After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

The Pig-Dragon is a mythical beast with a trace of dragon blood. It is a low-grade dragon species, and it is rare for one to have cultivated to this level. Among this group of mythical beasts whose origins are unknown and whose names are not known, its physical qualities are top-notch, and it is also the most intelligent.

Before the white flames engulfed his entire body, he made a decisive move, severing his burning right arm, thus escaping death and saving his life.

He has guts, but that's about it.

Bai Feng narrowed her snow-white phoenix eyes, tilted her head slightly, and looked the brave man who had cut off his own arm up and down.

After a while, she looked at the pig-dragon's appearance and clicked her tongue in amazement:

"Tsk! Although I'm selecting family members as subordinates, I don't just take any ugly or deformed person! Look at you, fat head and big ears, your thighs are almost as thick as my body, I don't know how many meals you eat a day, can you even be fed?"

"Alright, you're the only one left after one round. How long did you last under my phoenix fire just now...?"

The white-haired girl tilted her head back, raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment, but didn't come to any conclusion. She hadn't bothered to remember it, but it wasn't a big problem.

Hurry~

A white flame ignited from her fingertips, like the flame of a lit candle.

"I'll count you as half an incense stick's time. Now, let's continue. If you can last for half an incense stick's time, I'll consider you to have passed. How about that?"

The white flames flickered, and the faint light made the smile on the girl's face beside him appear exceptionally bright. However, to the dragon pig, it was as if death itself was smiling at him.

Before his arm was severed, he definitely hadn't even lasted half an incense stick's time. How could he possibly endure being burned by this white phoenix fire for another half an incense stick's time?!

He will die.

The phoenix was deliberately teasing him, wanting to see his ugly state under the fire, which is why it made those remarks.

Even knowing this, the fat on Longzhu's face twitched, but he didn't lash out, after all, it was their stronghold.

"What? Then let's begin now." Bai Feng slowly approached him, holding a white flame.

Compared to the towering figure of the Dragon Pig, Bai Feng was petite, barely reaching his waist. Yet, even facing such a small creature...

But he was so frightened that he trembled and turned pale.

As the white-clad girl approached, the dragon-pig's cloudy eyes widened, revealing a glint of fear. He clutched his neatly severed arm, activating his talent. For someone like him, losing arms and legs was commonplace; he could regrow them with a single thought.

Dragons are known for their incredible regenerative abilities; they can survive even if their heads are twisted 180 degrees.

However, the severed arm remained unchanged, showing no sign of regeneration whatsoever. It was as if the very concept of an arm had been erased from existence. With the soul as the bone, the soul had been burned away, and no amount of physical healing could save it.

wrong!

The Phoenix Companion Election wasn't like this in previous years; not so many demons died.

It's easy for ordinary phoenix followers to pass through. Even if you are incompatible with the fire path, as long as you can withstand the burning of phoenix fire for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, you are considered qualified.

The conditions are lenient, but the number of people is limited. Naturally, among those who pass through, the shorter ones are taller, and there are few casualties. After all, the phoenix is ​​not a brutal race.

Today's selection was the same as usual, except that the phoenix, as the main character, was different.

Before entering, the Phoenix Clan had repeatedly warned that the white phoenix fire was special and could be life-threatening; once inside, life or death was irrelevant.

The charred corpses lying on the ground all heard the voices enter.

Ultimately, they became familiars, and their greed for immortality overcame their inner fears. In their eyes, the more dangerous the phoenix of a different species was, the stronger the power they would gain after becoming familiars.

After all, the reason why the Phoenix Clan is revered to such a high status is largely due to its coveted and terrifying immortality.

Now, this immortality can be applied to myself, greatly increasing my healing ability and lifespan.

Even those who were with him and touched the flames screamed in agony, unable to withstand the burning, and turned into charred corpses.

Their bodies remained unshaken. Before experiencing it for themselves, they all thought, what if they were one in ten thousand, the chosen demons who could withstand the white phoenix fire?

In the midst of the struggle between all races, the demon race, without a background or support, is nothing more than cannon fodder. Rather than being caught in the crossfire and killed, it's better to take a gamble.

It is precisely because of this unrealistic idea that one after another they fall without realizing it.

Finally, only the dragon-pig remained. Suddenly, it looked up in alarm and cut off its arm to survive.

Unlike those who could only fight to the death and seek the Phoenix Clan as their backer, he had a backup plan: he possessed the blood of the Dragon Clan.

Although it's rare, it came knocking on our door. Considering we're both from the same dragon family, we couldn't just sit idly by and it could still play a role.

He can't die here. This guy in front of him is a monster... a terrifying monster!

Under the pressure of the White Phoenix girl's relentless approach, Pig Dragon decisively raised his hand and shouted to the crowd:

"I give up! What family? I'm done with it! Let me out..."

Pig Dragon stopped talking abruptly, because the girl in front of him kicked him in the stomach after hearing his question.

The girl's delicate feet collided with her heavy belly, which absorbed much of the force, causing her to stumble backward.

The force was weaker than the dragon pig had expected. The white phoenix girl was bounced back and took a few steps. However, this did not conceal her arrogant arrogance.

"Ah! Get out? You think you can just come and go as you please on Phoenix Clan's territory? You wish! You've wasted so much of my time watching this boring farce."

"What's done is done; how can one not follow it? Enough talk, it's only half an incense stick's time; it'll be over in the blink of an eye."

With a blink of an eye? The past isn't just his short life, is it?!

Seeing the white phoenix girl with a playful smile approaching him little by little, the pig-dragon trembled, realizing that he would not be able to escape without being burned by the white flames.

My heart sank, and I felt that everything was over.

Lord Dragon is above!

For the sake of his bloodline, please save your poor dragon sons and grandsons!

Or, it would be great if a meteorite fell from the sky and crushed this demon in front of us!

Perhaps the pig-dragon's prayers were answered.

Under the huge ancient sycamore tree, a figure suddenly appeared and crashed down towards him like a free fall.

The approaching white flames paused, and the white phoenix girl also noticed the abnormality. She looked up at the black dot falling from the sky.

"What the hell..."

The approaching figure quickly drew closer, its brown eyes meeting the snow-white eyes, and the white-phoenix girl was taken aback.

next moment.

Peng!

The dark figure descended, stirring up a cloud of dust that obscured the view inside.

Chapter Sixty-Seven, Phoenix

"Cough cough..."

Amidst billowing dust and smoke, Xiao Yu, who had been descending from the sky for an unknown period of time, landed with a perilous thud.

It landed and landed in something soft. Although it was startling, it was not actually hurt.

"That tapir and this dog system must be in cahoots! Luckily, there's a cushion underneath, so it's not too bad. Hmm, it feels nice, soft..."

His large hand reached down and explored, following the exquisite curves, until it touched a raised mound and pinched it.

But... the soft, jelly-like texture coming from my palm... this feeling feels a little familiar, like...

Realizing what was happening, Xiao Yu's hand froze, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on the back of his broad hand.

He stiffly looked down and saw a pair of fiery phoenix eyes staring fiercely at him.

"Um...hello?"

"Fuck you!"

Peng!

The white flames, ignited by the sudden burst of heat, surged towards the man sitting on its stomach.

The fair-skinned girl's face turned bright red. This guy actually dared to... actually dared to touch her there.

Burn him to death!

Burn to ashes!

Even your ashes have been scattered.

however……

Wow! This fire... Are you my wife?

A large hand emerged from the spewing white flames, waving it left and right as if swatting away flies, and the white flames that the demons tried to avoid were gently extinguished.

"..."

The white flames gradually dissipated, revealing the man's puzzled face.

"Wife?! You bastard who fell from the sky, who's your wife? Get off me right now!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's astonishing address, the white phoenix girl's eyes widened, her heart filled with shock at the fact that the person on her body was unaffected by her phoenix fire.

What's wrong with this guy... Is she seeing things?

Hearing the girl's shouts, Xiao Yu suddenly realized why she said it was so soft underneath; it turned out someone was padding it.

At the same time, he only realized now that during all those years in the dream, he had never asked the white-haired woman her name, and had always addressed her as "wife".

Now that I've seen her again, I don't know what to call her. I subconsciously called her "wife," which is quite a joke.

Xiao Yu was filled with a myriad of thoughts. As he stood up, he said:

"Oh...sorry, I misspoke..."

He looked around and was stunned to find himself in a uniquely styled plaza, resembling a gladiatorial arena.

Where is this? Inside the sycamore tree...?

Is the dream that the tapir spoke of the white-haired woman's memories?

In other words, the white-haired girl next to her, who looks like she's shrunk down, is her when she was little.

Doesn't this mean...

Is he... thousands of years in the past?!

Dream……

"Humans?! How could a human fall from the airspace under the jurisdiction of the Phoenix Clan?"
