Chapter 1166: Whose Descendant Are You?

Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: Whose Descendant Are You?

Facing a mythical creature of legendary status, even a remnant of spiritual power was a miracle that Ning Fan had managed to sustain until now.

But the thought that he still had unfinished business filled Ning Fan with regret.

"Unfortunately, I have not yet found any trace of my parents, nor have I found a way to help You Rong recover her memory."

Thinking about this, the heart of the desperate Ning Fan once again surged with life.

No, I cannot die here!

I still need to find my parents and help You Rong regain her memory!

"Ah ah ah ah!"

Ning Fan released his spiritual power without reservation again, pushing his abilities to the limit.

However, this bit of spiritual power was insignificant in front of the Fire Phoenix.

The moment it collided, Ning Fan’s spiritual power dissipated, leaving no force to hinder it.

Hum—

The profound spiritual power landed on Ning Fan’s body, not with the previous mighty force, but rather, it enveloped him.

"What is this?"

Ning Fan, who had been prepared to fight to the death, could not help showing a look of surprise upon discovering this situation.

The spiritual power of the Fire Phoenix supported him, drawing him closer.

The contrast between them was like an elephant and an ant.

In front of the Fire Phoenix, Ning Fan appeared as insignificant as an ant.

Seeing that the Fire Phoenix did not immediately kill him, Ning Fan’s heart birthed a glimmer of hope, and he quickly said, "Senior, I have been wronged by deceitful people, which disturbed you. Please forgive me."

The eyes of the Fire Phoenix, enormous and scrutinizing, settled on Ning Fan with a measuring look.

"Fool, whose descendant are you?"

Hearing this, Ning Fan was taken aback, "I, I... I am Ning Potian’s son."

"Ning Potian?" The eyes of the Fire Phoenix cooled again, "I do not recognize this Fan Yu. It seems I was mistaken."

The overwhelming spiritual power surged again, preparing to crush Ning Fan directly.

Ning Fan’s heart skipped.

He had thought the Fire Phoenix’s question was connected to his father.

But from the Fire Phoenix’s reaction, it seemed it had no recollection of his father at all.

Not related to the father... Could it be his mother?

Ning Fan quickly added, "Senior, my mother’s surname is Long! Do you know her?"

"Long?"

Upon hearing this surname, the Fire Phoenix, which had remained unshaken, finally revealed a ripple in its emotions.

"Where is she now? Is she safe?!"

Ning Fan hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth, "Senior, I have not seen my mother for many years. She left because of certain issues after giving birth to me."

"Coming here, I was also looking to find my parents’ whereabouts. I never expected to intrude upon this place and disturb you, not realizing you knew my mother!"

Upon hearing this, complex emotions flickered in the vast eyes of the Fire Phoenix.

"So... she has been missing for many years? It seems I have been asleep too long, not even aware of the passing years..."

After a moment of silence, the Fire Phoenix dispersed its spiritual power, and a deep voice resonated again, "Fool, disperse your spiritual power; I need to verify your identity."

Ning Fan fell silent for a moment, then decided to trust the Fire Phoenix once more.

From the Fire Phoenix’s reaction, it was clear that it had an old acquaintance with his mother, likely a positive relationship.

Otherwise, there would have been no need to waste so many words with him.

He dispersed his spiritual power, exposing himself entirely to the Fire Phoenix.

"Senior, I have dispersed my spiritual power."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mighty spiritual power engaged, like a gentle giant hand probing into Ning Fan’s body.

Ning Fan felt as though he was soaked in warm water, his whole body warmed, and his heart settled.

It was clear the Fire Phoenix bore him no malice.

If it truly intended to kill him, it could have easily crushed him to dust the moment he dispersed his spiritual power.

A moment later, the gentle yet tremendous spiritual power gradually retreated from his body, returning to the Fire Phoenix.

"Unexpectedly, you really are her descendant..."

The gaze of the Fire Phoenix softened considerably, looking at Ning Fan with fondness.

Feeling the enmity from the Fire Phoenix dissipate, Ning Fan finally relaxed completely and spoke solemnly, "Senior, may I know if you and my mother were acquaintances?"

"Of course," the Fire Phoenix responded in a deep voice, "I just did not expect that after so many years, I would meet her descendant. She came here with me back then..."

As it spoke, the Fire Phoenix seemed to recall something and suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, it spoke again, "Since you are her descendant, I will forgive your transgressions and will send you away shortly."

As it spoke, the Fire Phoenix’s form began to ripple as if it would disintegrate at any moment.

"Senior, what is happening to you?" Ning Fan anxiously inquired.

"As of now, I am merely a remnant of spiritual power, awakened by you; naturally, I cannot sustain much longer," the Fire Phoenix said indifferently.
