Chapter 14903 Long-Term Plan
The little phoenix had been wronged before and wanted to outdo Lingxiao in flying, so as to mock him as well.
Who would have thought that Ling Xiao would stay with her the whole time and never be left behind?
This sparked her competitive spirit.
"Hmph, I'll see if you can still catch up with her now! You pretentious jerk!"
With a cold snort, the little phoenix suddenly activated its divine power, increasing its speed. Its entire figure transformed into a red flame, moving at an extremely fast speed. In just an instant, it threw Ling Xiao to a very far place.
It disappeared into the horizon.
Ling Xiao shook his head: "He really is just a kid. I actually argued with such a little brat before, which was a bit like bullying a child."
However, despite saying that, he didn't delay.
With a slight smile, he casually drew a teleportation rune.
The figure vanished from its spot in an instant, and when it reappeared, it had already surpassed the little phoenix and arrived in front of it.
He stood there, smiling as he watched the little phoenix who had just arrived, wanting to see how this disobedient brat would behave.
The little phoenix almost crashed into Ling Xiao, then suddenly stopped.
She stared in disbelief at Ling Xiao standing there, momentarily unsure whether she was dreaming or in reality.
After a long while, she finally came to her senses and pointed at Ling Xiao: "You... how did you do that? This is impossible!"
She knew best how fast she was, yet Ling Xiao was in front of her in an instant. This was simply bullying.
Ling Xiao said calmly, "There's nothing special about it. I just used what I'm best at."
"Sacred runes!" the little phoenix exclaimed.
"That's right, to be precise, it's a teleportation rune. You can set a target and then teleport directly through space. Although this simple teleportation array doesn't have a very long teleportation distance, it's more than enough to surpass yours."
Ling Xiao answered calmly, as if it were a trivial matter and there was no need to get so excited.
Little Phoenix opened her mouth, having prepared her words for a long time, but in the end, she only said three words: "You cheated!"
Ling Xiao smiled.
"Little Phoenix, get this straight. I'm a Saint Rune Master. You use the Phoenix bloodline, and I use Saint Rune techniques. That's fair and normal, right? How can that be called cheating?"
He's such a little brat. He starts cheating when he can't win. He's really been spoiled by Chishui Phoenix.
Little Phoenix wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with any words to refute him, because what Ling Xiao said really made sense.
However, at this moment, she did feel a slight admiration for Ling Xiao.
She has always been proud, relying on the blessing of the phoenix bloodline, she believed that no one among the younger generation in the Chaotic Martial World could be faster than her. Unexpectedly, in a competition, Ling Xiao simply made a casual move and completely surpassed her.
I'm really impressed by her.
"Want to continue the competition?" Ling Xiao asked the little phoenix casually.
"What are you talking about!"
The little phoenix said somewhat dejectedly, "You use holy runes to teleport, how can I compare to you? Fine, fine, I admit that I'm not as fast as you, okay? A grown man like you, bullying a little girl, aren't you ashamed?"
Ling Xiao was speechless. How did this get involved in bullying? Women really do change their tune very quickly.
Immediately.
The two walked side by side, their two beams of light intertwining in the sky as they sped toward Chishui City. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than before, with less of the confrontation and more of a subtle harmony.
"Oh, right."
Ling Xiao suddenly spoke, gazing at the distant horizon, and asked in a calm tone:
"At our current speed, how long will it take to reach Chishui City?"
The little phoenix suppressed her emotions, thought carefully, and answered:
"If nothing unexpected happens, we should arrive in about half an hour."
Chishui City lies a thousand miles ahead on the banks of the Chishui River.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, without asking any further questions. He gazed into the distance, his eyes deep, as if deep in thought. His aura returned to its usual calm and composure.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and a blurry outline of a city gradually appeared on the horizon, becoming clearer and clearer.
That was Chishui City.
From the air, Chishui City is not particularly large, and its city walls are not as magnificent and imposing as Ling Xiao had imagined; in fact, they can be described as rather simple.
The city walls, built of gray boulders, are mottled and ancient, and the city towers are also quite ordinary, without much carving or painting. They are far from the brilliance and majesty that he had in mind for the "Phoenix City".
"What, do you think our Chishui City isn't grand enough?"
The little phoenix keenly sensed the surprise in Ling Xiao's eyes, and her tone immediately became slightly proud, her chin raised slightly:
"Don't underestimate this place. The city is famous because of its people, not because of how high the city walls are or how big or magnificent the palaces are."
My mother is here. Chishui City is the most awe-inspiring place in the entire Chaotic Martial World, without exception.
Ling Xiao glanced at her, a knowing look flashing in his eyes. He nodded thoughtfully, not refuting her words. He understood that in this chaotic martial world where the strong prey on the weak, the power of the strong was far more significant than the grandeur of a city.
"It's clear that you greatly admire your mother, Chishui Phoenix."
Ling Xiao smiled. Perhaps, for the little phoenix, its mother, the Crimson Water Phoenix, was the sky, the most powerful being in this chaotic martial world. It seemed normal for it to worship her.
"Of course! If you had a mother like that, wouldn't you admire her?" The little phoenix's eyes were full of pride and admiration. "My mother is the most powerful being in the Chaotic Martial World. My dream is to be as powerful as her and become her pride!"
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said with interest, "It's not wrong to admire your mother, but it's wrong that you seem to have made your mother your everything. You can't live on her glory alone. Can't you live your own life?"
The little phoenix was stunned for a moment.
She seemed never to have thought about this question. She only thought about how incomparable her mother was and how she wanted to live like her mother, but she never thought about what she had or how she should really live.
This does seem to be a problem.
My talents are far inferior to my mother's, and I may never be as great as her in my lifetime.
Why can't we choose another path?
Surpass Mother!
No, no, no, Mother is so great, she can't have such thoughts.
Ling Xiao seemed to see through Little Phoenix's thoughts: "Your mother is indeed powerful, but that's because of her talent, her hard work, and her killing. But what about you? What have you done?"
"Isn't everything you have now because of your status? While it's true that you can rely on your status—it's an innate advantage—have you ever thought about what you would do if something happened to your mother?"
Little Phoenix didn't speak; her face was gradually turning pale.
No one had ever explained these principles to her. She always felt that it was only natural to live happily on her mother's laurels.
But she never considered that if something happened to her mother, or if her mother encountered an invincible enemy, she would not only be unable to help at all, but would also become a burden.
“Under normal circumstances, your mother is indeed your protector, that’s true! But you can’t be complacent. These things will eventually change, will be lost. What will you do then?”
Ling Xiao sighed, "Didn't you ever think about protecting Chishui City and your future with your own strength? Or even helping your mother? A fledgling eagle has to grow up eventually. Can you really be a little less capable than your mother forever?"
The little phoenix was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. She lowered her head and flew while pondering these words.
