279 Saving the Phoenix
The imperial preceptor’s heart ached when he saw this, and he could not even see the future.
The fire on the phoenix’s body slowly died down and the ball of fire actually fell straight to the ground. It was as if no one had expected such a scene and they all cried out in surprise. Even the Imperial tutor’s expression changed, his face paled as he tried to stand up, “Not good, nirvana failed!” He hurriedly rushed up and saw that the ball of fire was getting smaller and smaller. The phoenix’s entire body was wailing in pain and it was almost impossible to see its figure.
The nirvana of the phoenix was very risky. Those who could survive it would become true divine birds and their names would be remembered for thousands of years. A phoenix was born to save the world. The saintess relied on the phoenix to become the revered saintess. It was because of her that the emperor was able to stabilize his throne. There were only a few phoenixes in the world that could rise from the ashes. The previous generations of saintesses were mostly fake. Otherwise, how could they convince the masses? Could it be that if she did not become the saintess, the emperor would not succeed the throne? Even though the imperial preceptor had read all the books in the world, he had never seen a real phoenix rising from the ashes.
The cries of the phoenix could no longer be heard. The people below shed tears. “The phoenix is going to die. It’s going to be burned to death.”
The child cried, feeling pity for phoenix. The imperial preceptor’s heart was heavy. He could do nothing but watch the phoenix burn in the sky.
!!
Jiang Xi took a look and saw that the ball of fire was getting smaller and smaller. She could even see a claw, but the phoenix still could not rush out of the fire. The phoenix’s voice was getting weaker and weaker.
Jiang Xi’s heart sank. She immediately stepped forward and shouted, “Come down!”
The ball of fire fell and stopped in front of Jiang Xi. It kept rolling. The scorching heat showed the suffering that the phoenix had suffered. It had to break through this fire in order to be reborn! Jiang Xi made up her mind and reached out to grab the ball of fire with her small white hand!
“Boss!” Zheng Shan’er suddenly stood up straight and her face changed slightly.
Before the crowd could react, Jiang Xi’s small hands passed through the burning flames and grabbed phoenix’s foot tightly.
In an instant, Jiang Xi’s small face was wrinkly and pale, as if she was in great pain. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat and his body trembled.
“This is the real princess! This was the real princess! For the sake of our country, the princess risked her life to save the phoenix. That’s our princess!”
“The princess is enduring the fire for our country, Princess! Princess!”
“Princess! Princess!” Deafening shouts could be heard. Seeing Jiang Xi sweating profusely and in pain, the people could not bear it. They saw Jiang Xi’s legs trembling and some of them even wiped their tears. Even the emperor could not help but sigh in his heart. The princess was indeed more ruthless than him for the sake of the country. To hand the country over to such a person, she should… be okay, right?
“The princess’ hand is still holding phoenix’s claw. Look, princess’ hand is still shaking and turning. I’m afraid it’s very painful.” Everyone saw Jiang Xi’s hands turning around. He was probably in so much pain that he wanted to escape from the fire, but he was unwilling to give up on the phoenix.
However, Zheng Shan’er and Song Yun were frowning.
“Do you feel that something is wrong?” Song Yun asked Zheng Shan’er in a low voice as she watched Jiang Xi’s technique. That skilled technique was exactly the same as the one selling lamb skewers on the street. After roasting the back, she roasted the front, after roasting the calves, she roasted the chest, and after that, he even shook off the excess oil… Her other hand even stretched back reflexively, making Jiang Shan confused.
Zheng Shan’er and Song Yun looked at each other.
“Boss, did you get cumin too easily?” In the past, when Jiang Xi roasted meat, Song Yun would always stand behind her with bottles and bottles of seasonings and hand them to her at any time.
The commoners below were still crazily calling out for the princess. They were even more respectful and crazier than when the emperor came in person.
The emperor was speechless. Anyway, he was just looking after the house.
“Princess, you’ve worked hard. The princess…”
“Princess, you’ve suffered.” An old man covered his face and cried. For the future of their country and to keep the Phoenix, the princess was willing to give up her life.
After a while, Jiang Xi felt that it was about time, so she pulled the phoenix’s claws out. With one movement, he pulled out one of the phoenix’s legs. What was even more bizarre was that the claw was not burned at all. The flesh was still tender.
“Wow!” The imperial preceptor could not help but shout. After so many years of legacy, this was the first time he had seen such amazing actions.
