Chapter 62 - Stubborn

"CHIRP!!!!" Feng Mian flopped down and flayed around on the floor.

'I can't let you do that. That beast is ruthless. He will not stay back until he sees red. What will he do to you when you get in between his lovey-dovey time with his mate!!! I can't allow it!! No! No!!!!!!'

The Mer understood all of his ranting. She stifled a laugher and whispered, "I think it's wise for you to reunite with your friend after the child is born. I heard the roc proposed to your clan that if Hachin did not want to be with him after childbirth he was free to leave."

"I can't delay this any further. He is pregnant and does not even know of it. And if my dear friend is going through pain, I want to be next to him helping and assisting him. Sorry, but I can't take your advice for this," Qu Wren swiftly packed his bags.

Feng Mian clung to his hands, chirping loudly.

Wren gently caressed its head. "It's going to be fine. How bad can it be?"

The little phoenix cried in his hands. 'Don't go there. He will kill you if he finds out you are my mate!! I can't allow that!!!!!' he secretly glanced at the Mer and nodded towards Wren.

The Mer cleared her throat once more. "You can't do that,"

"why can't I?" Wren challengingly looked at her.

"Do you know what you have in your blood?" the Mer scooted close and held his wrist suddenly. the little bird swatted it away.

"Your veins have something that the roc will kill you for?" she said, pouting a little at the bird.

Wren, on the other hand, frowned deeply. "And what is that?"

She secretly glanced at Feng Mian for approval.

He nodded his bald head subtly.

"The spiritual blood of the phoenix." The Mer paused, letting her word sink in.

"chirp," Feng Mian chirped loudly, glancing at her. 'Lie if you have to Mer. Make sure he does not go there.'

The Mer quietly nodded at him.

Qu Wren just blankly gazed at her. "So?"

"That is equal to liquid fire. The roc is a cold-blooded bird and the child that will be born will also be cold-blooded. If a heated thing such as yourself gets close, the child might suffer repercussion. I believe the roc will not accept your offer."

"I'll see to that of its true or not," Wren stubbornly packed all his belongings.

"chip....." Feng Mian glanced at the Mer to continue. 'Can you say anything more... just don't let him go there...'

But the Mer gave him a helpless look and shook her head

'I guess I would have to take actions under my own hand....' Feng Mian jumped onto his lap and chirped.

"Are you hungry?" Wren gently caressed his chin.

'No, but.....' seeing Wren's dejected face, he bit down the complaints he had. 'Fine, but I will go with you.... if that roc tries anything I will kill him,' he swiftly jumped into his shirt.

Qu Wren smiled, softly caressing the lump in his shirt. "Don't worry, everything will work out well,"

He stood up and patted the dust off his pants. "Thank you so much for all your help, Han Su, and family" he bowed to them.

"sir! We are indebted to you. Please don't bow to us," he pulled him up into a warm hug. "I hope you find your friend and help him with his safe delivery,"

"I will..." Wren got down and hugged Moroko as well. "Saving you was the best thing I have ever done,"

"Meeting you was the best," the little kid sobbed silently gripping onto his sleeves. "Mister Wren I swear... I swear that after I grow up, I will come find you. I will win your heart over, so don't give in to that red-haired man. I will grow up to be beautiful too..." he mumbled, wiping his tears away.

"CHIRP!!!" Feng Mian poked his head out.

'Runt say what now. How dare you even think of stealing what's mine? Not even in thousand years will I allow that,' he jumped at him angrily, but the little kid caught him in his open palm.

Moroko gently cupped him gently and kissed his small bald forehead. "I will miss you too, birdie. Take good care of mister Wren." He secretly pulled Feng Mian close. "And keep that man away. We are friends, right?"

For his request, all he got was a kick to his face as an answer.

Feng Mian jumped out of his palm and into Wren's open hands.

'You better count your years, child. You get to live after kissing my forehead. You are lucky you are still alive after trying to court my person. I guess your life line is very strong,' he wiped his forehead with his meaty wings.

Even Qu Wren helped him wipe at that spot with a small frown. 

"We shall get going then.... and one other thing," he glanced back at the Mer. "if you try to hurt Hachin or his child you will have to face my wrath. Trust me, it will not be pretty,"

The Mer just scoffed. "Why would I even care?"

Qu Wren glared at her once more. He took out a heavy golden pouch. There was gold and silver inside. "I took that from that annoying pig's house. Make use of it. Han Su, keep your family safe."

He also gave away the only piece of blood jade root to him. "Help her out too. I don't like women shedding tears,"

Wren glanced at the flabbergasted Mer and walked away.
