My name is Feng Ling. My mother is an Immortal Emperor, my father is an Immortal Emperor, and I was born as an Immortal King. Logically speaking, I should be carefree, but I have a big problem right now.
I stood in front of a life-sized mirror, looking at myself in it. The little girl in the mirror looked about seven or eight years old. She wore a fiery red dress with a phoenix totem embroidered in gold thread. She wore a necklace of nine-colored gemstones, and her long black hair was styled into two buns, adorned with exquisite hair ornaments. Long earrings dangled from her ears.
The little girl in the mirror had a pair of light golden eyes, as beautiful as gemstones. She was exquisitely beautiful and incredibly cute. This little girl was me, over ten thousand years old, yet I still looked like a seven or eight-year-old, which worried me greatly.
Especially seeing my grandmaster, who is over a million years old but still looks like a child, I became even more worried.
Will I be like my great-grandfather, never growing up?
When I think about it, I get really scared.
So I ran to ask my mother. My mother reached out and hugged me, laughing loudly. Her laughter was so beautiful, like a string of jade beads falling into a jade plate, making a crisp sound. She smelled so good. I loved it when my mother held me.
"Don't worry, you won't be like your great-grandfather. Your great-grandfather always looked like a child because he didn't want to grow up. You're just growing up a little slower than others," Mother said.
"Really? Mother, you mustn't be lying to Ling'er," I said. I don't want to stay a child forever.
Why would your mother lie to you?
After receiving my mother's assurance, I was finally relieved. Okay, I just grow a little slower than others, but I'll eventually grow as tall and beautiful as my mother. I've always thought my mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. As the daughter of the most beautiful woman in the world, even if I can't surpass her in the future, I at least can't be inferior to my mother, right?
I long to grow up, but time seems to be passing by so slowly.
I said to my mother, "Mother, could you use the power of the Reincarnation Bead to help me grow up faster?"
The mother refused, saying, "I think you're fine this way. Why go against the natural laws of growth? You're still a child. Even if I make you grow up, you'll still be a child at heart. What difference will it make?"
My mother refused my request, and I was a little unhappy, so I went to find my father.
Father smiled and patted my head. He held me in his arms and said, "Father wishes you wouldn't grow up so fast. When you grow up, you'll find Father and Mother annoying. Daughters don't stay at home forever. The thought of you getting married makes Father's heart ache."
“I don’t want to get married,” I said. “I want to stay in Phoenix Palace with Father and Mother for the rest of my life.”
"Staying in Phoenix Palace for the rest of your life is fine. Not getting married is fine too, or having someone marry into your family is also good," Father said with a smile.
"What does 'taking in a son-in-law' mean?" I asked my father.
"It means the groom will stay at our house, not you staying at the groom's house," the father explained.
I nodded as if I understood, and said with shining eyes, "I understand, just like Father."
After I said that, I saw my father's smile freeze for a moment.
After a long while, I understood why he had frozen in place. It was because he wasn't my mother's son-in-law; he wasn't even that. He was more like her lover. Although everyone knew about his relationship with my mother, he hadn't received a proper title. Luckily, my father was powerful enough; otherwise, the elders and ministers of the Phoenix Clan might have forced my mother to choose several more handsome men to fill her harem.
It was only because Father was powerful that the elders and ministers of the Phoenix Clan dared not speak up.
Poor father!
I'm extremely curious about my father's past life, especially the love-hate relationship between my mother and father, and the stories between my mother and her other lovers. Lou Munan devoured Luo Bai and my mother's other lovers, and then was reincarnated as my father. In other words, Luo Bai and my mother's other lovers can all be considered my father.
Wow!
Suddenly I have so many dads!
I was extremely curious about what kind of people they were, but unfortunately, every time I asked my mother, she wouldn't tell me.
I went to ask my father, and his face immediately darkened. My father hated his past life, he hated it very much. Whether it was Lou Munan, Luo Bai, Xu Fengzhi, or my mother's other lovers, he hated them all.
Seeing how dark my father's face was, I didn't dare ask him any more questions and could only run away as fast as I could.
Actually, I've always wanted to ask Lou Munan, why did you reincarnate with Xu Fengzhi's face instead of Luo Bai's? Luo Bai's face is clearly more handsome. If he had used Luo Bai's face, maybe I would have been even more handsome.
Although my father is also handsome, he is far inferior to Luo Bai and far inferior to my mother, which lowers my appearance standard.
Then, by chance, I saw Lou Munan's true appearance through the memory stone. Wow! His original appearance was actually comparable to Luo Bai's. I suddenly understood why my mother in my previous life, the Great Sun Golden Crow Empress, fell in love with him. He was really, really handsome, and had a completely different style from Luo Bai.
I'm getting more and more resentful. Seriously, why was Lou Munan so foolish when he was reincarnated? Why did he have to use Xu Fengzhi's face? Wouldn't it have been better if he used his own face, or Luo Bai's face?
Didn't he consider the feelings of his future children?
