Chapter 293 Incubation Mission

Feng Yi gently stroked Lu Ling'er's hair. Those strands, which he had combed countless times, now lay scattered, as if time had stood still. His heart was filled with complex emotions, both unspeakable pain and unwavering faith. He knew that all this was only temporary; Lu Ling'er would soon complete her training and return even stronger than before.

According to Feng Yi's conversation with Hades, Li Yun, Lu Ling'er's soul must remain in the underworld for a period of time to complete her final training. The growth and tempering of her soul may make her more resilient and wiser, and he can only wait here, silently guarding her until she returns.

"My Ling'er, I'll wait for your return. The future of the Phoenix Clan is in your hands," Feng Yi whispered, his voice filled with a father's expectation and determination. He knew that Lu Ling'er had already fulfilled a significant part of her life's mission, and her next return would surely bring even greater glory to the Phoenix Clan.

Feng Yi stood quietly beside the altar, watching her lie there peacefully, as if she were still the daughter he had cherished and loved since childhood. A myriad of thoughts surged in his heart, yet he found some solace in this sacred aura. She would return, and he would always be here waiting for her.

Feng Yi stepped into Feng You Palace, his eyes immediately falling on the soft velvet cushions. Three phoenix eggs lay quietly there, emitting a soft glow of purple, red, and blue, complementing the delicately carved phoenix patterns around them. The entire palace was filled with the warmth of flowing spiritual energy.

Fengyou Palace is the exclusive place where Phoenix Clan cubs are hatched. It's permeated with spiritual formations, and even the air exudes a warm, protective feeling. However, even the most perfect environment can't mask the heaviness in Feng Yi's heart. He knows that Ling'er's husband, Yun Junrui, is currently unable to shoulder the responsibility of incubating a child; this burden must be passed on to the elders and brothers.

Zhangsun Qingyao sat beside the bed, her expression calm and serious, having clearly already arranged everything. She glanced at her three sons, her tone brimming with irresistible authority: "Jingheng, Ling'er and you are twins, a boy and a girl. Your aura is closest to hers. You will be responsible for incubating the purple phoenix egg."

"Yes, mother!" Lu Jingheng responded readily, but when he reached the purple phoenix egg, he seemed somewhat at a loss. He lowered his head to look at the egg, then secretly glanced at himself, hesitantly reaching out, unsure what to do.

Changsun Qingyao ignored his embarrassment and continued, "Ayan, the cyan phoenix egg is your responsibility."

Feng Jingyan immediately agreed and quickly walked over to the cyan phoenix egg. His eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement. "Mother, the aura of this egg is so strong, it seems to be born with the blood of the Fire Phoenix."

"Su'er." Changsun Qingyao turned her gaze towards Feng Jingsu, her voice calm but with a hint of pressure, "The red phoenix egg is your responsibility."

Feng Jingsu slowly walked over to the red phoenix egg, his eyes complex as he carefully observed the flowing flame patterns on the eggshell. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled teasingly, "Mother, I remember that my father and I hatched it all by ourselves. Why does it take all three of us brothers to hatch Yun Junrui's child?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a silence fell in Fengyou Palace. Lu Jingheng and Feng Jingyan exchanged a quick glance, then lowered their heads in tacit understanding, pretending to focus on their respective phoenix eggs.

Changsun Qingyao's expression instantly turned cold, her gaze piercing Feng Jingsu like a sharp blade. She spoke slowly, her voice calm but unyielding, "Su'er, it is your father's responsibility and honor to have you hatched. And Ling'er's child is her flesh and blood, the future of the Phoenix Clan. If you are unwilling to take on this responsibility, I can hand it over to the palace attendants. Alternatively, I can ask your father to come and hear your opinion directly."

Feng Jingsu was so overwhelmed by these words that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head: "Su'er wouldn't dare. As the Queen Mother taught me, Su'er will definitely do his best."

Changsun Qingyao stared at him coldly for a moment, then looked away. Her tone softened slightly but remained stern: "Remember your promise today. This is not only for Ling'er, but also for the future of the Phoenix Clan. If you are unwilling to shoulder even this little responsibility, how can you shoulder greater missions in the future?"

The three brothers agreed in unison, exchanged a knowing look with each other, and then sat down next to their own phoenix eggs and devoted themselves to the "hatching task" seriously.

Feng Yi watched all this quietly, his eyes deep. He walked over to Changsun Qingyao and whispered, "It's not a bad idea to be strict. When the children see these three phoenix eggs hatch, they'll naturally understand the weight of their responsibility."

Changsun Qingyao sighed slightly and looked at the eggshells with complicated eyes: "I hope so. If these three eggs can hatch safely, perhaps Ling'er will return from the underworld and the family will be reunited."

Feng Yi nodded gently, his tone low and firm: "No matter what, I will protect everything Ling'er left behind."

His gaze fell on the three phoenix eggs, radiating a soft glow, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination. The three phoenix eggs seemed to sense something, their halos flickering slightly, as if responding to his silent protection and expectation.
