Qin Ning's struggle

For ten days, Qin Ning did not leave the room.

According to the tradition of the Yu tribe, the male bird successfully lures his mate back to the nest, but he often has to isolate himself from outsiders and stay alone for several days.

As a young man of ancestral descent, single for 5000 years, once he starts eating, the consequences can be imagined.

It wasn't the moa's trial period that was approaching. Representatives from various star cities arrived one after another, and the city lord needed to come forward. In half a month, Qin Ning would never even think about leaving the island in the middle of the lake.

On the 11th day, Qin Ning woke up from the dream, touched her side with her hand, and unexpectedly found something empty.Opening his eyes, he found that Bai Jue was not by his side.

Since returning to the crater, the two have been inseparable for almost a moment, which is quite rare.

Qin Ning was so tired, slightly surprised, but unable to think deeply.

Through the glass windows, warm orange light spills into the room.

Turning over lazily, Qin Ning yawned.The black wings of light retracted, and he fell asleep again in a drowsy state.

It's a pity that Wu Zang Temple doesn't give face.

Just as he closed his eyes and rubbed the smooth feathers, the sound of purring immediately sounded.

Qin Ning frowned, wanting to ignore it.

However, the physical exertion is too great, and sleep alone cannot make up for it.

He needs food.

According to the current food intake, it is estimated that one or two strange beasts will not be a problem.

Turning over again, with a sigh of resignation, Qin Ning propped up her elbows and sat up from the feathers.

The cylinder robot is always on standby.

Sensing Qin Ning's movements, the orange light above his head flickered. He immediately slid to the bed, picked up the toiletries, and added a glass of juice.

The transparent crystal cup holds the ice blue liquid, which tastes sweet.

After drinking half a glass in one breath, Qin Ning licked his lips and asked, "Is there any grilled fish? Barbecue is also fine."

The cylinder turned its head and gave a negative answer.

Qin Ning frowned, expressing his confusion.

According to common sense, domestic robots have relevant system settings, and such omissions should not occur.

"Really not?"

"Where's the grain?"

"Fruit is fine too."

"Is there nothing there?"

The orange light flashed twice, and the cylinder handed over another glass of juice.

There is no grilled meat, grilled fish, or even grains mentioned in the words.

Qin Ning's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

The cylinder slowly slid back to the wall, the metal arms were retracted, and the head was drooping, extremely depressed.

Yuantong felt "guilty" for not being able to meet Qin Ning's needs.

However, the program has been changed, and the juice is the limit.The rest... can't be done anyway.

Putting down the crystal cup, Qin Ning clutched his stomach, feeling more and more hungry.I really had no choice but to get out of bed by myself and go downstairs to find something to eat.

If there is no more, you can only open the space-time trader and exchange with the hosts of other star domains.

As for leaving Huxin Island, I never thought about it.

In ten days, Qin Ning understood a lot of "common sense".

Before getting the permission of your partner, if you leave the island in the middle of the lake at will, the consequences will be quite serious.

With Bai Jue's personality, she couldn't get out of bed for about a month.

Although it is not a bad thing, he is not unacceptable.However, considering various issues, it is better to be cautious.

Putting on a long robe and combing her hair casually, Qin Ning spread her wings and flew towards the door.

Even for Phoenix, rolling on the bed for ten days is still a bit unbearable.

His legs are weak when he walks, so he can only rely on his wings to fly.

Before he could press the control panel, the door suddenly slid open to both sides.Platinum-blond hair drifted past his eyes, and the aroma of food flooded his nostrils instantly.

"woke up?"

Bai Jue's voice was a little low, and the moment it flowed into the eardrum, it aroused unconscious tremors.

Qin Ning sniffled and tried to back away.

The idea didn't materialize.

An arm was wrapped around his waist, and he was directly lifted up and sent back to the bed.

"I'm hungry." Rolling in the platinum feathers, Qin Ning said with a frown.

"I know."

Bai Jue sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and kissed Qin Ning's cheek.Put your fingers into your hair and press down slowly.Then rolled up a strand, wrapped it between the fingers, and sent it to the lips for a light kiss.

"I just didn't expect that you still had the strength to get out of bed."

While speaking, the breath got closer and closer.

The warm palm covered the shoulder blades, stroking along the edge of the light wings at an unbearable speed.Staying at the tip, tracing the shape of the feather.

Qin Ning bit her cheek, and couldn't help the heat in her ears.

It is certain that if Bai Jue continues to touch, to fill his stomach or something, he will be thrown out of the sky immediately.

A certain swan will instantly become excited, with only one thought on its mind: to pounce on it and pull the swan back onto the bed.

Fortunately, Bai Jue "stopped" in time.His fingertips slid across the light wings and returned to Qin Ning's hair.

"eat something."

After the words fell, a piece of crispy grain cake was brought to his mouth.

"I want to eat fish." Qin Ning frowned, reluctantly.

It is true that Fenghuang is not a vegetarian, but given the current situation, he prefers to eat meat.

"There are seashells in it."

Finding Qin Ning's expression quite amusing, Bai Jue pecked the tip of his nose and squeezed a piece of grain cake.

Indeed, a whole seashell was encased in it.

"This kind of seashell is very rare and tastes very good."

Bai Jue lifted Qin Ning's chin, put the grain cakes directly to his mouth, and said with a smile, "Only three primitive stars are produced under Yucheng's jurisdiction. Due to the scarcity of the number, the fishing period is limited to two months. This is the first One batch."

Since there is meat, Qin Ning will naturally not refuse.

The grains are roasted, and the shellfish are covered with elastic teeth, adding a layer of umami.

"good to eat."

After eating a piece of grain cake, Qin Ning narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.He took the initiative to sit up and took the tray from Bai Jue's hand.The cereal cake, half the size of a palm, disappeared at a rapid speed, leaving only the bottom of the plate in the blink of an eye.

Chewing the last piece of seashell, Qin Ning puffed up his cheeks, and turned his gaze to the barbecue on the plate.

Bai Jue suddenly leaned over and licked the corner of his mouth.

"Ah?" Qin Ning turned her head, and subconsciously stuck out the tip of her tongue, marking the licked area.

"It tastes really good."

With his thumb brushing against his lips, Honghu smiled meaningfully.

A certain raven blinked, and blinked again.

Turning the corner in my head, my ears turned red immediately, and my whole body almost smoked.

With a groan of distress, it shouldn't be.

What should be done and what should not be done has already been done.Blushing because of one sentence, it's really worthless!

Or is it that this swan's rank is too high, and he is not an opponent at all?

Recalling the first meeting until now, Qin Ning has to admit that in front of Bai Jue, if he wants to stand up, his chances are infinitely close to zero.

When he was distracted, a piece of barbecue was handed to his mouth.

In less than two seconds, the willpower collapsed.

Unable to resist the temptation, Qin Ning was defeated by the barbecue.

While opening his mouth to bite the barbecue, he comforted himself, no matter what, let's talk about it when we are full.Turning around or something can be discussed in the long run.

Ever since, one feeds and the other eats.

In a short while, a plate of grain cakes, three plates of grilled meat, four grilled fish, and two cups of freshly squeezed fruit juice all entered Qin Ning's stomach.

After gulping down the juice and putting down the glass, Qin Ning licked her lips, half full.

He wanted to eat again, but Bai Jue shook his head.

"There is a banquet tonight, it's best not to eat too much."

"Banquet?" Qin Ning was surprised.

"It is held for the representatives of each star city."

The cylindrical robot slid forward, put away the tray, and handed over the cloth towel at the same time.

Bai Jue wiped his hands, pulled Qin Ning into his arms, brushed a strand of black hair with his fingers, and pinched his earlobe.

"As the city lord, I must attend."

"I also want?"

"Of course." Kissing Qin Ning's hair, Bai Jue smiled, "You are the only one, my spouse. In fact, there are quite a few people who want to meet you."

"is it?"

Qin Ning muttered, it was the first time in his ten lives that he encountered such an occasion.

He is not good at communication, what if he can't handle it well?

"It's ok."

Bai Jue lifted Qin Ning's chin, pressed it against his forehead, and said calmly, "If you don't like it, you can ignore it. It's not you who should be nervous, understand?"

Qin Ning was stunned.

This is telling him, which one is not pleasing to the eye, just treat it as air?

Bai Jue raised one eyebrow and nodded with a smile.

"You are a phoenix, so you have the right to do so. It won't do them any good to offend you. On the contrary, as long as you have a brain, you will try to please you."

"Please me?" Qin Ning clicked her tongue.How do you say that?

"They will give out a lot of gifts." Bai Jue tilted his head and said with a smile, "Perhaps, I should prepare a few more storage containers for you."

"you do not mind?"

"Of course not." Bai Jue kissed the corner of Qin Ning's mouth, "Actually, I'm proud of it."

Before changing to Qin Ning, he would expel any foreigner who had the intention to show affection to Qin Ning.Now that Qin Ning is his spouse, it doesn't hurt to accept some gifts.

Moreover, as the only phoenix, even if the phoenix is ​​in the same clan, it still has a detached status.

The next Emperor Yu must be Phoenix.

There are ethnic groups who want to surrender and become vassals of the Phoenix like hawks. This is the best opportunity right now.

"You can use this to observe and determine which clan has the strongest strength and the most sincerity."

Ignoring Qin Ning's surprised expression, Bai Jue continued: "Don't rush to make a decision, you can take your time."

In short, stretch them.

During this period, more ethnic groups will understand who will rule the future blue domain.

Originally, after the Emperor Yu abdicated, Bai Jue had to take over in person, which took all kinds of painstaking efforts.

Since the reappearance of Suzaku and Cui, more "choices" are in front of him, and Bai Jue has the opportunity to unload the burden.Even if Chi Yun is unwilling to take over, Jin Yun and Jin Xiang, who are the blood of the patriarch of the clan, are also good candidates.

As long as it is confirmed that the next Emperor Yu comes from Phoenix, nothing else matters.

After hearing these words, Qin Ning was speechless for a long time.

He suddenly felt that some of Suzaku's words were true.

The swans are all white-haired and black-bellied, and this one in front of them is even more outstanding, surpassing ordinary people, no, it is a regular bird.

After that, Qin Ning took a short break for half an hour before being awakened by the cylinder robot.

The dresses are laid out one by one, and with the accessories sent by the little phoenixes, it is completely predictable what effect the upper body will have.

Four words: jewelry.

Eight words: mobile jewelry display stand.

In this regard, Bai Jue has another opinion.

Seeing Qin Ning frowning, looking at the dress and accessories, he simply replaced the cylinder robot and combed his hair himself.

"It's tradition."

As the warm breath brushed past her ears, Qin Ning unconsciously relaxed.

Leaning in front of Bai Jue, he glanced at the opened jewelry box. Isn't it just a few pieces of jewelry, isn't it just blinding people's eyes, it's nothing special!

At the same time, there were bursts of roars in the sky above the main city.

One starship after another passed through the clouds and sailed into the airport.

The golden eagles in Yancheng, the snowy owls and horned owls in Yacheng, the vultures in Huangcheng, the hawks in Qingcheng, the doves in Graycheng, the ground penguins in Bingcheng, and the kite and small feather tribes in various settlements. The starship arrives.

Among them, the gray eagle in Lincheng and the monkey hunting bird in Shicheng have attracted special attention.

The former replaced Black Eagle as the ruler of Lincheng, occupying several seats in the newly formed parliament.

As Wu Tan's "alliance", the latter was not as guilty as Long Niao, and was not publicly held accountable, but it was quite embarrassing to appear at this time and face the eyes of everyone.

The docks were opened one after another, and the starships painted with totems of various ethnic groups fell smoothly one after another.

As ground commanders, the Buteo and the Golden Eagle led the representatives of each star city to different residences.

Interestingly, Lincheng and Shicheng live next to each other, and it's hard to say whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement.

It's just that, compared to the black eagle and the moa, which are fighting to the death, from the alliance to the deadly enemy, the gray eagle and the monkey bird get along pretty well.

The bottom line is that without the war between Yinggan and Wutan, they would not be able to ascend to a high position and control a star city.

As people with vested interests, both of them know where they stand and what they should do.

With this kind of thinking in mind, there will be no friction between the two.However, it is completely impossible to be friendly with each other, or even form an alliance.

It is not only the clansmen of Yinggan and Wutan who participated in the war.

After the war, between the two star cities, the ethnic groups that embraced each other still accounted for the vast majority.

"After sunset, a banquet will be held in the central city, and the city lord invites everyone to attend."

The hawks and golden eagles who led the way were dutiful and very polite, without missing any details, but their attitudes were not enthusiastic.

Compared with the hawks, the golden ones are more serious. When they meet the relatives of Yancheng, they are still rigid and don't exchange more greetings.The purpose is only to regain Honghu's trust and not be excluded from the vassal group.

"Please tell City Lord Bai that we will be there on time."

The representatives of each star city are very polite.

Knowing that the Suzaku, the scorpion and the scorpion will all appear at the banquet, they are immediately full of energy.Discuss in private whether to double the gift amount.

"As far as I know, that bird is the spouse of Lord Bai." A representative of Yancheng said.

"Being a vassal of Honghu, the competition is too fierce. It may be more appropriate to show favor to Mianji."

The other representatives looked at each other deeply.

The same dialogue occurs between different representatives.

As Bai Jue expected, at the banquet, Qin Ning received a mountain of gifts, far surpassing the rest of the same clan.

The central city area was brightly lit, and the representatives of each star city were busy showing their friendship to Phoenix and paving the way for the future.

Wu Tan, who was about to go to the dock, was imprisoned alone in the stone room.

Through the window, looking at the dark night sky, Wu Tan's eyes are cold, and his body is covered with a layer of death.
