Quick Wear Beauty

Qingli smiled. This phoenix phantom was complaining about her poverty; it was just the pot calling the kettle black, a mutual insult.

The phoenix flew inside the cave, and after a short while, laughter came from inside:

"Your friend, is he the male cultivator with the wine gourd hanging from his waist? He's a Nascent Soul stage black shark, but I don't know what kind of injury he suffered, and his cultivation has regressed to the Qi Refining stage. He entered the Golden Feather Secret Realm, and it's obvious that he's here for the shark clan's inheritance."

He is half-human and half-mermaid, just like you. However, due to the thin merman bloodline in his body, he can only receive the outer inheritance and cannot enter the core area.

If you actually believe him, be careful he doesn't extract all the royal blood of the merfolk from your body and forcibly open the gates of the Inheritance Hall. Haha, that'll be quite a show; I think you'll turn into dried merfolk."

Li Guang received this news from Huang Ling. She took a deep breath and ignored the phoenix's mocking tone.

As her cultivation level increases, she will be able to receive more of her inherited memories.

The demon race places great emphasis on bloodline hierarchy. Whether it is the dragon race, the phoenix race, or other races, from bottom to top, status is established by the pressure of bloodline, which is simple and brutal.

Within the Merfolk, lineage is determined by the tail, with gold being the most prestigious, followed by red, then white, and black the lowest. Unless one possesses truly exceptional abilities, lineage contributes to the strict hierarchy within the Merfolk.

According to Huang Ling, Shen Ci was a disheveled black shark. Since his cultivation had deteriorated so severely, he would try every means, even unscrupulous ones, to recover to the Nascent Soul stage.

She put aside Shen Ci for the moment and got back to the main topic: "So, senior, are you really willing to let Yu Yu suffer with me?"

She took out a handful of low-grade spirit stones, about a hundred or so, which Yu Yu absorbed in just a few seconds. The phoenix egg wasn't satisfied and circled around her, urging her to give it more.

"Hungry, hungry, sister is hungry!"

Suddenly, I heard a childish voice.

Helpless, she grabbed another handful of mid-grade spirit stones, which she absorbed just as quickly this time.

After eating the spirit stone, the phoenix egg whispered in her ear, conveying her heartfelt words: "Thank you, sister, Yu Yu is so happy!"

She could already foresee the hardships of raising phoenix eggs...

It would be strange if a small-time cultivator possessed all the rare and precious treasures needed for a phoenix to hatch. Who knows if the Phoenix Spirit has any hidden tricks up its sleeve? Only by making the Phoenix Spirit look down on her meager resources can she be safe.

That said, doesn't Huang Ling really consider finding someone else to raise the child?

Is it plausible that a mermaid would raise phoenix eggs?

"Senior, can we move the spirit stone mine in the Golden Feather Secret Realm? Or could you tell me the location, and I'll go dig some up for Yu Yu to eat?"

Perhaps Phoenix was pleased with Li Guang's act of feeding Yu Yu spirit stones, for her voice had softened considerably:

"Don't even think about it. I've already mined out all the movable spirit stone mines. What's left are both hidden and cannot be moved, otherwise it would affect the stability of the secret realm. If the secret realm collapses, you and I will be left with a huge karmic debt."

So it turns out the phoenix had already dug it out!

The Golden Feather Secret Realm opens only once every hundred years, which explains why people say that its resources and spiritual energy have been decreasing over the past few hundred years.

Li Guang laid an insulating spiritual blanket on the ground, sat down, and sighed, "So, senior, you can no longer raise Yu Yu, which is why you came to me, this sucker?"

"Don't put it so harshly. I have high hopes for you! You and Yu Yu are destined for each other. After Yu Yu hatches, she will become stronger and stronger, and you will have a powerful ally."

She sighed, "Why are you dangling empty promises at me? These dry, hard pie-in-the-sky promises... they're so tempting..."

"Senior, I have enemies, one of whom is a Mahayana cultivator. Aren't you afraid that Yu Yu will die with me?"

"Did I hear that right? You're a Qi Refining cultivator, and your enemy is a Mahayana cultivator? What did he do? Can't you two reconcile?"

"He instigated his disciple, who is also my husband, to kill me. After his disciple buried me, he came and dug up my mermaid pearl. You can imagine what would happen if someone dug up your demon core..."

"I'll take him with me even if I die! Fine, there's no way to reconcile! If I can forgive this, I might as well be dead! If only I could take Yu Yu back to our clan! Sigh!"

Li Guang knew that the Phoenix's territory was in the Upper Realm, and the barriers between realms were not easy to break.

The phoenix seemed genuinely troubled, flying back and forth in the cave before finally declaring, "Never mind! I'll slay gods and demons alike! You're the one!"

Two beams of light enveloped the glass light and the phoenix egg, and intricate contract patterns shimmered in the air.

Li Guang's eyes widened. Was she really going to be forced into a sale by the old phoenix?
