The message jade pendant was expensive in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. It worked best among all message tools. As long as Ye Xiao cracked the jade pendant, he could have a live communication with the Golden Phoenix King. It was a shame that the jade pendant was a one-time thing. After the communication, the jade pendant was gone. Ye Xiao only had one piece, so he must use it wisely.
When the Golden Phoenix King and the Purple Dragon King came last time, they didnât bring many of the message jade pendants.
It was quite famous as an expensive tool in history. Ye Xiao decided to use it anyway because he really had to know whether the two kids were in a good situation or not. He didnât want the two babies to suffer only because of the great talent they were born withâŠ
As a matter of fact, Ye Xiao was anxious like hell because the dragon and the phoenix were abnormalâŠ
After all, he was the father of the two kids. He had gotten serious about it!
âŠ
The Golden Phoenix King had come to the Monarchâs hall with anger and left with happiness. After she left the Monarchâs Hall, she had been waiting for Ye Xiaoâs message. She had left her child to Ye Xiao for the childâs future, but⊠She missed her baby. It was reasonable.
Because she missed the child so much, she looked languish.
She became anxious recently.
After all, the eggs should have hatched. It had been one full year!
In fact, the eggs should hatch six months earlier. However, she didnât get the message from Ye Xiao. She was concerned, and she was suffering.
She wanted to go to the Monarchâs Hall and asked Ye Xiao, but it was too far away after all. She would have to travel across two Sky Kingsâ territories. After all, the Limitless Ocean was different. The Heavenâs Leaf had returned to the world, and it was pointing at the Limitless Ocean. She didnât want to do anything recklessâŠ
She was the leader of a clan, so she had her responsibilities as the leader. She went to hunt Chihuo with the Purple Dragon King, and that was already a mistake because it wasted her too much time. There were many things she had to finish before leaving the clan again. That was why she had been suppressing her emotion in her heart. In fact, never there was a day she didnât blame Ye Xiao for not contacting her!
âBastard! What happens to my child? You should have sent a message to me earlierâŠâ
âWhy canât you care for a parentâs concern?â
âWe trusted you!â
After that, the Hall of Returning Nature and the Monarchâs Hall had a war. Ye Xiao had gone missing. The Golden Phoenix King was more anxious.
When she got the news about the victory of the Monarchâs Hall, she took a breath of relief. Others had brought up the problem of Ye Xiao commanding a lot of beasts to fight the war, but the Golden Phoenix King and the Purple Dragon King forbade their people to talk about it anymore.
âHe can command the beasts because he is good. It has nothing to do with you. Yes, the beasts havenât been seen for ages, but it doesnât mean they canât return to the world. The Heavenâs Leaf has been missing for a long time, and hasnât it come back to the world now?â
âExtinct? What should we blame Ye Xiao for?â
âYe Xiao brings back the extinct species to the world. So many new beasts are going to join us now. Isnât it great? Calm down. Donât make a fuss. Ye Xiao should be treated as our savior!â
The Golden Phoenix King and the Purple Dragon King together made an invincible force in the Glaze Sky. Nobody dared to do anything to Ye Xiao.
âThe two kings always love their clans more than anything else. How come they donât seem the same now?â
âIt doesnât make sense!â
The leader of the Glaze Sky was confused.
The two kings couldnât care less about him though.
As long as their children could have a bright life, nothing else mattered. Ye Xiao was closest to the children, so he was closest to the two kings too. The two clans would never stand with other humans against Ye Xiao!
It would be a joke if they did!
The Golden Phoenix King was in her palace, holding the jade pendant in her hand. She frowned. She was thinking maybe she should crack the jade pendant to contact Ye Xiao.
At this moment.
The jade pendant broke in her hand!
After that, something rose up from the broken jade pendant.
The Golden Phoenix King stood up and said, âYe Xiao? Monarch Ye? Is that you?â
She was anxious like hell.
âWhat if the peasant doesnât know how to use the jade pendant? If I donât say something, and if he doesnât talk back to me, the communication will be shut down automaticallyâŠâ
As the jade pendant broke, the Golden Phoenix King started talking without a stop⊠She had to let Ye Xiao hear her voice and make him talk back.
âYe Xiao? Doctor? What is it? I am the Golden Phoenix King⊠Talk to me! How is my child? Has the egg hatched? What is the situation? Talk to me! We need to build up a stable communication nowâŠâ
The Golden Phoenix King kept asking questions.
Ye Xiao just broke the jade pendant, and then he heard the voice. It was his first time, so he was surprised.
âWhy is she so anxious?â
âI blinked my eyes, and dozens of questions were asked⊠How am I going to answer them? Come on⊠I am the Lord Monarch of the Monarchâs Hall. I do know how to use this jade pendant. Donât you underestimate me!â
âAhem⊠It⊠It is me. Ye Xiao.â Ye Xiao said.
It was his first time to talk to somebody while he was actually talking to nothingâŠ
The Golden Phoenix King wasnât wrong. It was reasonable!
The Golden Phoenix King took a breath of relief.
âThe erhuo heard me⊠Such a relief.â
(Erhuoâs off-screen voice: âCome on⊠How many times? Erhuo is the most beautiful word in the world. Donât you use it like it was an abusive word! D*mn you all!â)
âDoes it hatch?â The Golden Phoenix King sounded nervous.
âThey did⊠Ahem⊠They were born earlier today. That is why I contact youâŠâ Ye Xiao said.
âToday? How come?â The Golden Phoenix King felt wrong. She said, âAccording to the date, they should have been out for quite some days. Why so late? Ye Xiao, what is wrong? Did you do anything?â
She sounded fierce!
Ye Xiao wasnât surprised. He sighed and said, âYour majesty, they didnât get any problem while hatching⊠They are lively.â
The Golden Phoenix King felt relieved and smiled. She said, âThatâs good. Now, is it a boy or a girl?â
Ye Xiao thought,
âYou mean male or femaleâŠâ
He said, âIt is a girl. Beautiful and clever. Sheâs talented.â
The Golden Phoenix King smiled gently. âGood. Ye Xiao, thank you for your help. When we meet next time, I will thank you properlyâŠâ
The Golden Phoenix King was talking with formalities.
Ye Xiao felt awkward. He hesitated in speech. âIt has come out⊠It is healthy and clever⊠ButâŠâ
âBut what?â The Golden Phoenix King sensed the smell of trouble.
âHe contacts me because there is a problem⊠I shouldnât have left my kid to him⊠Is my child going to have a miserable future instead of now?â
âThere is something abnormal about the kid. It is different from what I heardâŠâ Ye Xiao hesitated. âWell⊠I⊠I donât understandâŠâ
âWhat is it?â The Golden Phoenix King said, âWhat is abnormal about her? What is wrong?â
âIt is⊠You know⊠The Crown of Phoenix⊠ItâŠâ Ye Xiao didnât know how to say it.
âI see.â The Golden Phoenix King smiled bitterly. âShe has less than three feathers, right?â
âOh. The kid should have died in the egg. Now she is healthy. I wonât ask more. I wonât blame Ye Xiao. I can accept that my child has less than three feathers in the Crown of Phoenix.â
âThat old man should be blamed!â
The Golden Phoenix King was upset. Ye Xiao talked again, and what he said astonished the Golden Phoenix KingâŠ
âThe feathers⊠Yes. She has more than three feathers.â Ye Xiao said, âShe doesnât have less than three, but more than three⊠Much moreâŠâ
The surprise nearly shook the Golden Phoenix Kingâs heart into an explosion. âMore? Thatâs good! Thatâs great⊠Listen, Monarch Ye. It is normal. It is reasonable that you donât know about the Crown of Phoenix⊠Phoenix can connect the sky and the earth, use all kinds of elements in the world. The ancestor of our kind has the five spiritual lights and the Yin qi and Yang qi. Some believed that she was the masterpiece of gods. However, after her, phoenixes mostly have only one attribution. In fact, over half of us only have fire attribution. The truth is, the more elements we can use, the more powerful we are. It is a gift. We are born with the limitation and the potential. The Netherworld Phoenix had five feathers, so she has more potential than othersâŠâ
Ye Xiao didnât know what to say.
âI know! Who says I donât?â
The Golden Phoenix King talked a lot, and then she said, âI guess my child has four feathers. Am I right?â
âWell, she has moreâŠâ Ye Xiao said.
âIf she only has four, I wonât worry about it, will I?â
The Golden Phoenix King was shocked. She asked, âDoes she have five?â
âI was born with four⊠Is my child even better than her mother?â
âIf she has five, she almost has the potential as the legendary Netherworld Phoenix! She will be able to reach the Infinity Stage!â
âWell⊠No, she doesnât have five!â Ye Xiao said.
The Golden Phoenix King froze.
âNot three, not four, not fiveâŠâ
âWhat is this?â
The Golden Phoenix King asked with a shaking voice, âDoes she have seven?â
âAccording to a story, the phoenix could have five spiritual lights and Yin Qi and Yang Qi. That means a phoenix can have seven feathers⊠This is crazy, but it is possibleâŠâ
âWhat if my daughter has seven feathers?â
The Golden Phoenix King skipped six and directly said seven. The Golden Phoenix King believed seven was the top. No phoenix could have more than that!
Ye Xiao said, âNo⊠She has more than sevenâŠâ
The Golden Phoenix King was scared. Seven feathers were the most. She said, âJust tell me how many, will you?â
Ye Xiao coughed and said, âWell⊠I donât know if it is a good thing⊠She has quite a lotâŠâ
âHow many? Can you just say it? Why hesitate?â The Golden Phoenix King shouted.
The Phoenix Place was shaking because she talked so loudly.
âAhem⊠NineâŠâ Ye Xiao said, âThatâs crazy. I never knew a phoenix could have nine feathers. It is more than any other phoenix. She has nine. I have never heard of this⊠Isnât it abnormal?â
The Golden Phoenix King didnât respond.
It seemed she was gone.
Ye Xiao knew it would shock her, so he said, âThis is the situation. I checked all the books I have⊠Still, I donât know what this is about⊠How come she has nine feathers? You mentioned seven. Why? Does the best of your kind only have seven feathers? Well, the kid only has two more. Thatâs not so unreasonable. Look. The middle one of the nine feathers is the longest. Four more on the right, which are shorter, while four more on the left, which are shorter too⊠Anyway, that is it. Is it a bad sign? It looks pretty thoughâŠâ
Ye Xiao was anxious, and he tried to make it sound good.
The Golden Phoenix King didnât make a sound!
It seemed she had leftâŠ
Ye Xiao said, âYour majesty? Hello? Are you there? What is going on? Are you okay? Talk to me⊠Say something⊠Come on⊠What is wrong? Where are you? D*mnâŠâ
He kept talking to the phoenix but got no response. It was silence.
He freaked out. âPhoenix! D*mn you⊠Say something⊠She is not only your daughter but also mine! You⊠Are you deaf? Come on! I will still love her even if she is sick! I donât care! Say something!â
Something was shaking in the air and then disappeared.
The communication channel was shut down. It was a high-level communication tool, but it couldnât last forever!
Ye Xiao looked so angry. He hit the table and broke it into pieces. âDamn it! She is mad! Why did she stop talking all of a sudden? F*ck! What the hell is wrong? She should tell me something! I am not one of her kind! How am I supposed to know what is wrong with the child? F*ck! It wastes my f*cking time⊠F*ck!â
He was so angry, and couldnât stop talking abusive words.
âWe were just talking⊠then she just stoppedâŠâ
âShe told me nothingâŠâ
He was so angry about it!
âWhat the hell is going on?â
âDid she just ignore me? Did she neglect me? How could she?â
âThis is wrong! How is she the leader of such a great clan?â Ye Xiao said with a sigh, âShe doesnât even care about her own child. She just left after hearing the situation of the child⊠Sheâs a lousy mother⊠How is she going to take care of my baby phoenix? She can only count on me⊠She is lucky that she didnât need to stay with her mother⊠Poor kidâŠâ
He sighed for a while and took out the dragon jade pendant.
âThe Golden Phoenix King is a lousy parent. I hope the Purple Dragon King is different!â
Ye Xiao looked forward to talking to the Purple Dragon KingâŠ
âŠ
He didnât know what really happened. After he said nine, the Golden Phoenix King passed out because she was astonished!
She didnât hear what Ye Xiao said afterward!

âNine feathers of the Crown of Phoenix?â
Ye Xiao didnât know what it meant. He learned a lot of things, but the phoenix clan was a mystery. Ye Xiao didnât know.
