"Waaaah! Young Master!" Feng Yuxiang cried her eyes out as she embraced Yuan. "I thought I'd never see you again!"
The moment her life flashed before her eyes during the heavenly tribulation was still fresh to her, almost as if it'd just happened.
Yuan patted her head and said, "I've missed you."
He continued soothing her until Feng Yuxiang finally calmed down.
"…"
The Primordial Phoenix watched them in silence. She'd also tried calming Feng Yuxiang after her revival but was unsuccessful. Feng Yuxiang only grew more confused and anxious as time passed, so the Primordial Phoenix gave up and decided to let Yuan see her. It was also a test of sorts for Yuan. She wanted to see how Feng Yuxiang reacted to his presence.
As for the results, the Primordial Phoenix wasn't just surprised. She was absolutely gobsmacked by how different Feng Yuxiang had become—at least compared to the haughty daughter in her memories.
"Young Master, does this mean I am still alive? I thought I woke up in the underworld," Feng Yuxiang said after calming down.
"Yes, you're still alive. It's going to take some time, but I'll explain the whole situation to you."
Thus, Yuan began explaining to Feng Yuxiang about the Primal Expanse and how he'd got there.
Once Feng Yuxiang understood the existence of the Primal Expanse, Yuan proceeded to explain the Nine Heavens' connection to the Primal Expanse and how some of the beasts from the Nine Heavens originated from the Primal Expanse.
Next, he spoke of the Eternal Phoenix Domain and how the Primordial Phoenix before them was her mother.
"My… mother?" Feng Yuxiang looked at the Primordial Phoenix with wide eyes. She'd always thought she came into existence naturally, so the sudden appearance of her mother came as a great shock to her.
"So you don't have your memories…? When did your last rebirth occur—when were you born?" The Primordial Phoenix asked.
"A little over a hundred thousand years ago, I suppose."
"So recently…" Primordial Phoenix sighed. Most phoenixes who have the ability to reincarnate tend to regain all of their memories after they reach a million years old when they become adults, if not immediately after their rebirth.
"Give me some of your blood," the Primordial Phoenix requested a moment later.
Feng Yuxiang turned to look at Yuan, almost as if asking for his permission or approval.
Yuan nodded with a gentle smile.
Feng Yuxiang proceeded to give several drops of her blood to the Primordial Phoenix, who immediately began examining her blood.
"Although we have lifted your curse, it still has some lingering effects due to how long it affected you. However, it should completely resolve itself soon. When that happens, you'll regain your strength, and your true bloodline will reveal itself."
"I see… thank you for removing my curse," Feng Yuxiang bowed to her respectfully. However, the Primordial Phoenix shook her head and said, "I may have removed your curse, but it was mostly with the assistance of this treasure, which was obtained by your human friend there."
"Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang looked at him with sparkling eyes.
