277 Phoenix’s Nirvana
Risking the danger of being pecked by the phoenix, the emperor walked up to Jiang Xi and reached out to untie her right arm, which had been deliberately wrapped in layers.
“It’s me who has let you down. It’s me who has owed you since you were young. In the future, I will love you more, okay…” Therefore, the emperor prayed in his heart that the heavens would take pity on him and dote on him.
Jiang Xi looked at the emperor with a smile, and a terrifying light flashed in her eyes. “Someone once said the same thing to me, and then…” ‘Director, are you alright?’ Later on, the director of the mental hospital became a famous figure in the country. He had seen doctors who cured mental illnesses, but he had never seen a doctor who was led astray by mental illnesses, let alone when he was seriously ill.
The emperor suddenly shivered. In the blink of an eye, the veil on Jiang Xi’s arm was untied, and a red flower was revealed.
“It smells so good! It’s the fragrance from twenty years ago! The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.”
“It smells so good. It’s the smell from twenty years ago. A sick person can be alive and kicking for several days after smelling it. Quick, quick, quick, let my father come out and take a few breaths!”
A strange scene appeared in the entire Jing City. Everyone kept breathing in and out into the air, as if they were retarded. All the flowers in Jing City were also quietly blooming their own brilliant lives. The city was filled with exotic fragrances and flowers bloomed. The era of mental illness was about to arrive.
The snow was falling heavily, and Jing City was covered in a silvery-white color. There was a strange fragrance in the air, which made people feel excited. The streets of Jing City were full of people who were breathing heavily. The frozen grass in the corner of the street suddenly shook, and then quickly recovered its green color.
“Wow, mother, the tree I planted bloomed! It’s full of flowers!”
“Mother, there are a lot of morning glory flowers on our roof.”
Jing City was filled with surprises. No matter what season the plants were, they all bloomed in an instant. As far as the eye could see, the snow-white top was surrounded by thousands of plants, and flowers bloomed everywhere. The phoenix spread its wings and flew away. It put away the frivolous look on its face and suddenly became serious. It let out a long cry and flew around Jiang Xi’s head. Its colorful feathers reflected a terrifying light in the snow.
As the phoenix’s wings flapped, snowflakes were brought up. As the wings flapped, the snowflakes actually drifted along with the phoenix’s wings and surrounded the phoenix. It was like a miracle. It was unknown if it was an illusion, but the phoenix’s entire body seemed to be on fire as it kept circling above Jiang Xi. The phoenix’s cries became more and more intense, each one more rapid than the last.
The imperial preceptor’s expression suddenly changed and his eyes widened, “Phoenix, come back! No!” The imperial preceptor’s face darkened and his eyes were filled with a rare solemness. The phoenix was a sacred object that the king had raised for many years, and the saintess was counting on it to create miracles. It was said that phoenixes were reborn from fire and had to go through Nirvana first before they could be reborn. With a phoenix, one could protect the country for thousands of generations. The saintess even raised the phoenix herself. Even people who had heaven’s blight would not have the time to find it. Every generation’s saintess was in poor health, and most of them could not live past the age of 25. Only by mating with someone who had the heaven’s blight could they extend their lives. Whenever the country found someone who had heaven’s blight, they would give all they had to the saintess’ bed. However, it was very difficult to find someone who had heaven’s blight, and only one saintess in each generation had found one.
The saintess’ life was very precious. The phoenix she raised was something that the entire country was looking forward to. However, for some reason, the saintess was about to reach the end of her life in five years, but the phoenix refused to be reborn. Who knew that it would be reborn in the fire and snow at this time!
The imperial preceptor was terrified. He felt that things were going out of control.
“Wow, the phoenix’s body is on fire!” A little boy widened his eyes and pointed at the sky. “What a huge fire! The phoenix is on fire!”
The emperor was stunned. Was it so difficult for him to acknowledge his daughter? He was the emperor, the emperor! The emperor always felt that ever since his daughter returned, he seemed to have become transparent. Now, even a phoenix was stealing his limelight.
“The heavens are merciful, bless our country!”
“The heavens have come, the heavens have come, the heavens have come to see the princess again!”
“God, please bless our country with good weather, prosperity, and peace…” All the people in the city swarmed to the city gate. More and more people came to pray for blessings and kneel to the phoenix.
