Chapter 1700: Face-slapping, Round 6 (1) “The noise is indeed from the northeast. Two groups of people are fighting, and it’s getting very intense,” Little Phoenix told Feng Wu as it observed the situation. “Wait, the side that’s gaining ground is a group of men in black.” Men in black? Feng Wu’s eyes lit up. “What traits do they have, these men in black?” Feng Wu asked. “They’re all wearing black headbands over their foreheads,” said Little Phoenix. There was a brooding look in its eyes as it studied the scene. It then scratched its head and said, “I think I’ve seen these men somewhere before.” Black headbands... Ah! Feng Wu smacked her forehead. “Wasn’t Seven wearing a black headband?” Little Phoenix looked at Feng Wu with a strange look in its eyes, and Feng Wu nodded solemnly. Little Phoenix asked, “So, they’re with the oldest prince?” Feng Wu nodded. Little Phoenix smacked the branch. “So, the person who’s been chasing us everywhere is the oldest prince’s man. This is a happy coincidence. Let’s kill them!” It then tried to head for the spot where the noise was coming from. But Feng Wu stopped it. “Wait.” Little Phoenix glared at her. “What are we waiting for? That prince almost got all of us killed. This is an opportunity too great to miss out on!” Feng Wu was lost for words. “The problem is, can you defeat them?” Little Phoenix was rendered speechless. Feng Wu said, “Seven alone was enough to make us run for our lives. What do you think all the men in black will do?” Little Phoenix said, “They’re not as capable as Seven. I don’t think they’re Spiritual Lords.” Feng Wu asked, “What are they, then?” Little Phoenix said, “I think they’re Level 3 to 5 Spiritual Elders, but their leader is about Seven’s level. Hey, they’re going after a group of people in white, and the white side is coming our way!” Little Phoenix was very realistic. It did some maths and realized that they really couldn’t fight all those people, so it said proudly, “Where there’s life, there’s hope. Just because we can’t win now doesn’t mean that we can’t defeat them in the future. We can leave now and deal with them later.” Feng Wu asked, “Where on earth did you learn to talk like that? Stop making excuses.” Little Phoenix didn’t try to retort. “So, are we leaving or not?” Feng Wu said, “Even if I wanted to, I can’t.” Little Phoenix looked confused. Feng Wu smiled wryly. “I broke through my bottleneck when I was fighting the Demon Chimpanzee just then. If I don’t find a place to release that spiritual essence and make a breakthrough, it’ll be a big problem.” Little Phoenix asked, “Is it that bad?” Feng Wu smiled wryly. “Yes, that bad.” 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 Little Phoenix asked, “Can you run?” Feng Wu said, “If something goes wrong when I’m running, I could lose my spiritual essence or even go berserk...” Little Phoenix was speechless. “Other people can suppress their spiritual essence; why can’t you?” Feng Wu said, “I’ve suppressed it for so long that it’ll be a big explosion. I need to let it out, or I’ll die...” Little Phoenix scratched its head in frustration. “What are you going to do?” Looking around, Feng Wu said, “You guys go now. I’ll find somewhere to hide until the fight blows over.” Little Phoenix said, “I’ll stay!” Feng Wu wanted to say something, but Little Phoenix said, “I can hide with you. I won’t make any sound or cause you any trouble. I can also protect you in critical moments. Anyway, I’m not leaving!”
