The sparrow returned after only half an hour, with a bead strung together with grass in its beak.
Lying in bed on New Year's Day, I lazily glanced at the sparrows that flew in chirping: "You're back?"
"Chirp chirp."
The sparrows had clearly returned from the mountains and forests; they still had dew and bits of leaves on them.
What are you holding in your mouth?
"It is the Phoenix Spirit Pearl that you gave me before you were reborn." The sparrow released its beak, and the pearl fell onto the bed.
"Phoenix Spirit Pearl?" Yuan Dan squatted down, looking curiously at the dull-colored pearl in front of him.
She tentatively stretched out her wings, and just as she touched the bead, a burst of fiery red light suddenly erupted.
On New Year's Day, Xiaodou's eyes widened in shock, but the bright light was fleeting, appearing for only a moment before returning to its dim state.
Seeing that Yuandan was stunned, the sparrow reminded him, "Master, this is a resonance of bloodlines."
Because the Phoenix Spirit Pearl has existed within the phoenix since its birth, it shares a natural bloodline connection with the phoenix, which explains why it emitted such a strong light as soon as New Year's Day approached.
If the Phoenix Spirit Pearl had consciousness, it would be jumping for joy right now.
It had been silent for over a hundred years. Since its rebirth on New Year's Day, its soul had fallen into the mortal world, and the Phoenix Spirit Pearl had never sensed its master's presence again.
"This really isn't some kind of magic trick?" Yuan Dan looked at his wings, then at the black bead on the bed.
The sparrow knew that its master had lost his memory and did not recognize it or the Phoenix Spirit Pearl, but as its master's number one little brother, it was obligated to take good care of him.
“Master, the Phoenix Spirit Pearl has been dormant for a hundred years. You need to carry it with you at all times and nurture it for a period of time to restore its spiritual energy.”
What she had just witnessed made Yuandan believe seven-tenths of what Sparrow said, but she still couldn't believe the remaining three-tenths.
"If I were truly your master..."
"You are my master."
“Okay.” Yuan Dan said in a tone that implied he would agree with whatever Yuan Dan said. “You’ve been calling Xiao Changqi ‘Emperor’ ever since you met him, so I must have dated Xiao Changqi before?”
Sparrow sat sturdily on the bed frame. After hearing Yuandan's words, she tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know why the Emperor fell and became a mortal, but he really looks exactly like the Emperor."
And the sense of fear it evokes is the same.
"There are many people in this world who look alike, how can you be sure that he is the emperor you are talking about?"
"Hmm..." After what Yuandan said, Sparrow was uncertain again.
It could recognize Yuandan because Yuandan carried the aura of its master, but the emperor, who was revered as the ancient war god, could not accurately identify it.
"Alright, whether I'm your master or not, you can stay at the palace for now. As for this bead..." Yuan Dan slapped its wing on the bead, "I'll keep it for now?"
Sparrow nodded: "The Phoenix Spirit Pearl originally belonged to you."
Yuandan glanced at the sky outside and guessed that Xiao Changqi should be back soon, so he told the sparrow to go back to the Sparrow Nesting Courtyard to rest, so that it wouldn't run into Xiao Changqi's hands again.
Sparrow was also afraid of Xiao Changqi, who looked a lot like the Emperor. In addition, she had almost been strangled to death by the man just now. She was too busy avoiding him to dare to approach him.
Sure enough, not long after the sparrow left, Xiao Changqi returned from outside, looking travel-worn.
Fearing the man was still angry, she flew over as soon as she saw him and crashed into his arms with a thud.
"Chirp chirp." The little bird nuzzled the man with its head, its soft voice devoid of any questioning.
Where have you been having fun?
Why didn't you take me with you?
