Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 1: Phoenix, Phoenix, You Will Not Rest Unless You Have a Wutong Tree
Soto City. Suburbs.

A dilapidated thatched house.

The pale moonlight shone on the faded old wooden door. The night wind was cold and the desolate environment seemed a little eerie. A young man in tattered clothes curled up on a straw mat, gritting his teeth and enduring the severe pain of being burned by evil fire.

Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and seeped out from his back, making the boy wet all over.

"Squeak-"

The shabby wooden door was pushed open.

A childish voice with a hint of disappointment was heard.

"Brother Xiao, you are still so stubborn. If you refuse to find a woman, you will be possessed by evil fire and burn to death!"

"After the teacher took me to the brothel, I felt relaxed all over, and the process of venting my evil passion was not painful at all, but rather very comfortable."

"Although we are young now, the evil fire allows us to have the same functions as normal men. This kind of thing is nothing more than a matter of time. Isn't it necessary to do it when we grow up?"

"Why are you so stubborn?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao opened his eyes hazily.

Following the sound, I saw a fair-skinned, slightly wretched-looking fat boy, accompanied by a tall, middle-aged man with a hooked nose.

It was Ma Hongjun and Flanders.

"Hongjun, everyone has their own aspirations. Even if I die, I would rather die than do such a dirty thing, and I don't want to be controlled by the evil fire like a beast."

Lin Xiao's voice was weak.

Sweating took away a lot of water, making him feel a little exhausted and his lips chapped.

Flanders frowned:
"If you think the women in the brothel are dirty, I can help you clean them. You have two choices. The first is that I will spend money to buy the innocence of a commoner's daughter for you. The second is that I will find you an older girl as your fiancée, and you will be responsible for her."

"Think about it carefully. The evil fire has been suppressed until now, and it is close to the limit of what your body can reach."

"When the evil fire erupts, your fate will be either self-immolation or explosion."

Done.

Flanders waited quietly for Lin Xiao's response.

He observed the young man curled up on the straw mat in front of him.

He has a pretty face and a heroic look between his brows. Although he is in a desperate situation now, one can still see the pride in his heart and he does not seem to waver in his principles.

He's a good candidate to be a soul master...

Lin Xiao's awakened martial soul is the same as Ma Hongjun's, both are the Evil Fire Phoenix, and his Evil Fire Phoenix is even more ferocious than Ma Hongjun's.

When the phoenix flame appeared, even Flanders couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

But this is normal.

After all, compared to Ma Hongjun's innate soul power of level eight, Lin Xiao has innate full soul power.

It’s a pity that he is too stubborn.

Do we really have to stick to the bottom line and not even be able to make some adjustments?
Although Lin Xiao was weak, his voice was extremely firm.

"I don't choose either of these two options!"

Lin Xiao couldn't do such a thing as spending money to buy the innocence of a commoner's daughter and then ruthlessly withdrawing from it.

Lin Xiao also couldn't accept getting engaged to a girl he didn't know just for the sake of having sex.

"Then you can only wait for death!!!"

There was anger in Flanders' voice.

This Lin Xiao is so stupid!

He thinks the women in the brothel are dirty, so why not find him a clean one?
Wouldn't it be convenient to find a commoner's daughter, give her money, and not even have to take any responsibility, and then just get out of it?

Doesn't he know that he is a noble soul master, and yet he still cares about the innocence of ordinary people?
Isn’t it an honor for ordinary people to be able to sleep with a soul master?
You are obviously a young man, why are you so pedantic!
The night wind was howling, making the holes in the window paper make strange noises. It was drizzling outside, and the raindrops hit the blue bricks, dripping.

A faint smile appeared on Lin Xiao's pale little face.

"Then die."

He spoke calmly, and even though he gritted his teeth from time to time due to the severe pain, he had a kind of detachment that disregarded life and death.

I tried to persuade Lin Xiao with all my heart for a long time, but Lin Xiao just didn't know what was good for him.

Flanders was furious:
"Just because of those so-called principles, you're willing to give up your life?!"

Lin Xiao's expression was indifferent.

"It is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace." Flanders' expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"it is good!"

"It is better to die in glory than live in disgrace!"

Ma Hongjun felt dissatisfied.

"Brother Xiao, I kindly asked the teacher to save you, but you ignored me and even said something like "It's better to die in glory than live in disgrace". Do you have to act so noble?"

"For the sake of so-called nobleness, you are willing to give up your own life?"

"Brother Xiao, I always thought you were smart, but now it seems that you are the most pedantic and stubborn one."

"I don't care about you!"

Ma Hongjun was a little worried. If Lin Xiao became Flanders' disciple, he might become a student that his teacher valued more, and his own position would be in jeopardy.

At this moment, Lin Xiao offended Flanders.

He was still stubborn and refused to vent his anger. Considering their past relationship, he thought persuading her once was the limit and would not try again.

But Flanders still loves talent.

He had seen the power of Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix spirit. Compared to Ma Hongjun, Lin Xiao would be even stronger. It's just that he was too stupid to think flexibly.

"Lin Xiao, I'll give you one last chance."

"This evil fire, are you going to release it or not?"

Lin Xiao did not answer.

Close your eyes and whisper softly.

"The phoenix soars thousands of feet high, and it won't rest unless it finds a place to rest."

The phoenix will not roost except on the paulownia tree, will not eat except on bamboo fruits, and will not drink except from sweet springs.

How could Lin Xiao allow himself to fall into depravity?

Flanders color changed suddenly!

This Lin Xiao is really unrepentant!

"Forget it, everyone has his own destiny, you can do whatever you want!"

"Hongjun, let's go!"

Ma Hongjun pretended to be serious and shook his head.

He looked down at Lin Xiao with some pity.

"What a pity, what a pity."

"Brother Xiao, you always think you are smarter than me."

“But actually you are the stupidest one.”

After saying that, Ma Hongjun shook his head and followed Flanders out.

Inside the thatched house.

Only Lin Xiao was left.

He gritted his teeth and endured the tremendous pain.

It felt as if all my internal organs were being burned, and it was worse than death.

"I, Lin Xiao, have traveled through this world for six years. Am I going to die like this?"

Lin Xiao was really unwilling.

He was originally a college student on Blue Star, but accidentally traveled to Douluo Continent and became an abandoned baby outside Soto City, growing up eating food from hundreds of families.

He was young and sensible, and with the wisdom from his previous life, he improved the lives of his fellow villagers.

But on the day when his martial soul awakened, he awakened the same evil fire phoenix as Ma Hongjun.

Lin Xiao, who was born with full soul power, felt like the sky was falling.

"If possible, I would rather not have this talent and just live with a clear conscience."

Lin Xiao, who had received higher education and had been chaste since childhood, could not accept the fact that he had gone to a brothel and committed such a beastly act...

He was afraid of seeing his ugly self being dominated by the evil fire!
