689 Chapter 689 “Griffin City“
Yan Fenghuang?!
"Oh hi, sister Yan" Long Ao Zhen lips twitched when he saw the girl with pink hair suddenly popped out from behind his mother. He was never guarded against this girl before but somehow after getting together with Li Shi Ying...he automatically wants to avoid this girl!
"B-brother Long why are you so cold to me now?" Noticing how Long Ao Zhen responds with only a simple, awkward greeting, Yan Fenghuang couldn’t help but put on an aggrieved face.
The girl looked at Long Ao Zhen with teary eyes as she hides half of her face using her long sleeves. The girl looked very pitiful no matter how you saw it. Yan Fenghuang played her victim card really well!
"Ao’er don’t be so cold go her you used to be so kind to her, remember?" Long Ao Zhen’s mother patted Yan Fenghuang shoulder as she looked at Long Ao Zhen with sad eyes. The Empress even mentioned the good old days as a reminder to Long Ao Zhen.
"I...I’m just tired" Long Ao Zhen had a goosebump seeing her mother looked at him with blaming expression. Is it his fault that he acted cold to this girl now he had a wife?
Sure he was kind to this girl before because she was one of his childhood friends. A cute girl at the same age as Li Shi Ying. Not to mention that they learn martial arts from the same master making them senior and junior in a situation.
But beyond that, he never felt really close to this girl. Not close enough until he had a thought to marry her or have even a bit spark of romantic feeling.
"I’m alright auntie...brother Long must be tired after just coming back from the lower realm, let him rest" Yan Fenghuang hurriedly tugged on the empress’ sleeves acting like a sensible obedient girl.
This of course successfully made Long Ao Zhen’s mother to greatly liked Yan Fenghuang even more.
"What a good child. Right, Ao’er you must be tired. You can go now. Your father commanded me to never let you out from your residence but we can visit you so don’t worry" The empress sat down again on her throne with Yan Fenghuang sitting next to her as she told his son to leave and receive the punishment.
As usual, the emperor was too soft on Long Ao Zhen and thus asking his wife to declare the punishment instead. What a doting father!
"Yes, mom I’ll go now" Long Ao Zhen didn’t take a look at Yan Fenghuang any longer and quickly stood up before exiting the hall. The man didn’t even say anything after his mother declared his punishment.
Seeing Long Ao Zhen who would usually treat her with care as her own family now suddenly turned cold, Yan Fenghuang subconsciously frowned her beautiful phoenix-like eyebrows.
Her golden eyes shone in a mysterious light as she kept accompanying the empress for a chit chat.

"So this is Griffin City..." Li Shi Ying muttered when she and Gu Zhong could finally enter the capital after passing through the green gate. She couldn’t believe that the whole huge island was in fact only 1 city, Griffin City since that would mean this city was so big compared to the capital of other countries!
But now she gets inside, she could understand why this city was so big. It’s because the city itself was mixed with forest and another nature area! She could spot a big lake in the middle of the town, a small or big forest just right around the corner...
This city was like an Elf City isn’t it? Not to mention there were a lot of flying objects passing above her head, strange vehicles roaming around the city...even the spiritual beasts here were walking around the city leisurely without people panicking and such!
"Are you surprised?" Gu Zhong looked at Li Shi Ying as they strolled the city on foot. Since they didn’t need the flying beast anymore, it’s better to walk so that Li Shi Ying could enjoy the city to her heart content.
"Yes, I’m surprised. This city is really unique. Spiritual beasts from the forests go to the street and mingle with humans...this is unbelievable. Spiritual beasts usually hate human so how come your country can make this interaction happen?"
Li Shi Ying asked Gu Zhong as she headed to an inn the man had prepared for her in advance. Gu Zhong had offered to be her guide even when she needs to find the herb that’s why they had enough time to strolled the city together.
"The spiritual beasts you see here are all tame. They have been tamed and the royal family let them live in their original habitat. The forest around the city is all filled with tamed spiritual beasts. The wild one are all driven out to a bigger forest at the outer part of the city"
Gu Zhong smiled as he told Li Shi Ying about why the spiritual beasts around could mingle with humans without any problems. It turned out that they had been tamed but not contracted to a master!
So where is the wild spiritual beasts? She was sure the herb she needed won’t be in the forest inside the city area, could it be the area outside the city?
