Chapter 57: The Phoenix's Memory

The Demon Queen held her head in her hands, seemingly in pain.

Countless images flashed in her mind.

The image of a severely injured Phoenix falling from the sky appeared in her mind.

It seemed like the Phoenix couldn't perform its nirvana.

The condition for a Phoenix to be immortal was that the soul origin must be strong enough.

However, the soul of this Phoenix was already on the verge of annihilation, and it simply couldn't be reborn.

To overcome this, she condensed a Phoenix flame and used it as her inheritance, while her weak soul burrowed into the body of a nearby little fox that died shortly after its birth.

With the help of this little fox's body, she could survive.

Nevertheless, she forgot everything, including her being a Phoenix.

This little fox, who stayed all by herself for decades, began to feel lonely in the desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

At this time, a human suddenly appeared, lying on the ground.

"You're so handsome."

Although it was her first time seeing a human, the little fox subconsciously uttered these words.

Even she wasn't sure how she could tell whether he was handsome or not.

Xiao Bai took care of this severely injured human from that day onwards.

"I'm idle anyway." the little fox told herself this in her heart.

She thought that if he didn't survive, she would be left alone in the future, living in this lonely place.

But to her surprise, the human had an amazingly strong will to live.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

It was clear that he was bound to die, but he held on and finally opened his eyes one day.

The little fox would never forget those pair of eyes.

His pair of deep, calm eyes were as if they could see through everything.

The little fox was immediately flustered by his glance and quickly found an excuse to flee.

After calming down, the little fox grabbed a fish and rejoined the human.

She was too shy to see her "companion" for the first time in decades.

And this companion also didn't let her down.

But what she didn't expect was that she failed to transform.

Though Xiao Bai had the soul of a Phoenix, the body she was in was of a little fox. Naturally, they weren't compatible with each other.

Although she could rely on illusions to make up for the defect, Xiao Bai was still looking forward to transforming.

So, she chose to leave the place she had lived for many years with Big Stone.

In fact, in her heart, she didn't want to leave.

But to transform, she felt that everything was worth it.

Big Stone had always spoiled her.

After seeing the determination in her eyes, he took her with him, and they both left the Ancient Forbidden Land.

The two went through a lot and finally got out of the desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Xiao Bai also saw the outside world for the first time.

She had seen the intimacy between men and women in the outside world.

But all this only increased her urge to transform.

Though Big Stone took her with him and looked for ways for her to transform, it was futile.

Disappointed, Xiao Bai decided to go to the rumored Seven Demon Great Empire to give it a try.

So she left a letter to Big Stone and quietly went to the nearest Seven Demon Great Empire.

However, she didn't expect a sea of blood to envelop her just after she entered the Seven Demon Great Empire.

Xiao Bai was a little confused as she believed demons wouldn't hurt fellow demons.

She was killed, and her body was gone, but the little fox's soul was left behind.

With the help of a Soul Soothing Pearl, Xiao Bai returned with difficulty to see the Big Stone for the last time.

"In the next life, don't forget about me... Big stone, I still need to find you to help me grill fish for me."

...

The promise of the past kept ringing in her ears.

But everything in front of her had long been changed.

The Demon Queen who sat on the flame throne, couldn’t hold back her tears.

She had forgotten everything.
