Chapter 749 Phoenixes (4)

Qing Bao Lan naturally knew that this was a bad situation and she didn't want anything to happen to her Xiao Feng, so she came out to say, "Auntie Feng, it's not what you think! They didn't kidnap me, daddy sent me with them to see you!"

The bird in the air had almost finished gathering the flames for its flame breath before it suddenly jolted and almost swallowed those flames.

It quickly released the flames that had gathered in its mouth and gave two coughs before asking, "Lan Lan, what are you saying? Are they making you say these things?"

The reason why the bird had stopped gathering flames was because it had seen that Qing Bao Lan had come forward to stand in front of Lin Fan's group. If it really released its flame breath, the first person that it would hit was Qing Bao Lan and naturally it wasn't willing to do that.

The bird looked at Qing Bao Lan with a confused look before looking at Lin Fan with a hostile look and saying, "If you did anything to Lan Lan, I will never forgive you!"

Lin Fan gave a sigh while shaking his head.

Why were these True Spirit Realm beasts all so impulsive?

None of them took a moment to think and all went with their instincts…

But then again, they were beasts, so this was something that was normal for them.

Lin Fan came forward with Qing Bao Lan and took out a token that he raised before saying, "This was given to me by Brother Qing, I think that this should prove my identity."

The bird looked closely at the token before revealing a shocked look.

It could feel that aura that was coming from the token and it was certain that this was Qing Ao's aura. This was an aura that it had felt countless times before, so there was no mistaking it.

But then it couldn't help looking at the human who was holding this token with a confused look.

Why would Brother Ao give this human his token?

p Not to mention, this human was even addressing Brother Ao as Brother Qing.

It could tell that this human wasn't that old, but he was actually calling Qing Ao brother?

But there was no mistaking the aura of the token, so it decided to trust this human for now.

So after a moment to think, the bird of flames suddenly started to shrink until it became the size of a human. It also started to move closer to them as it shrunk until it landed right in front of them, taking the shape of a beautiful woman with fiery red hair.

As soon as she landed, she ignored Lin Fan's group before coming forward to pick Qing Bao Lan up in her embrace.

After she picked Qing Bao Lan up, she immediately moved back away from Lin Fan's group. While she held Qing Bao Lan in one hand, she raised her other hand to form a sword of flames that she pointed at Lin Fan.

Then she said in a cold voice, "Explain yourself."

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this, but then he told this woman everything that happened.

This woman calmly listened to Lin Fan, but never once during his story did she lower her sword.

Even when Lin Fan was finished with his story, she still pointed the flame sword right at him. Lin Fan almost thought that she wanted to cut him down still based on the look on her face.

She looked down at Qing Bao Lan and after leaning in to whisper a few things, she finally brought the sword down and let the flames dissipate. Then she said, "Alright, come with me into my abode and we'll talk further."

Without a single word, she jumped into the pit of lava that was in front of them and sunk down.

Lin Fan looked at where she had sunk in with a surprised look and then he didn't know how to react to this.

He could feel the heat that was coming from the pool of lava in front of him, this was not something that normal people could survive. It wasn't even something that powerful cultivators could survive.

While he didn't doubt that the woman was fine since she was made of flames, he couldn't help worrying about Qing Bao Lan who had been in that woman's embrace. After all, Qing Bao Lan wasn't fireproof just like that woman.

When he turned to Angela and Yuki to ask what they should do, he found that the two of them had already come to the edge of the volcano. He had a bad feeling, but before he could say anything, the two of them had already jumped into the lava.

The two slender figures didn't remain long before they disappeared under the surface of the lava.

There was only Lin Fan and Xiao Feng who were left standing there, not knowing what to do.

The two of them looked at each other and just stood there in a daze.

That was until there was a head that suddenly poked out of the surface of the lava.

Qing Bao Lan looked at the two of them with a confused look and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

When the two of them heard this from Qing Bao Lan, they couldn't help feeling awkward, but this also told them that there was nothing to fear. It was most likely that there was a passage where the woman had jumped in that would allow them in.

So Lin Fan picked up Xiao Feng and jumped into the pool of lava where that woman had jumped in earlier.

As expected, there was no heat when they touched the pool of lava. There wasn't even contact with the lava as they fell right through.

There had been an illusion array set up where the entrance was, so it only made it seem like there was lava when in reality there was actually a large hole. But of course, all around the large hole was still the lake of lava, so there was still heat that came from around them.

It didn't take long before Lin Fan and Xiao Feng landed and they found that they were right in the center of the volcano.

In front of them was a giant palace that wasn't inferior to Qing Ao's palace and waiting for them were the girls.

But the strange thing was that without knowing what happened, it seemed like the woman with the fiery red hair had suddenly become close to Angela and Yuki.

She ignored Lin Fan as she led the two of them into the palace while holding Qing Bao Lan. All three of them ignored Lin Fan in the end, it was only Qing Bao Lan who turned back, but the only person that was in her eyes was Xiao Feng.

Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile as he followed behind them, coming into the hall of the palace.

The fiery red haired woman led their group to the main living room of the palace and had them sit down before saying with a sharp look, "Now, let's talk." However, the look that she gave off clashed very much with her appearance as she held Qing Bao Lan in her hands.

Lin Fan didn't say anything about it, suppressing the awkward feeling that he had before saying, "Brother Qing asked us to come here to warn you about the attackers and to see if you needed any help."

The fiery red haired woman narrowed her eyes before saying, "There's no need for your help. There were attackers, but we've already repelled them."

Lin Fan knitted his brows slightly as he asked, "Then do you have any children? The attackers will also target children."

The fiery red haired woman said, "I've already checked on my daughter, there's no way for them to get in here in the first place. After all, no one is crazy enough to jump into that pool of lava."

Thinking of what happened earlier, Lin Fan had to agree with her, but then he looked at Angela and Yuki and he couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.

Well, there were two people who were crazy enough…

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Lin Fan knew that this woman still didn't fully trust him, so he knew that it was hard to get any information from her.

As he was thinking about what to say, there was a figure that suddenly appeared in the air.

This red figure looked around before his eyes fell onto the fiery red haired woman and said, "Xiao Ling? Is that you, Xiao Ling?"

The fiery red haired woman revealed a confused look at first since she didn't know how this person knew her name, but then when she took a closer look at this person, she couldn't help revealing a stunned look as she said, "Elder Hong? Is that really you, Elder Hong?"

The one who had suddenly appeared was Hong Long.

Hong Long took a close look at the fiery red haired woman and couldn't help saying, "You've really grown into a beauty. I still remember back in the day when you were a snot nosed brat who used to follow Xiao Ao around."

The fiery red haired woman's cheeks were covered in a blush before she said, "Elder Hong!"

Hong Long gave a chuckle before saying, "So you followed Xiao Ao to this world. What happened?"

The fiery red haired woman gave a sigh before saying, "It's a long story."
