Jiufeng was hysterical, her face contorted with grief, and she was heartbroken. She growled at Shu Xubai, "Stop talking! I order you not to say another word!"

"You're not allowed to speak? By what right do you forbid me from speaking..."

"With a 'pfft'!"

Before Shu Xu could finish speaking, Jiu Feng suffered another stroke, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.

Shu Xubai pressed his chest, his blood-red eyes narrowing: "Heh, you're really weak."

“Yes, I am very weak.” Jiufeng wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then suddenly laughed, a heart-wrenching laugh that seemed to tear her heart apart, tears streaming silently down her face. “I am very weak. They told me that I am the most talented child in the Phoenix Clan.”

“I was born to be a great shaman, to leave my parents. No… I have no parents. I am a great shaman. Great shamans do not need parents. They only need to maintain the prosperity of the race. I have been learning since I was old enough to understand how to be a great shaman and how to make others submit.”

“I did it because I have the highest talent. When I came of age, I went to the Dragon Cave to choose my dragon egg, my partner. I chose him at first sight. He was a blue egg. He was far away from all the other dragon eggs. He was a quiet egg, like a dead egg.”

“I took it out, and I held it close, cuddled it, talked to it, and poured out my emotions, but they all said it was a dead egg, that I had wasted my efforts, that the egg I, as a high priest, had carefully chosen was dead, and that no one believed it was alive except me.”

"I believe he is alive. I don't believe it. I don't believe the egg I picked is dead. I can feel him. I can feel him organizing my spiritual power while I'm asleep, making my spiritual power grow steadily, and making me the one with the highest spiritual power in the Phoenix Clan."

"I was the only one who persisted, persisted, persisted that he was alive. But later, his spiritual power inside the egg began to emanate, he became lively, he became like a living egg, and because of this, the elders discovered that he was a sub-female dragon."

"The sub-female dragon, the legendary dragon, the dragon that can grant the Phoenix Clan longevity. The elders began to instill in me the mission of the sub-female dragon. I didn't want to listen, I didn't want to listen, but they kept talking, kept talking, kept talking in my ear, saying that I, as the leader of the Phoenix Clan, the god of the fourth civilization's spirit."

“I am a god, I am for all people, and I must also be for the Phoenix Clan. I have been persuaded by them, persuaded.”

“I cannot possess my partner alone, nor can I live forever alone. My own immortality is not true immortality. True immortality is when all members of the Phoenix Clan live forever. I obeyed them, I promised them, and I told them that when my partner emerges, I will personally offer him my partner and share him with others.”

"Hahaha, sharing with others, hahaha... The Phoenix Clan is greedy, selfish, cruel, bloodthirsty, and shameless, yet I promised them, to share with them the mate I hatched myself, the mate I promised to always be good to... Hahaha..."

Jiufeng burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face. She looked disheveled, crazy, and beautiful all at once: "Bo Jichen is right. Love is possession, love is exclusive, love should not be shared. Therefore, I am not worthy of love, I am not worthy of a partner."

"It was right for my partner to leave me, run away, and make me unable to find him. Someone like me doesn't deserve to have a partner."

Shu Xubai snorted coldly: "You still have some self-awareness, knowing you're not worthy."

Jiufeng shifted her feet, reached out, grasped the sword embedded in the huge glass, and pulled hard, the sound of the glass cracking echoing.

As if she couldn't hear the sound of glass rattling, Jiufeng took a step forward.

Shu Xubai looked at him.

Suddenly.

The glass, which had been cracking with a series of snaps, suddenly shattered. At that moment, Jiu Feng unleashed a powerful burst of spiritual energy, wrapped it around the sword in her hand, and threw it at Shu Xubai.

Shu Xubai was jolted by the powerful spiritual force. His blood-red pupils tightened. Without dodging, he quickly stepped forward and thrust the longsword, which was wrapped in spiritual force, into Shu Xubai's chest.

He groaned, ignoring the pain, and reached out to grab Jiufeng, who was falling backward down the stairs.

Jiufeng's hair flew wildly as her body plummeted.

"Good boy!" Shu Xubai called out, and a jet-black bat burst through the door, instantly growing larger and flying down from the huge French windows.

Shu Xubai pulled the longsword stuck in his chest and jumped behind the giant bat.

Jiufeng's body plummeted rapidly.

Just as Shu Xubai was about to grab him, a phoenix cry rang out, followed by a huge roar as flames engulfed Jiu Feng's body.

Shu Xubai suddenly withdrew his hand, and the black bat squeaked as it touched the flames, quickly moving away from Jiufeng, who was falling and surrounded by fire.

Standing on the bat's back, Shu Xubai could only watch helplessly as Jiufeng was engulfed in flames and plummeted downwards, crashing into the ground with a thud.

Jiang Si ran into Zhong Yun as she came downstairs. After chatting for a few minutes, she left the hotel and was about to board the aircraft when a huge fireball fell from the sky.

She quickly jumped away to avoid the fireball.

The fireball slammed directly into her aircraft.

Her aircraft vanished instantly, leaving a crater in the ground, where fireballs burned fiercely.

Jiang Si glanced at the fire pit, heard the bats' cries, looked up at the sky, and saw Shu Xubai fall from the sky like a giant bat, clutching his chest, his hands covered in blood, his face as white as if he had been dead for three years.

"What's going on?" Jiang Si asked Shu Xubai, who was standing in the huge pit looking into it. "Honey, don't scare me, what happened?"

What exactly is going on?

What the hell? A red fireball crashed into the crater and is still burning fiercely inside.

It's fine that it's burning, but the problem is that you can't see what's burning inside; all you see is a ball of red flame.

Shu Xubai suddenly turned his head and ordered Jiang Si: "Go down, here are 100 level 30 zombie cores, use them to get the people inside out."

Is there a person inside the red fireball?

Jiang Si peeked out and looked, but couldn't see anything. She really couldn't see anything.

“A wise man knows what to do and what not to do. This is not a matter of zombie crystal cores.” Jiang Si pointed to the huge pit and the fireball burning inside it: “This fire is different from the fire of my fire-type ability. This fire is too red. I can feel its scorching heat even when I stand on it.”

Shu Xubai impatiently raised the stakes: "200 level 30 zombie cores, go down and bring them up for me."

"Smack!"

Jiang Si stood on tiptoe and slapped him on the back of the head, immediately retorting, "Did you get hit in the head by a cannon? Or do you still not understand human language? Do you want me to tell you again in Chinese? This flame that crashed into the pit, the fireball, it's extremely, extremely, extremely hot."

"Even if I have fire-type abilities, I can't draw away the fire inside, and I can't extinguish it. If your contracted partner with your forced imprint is inside the fire, please rest assured that if the fire continues to burn like this, your contracted partner, the Great Witch Jiufeng of the Fourth Civilization, will not even be left as ashes."
