Jiuyao frowned and pried open the fingers that were clasped around his wrist one by one.

The fact that he's still concerned about this guy's life or death is already a huge favor to the Phoenix Clan.

Just as Jiuyao was about to pry open Feng Ji'an's hand, the person who was still unconscious suddenly opened his eyes.

There was not a trace of confusion in his eyes, only clarity.

It doesn't look like someone who has been in a coma has woken up at all.

Jiuyao pursed his lips, but felt even more annoyed. He knew this person was playing him.

He threw away the last bit of pity in his heart; anyone who felt sorry for this dead bald chicken was an idiot!

He forcefully shook off Feng Ji'an's hand, and Feng Ji'an was thrown to the side by the force, but still refused to let go.

He thought he could easily explain it to Jiuyao.

But it seems that's not the case now.

The Nine Luminaries, however, showed no fluctuation whatsoever.

Why?

It was clearly Feng Ji'an who broke off contact first, so who is she trying to fool with this pitiful act?

"Feng Ji'an, is this really necessary?"

"Since it's just a fleeting affair, let's not dwell on it."

"When I had no memory of it, you saw me looking foolish and eagerly trying to get close to you. You must have been laughing at me in your heart, right?"

"Or perhaps our young master Feng hasn't forgotten that time, feels indebted, and has come to save me, his casual lover?"

"Feng Ji'an, let me tell you, I don't need your pity!"

"The nine luminaries under the Divine Lord have never been objects to be bullied!"

Feng Ji'an was in pain all over his body. The broken bones felt like a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart. The tingling, itchy pain made cold sweat pour down his forehead.

Unlike Shen Juan and Jiu Yao, who were ancient gods and ferocious beasts, he possessed extremely strong self-healing abilities.

Given the severity of his injuries back then, he was on the verge of death and should have been reborn.

But the one from Su Chen Mountain and Jiu Yao simply couldn't wait.

The longer the time dragged on, the more their souls scattered.

He endured his injuries until now to return.

The elders in his clan urged him to return to his ancestral home for a rebirth.

But he couldn't wait.

He's already made Xiao Jiu wait so long, how can he make him wait any longer?

Despite the objections of his elders, the first thing he did upon returning was to look for Xiao Jiu.

But Xiao Jiu... seems to...

Hate him?

His head was buzzing, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't hear what Jiu Yao was saying.

What kind of fleeting romance?

What mockery?

What's pitiful about it?

What exactly is Xiao Jiu saying?

All he knew was that he didn't want Jiuyao to leave.

He didn't want Xiao Jiu to hate him.

Feng Ji'an gripped Jiu Yao's hand even tighter.

Jiuyao lost his patience and didn't want to watch Feng Ji'an's act anymore.

He refused to believe that he couldn't pry open Feng Ji'an's hand with two hands.

Feng Ji'an felt his hands being pried open little by little.

He shook his head, looked up in the direction of the boy, his eyes full of pleading.

"No, Xiao Jiu, no..."

Hearing this title only made Jiuyao even angrier.

I recall the time when I, as a system, had no memories.

Was he also watching him and making a fool of himself?

His hand movements became even more ruthless.

The moment their hands separated, Feng Ji'an, seemingly out of nowhere, suddenly stood up and tackled Jiu Yao to the ground.

She had the strength to lunge at him, but not the strength to stand firm.

Jiuyao's happy expression was still frozen on his face when Feng Ji'an pulled him to the ground.

Feng Ji'an was like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood for survival.

She held Jiuyao tightly, as if trying to meld the boy into her very bones.

Jiuyao tried to push the person off him, but Feng Ji'an was trembling violently.

He can't distinguish between reality and illusion.

Only the scene of Nine Luminaries Scattering Souls played repeatedly before my eyes.

It's as if he's gone back to those years.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, he could not find even a trace of the Nine Luminaries.

His wings draped over Xiao Jiu, but they couldn't warm her up no matter what he did.

so cold...

It's so cold.

That silent body was as cold as a block of ice.

No matter how he tried to cheer him up, he wouldn't answer.

"Xiao Jiu, where are you?"

"Why is it so cold?"

"Xiao Jiu..."

Feng Ji'an couldn't wake up, but she still instinctively hugged Jiu Yao, her voice trembling, feeling wronged and pitiful.

Jiuyao frowned, realizing that something was wrong with Feng Ji'an, and gently nudged Feng Ji'an's shoulder.

"Feng Ji'an, are you alright?"

"You're pressing down on me, get up first."

Feng Ji'an seemed to have been touched on the place in her heart that she feared most.

He trembled and hugged the person even tighter.

"Xiao Jiu, don't go, please..."

In his hazy consciousness, he saw Jiu Yao's back again and again.

"Xiao Jiu,"

"Xiao Jiu,"

"Little Nine."

"It hurts so much... Where are you?"

Her voice was aggrieved and bewildered, filled with deep despair, easily making people feel sad.

Jiuyao frowned, feeling that Feng Ji'an's current condition was like a nightmare, and he was considering whether to knock him unconscious.

Loud phoenix cries came from all directions, swirling above their heads.

Jiuyao looked up.

Yo ho.

There are so many people from the Phoenix Clan.

He instinctively raised his hands, looking completely innocent.

He's not eager to ruin the Phoenix Clan's cabbages.

It was this cabbage that attacked him.

Those old scoundrels from the Phoenix Clan never liked him. In the past, when he fought with Shen Juan on Phoenix Clan territory, they were always furious.

Jiuyao didn't want to be framed by them.

It was Feng Ji'an who did it, not him who was lustful.

Several phoenixes slowly descended and transformed into human form.

Several people formed a circle, looking down at the two people lying on the ground, their bodies intertwined.

Jiuyao raised his hand, and Feng Ji'an hugged him and cried.

It really makes him seem like a scumbag who starts a relationship and then abandons it.

Jiuyao rolled his eyes, utterly despondent.

Numb, let it all end.

What is social death?

It is now.

Xiao Jiu hadn't met many members of the Phoenix Clan, but he knew these people in front of him weren't the same old scoundrels he'd seen before.

Two women and three men.

Four of them did not look well.

Only one gentle-looking young man spoke, the kind of person who immediately won people's favor.

He crouched down, a smile gleaming in his eyes. "You're Jiu Yao?"

Jiuyao, however, did not lower his guard in the slightest because of the man's gentle attitude and kind words.

He looked at the person and asked, "And who are you?"

Feng Huai'an smiled.

He pointed to Feng Ji'an, who was crying pitifully and miserably, and said, "I am Xiao Liu's fifth brother."

Jiuyao pursed his lips and remained silent.

Feng Huai'an continued, "Can you help us bring Xiao Liu back to the Phoenix Clan?"

Jiu Yao stared at the person in front of him, scrutinizing every expression on his face, but Feng Huai'an remained gentle, quietly waiting for Jiu Yao's answer.

There was no coercion whatsoever; it was all sincerity.

It was as if he were truly an older brother worried about his younger brother and wanted him to help him.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

Jiuyao is not an unreasonable person.

Moreover, he can also hand this guy over to his clansmen, thus eliminating a burden. Why not?

Jiuyao nodded.

Then, frowning, he added,

"Sure, but I'll only help you take him back."

The subtext is: once you bring him back, keep an eye on Feng Ji'an and prevent him from going crazy; whatever happens afterward has nothing to do with him.

He was born free-spirited, unrestrained, and a true individual.

Unlike Feng Ji'an, who has so many clansmen worried about him.

He only asked that these people stop bothering him.

If we really push him too far, we can simply have the adults send him back to the Chaos Land.

They can hide for three to five hundred years.

It wasn't a big deal for him.

Anyway, he was in chaos from birth, and spent so many years all by himself.

Feng Huai'an was taken aback and looked at the boy in front of him with a childlike face in surprise.

He tentatively asked, "Do you really dislike Xiao Liu?"

Jiuyao seemed surprised that Feng Huai'an would ask such a question.

Why can't I hate him?
