…

Seeing that Ye Xiao had already closed his eyes and that the other party did not play any tricks, she knew that Ye Xiao’s strength was very strong and was far from what she could resist. Hence, there was no need for her to do those meaningless things.

After taking a deep breath, she took off her black-blue phoenix-feather stockings. From within, she took out a small section of the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree.

The colors of phoenixes were all different. The clothes that each phoenix wore were exactly the same color as their feathers.

Of course, the actual meaning was that the clothes of the Phoenix clan were actually materialized from feathers.

She took out her Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree wood and looked at it carefully before handing it over to Ye Xiao with some reluctance.

“Hey! I’m warning you. You’re absolutely not allowed to do anything strange with it. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”

Ye Xiao opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to catch the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree. With his current strength, he could naturally easily feel the temperature of it.

Looks like the little phoenix was carrying it close to her body.

No wonder he had to close his eyes.

However, where did she hide it?

Although that small piece of Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree could not be said to be very long, it was at least seven inches long.

There should not be any place on her body to hide it, right?

‘Forget it, I don’t want to think about these silly questions anymore. I just need to use it, repair the cracks on the Great Dragon’s body, and allow the Great Dragon to perfectly display its Immortal Artifact-level strength.’

However, before his hand could touch that piece of Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree wood, suddenly, a small foot that was so beautiful that it made everything in the world pale in comparison slowly landed on the top of the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree.

The small foot was like a piece of soft jade. It was weak and boneless, but its lines were full. The arch of the foot was just right, and the skin was white as if it was frozen. Each of the toes was like a crystal clear small grape.

Ye Xiao was stunned. What was going on?

He slowly raised his head and looked up. The ankle was also slender and beautiful. However, further up, there was a black robe with a tinge of red. It covered everything and he could not see anything.

Ye Xiao looked up once again.

In the next second, a face that was extremely familiar to him but also revealed some strangeness slowly fell. A pair of deep purple eyes stared at him. Ye Xiao could feel that there was some anger in those eyes.

“Do you really need a Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree?”

Ye Xiao did not say a word. Meanwhile, when the little phoenix saw the black and red long robe, she was so scared that her entire body went limp.

“Your… Your… Your… Your Majesty!”

She simply could not believe her eyes.

At that moment, the person who appeared in front of her was not anyone else. It was actually the second-ranked Phoenix Empress in the starry sky!

She was also the supreme ruler of the Phoenix clan!

She was a Supreme Eternal!

Even if she was a member of the Phoenix clan, even if the bloodline of the Phoenix clan was rare and their numbers were far inferior to that of the Dragon clan or even the Qirin clan, she still did not have many opportunities to see the Phoenix Empress with her own eyes.

It was because her strength was really too weak.

However, that day, she saw the Phoenix Empress and the other party was questioning the man opposite her.

Ah, Ah, Ah… The sky was about to collapse!

The Phoenix Empress was actually confronting an unknown man like that!

At that moment, even if she did not see the other party’s face, she could easily feel the anger and sourness erupting from the Phoenix Empress’s body at the moment.

The air was filled with a thick smell of jealousy!

The Phoenix Empress… Was jealous!

Heavens, the world was too crazy.

She felt that her brain was about to stiffen and she could not move at all.

However, at that moment, the Phoenix Empress suddenly turned her face over. Her cold eyes swept over her body and he said indifferently,

“Is your Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree so casually handed over to a man?”

With just a glance, the little phoenix could not help but start trembling.

“Your… Your Majesty, please spare my life. He forced me!”

“Scram back to the Phoenix clan. If you dare to run out again, I’ll break your legs.”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

With that, she picked up her Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree, turned around, and changed into a streak of light as she ran.

Ye Xiao was stunned speechless.

Good heavens, the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree that he was about to obtain had just disappeared in the blink of an eye. Was that not too ridiculous?

He cast his gaze on the Phoenix Empress. He did not dare to be the slightest bit careless with that woman who looked very similar to Qin Yuyan.

That woman was not Qin Yuyan. She was an existence that could be ranked in the top three in the entire starry sky.

A martial arts prodigy at the level of a Supreme Eternal!

A martial arts master at that level was not someone that the current him could contend against.

Of course, she would naturally not do anything to him. The Blood Venerable One had said that he was her Love Tribulation. At that point, it was the stage where she made him fall in love with her. Therefore, at that stage, she was the marionette in his hands.

At that moment, her fate was decided in his hands.

However, Ye Xiao did not want to use it to blackmail her.

He was not that dirty.

He asked the little phoenix for the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree, but he did indeed save the little phoenix’s life.

It was something that was similar to a transaction.

Even so, regarding the Phoenix Empress, he really had nothing to say for a while.

Moreover, the relationship between him and the Phoenix Empress was rather special.

The Phoenix Empress wanted to use him to help her overcome her Love Tribulation, and he also wanted to use her to help him overcome his.

A pure-hearted little boy like him who had never been in a relationship before, in terms of love, it was very difficult for him to be a match for a 10,000-year-old lady like her.

If he owed her a favor, that would be even worse.

Ye Xiao was never the kind of person who had no conscience. Once he owed someone a favor, he would not be able to resist wanting to repay it.

That was his personal character.

However, if the Phoenix Empress used that favor to suppress him, he would be in a passive position.

The Phoenix Empress slowly descended and was level with Ye Xiao. That made Ye Xiao have a question.

Why was her imperial robe black and red?

Could she be a black phoenix? Was her entire body black?

“You really want the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree?”

Ye Xiao was silent for a moment before shaking his head.

The Phoenix Empress smiled coldly.

“What are you pretending to be in front of this empress? Didn’t you just want to ask that little girl for her Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree?”

Even though she said so, she waved her hand and displayed the entire Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree in front of Ye Xiao.

“How much do you need?”

Ye Xiao turned around and left. The Phoenix Empress could not help but be a little surprised. Ye Xiao clearly needed the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree earlier, but suddenly, he was not willing to take hers.

As the Phoenix Empress, she could naturally guess some problems.

Back then, Ye Xiao had snatched the Blood Venerable One away. Although she did not know if the Blood Venerable One was in Ye Xiao’s hands, Ye Xiao could definitely pry some things about her Love Tribulation out of his mouth.

Therefore, was he avoiding her?

Perhaps… It was the so-called pride of a male causing trouble?

Her pearly white teeth bit her red lips slightly. Following that, she snorted coldly and raised her hand, chopping the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree into several sections. She took out one of the sections and threw it to Ye Xiao.

“This time, consider it as this empress selling it to you.”

Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked at the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree that the Phoenix Empress threw in front of him. He had no way of leaving.

If he wanted to repair the Great Dragon and make it a 100 percent Immortal Artifact, he needed the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree. It was something that was very difficult to obtain. It was a supreme treasure among supreme treasures.

After that opportunity, there would be no such shop.

He was still not a Supreme Eternal. Facing the critical moment of the collision between the two worlds, if he could obtain a complete Immortal Artifact, it could be said to be the most important thing to him.

To be honest, Ye Xiao was not willing to take it from the bottom of his heart, but she had given him too much.

After a moment of silence, Ye Xiao opened his mouth to speak,

“What do you want?”

“This empress hasn’t thought it through yet. I’ll have you owe me first.”

“Don’t! If that’s the case, I don’t want it. I’ve never liked owing others. If there’s a debt, I’ll settle it face to face.”

The Phoenix Empress raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not expect Ye Xiao to actually have quite a brain.

If it was another person who knew that she was using him to overcome the Love Tribulation, he would probably be so happy that he would be stuck to her like a lapdog.

In the entire Yanhuang Great World, who could resist the second-ranked Grand Elder of eternal life if the Dragon Emperor did not appear?

Gaining a relationship with her was equivalent to standing at the peak of the entire world in one leap.

He was actually able to maintain his rationality and avoid getting too involved with her, thus helping her overcome her Love Tribulation.

Actually, from the perspective of a normal person, it was definitely better to have a relationship with her. It was simply a blessing from the heavens. However, in reality, it also meant that after he helped her overcome her Love Tribulation, it would be impossible for him to overcome his Love Tribulation ever again!

To put it bluntly, it was like a medicinal juice that had been boiled dry and no longer had the effect of brewing a new medicinal juice.

However, not everyone was able to recognize that point, and not everyone believed that they would be able to advance to become a Supreme Eternal in that lifetime.

99.999 percent of the people would choose to help her overcome the tribulation in exchange for temporary benefits.

However, Ye Xiao was different. As an unrivaled martial arts master, the Phoenix Empress could sense that he had other motives.

He did not want to help her overcome the Love Tribulation. Did he also have a desire for the Love Tribulation? Did he want to use her to overcome the Love Tribulation?

That was why he wanted to have a tug-of-war with her. He had always stood on an equal level to prevent some special factors from causing him to lose the ability to talk to her and lose the opportunity to overcome the tribulation.

“Interesting, you really are an interesting man!”

The Phoenix Empress’s eyes revealed a hint of admiration.
