A moment of silence.
A silence filled with shock and disbelief.
Lan Zhengqing and Zhu Ruoling both widened their eyes, unable to believe their ears.
Zhu Ruoling was the first to regain her senses, running in surprise to the Divine Phoenix, grabbing her hands with joy written all over her face.
"Really?! Divine Phoenix Sister?!"
The Divine Phoenix smiled slightly and nodded. "Really, why would I lie to you?"
"That's great!" Zhu Ruoling was so excited she almost jumped up, seemingly forgetting that Zhu Qilue's life was still uncertain.
After all, being able to go to the Water Clan and be with Lan Zhengqing, she couldn't be happier.
Lan Zhengqing, however, did not feel pleased.
He always felt something was amiss.
Although he had been insisting on bringing the two back with him to the Water Clan, the fact that the Divine Phoenix agreed so lightly made him feel uneasy.
He gazed intently at the Divine Phoenix, and after a long while, he softly spoke.
