Being hugged by her, Huo Feng seemed to feel again the feeling of being held in her arms when he was a child, and a smile broke out on his face. To him, Feng Jiu was his master, and even more like a human mother.
He has been with her since childhood, from the initial disdain and contempt to liking her and recognizing her from the bottom of his heart, step by step, he is growing up and she is growing up too.
"Master, I'm not here to protect you, so you must take good care of yourself and don't get hurt." He still gave her instructions with concern, and added: "Three years, remember to come back and pick me up after three years."
"Yes, I will." She responded with a smile, then took him to the palace to tell her grandfather and father about it.
Palace
"What? You want the Fire Phoenix to stay and be the guardian beast of the country? How can this be possible!"
Feng Sanyuan and Feng Xiao objected after hearing her words: "You don't have to worry about the Phoenix Dynasty. Now that all the countries have come to congratulate us, those forces and families only want to make friends with us. We will be fine. On the contrary, if you go to the Eight Empires alone without the Fire Phoenix to protect you, how can we rest assured?"
As he spoke, Feng Sanyuan waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, I don't agree with this. I don't agree. You have to bring Huo Feng with you."
Feng Xiao also said: "That's right, Xiaojiu, don't worry about this! Judging from the current situation, there will be no danger here. Although we are only a sixth-class country at the moment, even people from a first-class country will not be stupid enough to attack us after we have such strength."
Hearing their words, Huo Feng's eyes lit up and he looked at the master beside him. They all didn't want him to stay. If the master agreed, that would be great. He could go to the Eight Empires with the master.
However, Fengjiu shook her head and said seriously: "No, I am not worried about the various forces in the first-class country, I am worried about the people of the eight empires."
She paused and said, "The Phoenix Dynasty is rising too fast, and it is bound to attract envy. Even if people from other countries don't take action, there is no guarantee that they won't hire someone to deal with us in secret. If it is a strong man from one of the eight empires, just one of them is enough to destroy a country."
At this point, she frowned slightly. "When I went to the Hell Mountains, I met a strong man whose strength was definitely above the Nascent Soul stage. If that kind of strong man wanted to attack him, no matter how many Phoenix Guards there were, they would not be able to stop him. But the Fire Phoenix is different. Even the most powerful cultivators are no match for a mature ancient beast. With the growth of the Fire Phoenix now, its pressure can crush everything, including strong men above the Nascent Soul stage."
After hearing what she said, the two of them looked solemn. Indeed, what they had seen and encountered was only the tip of the golden mountain. There were too many powerful people in this world. If they were really powerful people above the Nascent Soul stage, would they have the strength to protect their dynasty
She looked at them and said, "That's why I want to keep Huo Feng for three years. If nothing serious happens in three years, it should be fine. Even if something does happen, I can rest assured that Huo Feng is here."
Feng Xiao and his son looked at each other, then looked at Huo Feng, and then looked at Feng Jiu, and asked: "But if Huo Feng stays, what will you do? If you go there by yourself, wouldn't it be very dangerous in such an environment without Huo Feng by your side?"
