenly caught off guard by Feng Xinlan's question, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to be generous and said: "Yes, it's that Qin Zheng."    

"It's him?"    

Feng Xinlan frowned, and asked after some hesitation: "Why would he like you?"    

"Mother!"    

Jiu Muli was speechless, what was with that look of disdain?    

"Oh, I'm not saying that you're not good-looking, but I heard that the boy doesn't like women. At that time, there were rumours that you had hidden ailments." Feng Xinlan said worriedly.    

After Jiu Xuanling heard this, he agreed. "That's right, daughter, you must take note of this. I heard about it many times back then."    

They were, after all, from the Duke Zhen's Mansion back then, and Jiu Xuanling's achievements in battle were extremely high as well.    

What?!    

Jiu Muli was truly extremely embarrassed. She had previously mentioned that the experiences these few years brought up did not mean much to Qin Zheng. Now, she had truly received retribution.    

Fortunately, she had trained her skin these past few years. It was thick enough, so she immediately said in a bad mood, "What are you guys thinking? He was just a bad person at that time, so the past few years were much better. Those rumors can't be trusted."    

"That's right, grandpa and grandma, don't think too much. If there really was a problem, my master would not have treated him well until now." Blacky also helped to speak up.    

Although he didn't like Qin Zheng, he didn't want to offend him either.    

However, Blacky's words were too ambiguous. After he finished speaking, Jiu Xuanling and Feng Xinlan looked at each other and immediately understood.    

"What are you guys looking at me for?"    

Jiu Muli was completely baffled by her gaze.    

As he got more familiar with his father and daughter, the unfamiliarity that he had felt for them after ten years began to fade away, and was now a closeness that could be found deep within his bones.    

At the same time, she could also see Feng Xinlan's and his temperament. She did not know if it was because of the infection of the Devil Realm's Demonic Qi, or because of the increase in their cultivation, but both Feng Xinlan and Jiu Xuanling exuded an aura of dominance.    

"It's nothing, as long as there's no problem."    

Feng Xinlan heaved a sigh of relief, then chuckled: "Oh right, do you plan on having a child? Mom has told your dad many times that if she sees you in the future, she might be able to carry her grandson. "    

Jiu Muli was dumbstruck, and instantly understood what Feng Xinlan was referring to. He could not help but feel a heat in his ears, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Mother, what are you talking about?    

After saying that, she glared fiercely at Blacky. This fellow had definitely done it on purpose.    

"Alright, it's good that you're not married."    

Feng Xinlan finally understood and felt a bit awkward, but he was still curious: "Then what realm is he in now? However … his level of insight was too low.    

After all, the realm was too low, and the difference in realm of longevity s was too great. Feng Xinlan didn't want Jiu Muli to become a widow not long after he got married, not to mention that it would take him a very long time.    

This was one of the limitations among Cultivators. Because of this, all of the Chosen would marry very late. After all, the higher their Cultivation base, the longer their lifespan. No one wanted their beloved to be ahead of them.    

It was also because of this that Feng Xinlan did his utmost to cultivate, and in a few short years, became a Great Emperor.    

"I'm much stronger than you, mom. Don't worry." Jiu Muli was helpless.    

Speaking of which, she and Qin Zheng was really fated.    

Blacky also nodded, then chuckled: "Uncle, Grandma, don't worry, that Qin Zheng is the son of Holy Lord, he won't be long until he becomes a saint."    

"What!"    

When the Blacky revealed the big news, the husband and wife were shocked. They had heard Jiu Muli mention Jiu Muli earlier and did not think much of it, but they never expected that Qin Zheng actually had such an identity.    

Jiu Muli did not hide anything from him, and immediately revealed Qin Zheng's identity, since this sort of thing had already spread throughout the Three Immortal Heavens.    

Even if it was the Devil Realm, if they truly wanted to know, they would probably be able to easily find out as Devil Realm and the Three Immortal Heavens were very close after all, and they could be considered to be on friendly terms. Otherwise, Qin Cangyun wouldn't have attacked them for the sake of the god corpse not too long ago.    

Seeing that he could not hide it anymore, Jiu Muli briefly explained to her what happened in Three Immortal Heavens.    

But right after Jiu Muli said that, Jiu Xuanling became embarrassed and laughed: "I originally wanted to know why you didn't want to become my disciple. So you actually have this kind of relationship with me, this is good, very good!"    

Jiu Muli was also a little embarrassed, after all, her identity was still the same as Qin Zheng's, so she quickly changed the topic: "Right, Father, Mother, I came this time to bring you two back, what do you think?"    

"This …"    

Feng Xinlan was similarly hesitant. After a long while, he sighed: "Xiao Lier, I believe you also know how father came to this place. If you were to leave now, you probably won't be able to make it in the short term."    

"Are you used to this place?"    

Jiu Muli raised his eyebrows, looking deep in thought.
