Fei Chen's Sword Journey
PPFC 225 - The Phoenix Fire Treaty
PPFC 225 - The Phoenix Fire Treaty
“Good work, Hukong, Dashe..” Fei Chen said, smiling wryly as he learned that the boy's life was on the verge of a borderline.
“My lord, that boy will definitely die. I think Huohuo and Fengxue can cure it, but.” Hukong did not continue his words because he realized the two phoenix powers were very meaningful.
“I know. This is the world we live in, Hukong. I've always seen this and maybe so on it stays like this. You know, someone had to dirty his hands to do all this.” Fei Chen let out a long sigh before ordering Hukong and Deshe back into his shadow.
Then Fei Chen put on the mask and robe that the Dark Flower Organization assassins wore.
Before leaving the Flower Moon Restaurant, Fei Chen told everyone he saved to remain silent over this incident as there would be time for them to speak as witnesses and evidence.
Meanwhile, inside the inn rented by Minister Song Zhein, the servants of the inn were frightened by the murder of the Dark Flower Organization.
“I will enjoy the two main dishes that I have been looking forward to for many years. You two have been looking for a long time since I was a dozen years old and I did not expect my dream to finally come true.” Minister Song Zhein looked at Ji Xiuha and Guan Ai whose bodies were tied up and rolled away in bed with torn clothes.
“Minister Song! Minister Song!”
As Minister Song Zhein was about to walk up to the bed, one of the assassins came to inform him that Song Kang had died in the hands of the leader of the Barbed Rose Bandit.
“Cang Guofang fucker! He's back to adding to the problem! I already told him I would give money if I managed to snatch away the Ji family's wealth! Basic man is impatient!” Minister Song Zhein frowned and rubbed his face roughly.
Before gaining his composure, the killer again explained to Minister Song Zhein that the Head of the Thousand Barbed Roses Bandit held Song Bei's wife Song Na hostage and her last child, Song Zhang.
“Senior Cang wants the head of the Song family to come to the Thousand Roses Forest to make up for the safety of Song Na and Song Zhang.”.
Minister Song Zhein's expression worsened when the assassin said Emperor Yin San called himself to attend Song Kang's funeral.
“Bad situation!” Minister Song Zhein slammed the door and warned the Dark Flower Organization's assassins against touching Ji Xiuha or Guan Ai.
Afterwards Minister Song Zhein decided to return to the Huayin Capital to attend Song Kang's funeral.
After the departure of Minister Song Zhein, the situation in the inn was filled with commotion as Hukong went on a rampage and swung his staff killing one after another the assassins of the Dark Flower Organization.
“Against them all is so easy for me! My lord, why don't you give the order to kill that damn human?!” Hukong asked because Fei Chen held him back from killing Minister Song Zhein.
“Not yet the man died, Hukong. When I decide to kill someone, then that person will die.” Fei Chen's cold smile made Hukong speechless.
‘Tuanku..’ Hukong was full of admiration for Fei Chen.
Passing through the blood-filled wooden floor, Fei Chen walked towards the inn room that Ji Xiuha and Guan Ai occupied.
Taking the boy in his hands, Fei Chen's arrival frightened the two middle-aged women.
“Relax, I'm not one of them. I came here because I want to explain the condition of your son, Mrs Ji.” Fei Chen told Ji Xiuha that there was only one way to save Ji Ho's dying life.
‘Black Profit Poison... My ability to absorb poison, but I am not a madman who will have sex with same-sex relationships especially he is a boy.’ Inner Fei Chen and suddenly he clicked his tongue irritated.
‘Why does his voice sound so familiar? I've heard this voice while attending Princess Yin's wedding.’ Ji Xiuha nodded and listened to Fei Chen's explanation of his son's condition.
Knowing her son could not be saved made Ji Xiuha cry hysterically. As Fei Chen untied his body, Ji Xiuha immediately hugged his son's body.
“Why did they torture and poison Ho?! My son never made a mistake! After killing the Kangshaner, they also snatched the Hooper from me!” Ji Xiuha cried hysterically and tightly hugged her son's body.
Meanwhile Guan Ai felt a strangeness on his body. When he heard Fei Chen's voice, his feelings were agitated and erratic. His heart rate was racing when he found out that he had been given stimulant drugs by Minister Song Zhein.
“You're also one of those killers aren't you?!” Ji Xiuha suddenly looked at Fei Chen full of hatred.
Fei Chen took off his mask and instantly made Ji Xiuha speechless as well as Guan Ai.
“Hukong, is no one approaching this room?” Fei Chen asked to be sure given the current condition of his body.
“No Master. I'll ensure safety if my Master wants to grow crops!” Hukong replied with a faint voice and made Fei Chen look at her sharply.
“Actually the five of us saw what my Master did during-”
“Enough! I understand!”
Hukong instantly fell silent as Fei Chen snapped. Really he had not expected this to happen, but Fei Chen did not really care.
“Monya Ji listen to my explanation..”.
Fei Chen instead explained to Ji Xiuha on how to save Ji Ho's life. He possessed the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix, both saint beasts possessed incredible healing abilities.
But the case that befell Ji Ho is a different thing, to save Ji Ho's life, Phoenix must sacrifice all his abilities and live as a spirit in Ji Ho's body.
Ji Xiuha's eyes widened hearing Fei Chen's explanation. He never thought there would be a way to save his son. After losing her first husband and son, Ji Xiuha feels her life is completely ruined but now she sees hope.
“Master-No, Your Majesty, please save my son. I'll do anything for you.” Ji Xiuha bowed before Fei Chen.
“Anything right? No need to go that far. I'm doing all this because your family is so helpful to my Father-in-law's government.” Fei Chen responded casually while holding Ji Ho's head then had one of the two Phoenixes come out.
Ji Xiuha's eyes widened and were startled as the Fire Phoenix came out from the shadow of Fei Chen's body.
“Master, I will make an agreement with the Mother of this child..”.
“What agreement?” Fei Chen asked because Huohuo the Fire Phoenix looked like he wanted to say something important.
“Declaration, Milord. It's about the mother of this child.”
“Alright, I don't want to ask further.” Fei Chen let Huohuo do something to Ji Xiuha or Ji Ho.
“Do it, Huohuo.“ Fei Chen looked at the Fire Phoenix that suddenly turned into a small red flame and entered Ji Ho's body.
“Mistress Ji, hold your son's hand.” Fei Chen gave instructions and Ji Xiuha immediately did.
As Ji Xiuha held her hand suddenly her consciousness was in a beautiful place with tall trees and clear waterfalls.
“Where is this?” Ji Xiuha wondered.
“This is the Crying Mountain. This place is a place guarded by my lord.” The Fire Phoenix named Huohuo appeared in front of Ji Xiuha.
“You... Thank you for saving my son's life.”
“It's too soon to thank me, man.” Huohuo said as he flapped his wings in the air.
“I want you to serve my Master in my stead. He is the ruler we have been looking for, his aura is the aura of a king who will conquer the world. When I disappear, I want you to watch it for me. A great ruler needs the love of a mother like you. My master is indeed strong, but he is very weak if no one gives him warmth,” Huohuo said of his request.
“Serve it? Should I be his wife or his nanny? But I am a widow. She definitely won't be interested in me..” Ji Xiuha asked in confusion.
“It all depends on you, man. My master is not the picky type, trust me.” The Fire Phoenix disappeared after saying so and Ji Xiuha's consciousness returned.
Along with that Ji Ho's eyes opened slowly.
“I... Bu?”
Ji Xiuha's eyes watered when she heard her son call himself.
“Iya, It's Mother Nak!” Ji Xiuha cried and hugged Ji Ho's body back.
“Mother... I dreamt of being taken flying by a beautiful, big bird. And the bird asked me to be a good boy and obey the words.” Ji Ho glanced at the surroundings and found Fei Chen.
“That uncle..” Ji Ho continued while pointing at Fei Chen.
“I, Uncle said you? What's up?” Fei Chen raised his eyebrows curiously.
