Chapter 579 The Elder Doesn't Want to Take Care of the Child 21
"Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao..." Yue kept snuggling into Zhao Zhao's arms, the two of them so close that there was no space between them.
Their intimacy made Ye, who was watching from the side, almost spit fire: "Give me that stinky bird!!!" The anger in his heart was about to burn his brain.
Yue is definitely no good; she tried to steal the person he cares about most as soon as she woke up!
Zhao Zhao took a step back to avoid Ye's outstretched hand, and looking at the cub in her arms that had already turned into human form, her muddled mind finally had time to think.
Yue really woke up.
Zhao Zhao was naturally happy to recognize this fact.
However, this location is too serious for them to deal with this matter now. The aliens standing below are all watching their entanglement.
It is an insult to the dignity and image of the Phoenix Clan.
When Ye reached out again, Zhao Zhao quickly grabbed his hand, their hands, one cold and one warm, overlapped.
Zhao Zhao has a cold personality, and they haven't been this close in a long time.
Ye froze instantly, unconsciously gripping the long, slender hand even tighter, his dark eyes fixed on the still-crying cub, his expression remaining cold.
The cub was still dressed in the same exquisite little clothes as before, with a bright white hand resting on his flamboyant golden-red hair, comforting him as he trembled all over.
However, in Ye's eyes, all of this was just Yue starting to steal Zhao Zhao's attention as soon as she woke up.
Cry, cry, cry! What are you crying for?! Do you think he's the only one who can cry?!
Nan Yu flew over to their side, his eyes filled with surprise, and whispered a reminder: "The Grand Elder is currently dealing with two guests from the Dragon Clan."
Yue's eyes lit up, and Zhao Zhao nodded to him.
Yue said coquettishly, "Zhaozhao, Zhaozhao, let's go and meet the two guests from the Dragon Clan."
Please, please.
Without hesitation, Zhao Zhao said to Yue in her arms, "I can't leave now." The cub's eyes held a complex expression that Zhao Zhao couldn't quite decipher.
Faced with his persistent questioning, he said expressionlessly, "To me, they are just irrelevant people. I have too many things to do and no time for them."
“It has nothing to do with you…” Staring at Yue’s tearful eyes, Zhao Zhao reminded her, “Your mother passed away yesterday. If you really want to leave, kowtow to your mother before you go.”
In Zhao Zhao's heart, the matter of the old Phoenix Lord was far more important than meeting those two dragon clan members.
Yue is still young, and we can't expect him to stay here forever like we do with Ye. If he wants to leave, we can understand.
Yue nodded pitifully, "Okay..."
Ye simply stared at him with those deep, cold eyes, showing no joy at his brother waking up.
Zhao Zhao was taken aback when he met Ye's gaze. He knew that the two did not get along, but Ye seemed to harbor too much hatred for Yue.
He shook his arm, sensing Ye's return to his senses. Meeting Zhao Zhao's warning gaze, he smiled slightly.
However, the forced smile didn't look very friendly.
Fortunately, neither of the two phoenix lords caused any more trouble after that.
After all the guests who came to pay their respects had finished, Ye and Yue knelt together and kowtowed to the spirit tablet of the old Phoenix Lord.
Zhao Zhao looked at the two figures, one large and one small, and felt very strange, even though at the beginning the two cubs were the same size.
Fate played a cruel trick on them, causing the two brothers to grow up separately, which only worsened their already strained relationship.
Yue didn't have a deep affection for her mother, but she was still feeling somewhat sad at this moment.
The wind blew by, and the white cloth hanging from the roof beams fluttered in the wind. The weather gradually darkened, and in the stagnant air, the sad cries of the cubs could be heard.
"Waaaaah, Mother..." As she cried, Yue thought of Zhaozhao again: "Waaaaah, Zhaozhao, Zhaozhao!"
"Shut up! I've been putting up with you for too long!!!"
By this time, most of the guests had already left. Ye's forehead veins bulged, and while Zhao Zhao wasn't paying attention, Ye's hand gripped Yue's neck again.
At the same time, Yue's long-dormant mental power exploded.
A familiar scene appeared before my eyes once again.
Everyone present felt a headache coming on.
Zhao Zhao instinctively tried to step forward to stop him, but Bai Yu put his arm around his shoulder and stepped back. The tall Nan Yu quickly stepped forward and separated the two of them.
Bai Yu said softly, "Yue's mental strength has increased a lot, be careful."
Over the past fifty years, everyone's strength has increased significantly, and Zhao Zhao's strength has also increased considerably. However, when Bai Yu and the others encounter danger, they still habitually push Zhao Zhao aside and go themselves.
Zhao Zhao no longer habitually hid behind them.
A voice, both cold and gentle, rang out: "Trust me, they can't hurt me."
Nan Yu pulled Ye back, and Zhao Zhao stepped forward to hug Yue, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face as her mental energy went berserk.
Yue looked truly disheveled and pitiful. Zhao Zhao's eyes softened, a hint of tenderness in them: "Why are you crying? Please stop crying."
"Zhao..." The cub's wide-open mouth stopped, the sound stuck in its throat.
The gentle voice was one that neither Yue nor Ye had ever heard before.
He retorted defiantly, "Yi Zhao! You're something else! I bet you're just biased towards Yue and don't like me!!!"
"Why don't you like me! I hate you!!!"
Nan Yu restrained his hands, saying helplessly, "Phoenix Lord Ye, Zhao Zhao doesn't dislike you..."
"Liar! Then why did we both fight? Why didn't Zhao Zhao comfort me? Instead, she comforted that crybaby!"
His face flushed red, and he looked very angry.
For a moment, only Ye's roar filled the air; Yue's crying had stopped, and her powerful spiritual energy had been withdrawn.
So Zhao Zhao released Yue and slowly walked to Ye's side.
The white-clad youth's every step seemed to tread on Ye's heart. His heart pounded as he gazed at the aloof and handsome youth before him, his eyes fixed intently on him.
Suddenly, Zhao Zhao raised his hand without warning and slapped Ye across the face again: "What kind of behavior is this!" His reason seemed to have left him, and he actually hit the young Phoenix Lord again.
This phrase, "What kind of behavior is this?", also applies to myself.
Nan Yu and Bai Yu were both taken aback and exclaimed, "Zhao Zhao!"
Ye's identity is different now, after all.
"You...you hit me again..." Having been slapped twice in one day, how could the pampered Ye bear it?
Ye's hand was released by Nan Yu, but all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away.
Zhao Zhao hit him again, probably because of Yue.
His fierce gaze once again passed through Zhao Zhao and landed on Yue, whose eyes were red-rimmed.
However, Yue wasn't looking at him at all; her eyes were fixed on Zhao Zhao's back.
Zhao Zhao raised her hand, and Ye, snapping back to his senses, instinctively tried to dodge. Only then did he realize that Zhao Zhao had merely tucked a stray strand of his hair behind his ear. The boy's voice softened: "Ye, this is the last time. I don't want to see you so rude again." A hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes.
Ye panicked instantly. He could even tolerate Zhao Zhao hitting him, but he just didn't want to see the disappointment in Zhao Zhao's eyes.
"I...I..." He tugged at Zhao Zhao's sleeve, looking aggrieved. "My emotions have just been fluctuating a bit today, but haven't I always behaved very well in the past few decades?"
"You're not allowed to be disappointed in me!" he said, baring his teeth again.
As he himself said, his emotions were quite volatile today.
It could be her mother's passing, Yue's awakening, or Zhaozhao's estrangement and those two slaps.
Zhao Zhao calmed the enraged Ye and comforted the heartbroken Yue. Afterward, the memorial ceremony proceeded smoothly.
From beginning to end, Yue not only kept his body glued to Zhao Zhao, but also kept his eyes on her, as if she would disappear from his sight if he wasn't watching her closely enough.
They were cautious and apprehensive, as if they had already experienced such despair.
