Chapter 151: Source World 3 (part 1 of 4)
The Little Phoenix didn’t know the reason why the tingling pain was relieved, but the whole body was clearly feeling much better than before, that it was even able to separate some consciousness from the pain to speak. The words contained a trace of unease hidden in it’s anticipation: “……An Ying, after breaking out from the shell, will I become a Phoenix as you said?”
That trace of unease further deepened An Ying’s distress.
Because the other originally didn’t need to experience this kind of unease, nor need to endure this pain right now. He was born as a Phoenix blessed by heaven and set up on high, never needing to worry about anything. Had it not been for his own stupidity and selfishness in that year, the Little Phoenix would never have chosen to jump down the Yu Yuan, and would never need to go through reincarnation and rebirth.
The great Demon Emperor had many negative aspects. Such as, being arrogant, mistrustful, shameless, scheming, and so on, which were too numerous to list. Moreover, the positive aspects were relatively pitifully few to mention. Among his few positive aspect, aside from knowing how to repay the goodness done to him and being single-minded in love, is also the ability to admit his mistake.
He has enough reason to clearly recognize the wrong he has committed, and knows full well that all kinds of explanation or recompense are truly pointless. Unlike some people, who thinks up every possible means in order to find an excuse, shirk from it, or hide it, and is even more unlike those kind of people, who gives a slap first, before offering a sweet date, constantly emphasizing how much time and effort was spent onto that sweet date he compensated for.
Because the other originally didn’t need to suffer from that slap, so no matter how sweet the date he compensates, he can never preposterously put the cart before the horse.
“That’s right,” An Ying strove to suppress the bitterness in his heart, and replied: “You will become the most beautiful, unique and unmatched Little Phoenix in the Four Realms”
The man’s deep and low, as well as powerful voice, can make others believe that the words he spoke of is the truth without rhyme or reason. The Little Phoenix inexplicably felt at ease, and the painful feeling in the body seems to be no longer so frightening. It firmly persevered until the body’s restraint became lesser and lesser, and the stabbing pain had completely disappeared.
The egg eventually split open.
A crack sounded. But this slight cracking sound instantly sounded a hundred times louder in An Ying’s ears. The hand An Ying used to smear his heart blood halted. He looked at the eggshell with anxiety, and had even subconsciously held his breath. Very soon, a small piece of the shell fell off, revealing a bit of fluff.
The egg still continued to crack and break apart, until the creature inside had been completely revealed.
This is a young, fiery fledgling Phoenix.
The body is as round as the shape of the egg, without a bit of resemblance to the fully grown version of a Phoenix, but looks very similar to a newborn chick instead. Nonetheless, the tail feathers were slightly a little longer than a chick. The color of the feathers isn’t yellow like a chick as well, but warm red instead, in addition to a nestling’s tender yellow color around the beak.
That fine and soft red fluff is dazzling and vivid. The tips of the fluff seems to be dyed with dazzling gold colors. Although the magnificence and beauty of a fully grown Phoenix still couldn’t be seen on it for the time being, but that velvety round body, soft and tender beak and claws, bright limpid light golden colored pupil, makes each and every part so adorable.

The young Phoenix subconsciously made it’s first sound. Although the sound couldn’t be considered as loud, it instead sounds like a melodious dongxiao*, and like a Kunshan jade piece**, which is incomparably pleasant to the ears. With the inherent powerful deterrence in the blood, the Fu Ying Palace and even the demon cultivators of the entire Demon Realm, as well as all the birds in the entire Four Realms were physically and mentally shaken by this sound in the middle of the night.
*type of flute
**metaphor of many beautiful prominent things
At the same time as this, on the other side, in the Netherworld, Kong Ming, the master of the Netherworld, who’s in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes as well.
Those pair of dark red pupils seemed to become even deeper, in this perennial darkness room in Avici Hell. Just like two slowly pulsating clusters of Netherworld flames, guiding all living things straight down to purgatory. Kong Ming got up at once, with his gaze directed towards the distance where the cry of the Phoenix sounded from. Those deep and quiet gaze clearly became deeper, but was slowly dyed by a soft and gentle light.
It was only until this moment, could the Phoenix be considered to have really returned from rebirth.
Having just broken from the shell, the fledgling Phoenix was filled with energy and desire to explore. It also tentatively poked at the pieces of eggshell with it’s beak several times. After hearing the sound, it then poked it again a few more times in novelty. The pieces of eggshell continued to faintly glow with colorful lights. After poking, the Little Phoenix also gave it a sniff, and unexpectedly smelt a kind of tempting aroma of food.
The stomach couldn’t help but growl in hunger. It blinked it’s big round eyes, and couldn’t help but peck at the fragrant smelling eggshell.
The originally bright huge eyes immediately brightened even more.
It only felt that the eggshells were fragrant, crispy and delicious. Moreover, not only does it contain a very abundant amount of spiritual power, but it will also not hurt the tender beak due to it’s toughness. By the time An Ying returned to his senses, the Little Phoenix had already eaten all those pieces of eggshell that were right in front of it. A gentle warm feeling quickly surged from it’s stomach, making it flap it’s wings in happiness.
An Ying knows that the bird’s eggshell were edible, but had no idea whether or not the Little Phoenix would suffer from indigestion from eating too much at once. After a moment of hesitation, the gluttonous Little Phoenix had astonishingly eaten another piece at a very swift pace, and had even let out a soft belched in satisfaction.
“Tong Tong, don’t eat anymore.”
An Ying finally couldn’t help but dissuade the other, and with just a thought, the several remaining pieces of eggshell were all taken into his storage space, turning into his exclusive collection.
The great Demon Emperor’s collection finally changed from one to two. What’s more, the other most precious collection in this life of his is the Noble Phoenix god’s tail feather back then. Which has an incomparably gorgeous color and pattern, there was even an Immortal spirit power dust flowing from within, with countless bright sparkles of gold granules on the feather tip.
Seeing the delicious food instantly disappeared just like that, the Little Phoenix couldn’t help but look up, and gaze into An Ying’s eyes. The moment when their gazes met, An Ying inwardly felt an indescribable and unbearable excitement. He then reached out and gently said to the Little Phoenix: “Tong Tong, be good. Come here.”
The Little Phoenix and An Ying gazed at each other’s eyes for quite a while. It then gave a tiny ‘chirp’, flung it’s tail to ignore him, did an about face and plunged headfirst into the bedding.
— This Phoenix is tired and is going to bed.
