Everyone was stunned when they saw the enormous phoenix, its entire body ablaze with fire, fly into the palace!
Oh my god!
This must be the Vermilion Bird, the divine beast!
She can summon the Vermilion Bird divine beast; she really is the Empress of Western Liang!
This was also the first time Helian Rong had ever seen the Vermilion Bird divine beast. He had only seen pictures of the Vermilion Bird divine beast in ancient books before, and he never expected that the real divine beast would be so huge and so awe-inspiring.
Suddenly, Helian Rong also felt a growing anticipation for the Azure Dragon mythical beast of their Northern Wei.
You should know that the Azure Dragon, the divine beast of the Northern Wei Dynasty, is the head of the Four Divine Beasts. Unfortunately, even after so many years, none of the ancestors, including the Great Ancestor, were able to summon the Azure Dragon.
I've heard that when the new emperor of Eastern Chu ascended the throne, he summoned the Xuanwu divine beast.
Now, not only does the Western Liang have a guardian beast, but the Eastern Chu's Xuanwu beast has also appeared. I wonder when the Northern Wei's Qinglong beast will appear.
It was the first time that Helian Qin and the others had seen the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast. Although they were all shocked by it, they still couldn't believe that what they were seeing was real. Or perhaps they dared not and could not believe it was real, since it concerned the throne of Northern Wei and their future situation!
Helian Qin reacted quickly and took the initiative to attack, pointing at the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast and shouting, "This is fake! This stinky bird is not the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast at all! Don't believe her!"
"Chirp!" As if understanding Helian Qin's words, the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast opened its mouth and breathed fire at him as punishment!
"Ah!" A fireball hit Helian Qin, and the flames instantly spread all over his body, scaring Helian Qin into screaming repeatedly.
Seeing that Helian Qin was engulfed in flames, everyone in the hall was terrified. They looked at Helian Qin in horror, and then at the Vermilion Bird divine beast.
This Vermilion Bird mythical beast is too powerful; it can breathe fire if you don't say the right thing!
"Ah! Ah!" Helian Qin rolled around on the ground desperately as he was burned by the fire.
"Third brother!" Helian Zheng and Helian Jun were also quite frightened when they saw this.
Helian Zheng shouted immediately, "Quickly, bring water to put out the fire!"
The Azure Dragon Guards all sprang into action, each carrying water to splash on Helian Qin, but the fire on Helian Qin's body was very strange; no matter how much water they splashed, the fire could not be extinguished.
Dozens of basins of water were poured on Helian Qin, but the fire on his body could not be extinguished; on the contrary, it seemed to be burning even more fiercely.
Helian Zheng and Helian Jun were terrified and stared in alarm at the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.
What is this thing? The fire it spews is so powerful that even water can't extinguish it.
Duanmu Junyu noticed their gazes and immediately retorted coldly, "Huo'er is spewing heavenly fire! Do you think a few basins of water can put it out?"
Heavenly Fire?
Helian Zheng and Helian Jun both swallowed hard.
It really is a mythical beast!
Fortunately, they didn't say anything rash, otherwise they would be the ones getting burned now.
"Father, save me!" Seeing that no one was coming to his rescue and that there was no way to save him, Helian Qin climbed toward the dragon throne and begged Helian Rong for help.
Helian Rong looked at Helian Qin, who was engulfed in flames, and felt heartache and reluctance in his eyes.
Although he hated these rebellious sons who coveted his throne and constantly targeted Ci'er, they were still his own sons. No matter how bad his sons were, he didn't want to outlive his parents.
Moreover, on such a special day, he didn't want things to escalate out of control.
"Ci'er!" Helian Rong frowned and looked at Su Renzhong.
Su Renzhong didn't really want to make a big fuss, especially since it was his grandfather's 80th birthday, but he couldn't extinguish the heavenly fire, so he could only look at Duanmu Junyu with longing.
After so many years of marriage, Duanmu Junyu understood his meaning perfectly well. She pouted and said, "It's not that I don't want to save him, it's just that our Huo'er can only breathe fire, not extinguish it!"
She never saw Huo'er put out the fire!
Su Renzhong was utterly helpless. Even Duanmu Junyu couldn't do anything about it, so what could he do?
"Father, save me!" Helian Qin, struggling in the heavenly fire, continued to cry out to Helian Rong for help.
He knew that the only person who could save him now was his father, the emperor.
Only the Emperor could command these people to save him!
"Third brother!" Helian Rong was also very anxious, but even his daughter-in-law said there was nothing he could do, so he was at a loss.
Seeing how much Helian Rong cared about Helian Qin, Su Xuening sighed softly, stepped forward, took the baby from his arms, and patted the baby's bottom.
Everyone looked at Su Xuening's actions with bewildered expressions, completely unaware of what she was doing.
Helian Rong was stunned to see Su Xuening hitting Xiao Bao. He frowned and asked with concern, "What are you doing?"
Su Xuening originally intended to make Xiaobao cry, but her slap was so light that Xiaobao thought she was just playing around with him. Instead of crying, he smiled at Su Xuening.
...Su Xuening had no choice but to grab his chubby little hand and bite it.
This time, Xiao Bao felt the pain, his little mouth twitched, and he burst into tears.
Helian Rong was utterly stunned by Su Xuening's actions. Seeing that she had made Xiao Bao cry, Helian Rong felt sorry for her and quickly went over to take Xiao Bao back.
Seeing the teeth marks on Xiao Bao's chubby hand, Helian Rong frowned and looked at Su Xuening: "You..."
"Hiss!" Before he could finish his question, another hissing sounded from outside.
The roar was deep and loud, as if it came from the distant horizon.
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, a giant beast flew in from outside again.
When everyone saw this giant beast with a tortoise's body, a snake's tail, and enormous wings, they were all utterly shocked.
"My God, isn't that the Xuanwu divine beast?"
"How did this Xuanwu divine beast appear?"
"I never expected to see both the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise, two great divine beasts, today!"
Helian Rong stared in disbelief at the Xuanwu divine beast that had suddenly appeared before him.
With a dragon's head, a tortoise's body, a snake's tail, and giant wings, this is the appearance of the Xuanwu divine beast described in ancient books. This is truly the Xuanwu divine beast!
How did it appear?
Helian Rong stared blankly at Xiao Bao in his arms, wondering why he felt that the Xuanwu divine beast was related to Xiao Bao.
Does the Xuanwu divine beast appear as soon as Xiaobao cries?
"Hiss!" The Xuanwu Divine Beast seemed to have seen Xiao Bao crying in Helian Rong's arms, and stretched out its dragon head to attack Helian Rong.
"Wait a minute." Su Xuening quickly stepped in front of Helian Rong.
The Xuanwu divine beast seemed to recognize Su Xuening as Xiaobao's mother and promptly withdrew its attack.
Su Xuening said to the Xuanwu Divine Beast apologetically, "I made Xiaobao cry. You should be able to spray water, right? I asked you to come so you could help me put out Huo'er's fire."
The Xuanwu divine beast understood Su Xuening's words and turned its dragon head towards Helian Qin, who was still rolling on the ground.
"Hiss!" The Xuanwu Divine Beast seemed to sneeze, snorting at Helian Qin, and the fire on Helian Qin's body miraculously disappeared.
