62: Phoenix Birth

In Qin Lianer's mansion, blazing flames burned, and sounds of Phoenix cries continuously came out.

The nearby birds seemed to be drawn in, circling above the mansion, chirping incessantly, their cries filled with reverence.

In front of Qin Jiang and Qin Lianer was a half-person tall Phoenix Egg.

At this moment, cracks had appeared on the Phoenix Egg, high temperature continuously overflowed from the cracks, and flames also burned up from within the Phoenix Egg.

"Such a high temperature."

Qin Jiang exclaimed.

He set up a barrier to isolate the high temperature.

Qin Lianer, who was by his side, looked at the Phoenix Egg expectantly. During this time, she had been incubating the egg, and now, the Phoenix Egg was finally about to hatch.

The cracks on the Phoenix Egg became more and more numerous, and the surrounding temperature was also constantly rising.

"As expected of a Divine Beast, even before it's born, this temperature is enough to burn a Golden Body Realm to death, right?"

Qin Jiang estimated, sighing.

Qin Lianer giggled:

"Brother, Little Red is already in the Heavenly Soul Realm now. With her Divine Beast Physique, she can even burn Divine Power Realm experts to death."

"Little Red?"

"That's right, it's the little Phoenix."

Qin Lianer pointed at the Phoenix Egg:

"It's the name I gave her, hehe, doesn't it sound nice?"

Hearing this, Qin Jiang's mouth twitched. Whether it sounded nice or not was beside the point; the most important thing was that the name sounded easy to raise.

However...

"How do you know she's in the Heavenly Soul Realm?"

Qin Jiang asked doubtfully.

Qin Lianer looked at the Phoenix Egg:

"I can communicate with Little Red. Incubating the egg is so boring, it's all thanks to being able to communicate with Little Red."

If she hadn't had someone to talk to, she would have given up on incubating long ago. Every day was just boringly sending nutrients to the Phoenix Egg, it was really dull.

As the two spoke, a cry came from the Phoenix Egg. The sound was clear and pleasant, immediately attracting their attention.

Crack~

Following the sound of the eggshell cracking, Qin Jiang and Qin Lianer saw a small beak continuously pecking at the eggshell. In a short while, a large piece of the eggshell was missing.

Then...

A red light directly shot out from within, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared before Qin Lianer.

"Xiao Lianer sister, I finally see you."

The clear voice was filled with joy.

Qin Lianer's face was full of astonishment, and she said in disbelief:

"You..."

Are you Little Red?"

"Yes, yes."

Little Red flapped her wings, nodding repeatedly.

Qin Jiang looked at Little Red, then looked at the Phoenix Egg. A half-person sized Phoenix Egg actually hatched a Phoenix that was only...

Fist sized.

Qin Jiang extended his fist towards Little Red and compared them. His mouth couldn't help but twitch. This little Phoenix was even smaller than his fist.

Obviously, Qin Lianer was also a bit stunned.

Such a big egg hatched such a small thing.

It didn't make sense.

"You..."

You're too small."

Qin Lianer said speechlessly.

She had originally thought she could have a Phoenix mount, but now it seemed she might become this little guy's mount.

Hearing this, Little Red looked at herself:

"I just hatched, I'll grow bigger later~"

Following this, she flapped her wings and flew onto the eggshell. Her small beak continuously pecked at the eggshell with extreme speed. In just a few breaths, she had eaten a little less than half.

Her little belly became rounder. She wobbled back to Qin Lianer and landed on Qin Lianer's shoulder:

"Xiao Lianer sister, please help me keep the remaining eggshell for now.

I'll eat it later."

"The eggshell is useful to you?"

"That's right, look at me, haven't I grown a little bigger now?"

Little Red showed herself off.

Qin Lianer looked carefully, and said with a serious face:

"It seems you've gotten fatter."

Little Red: "..."

"I'm not fat, I've grown!"

Little Red corrected her.

Qin Jiang, who was beside them, couldn't help but laugh:

"You really have grown. Just now you were smaller than my fist, and now you're about the same size as my fist."

Qin Lianer didn't continue to tease her either. She put away the eggshell, and the temperature in the mansion also began to drop.

The birds that had been circling the mansion earlier came even closer.

The Phoenix, king of birds.

These birds were all paying homage to their king.

However, the chirping sounds were a bit annoying. Qin Lianer tapped Little Red's head and said:

"Can you make these birds leave?"

"Of course!"

Little Red tilted her head proudly, looked at the flock of birds, opened her mouth and let out a cry.

Immediately following, came the response of the flock of birds.

After responding, the flock of birds reluctantly left the sky above the mansion.

"Impressive."

Qin Jiang praised.

Little Red lightly hummed, full of pride:

"My Phoenix clan is the king of birds. Any bird must obey our commands!"

"Really?"

Qin Jiang asked curiously:

"I heard there's a kind of roc bird that's very powerful. Do they also obey the Phoenix clan's commands?"

Little Red: "..."

"There's also the Golden Crow, the Qingluan, oh right, I heard the Vermilion Bird is an even stronger Divine Beast than the Phoenix."

Little Red: "..."

She glared at Qin Jiang, turned her head away, and ignored Qin Jiang. This guy just had to point out weaknesses.

Qin Lianer couldn't help but smile, stroking Little Red's feathers, and said:

"Brother, stop bullying Little Red."

Hearing this, Qin Jiang spread his hands.

He was just simply curious, but now it seemed that even among the bird race, there were quite a few who could challenge the Phoenix's status.

Qin Jiang was a little disappointed.

So Divine Beasts weren't that strong after all.

Fortunately, this little Phoenix was quite suitable for Qin Lianer.

The commotion here naturally couldn't be hidden from the Qin Family's experts. Before long, the news of a Phoenix being born spread throughout the Qin Family's upper echelons.

Regarding this kind of news, the Qin Family also didn't hide it.

With the Qin Family's current strength, apart from immortal items like the Immortal Fire, any treasure could be protected. The appearance of a Phoenix in the Qin Family also demonstrated the Qin Family's strength.

"Is this a Phoenix?"

"Why is it so small? Was it born prematurely?"

"Heh, this little Phoenix has quite a temper. She glared at me."

"Just born and already in the Heavenly Soul Realm cultivation. As expected of a Divine Beast. After reaching adulthood, it will at least be a Supreme cultivation, and advancing to great emperor won't be difficult."

"A Phoenix and xiao Xiao Lianer's Nirvana Divine Body complement each other well."

A group of Old Ancestor surrounded Qin Lianer, all looking at the little Phoenix.

Little Red stared, these old guys had no manners at all.

They actually said she was born prematurely, you were born prematurely!

However, what they said praising her wasn't wrong. Hmm, this old senior who praised her looked quite pleasing to the eye.

They didn't look for too long, and the Old Ancestor left one after another. The current Qin Family had four great emperor, a little Phoenix was nothing special.

They just came to see something rare.

Therefore, Little Red's appearance didn't cause too much of a stir.

In just a few days, not many people in the Qin Family were discussing it anymore. However, how the outside world discussed it was none of the Qin Family's business.
