"I do have quite a few of the finest wines."
Ye Qing smiled faintly and said, "But I'm already sick of all that good wine. It's totally tasteless."
"After drinking so much, I still have to drink Erguotou. It gives me the most energy and tastes the best."
"Why, do you dislike this Erguotou and don't want to drink with me?"
The Fire Phoenix King showed a bitter look on his face, and smiled helplessly, "You have already drunk all those rare wines, but I haven't even tasted them."
"Come on, let's just have Erguotou, so that I don't get a bad taste in my mouth after drinking this great wine."
"Come on, touch one!"
The two men, each holding a wine gourd, sat on the crater and started drinking wine from cup to cup.
As he was drinking, Ye Qing suddenly thought of something and asked with a faint smile, "My dear brother, how is my great nephew doing these days?"
"Hahaha, that's great."
The Fire Phoenix King immediately revealed a proud smile and clapped his hands slowly.
With a loud cry, another fire phoenix bathed in flames flew out from the crater.
This fire phoenix is not completely red, but has red and white feathers. Its wings cover the clouds and block out the sun, and it exudes a noble aura.
Although his cultivation level is not as high as that of the Fire Phoenix King, he is not inferior to his father in terms of majesty, dominance and heroic demeanor.
Ye Qing couldn't help but look surprised, "This... is this Xiaobai?"
"After not seeing each other for just over a year, I didn't expect that Xiaobai's appearance has changed so much."
The Fire Phoenix King grinned and said, "Of course, big brother, don't you see whose son Xiaobai is?"
"The descendants of my Fire Phoenix family are naturally brave and domineering, and they claim to be the best in the world!"
"Tsk, tsk, you're really rude when I flatter you."
Ye Qing curled his lips and said, "I think it won't be long before you can give up your position as the Protector of the Nation to Xiao Bai."
……
At the same time, in the Da Qi Palace.
Qu Qingyan is concentrating on handling complicated government affairs.
Suddenly, Fengzu Chang Yunxiao rushed in from outside, his face full of excitement and ecstasy.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news!"
Chang Yunxiao, who usually keeps his emotions secret, was so happy today that he lost his composure. Qu Qingyan couldn't help but look suspicious.
"Feng Zu, what good news makes you so happy?"
Chang Yunxiao said excitedly, "Emperor Ye...Emperor Ye has come to our Great Qi Dynasty!"
"what?!"
After hearing what Chang Yunxiao said, Qu Qingyan was shocked and stood up suddenly, her body shaking violently with excitement.
"Feng Zu, you...are you telling the truth?!"
"Ye Qing has finally returned to the Great Qi Dynasty and is finally willing to forgive my mistakes!"
"Quick, where is he now? I want to go and greet him in person!"
Chang Yunxiao shook his head and said, "Ye Qing did not return to the Imperial City and did not come to see us."
"Instead, we went to the Tianyan Volcano to drink and chat with the Fire Phoenix King."
Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Qu Qingyan's beautiful eyes.
"Sure enough, Ye Huang still refuses to forgive me for what I did back then..."
Chang Yunxiao couldn't help but said anxiously, "Your Majesty, although Ye Qing has not returned to the Imperial City, his willingness to return to the Great Qi Dynasty is enough to prove his attitude."
"Ye Qing is now an immortal, able to go up to the sky and down to the earth, and travel across the four seas. He is omnipotent."
"This may be the last time we can see him in the Great Qi Dynasty!"
After hearing Chang Yunxiao's words, Qu Qingyan hesitated for a moment, and a hint of determination appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Feng Zu, I understand."
"I will go to Tianyan Volcano right now to apologize to Emperor Ye!" During this period of time, the Great Qi Dynasty experienced unprecedented lows and hardships, and at one point it almost suffered the demise of the country and the extinction of the race.
Later, under the influence of ASEAN, it gradually rebounded and has now stabilized again.
However, everything that happened during this period made Qu Qingyan reflect deeply and figure out what happened.
It was indeed my own mistake to withhold the Ye family's funds and try to steal the Xuanyuan Sword.
The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden.
Anyone who is treated like this would feel uncomfortable.
Qu Qingyan didn't feel regretful just because of Ye Qing's current strength and status.
Instead, he felt regret for what he had done in the past.
So, she decided to find Ye Qing in person and apologize to him in person.
And do his best to seek Ye Qing's forgiveness.
……
Immediately, Qu Qingyan rode the Xuanniao mount and rushed to the Tianyan Volcano as fast as possible.
When she arrived at Tianyan Volcano, she saw Ye Qing and Fire Phoenix King drinking on the top of the mountain from afar.
But it did not fly directly to the top of the mountain, but landed at the foot of the mountain.
To express my sincerity, I climbed to the top of the mountain step by step.
After walking for more than an hour, Qu Qingyan finally arrived at the top of Tianyan Volcano.
She was so tired that sweat was dripping down her pretty face, her hair was sticking to her forehead, and her delicate face was flushed, which made people feel extremely pity for her.
When she came in front of Ye Qing and Fire Phoenix King, Qu Qingyan knelt on the ground without any hesitation.
"Ye Huang, Qingyan knows she was wrong."
"What happened back then was all Qingyan's fault. I was confused for a moment and did those stupid things."
"I shouldn't have withheld the Ye family's expenses, shouldn't have framed the daughter of Emperor Ye, and shouldn't have allowed the Ye family, who were loyal and meritorious to the Great Qi, to be treated like this."
"Now, Qingyan does not expect Emperor Ye to return to the Great Qi Dynasty, nor does she expect Emperor Ye's grace and reward."
"I only hope that Emperor Ye can forgive Qingyan and resolve the knot in my heart."
After saying that, Qu Qingyan bowed her head and kowtowed deeply to Ye Qing.
Looking at Qu Qingyan's pious look, the Fire Phoenix King couldn't help but look surprised.
"I didn't expect that the usually unruly Empress would actually have such a side. Haha, but if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Now I have suffered such bitter consequences."
"Ye Huang, look..."
However, Ye Qing didn't even look at Qu Qingyan, and smiled faintly, "What's wrong?"
"Brother, keep drinking."
"okay."
The Fire Phoenix King nodded, and immediately stopped looking at Qu Qingyan, clinking glasses with Ye Qing and drinking.
Seeing that Ye Qing ignored her, Qu Qingyan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Ye Qing’s attitude couldn’t be clearer.
Because you don't deserve it.
Ye Qing and the Fire Phoenix King toasted each other while Qu Qingyan just knelt in front of him, not moving at all.
They drank until the evening, when Ye Qing stood up, dusted off the dust on his body, and said with a faint smile, "Brother, I will go back first."
"Next time I have time, I will bring you some fairy wine to taste."
"Okay, take care, big brother."
After saying that, Ye Qing teleported away without even looking at Qu Qingyan from beginning to end.
The Fire Phoenix King turned his head and glanced at Qu Qingyan, feeling somewhat reluctant, and sighed, "Go back." (End of this chapter)
