Chapter 24: Chapter 24 "Nirvana Fire"
Responding to Sha Lou’s disrespect toward Zhao Zen Wu, Sha Vejun glared at his son, "Lou’er, you have crossed the line here."
However, his next words only added to Zhao Zen Wu’s fury. "But I liked your idea." He shifted his gaze from Sha Lou to Zhao Zen Wu.
"If you are really that afraid of some nobody, then you should accept my son’s offer and let your daughter be his concubine. The idea isn’t bad, Zen Wu."
Zhao Zen Wu’s peak Golden Core realm aura burst forth. He looked at Sha Lou, "If I want, I can crush hundreds like you without moving from my place."
However, his aura was interrupted by another Peak Golden Core realm aura. "Zen Wu, don’t forget where you are at this moment. This is my place, and the one you are threatening is my blood."
Zhao Zen Wu’s eyes widened. He had speculated this but wasn’t sure until he felt it himself. "Half-Step Earth Master!" he thought but didn’t utter his disbelief.
The people from Zhao Zen Wu’s side also had infuriated expressions upon seeing a junior humiliating a senior while City Lord Sha, instead of stopping or apologizing, was mocking their city lord.
However, as clever a man as Zhao Zen is, he sighed. Not because he still cared about the lives of the people present here, but because he already knew the outcome. He had still agreed to help Xuan because of what had transpired between them earlier.
He knew how arrogant Sha Vejun was, and that person like him wouldn’t listen even after trying to convince him.
"If that’s your choice, then I hope you won’t regret it, Sha Vejun." His voice was clear as he gave a deadly glare at Sha Lou, who was unaffected as he was shielded by Sha Vejun’s Qi.
...
Long Wei, still after being reprimanded by Bai Hua, couldn’t stay calm and once again walked up to the door. At that same moment, it opened and Ru Feng emerged with a smile.
Suddenly Long Wei had a realization, "You knew we were waiting outside; you roasted chicken." She cursed and rushed inside toward Xuan.
Bai Hua had a silly smile on her face as she looked at an impatient Long Wei, then looked at Ru Feng. "So this is how we reunite, after you went to prepare something for husband? Is this what you prepared, huh?"
Her tone was stern. She believed that if Ru Feng had taken her along that day, Ru Feng wouldn’t have had to suffer to this day.
Ru Feng had a guilty expression. "Sister Bai, I just didn’t know they came with ulterior motives, and I..."
"You don’t have to give explanations, Ru Feng, but remember that we sisters are together for a reason. Never, ever take any decision which will hurt husband."
Bai Hua interrupted her; she knew Ru Feng felt guilty but the past wouldn’t change, and the only thing she wanted was for Ru Feng to not repeat something that would hurt Xuan again.
Ru Feng nodded. She realized that Xuan must not have liked it, so she could only listen as Bai Hua, like a big sister, reprimanded her.
Meanwhile inside, Long Wei jumped on Xuan who was resting without clothes, with only his lower half hidden beneath the soft, thin quilt.
She complained, "So you left me outside for this, husband?" Her tone was playful as she moved her fingers on his toned chest.
"It just happened, it’s not like I planned for this," Xuan answered, knowing she wouldn’t listen like Ru Feng and Bai Hua.
"Not planned! But I had planned this for such a long time and you are still not fulfilling my wish. Am I not as important as your Feng-Feng?"
Xuan chuckled, placing his hands on her slender waist. "When did I say such a thing? You all are the same to me, and don’t forget that you got the first ride."
Long Wei’s face flushed red, but instead of being embarrassed, she bluntly spoke, "But it won’t count as you were not the same as you are now, so why don’t I slip my body out of these clothes and you fulfill your promise..." She even began to loosen her robe when Bai Hua stopped her.
"Seriously! You have nothing else on your mind except this, you pervert woman." Bai Hua pulled Long Wei away from Xuan.
Xuan could only watch as the two women began bickering with each other.
Ru Feng then looked at the dark sky, knowing that whatever would happen now, it wouldn’t be easy.
"You two stop!" She yelled; her body covered in flames. Though it didn’t harm her, seeing this, Long Wei and Bai Hua both had the same astonished expressions.
"You have awakened it!"
Long Wei was the first one to react. She could feel Ru Feng’s aura was now different from before.
Her Vermillion bloodline had evolved into the Phoenix Bloodline, and it was all due to one thing. Long Wei gulped, looking at Xuan, she muttered in serious gaze, "I’m next once all of this ends today."
Though she was already of the pure dragon lineage, and already had her "quality time" with Xuan, she didn’t awaken anything that day except for Xuan, who only got the memories of his life on Earth back.
Xuan had a grin on his face, and when he flexed his fist, the same fire burned in his hand.
"Fire of Nirvana!"
Bai Hua muttered in shock. She was more surprised when Xuan imitated the fire in his hand than a moment ago when Ru Feng revealed it, which was indeed not just an imitation, and she knew that very well.
"Husband! You can now use the Nirvana Fire, too?"
Nirvana Fire is the sacred fire that only a Phoenix can use. It is the fire balanced between destruction and resurrection.
It is capable of burning the world to a crisp while also having the ability to resurrect the dead Phoenix, a miracle of the Heavens that no one can fathom.
Long Wei wasn’t as surprised as Bai Hua, as she had already witnessed Xuan using the dragon techniques like a true dragon, but this was different from some martial or cultivation techniques.
It’s like the true dragon awakening that is limited to dragons only. The same was true for the Nirvana Fire, which was only limited to the Phoenix, so that even the Vermillion Bird bloodline, which was considered close to the Phoenix, could not imitate the Nirvana Fire.
