Qi Yu thought for a moment, then put down her right leg, switched to her left leg, and asked Feng Xiao, "Why do you think he doesn't want to wake up?"
Feng Xiao looked up at the dark space above, pondered for a long time, and said, "Perhaps... it's because there's something in his dream that he cherishes."
The only thing Qi Yan would cherish is probably his wife, the Phoenix Clan goddess Feng Xian, whom he pursued for a long time before finally winning her over.
However, Feng Xian had long been persecuted to death by the Phoenix Clan, and Qi Yan could only meet her in his dreams.
etc.
Qi Yu suddenly thought of something, and she turned to look at Feng Xiao beside her, "What exactly was the purpose of the symbiotic contract you signed with me back then?"
To live and die together?
When she asked Fengxiao before, he always dodged the question, but this time she was determined to get an answer.
Feng Xiao pursed his lips and said, "The symbiotic contract allows me to share my power with you. Furthermore, as long as I live, you will not die, and if I die, you will still live. It is symbiosis, not co-death."
He roughly understood that Qi Yu brought this up because she wanted to know if it was possible that Qi Yan and Feng Xian had also signed a symbiotic contract, and that Feng Xian was actually not dead.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "But this is a spell that only the Phoenix Clan can cast, and the reason I will sign a symbiotic contract with you is because I know that I will not die."
However, even though Feng Xian is a goddess of the Phoenix Clan, she can only undergo Nirvana once.
Qi Yu collapsed back into his chair in disappointment.
An hour passed, and Fenxin continued to play "Phoenix Seeking Its Mate" with unwavering persistence. Qiyu tried every method she could think of, but Qiyan remained unmoved.
She stared at the silver-haired man lying in the coffin, finding him incredibly difficult to deal with.
There's a saying that goes something like this: you can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.
Now that Qi Yan is asleep here, will he know that Feng Xian is actually dead?
Otherwise, why would he willingly immerse himself in the dream and refuse to wake up?
For a moment, Qi Yu almost wanted to pick up the coffin and pack up Qi Yan, Fen Xin, and all the miscellaneous demonic cultists of the Blood Fiend Sect, and throw them all into the Demon Realm.
If you don't want to wake up, then don't wake up. It doesn't matter if you sleep forever.
However, Burning Heart wouldn't allow it; her jade-white fingertips were already tinged with a faint red, yet she still refused to stop.
Qi Yu looked at her and suddenly asked, "Fen Xin, do you like Qi Yan?"
Burning Heart's fingers trembled, and he misplayed a note, saying, "How dare I covet my master?"
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow. "In that case, why not let Qi Yan go?"
Burning Heart suddenly raised his head and said, "What do you mean by letting Master go? Do you mean to keep Master locked in this little coffin forever, never to wake up again?! Master's grand ambitions have not yet been realized, how could he be willing to accept this..."
"Then why doesn't he wake up?" Qi Yu said coldly. "The person he loves is dead, Feng Xian is dead. You keep saying how touching his love with Feng Xian was, so why do you want to bring him back to this cruel world where Feng Xian is no longer there?"
Burning Heart opened her mouth, wanting to argue.
Even though the goddess is gone, Lord Qiyan can still...
Is it possible...?
The story of "The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate" came to an abrupt end.
Qi Yu continued, "You just want your master to come back. You don't care if the one who comes back is a walking corpse or not. You just want to see your master whom you've never met before and satisfy yourself. You're too selfish."
"Fengxian is dead. Qiyan's lover is dead, dead, do you understand?"
"If a loved one dies, would he still want to live on alone?"
"Do you really want to drive him to his death?!"
These words, spoken with the force of a bell, resounded in Fenxin's ears, shaking her to her core.
Was it her? Was she selfish?
She just wanted to see her spirited master. Was she being too selfish?
Fenxin felt a moment of disorientation and began to doubt whether all her hard work over the years had been worthwhile.
Seeing this, Qi Yu continued to repeat: "Feng Xian is dead. Will Qi Yan still want to come back? The Phoenix Clan no longer exists. Only Feng Xiao is left. Oh right, Feng Xiao, come and shout with me. You are Feng Xian's son. Maybe your shout can really wake Qi Yan up."
Feng Xiao, who was watching as if nothing had happened, was speechless.
He obediently opened his mouth, about to repeat the lesson with Qi Yu, when Fen Xin suddenly stood up and shouted, "Shut up! Don't say another word!"
She was distraught, muttering to herself, "Let him... let him continue sleeping..."
"...Who...died..."
A hoarse voice suddenly rang out, startling everyone who turned to look at the source of the sound.
Qi Yu, who had been keeping an eye on the person in the coffin out of the corner of his eye, curled his lips into a smile.
Inside the coffin, the silver-haired man opened his eyes, his purplish-red pupils filled with a slight sense of bewilderment.
He sat up, seemingly unaware of where he was or who the people around him were.
As if by telepathy, he tilted his head toward another person with silver hair in the secret realm.
His phoenix eyes, identical to Feng Xian's, with crimson pupils, revealed his identity.
"You are..." Qi Yan's slightly chapped lips moved slightly as he said, "My child?"
Feng Xiao stared at Qi Yan for a moment, then nodded. "I am Feng Xiao."
“Feng Xiao…” Qi Yan lingered on his lips, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. “If Feng Xian saw you, she would be very happy.”
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow. Qi Yan's words made it seem as if he truly knew that Feng Xian was dead.
If Feng Xian and Qi Yan signed a symbiotic contract, would Qi Yan sense Feng Xian's death?
I think so.
