Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 2 The Son of the Phoenix

Looking at the phoenix egg in her arms, Biji couldn't help but hug it tighter. The closer she got, the stronger the strange feeling in her heart became, and she roughly guessed what the strange feeling was.

The intimacy between bloodlines! What Biji is even more curious about now is when this little phoenix will hatch. According to the hatching time of soul beasts, it is estimated to be about a month, but the little phoenix is ​​different from them and cannot be judged by common sense.

Brigitte was quite fond of the unborn phoenix, so she naturally paid close attention to the time it would take for it to hatch.

Ye Li did not disappoint Bi Ji and the others. After three years, the egg still hadn't hatched. If it weren't for the occasional signs of life emanating from inside, Di Tian and the others would have suspected it was a "dead egg."

While Biji was cultivating that day, the phoenix egg in her arms shook slightly, which immediately made Biji nervous.

"Has the baby phoenix hatched?"

Upon hearing this, Biji did not hesitate at all. She immediately sent a message to Ditian and the others, and quickly arranged for the phoenix eggs, fearing that something might go wrong.

Just after Di Tian and the others arrived, the phoenix egg began to shake more and more violently. From a slight shaking at the beginning to a strong shaking now, it made their hearts tremble, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Gradually, the shaking began to slow down, and Brigitte's heart clenched. "Why isn't it shaking anymore? Could something be wrong with the little phoenix?"

After Brigitte's worried voice rang out, Gu Yuena, who emerged from the Lake of Life, said, "Don't worry, Phoenix, there shouldn't be any accidents."

As soon as Gu Yuena finished speaking, as if in response to her words, a rustling sound suddenly came from the phoenix egg.

As the sound rang out from inside the phoenix egg, a tiny crack appeared on the eggshell. Slowly, the crack spread outwards, eventually becoming a full crack in the egg. As the crack in the eggshell grew larger, a strange wave gradually emanated from the egg, filling the entire Star Dou Great Forest and causing all the beasts to roar in unison.

Just as that mysterious fluctuation filled the entire Star Dou Great Forest, the eggshell cracked open, revealing what was inside.

"Click, click..."

A series of crisp sounds began to ring out, becoming increasingly frequent. Finally, a white object emerged from within. Di Tian and the others watched intently, and the next moment, everyone was stunned.

"A human baby?"

The next moment, a small hand grabbed the eggshell and, seemingly very easily, snapped it off. A piece of the eggshell was then broken off and the hand went back inside. Just a moment later, the small hand reached out again, snapped it off, and another piece of the eggshell was broken off.

No one spoke; they simply stared intently at Ye Li, who was devouring his own eggshell, without uttering a sound. Each of the ferocious beasts had a look of intense curiosity in their eyes. For them, this was the first time they had witnessed the birth of a pure-blooded phoenix, so naturally they were quite curious.

Immediately afterward, to the astonishment of the many ferocious beasts, Ye Li's body began to undergo some changes. His body seemed to have grown a little larger. The entire transformation process took only a breath. Ye Li looked around in a daze. His originally bare body transformed into a feathered robe after he finished eating the eggshell.

Three-year-old Ye Li walked towards Gu Yuena with steps that seemed ready to trip at any moment. Di Tian and the others didn't dare to breathe, and could only stare blankly as Ye Li walked towards their master.

A short while later, Ye Li walked up to Gu Yuena and opened her arms, mumbling indistinctly, "Sister... Sister, hug me!"

At this moment, Di Tian and the others were speechless, staring blankly at Ye Li who wanted a hug. They couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in their hearts: Brother, you're a tough guy.

"From now on, this little guy will be called Ye Li. Anyone who dares to bully him will know what's going on." After Gu Yuena finished speaking, she bent down and hugged Ye Li directly.

When Gu Yuena picked up Ye Li, the beasts were also greatly shocked. If outsiders saw their master holding a child, they would probably be astonished.

.........

Time flies, and three years have passed quickly. In the eyes of Di Tian and the others, Ye Li's words and actions are completely different from those of other human children. They can only understand this as Ye Li being exceptionally gifted, but they are unaware of the troubles and worries Ye Li is experiencing at this time.

The question Ye Li needs to consider now is: what era are we living in? This question is undoubtedly very important to him.

The essential cheat codes for transmigrators didn't appear; all he knew was that he would awaken the Phoenix Martial Soul. His only advantage might be his precognition. If the era he lived in were different, he wouldn't even have this one advantage.

That day, Gu Yuena and Bi Ji looked at Ye Li in front of them. Yes, Ye Li was six years old. Both Gu Yuena and Bi Ji doted on Ye Li. This child had never cried and was always smiling. Ye Li was practically raised under their care...

Bi Ji gently patted Ye Li's head with her slender jade hand and said softly, "Little Li, it's time to take you to awaken your martial soul."

Ye Li looked at Bi Ji with sparkling eyes and said, "Sister Bi Ji, where do I go to awaken my martial soul?"

Biji was also quite taken with Ye Li's antics and replied, "Little Li, let's go to the human world. There's no way to awaken a martial soul in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Then let's go quickly, Sister Brigitte," Ye Li said, pulling Brigitte's hand.

"Alright, then I'll take Ye Li with me and leave." Bi Ji picked up Ye Li and looked at Gu Yue Na.

"Xiao Li, you must take good care of yourself and not cause trouble for your sister Biji, understand?" Gu Yuena said softly.

"I know, Sister Nana." Ye Li, who was being picked up by Brigitte, kissed Gu Yuena on the right cheek the next second.

"Sister Brigitte, hurry up!" While Gu Yuena was still in a daze, Ye Li urged her to hurry up and leave.

Biji knew that Ye Li's little guy was capable of some tricks, and she herself was caught off guard and taken advantage of by Ye Li. She then took off and flew straight towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, their figures drawing a green line in the air.

Standing there dumbfounded, Gu Yuena watched Ye Li walk away and said angrily, "That little brat is getting bolder and bolder."

The Star Dou Great Forest is located directly south of the Heaven Dou Empire, spanning the two empires. No one knows how many years the Star Dou Great Forest has existed on the Douluo Continent, but once you enter the forest, its dense, sky-covering vegetation is enough to tell you how long it has existed.

Even with Bi Ji carrying Ye Li on the flight, it still took them quite a while to reach Notting City, a remote city near the Star Dou Great Forest.
