Fantasy: The Second Miss Said She Was Ordinary

Chapter 519 Ancient Golden Phoenix

The women dispersed and returned to the ground.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the air is exceptionally fresh.

Qin Yu opened the door to her room, and the thought of Tang Heihu's honest face made her feel a sense of warmth and familiarity.

Unbeknownst to her, she walked into the inn under the cover of night.

"The little girl is already asleep."

But for some reason, she just wanted to see the little girl's sleeping face, like a perverted old woman who wanted to see her sleeping granddaughter.

"Just one look, just one look. I'm very strong, I won't wake her up."

Qin Yu tiptoed to the window of the inn, feeling a little guilty, like a thief, and tried to catch a glimpse of the girl's serene and peaceful appearance by the moonlight.

Suddenly, her eyes widened.

Where was the little girl on that huge bed?

"Oh no!" Qin Yu exclaimed, turning her head sharply to look around. The entire valley was empty, except for the crows cawing as they flew by.

"Emergency assembly, everyone! Emergency assembly!"

Qin Fu and the other women rushed out: "Clan leader, what's wrong?"

"That brat ran away!"

Qin Yu pointed angrily at the inn.

"What?" Everyone's expression changed.

Ran?

How did it get away!

This is the first one that managed to escape right under their noses!

Qin Yu was extremely anxious. If her negligence led to the destruction of the entire Phoenix Ridge, she would be a sinner for all time!

She still remembered the deal she made with the gods. The gods bestowed upon her talents to help her take revenge and ascend to immortality. In return, she would protect the Phoenix Clan for the gods and wait for their return.

She absolutely cannot break her promise!

"With me, search the entire Phoenix Ridge, dig three feet into the ground, and find her!"

"Yes!"

Qin Youyou transformed into the appearance of a Vadashi, humming a little tune as she strolled through the city shrouded in night.

Now that part of her remnant soul has returned to its place, she is far more alert and perceptive than before. Those women hiding under her room whispering amongst themselves, do they really think she's deaf?

She played with them for a while, engaging their emotions and listening to them curse and sigh. It was really cute and interesting.

But she was pressed for time and couldn't play with them for too long, so she pretended to fall asleep and then quietly slipped away.

Baldy has already informed her of the new information through the connection he has with her in his mental sea.

Feng Cheng'ao was recognized as the Beast God by the Phoenix Clan, and he himself did indeed possess some supernatural abilities—he was extremely lucky.

But this good fortune was not something it was born with; rather, it was a gift from the remnant soul of the Phoenix Ancestor.

Although the Phoenix Ancestor has perished, his lingering soul, due to its obsession, refuses to dissipate and will awaken once every three thousand years.

She loved children, so every newly hatched egg of the Phoenix Clan was offered to her remnant soul to see when she awoke.

Three thousand years ago, when Feng Cheng'ao had just hatched, he was sent to the cave of the Phoenix Ancestor. He accidentally fell into cow dung. Fearing that it would delay the time for the remnant soul of the Phoenix Ancestor to awaken, he was sent there directly without being washed.

Unexpectedly, the remnant soul of the ancestor was greatly shocked when he saw the dark-skinned Feng Cheng'ao. He immediately burned a quarter of his remnant soul to bestow the skill "Phoenix Luck" to protect Feng Cheng'ao and help him grow up safely. Then he fell into a deep sleep again.

From then on, Feng Cheng'ao became the holy son appointed by the remnant soul of the ancestor.

After hearing the story, Qin Youyou asked Baldy, "Don't you think something's off?"

Baldy: "Did the ancestor like smelly things?"

Qin Youyou: "Is it possible that the ancestor likes black?"

Baldy: "Huh?"

"Is it possible that the Phoenix Ancestor has mistaken the Phoenix for someone else?"

"The original one was..." Baldy suddenly realized something and was horrified.

Is it him?

No way?

He grew up on the subcontinent, how could that be!

But apart from him, it seems that no other black phoenix has ever been seen in the entire Phoenix Ridge.

Qin Youyou decided to make careful assumptions and boldly seek verification.

She's going to sneak into the Phoenix Cave where the Phoenix Ancestor resides at night!

Under Baldy's severe torture, it was not difficult to find out the location of Feng Cheng'ao's Phoenix Cave.

Following Tu Tu's instructions, Qin Youyou flew straight to the summit of Phoenix Ridge.

There were no guards at the entrance to the cave, but dark red phoenix fires were burning.

Qin Youyou revealed the Netherworld Star Flame, and the Phoenix Fire immediately dimmed. She easily stepped into it.

After she entered, the phoenix fire rose again.

At this moment, Qin Yu and his group had already searched the entire Phoenix Ridge at top speed.

"No abnormalities found!"

"What should we do? Should we inform City Lord Feng Jiutian?"

Suddenly, faint energy fluctuations emanated from the highest peak.

Qin Yu suddenly raised his head, looking up with his one eye: "There."

The women were all startled; Tang Heihu had actually gone to the Phoenix Cave at the highest peak!

What is she trying to do!

Does she intend to fundamentally shake the foundations of the Phoenix Clan?

What unrealistic dreams! Even if the Phoenix Ancestor is reduced to a remnant soul, she is still no match for her!

"She's courting death," Qin Yu said, frowning.

A strange sense of unease arose in my heart.

Even though it was the first time he had met Tang Heihu and he knew nothing about her, why was he worried?

"Let's go! Don't alert the city lord yet, let's see what she's up to!"

Qin Yu ignored his own biases and was eager to lead the Qin family to sneak up to the highest peak under the cover of night.

Qin Youyou walked step by step into the depths of the cave.

The cave was brightly lit with fire, and phoenix fires were burning everywhere, in clusters and clumps, burning on the rock walls and scattered along the roadside.

At the very back of the cave was a huge bird's nest, made of ancient, unburnt blue branches, and on top of it, a large, golden phantom was curled up.

Phoenix Ancestor, Primordial Golden Phoenix!

The moment Qin Youyou saw it, her heart ached inexplicably, and her mind surged as if a needle had pierced her brain.

She reached out, wanting to touch the ethereal, transparent golden feathers, but fearing to disturb the golden phoenix's peaceful slumber.

She stood there quietly for a long time, then sat down cross-legged next to the Phoenix Nest, propped her head up with her hand, and lingered on the ancient golden phoenix with a reluctant look, wishing this moment could last a little longer.

The ancient golden phoenix seemed to sense something. She moved her transparent golden wings, slowly raised her slender phoenix neck, and looked angrily at the uninvited guest who had disturbed her slumber.

Their eyes met.

In the ancient golden phoenix's eyes, which had been filled with anger, the emotions shifted to shock, disbelief, and ecstasy, finally turning into tears of overwhelming joy...

Qin Yu and the others arrived at the cave entrance.

"Should we go straight in? After all, it's the sacred ground of the Phoenix Clan..." Qin Fu hesitated.

"Enter."

Qin Yu was absolutely certain. She understood perfectly well that the deal the god made with her back then was not only to have her protect the Phoenix Clan, but also to have her protect the Phoenix Clan's secrets.

She didn't know what the secret was, but she could guess that it lay within the Phoenix Cave.

Because they possessed the token given to them by the Black Phoenix, the Phoenix Fire parted to make way for the Qin family women as soon as they took a step forward.
