Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 569 The Elder Doesn't Want to Take Care of the Child 11

Seeing Zhao Zhao approach, Yue pitifully reached out her hand to him.

Ye slapped the table to get his attention.

To his surprise, the boy simply walked past him and headed straight for Xi Yan, saying, "I'm leaving now. The Third Elder needs to speak with me."

He was suddenly summoned to the royal palace, and he wondered if Nan Yu would be anxious.

Ignoring the two cubs, he walked outside. However, as soon as he stepped out of the palace, he saw a large phoenix flying rapidly towards the mountain peak not far away. Its bright yellow feathers were particularly dazzling in the direct sunlight.

"My little one!" The great phoenix cried out in surprise, quickly descending towards Zhao Zhao's direction and transforming into human form. Its handsome and sculpted face was full of doubt: "Why did you suddenly come to the royal palace? I've been looking for you for so long."

Fortunately, Zhao Zhao was found in the royal palace. Nan Yu grabbed Zhao Zhao's arm and looked her up and down: "What happened?"

Her pure yellow eyes were filled with unconcealed worry. Zhao Zhao took out a small stone and placed it in front of Nan Yu. Nan Yu recognized the object: "Isn't this the birthday gift you gave to the two young masters last time?"

Zhao Zhao nodded: "This is a summoning stone, a treasure I obtained by chance."

"Young Master Yue accidentally used this item just now, which summoned me to the royal palace."

Nan Yu's eyes widened: "How come I didn't know there were such treasures in this world?" He curiously leaned closer to see them up close.

Zhao Zhao smiled, pushed his head away, and changed the subject, saying, "Do you still want to go out and play now?"

Nan Yu's eyes lit up: "Of course!"

He affectionately put his arm around Zhao Zhao's shoulder and said dotingly, "Come on, the Third Elder will take you out to broaden your horizons."

Two pure-blooded phoenixes, one large and one small, headed towards the Phoenix Clan's boundary gate, streaking across the sky with two colors, one yellow and one blue, a beautiful and elegant sight.

Nan Yu suppressed his natural instinct to cry out and quietly and smoothly led Zhao Zhao out of the Phoenix Clan.

This was the first time Zhao Zhao had left the Phoenix Clan, who had protected him for a hundred years. As soon as he landed deep in the forest, he felt, whether it was psychological or not, that there was an unknown danger watching them from the outside.

Nan Yu stretched, his handsome face still beaming with a smile: "I'm free again!" Come to think of it, it had been almost a hundred years since he had left the Phoenix Clan's gates.

The outside environment was far less fragrant than that of the Phoenix Clan. Barren land could be seen everywhere in the forest, and other smells occasionally mingled in the air.

After a while, Zhao Zhao frowned. This was the first time the pampered elder of the Phoenix Clan had smelled such a rotten odor. She tugged at the sleeve of the elder beside her, feeling uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Nan Yu turned his head and saw Zhao Zhao's pale face and her covering her nose. Realizing something, he said with heartache, "It's my fault for not choosing a good landing spot."

The various spirit beasts in the Lingze Forest follow the law of the jungle, and the stench of decay permeates the area, indicating that a large animal must have died somewhere.

He raised his wide sleeve to cover Zhao Zhao's nose and quickly said, "I'll take you away."

"I'll take you somewhere else to play."

"No need." Zhao Zhao calmed her nausea, her curiosity prevailing: "What's that smell?"

The Phoenix Clan is a small, independent world within the Spirit Realm. The phoenixes and spirit birds there live a peaceful life, gathering nectar and picking fruit.

Therefore, the Phoenix Clan, which has no conflicts, will not have this putrid smell even in the wilderness.

Qingluan has a keen sense of smell, and Zhaozhao has strong mental power. Just as they were about to follow the scent, Nanyu put his arm around his shoulder and led him away.

"I've discovered a place with lots of things I've never seen before. I'm so curious, Zhao Zhao, come with me!" Nan Yu said with a smile.

He didn't want the filth outside to taint Zhao Zhao's pure eyes.

Zhao Zhao naturally wouldn't refuse her elder's request. Giving up what piqued her curiosity, she followed Nan Yu to an orchard.

The garden was filled with yellow, pink, and green fruits, each plump fruit hanging from the trees, and the air was filled with a fresh fruity fragrance.

Zhao Zhao's eyes flashed with surprise. The Phoenix Clan's orchard was larger than this one, but ultimately, something new and exciting was more appealing.

There are many fruits here that the Feng tribe doesn't have.

With a smile in her eyes, Zhao Zhao turned to Nan Yu and asked, "May I pick these fruits?"

Nan Yu smiled gently and earnestly instructed, "Orchards outside of the Phoenix Clan usually have owners."

"Picking fruit without permission is considered theft."

He patted Zhao Zhao's head and said, "Do you understand now, my little one?" Their Zhao Zhao was also a young man who was still inexperienced in the ways of the world, so there were many things that they needed to patiently teach him.

Zhao Zhao nodded, but despite her inner longing, she remained standing still.

Nan Yu smiled and said, "If you are interested in these fruits, you can wait here for the orchard owner to arrive, and after obtaining his consent, you can exchange some fruits with him at the same price."

Zhao Zhao nodded to indicate that he understood, but he lacked patience and said, "I don't want to wait, so let's go."

"Hey, hey, hey," Nan Yu stared at Zhao Zhao's departing figure, laughing helplessly, "You brat." He quickly followed Zhao Zhao's steps.

However, shortly after the two left, the thriving orchard attracted two more uninvited guests.

"Holy crap! The nose's come back to life!" The young cub looked around, then suddenly cried out angrily, "Where am I, Yue?!"

The cub in black and gold robes shook the cub of the same size in gold and red robes beside it, and said fiercely, "Didn't you say you sensed someone's location?"

"Where are the others?!"

He shoved Yue without hesitation, his eyes clearly showing impatience.

Yue folded her little hands and pitifully covered her nose: "It stinks!"

"How can you not stink to death?!" Ye roared.

I just passed through a certain place and almost made those two faint from the stench.

Driven by curiosity, Ye ran toward the source of the smell, and was almost so shocked by the disgusting scene that he could never eat a single bite of meat again.

Even now, thinking back on that taste still makes me feel nauseous.

"How could Yi Zhao be in a place like that? You must have led us astray!" Ye frowned, her delicate face turning fierce.

He was about to roar again when Yue blinked innocently, "If you don't believe me, then go find it yourself."

They had sneaked out, and he could sense that Xi Yan's aura was approaching their location. If Ye said anything more irrelevant, they would be caught by the Grand Elder.

Ye didn't sense Xi Yan's presence. Upon hearing his words, his temper flared up, and he didn't say another word.

Find it yourself!

The golden-black fire phoenix flew towards the sky, aimlessly searching for that familiar figure.

I don't know whether to say he's highly skilled and daring or that he's a fearless newborn calf, but a cub dared to venture out alone in this dangerous Lingze Forest.

Seeing that his annoying younger brother had finally stopped nagging in his ear, Yue released his vast spiritual power and sensed the auras in front of and behind him. He smiled.

"Brother Zhao Zhao~ I've come to find you~"
