I'm waiting for you to come back.
The Emperor once said something similar to the little phoenix.
The story begins with the phoenix that came from Phoenix Mountain.
This phoenix has come to tell the little phoenix to come home.
"Grandpa Phoenix is sick and wants to see you," the phoenix delivering the message said to the little phoenix sitting under the locust tree outside the Floating Life Palace.
Little Phoenix's practiced movements suddenly stopped, and he stared blankly at the phoenix that delivered the letter: "Grandpa Phoenix is sick?"
"Yes."
The little phoenix has feelings for her phoenix grandfather who has raised her for hundreds of years, and she has always regarded him as family.
Upon hearing that Grandpa Phoenix was ill, Little Phoenix felt anxious, but Mo Qi was still in seclusion, and she wanted to say goodbye before leaving.
So when Mo Qi came out of the cultivation room, the first thing he heard was not Little Phoenix saying "I miss you so much," but rather, "Your Majesty, Grandpa Phoenix is sick, and I need to go back to visit him."
Mo Qi was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that the little phoenix would leave so soon after he had only been in seclusion for a few days.
Could it be that he spent too little time with Little Phoenix, and Little Phoenix got angry and wanted to run away from home?
Mo Qi picked up the little phoenix and said gently, "I will definitely come out earlier next time I go into seclusion to accompany you."
The little phoenix shook her head, understandingly saying, "Your Majesty, you don't need to do this. Brother Yue Lao told me that you went into seclusion to suppress the celestial sundial, and the long time was only because you were too tired."
The little phoenix raised her head and looked at him earnestly, saying, "If you shorten your seclusion and come out to be with me sooner, I'll be happy... well, very happy, but I don't want you to be too tired, or I'll worry."
Mo Qi was puzzled. Judging from Little Phoenix's behavior, she didn't seem to be throwing a tantrum and running away from home. So why...?
"Aren't you upset that I didn't stay with you?"
The little phoenix flew to his shoulder and nuzzled his cheek, as if whispering, "No wonder, Your Majesty is definitely busier than us little birds, and I also have my own career to pursue."
Mo Qi reached out and touched her: "Then why did you leave?"
The little phoenix tilted its head: "Didn't I tell you? Grandpa Phoenix is sick, and I need to go back to visit him."
Mo Qi raised an eyebrow and hesitated, "Even phoenixes get sick?"
"Qi Zhi, even birds get sick, and Grandpa Phoenix is old, so of course he'll get sick."
The name of Emperor Fusheng is Moqi, and his courtesy name is Qizhi, which is taken from the phrase "Ning Qi sang his songs, and Duke Huan of Qi heard of it and became his advisor." It was given to him by the little phoenix.
In the mortal world, courtesy names are usually bestowed by elders or teachers, but no one on Mount Fusheng is older or of a higher generation than Mo Qi.
Therefore, no one could give Mo Qi a courtesy name, and in the end, it could only be given by this little phoenix who would become the future emperor and empress.
When Little Phoenix came across the line "Ning Qi sang his praises, and Duke Huan of Qi heard it and became his advisor," she felt it was particularly fitting for Mo Qi.
Thus, the courtesy name of Emperor Fusheng was decided to be Qi Zhi.
Mo Qi is the master of Fusheng Mountain, and everyone calls him Emperor, so only Little Phoenix knows his real name.
Mo Qi gently kneaded the pink ball, remained silent for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice, "When will you be back?"
"Phoenix Mountain seems quite far from here. It took me almost a month to fly here, so it will probably take more than two months to go back and forth." Little Phoenix has already regarded Floating Life Mountain and Single Nest Mountain as her home, so she will definitely come back.
"Okay." Mo Qi's voice was somewhat faint, and seemed a little dazed. "I'll wait for you to come back."
"Yes, Qi Zhi, don't worry, I will definitely come back soon."
Little Phoenix never expected that when she returned, all she would find was a desolate, barren snow-capped mountain and an empty Floating Life Palace.
