"Are you sure she can't get up here?" Bo Jichen was even more surprised: "Should we ask for help and go down to pull her up?"

The chicks are reborn from the ashes like fire from the phoenix tree.

My daughter was burning for 79 days. Could she have been reborn from the ashes?

Looking back, she was like a little chick, reborn from the ashes, fair and tender, with a rosy glow. She didn't recognize anyone except that unknown creature, like a little piece of candy, clinging to him.

No!

Absolutely not.

This is a deeply moving, sadomasochistic relationship.

He didn't want to watch, nor was he willing to watch.

Agares' deep voice was slightly hoarse: "No need, just wait here quietly."

Shu Xubai snorted: "She does have some self-awareness, but she probably won't be out anytime soon. Kid, let's go."

Jiufeng exclaimed excitedly, "Bai Bai, where are we going?"

Shu Xubai released him, creating distance between them: "Go wash up, find someone to teach you how to dress, put on your shoes and socks, let's go."

Jiufeng pouted: "Oh..."

Shu Xubai lifted his foot to walk, but after taking only two steps, he felt a weight on his ankle. Something slippery wrapped around his ankle and pulled him, preventing him from moving.

His expression changed, and he steadied himself. Looking down, he saw a willow branch, barely thicker than a hair, wrapped around his ankle and pulling at him.

He tried to chop the willow branches with his foot, but failed.

Instead, this angered the willow branches, and even more branches tangled around them.

Jiufeng noticed and turned around to pull him, but she was tied to the willow branch and stuck in place, unable to move.

Bo Jichen took a step closer to his student, his eyes filled with fear: "Agares, Agares, our daughter's weapon, this willow branch, it's not for you, it's wrapped around Shu Xubai, what's going on?"

"Could it be that my daughter, like Jiufeng, was burned by the fire of the phoenix tree and lost her memory, only clinging to Shu Xubai?"

Agares's brows and eyes were covered with frost, and his face was cold and expressionless. He spoke coldly, "Teacher, you taught me that on the battlefield, even if you don't die, you can still fight back as a prisoner."

"Right now, you're throwing yourself into a panic and speculating on your own. Doing so only scares yourself and serves no other purpose!"

Bo Jichen: "..."

His heart is so fragile.

Jiufeng can be clingy to whomever she wants.

It's okay, that's his personal freedom.

But my daughter won't do.

My daughter is going to get close to that unknown creature, what about his precious apprentice?

His family would twist his head off and then convict him of the grave crime of failing to protect his daughter.

From now on, there will be no place for him in the bed, the palace, or even the capital planet, let alone in the palace.

Shu Xubai had thin willow branches wrapped around his ankles, legs, hands, waist, and neck, which surrounded him and dragged him down into the pit.

Unable to activate his supernatural abilities or mental power, his body was dragged little by little into the pit by the countless willow branches until he finally reached the edge of the pit.

Unable to break free from Yan Liu, Jiu Feng was extremely anxious and cried out, "Bai Bai, Bai Bai, don't go down, don't go down, Bai Bai..."

His shouts could not stop Shu Xubai, whose mouth was blocked by Yan Liu.

Bang!

Shu Xubai fell into the pit.

The willow branches covering the pit seemed to have countless eyes, until Shu Xubai smashed down and revealed an opening. He followed the opening and fell into the depths of the pit.

Countless red willow branches, baring their claws and fangs, covered the pit again, obscuring everything from above except for the countless thin red willow twigs.

Bo Jichen stared in disbelief, then secretly glanced at his student and saw that his hands were clenched tightly, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, his fingernails had already dug through his palms, and blood was flowing down from between his fingers, into the pit, and onto the grotesque willow branches.

Bo Jichen moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he kept quiet.

but.

Jiufeng was screaming at Shu Xubai with heart-wrenching cries, which annoyed Bo Jichen. He walked up behind him, raised his hand, and swiftly struck Jiufeng on the neck with a palm strike.

As if sensing that he was no longer a threat, Yanliu, who had been wrapped around Jiufeng's feet, quickly withdrew, and Jiufeng's body fell to the ground.

Bo Jichen kicked Si Mubei as if he had thrown him.

When the heavy object pressed down on Si Mubei, his limbs bounced back and forth, as if he had squeezed the body of a turtle and squeezed out four claws and a head.

Agares stood at the edge of the pit, gazing at the dense clusters of willow branches inside…

One day, two days...

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Si Mubei woke up and comforted Jiu Feng.

But he couldn't coax her no matter what he did.

The adorable Jiu Feng completely ignored him. No matter what he said, she just snorted and didn't say a word.

Si Mubei has completely lost face.

I thought I was ugly.

He tried every kind of girl's outfit available on the market, from queenly attire and lolita fashion to mature woman's and pretty lady's attire.

However, it was of no use.

Jiufeng ignored him completely, never even glancing at him. Every day, she and Agares stared longingly at the pit full of branches, like two statues waiting for their husbands. They didn't eat anything except to defecate and urinate.

"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, I'm done." Si Mubei slumped on the sofa in the hotel like a boneless person, looking at the two "waiting-for-husband" rocks outside the hotel through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, waving his hand: "As expected, forced love is never sweet, and even if you want to dip it in sauce, there's no sauce."

Yan Qi handed him the lemon water he had made himself: "When we go back to Rebirth Star, there will be plenty of cucumbers."

Si Mubei rolled her eyes at him, took the water he handed her, and gulped it down.

The sourness of the lemon almost made his teeth ache instantly.

Si Mubei's eyes widened: "How many lemons did you put in?"

Yan Qi asked calmly, "One lemon, is it good?"

Si Mubei: "..."

Is he acidic?

Why is this lemon so sour?

“Eighty-one days, today is the eightieth day.” Bo Jichen came to Agares’ side and raised his personal computer: “The phoenix rebirth takes eighty-one days. Nine Phoenixes took 79 days. Jiang Jiang fell down. Today is the eighty-one day. There are about three minutes left until her fall.”

Agares responded with a hoarse "Mm".

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly… the thick layer of smoke and willow covering the pit moved violently.

Immediately afterwards, a huge willow branch was flung upwards, and Shu Xubai, whose face was deathly pale, was flung up from within the willow branch.

Shu Xubai fell to the ground and rolled twice before stopping.

As soon as he stopped, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Jiufeng rushed forward and helped him up.

Shu Xubai shoved Jiu Feng hard, sending her sprawling to the ground. He turned around, pressed his hand to his chest, and spat at the pit, cursing, "Damn zombie, I'm not done with you! Come up here, it's either you or me! Bah, you heartless bastard, always picking on people you know, aren't you ashamed?"

"Smack..."

A cigarette snapped into his mouth, drawing blood and making him almost slur his words in pain.

Just then, the willow branch that had been flung up by Shu Xubai quickly descended, and the willow branches below, which had been like flying catkins, solidified together, forming a huge ball that rose from the pit and came to Agares's side.

Agares, his eyes red from lack of sleep, stared at the enormous red willow sphere before him and slowly extended his bloodied, scabbed hand to touch it.

The red willow ball cracked instantly when his fingertips touched it. The crack widened, revealing a girl inside who looked only 7 or 8 years old. She wore a loose, ill-fitting bright red robe, had fluffy black hair, a chubby face, and big black eyes.

When the girl saw him, she opened her arms to him and said in a sweet, childlike voice, "Honey, hug me~~"
