Chapter 193: Return my life to you!
The Vermilion Bird was shocked. What happened just now, that fear that it had felt, this was the first time that it had felt fear in its three hundred million years of life!

Wait! I can actually……see the stats of the Sacred Beast, the Vermilion Bird.
Level 0!? Why was it level 0?
Moreover, it had such terrifying stats at level 0. If it was at its normal level 100 state, wouldn’t its HP be several hundred millions!!!
Feng Xiao was filled with shock as he read the following description.
Fifty thousand years ago, the Vermilion Bird roosted in this place because of an unknown reason. Because it kept releasing its powerful elemental flame energy, the surrounding area gradually changed into the Death Volcano. After fifty thousand years of losing flame energy, its ability has fallen to its lowest state.
Fifty thousand years……It used fifty thousand years of flame energy? Its abilities were at its lowest?
Just what was going on?
Moreover, why is it fifty thousand years!
Ying……
There was a weak bird cry that came from the white flames below that interrupted Feng Xiao’s thoughts. At the same time, he felt a tremble coming from the small hand he was holding.
“Yao’er, what is it?” Feng Xiao quickly asked.
“I don’t know……Big brother, this voice……it makes me feel so sad, so sad……” Feng Yao’s left hand was tightly holding her chest. It was as if there was something blocking that place that made her want to cry.
The pain in her soul was something that she would only feel when Feng Xiao was injured.
The Vermilion Bird’s body stopped and its red body charged into the white flames.
Feng Xiao was surprised. He had been thinking about how to fight the Vermilion Bird, but he never thought that it wouldn’t make it hard for them, even leaving without saying a single thing.
Ying……
The bird cry rang out again and it was clearer than before. Although it was still weak, Feng Xiao could feel the anxiety and mourning that came from it.
Feng Yao’s heart beat even faster and her expression filled with more sadness.
The core of the Death Volcano, other than the Vermilion Bird, what else was hidden here? Feng Xiao’s heart also started beating faster.
Ying……
This cry was clearer and sadder. Suddenly, there was a golden figure that came out of the white flames and wanted to charge up, but since it was too small and weak, it failed. Its body fell back into the flames, but it tried to fly up again……
The Vermilion Bird spread its fiery red wings and gave a sharp cry, as if it wanted to stop its struggle. But what surprised it was that this weak golden figure never stopped trying to fly up again and again while letting out sorrowful cries.
At that moment, Feng Yao’s face was suddenly filled with tears. The sorrowful cries seemed to be talking about a sad matter that filled her heart with pain.
“Big brother, let’s go down, alright? I want to see it……I want to see it……”
The crying voice made Feng Xiao’s heart tremble. Seeing her face covered in tears, his heart was filled with pain.
“Xiao Bai, go down. Don’t touch the flames.”
Seeing the white figure coming down, the Vermilion Bird gave an angry cry. It spread its giant wings and wanted to send out the Nine Heavenly Flames…..
But the Vermilion Bird’s wings suddenly stopped……
Sensing that she was approaching, the golden figure used all of its strength. It turned into a golden light as it charged out of the white flames, flying in Feng Yao’s direction.
Feng Yao tightly held this golden figure. Suddenly there was a bloodline connection feeling that came from her hand that made her unable to stop herself from hugging it tighter.
The golden figure had used all of its strength and its cries became weaker. Only the sadness from before had turned into joy and warmth.
Feng Xiao finally saw what it looked like and was stunned. Because this was a figure that all Chinese people were familiar with. This was clearly a……little phoenix!
It was only a meter long and it was a little phoenix that was completely golden!
“It turns out that you were the one that it was waiting for.”
A mature and gentle voice rang out. The Vermilion Bird slowly became smaller until it took the form of a human.
With fiery red hair, fiery red eyes, fiery red armour, a burning figure, and a mature charming face. Although it took human form, its body was still surrounded by a layer of flames.
“No wonder……No wonder you aren’t afraid of the flames here.” Looking at Feng Yao, the Vermilion Bird muttered this as it revealed a gentle look.
Feng Xiao opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say. It wasn’t as if he could say “I need your Soul Flame”, right?
This kind of gentle beauty, how could he say this?
Moreover, he still hadn’t awakened from the shock of Feng Yao and the golden phoenix. There were countless questions that filled his heart.
“My life was given by you, so now that you’ve found a place to return home, I should give it back to you.” The Vermilion Bird revealed a smile. She happily looked at the little phoenix before slowly floating up.
“Give your life……to her?”
What did that mean!
“Yao’er, what is with this little phoenix? Why does it recognize you…..Why do you……” Feng Xiao tightly held her hand as he asked this biggest question bothering him.
“I don’t know why, I really don’t……” Feng Yao shook her head. From beginning to end, she had only acted on instinct and she didn’t know what was happening here.
“I just want to keep it by my side. My heart is telling me that if I don’t do this, I will regret this for the rest of my life……It’s like losing something important. No! I can feel that it’s a part of my body!” Feng Yao held his hand as she held the little phoenix in her other hand. Her eyes looked at him as she said these strange words.
“The human named Wind Spirit, please leave immediately. If you stay in the Soul Flames, you will be turned to ashes.”
The Vermilion Bird finished saying this and flames appeared around it……Colourless flames that kept increasing the temperature. With each increase, her face became a bit more pale.
“What! Soul Flames?”
“Vermilion Bird, do you not want to live?” Feng Xiao yelled out. His goal had been the Soul Flames, but he definitely couldn’t just obtain it without knowing what was going on.
Everything had a reason!
“My life should have already dissipated, this is what I owed her. Moreover, my life force is already drying up and even if I don’t offer my soul, I will disappear from this world in ten thousand years. Human, please leave!” Even though she was a bit surprised the other side knew about the Soul Flames, the Vermilion Bird patiently gave him an explanation.
Owe her?
Life force less than ten thousand years?
Feng Xiao no longer said anything as he pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword.
Qilin blood, Radiant Sacred Dragon’s Tear, Soul Flame……
Was everything as destined? Why did everything go so smoothly, so coincidentally, so hard to believe.
The golden glow made the Vermilion Bird narrow her eyes before saying in a gentle voice, “It’s actually the Xuanyuan Sword. Legends saw that the Xuanyuan Sword’s might was sealed by seven powerful seals and to open the fourth seal, it requires my Soul Flames…..It seems like my death is not in vain……Human, the baptism of the Soul Flames is not something that you can endure. Although it can open the Xuanyuan Sword’s seal, you will be turned to ashes. Will you still insist on staying like this?”
Feng Xiao nodded without hesitation. The Xuanyuan Sword was linked to him and if he left, the Xuanyuan Sword would leave with him. So he had to stay here and hold the Xuanyuan Sword while accepting this baptism.
Feng Yao didn’t know what was happening, but hearing that he would “scatter to ashes”, she wanted to say something. However, she backed down after seeing his firm look.
“Don’t worry, Yao’er. I can just level again if I lose a level. But I only have one chance for my Xuanyuan Sword!”
Yao’er no longer said anything.
“Vermilion Bird, although I don’t know why, for you to use your life to give my Xuanyuan Sword this chance, I really don’t know how to……thank you.”
The Vermilion Bird revealed a faint smile, “My Soul Flame must be burnt, it’s just helping you out of convenience.”
Feng Xiao gave a grateful nod before turning to Feng Yao, “Yao’er, leave the little phoenix here and return to the city first. I will immediately follow you.”
“But, but if I let go, big brother will……”
“Don’t worry, I have the three second invincibility period of the ‘Xuanyuan Flames’, it’s enough!”
“No! She can’t leave! Moreover, you’re worried too much. She is the person who fears the Soul Flames the least in this world!” The Vermilion Bird’s voice came from in front of them. Her face had already turned snow white and her body was already surrounded in colourless flames.
“My soul has been completely burnt……My life is ending with this. Prepare to accept the baptism of the Primordial Flames.” The Vermilion Bird’s voice became so soft that it was hard to hear and her body was slowly becoming transparent.
“Big brother Feng, there’s no need to worry about big sister Feng. Quickly call back Xiao Bai and take off your equipment or else they will all be turned to ashes.”
Xuanyuan Wan’er’s anxious voice rang out. Feng Xiao was shocked as he quickly took back Xiao Bai and all his equipment.
“Yao’er, quickly put away all your important equipment.”
Feng Yao never hesitated when he said anything. She quickly took back her white dress and revealed the level 0 beginner equipment beneath. She didn’t have contact with monsters, so equipment wasn’t that important for her. So she had always worn the most simple beginner equipment.
