Chapter 3910 4.1510 The Burden...

The little girl raised a hand to rub her nose, muttering to herself.

Mo Lian smiled and released Yan Qi, who transformed into a dragon and ascended to the sky. He carried the little girl onto the dragon's back.

Qiao Mu looked down and waved at Qi Xuanxuan and the others. "You all head back to the academy first."

"Okay!" Qi Xuanxuan, Little Fatty, and a few others stood among the Royal Academy students, waving repeatedly at her. "Finish your business quickly and return to the academy soon."

Qiao Mu nodded, waving goodbye to them. Yan Qi flicked his dragon tail, carrying them both away from Phoenix Wood Forest and soaring into the fluffy white clouds.

Mo Lian glanced back helplessly. "Why are these people insisting on following us?"

Qiao Mu looked back and couldn't help but raise a hand to her forehead.

A vast multitude of over two thousand Phoenix clan members were each riding their own flying spirit beasts, following them back to the city.

She had previously told Feng Heping that she hoped they would stay and cultivate in their Phoenix Wood Forest habitat.

After all, that was a rare and coveted Divine Domain, wasn't it?

But Feng Heping flatly refused, even pledging to her, "Where Grand Mistress Qiao Qiao goes, the Phoenix clan goes."

What could she do?

She was dragging over two thousand burdens back to the city...

"You don't need to worry about them," Grand Mistress Qiao Qiao coughed lightly, meeting Mo Lian's wronged little gaze. She couldn't help but twitch her mouth. "I'll arrange everything for them properly."

"How will you arrange it?"

Mo Lian peered at her with his small eyes. "Do you know what your Great Elder said to me with such a strange look, for a good half an hour?"

Qiao Mu quickly comforted him. "Don't be mad, don't be mad. The Great Elder is ignorant; why argue with an old man like him?"

Mo Lian, both annoyed and amused, hugged her, repeatedly rubbing his head against hers. "Why are you so annoying? Can't you just be good and stop provoking others everywhere?"

At this, Grand Mistress Qiao Qiao immediately retorted, "Who did I provoke?"

"Do you know what that Great Elder of yours once came to tell me?"

"Tell you what?" Qiao Mu looked at him, puzzled.

"Feng Heping said that you are the Saintess worshipped by the Phoenix clan, and all Phoenix clan men would be honored to marry you!! The Phoenix clan is predominantly male, and there are two thousand Phoenix men. The remaining Phoenix women wouldn't mind being your concubines!"

What?!

Qiao Mu's mouth twitched. She quickly raised a hand to caress his chest, smoothing out his breath and calming him, while also using her small fist to gently iron out the gloom in his heart.

"Feng Heping, that muddle-headed old man, don't listen to him." I'll beat that smelly old man to death later. How could he scare Qiao Qiao's Lian like that?

"Don't worry, Qiao Qiao doesn't want anyone else. Qiao Qiao only wants Qiao Qiao's Lian." After murmuring this, the little girl looked up to see Mo Lian's handsome face, enlarged and right in front of her, his eyes filled with deep amusement.

"Oh, you tricked me!" She knew it! How could the Great Elder be so disrespectful to the elderly? How could he say such things to Qiao Qiao's Lian?

Mo Lian pouted.

He had only recounted a portion of what that fellow Feng Heping said. Feng Heping's words were clearly much more outrageous, okay?

He just knew that with so many pretty boys around Qiao Qiao, nothing good would come of it.

Why was he so miserable? He had to contend with people, with beasts, and now with an entire clan of bird people!

Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Luckily, he had been so far-sighted back then, securing his Qiao a step earlier in the Lower Star Domain.
