1222 Primordial Phoenix
“Tian Yi… So, what do you plan on doing now that you have my attention?” Dragon Goddess Yeyou asked him.
An awkward smile appeared on Tian Yi’s face as he responded, “To tell you the truth, I don’t have a plan. In fact, I hadn’t planned past meeting you, as I didn’t expect to find you so quickly in this vast universe— it must be the work of fate. But I’m sure we’ll figure it out.”
“Unbelievable… You really came to me without a plan? What if I did not save you and left you to die instead?”
“Then that would be that. After all, I had prepared on losing my life before meeting you. But that didn’t happen, and with you by my side now, I doubt anything could threaten my life.”
Dragon Goddess Yeyou frowned, “Why are you assuming that I will be following you?”
“You won’t? Well, that’s fine as well, since you will definitely be watching over me at the very least.” Tian Yi chuckled.
“…” Dragon Goddess Yeyou was speechless.
“By the way, Dragon God— Goddess, what is your name? Do you even have one?”
“Of course, I have a name. Why did you assume otherwise?”
“Nobody I talked to knew it and only addressed you as the Dragon God even though they were aware of your existence, so I wondered if you had a name or not.”
“Yeyou— that is my name.”
“And how do you want me to address you from now on? Goddess Yeyou? Dragon Yeyou? Dragon Goddess Yeyou? Lady Yeyou?”
“Until you can defeat me, I forbid you from using my name.”
Dragon Goddess Yeyou’s reason for making this rule was so that she had an excuse to fight him again.
“Is that how things work for you guys? Then I will call you Dragon Goddess until then.” Tian Yi calmly smiled.
She calmly nodded.
“Anyways, while I don’t have a plan, I do know who I want to visit next.” Tian Yi then said.
“A Divine Beast?” Dragon Goddess Yeyou asked.
He nodded, “An Ancient Beast just like you. One known as Empress of Flames and Goddess of Rebirth— Primordial Phoenix.”
Dragon Goddess Yeyou suddenly sucked her teeth in an annoyed matter.
Tian Yi looked at her with raised eyebrows and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing worth mentioning, but if you’re going to see that dumb pigeon, I won’t accompany you to see her.”
“Dumb pigeon? I guess even Divine Beasts have their own drama.” Tian Yi couldn’t help but crack a smile upon learning this information.
“Don’t go making your own assumptions. I wouldn’t stoop so low to have drama with a stupid chicken. She’s not worth it.”
Tian Yi pondered for a moment before speaking, “I have heard that dragons and phoenixes naturally don’t get along. There seems to be some truth to this rumor. Is there a reason why you don’t like the Primordial Phoenix?”
“Phoenexies are born arrogant, and the Primordial Phoenix is the most arrogant of them all. I simply can’t stand being around her.” Dragon Goddess Yeyou said.
Tian Yi looked at her with a weird expression.
Dragon Goddess Yeyou frowned at this and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Well, in the eyes of humans, dragons are also arrogant creatures.”
“How rude! We’re prideful! Not arrogant! There’s a difference!” Dragon Goddess Yeyou rebuked.
But she did not stop there, “Meanwhile, phoenixes are obviously arrogant. They have no pride, are shameless, selfish, and…”
After spending several minutes complaining about phoenixes and comparing them with dragons, Dragon Goddess Yeyou finally ended it with, “Do you now understand why phoenixes and dragons don’t get along?”
“Yes… I think I do…” Tian Yi said with a slight smile.
“Do you still want to meet her?” Dragon Goddess Yeyou then asked.
“Of course. Regardless of her personality, even if it’s the nastiest in the world, I still want to speak with her, just like how I came to speak with you even at the risk of my own life.”
“You’re a weird human…”
Once their conversation ended, Tian Yi left the scene to find the Primordial Phoenix.
Fortunately for him, the Primordial Phoenix wasn’t as hard to find compared to Dragon Goddess Yeyou, as she had a larger presence with the world while Dragon Goddess Yeyou barely interacted with the world.
As for Dragon Goddess Yeyou, although she claimed that she wouldn’t follow Tian Yi to meet with the Primordial Phoenix, she still tagged along in the end, acting as though she never said such a thing.
Tian Yi didn’t question it either. Thus, the two of them traveled the world for several years in search of the Primordial Phoenix, following traces left behind by her.
After a decade of following the Primordial Phoenix’s footsteps, Tian Yi finally located her.
“Is this how you found me?” Dragon Goddess Yeyou asked him as they made their way to the Primordial Phoenix’s location.
“Yes, but much fewer people knew of your existence compared to the Primordial Phoenix, who is much more active than you. Not only does she have connections with humans, she’s even got a business in the human world, much to my surprise. Her existence is the closest representation of my ambitions right now.”
“If that’s the case, why did you seek me out first? Wouldn’t it benefit your ambitions more if you had gone to the Primordial Phoenix first?” Dragon Goddess Yeyou looked at him with a puzzled expression on her ethereal face.
“That’s simple. I came to you first because my desire to meet you was stronger than my desire to see her.” Tian Yi responded with a handsome smile on his face.
“…”
His response left Dragon Goddess Yeyou speechless.
Several more months passed as Tian Yi and Dragon Goddess Yeyou left the world known as ‘Divine Heaven’ and traversed into the starry sky to find the Primordial Phoenix.
“That must be the Primordial Phoenix, also known as Feng Yuming…” Tian Yi mumbled in a low voice as he could see a small ball of flames in the distance.
Although the Primordial Phoenix looked tiny from his position, they were actually millions of miles apart, so it was akin to looking at a star from Earth.
Tian Yi turned to look at Dragon Goddess Yeyou and asked her, “Should I meet her alone?”
“No, I will come with you. I want to see if she’s gotten any dumber since our last meeting.” Dragon Goddess Yeyou said.
Tian Yi could only smile at her remarks.
Then, they chased after her, catching up within minutes.
