Primordial Corpse Ancestor

Time flowed relentlessly under the anxious gazes of Zulong and the other dragons, and several hours passed quickly. However, the Phoenix Clan still had not appeared. Gradually, Zulong realized that things were not as he had expected. The Phoenix Clan had not readily agreed, which made Zulong somewhat uneasy.

"Why are these Phoenix Clan members so inefficient? It's been so long, why haven't they arrived yet!"

"Yes! When will that be?! Are these Phoenix Clan members so happy about their ancestor getting married that they've lost track of time?"

"What's wrong with these Phoenix Clan members? They're so rude! They just left us all here! They didn't even invite us in to sit and rest for a while!"

"It's so hot here! It's much more comfortable in our Dragon Palace! I hope these Phoenix Clan members can reach an agreement soon so we can go back quickly. I don't want to stay here any longer!"

"Are these Phoenix Clan members lying to us? Why is it taking so long to discuss something?"

"The Phoenix Clan is really something! They know we're all aquatic beings, yet they still make us stay here by this volcano. It's so unbearable!"

As time went by, the dragons were starting to get impatient! They were originally aquatic creatures who had attained human form and had already traveled for several years to come to the Phoenix Clan to propose marriage! Now they had to stay near the Phoenix Clan's volcano for so long, and they were all already quite dehydrated!

Gradually, Zu Long's brows furrowed, as if he were deep in thought!

"What a hassle! We haven't come to a conclusion after all this time. The Phoenix Clan really has no sense of time! If you ask me, we should just go in and ask them what they really mean. If it works, great; if it doesn't, we have to. I don't believe they can beat us!" Yang Mei said domineeringly, as if he had the Phoenix Clan completely under his control.

"Let's avoid taking action if we can! We can always take action when absolutely necessary!" Zu Long said calmly, suppressing his worries.

Several more hours passed, and just as darkness was falling and the Ancestral Dragon was about to lose patience, the Ancestral Phoenix appeared in the Ancestral Dragon's sight, leading several elders of the Phoenix Clan.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting! It is truly a breach of etiquette by my Phoenix Clan. I hope my friends from the Dragon Clan will forgive me!" The Ancestral Phoenix smiled slightly and said sweetly.

Originally, Zu Long had countless grievances and dissatisfactions he wanted to vent, but when he saw Zu Feng's sunny smile, all his dissatisfaction was instantly thrown to the winds, and a satisfied smile instantly spread across Zu Long's handsome face after Zu Feng.

"Do you think an apology is enough? We've been waiting here for so long, not just for an apology! You'd better give us a satisfactory answer, or I don't mind letting you know how powerful I am."

Unlike Zu Long, who would throw caution to the wind and flash his signature smile at Zu Feng's smile, Yang Mei remained cold and stern, his voice unusually sharp as he threatened Zu Feng.

Zu Feng, who had initially felt somewhat gratified by Zu Long's smile, had his smile vanish instantly after Yang Mei's words. He then turned to Yang Mei with a gloomy expression and questioned, "What kind of satisfactory answer does Fellow Daoist Yang Mei desire?"

"Hmm! Fellow Daoist Zufeng, please don't take offense! Fellow Daoist Yangmei has always been straightforward and speaks frankly!" Seeing the tense atmosphere between Zufeng and Yangmei, Zulong immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

"Hmph!" Hearing Zu Long's words, he raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, then turned his head to look at the ancient giant wutong tree and other scenery.

"Hmph! Zu Long is doing things for you now, so do as you please. But if you get in my way later, don't blame me for being impolite!" Hearing Zu Long deliberately protecting Zu Feng, Yang Mei's anger boiled over.

Seeing that Yang Mei gave a cold snort and ignored her, Zu Feng also ignored Yang Mei. In Zu Feng's eyes, since it was Zu Long who came to propose marriage, Yang Mei was at most just a figurehead, not to mention that Yang Mei had an irreconcilable hatred with the Phoenix Clan.

"Hehe! I wonder how things went, Fellow Daoist Zufeng! Has our marriage been settled?" To avoid an awkward situation, Zulong continued to ask expectantly.

"Alas! Things are not as smooth as we imagined! After all, our Phoenix Clan has a large population and the people are far apart, so we were delayed in our discussions. We hope Fellow Daoist Ancestral Dragon will forgive us!" As he spoke, Ancestral Phoenix bowed slightly, appearing exceptionally cultured. It was hard to believe that the Phoenix Clan was the one who had previously been accused of being impolite and leaving the Dragon Clan standing there.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Zufeng, you flatter me! It's just a small matter, why bother with it!" Zulong immediately responded with great politeness.

"However, some things cannot be controlled by one person's will. After all, my Phoenix Clan is a large clan! I hope Fellow Daoist Ancestral Dragon will forgive me!" Ancestral Phoenix said apologetically.

"Hmm? Does Fellow Daoist Zufeng mean that the Phoenix Clan does not agree to this matter?" Zulong asked with a sad and dejected expression. At this moment, even Yangmei, who was originally very arrogant, looked over.

"Ah! It's not that. It's just that the elders of the Phoenix Clan don't agree on anything right now, so it's hard to please everyone at once. I hope Fellow Daoist Zulong can give me some more time so that I can persuade the elders!" Zufeng looked at Zulong with anticipation, his expectation evident in his words.

"No! Aren't you the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan? As the progenitor of the Phoenix Clan, how can you not even make decisions on such trivial matters? Where is your authority? How can you lead the Phoenix Clan like this?" Before Zu Long could answer, Yang Mei, who was standing beside him, was afraid that Zu Long might soften his heart and be bewitched by Zu Feng, thus ruining important matters, so he hurriedly questioned him.

"How dare you! How can our Phoenix Clan Chief allow an outsider like you to come and slander us!" Upon hearing Yang Mei's words, a Phoenix Clan elder immediately lost his composure and rebuked him sharply. At the same time, several other Phoenix Clan elders watched Yang Mei with vigilance.

"What happens to my Phoenix Clan is an internal matter, and it's none of your business, Yang Mei, to interfere! Please, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, have some self-respect!" Upon hearing Yang Mei's question, the Ancestral Phoenix instantly turned icy and rebuked him.

"You! How dare you! Ancestral Phoenix, don't think we've come to beg you today. You have to agree whether you want to or not! Otherwise, I won't hesitate to make your Phoenix Clan disappear from this world!" Yang Mei threatened, staring fiercely at the cold-eyed Ancestral Phoenix.

"You! Although my Phoenix Clan is not a top-tier power, nor does it have any top-tier experts, my Phoenix Clan is not one to fear death! If anyone dares to be presumptuous, my Phoenix Clan will make them pay a heavy price, even if it costs us our lives."

Zu Feng stared at Yang Mei with a cold and resolute expression. As Zu Feng finished speaking, two more Phoenix Clan elders immediately took out their magical treasures and warily watched Yang Mei.

"Please don't be angry, both of you! Things haven't reached the point of no return yet! I understand what Fellow Daoist Zufeng said, after all, I am also the head of a clan and I have a deep understanding of this kind of thing! However, I hope Fellow Daoist Zufeng can make a decision on this matter as soon as possible, so that our journey of thousands of miles will not have been in vain!"

Zu Long remained calm and spoke humbly, but he shared the same sentiment as Yang Mei: he hoped that Zu Feng would agree to the matter as soon as possible.

"This! I understand that Fellow Daoist Zulong has had a long and arduous journey, but this matter is of great importance concerning the future of my Phoenix Clan. Zufeng cannot make a decision on his own, and I hope everyone can be understanding!" Zufeng said, bowing, his expression showing a mixture of expectation and apology.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Alas! I wonder how long Fellow Daoist Zufeng will need to give us an answer so that we can make arrangements in time!" Zulong said calmly, his expression filled with a mixture of anticipation and helplessness.

It must be admitted that from the very first moment he saw Zu Feng, Zu Long had developed a deep affection for her. That's why Zu Long had always defended Zu Feng in front of Yang Mei, and even felt a little guilty about his scheme against the Phoenix Clan because of Zu Feng.

However, he had no choice but to carry out the plan for the future, and Zu Long was in a dilemma, appearing extremely conflicted.

"If Fellow Daoist Zulong agrees, Zufeng will definitely give you a satisfactory answer within three months. How about that?" Zufeng looked at Zulong expectantly.

"No way! Three months is too long! You have to agree to our terms by tomorrow at the latest!" Before Zu Long could speak, Yang Mei said with a dissatisfied look.

"Huh? This?" Upon hearing Yang Mei's words, Zu Feng felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, becoming extremely depressed.

"Zu Feng needs to persuade the elders, which is not something that can be done in a short time. Is it really impossible for Fellow Daoist Zu Long?" Zu Feng looked at Zu Long with expectation and affection, the tenderness in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"Me? This?" Zu Long looked troubled, unsure how to answer Zu Feng.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Yangmei? What if you really agree to three months?" Zulong turned to look at Yangmei and transmitted his voice.

"Hmph! This is clearly a delaying tactic. For the sake of our future plans, we must get her an answer as soon as possible!" Yang Mei instantly saw through Zu Feng's intentions and said firmly to Zu Long.

"Three months is really too long! After this is all over, we still need to go back and prepare for the wedding! At most, we can only give us a month, which is the longest I can offer!"

Zu Long responded with a slightly shy yet somewhat helpless expression.

"A month? Alright! Although it's only a month, I will definitely not let Fellow Daoist Zulong down." Zufeng's unusually firm voice echoed across this land.

"Hmph! I've acted so affectionately and sincerely! It has to be of some use!" Although Zu Feng said that she wouldn't disappoint Zu Long, her heart was filled with resentment. Taking advantage of Zu Long's love for her, she finally brought a month of time for the Phoenix Clan!
