Chapter 3894: Not Angry?

"We'll contact each other then," he said, reaching out and finally, unable to resist, stroking her small head. "The three prefectures should stand united and work together against Heaven's Fortune. Cangzhou won't drag you down."

"Don't go acting recklessly," Mo Lian muttered, glancing sideways at him. "Dealing with Heaven's Fortune isn't an overnight task. You must plan carefully before acting."

Qiao Mu looked up at her husband, thinking to herself: Arrogant Lian, clearly worried about him, yet his words are always so harsh.

Duan Yue snorted, giving him a disdainful look. "I'm just giving you a heads-up. Of course, we first have to deal with the immediate situation."

"Heaven's Fortune is making such a big move. Without my help, you won't even get past what's right in front of you!"

"Heh," Mo Lian scoffed in response, then turned to the rushing Xia Kui. "Are you all ready?"

Xia Kui nodded. "I have not failed your trust, Your Highness. All available combat personnel are here."

Mo Lian nodded slightly to him. "That's good."

"Let's prepare ourselves and head out."

Since Heaven's Fortune had sent such a grand wave of combat, they would gladly accept it and, while they were at it, flatten all these monsters.

Qiao Mu felt a headache thinking about the Phoenix Clan members. After a moment's thought, she said, "I'll go talk to Feng Heping."

She truly didn't understand why these people were inexplicably calling her Saintess.

Feng Heping saw the little girl come downstairs and head straight for him. He couldn't help but smile as he turned, bowing respectfully. "Saintess, are you looking for me?"

Qiao Mu sighed helplessly. "I have something to ask you. Please follow me to the small building."

It was too crowded and chaotic outside for them to talk comfortably.

Feng Heping naturally nodded and followed Qiao Mu into the small wooden building, saying with a smile, "Saintess, please ask any questions you have. I will definitely tell you everything without holding anything back!"

Little Qiao looked utterly exasperated. "Can you... stop calling me Saintess from now on? Just call me Qiao Mu!"

The title "Saintess" once again reminded her of that Nie Yaoguang character, making her feel utterly disgusted.

Feng Heping immediately shook his head in refusal. "How can that be? How can Phoenix Clan members address the Saintess by her given name?"

"Then call me 'Daren'!" The little stoic said expressionlessly, "Just remove the title of Saintess."

Feng Heping twitched his lips, suppressing a smile as he glanced at the little one. He nodded. "Since the Saintess insists, very well. From now on, Feng Heping and the clan members will refer to you as 'Qiao Qiao Daren'."

As the Chief Elder said this, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Qiao Mu: !

Who told you to randomly call me 'Qiao Qiao Daren'?

"I ask you, why do you insist on calling me Saintess?" This question had perplexed her endlessly.

"You revived our clan's sacred artifact. In our ancestors' sacred teachings, it is said that after thousands of years, if a woman appears who can communicate with the ten-thousand-year Phoenix Wood without hindrance, she shall be revered as our clan's Saintess."

"Now, you not only revived the Phoenix Wood but also caused it to voluntarily climb out of the ground and follow you! You are absolutely our Phoenix Clan's one-of-a-kind Saintess, Your Excellency!" Feng Heping's proud expression somehow made Qiao Mu feel a bit nauseated.

Don't you think it's quite a pain that it ran off? What's with that proud look?

"You're not angry?" she asked cautiously.

Feng Heping immediately shook his head.
