Outside the Phoenix Tree Forest, the atmosphere had become tense.
Chu Nian leaned on Mu Qingge's shoulder, trying to soothe the shock in her heart. However, this action led to a misunderstanding by the Phoenix Emperor, causing the Simurgh Guards to draw their swords.
Mu Qingge furrowed her eyebrows slightly, and before she could react, Chu Nian, leaning on her shoulder, took a step forward and stood in front of Mu Qingge and Yin Chen.
She angrily rebuked the Phoenix Emperor, "What are you doing!"
"Child, how dare this human treat you so rudely!" The Phoenix Emperor was taken aback and immediately explained to Chu Nian.
"He is my friend, and he accompanied me here. If you want to kill him, then kill me too." Chu Nian's heart was in turmoil, and she roared at the Phoenix Emperor in a venting manner.
The Phoenix Emperor's body stiffened, and he hurriedly said, "No! Don't be angry, my child." With that, he waved his hand, and the Simurgh Guards retreated behind him.
