Liu Rushuang creased her elegant brows and looked at the magnificent man in front of her. His eyes were picturesque, long, slender and deep. His thin lips had a demonic, enchanting smile.
“Ze, you and I really were a couple in our past lives,” she said with furrowed brows.
“What were we like in our past lives?” Han Moze said whilst he stroked Liu Rushuang’s smiling face.
Liu Rushuang thought back to every happy and beautiful memory of herself and Han Moze together, and couldn’t help but smile.
Han Moze hugged Liu Rushuang tightly and kissed her endlessly.
Liu Rushuang looked at Han Moze with considerably kinder eyes, as many images of them previously together popped to mind.
Later in the afternoon, summoned the white-feathered bird with her heart. The white-feathered bird happily cried, *Chirp chirp…* “How may I help you?”
Liu Rushuang sat at the table with her hands on her head and blinked. “You say that I’m the fire phoenix. By that, do you mean that I was originally a phoenix?” She asked.
*Chirp chirp…* “I only remember what is in your mind. I don’t know about anything else…” chirped the fluttering little white-feathered bird.
Liu Rushuang slightly twitched the corner of her lips and blinked before asking another question. “You say that besides yourself, there are two other souls. Where should I find them?”
*Chirp chirp* “I don’t know…” cried the white-feathered bird, as she shook her head.
Liu Rushuang took a deep breath. The white-feathered bird had already given her memories, so she knew that the white-feathered bird had been looking for her for a really long time; such a long time in fact, she lost track of time.
Her two other souls must have turned into animals. How was she going to find them?
Liu Rushuang couldn’t resist but reach her arm out and rub her temples. How about she go look for them…
The white-feathered bird took one glance at the Liu Rushuang and knew what she was thinking. *Chirp chirp…*
“If you don’t find the pieces of your soul, you will one day burn in a roaring fire because you are just a mortal. You cannot take such intense flames.” *Chirp chirp…*
Many visions flashed vaguely flashed across her mind, but she wasn’t sure what they meant. In the white-feathered bird’s memories, there were six realms in this world; realm of the gods, realm of the celestials, realm of the humans, realm of the ghouls, realm of the demons, and the realm of the devil. She had been to them all but she couldn’t remember any of it.
Liu Rushuang rubbed the middle of her brows and gave up trying to remember. She figured it would be better to go with the flow. She should firstly send people to get intel and find out where there are animals that can understand humans.
She should first find a way to regain her memories. Otherwise, she who knows when she w ould burn to death one day during the intense fire she felt every year. Wu Xiyu used to comfort her by saying that when the time comes, she would stop burning.
Liu Rushuang let the white-feathered bird enter her body again, then she shut her eyes and conjured her inner breath to turn her eyes black. She didn’t want other people to see her as a monster.
A few days later, Wuxin arrived at the Fallen Phoenix palace to report back on the spy who discovered someone who could understand animals.
“Reporting to her majesty the Empress, someone found intel that the mayor of White Cloud City, Nangong Ba has recently gained a red eagle. They say that the red eagle can understand what Nangong Ba says. Nangong Ba likes the eagle very much and often carries it with him.”
Listening at the table, Han Moze’s eyes looked transfixed. “It looks like I’ll have to take a trip to White Cloud City,” Liu Rushuang said flatly.
Han Moze looked at Liu Rushuang with an affectionate, warm glow in his eyes. “I’ll go with you,” he said in a gentle voice.
Liu Rushuang grinned awkwardly. “Do I have the power to refuse?”
“No!”
