575. Chapter 575 Worth It (1/2)
Eh?
Eh? ? ?
Xiao Yan looked at Feng Qing'er, then at Fenghuang. The instinctive joy of being spared from death had not yet surged into his heart, and Fenghuang's words made his mind go blank for a few rounds.
Fenghuang also saw Xiao Yan's blank eyes, put one hand on his waist, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"Although you are worthy of Qing'er's life, it seems that your brain is not so good." Fenghuang slowly raised his arm and pointed a finger at the sky, "Boy, how much effort do you think I need to take your lives?"
"Do you really think I have so much extra time to play such a boring game with you ants?"
The moment the voice fell, the light bloomed from Fenghuang's fingers, and at the height of thousands of meters, a destructive energy that was enough to destroy the entire city instantly erupted, and even the air and sound were instantly drained, causing Xingchuan City, which was illuminated by the sun, to lose the light that lasted for several seconds.
After a long time, when the light was restored, everyone stared blankly at the vast sky. Nothing was left, even the clouds in the sky disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Xiao Yan felt for the first time what powerlessness and true despair were.
All under the sky are ants, this is the best interpretation of Dou Sheng!
No matter how strong your faith is, no matter how firm your determination is, it is nothing in front of this power.
When Xiao Yan was dizzy, the cold voice of the phoenix slowly reached his ears.
"Remember this powerlessness and despair, kid. Not everything can be solved with passion." Phoenix looked down at Xiao Yan, her tone very calm, "I call you ants not just because of contempt, but more of a statement of fact."
"You are lucky to be alive today. Qing'er used her life as a bet to fight for you to prove to me."
"But don't think that you can always be lucky."
Phoenix slowly bent down, stretched out her hand to grab Xiao Yan's collar, staring at him intently.
"This is the last time. If Qing'er puts herself in danger because of you again in the future, I will never let you off easily."
Then Phoenix put Xiao Yan on the ground, straightened her slender body, looked at Xiao Yan and left a sentence.
"As I said before, Qing'er took the initiative to leave the Tianyao Phoenix Clan because of protecting the Taixu Ancient Dragon. She will leave her in your hands in the future."
After speaking, Phoenix turned around and looked at Huang Xuan.
"Let's go back."
"Yes, sir!"
Huang Xuan responded immediately, and then formed seals with both hands, and a space door appeared here. Before entering the door, Feng Huang took a last look at the still unconscious Feng Qing'er, with deep tenderness in her eyes.
Sister, the future road depends on Qing'er, this child will walk by herself, and this is also her own decision.
You should not blame me.
Phoenix retracted her gaze and stepped into the space door, and Huang Xuan followed closely.
Then the space door closed, leaving Xiao Yan and the others stunned in this miserable Xingchuan City, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
In the space channel, Huang Xuan followed behind Feng Huang and asked worriedly.
"Lord Feng Huang, are you really going to expel Miss Qing'er from the Tian Yao Huang Clan?"
"It's not me who expelled her, but she voluntarily left."
Phoenix responded lightly, making Huang Xuan's expression tense.
"But Miss Qing'er is the daughter of the clan leader after all."
"She protected Taixu Ancient Dragon in front of me, the leader of the Three Phoenixes. If she wasn't the daughter of the clan leader, this matter would not be so easy to end. It is because of the clan leader's face that she was allowed to leave the Tianyao Phoenix clan safely. Don't mention this matter again."
".Yes."
Hearing Fenghuang's resolute response, Huangxuan stopped talking, and the two walked in silence in the space channel.
Just as they were about to leave the space channel, Fenghuang suddenly asked.
"What do you think of that kid?"
Huangxuan was stunned, and then immediately understood that the kid Fenghuang was talking about was Xiao Yan. After hesitating for a while, he responded.
"He acted rashly and didn't consider the consequences, but he was worthy of recognition for saving Miss Qing'er at the cost of his life."
Huangxuan's words were very objective, without any selfishness.
Xiao Yan's behavior of stopping Fenghuang from leaving and even trying to snatch the essence and blood from Fenghuang could only be described as reckless, and it was even an understatement.
But even so, he was doing it for Feng Qing'er, there was no doubt about it.
However, after hearing Huang Xuan's answer, Fenghuang chuckled, with a hint of mockery in her laughter.
"It's true that he acted rashly, but it's unfair to say that he didn't consider the consequences." Fenghuang glanced at Huang Xuan and said lightly: "Whether he was hostile to me at the beginning or gave up his life to save Qing'er in the end, I clearly saw fear in his eyes."
"That kid must be afraid of death, or there are few people in this world who are not afraid of death."
"However, he still did it, even though he knew what he would face."
Phoenix paused, and continued in Huang Xuan's stunned eyes.
"Whether it's a guy who claims to be brave and fearless in the face of the weak, or a fool who rushes towards the strong because he has no knowledge of danger, I have seen a lot of them."
"But that kid is different. He knew what he would encounter, and he was extremely scared and even wanted to retreat, but he still stood up."
"Even though he knew very well that he might not be able to change anything even if he stood up, and it was even possible that he would die in vain, he still stood up."
"Not only him, but also those who followed him, were willing to sacrifice their lives for his recklessness."
"Don't you think Qing'er's performance this time is very similar to that boy?"
Fenghuang's words made Huangxuan suddenly stunned, and he thought about it carefully in his heart.
Yes, it is true.
Feng Qing'er knew that Xiao Yan and others could not compete with Fenghuang, so she asked Fenghuang to leave on the condition of leaving the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and handing over her blood essence.
But how could she be sure that Fenghuang would accept her request?
With Fenghuang's strength, she could be arrogant. Even if Feng Qing'er paid with her life, she would probably not let Zi Yan go with her hatred for Taixu Ancient Dragon, and would not show mercy to Xiao Yan and others who dared to stop her. Feng Qing'er herself should know this.
However, she still did it, risking her life for the unknown result.
Just as Huang Xuan was stunned, the voice of the Phoenix came into his ears again.
"I have been regretting one thing for so many years."
"Why didn't I rush up and fight with the Taixu Ancient Dragon when I saw my sister being killed by the Taixu Ancient Dragon?"
"Indeed, my strength was not good at that time. Even if I rushed up and fought with the opponent, I might end up being buried with my sister." "So at that time, I persuaded myself rationally in my heart."
"Leave first, rushing forward will only sacrifice in vain, there will be a chance for revenge in the future."
"However, over the years, I did use this as motivation to improve my strength, and even sat on the position of the head of the Three Phoenixes, but I never encountered a chance for revenge, and I didn't even know where my enemies were."
"Every time I think of the ancient Taixu dragon that killed my sister, it is very likely that it has died in a battle in these years, and I regret my decision at the time."
"Why didn't I rush forward at that time? Why didn't I avenge my sister on the spot? Why did I find excuses for myself at that time?"
"This regret should accompany me for the rest of my life."
The voice of the Phoenix became more and more depressed. Huang Xuan was stunned for a long time and spoke quickly.
"Lord Phoenix, your original decision was not wrong."
"It has nothing to do with right or wrong. No matter what kind of decision you make, you can't predict whether the result will be correct or not in advance." Phoenix interrupted Huang Xuan's words and continued, "But I do regret it now, there is no doubt about it."
"If I were to do it again, I would definitely rush up and fight with that Taixu Ancient Dragon without hesitation, even if I would die."
"After all, it is impossible for a person to always make the right choice in his life, and no one dares to say that his choice is always correct."
"Compared to whether it is right or not, the first thing to care about should be whether your current decision will make you regret it in the future. Otherwise, even if you survive by your own choice, you will only have regrets for the rest of your life."
"I wanted to find an opportunity to tell Qing'er about this truth, hoping that she will no longer make choices that she regrets like she did in the past."
Phoenix exhaled lightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
"It seems that it is no longer necessary now."
"The child has been found, and it will never make a choice that I regret."
Three days have passed since Phoenix left.
"Hmm"
Feng Qing'er whimpered softly, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the familiar ceiling in front of her.
Feng Qing'er's hazy brain immediately distinguished that this was her room in Fenglei Pavilion.
Am I still alive?
Feng Qing'er supported the bed and sat up with some difficulty, with confusion in her eyes.
I should be dead, right?
All the blood and essence in my body were drawn out by me, there is no reason to be alive.
Thinking of this, Feng Qing'er raised her hand and gently touched her chest to sense it, and then she was shocked to find that all the blood and essence that had been drawn out by herself had returned.
What is going on?
Feng Qing'er's mind was very confused. Before she could figure it out, she noticed something in her peripheral vision. She tilted her head slightly. On the chair beside her bed, Xiao Yan was sleeping with his head down and his arms hugged. There was still some saliva at the corner of his mouth. From his slightly haggard face, Feng Qing'er could also see that Xiao Yan had been here for a long time.
At this moment, Xiao Yan shuddered suddenly, and opened his half-closed sleeping face. In his hazy vision, he saw Feng Qing'er who had sat up. He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, and his eyes showed joy.
"Feng Qing'er! Are you awake?!" Xiao Yan stood up, supported the bed with his hands and looked at Feng Qing'er, his face full of worry, "How is it? Is there any discomfort in your body?"
Looking at Xiao Yan who was so worried, Feng Qing'er responded softly.
"Don't worry, except for being a little weak, there is no problem with other things."
"That's good" Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at Feng Qing'er with a hint of anger on his face, "Feng Qing'er, who asked you to do that? I didn't ask you"
"Stop, are you going to give a long lecture to a patient who just woke up?" Feng Qing'er interrupted Xiao Yan's words, and then curled her lips in displeasure, "And let's forget about other people's lectures, but where do you get the qualifications? I heard Xiao Yixian mention what you did before in the Black Horn Region. Haven't you always been doing this? Why are you lecturing me here?"
"I"
Xiao Yan was speechless, and Feng Qing'er temporarily skipped this topic and asked.
"Tell me what happened that day after I fainted."
"Yes."
Xiao Yan nodded and began to tell Feng Qing'er about what happened that day.
After a few minutes, Feng Qing'er finally understood the general situation, and then glanced at Xiao Yan with contempt.
"Then, let me ask the question again, what qualifications do you have to lecture me?"
Xiao Yan's expression was slightly distorted, and he spread his hands at a loss.
"No, I'm different from you."
"What's the difference? You're a human and I'm not? Or are you superior to me? Why can't I do what you can do?"
Feng Qing'er's series of questions directly made Xiao Yan speechless. His mouth was open, but he didn't know how to refute.
Looking at Xiao Yan's very aggrieved expression, Feng Qing'er smiled softly, with tenderness in her eyes.
Feng Qing'er has seen many people with double standards, but Xiao Yan should be the only one with reverse double standards.
"I risked my life for you, and you also risked your life for me. This is an equal exchange, isn't it fair?" Feng Qing'er paused, and then said: "Xiao Yixian, and the other people around you must have been saved by you all the way. It's a pity that you can persist until now."
"The feeling of being a good person is terrible."
Feng Qing'er shrugged helplessly. Sacrificing one's life for others is easy to say, but it's too difficult to do it.
Especially in this situation, even he himself does not know whether his sacrifice is meaningful.
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, put this topic behind him, and then looked at Feng Qing'er with guilt.
"I'm sorry, because of Zi Yan, you were expelled from the Tian Yao Huang Clan."
You know, Feng Qing'er is the eldest daughter of the Tian Yao Huang Clan. Such an extremely noble identity was stripped away so easily, which really made Xiao Yan unforgettable.
In response, Feng Qing'er opened her mouth to correct.
"It's not that I was expelled, I took the initiative to leave. Don't change the concept. It has nothing to do with Zi Yan's child." Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Yan and told him seriously, "This is my own decision, a decision I will never regret."
Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Yan and said in a solemn voice in Xiao Yan's stunned eyes.
"Because you deserve me to do this, that's all." (End of this chapter)
