The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 25. The Blue-Eyed Wolf


"Xiangqing, are your hands alright? It still doesn't seem like a problem if I expend a little energy to provide treatment." Xiao Mingyui stared anxiously at his two sister's wrists. When Xiao Xiangqing rolled up his sleeves, the skin surface of the man's hands looked bruised and covered in wounds. It seemed like his hand had been wrapped around by the snake that attacked him all of a sudden.


Xiao Xiangqing looked at his wrist, then shook his head slowly. "No problem, I can still withstand this small wound. Jiejie, enjoy your food in peace."


Xiao Mingyui let out a thin sigh, it seemed like he could not force anymore. Xiao Xiangqing also looked worried about his condition, hence he did not ask for any healing from him.


The three of them evenly divided the fox meat after it was cooked, then went back up on the big rock after finishing eating. Xiao Jiwang was the one who brought Xiao Mingyui down and up personally due to the condition of Xiao Xiangqing's hand which made it impossible to carry his body. If Xiangqing was reckless, then the injuries he had on his wrist would rub against Xiao Mingyui's body.


"How do we sleep? There's no flat bottom here, it's all rough textured." Xiao Jiwang stared at the entire rock surface and the ground of Lang Tao's mountain.


Xiao Xiangqing smiled faintly. "There's still a way, but promise first that you won't protest much."


Xiao Jiwang stared exasperatedly at Xiao Xiangqing. "Say."


Xiao Xiangqing sat down on the stone, then said, "We will sleep in a position of leaning against each other. Make each back as another backstool, so we will find a soft backrest. It's better than falling asleep on a rough surface or leaning against a tree and being pounced on by a wild animal."


Xiao Mingyui nodded in agreement, then rushed over towards Xiao Xiangqing in a seated position, the woman slightly dragging her body. But, while being focused on crawling slowly, Xiao Jiwang suddenly lifted his body again and brought him right behind Xiao Xiangqing to sit down.


Xiao Xiangqing only silently watched, although he still had a slight annoyance towards Xiao Jiwang, but .. Seeing that the man cared for his brother, he felt a little better. At least, the man had not been rude to his sister.


Xiao Jiwang took a position near Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Mingyui, their backs resting on each other to lean on. Xiao Jiwang covered his two hands, his eyes slowly closed with his forehead still slightly folded. He could not sleep quietly, his instinct of caution was always on. He was ready to draw the sword at any time if any danger was approaching.


Xiao Mingyui turned his head slightly towards Xiao Jiwang, the figure of the man looking extremely sturdy and cold at the moment. I don't know, these days Xiao Mingyui rarely saw Xiao Jiwang smiling infuriatingly like the first start they met. Like ... Xiao Mingyui had seen the real figure of Xiao Jiwang, the man was actually very lonely and cold. He was not as hideous as what people told him, it was according to Xiao Mingyui who had been trying to get to know him more closely lately.


Xiao Mingyui looked up, staring at the star-filled sky. He thought ... is this the night view that his late mother saw dozens of years ago to get his late father's medicine? How much love his mother so willing to wade through this mountain? How much love his father so dare to follow his mother to Mount Lang Tao with bad foot condition?


Wasn't his father known to be cold and cruel? How did his father know love? How did her father fall in love? People say that his character and character are very similar to his late father, then will he succeed like his father?


People also said that her appearance was very similar to that of her late mother, then would she succeed in making the Crown Prince fall in love with her beauty like a mother who made her father fall in love?


Xiao Mingyui continued to think about it, wondering if he would succeed like his parents did? The current emperor claimed his destiny was almost similar to his mother's destiny, then .. will he manage to survive and become as strong as his mother?


Slowly, Xiao Mingyui's two eyes closed. The woman fell asleep, she went back to sleep. But .... strangely slept this time he did not have any more nightmares.


The next day, Xiao Mingyui woke up to the howling of wolves. When he opened his eyes, he noticed immediately watching the surroundings. Ah ... The sky is still a little dark, it is still early morning.


Xiao Mingyui slightly moved his body to stretch his achy back muscles, then before long Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Jiwang turned their heads simultaneously. It seemed like the two men had woken up first, but chose to be a stone so that Xiao Mingyui's sleep was not disturbed.


"Jiejie, are you awake?" xiao Xiangqing asked, then immediately twisted his body to look at his sister perfectly.


Xiao Mingyui nodded. "Yes. Are we going to continue our journey?"


Xiao Xiangqing thought a little. "It looks like we're tun-"


"Yes. We continue." Xiao Jiwang cut out Xiao Xiangqing's sentence quickly, then stood up while gazing towards the path they were about to cross to get down from the mountain.


"If we buy time, it will be even more dangerous" Xiao Jiwang continued.


Xiao Xiangqing stood up, then stared disapprovingly at Xiao Jiwang. "But my sister's condition is not completely good, if we force her, then her leg condition will get worse."


Xiao Jiwang stared coldly at Xiao Jiwang. "I'll carry him down. Your hands are useless, right? If we stall for longer, then the strange poison in your sister's body will spread, and then your hands will rot because of the infection that never goes away."


Xiao Xiangqing was stunned. Whahuh? The man was willing to carry his brother down the mountain? Even thinking about the wounds of those two? As an enemy of the minor, Xiao Xiangqing was reluctant to acknowledge Xiao Jiwang's kindness. However, what Xiao Jiwang said right now was true. They shouldn't have taken much longer.


"Your majesty." Xiao Mingyui called Xiao Jiwang, making the man turn his head with his cold gaze accompanied by a questioning expression.


Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly. "If you're tired in the middle of the road please put me down, I'll try to walk a little bit. This poison does put my leg muscles to sleep, so he must occasionally be moved so that the poison does not put my muscles to sleep perfectly. If you object, then Xiangqing will help me slowly, although later we will be a little troubled because both are injured."


Xiao Xiangqing jumped down first from the boulder, then followed by Xiao Jiwang who had carried Xiao Mingyui in his hand. He could not carry Xiao Mingyui on his back because his back was injured. Now, each of them has a wound.


Xiao Mingyui stared at the surroundings of Lang Tao mountain, his condition was still very lonely. The occasional footsteps of Xiao Jiwang and Xiao Xiangqing settled down due to encountering a sleeping beast. They did not want to wake the monsters up because it would take time if used to fight.


Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Jiwang's steps suddenly stopped when they saw five wolves, two adults and three more were very small.


"Our path is covered by those wolves." Xiao Xiangqing stared warily at the wolves.


Xiao Jiwang frowned. "If we fight now then the other monsters will awaken, it will only make things worse."


"But there was something strange, both of their eyes were blue. Shouldn't all the eyes of the animals on this mountain be red?" xiao Mingyui said, realizing that Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Jiwang would be the oddity of the wolf in front of them.


Xiao Xiangqing had taken the horses, his right hand tightly grasping the sword hilt. If they have to fight, then fine. Xiao Xiangqing would try his best to fight in a quiet condition.


Xiao Mingyui slightly looked up to look at Xiao Jiwang. "You're not tired? I'd better get off because later you'll be a help-"


"Prinkle your circle around my neck. If I put you here, what if they realize that and attack you instead? That's a bad idea." Xiao Jiwang said that while tightening his grip on Xiao Mingyui's waist and his eyes were still staring warily at the wolves.


Xiao Mingyui was stunned, the man thought of himself getting there? Even though fighting with a sitting state, Xiao Mingyui can still do it even though it is a little limited in its movements. But at least he can protect himself, he's not that weak, yet ... Xiao Jiwang worried about himself as if he was very fragile and could not do anything about it. To be honest he was a little touched, as there was nothing to protect and thought about it to that extent. Even at home she used to be educated hard as a fighter as well as a perfect and graceful noble woman. Being beside Xiao Jiwang seemed to make it seem like he could rest for a while to unwind his fatigue.


As they were busy putting together plans, suddenly one of the wolf cubs found them and immediately ran towards them.


Xiao Xiangqing was startled, then he gritted his teeth. Shit, it looks like they will actually fight now.


The mother wolf who realized her child ran towards something followed her, before long the mother also realized what her child saw. Quickly, the mother held back her son's steps, then growled towards Xiao Xiangqing and the others.


His two other children and another adult wolf who seemed to be the father of the three of them followed, the male wolf was in the front row to protect his wife and children.


Xiao Xiangqing slowly came out of hiding with a sharp gaze and sword that had been drawn out, as well as Xiao Jiwang, the man caught up with Xiao Xiangqing and was now standing right beside Xiao Xiangqing while holding Xiao Mingyui.


The male wolf's face slightly changed when his blue eyes met Xiao Xiangqing's blue eyes. The male wolf then shifted his gaze towards Xiao Jiwang, then he growled again. However, as he looked at Xiao Mingyui and saw Xiao Mingyui's blue eyes, he stopped growling like before as he looked into Xiao Xiangqing's eyes.


The male wolf stared into Xiao Xiangqing's and Xiao Mingyui's eyes in turn until he slowly walked closer towards Xiao Xiangqing. Xiao Xiangqing slightly retreated, but when he realized the wolf was no longer growling, he was a little confused. The three of them stared, nothing moving, their eyes watching the male wolf.


The male wolf walked around Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Jiwang, his eyes still fixed towards Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Mingyui in turn. When content to notice them, the male wolf returned to its original position and suddenly lay on the ground and lowered his head. This movement was followed by his wife and children.


Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Mingyui looked at each other, they were confused. Xiao Jiwang was also no less confused, why did the wolf suddenly kneel down towards them? Moreover, he had previously noticed Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Mingyui very deeply, as if the wolf recognized them.


The wolf soon got back on its feet, then it howled. When the wolf turned around and turned towards them again like it wanted to show the way, Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Jiwang re-inserted their swords again.


Xiao Mingyui frowned. "Seems ... does he want us to follow him?"


"Is it safe?" xiao Jiwang asked cautiously.


Xiao Xiangqing shrugged both of his shoulders briefly. "Don't know, but .. sees him as if he doesn't consider us enemies, it should be safe."


Xiao Jiwang nodded briefly, then started to step forward. "Accept ...."


When Xiao Jiwang was right beside the wolf, suddenly the wolf muttered while turning his head, as if pointing at his back. The wolf was like it was asking Xiao Jiwang to put Xiao Mingyui on his back.


Xiao Jiwang hesitated, but in the end he tried to put Xiao Mingyui on top of the wolf. Xiao Mingyui carefully touched the body of the wolf, this was the first time he had ridden a wild wolf from Lang Tao mountain.


"Well, this wolf is gonna guide us back now." Xiao Xiangqing said that with a satisfied smile.
