The Phoenix Comes (Part 1 Continuation)

In a month, Fenglai had grown up like a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, and his mind and strength had grown along with his body. After Fenglai accidentally melted the alchemy furnace, Liuyu knew that he was powerful and would definitely not let other monsters bully him, so he no longer watched him so closely.

But Fenglai still liked to stick to Liuyu, unless Liuyu explicitly asked him to do something, at other times, he would just sit aside and stare at Liuyu in a daze, unwilling to run away. Liu Yu was very confident in him and never looked at Feng Lai with the eyes of a Immortal Realm beast, but...

"After all, he has the blood of a Immortal Realm beast. Why do you let him move around like this!"

That day, Liu Yu was tinkering with the elixir in the alchemy room. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Shen Muyue walked into the room with an angry look and shouted, "Come with me to the front yard!"

"He just went to the front yard to help me get something." Liu Yu turned back in astonishment: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong!" Shen Muyue stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yu's hand, dragging her out the door. The medicinal materials Liu Yu was holding were scattered all over the floor. She frowned slightly, but she was stunned when she stepped out of the door. There was a fire in the direction of the front yard. Liu Yu was stunned. Shen Muyue was about to speak, but suddenly saw Liu Yu's figure flash and disappeared.

Walking to the front yard, Liu Yu's black pupils were dyed red by the fire. The houses and plants were all covered with blazing flames. Some people even caught fire and screamed and rolled on the ground. Those who were not burned by the fire fled in all directions.

The scene was in chaos. Liu Yu looked around in panic. In the heavy firelight, he suddenly saw Feng Lai standing quietly in black clothes. There were four or five people in front of him trapped in a circle of flames. It seemed that someone had suffocated and fainted. Feng Lai stared at them with terrifyingly red eyes, but there was no expression in his eyes. Just like the other monsters created by Liu Ming, he was a monster who loved bloodlust and had no emotions.

"Feng Lai..." Liu Yu's voice trembled slightly. She rushed forward and stretched out her hand to grab his wrist as usual, but she didn't expect Feng Lai to turn around suddenly. His bloody and terrifying eyes looked into Liu Yu's eyes.

The hot and scorching murderous aura pierced Liu Yu's heart like a sword. Liu Yu was stunned. Before she could react, Feng Lai suddenly raised his hand, and the flames of fire brushed across Liu Yu's neck like a knife.

In a flash, Liu Yu felt the back of her clothes tightened and was dragged back several steps. She barely avoided this fatal blow. "Are you crazy? Don't you know he is a monster!" Shen Muyue's scolding sounded behind her.

Liu Yu turned her head slightly and looked at her in a daze: "Senior sister... I..." She just didn't think Feng Lai would hurt her. But before she could finish her words, a mouthful of hot blood suddenly gushed out of her mouth. Shen Muyue was startled: "Liu Yu!" Liu Yu was also startled: "Why..."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly felt weak, her feet softened, and she fell into Shen Muyue's arms. She gasped and covered her chest, feeling as if there was a fire burning in her chest. "Where are you hurt?"

Shen Muyue checked her neck and saw a red mark of burns on her neck. There were no wounds elsewhere, but Liu Yu seemed to be in great pain. She covered her chest and didn't say a word. Shen Muyue was anxious, but she saw that she was about to close her eyes and kept calling her name. Just when she was anxious, someone suddenly knelt down beside her. Shen Muyue froze all over.

Just when she wanted to take Liu Yu away, she didn't expect a pair of hands that were still a little tender to hold Liu Yu's palm tightly. Those hands seemed to have taken away the heat in Liu Yu's body, making Liu Yu's breathing gradually smoother. The flames around them slowly died down.

Shen Muyue frowned slightly, her eyes still alert.

She turned back to stare at Fenglai, only to see the young man hanging his head, tears falling on Liu Yu's hands, and he kept apologizing: "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it..."

He was so frightened that he looked like a criminal who was about to be executed.

Shen Muyue was stunned, but when she saw that Liu Yu's breath had stabilized, and Fenglai was like this, she turned her head and asked the people who were surrounded by the flames: "What's going on!" One of the five people had fainted from suffocation, and the remaining four were all limp and sat on the ground.

One of them said in a trembling voice: "I... We just questioned the current behavior of the Immortal Realm Lord." He seemed to be still frightened, "But if we said a few words to the Immortal Realm Lord, aren't we guilty of death?"

Shen Muyue was silent, and turned to look at Fenglai again. Fenglai didn't say a word of defense, but just focused on Liu Yu, as if nothing else had anything to do with him. When he saw Liu Yu's closed eyes tremble twice, he breathed lightly, as if he was afraid of scaring Liu Yu. "Really?" Liu Yu opened her eyes, looked at Feng Lai, and asked with a weak breath, "Is this... the reason you killed them?"

Feng Lai was stunned, stared at her eyes for a long time, and lowered her head and said, "They also said bad things about you..." This should be a lesson for him, but when Feng Lai said this, Liu Yu suddenly seemed to have lost all the reasons to teach him a lesson.

This child got so angry because of her... Liu Yu struggled to sit up, looked around, and sighed, "That shouldn't be."

" I was wrong." Liu Yu looked at him quietly: "What else?" "I'm sorry." At this point, everyone had nothing to say.

Feng Lai was a monster created by Liu Ming, and no one had the right to punish him, not even Liu Yu. Getting an apology was already very good compared to those companions who were eaten by other monsters.

Shen Muyue asked Liu Yu softly, "Can you still walk?" Liu Yu nodded, and Shen Muyue did not delay any longer. She stood up and immediately arranged for people to clean up the scene and treat the injured.

Liu Yu looked at her back quietly and said with emotion, "If Senior Sister can be in a ruling position one day, she must be very capable and courageous." "Go back and rest." Shen Muyue said this lightly and walked away. Liu Yu smiled at her back as she walked away, and wanted to stand up, but his legs were still weak.

Feng Lai next to him squatted silently, with his back facing Liu Yu. Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and didn't hesitate to hug his neck and let him carry him on his back. "Feng Lai." Leaving the front yard and walking on the quiet path, Liu Yu spoke softly, "Why... did you attack me? Can't you control it?" Feng Lai paused: "Are you... still not feeling well?"

Liu Yu was startled, then smiled and said, "It's okay now." Feng Lai was silent for a moment: "When I heard what they said, I just felt very angry, and then I didn't know what happened." He said in a slightly muffled voice, "I seem to... become another person."

"Not another person." Liu Yu noticed his uneasiness, and the hand that was hugging his neck slid down a little, so that the palm just rested on his chest, and then patted it gently, "You are just too powerful and you can't control it."

" My power is very strong?" He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't you... like it?"

"I can't say I like or dislike powerful forces." Liu Yu pondered the words and said, "Just like a knife, I can't say I like it, but if it is used to cut vegetables, I will be happy when I see it.

If it is used to kill people, I will naturally be afraid when I see it.

Your power is the same, it can be used for killing, and it can also be used for protection. Do you understand?"

Feng Lai thought for a while: "If I protect you, do you like me?" "Well... I can say that."
