Jiang Si took another step, stopping a step away from Shu Xubai, facing him directly, and said, "Yes, after thousands of years, I've realized that I love you. Come on, baby, let's have the most pretentious love, the most shameless love, the one where we betray our families and partners without any bottom line, just for our own pleasure."
Shu Xubai shuddered: "An elegant, noble, and aloof vampire, with the purest bloodline and the highest status, could not possibly do something so shameless."
"Either you divorce your husband, or I kick my little phoenix out of the water, and then we can embark on this belated, joyful love journey?"
Jiang Si rolled her eyes. "You're so shameless!"
Shu Xubai shrugged: "You were the one who went shameless first, I was just playing along with your act!"
"Are you cooperating with my act, or are you putting on an act with me?" Jiang Si scoffed, saying disdainfully, "I'm already right in front of you, telling you I need to talk to you, and you're still bringing up these completely unrelated things!"
Shu Xubai asked innocently, "Did you say you needed to talk to me? Didn't you say you missed me and wanted me to carry Little Phoenix?"
“I’m telling you, our information records are still there, or I can show them to you… You can talk, but why did you bring out this damn willow branch? Put it away, put it away.”
Jiang Si didn't want to listen to his nagging anymore, so she released the willow branch and waved it in front of Shu Xubai, that old geezer. If he said anything more irrelevant, she would slap him.
"I'm not doing anything, where's the chick?" Jiang Si didn't take the willow branch, but held it in her hand: "You came to see me, where did you send him?"
Shu Xubai pulled his hand out of his pocket and pointed to a building behind him: "At the hotel!"
"At the hotel?" Jiang Si looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a towering building over 100 stories high standing behind him. "You think I'm stupid that you can still book a hotel room now, Shu Xubai!"
"I don't think you're stupid!" Shu Xubai said magnanimously, "As the former richest man in the Fourth Civilization and the source of Star Diamonds, do you think I can't find a hotel to stay in with my money?"
Jiang Si was momentarily speechless after being retorted: "Fine, you're rich, so you think you're so great? You're rich, so you're so high and mighty!"
Shu Xubai understood Jiang Si's words: "That's right. Money is just a number to me. If the elegant vampire doesn't want to make money, he can just raise a call and countless believers will send him money to spend!"
"Alright, alright, alright, stop being so narcissistic!" Jiang Si waved her hand impatiently. "If you keep talking like that, my ears will get calluses. I'm going to talk about something serious, the little chick..."
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let me treat you to a meal!" Shu Xubai interrupted Jiang Si: "You can eat whatever you want, my money can make sure you're full!"
Jiang Si lowered her waving hand, narrowed her eyes, and scrutinized Shu Xubai from head to toe. The old, immortal vampire was handsome and had an evil aura. He was of noble birth and was a first-generation vampire. His noble aura was innate and he also exuded a dangerous and charming charm.
This beautiful, noble-born vampire, who was like an unkillable cockroach in the lab, fearless and reckless, started avoiding her when she spoke.
Shu Xubai took a step back, widening the distance between them, and cursed as if his hair had stood on end: "You stinky zombie, look at the look in my eyes, what kind of expression is that? Let me tell you, if you're not going to eat, I don't have time to sit here and chatter with you. I'm busy!"
Jiang Si scoffed at him, raised her foot to approach him, and looked at him rudely: "You old geezer, what kind of expression or look do I give you? You're busy, what are you busy with? Go back and gnaw on your little phoenix."
"Why aren't you here keeping me company with your rambling? Ever since I arrived here, ever since you saw me, you've been trying to change the subject, chatting away, and talking nonsense."
"What's wrong? You've grown up and can't stay at home anymore, you're all looking out for yourself. Or are you, you bastard, afraid? You're running away. You're not like the person you told me, who said life is short and we should enjoy it while we can. You're afraid, you're afraid."
"You're afraid I'll notice something's wrong, but you've already noticed it yourself. I'm here to tell you, to ask you, but you've interrupted me time and time again, not letting me speak. You're running away from it. What, have you fallen in love with your food?"
Shu Xubai lifted his foot to step back, then landed back in place. Looking at his nemesis, who was shorter than him, had more superpowers, and looked like a fierce man-eating flower, he ground his back teeth and said, "You're really annoying!"
Jiang Si raised the corner of her mouth: "Thank you for the compliment. I also think I'm annoying, but I'm annoying because I care about you and want to see you cry. So, you know everything?"
Shu Xubai's eyes darkened: "The first person to know when the food tastes different isn't the food itself, but me!"
Jiang Si's upturned lips didn't fade, and she laughed out loud: "I knew it! How could an elegant, noble, and aloof vampire let herself be put on the defensive!"
"When did this happen? How do you plan to resolve it? Make him suffer the same fate as you, or..."
“He won’t be like me!” Shu Xubai interrupted Jiang Si before she could finish speaking: “I will keep him alive, but I will not grant him immortality, nor do I have the ability to grant him immortality.”
“You know, if I hadn’t gone into the lab, I could have given him my first embrace and made him a second-generation vampire. Even if his lifespan wasn’t as long as mine, it would be about the same as mine.”
"However, I went into the lab. It's true that I'm a first-generation vampire, but I'm not a pure-blooded vampire. I'm too mixed."
Jiang Si suppressed a breath: "His spiritual power is like a phoenix, and a phoenix can be reborn from the ashes..."
"It is the spirit that is reborn from the ashes, not the person!" Shu Xubai interrupted Jiang Si with a hint of anger. He was not angry at Jiang Si, but accusing the Phoenix Clan of the Fourth Civilization: "When the phoenix is reborn from the ashes, it is always its spirit that is reborn, not its person."
"The fire and nourishment required for Nirvana and rebirth are provided by him himself, allowing his spiritual body to be reborn and his spiritual phoenix to maintain its youthful and most powerful state!"
"Isn't it ridiculous, Jiang Si? You find it ridiculous, don't you? As everyone knows, the phoenix's rebirth is equivalent to being able to live again. Everyone thinks that living a second life means being the host of the fire phoenix, even the little phoenix itself thinks so."
"Unfortunately, no. The Phoenix Clan has always pursued immortality and persecuted dragons in order to achieve their goal of becoming powerful and living forever. In fact, they are all fools."
"Those who can generate the spiritual form of the Fire Phoenix are not because of their high mental strength or physical abilities, but because they themselves are sacrifices, sacrifices chosen by the Fire Phoenix to survive in this world!"
