The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The emperor's appearance was beyond doubt, and the phoenix fires scattered throughout the forest were further proof of his identity.

There's only one thing that doesn't match: the age doesn't match.

Wu Wang gave a bitter smile: "In heaven and on earth, is there another phoenix egg that I've lost..."

"Besides, he and Emperor Yao are clearly cut from the same mold."

Ying Qing said, "I just received news from the Golden Crow Clan Chief that Emperor Yao has an illegitimate son who is several hundred years old."

Liao Jin's heart skipped a beat, and Wu Wang's mouth gaped open: "An illegitimate child?"

Yun Yici coughed lightly, reminding her, "Where did this news come from? It didn't come from Ming She, did it?"

The stupid snake they encountered was yelling that it had mistaken the imperial edict for an illegitimate child!

This is outrageous!

?

The person who had been tricked suddenly felt a chill run down their neck and subconsciously turned around to look at the unreachable figure on the high platform.

Di Yao hesitated for a moment before asking his younger sister, "A-Yun, was Feng Yin looking at me just now?"

The beautiful woman in the gorgeous red robe said expressionlessly, "Brother, you're overthinking it. She wasn't looking at you."

"But I have something to ask you."

Di Yao reluctantly withdrew his gaze. He said absentmindedly, "Ask away."

"Brother, in these past few hundred years, have you ever had any extramarital affairs?"

This time, Di Yao truly felt a strange chill rising up from behind.

He quickly set up a protective barrier, then turned to scold his oblivious sister: "What are you saying?"

Di Yun: "There are rumors circulating outside that you have an illegitimate child who has been living away from home and has even come to a land favored by the gods."

“But when I counted the number of people in the tribe, there were no extra suspicious people.”

Emperor Yao roared in fury, "Nonsense! I have no illegitimate child!"

Di Yun calmly said, "I also thought it was nonsense at first, but after I investigated, I found that it originated from the Ming Snake Clan, and they spoke with absolute certainty."

"Their people were also beaten."

"That female chieftain of the Ming Snake Clan even said she would capture that brat and bring him to you."

Emperor Yao was amused and annoyed: "Let her catch him! I'd like to see who dares to impersonate my son."

"Don't make a scene in front of Fengyin about this."

Having finally received news of the imperial edict, he coaxed Fengyin out to relax, but now he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to get closer to her.

Now that an illegitimate child has appeared, he's done all that work for nothing.

Moreover, he didn't have any illegitimate children at all!

He was truly wronged!

Di Yun pondered for a moment: "I understand, but I still have some lingering feelings for that person."

"Could it be Zhao'er who has arrived?"

Di Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "Go and verify this matter, but don't let Feng Yin know."

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

“The Heavenly Pillar has been damaged over the years. How could a child like him have made it here?”

After the brother and sister talked for a while, Di Yun left.

Emperor Yao then went up to Phoenix Terrace alone.

Before he could get close to Fengyin, who had her back to him, Fengyin didn't turn her head, but looked down at the phoenix cubs playing and frolicking together not far away.

Emperor Yao couldn't help but advise, "Isn't it enough that we now know Zhao'er is still alive?"

He thought Fengyin wouldn't answer.

The goddess, gazing into the distance, suddenly spoke: "It's different. Besides being Zhao'er's father, you are also the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan."

"But I am only Zhao'er's mother."

"After learning that he was alive, I couldn't help but want to see him."

"If I could really meet him, I would want it to last a long time and I could see him every day."

After a moment of struggle, Di Yao said, "Just now, A Yun told me that there is a little phoenix that has been wandering outside, which is very likely Zhao'er."

"Why don't we go and find that child?"

Di Yao, who was known for his integrity, was not afraid at all. He just wanted to find something for his partner to do as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't continue to get stuck in her own thoughts.

Fengyin turned her head and stared at him for a while.

She knew perfectly well that this was Di Yao's wicked idea, but she still couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

When she had nowhere to turn, she dreamed that Wuwang had lied to them.

Instead of throwing the imperial edict into the mortal realm, he hid it somewhere else in the divine realm.

Fengyin stood up and said, "Okay."

Her few words, however few, were enough to make Emperor Yao happy.

The two descended from the platform, and the phoenix cubs playing nearby gathered around.

Although they were called cubs, they had all transformed into young boys and girls, about the same height as Ji Yuan.

The tallest young man in the group saw Di Yao and Feng Yin come down from Phoenix Terrace and happily went to greet them.

"Uncle Di Yao, Aunt Feng Yin, where are you going?"

The young man speaking was Di Lan, Di Yun's first child and Di Yao's older brother.

Since Di Yao had not yet taken human form, Di Yao was hoping to take this opportunity to reconcile with his partner.

He didn't want a little one getting in the way, so he entrusted Di Yao to her father's care.

Di Yao had not been close to her parents for a long time, and she accepted this with pleasure, so she did not come along.

Emperor Yao felt a headache coming on when he saw this large group of cubs: "You all stay in the clan territory and don't run around."

"Your aunt and I are going for a walk outside."

Di Yao felt a little guilty, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Feng Yin refute him.

Since the incident involving the imperial edict, the Phoenix Clan has become more cautious about matters concerning their offspring.

For example, in this blessed land, Emperor Yao not only brought his sister along, but also several elders.

With more than enough manpower, he felt confident enough to take Fengyin out for a stroll.

Di Lan showed a knowing expression: "I understand, then you can go ahead, Uncle."

Once they were out of the children's sight, Di Yao stealthily reached out to hold his partner's hand.

Feng Yin casually brushed aside his sleeve, and his fingertips just happened to touch the other party's silky robe.

If I want to hold hands again, it will be deliberate.

While Emperor Yao was feeling down, Feng Yin asked, "Where are we supposed to find that child?"

Di Yao: "Huh?"

Feng Yin repeated, word by word, "Where is that child who looks like the Emperor's decree?"

Di Yao belatedly gasped; he hadn't asked!

He forgot to ask!

Feng Yin was furious. She suddenly said, "Actually, all we need to do is confirm whether that child is Zhao'er."

Do you still remember the Star-Attracting Technique?

Di Yao frowned: "Don't use that anymore."

Because the four directional gods are closely related to the stars, this so-called star-guiding technique is actually a divine method in which the practitioner consumes their own essence and blood to find people.

Using it even once is extremely taxing on your body.

They used quite a few methods to find the imperial edict back then.

But each desperate search only brought deeper disappointment.

He didn't want to disappoint her again.
