Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Xiaohuo’s Background_1

"This is the best pharmacist in Feier City. I think Mr. Baili needs a pharmacist to look at him right now," the butler said to Xiaohuo.

Xiaohuo let the butler and the pharmacist in to examine Dugu Qianye’s injuries.

"Her entire skeleton and meridians are shattered, and her chest cavity is severely deformed. Normally, she would definitely be disabled. However, it seems her body has something that is healing her injuries, and she has also taken the Sacred Rhinoceros Pill. Now, we can only see what fate has in store for her," the pharmacist said.

Xiaohuo knew that it was Brother Dandan and her Phoenix Golden Flame that were healing Dugu Qianye’s body.

As the butler was leaving, he said, "City Lord mentioned that Mr. Baili should stay here and focus on healing first."

As he opened the door to send off the butler, Xiaohuo glared at the Blue Phoenix outside. Feeling guilty, Blue Phoenix lowered her head. She had heard everything the pharmacist had said.

Inside Dugu Qianye’s body, the Phoenix Golden Flame scorched the damaged areas, followed by Dandan releasing the Chaos Qi to encompass and gradually heal the areas.

Two days later, Dugu Qianye finally opened her eyes.

"Sister, you’re awake!" Xiaohuo excitedly pounced on her.

"Uh, Xiaohuo, if you push any harder, my chest cavity is going to be deformed again," Dugu Qianye joked.

"Ah? How is it, how is it, let me check quickly," Xiaohuo hurriedly started to peel back her clothes.

"I was just joking!" Dugu Qianye said with a laugh.

"Wuu, you scared me to death, wuu..." Hearing Dugu Qianye’s words and thinking about her motionless state over the past two days, Xiaohuo started crying.

Seeing Xiaohuo cry, Dugu Qianye wanted to comfort her but found herself without any strength. She could only say, "Xiaohuo, sister was wrong, there, don’t cry."

Xiaoyin, mimicking a small dog, jumped onto Dugu Qianye’s bedside, rubbing her face with his head, and said, "Master, you really scared us this time, especially Xiaohuo; she has been almost constantly in tears these two days."

"Uh. I’m sorry for worrying you," Dugu Qianye apologized. "I hadn’t expected to encounter a Super Divine Beast. By the way, what happened in the end that day?"

"Hmph, just a mere Blue Phoenix, what else could have happened?" Xiaohuo said sulkily.

Xiaoyin detailed to Dugu Qianye what had happened after Xiaohuo arrived that day. After listening, Dugu Qianye said, "If what she says is true, she must know about Xiaohuo’s origins. There’s no Phoenix existence on the Xuanyue Continent, which makes their presence quite mysterious."

Thinking it over, Dugu Qianye called out Qingluan, who had always been guarding Xiaohuo and might know something. With a thought, Qingluan and Liehuo appeared in the room.

"Master, how are you feeling?" Qingluan and Liehuo asked as soon as they appeared.

"I am much better now," Dugu Qianye replied with a comforting smile. "Qingluan, you have always been guarding Xiaohuo; do you know why you appeared in this vast world?"

"I’m not sure either. Ever since I was conscious, we have always been guarding Xiaohuo’s egg. Other than protecting the egg, my mother never told me anything else," Qingluan recalled.

"It seems we need to ask that Blue Phoenix outside," Dugu Qianye said.

Seeing Dugu Qianye looking at her, Xiaohuo hummed displeasedly, went to open the door, and said to the Blue Phoenix, "Come in."

After waiting for two days, the Blue Phoenix finally stepped into Dugu Qianye’s room.

Dugu Qianye watched the incoming Blue Phoenix, dressed in blue as bright as her feathers, looking in her twenties, with a delicate figure and a beautiful but pale face. This was probably caused by the soul injury inflicted by Xiaohuo.

Dugu Qianye looked at Blue Phoenix, not knowing what to say for a moment. She was the cause of her own injuries, but there were justifiable reasons for it. Xiaohuo came back to sit at the edge of the bed, glared at Blue Phoenix, and the subtle intimidation made the already self-reproaching Blue Phoenix tremble.

"I’m sorry, that day I didn’t know you were the master of Xiaohuo and I hurt you, please forgive me!" Blue Phoenix bowed her head and said.

"You referred to Xiaohuo as ’Emperor,’ so you knew Xiaohuo’s identity," Dugu Qianye affirmed.

Blue Phoenix glanced at Xiaohuo, who had caught Dugu Qianye, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I knew."

"What is your name?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"Hmm?" Blue Phoenix raised her head in surprise, thinking she was being interrogated, but why ask her name? Nevertheless, she answered, "My name is Lan Mei."

"Lan Mei, why did you instigate this beast tide?" Dugu Qianye asked again.

"A few days ago, I was practicing when I suddenly felt the Emperor’s intimidation. I was at a critical moment for advancing to a Super Divine Beast, so I didn’t immediately go looking for the Emperor. I’ve been searching for the Emperor for a thousand years, and I finally got a hint of the Emperor’s presence. To my dismay, within less than half an hour, the Emperor’s aura completely disappeared. I thought the Emperor had been captured by humans, and since I couldn’t interrupt my advancement, I sent other Phantom Beasts here to buy time. You mentioned going to Mengjiao Ridge, I was worried about the Emperor’s safety, so ..." Blue Phoenix’s voice grew quieter as she spoke.

Realizing the whole story, Dugu Qianye felt depressed; it turns out her injuries were due to a misunderstanding. However, under those circumstances, she couldn’t reveal Xiaohuo’s presence.

"We found the Wanyuan Fire Seed in Mengjiao Ridge, and only Xiaohuo’s Phoenix Golden Flame could withstand the heat. Later, Xiaohuo entered the Refining Demon Pot, so you couldn’t sense her presence. When you came to Feier City, Xiaohuo was assimilating the Wanyuan Fire Seed. I guessed this beast tide was because of Xiaohuo, so I didn’t dare reveal Xiaohuo without clarifying the reasons. After all, your and Xiaohuo’s appearance on the Xuanyue Continent is quite mysterious," Dugu Qianye said.

"Wanyuan Fire Seed?!" Lan Mei whispered in shock, "The Wanyuan Fire Seed was actually in Mengjiao Ridge? I’ve lived there for hundreds of years and never expected it to be so close."

"Since this was all a misunderstanding, I don’t blame you for injuring me," Dugu Qianye said, "However, I would like to know why you came to the Xuanyue Continent?"

Hearing Dugu Qianye’s inquiry, Lan Mei fell into her memories, her expression very pained. After a long time, she looked at Qingluan and said, "You must be Qing Yuan’s descendant."

"Qing Yuan is my grandmother," Qingluan said.

"Back then, you were still an egg; I didn’t expect you to have become a Divine Beast now. Where is your mother?" Lan Mei asked.

"I don’t know. My mother and I were always guarding Xiaohuo’s egg, and one day she went out, telling me to protect Xiaohuo even at the cost of my life if necessary. She never came back after she left that day," Qingluan said.

Blue Phoenix listened and after a long silence said, "My Emperor, and you grandchild and grandmother are not from the Xuanyue Continent; we come from another realm. There, there are many types of phoenixes such as Golden Phoenix, Blue Phoenix, Snow Phoenix, and others. The Golden Phoenix is the most powerful among them, always restless, but because they have the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird, which suppresses the other phoenixes, they are recognized as our Emperor, and the Golden Phoenix dares not act rashly. However, the last Emperor was sabotaged during the nurturing process, and after she died, the supposed Emperor showed no signs of life. Seizing the chance, the Golden Phoenix claimed the Emperor’s egg was dead, that it could no longer cultivate a new Golden Phoenix, and then he became the Phoenix Clan’s Emperor and secretly sent people to steal the Emperor’s egg to destroy it completely. Our Blue Phoenix clan has always been the Emperor’s protector; my mother was the leader of the Blue Phoenix, and she knew the intentions of the Golden Phoenix, so she had me and a few guards take the Emperor’s egg and leave. At that time, I had just advanced to a Divine Beast. Qing Yuan was the leader of the Qingluan clan, and a good friend to me. That day she brought Qingluan’s mother and the unhatched Qingluan to see me, and as it happened, they left with us. Our plan was discovered by the Golden Phoenix, and their leader led many Golden Phoenixes to chase us. Except for me and Qingluan’s grandchild and grandmother, all the other guards died. Later, we escaped to a rift between realms, forced to choose a lower realm at random. Since the rift between realms is not like a fixed realm portal, it’s filled with dangers and is random. We arrived in the center of Mengjiao Ridge. Two Golden Phoenixes followed us to the Xuanyue Continent, and I, along with Qing Yuan, had Qingluan’s mother take the Emperor and Qingluan away first. I was seriously injured, and to allow them to escape, Qing Yuan burned her life flame and perished together with them. For fear of the Golden Phoenix catching up, we dared not disperse our presence, so even after searching for a long time, I couldn’t find them."
