Chapter 4860: 100 Years
After they left, the second floor was quiet again, leaving only Feng Jiu, Song Mi’er, and the little beast, Cloud Devouring. Seeing Song Mi’er staring at her with wide, surprised eyes, Feng Jiu couldn’t help but smile softly. “What’s wrong? Are you surprised?”
“Phoenix Sovereign?” Song Mi’er murmured.
“Yes, that’s what they call me.” Feng Jiu nodded, a smile spreading across her lips.
“Oh my goodness! I’ve been calling you ‘sister’ this whole time! We’ve been together the whole way! This isn’t a dream, is it?” Song Mi’er covered her mouth with both hands and whispered, still finding it hard to believe. She had guessed that her status must be quite high—perhaps she was from a hidden family or being groomed as a family’s next heir—but she never expected that she wasn’t from a distinguished family but was the mysterious female sovereign, the Phoenix Sovereign, who had recently ascended!
Seeing her shocked and surprised expression, Feng Jiu smiled lightly, propped her chin with one hand, and sighed as if she were joking. “What’s so surprising? Even though my identity is a little extraordinary, I can’t even find a good cook to go back with.”
Hearing this, Song Mi’er was stunned for a moment. Then, she patted her chest and looked at Feng Jiu with a flattering expression. “Sister, I’ll go back with you! I’ll cook delicious food for you! From now on, I’ll follow you wherever you go, and I’ll take care of all your meals!”
She would be stupid to refuse such a good offer. She didn’t know Feng Jiu’s identity before, but now that she did, she was naturally overjoyed. She also knew that powerful beings like the Phoenix Sovereign had a floating fairy island, which was truly filled with spiritual energy and extremely conducive to cultivating immortality. If she followed her, there would only be benefits and no disadvantages. What’s more, she loved to cook, and Feng Jiu loved to eat.
Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow and glanced at her. “Have you decided?”
“Yes! I’ve decided, and I won’t change my mind!” Song Mi’er said hurriedly. Then she looked at Feng Jiu again, hesitated, and asked, “Then should I call you Phoenix Sovereign in the future, or can I still call you sister?”
Hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled and said, “You’ve been calling me that the whole way here, and now you’re asking me? Don’t you think it’s a little late?”
Song Mi’er smiled happily. “Sister, you’re so nice!” If Feng Jiu hadn’t agreed, she wouldn’t have let her call her that this whole time. Song Mi’er considered herself really lucky. She came out to travel and found a powerful person to latch onto. If her father and brothers found out, they would probably be stunned.
The two chatted idly upstairs. Meanwhile, downstairs, Immortal Elder Qinghua stopped the people from the city’s prominent families who had rushed over to the inn. When he saw that the Wei family had also arrived, he stepped forward to block them, then led them aside to talk.
Because of what happened today and the news of the Phoenix Sovereign’s presence, the news of the Great Emperor Northern Flame’s death was also made public. The news spread like feathers scattered by the wind, and the news that the Phoenix Sovereign had taken over the Great Emperor Northern Flame’s territory and become their new ruler also spread quickly.
There was also another piece of news: before nightfall, the Wei family, which had several hundred years of family history, was stripped of its noble status. Overnight, the Wei clan fled into hiding and would not show their faces for a hundred years.
The next day, after Feng Jiu and Song Mi’er had eaten, the two of them and the beast quietly left the city and headed for the place where Grandmaster Iron was.
