When the Emperor emerged from seclusion, the little black ball had disappeared to play somewhere.
The little phoenix was originally in human form. Upon seeing Mo Qi, it rushed over and happily told him, "Your Majesty, I have adopted a little bird."
Mo Qi: "..."
It seems the little phoenix really didn't listen to Xuanwu's words.
"Xiao Hei looks exactly like me, except that its feathers are black."
Mo Qi reached out to support the girl who was leaning against him as they talked, knowing that the little phoenix must be too tired to maintain her human form after playing all day.
He picked the girl up in his arms without expression, listening to her chatter on about where she and Xiao Hei had gone and what games they had played that day, as he walked towards the dormitory.
"Xiao Hei really looks like you." Yuan Dan leaned against Mo Qi's chest, half-closing her eyes as she gazed at the cold and handsome face of Emperor Fusheng. "So Xiao Hei really isn't your illegitimate child?"
Mo Qi placed the little phoenix on the bed, and upon hearing this, he reached out and lightly tapped her forehead: "You naughty Yuanyuan, I will only date you, my little bird."
Upon hearing this, Yuandan was immediately delighted. After rolling around on the bed a few times, she finally turned back into a pink pom-pom.
Mo Qi then took the pink ball in his hand and kneaded it, telling her, "Little Black is not a little bird."
"But Little Black was only born not long ago." The little phoenix lay comfortably in Mo Qi's palm, enjoying the Emperor's massage.
Mo Qiwei was silent for a moment: "But it had already lived for hundreds of years when it was in the egg."
The little phoenix paused in its kicking motion, blinked its beady eyes in confusion, and asked, "Isn't a bird's lifespan calculated from the day it hatches?"
“No.” Mo Qi grasped the little phoenix’s delicate claws, which seemed so fragile they could break with a single touch, and said in a calm, even-tempered voice, “A bird’s lifespan is calculated from the moment it is born, even if it is still an egg.”
“Then I must have lived in the egg for many years,” the little phoenix said decisively.
I don't know where that confidence comes from.
Looking at the little phoenix lying flat on its little belly, letting it be petted, Xiao Changqi was also a little puzzled about what the little phoenix had experienced while it was in the egg.
Why did we suffer losses?
Is it truly a congenital deficiency?
Or is it due to acquired factors?
“We phoenixes are reborn from the ashes. When Grandpa Phoenix found me, he thought I was a pink-painted dove egg.” After lying there for a while, the little phoenix became restless and insisted on flying to sit on top of Mo Qi’s head.
Mo Qi let the little phoenix play with him, and then heard the little phoenix's soft voice coming from above: "The eggs of the phoenix clan are all reddish-gold, there are no white eggs, white eggs can only be the eggs of other birds."
Mo Qi said, "It could also be a phoenix egg."
The little phoenix was taken aback. After thinking about it, it seemed that the Emperor was right; it could indeed be a phoenix egg.
“But I’m not a white egg,” the little phoenix corrected the emperor. “I’m pink.”
Mo Qi: "Mm."
"Later, I heard from Grandpa Phoenix that I didn't hatch until a hundred years later..."
The little phoenix took so long to hatch that Grandpa Phoenix almost forgot about the egg until one day when he returned home and suddenly heard a soft, babyish chirping sound.
Looking again at the egg on the table, I realized it had cracked open at some point.
This means the baby bird has been born.
Grandpa Phoenix searched for a long time before finally finding the little phoenix under the table, still with a piece of broken eggshell on its head...
That's right.
What came out of the egg was not a turtledove.
Instead, it's a little phoenix.
This little phoenix is different from most phoenixes.
Because she is pink.
This is a manifestation of congenital deficiency.
"Actually, I don't like fighting," the little phoenix said listlessly, "but if you don't know how to fight, you'll get bullied by the other birds."
