“Yes, this is the fire of the phoenix tree, the fire of the phoenix clan that allows them to be reborn from the ashes.” Agares stated expressionlessly, “Legend has it that only those with strong spiritual power and profound enlightenment can ignite the phoenix tree, attract the fire of the phoenix tree, and then be reborn from the ashes.”

Jiang Si was somewhat exasperated: "This little chick, with a low level of spiritual power and not particularly strong, doesn't seem like someone who has achieved enlightenment. How could it attract the fire of the phoenix tree?"

Bo Jichen snorted through his nose: "Maybe he's the chosen one. He wanted to die, but the heavens wouldn't allow it, so he attracted fire and had a legendary rebirth."

Is he the chosen one?

No one can beat her.

What choice is there?

What is it?

Jiang Si forced a smile: "It's quite interesting. I never thought the legend would come true. I never thought I would be so fortunate as to witness a rebirth, a nirvana."

I've really seen it all in my lifetime.

If you live long enough, you'll see everything.

In ancient China, the phoenix's rebirth from the ashes is only found in historical documents and ancient books. While there are legends about the phoenix, there are no legends about its rebirth from the ashes.

Rebirth from the ashes, endless reincarnation—that is the phoenix.

Ancient Greek mythology describes a bird that, every five hundred years, would gather various fragrant branches or leaves, stack them up, set them on fire, and then regenerate a chick from the ashes.

"Stop looking, it's boring, let's go." Bo Jichen grabbed the rabbit ears on the back of Jiang Si's hoodie again. "Let alone whether he can be reborn or not, this fire will burn for eighty-one days."

Ginger shreds: "!!!!"

Burning for eighty-one days?

Is this a scene from Journey to the West?

There are still 81 days left.

Why not eighty-one tribulations?

Seeing Bo Jichen pulling Jiang Si away, Shu Xubai reached out like lightning to grab her: "Don't go! Leave Jiang Si here!"

Bo Jichen made a move to block, but Shu Xubai feinted with his spear, then turned the hand that was grabbing Jiang Si into a palm strike, slapping Jiang Si in the chest. He then drew his sword and slashed at Bo Jichen.

Jiang Si was struck by Shu Xubai's palm. Her eyes narrowed, and she pretended to retreat repeatedly until she reached the edge of the blazing red fire pit. She then twisted her foot and fell into the fire pit.

“Jiang Jiang…”

Agares's expression changed drastically, he cried out, and leaped into the fire pit.

Ginger shreds: "..."

She just wanted a promotion, why would she want to cause trouble for her ex?

As Jiang Si fell, she gathered powerful wind energy and bounced Agares, who jumped down and tried to grab her, back up.

“Jiang Jiang…”

Agares roared in anger.

With a bang.

Jiang Si fell into the depths of the pit and was engulfed by the raging red flames, disappearing without a trace.

"Jiang Jiang!"

"Agares!" Bo Jichen pressed down on Agares, who was about to jump down again: "It's okay, it's okay. Her mental strength is stronger than yours and mine. She also has fire-type abilities. It'll be okay, it'll be okay."

Agares' forehead veins bulged, his hands clenched into fists, his deep voice flat and monotone, with a slight tremor only detectable upon close listening: "Teacher, she is my wife. Whether she lives or dies, I must see it. Please let go, please do not stop me."

Bo Jichen loosened his grip on his hand and his voice deepened: "Agares, since you know it's the Phoenix Fire, you should know that apart from the Phoenix Clan who might be reborn from the ashes in the Phoenix Fire, any other race that touches it will be burned to death."

Agareth's dark eyes reddened slightly, and a fiery light surged deep within them, like magma: "Whether she burns to death or dies, I will try. I will bring her out, whether she is a corpse or a living being..."

"Can you two stop making things worse?" Shu Xubai was extremely annoyed to hear the two of them maliciously cursing Jiang Si to die in the fire. He said in a harsh voice, "Can you two stop talking about death all the time? She's alive. She won't die. Look how anxious you two are."

Agareth's dark, sharp eyes shot towards Shu Xubai in an instant.

Bo Jichen held his hand firmly, then asked Shu Xubai, "What do you mean?"

Shu Xubai brandished his cane and sword: "What I mean is, I had already told her that she was going to jump down to see how Jiufeng was doing, but then that ungrateful bastard Agares ruined it. He thought that I was trying to harm her by pushing her down, so he kicked me, kicked me, and prevented her from going down."

"I just gave her a chance to go down, so you two don't need to rush here. Even if you two die, she won't die."

Bo Jichen frowned slightly: "Why should we believe you?"

Shu Xubai shrugged, arrogantly oblivious to his own arrogance: "Believe it or not..."

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning streaked down from the sky and struck Shu Xubai directly.

Shu Xubai was struck, his body charred and smoking, only his bloodshot eyes stood out against his dark face. Then, he was kicked to the ground, his head crushed.

Agares stomped hard on Shu Xubai's head, grinding a hole in the ground. He looked down at her coldly and said, "You pray she's alright. Otherwise, no matter what kind of unknown creature you are or what your relationship with her was, even if she spares your life, I have plenty of ways to kill you."

Shu Xubai: "..."

“The fire has grown bigger again.” Bo Jichen’s purple eyes flashed: “The fire in the fire pit has grown bigger again, flames are leaping out, and there’s no smell of burning corpses. My darling, you should be alright.”

Agares withdrew his foot and came to the blazing fire pit. Gazing at the ever-growing red flames, he clenched his fist, his fingernails digging into his palm, blood dripping down.

Shu Xubai got up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and released the little rascal from his pocket.

The little black bat instantly grew to several meters in size. Shu Xubai leaned against the bat, reaching up to touch his head; it was numb and really hurt…

A raging red fire was burning, flames leaping from the pit opening like subterranean fire erupting from the earth's strata, burning fiercely. The fire burned intensely for a day, for two days, for a month, and for two months without a waning flame...

Si Mubei, dressed in a bright red dress, wearing bright red lipstick and bright red high heels, with her long, fiery red hair, said: "Boss, it's been more than two months, and our daughter..."

Bo Jichen swept his eyes across her, "Even if you die, our daughter won't. What good are you all day long? You said you wanted to seduce Jiufeng, but you didn't even manage to hook a hair on his head."

"With your attitude, you're always thinking about getting rid of me and taking over. Where did you get the courage and confidence to be so blind to your own limitations?"

Si Mubei: "..."

Without personal attacks.

Was it because he didn't want to seduce Jiufeng?

It was Jiufeng who prevented him from seducing her.

He hadn't even had a chance to show off his charm.

Was it his fault?

It was definitely not his fault.

He is incredibly charming and has nine large, bright yellow tails.

Si Mubei snorted, and in a fit of anger, she stood next to the fire pit, covered her mouth with both hands, and howled at the burning fire pit: "My precious daughter, come out quickly! If you don't come out, everyone can bully your Mubei mother. Your Mubei mother has turned into a daylily in the field, turning yellow before it can be picked."

"My darling, come out quickly! If you don't come out, your mother will be bullied to death by them, and you'll never have a mother again... Bo Jichen, Bo Jichen, the fire is out, the fire is out! I called the fire out!"
