Chapter 495: Phoenix Appears in the World?
Although the red-haired girl moved quickly, Fang Yu’s reaction was even faster.
Before the slap could reach his face, Fang Yu had already grabbed the girl’s right arm.
“The weather is so nice, why do you need to be so aggressive?” Fang Yu said.
The girl pulled forcefully, trying to free her captured right hand, but to no avail.
“I just have a question I want to ask you,” Fang Yu said, narrowing his eyes slightly.
“Bang!”
At that moment, the girl’s right palm suddenly emitted a red light, moving with incredible speed.
Fang Yu was hit directly, thrown backward and landing on the ground several meters away.
“Fang Yu!”
Tang Xiaorou screamed, running toward Fang Yu.
“I’m fine, don’t come closer,” Fang Yu stood up and said calmly.
He looked at the red-haired girl standing by the table, his gaze sharpening.
The red-haired girl stared back at Fang Yu, expressionless, her eyes still hollow, but her dark red pupils began to emit a faint glow.
“Why does she have hostility toward me?”
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly remembered what Violet had told him yesterday, that Gary had brought a young girl dressed in red with him to the Nine Provinces Country.
Could it be this girl in front of him?
And what was that aura around her that excited the divine dragon’s origin?
“Gary really is petty, isn’t he? It was just a broken robot. He said it was fine earlier,” Fang Yu shook his head and said.
Hearing Fang Yu’s words, the red-haired girl’s willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed, and she raised both hands, placing one palm over the other.
“My master… allows no one to slander him!”
Red light burst from the girl’s eyes, and her overlapped palms suddenly released an extremely terrifying aura!
“Boom…”
A shockwave exploded, flipping all the tables and chairs outside the dessert shop.
Tang Xiaorou fell to the ground, letting out a painful groan.
The two shop assistants inside looked at the situation outside with horrified expressions.
If the girl’s palm strike were to be released, everything within hundreds of meters would be reduced to nothing.
“Seems like she’s lost her senses.”
Fang Yu’s gaze turned cold, and then his figure moved, disappearing from his spot.
His speed reached the extreme, instantly rushing behind the girl.
The girl reacted, trying to turn around, but it was too late.
Fang Yu extended his right palm, chopping at the back of the girl’s neck.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, the girl fell heavily to the ground, the power gathered in her palms dissipating.
As she fell, the girl quickly flipped over, facing Fang Yu, and pushed both palms forward.
Two crimson flames shot toward Fang Yu.
Fang Yu clenched both fists, and the aura around his body suddenly erupted.
“Boom!”
The two flames were scattered by Fang Yu’s aura.
Fang Yu extended his right hand, grabbing the girl’s neck and lifting her up.
“Now can we talk properly?” Fang Yu said.
Even with her neck being gripped, the red-haired girl showed no fear or panic on her face, remaining expressionless.
“What’s your name?” Fang Yu asked.
The girl kept her pink lips tightly closed, not answering.
Fang Yu stopped asking and extended his left hand, lightly touching the red-haired girl’s fair forehead.
A white light appeared at his fingertip.
“Bang!”
At this moment, the girl who should have entered a trance state suddenly raised her right foot, kicking Fang Yu in the chest.
Although the girl’s build was petite, the force of this kick was comparable to those high-level monster beasts that had lived for hundreds or thousands of years!
Fang Yu stepped back several paces, simultaneously releasing his grip on the girl’s neck.
The girl landed on the ground, looking at Fang Yu, her pupils burning like red flames.
Her body faintly emitted waves of terrifying aura, and at the same time, her clothes slowly transformed into red feathers.
The shadow of a pair of wings appeared on her back.
This is…
Fang Yu frowned, surprise appearing in his eyes.
“Red Lotus, what are you doing? Come back immediately!”
At this moment, Gary’s voice sounded in the red-haired girl’s ear.
The girl’s expression changed, staring at Fang Yu, the red light in her eyes not diminishing in the slightest.
“I told you, don’t make a move against Fang Yu before we finish our business! I’ll say it again, leave that place immediately!” Gary said with increased severity.
At this point, a hint of blue light mysteriously lit up in the girl’s pupils.
Then, the aura around her immediately dissipated.
She stood straight, gave Fang Yu a glance, then suddenly turned and ran away, moving very quickly.
Fang Yu watched her departing figure, his gaze contemplative, choosing not to pursue.
“It seems this girl is the source of Gary’s confidence,” Fang Yu thought.
After the girl left, the golden dragon in his dantian returned to its normal state.
“Those wings just now, and the clothes transforming into feathers… could it be the legendary phoenix?”
Fang Yu frowned deeply, pondering.
It might seem presumptuous to judge that she was related to the phoenix just by seeing the feathers and the shadow of wings on her body.
But the reaction of the little golden dragon inside him, along with that ancient aura around the girl, made Fang Yu unable to avoid thinking in the direction of the phoenix.
What is a phoenix? An ancient divine beast on par with the divine dragon!
But in legends, the phoenix disappeared even earlier than the divine dragon, vanishing to unknown places.
“It shouldn’t be… divine dragon, phoenix… how could these divine beasts be encountered so easily?” Fang Yu patted his head, thinking.
Tang Xiaorou sat on the ground for a while before getting up and walking to Fang Yu.
“Fang Yu, are you okay?” Tang Xiaorou asked.
Fang Yu shook his head.
“Who was that girl? Why did she attack without saying anything?” Tang Xiaorou asked with a frown.
“Don’t ask, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you,” Fang Yu said. “Let’s go in and buy ice cream.”
Tang Xiaorou glared at Fang Yu dissatisfiedly, then turned and walked toward the dessert shop.
When Fang Yu fought with the red-haired girl, he had been holding back, so there wasn’t much damage to the surroundings.
“She suddenly left, probably because she received orders from Gary… which means Gary’s primary objective in coming to Xiang City isn’t me… what does he want to do?” While waiting for Tang Xiaorou, Fang Yu kept pondering.
…
“Red Lotus, why didn’t you follow my plan? Why did you make a move against Fang Yu ahead of time!?”
In the VIP room of Nandu University, Gary glared at the red-haired girl in front of him, his face full of anger.
Red Lotus didn’t speak, just lowered her head.
“I’ll state it again, our primary purpose in coming to Xiang City is to establish contact with the Immortal Clan, not to fight with Fang Yu!” Gary said angrily.
The reason for his anger wasn’t simply because Red Lotus had attacked Fang Yu.
He was angry because Red Lotus had disobeyed his orders!
He had implanted a chip in Red Lotus’s brain, which theoretically should control all of her behavior!
But even though he had issued the order not to attack Fang Yu, Red Lotus still did it!
This meant that the chip couldn’t fully control Red Lotus!
That was what angered him the most!
He had spent enormous resources to capture Red Lotus’s true form, and he couldn’t allow any errors!
Red Lotus was the key step to fulfilling his ultimate dream! He must keep her under absolute control!
“The chip still has flaws, it must be fixed as soon as possible!” Gary stared at Red Lotus in front of him, his face extremely cold.
…
“Fang Yu, is it very dangerous outside lately?” Tang Xiaorou asked, holding an ice cream in her right hand as she walked beside Fang Yu.
“In what way?” Fang Yu asked.
“Isn’t it said that many berserk warriors come out at night to kill people? It’s scary, I heard thousands of people have died already…” Tang Xiaorou said.
Hearing Tang Xiaorou’s words, Fang Yu remembered the urgent matter Mo Xiu had entrusted to him.
He needed to quickly find information about the Immortal Clan.
Fang Yu was a man of his word; once he promised something, he would definitely fulfill it.
However, the Immortal Clan was too well-hidden; without them showing themselves, Fang Yu had no way to start.
But at this moment, Fang Yu thought of someone.
Ye Shengxue.
Her father, Ye Zhennan, had been assimilated by the Immortal Clan, and along with Han Qi from the Han family, they had tried to ambush Fang Yu, only to be dealt with by him.
If Ye Zhennan had been assimilated by the Immortal Clan, what about the other members of the Ye family?
Fang Yu remembered that Ye Shengxue had once come to him, saying that the other people in the Ye family had become very strange.
A visit to the Ye family might yield some results.
“Fang Yu!” Tang Xiaorou shouted loudly when she saw Fang Yu not responding.
