Chapter 442: I’m Just Passing By (1)_1
Xiaohuo looked at the obstinate Ye Luo, recalling from his ancestral memories that when Ye Luo was but a common Purple Eagle without awakened bloodline, Vermilion Bird had given him much assistance and even saved his life. To express his gratitude, he wished to stay by her side. However, Vermilion Bird refused and said that if they met again and he had fully unlocked his bloodline, breaking through to become a Divine Spiritual Beast, then she would permit him to follow her.
"You are an ancient Spiritual Beast, now the king of your clan, with your own status and power," Xiaohuo continued to try to persuade Ye Luo.
"None of that can stop my heart from following Lady Vermilion Bird!" Ye Luo declared resolutely, "Ye Xi, from today on, you are the king of the Purple Eagle Clan. I, Ye Luo, pass the kingship to you. You must lead the Purple Eagles to live well."
"My king..." Ye Xi looked at Ye Luo. He understood and sympathized with Ye Luo’s decision, but deep down, he still wished Ye Luo would stay.
"The Purple Eagle Clan is now in your hands." Ye Luo handed over the ring that symbolized the kingship of the Purple Eagles to Ye Xi, then turned to Vermilion Bird, pleading, "Lady Vermilion Bird, I am no longer the king of the Purple Eagles. Please allow me to follow you."
Seeing Ye Luo’s determination, Xiaohuo nodded helplessly and said, "Then recognize my master as your master."
Upon hearing Xiaohuo’s words, Ye Luo smiled, willingly accepted Dugu Qianye as his master, and took his place behind Xiaohuo. Meanwhile, the Purple Eagle, seeing that Ye Luo had truly accepted Dugu Qianye as his master, returned under Ye Xi’s lead.
Now, only the people of the Phoenix Clan were left on the South Coast. Although there were quite a few of them, under Xiaohuo’s gaze, everyone felt there was nowhere to hide.
