The maidservants worked together to hurl the girl into the Abyss realm.

The moment she was left behind, the girl saw a golden light flash across the sky in the distance. In her confused and weakened state, she seemed to see the apparition of a phoenix, and then heard a phoenix cry! The cry reverberated throughout the entire Divine Realm!

Shi Xunmei had transplanted the girl’s phoenix bone into her body…

After the girl was thrown into the Abyss realm, she could no longer feel pain. She had nothing left…

All sorts of strange and hoarse voices rang in the girl’s ears. “Moyu, it’s been a long time since someone came.”

“She’s so young, and her blood smells so good! She’ll definitely be delicious!”

“Eh? She seems to have formed a… black egg?”

Next to the unconscious girl, there really was a black egg with strange patterns on it!

The demonic beasts of the Abyss realm were momentarily stunned. Then, they turned and shouted toward the dense forest in the distance, “Mother Tang Xi, come quickly. There’s a dying little girl who can lay eggs! Don’t you love eating salted eggs…”

Moments later, a muffled female voice could be heard from the dense forest, “Idiot, that’s someone from the Canglan Kingdom. Bring her to me.”

The demonic beasts of the Abyss realm brought the girl into the depths of the forest.

A pair of pale and bloodless hands examined the girl’s body and then chuckled. “It’s actually a natural phoenix bone! Didn’t the person who dug out her phoenix bone know the secret behind the phoenix bone? The true awakening process of the phoenix bone was extremely painful. If the owner of the phoenix bone wanted to become stronger, they had to dig out the bone and regrow it! Moreover, the owner of the phoenix bone is immortal. Now that she’s been exiled to the Abyss realm, her resentment will only grow stronger. Coupled with the corrosion of the demonic energy here, she will become an immortal demon! I’ll raise her. I want to see what she grows up to become!”

Half a year later. In the royal palace of the Canglan Kingdom.

Shi Xunmei angrily threw the golden egg on the ground and kicked it around!

“Why? Why hasn’t it hatched even after half a year? How much more of my blood essence does it want?” Shi Xunmei’s face was pale and she even seemed a little crazy.

“Xunmei, what are you doing?! Don’t mess with the phoenix egg!” Cao Zhihong rushed over and chased the maidservants out.

“It’s been half a year! if it doesn’t come out, and the citizens find out, they will definitely laugh at me! Do I have to hide myself forever? I’m not the phoenix divine maiden!” Shi Xunmei’s initial ecstasy had long since turned into frustration, which had resulted in the present breakdown. She had been feeding the phoenix egg with her blood essence unceasingly, for days on end. However, no matter how many medicinal herbs she consumed or bathed in, her body was getting worse as each day passed.

The more Shi Xunmei thought about it, the more she felt like breaking down.

“Brother Qingfeng has been waiting for me for half a year!”

“I’ve awakened the phoenix bone, and my future is promising. But now I can’t even hatch my own life spirit beast! What should I do about my engagement with Brother Qingfeng? What if he finds out that the phoenix divine maiden can’t even hatch her own phoenix egg?”

“Ding Qingfeng is the eldest grandson of the Ding family, one of the top ten families in the Divine Realm! Their marriage with the royal family of the Canglan Kingdom is a big deal, and he won’t dare to renege on it!”

A sinister look flashed across Cao Zhihong’s eyes. Then, she comforted her, “Besides, didn’t Ding Qingfeng already bring Cao Xinrui to Heavenly Lake Mountain to help you find the mugwort herb?”

“Really?” Shi Xunmei held her mother’s hand tightly. “That’s great! Mugwort is the best ingredient to accelerate the growth of an unhatched beast egg. This time, we can definitely do it!”

“Don’t worry! My daughter will definitely be the most outstanding woman in the entire Canglan Kingdom, and even the entire Divine Realm!”

There was a fanatical look in Cao Zhihong’s eyes.

At this moment, on Heavenly Lake Mountain.

The group traveled deeper into the mountain range in a serious and orderly manner.

Each of them had brought a variety of small spirit beasts. At the front of the group stood a gentle-looking man and a baby-faced woman.

The baby-faced woman spoke arrogantly, “Isn’t Heavenly Lake Mountain too boring?” It’s been peaceful this entire time. Where is the danger? Why is it a forbidden mountain?”

Ding Qingfeng’s face was calm, but his gentle face, which made many young women fall for him, now displayed a hint of impatience.

“If you’re bored, you can go back.”

Cao Xinrui immediately shut up. She carefully followed behind the man. “Is there really mugwort on Heavenly Lake Mountain? This place is covered by thick fog all year round, and the fog in some places is even poisonous. Only Brother Qingfeng would dare to come here.”

Ding Qingfeng ignored her and continued walking.

Cao Xinrui was unhappy, but she did not dare to say anything. After all, even the emperor and the empress had to take Ding Qingfeng’s status into consideration, much less her.

“Ding!”

The crisp sound of bell tolling suddenly rang out amidst the thick white fog.

“Who is it?” Ding Qingfeng took out his weapon and looked around vigilantly.

Moments later, a young girl in a blood-red dress appeared. She was wearing a golden mask that covered half of her beautiful face. A string of small bells was tied to her ankle, and they jingled whenever she walked. At this moment, she was reaching out to pick a purple herb.
