After reading Xuan's memory fragments, Xu Kun fell into deep thought.
The phoenix is both lucky and unfortunate.
His mother died in front of him, his tribe members became his food, and he himself was exiled and led a miserable life at the bottom of society.
She was reborn from desperate situations time and time again, and each experience was so hopeless. If she had had a little worse luck, she would have died long ago.
Her life is not under her control.
Even after accepting the trial from Xuanzu, her life seemed to have reached its peak, but in fact she was still like a puppet, controlled by others.
"Grandma, what do you mean by showing me these?"
He thought he would not get a response, but unexpectedly, the voice of the Phoenix Lord resounded deep in Xu Kun's soul, wrapped in these fragments of memory.
"If I tell you that everything that Xuanbao has experienced was caused by me, how would you feel?"
Xu Kun was stunned: "Including her mother's death?"
The Phoenix Lord was silent, but silence was better than words at this moment.
"Don't you think it's… too cruel?" Xu Kun said, finding it hard to accept.
"In a time of great strife, reality will only become more cruel. Normally, Xuanbao would have become food for the group of rock-feathered demon vultures, or he would have starved to death in the chicken coop."
"Who cares about the life or death of a desert chicken?"
"I am just training a new successor to the Nine Veins of the Phoenix."
The person in control never creates something out of nothing, but instead adds fuel to the fire.
Without that experience, even if Xuan accepted Xuanzu's trial, he would not be able to become the candidate expected by Fengzhu, let alone become a being comparable to Xuanzu in the future.
Everything she did was a trick of fate, and was also the arrangement for her by the Phoenix Lord who had great power and destiny.
If Xuan knew the truth, Xu Kun believed that she would be heartbroken.
Until now, her fate is still being guided by the Phoenix Lord.
"Baby, you seem dissatisfied with my actions?"
Xu Kun could hear his grandma laughing.
He turned his head stubbornly and said, "This has nothing to do with me. Everyone has their own destiny. Although I sympathize with her past, it does not mean that I can forgive everything she did."
"Even if she's pregnant with your child?"
Xu Kun remained silent. This was the thing he least wanted to face.
"Grandma, you're going too far!"
Xu Kun felt that his grandmother was forcing him to make a choice he didn't want to make.
"It's not that I'm overdoing it, but those who can't resist fate will eventually be pushed forward by fate."
"She has burned all of Ah-Hun's essence, blood, and essence. If you don't care about her, she will die soon along with the fetus in her belly."
"Master Feng!" Xu Kun clenched his fists and said sternly.
He couldn't accept such a threat, and such a joke was not funny at all!
The Phoenix Lord remained calm about this: "Xuan Bao is the child bride I chose for you, just like Yang Yao. If you don't take care of her, then watch her die!"
"I don't believe that you can watch the future master of the Xuanwu that you have painstakingly cultivated die!" Xu Kun shouted.
"Compared with the future of the Phoenix Clan, the leader of the Phoenix Clan is not worth mentioning. You should be very clear about the truth that no eggs will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned!" The Phoenix Lord responded.
The corners of Xu Kun's mouth began to twitch, and what was even more outrageous was that the Phoenix Lord directly projected the current situation at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield deep into Xu Kun's soul.
The pale-faced Xuan was already shaky like a candle in the wind.
He gritted his teeth and refused the help from others, swaying as he tried to straighten his body.
Even through the screen, Xu Kun could sense the rapid draining of her life force.
Her body was already riddled with holes.
"There are still fifteen minutes left before the gate to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield closes. If you ignore her, she will die."
"Why do you have to force me?"
The Phoenix Lord remained silent, did not answer, and everything disappeared.
Xu Kun regained consciousness, breathing heavily, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Brother Xiaokun, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Kun said nothing, tightly holding Yang Yao's soft hand, his bloodshot eyes revealing an unprecedented struggle.
Yang Yao was startled: "Is it about her?"
Just as Xu Kun was about to speak, Yang Yao's eyebrows relaxed and she smiled slightly, saying, "Brother Xiaokun, in everything you do, just follow your heart, leave no regrets, and don't violate morality."
The hesitation on Xu Kun's face instantly disappeared. He looked at Yang Yao who was so close to him and murmured, "Yaoyao..."
Yang Yao touched Xu Kun's hair and said softly, "Brother Xiaokun, give her a chance, and give you a chance too."
"In life, there is nothing more important than life and death."
After experiencing the journey with the dragon clan, Yang Yao's mood became very open-minded.
With her comfort, Xu Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see."
"What she owes shouldn't end like this. No one can take her life until she atones for her sins!"
Looking at Xu Kun, who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, Yang Yao smiled dotingly.
Men always have to find excuses for doing something.
Xu Kun came up with an idea and agreed to the Phoenix Clan's request for an alliance.
The phoenix, who had been waiting outside the battlefield of all races and watching the entrance and exit being closed, whose consciousness had become blurred, finally waited until the monkey battlefield changed from gray to green. A glimmer of hope appeared in his gray and faded phoenix eyes.
"Brother Kun..."
With a murmur, Xuan felt himself falling into a warm embrace, and really wanted to sleep like this and never wake up.
"You want to die, have you asked for my consent?"
The cold voice brought Xuan's consciousness, which was about to sink, back to reality.
The exhausted vitality was enveloped by a warm current.
