In addition, the reply also mentioned that after Xiao Ling returns from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, Feng Qing'er will also find an opportunity to leave the clan on the pretext of "going out for training". When she returns to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, she will use the power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan's bloodline to open the weak point of the space barrier and bring Xiao Ling in.

After all, although Xiao Ling's spatial attainments allowed him to forcibly break through the boundary, it would inevitably alarm the strong in the clan. Only by borrowing her bloodline could he avoid layers of warnings and reduce a lot of risks.

As for how Xiao Ling would conceal his tracks when he entered the space where the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan was located, so as not to be discovered by other clan members, it was not possible to study it in detail at the moment. After all, it had not been put into practice yet, and the specific countermeasures could only be left to be dealt with at that time.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling and Feng Qing'er discussed the details of the connection over and over again. The jade slip passed back and forth in their palms. The conversation discussed everything from the degree of guarding of the space channel to the subtle turns of the hidden route. Feng Qing'er told Xiao Ling almost everything she knew, no matter how big or small.

At first, there was morning mist floating outside the window, and bamboo shadows swayed on the desk. After the last content was engraved, ending this conversation across thousands of miles, when the jade slip in Xiao Ling's palm finally calmed down, the sunlight had already penetrated the window lattice, dyeing the whole room a warm golden color, and the copper bells on the eaves swayed with tiny lights in the bright sun. It was already noon.

Before I knew it, the whole morning had passed quietly in the communication back and forth on the jade slips.

Xiao Ling stroked the jade slip with his fingertips, which was gradually becoming warmer. He suddenly came to his senses and looked out the window. The morning light had already faded away, and the sun was hanging over the eaves, dyeing the window paper translucent, and even the bluestone slabs under the corridor were coated with a layer of warm gold.

He looked at the scene, raised his eyebrows, shook his head and chuckled. Inexplicably, his mind was filled with the trance of his past life when he held his mobile phone and chatted with his friends until he forgot everything. At that time, his fingertips were flying on the screen, and now his mental power was engraving the content on the jade slip. Although the forms were very different, they were both because of the people they cared about, and time passed quietly in their concentration.

At this time, with the sound of crisp footsteps coming from behind, Xiao Ling looked back and saw the Little Medical Fairy dressed in decent clothes, holding a plate with a cup of tea and some snacks on it, walking towards him.

Seeing him turn around, the Little Medical Fairy smiled, walked closer and placed the food on the table in front of Xiao Ling, chuckled and said, "Try it, eat something, I spent a lot of effort to make this."

The tea was steaming and the aroma of the snacks was faintly spreading, making Xiao Ling unconsciously feel a slightly sweet texture.

"Since it's Xian'er's craft, I naturally have to try it." Xiao Ling raised a smile at the corners of his lips, and his fingertips had already picked up a piece of snow-white osmanthus cake on the plate. His fingertips touched the soft texture of the cake, and he smelled a faint floral fragrance as soon as he got close.

He took a bite, and the dense cake mixed with the sweet nectar melted on the tip of his tongue. His eyes lit up slightly, and when he raised his eyes, his fingertips were still stained with fine cake powder. "It's really good. The sweetness of the nectar is wrapped in fragrance. It can really be considered a 'human delicacy'."

"As long as you like it, I just learned some basics from Qinglin." Seeing Xiao Ling's relaxed expression while eating, the little doctor's smile spread, but the tips of her ears turned a little pink in the sunlight.

"Besides, my skills are not as exaggerated as you say. I think there are still many areas where I can improve."

Xiao Ling picked up the celadon cup and took a sip of tea. The snow buds soaked in spiritual spring water spread on the tip of his tongue, and the sweetness of the snacks just relieved his fatigue. He looked at the little medical fairy and suddenly chuckled:

"Each of them has its own merits. There is no distinction between superior and inferior. To have someone who cares about me like you do is more satisfying than getting any treasure."

In support of Xiao Ling's words, the Little Medical Fairy just smiled and shook her head. Her fingertips touched the strands of hair on her forehead, and she suddenly looked up at the jade slip that Xiao Ling had not yet put away, with a bit more seriousness in her eyes:

"You were communicating with Feng Qing'er earlier, right? Have you discussed all the details about the internal situation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?" She paused, tapped the wooden table with her fingertips, and her voice became lighter.

"Although she has been in the Xingyun Pavilion for such a long time and seems to be quite obedient to your orders, she is a member of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan after all. You forced her to stay in the Xingyun Pavilion... Is she... trustworthy?"

The sunlight passed through the window lattice, casting a tiny light on the silver ornaments in Xiao Yixian's hair. Xiao Ling could see a hint of worry hidden in her eyes.

Facing Xiao Yixian's serious question, Xiao Ling just nodded, then held Xiao Yixian's delicate hand and said, "Don't worry, Xian'er. I am absolutely sure that Qing'er will not betray me. I am still confident in my own vision."

Xiao Ling shook Xiao Yixian's hand gently with his fingertips, and the corners of his lips raised with a confident smile, "Besides, we have planned it so thoroughly, just trust me, nothing will go wrong."

The Little Medical Fairy looked at the calmness in his eyes, and rubbed the lines on his palm unconsciously with her fingertips. In the end, she sighed softly and did not ask any more questions.

Since Xiao Ling was so sure, Little Medical Fairy had no intention of saying anything more.

She believed in Xiao Ling's choice from the bottom of her heart. With Xiao Ling's methods, he could make Feng Qing'er open up to her during their interactions. He must have used methods that were difficult to tell in public to find out what the woman was thinking.

There is nothing wrong with this suspicion towards Feng Qing'er. After all, when Xiao Ling brought her back to Xingyun Pavilion, his methods were not fair.

Even if it was Xiao Ling himself, if he had not used special means in advance to confirm that the other party had no second thoughts about him, how could he be so sure to discuss such an important matter with her, and he would not have let her return to the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan so easily in the first place.

"Well, in a few days, I will leave for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan." Xiao Ling stroked the silver bell on Xiao Yixian's wrist with his fingertips, and suddenly looked up at her, with a rare smile on his lips, "We won't see each other for a while, so don't stay in the room to practice these few days. How about you accompany me out for a walk?"

The sunlight fell on the tips of Xiao Ling's hair, dyeing a few strands of hair translucent. Little Medical Fairy looked at the rare leisure in his eyes, and her heart couldn't help but feel touched.

The Little Doctor Fairy raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips, and stood up with her fingertips brushing the hem of her skirt. "Okay, I'm planning to go to the herb garden in the back mountain to pick up the newly planted herbs. You can come and accompany me. The herbs you use to make medicine on weekdays are all carefully taken care of by me day and night..."

As if she suddenly remembered something, the Little Medical Fairy turned back to look at Xiao Ling, shook the ring on her fingertips, and raised a slightly mischievous smile:

"Besides, the poison I have been using for cultivation these days is almost gone. I will go to the medicine garden to pick some cultivated poisonous herbs later. You can help me refine a few furnaces, so that I don't have to trouble the old medicine master."

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I will refine the poison you want and make sure it won't delay your practice."

Xiao Ling stood up with a smile, quickly followed the footsteps of the Little Doctor Fairy, and joked,

"Besides, I'm hoping that when you, Xian'er, become a famous poison saint throughout the continent, I can also benefit from it."

Haha, you are the only one who is always talking nonsense. "The Little Medical Fairy rolled her eyes beautifully, with a hint of anger at the end of her eyes. The silver ornaments in her hair swayed slightly with her movements, but she couldn't hide the smile on the corners of her lips.

Facing Xiao Ling's teasing, her eyes were filled with tiny lights, "I think, when you really break through to the Dou Di level one day, it would be most comfortable for me to take advantage of you."

Xiao Ling smiled and answered with a firm tone: "Don't worry, it won't take long. When I become the Dou Emperor, you will be the Empress..."

"Well, I will wait for the day when I truly become the empress."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you wait."

The wind blew across the bamboo fence, lifting the hems of their clothes and swaying them gently. The eaves of the distant pavilion were faintly visible in the morning light, but they were not as real as the smile in the eyes of the people in front of them.

……

In the southwestern part of the Beast Realm, where hills and dense forests intersect, there live many families of avian and magical beasts.

There are quite a few tribes ruled by powerful eighth-level monsters, and they intimidate wherever their claws reach, but they restrain their arrogance in this land, because the one who rules this place is one of the three most famous monster races in the Douqi Continent today, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan.

As the "overlord" of the northwest Beast Realm, the majesty of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan is like dense clouds covering the sky, forcing the surrounding clans to bow down in submission.

Anyone who dares to challenge the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan will be crushed into dust in an instant. There has been no exception for thousands of years.

In the northwest of the Beast Territory, outside the skyline where red-gold clouds rolled, a stream of light tore through the void, like a lone star breaking through the night sky, and rushed towards the core area under the jurisdiction of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan.

The stream of light swept past with the surging waves of fighting spirit. When the view got closer, a slender figure could be seen moving with the light. The long azure blue hair was rustling in the strong wind and raised in a flamboyant arc behind him.

His face was as handsome as if carved by God, yet there was a calmness and sharpness between the edges. This man was none other than Xiao Ling, who set out from Xingyun Pavilion and headed for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

"The Luanfeng tribe's territory should be just ahead, right? The meeting point Qing'er mentioned earlier is right here. I guess she should be waiting for me there."

While flying, Xiao Ling withdrew his mental power that was used to sense the surroundings. In his palm, he held a space jade slip engraved with a phoenix pattern. The halo on the slip flowed gently with his movements.

Xiao Ling's sight spread forward, and he saw rolling mountains like a dragon's spine carved out of red gold. The scattered palaces and pavilions were built in layers according to the mountain terrain, and the flying eaves and corners were dotted with feather-like gilded patterns, which glowed with fine light in the sun.

Above the sky, several streaks of light cut through the clouds. They were bird-like monsters with outstretched wings. Their feathers showed a gradient of red gold and indigo in the sunlight, and their tail feathers dragged star-like bands of light. Sometimes they swooped over the mountaintops, and sometimes they flapped their wings straight into the clouds. The wind pressure under their wings rolled up the fragrance of the spiritual herbs all over the mountain.

Further away, deep in the main peak, a large hall built with huge stones can be vaguely seen. On both sides of the hall door stand statues of birds several meters high. An eternal halo flows between their wings, as if protecting the entire territory.

As the distance gradually shortened, Xiao Ling slowly lowered his body and flew towards the half-open negotiation area outside the Luanfeng tribe. This kind of magical beast tribe has always defended its internal territory, and outsiders are not allowed to enter easily. However, they have also set up an "external affairs area" around it for exchanges outside the tribe. The meeting place agreed by Feng Qing'er and Xiao Ling is within that special area.

As Feng Qing'er is a member of the Celestial Demon Phoenix Clan, and the Luanfeng Clan is a subordinate force of the Celestial Demon Phoenix Clan, as long as she reveals her identity, she will be fully received by the clan.

But she did not do so this time. After all, she would take Xiao Ling to infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan later. Being too ostentatious would only attract unnecessary attention. She did not want to cause trouble because of her high-profile identity.

After a moment, Xiao Ling landed on an independent hill below the mountain range. There were several courtyards there, all of which were residences prepared by the Luanfeng tribe for outsiders. As long as they paid an appropriate amount of resources, they could obtain temporary use rights and be protected by the Luanfeng power. There were also many similar buildings distributed around.

In Xiao Ling's sight, a graceful figure in colorful clothes was looking up at him from below.

Seeing the familiar figure, his heart couldn't help but move, and his figure flying downwards couldn't help but speed up a bit.

Chapter 615 The plan begins

As soon as Xiao Ling landed on the ground, gravel began to make a crushing sound under the soles of his boots.

Feng Qing'er stood under the corridor of the courtyard, the hem of her colorful dress lifted up in a soft arc by the mountain breeze, and the gilded feather hairpin in her hair, which Xiao Ling had personally given her, swayed gently with her trembling shoulders.

She grasped the corner of her sleeve with her fingertips, her eyes were clearly red as she looked at him from afar, but because of her innate reserve, she managed to stand very steadily in the spot. Only the trembling red at the corners of her eyes expressed the longing that could not be concealed in her heart.

"Qing'er, long time no see." Xiao Ling's eyes fell on Feng Qing'er, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was somewhat gentle and hoarse, but it fell into her ears clearly.

Looking at the longing that could not be concealed in the girl's eyes, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. This feeling of being missed by someone, even though he had experienced it countless times, was still as soothing as the warm sunshine in spring.

It had been quite some time since he and Feng Qing'er last met. When they met again, the girl's appearance had not changed much since they parted.

But if you look closely, there is something subtly different about her temperament. The cold and aloof temperament of the prodigy of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan is still there, but she is no longer so aloof that keeps people at a distance. Instead, it seems that the years have worn away her edges, and she is now cold but not icy. The aura around her has also changed from ostentatious pride to restrained confidence.

"Young Master, Qing'er misses you too, so much." Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Ling who was walking towards her. There was no trace of the coldness and arrogance of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan in her eyes. Only tenderness wrapped in watery light remained in her eyes, like a pool of spring water that had been crushed.

Feng Qing'er no longer cared about being reserved. She took two steps forward, opened her arms, and threw herself into Xiao Ling's arms. The fragrance of her hair with body temperature mixed with the mountain breeze filled Xiao Ling's nose densely.

Xiao Ling put his arms around Feng Qing'er's slender waist, his palms touched her back and she trembled slightly, then he gently patted her head with his fingertips and chuckled.

"Okay, okay, haven't we been communicating using the Space Jade Slips before? I'm always here and I won't disappear."

"But talking through a jade slip is different after all..." Feng Qing'er muffled her voice and buried her head in Xiao Ling's shoulder, her fingertips tightly grasping his clothes, and she put all her worries of the past few days into this hug.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling smiled helplessly and had to let Feng Qing'er hold him tightly. The top of the girl's head rubbed against his chin, and the gilded hairpin in her hair made his collarbone hurt slightly, but it was no match for the trembling breathing of the person in his arms, which kept hitting his heart.

The sunlight in the courtyard gradually moved, casting mottled light on the overlapping figures of the two people.

Xiao Ling could hear the heartbeat through the clothes, one by one, bringing with it the warmth and relief of a long-parted reunion, and conveying all his thoughts into each other's hearts without reservation.

As the mountain breeze blew over the eaves, the two figures finally slowly separated.

Feng Qing'er's shoulders, which had been rising and falling slightly before, gradually calmed down. After all, she was no longer a little girl. Even though she was filled with longing, she was able to control her emotions properly at this moment. Only the smile on the corners of her lips revealed her tenderness just now.

"Sir, come and rest here for a while. You must have consumed a lot of energy on your journey. Once you are in the best condition, we will be more confident about our plan." Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Ling and twisted a few strands of hair in front of her unconsciously with her fingertips.

"Besides, even if we go directly to the entrance of the space passage of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, there will be four teams of clansmen on duty at this moment. We have to wait until the handover time every three days, when only one team of guards will be left. At that time, the risk of sneaking in will be much lower."

"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements. I'm a little tired after traveling all the way here, so it would be good to rest for two days." Xiao Ling nodded, looking at Feng Qing'er's serious expression at the moment, and suddenly found it very interesting.

Feng Qing'er raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips, and led the way in front of Xiao Ling. Her back was still straight as she walked, but her pace unconsciously slowed down, as if she was afraid that Xiao Ling could not keep up.

When passing through the courtyard, the copper bells on the eaves were lifted up by the mountain breeze, and the clear sound fell into my ears, adding a bit of worldly air.

For the next two days, Xiao Ling and Feng Qing'er rested in this courtyard.

Feng Qing'er also took this opportunity to talk to Xiao Ling about the longing she had for him since they separated. After venting her emotions, she felt much more energetic.

Of course, the two of them did not forget to talk about business.

Now that they can communicate face to face, it is much more convenient than using the space jade slips before. Feng Qing'er told Xiao Ling all the information she had investigated in the past few days.

From the guard situation at the entrance to the space passage leading to the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, the various layouts within the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan's territory, to the guard details in the Phoenix Tomb where the Sky Demon Phoenix's corpse was buried, she explained everything she knew to Xiao Ling in detail.

As for the follow-up plans, after Feng Qing'er finished telling the information, Xiao Ling started to make the arrangements. After all, the implementation of this plan still had to be done by Xiao Ling himself.

Although he had made a preliminary plan, Xiao Ling was very clear in his mind that his future actions towards the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan would still depend more on improvisation.

If you really encounter an unexpected emergency, the only way to ensure your own safety is to rely on your own strength.

Looking at the bright moon hanging high outside the window, Xiao Ling's heart suddenly felt peaceful, and the various thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down.

He chuckled softly and when he looked away, the beauty in his arms was breathing evenly. Her soft hair was glowing dimly in the moonlight. Feng Qing'er had fallen asleep on his arm without him noticing.

Xiao Ling carefully adjusted his posture so that Feng Qing'er could lean on his shoulder more comfortably.

At this moment, moonlight streamed in through the window and fell on Feng Qing'er's slightly furrowed brows. Xiao Ling gently smoothed her brows with his fingertips, and listening to her unconscious murmurs, the warmth in his heart surged even stronger.

Xiao Ling gently rubbed his fingertips across the back of his hand, feeling the warmth of the skin, and finally closed his eyes, letting sleepiness come over him.

The sound of his breathing in his arms and the sound of the wind outside the window, in this courtyard at night, weaved a peaceful dream that he had not had for a long time.
