Outside the great egg of Nirvana, Heidlin hadn't had time to reminisce or express her gratitude; she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, preparing to reach out and pull Valentina, who was curled up inside the egg, out.
Valentina gasped for fresh air, but each breath she exhaled carried intense cold, as if her body held the entire winter of the Northern Realm within her.
As Valentina breathed, Heidlin's hand turned bright red from the cold, trembling as she touched the cracked eggshell next to her. It was as if some switch was triggered, and the entire eggshell began to shatter, producing a crisp sound.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
"My lady!"
Heidlin's fragile human body appeared so vulnerable in the face of a phoenix's extreme cold. She was forced to step back several paces, watching as Valentina slipped out from the broken shell, fully revealing her current appearance to Heidlin.
