Meeting the Phoenixes Again (2)

As soon as he saw the carriage, the Vermilion Bird turned pale. He would not go in, no matter what. He would rather transform and carry Shen Yanxiao as he flew than to ride the carriage.

Lan Fengli went with them too. So, Shen Yanxiao grabbed Lan Fengli with her left arm, hugged the little Phoenix in her right arm, and sat on the Vermilion Bird's back after he shifted. As they flew into the wind, she began to hum songs. They forged ahead toward the Lava Valley.

With the Vermilion Bird's speed, they had arrived at their destination in less than a day.

The Vermilion Bird took his human form again. His heart bled as he looked at the territory that once belonged to him.

The two Phoenixes had occupied it, not to mention that his master had been the one to it away. He could not find a real home, even if he wanted to run away from home!

They walked into the scorching Lava Valley. The heat did not hurt any of them.
