Chapter 603: 112, Baili Fengzhi

"Mother..."

Baili Fengzhi still remembered the feeling of seeing her mother in a dream for the first time.

She had longed for her mother for decades, a mother she hadn’t been able to meet for most of her life, who had appeared just when she was missing her the most recently.

She had been unclear about her own feelings, not understanding what exactly she felt for her mother.

The resentment from being abandoned when she was young? The longing for this only kin?

She couldn’t tell, and had thought that after meeting His Highness, it wouldn’t matter even if she could never meet her mother.

But on that day, in that dream that was as vivid as reality, when her mother hugged her and apologized in her ear, she found herself more excited than she had imagined, and she valued her mother more than she had expected.

Is this a dream... or reality?

She didn’t know, but the emotions buried deep in her heart, like being completely drawn out by an invisible force, made her completely lose control of her reason.

"Fengzhi, you’ve really grown up..."

"I’m sorry, letting you be alone all these years... it’s all my fault..."

"Fengzhi, come with mother to the Demon Clan... in Great Yong, there is no future..."

"The Seventeenth Prince? Do you really want to follow him? Can’t you let go of him?"

"Let’s part, not because I intend to separate you two, but because I don’t want to see you get involved in his destiny. He is trouble, you should... give up."

"Alright... child, I can tell you... he is unpredictable, the Crown Prince’s sure target. Even though he is a Prince of Great Yong, there can’t be a good ending for him if you stay with him in Great Yong after all..."

"You want to take him away? The Seventeenth Prince is calculating, he won’t trust you..."

She didn’t know what she was thinking, nor did she understand why she trusted her mother so much, but her mother was her only family after all.

The feelings that inexplicably surged from her heart forced her to believe.

Moreover, she had verified it. His Highness indeed was someone with unpredictable fate. She naturally wanted to do everything possible to save His Highness, it’s just...

...

Baili Fengzhi stood there in a daze, looking at the sealed Lin Yue, her mind somewhat in a haze.

Just now, when His Highness struck her with a palm, it was like a cold stream poured into her mind, making her suddenly feel much calmer.

But... she still had some unresolved conflicts in her heart.

"Duanmu Yan."

The Divine Lady Yan Yue looked at Duanmu Yan and said in a flat voice, "According to the agreement, since my daughter and I have succeeded, the Seventeenth Prince can be handed over to you, but you must fulfill your promise."

"Of course." Duanmu Yan glanced at Baili Fengzhi, "It’s good for a half-demon of such talent to become a true member of the Demon Clan."

He flipped his hand and took out a crystal lamp of lustrous glass quality. Within the lamp, a drop of fiery red Source Blood could be seen.

"This is..."

Upon seeing this, the Divine Lady Yan Yue’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"This is the Phoenix Demon Ancestor’s Source Blood." Duanmu Yan said, "Currently, the Phoenix Demon Ancestor is also in slumber. Only the Heavenly Demon Ancestor could extract a drop of Source Blood from her. Without this pressing matter, even if the Fire Phoenix Clan’s Nirvana Demon God personally requested it, it would be of no use."

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes at this scene.

Undoubtedly, that was also a drop of Ancestor Blood, only that this drop came from the Phoenix Demon Ancestor while the one he got was from the Heavenly Demon Ancestor.

"However, this drop of the Phoenix Demon Ancestor’s Source Blood is also invaluable."

Duanmu Yan turned to the Divine Lady Yan Yue and said, "Before handing it over to you, you must first confirm that your daughter is truly qualified to receive the Phoenix Demon Ancestor’s Source Blood."

The Divine Lady Yan Yue slightly nodded, turned her head towards Baili Fengzhi, and said, "Fengzhi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you know that the Bloodline you integrate after becoming a member of the Demon Clan will also enhance your talents? If you can obtain the Phoenix Demon Ancestor’s Bloodline, with your talents, there’s a chance in the future to prove yourself as a Demon God and become the new Clan Leader of the Fire Phoenix Clan!"

Baili Fengzhi looked at her mother somewhat bewilderingly and muttered, "Demon God?"

"That is a being like the founders of the Three Religions, transcending heaven and earth."

The Divine Lady Yan Yue sighed, "Your grandfather was the Clan Leader of the Fire Phoenix Clan, the Nirvana Demon God. He was seriously injured decades ago and had to undergo reincarnation. We don’t know when he can return. Your father also attempted to prove himself in past years, but unfortunately, he failed the tribulation. Now, with your father’s grievous wounds not yet healed, there’s no more hope for him to prove himself..."

She watched Baili Fengzhi and said, "Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix Clan still has such a talented person like you. If you could integrate the Phoenix Demon Ancestor’s Source Blood, coupled with the Fire Phoenix Clan’s inheritance, there’s a chance for you to become a Demon God in the future."

Baili Fengzhi was silent.

For some reason, even though she firmly believed that her mother wanted the best for her, after calming down, she always felt there was something strange...

"Mother... do you want me to become a pillar of the Fire Phoenix Clan?" Baili Fengzhi asked somberly.

"That is a clear path to becoming a Demon God."

The Divine Lady Yan Yue said softly, "However, before that, we must first confirm whether you are suitable for the Fire Phoenix Clan’s inheritance."

Baili Fengzhi couldn’t help but glance at Lin Yue, who was sealed within the Treasure Mirror beside her, now unable to transmit his voice.

She was even more powerless to save him.

"If you have the potential to become a Demon God, you’ll have sufficient status," the Divine Lady Yan Yue said. "In the future, if you go with him to the Demon Clan, you will have the chance to help him."

"...I understand."

Baili Fengzhi slowly nodded.

The Divine Lady Yan Yue took out a dark red Crystal Stone and said, "This treasure is the Semi-Divine Artifact ’Seven-colored Fire’, modeled after the Fire Phoenix Clan’s Inheritance Divine Artifact ’Nine-colored Fire’, fabricated by the Nirvana Demon God."

She passed the Semi-Divine Artifact to Baili Fengzhi and said, "Try binding it, the more knowledge and talent you have with flames, the more types of flames you will be able to harness. If you can control seven types of flame, you qualify to become the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan."
