"Since you're her mother, this changes everything. However, that doesn't mean I'm willing to let you take her away from me." Yuan said to the Primordial Phoenix after a moment of silence.
He continued, "How about this? Why don't you help your daughter recover first, then we can discuss her future together? I promise that I won't leave before the two of you have a conversation. I really don't want to fight you."
"Hmph! You don't want to fight me? You aren't even capable of doing so!" The Primordial Phoenix sneered.
She turned to look at the Primal Monarch and continued, "Although you haven't done anything yet, I am still going to consider this a breach of our agreement, Primal Monarch!"
"Does this mean you have given up on trying to kill my son?"
"That will depend on my daughter's testimony. If I find out that he's mistreated her even slightly, I will not hesitate to kill him even if it's the last thing I do," she responded in a cold voice.
The Primordial Phoenix removed the flames shortly after and said to Yuan, "Follow me."
She created a rift and entered it.
"Go ahead. I won't be coming along." The Primal Monarch said.
"Alright." Yuan nodded and followed the Primordial Phoenix into the rift.
Yingzi, who had been watching in the background, silently followed him. As for the three Phoenixes…
"So the Phoenix inside that egg was my eldest sister, huh? No wonder I felt an odd sense of familiarity with her..." the young lady mused, her voice softening as the realization dawned on her.
"I can't believe that the First Princess has returned after so long…" The woman muttered in a dazed voice.
"Things are going to get chaotic here very soon. I need to notify everyone of the situation as soon as possible." The middle-aged man sighed.
Once Yuan stepped through the rift, he found himself in a vast, breathtaking garden that seemed to stretch endlessly in every direction. The air was thick with the fragrance of medicinal plants, all flourishing with vibrant yang energy.
"Put my daughter on that altar." The Primordial Phoenix pointed to the altar covered with complex array symbols in the distance.
Yuan nodded and approached the altar before retrieving Feng Yuxiang's egg and placing it in the center of the altar.
"Get back," said the Primordial Phoenix as she stood before the altar.
Yuan stepped back and waited for her next move.
However, the Primordial Phoenix didn't do anything besides silently staring at the egg with a motherly gaze.
A few moments later, she suddenly frowned and roared, "Which bastard placed such a vicious curse on her?!"
"That happened to her before we met, so I don't know the details." Yuan quickly shook his head when she turned to look at him for answers.
