Short filmTranscript
00:00After being reborn, on the day of the grand ceremony for selecting a partner from among
00:04the Blood and Beast clans, my sister arrived earlier and saved the Flame God Birdlord.
00:09She achieved her wish and became the Queen of the Fiery Birds, then demoted me to her
00:20personal maid, ordering and humiliating me at will.
00:27But I turned around and married the ancient Shadow Dragon, whose status far surpassed
00:32that of the blazing fire Divine Bird.
00:49On the day of the Bloodline and Beastkind selection ceremony for choosing a partner in the previous
00:53life, my younger sister rushed to claim the Triple Feather Sacred Eagle first.
00:57She schemed to use our Silvermoon Spirit Fox Bloodline to conceive offspring with the Sun
01:02God lineage.
01:04She pushed the unwanted Wild Boar Orc onto me, pretending to be kind, while sneering that
01:09a humble, lowly fox and a vulgar Wild Boar were a match made in Heaven.
01:18Unexpectedly, by chance, I saved the leader of the Fiery Bird Clan.
01:36He married me into the palace and honored me as the Queen of the Fiery Birds.
01:49My life has since been filled with passion and awe.
01:53After marriage, I bore five Divine Heirs for the declining Divine Bird lineage, doted upon
01:58one by thousands across the continent.
02:01My story becoming a widely renowned legend all over the entire Divine Realm.
02:05My younger sister, wed to the Sacred Eagle, remained childless for years, and was publicly
02:10sent back to the Spirit Fox tribe by her husband's clan, reduced to a universal laughing stock
02:15among beast kind.
02:17When I returned to the tribe with my young children for a family visit, she served me a bowl of
02:22deadly poison soup, which mercilessly killed me and my children.
02:41But fate gave me another chance to choose, allowing me to be admired by millions and no one dared to
02:47look down upon me anymore.
02:50Females of our Silver Moon Spirit Fox tribe complete their beast form transformation at the
02:54age of 15 and awaken their charm talent at the age of 100.
02:58To prevent clansmen from indulging in carnal desires after shapeshifting and triggering tribal conflicts,
03:04tribal elders held a grand ceremony for the selection and contract marriage of the Bloodline
03:08and Beastline clans.
03:10Today was the day of the interracial alliance ceremony, yet my younger sister was nowhere to be seen.
03:15Checking the hour, the elders decided to begin without further delay.
03:22All present are descendants of various noble families.
03:25Young men and women, you can freely choose your preferred partners for the contract and exchange
03:30gifts to seal your relationship.
03:32The moment the words fell, the beastmen and beastwomen present sized one another up.
03:38Those who took a fancy to each other exchanged moonlit rose branches as a token of betrothal.
03:45Haunted by the bitter trauma of a cruel death and the humiliation of childbirth in my past life,
03:50I had long resolved never to marry and bear offspring casually again.
03:53I wove night illusion magic to cover my face with mottled freckles,
03:57hoping only to be left unchosen at the ceremony and live out my days in peace.
04:03Occasionally, foreign youths were drawn to my figure and silhouette,
04:06yet upon catching sight of my face, they frowned and stepped back one after another.
04:11In the end, even the clumsy wild boar orcs were chosen, leaving me utterly alone and unclaimed.
04:16As the ceremony drew to a close, the sky suddenly darkened.
04:20I lifted my gaze to the horizon, where the sky blazed crimson like burning embers,
04:24cloud waves surging, and hundreds of birds sang in unison with overwhelming momentum.
04:29My younger sister descended from the sky, riding the wings of a blazing fire divine bird.
04:42My sister shot me a provocative glance,
04:43Emilia saved my life. From now on, she shall be my only legitimate contracted queen.
04:50All elders of the spirit fox tribe were utterly stunned. Some elderly elders even moved to tears.
04:56Because the flame divine bird is the second only to the ancient divine bird in terms of status,
05:01standing aloof in status and dwelling within the floating castle of the ancient divine realm.
05:06My sister shot me a provocative glance, arrogance and triumph gleaming in her eyes.
05:11In an instant, I realized she too had been reborn.
05:14In my past life, my sister had heard rumors that the Sacred Eagle bloodline held a
05:18chance of bearing sun god descendants.
05:29Deeming herself Heaven's favored chosen one, she schemed to send me away in advance,
05:34seizing the first opportunity to select the triple feather Sacred Eagle as her marriage partner.
05:39As for me, I chanced upon a gravely injured blazing fire divine bird that had fallen on the forest path
05:45behind the grand ceremony and was seriously injured.
05:52I immediately summoned my innate ice element magic power, erecting a magical barrier to block the flames.
06:01And expended my origin magic power to heal its wounds, barely stopping a forest-wide inferno.
06:14I intended to leave quietly, yet the blazing fire divine bird bore a lava jade pendant in its beak,
06:20insisting on gifting it to me as a token of gratitude.
06:25By the time I hurried back to the ceremony grounds, only the unwanted wild boar orc remained.
06:31My heart filled with unwillingness, I refused to marry hastily, drawing displeasure from the elders.
06:39Just as the tribal elders prepared to force me into a contractual marriage,
06:43the blazing fire divine bird descended from the sky, publicly declaring me his destined contract spouse.
06:56She is my destined wife.
06:59I married into the ancient divine realm, Floating Castle, and became the divine bird princess consort.
07:09I had a friend of mine, and then became the first flower of her life, as she died.
07:10While my sister wed into the triple-feather sacred tribe as she wished.
07:14Later, I smoothly gave birth to five divine heirs, rising to become the revered moon goddess of the divine realm.
07:22In contrast, my sister remained infertile year after year and was publicly sent back to the spirit fox tribe by
07:29her husband's clan,
07:29becoming the laughing stock of all beast kind across the divine realm continent.
07:36Blinded by greed and self-inflicted ruin, she laid all her resentment onto me.
07:46When I returned to the tribal castle with my children for a visit,
07:49my sister served me a bowl of rose soup laced with deadly poison,
07:56sending me and my infant straight to the netherworld with her own hands.
08:02The tearing agony in my internal organs at the moment of death I shall never forget.
08:08I stared at my sister's face, flushed red by the blazing fire, divine bird's hellfire,
08:13hatred buried deep within my heart.
08:16In my past life, born an ice element spirit fox, I innately feared the world-burning hellfire,
08:21so I was always treated coldly by leaks.
08:26Afraid my constitution would bring disaster to the entire tribal castle,
08:30I forced myself to be gentle and compliant, deliberately catering to his every preference.
08:36I accompanied him daily to bathe and temper in the divine fire magic hot spring,
08:41enduring the searing pain of flames scorching my magical meridians.
08:46My sister was also an ice element, spirit fox, inherently magically incompatible with the divine bird's fire element.
08:55All the hardships I endured in my past life, she would eventually experience one by one in this life, reaping
09:01what she sowed.
09:03My sister's marriage to leaks, lord of the blazing fire, divine bird, was an unprecedented grand event rare in a
09:10thousand years for the spirit fox tribe.
09:12Her dowry list stretched a full ten meters long.
09:15The tribal chieftain was willing to empty the tribe's thousand-year collection of magical rare treasures and exotic curios,
09:20only to curry favor with my sister, hoping she would speak well of the spirit fox tribal before the blazing
09:26fire divine bird in the days to come.
09:28As the only unchosen maiden at the alliance ceremony, with no marriage contract to rely on and no clansman to
09:34shelter me,
09:35but unexpectedly, I ended up being the most suitable maid of honor,
09:38able to accompany and serve my elder sister and act as her attendant.
09:42My sister! Call me to the sleeping hall looped down on me condescendingly, her tone full of mockery.
09:48Sister, you are the elder and I am the younger. I have always respected and yielded to you.
09:54Now our statuses have changed, and it is your turn to serve me closely.
10:00Are you filled with grievance at this moment?
10:02I remained silent, watching her arrogant demeanor quietly, but my forbearance only fueled her arrogance further.
10:08She suddenly stepped forward, raising her hand and slapping my cheek hard.
10:13I was caught off guard and let out a cry of shock.
10:18How ridiculous and pathetic you look in such a mess.
10:23The clan turd has already agreed that you will be my personal maid from now on.
10:28I can beat you or scold you as I wish.
10:30Punishment is kindness. Reward is also kindness.
10:34You'd better get used to your fate of serving others.
10:38Just then, the flame god bird sent a servant from the divine realm castle to deliver a gown made of
10:43woven magical feathers with red and gold flames patterns.
10:47My sister reached out to gently caress the skirt, greed and ecstasy shining in her eyes.
10:52This featherweave garment was impervious to water and fire, a rare, peerless, magical treasure of the divine realm.
10:59But I didn't give it the slightest bit of attention.
11:01This featherweave was a supreme treasure for fire element beast magicians, but for innate ice element silvermoon spirit foxes, it
11:08was a magical torture device that harmed the body.
11:11Fire and ice origin magic were inherently incompatible.
11:15Wearing it for long periods would continuously erode the fox clan's magical inner core and deplete one's origin magic power.
11:21In my past life, fearing the authority of the blazing fire divine bird, I was forced to wear this featherweave
11:27day and night, permanently injuring the foundation of my origin magic power.
11:31The blazing fire divine bird clan were violent and aloof by nature, always taking pride in their own sacred fire
11:36and fire feather magic.
11:38Had I dared refuse, it would have enraged Lys greatly, even bringing disaster upon the entire spirit fox tribal castle.
11:47Thus, I could only endure grievance and suffer in silence.
11:50After marrying into the floating divine realm castle, all my daily life, food, clothing and shelter had to yield to
11:56Lakes's preference for fire element magic.
11:58I slept on a flame enchanted warm jade bed, bathed in hellfire hot springs, and ate only fire element spiritual
12:05herbs and exotic fruits at every meal.
12:08Immersed in dense fire element magic power, day in and day out, my inner core magic power deteriorated day by
12:14day.
12:15The offspring within me are constantly burning me with intense heat, making me feel as if trapped in a magical
12:20furnace.
12:21My meridians and inner essence energy are almost exhausted.
12:24On the day of childbirth, five bursts of sacred fire magic power erupted simultaneously, draining nearly every last trace of
12:32my origin magic power.
12:33My magical limbs and meridians were on the verge of shattering, and I felt my life slipping away.
12:38At the moment I lingered between life and death, Xavier, the ancient shadow dragon, personally sent a dragon core elixir
12:46of calming spirit-protecting heart, allowing me to safely give birth to my children.
12:51The shadow dragon Xavier did not aid me without reason.
12:54For the secret realm forest where I had saved the blazing fire, divine bird, and put out the mountain fire,
12:59was his secluded territory for a thousand years.
13:04He admired my compassion and mercy while refusing to let living beings perish, thus secretly lending a hand.
13:11Without that dragon core elixir, I would have perished long before giving birth, my inner core shattered and magic power
13:18exhausted.
13:18As my sister indulged in joy, trying on the scarlet gold, fire-patterned feather-weave gown, a maid rushed over
13:24in panic.
13:26Something terrible happened!
13:28A huge fire broke out in a secret forest behind the mountain, and the magical flame is spreading extremely fast!
13:34I stared at my sister in shock, filled with doubt.
13:38Could it be that when she rescued the fiery god bird, she didn't take any action to stop the fire
13:42or put out the forest blaze?
13:44My sister looked annoyed.
13:48It's such a terrible thing to happen on my wedding day.
13:51Are they crazy?
13:52Without giving it much thought, I immediately transformed back into my fox form and sped off towards the secret forest
13:58in the back mountain.
13:59By the time I arrived, the sky was covered in towering flames and thick smoke, yet all tribal elders dared
14:05not step forward to rescue the forest, terrified by the might of the sacred fire magic.
14:10Wails of low-level beast monsters echoed constantly from within the woods.
14:14I openly questioned why the elders stood idly by and watched coldly.
14:19The elders hesitated, their faces filled with fear.
14:25This flame originates from the sacred fire of the blazing fire, Diburd.
14:30If our spirit fox clan intervenes rashly, we will only anger Lord Leeks.
14:37Today is the crucial day of your sister's wedding.
14:40We must not stir up unnecessary trouble.
14:43It's just some low-level beasts and monsters burned to death.
14:46Not worth taking risks.
14:48I became utterly disillusioned with the tribal elders.
14:51Defying all obstruction from the crowd, I leaped straight into the towering sea of flames.
14:56Thick smoke quickly stung my eyes, and blazing fire seared my fox fur and skin.
15:01Fortunately, as an innate ice element spirit fox magician, ice magic condensed wherever I passed, temporarily suppressing the raging sacred
15:09fire.
15:09Yet, Leeks' sacred fire magic power was domineering beyond measure, far too powerful for a mere spirit fox like me
15:16to fully contain.
15:19Recalling the forest fire prevention magic taught by my adoptive mother, I immediately cut down vegetation around the fire ground
15:25to forge a magical isolation belt, halting the spread of the flames.
15:29Yet, relying solely on my own strength was ultimately insufficient.
15:33I summoned the fox clan sound transmission magic's secret art, calling all forest spirits and monsters to join forces in
15:39putting out the fire.
15:41Wolves, tigers, black panthers and eagles all carried water in ice magical baskets I conjured.
15:46Giant elephants sucked up water with their trunks to douse the flames.
15:50Pangolins, ants and mantises worked together to widen the isolation belt.
15:54The forest fire was gradually contained.
15:57Just as the flames weakened, the earth trembled violently with magical power.
16:01Amidst the quaking ground, an enormous jet-black ancient shadow dragon soared into the sky.
16:07From his maw poured endless magical rain, instantly extinguishing the mountain fire completely.
16:13Dark clouds shrouded the entire secret realm forest.
16:17The solemn, deep voice of shadow dragon Xavier resounded across heaven and earth.
16:21This mountain is my magical territory, where I have lived in Seclude for a thousand years.
16:27Who ignited the sacred fire magic, set fire to the forest, and slaughtered countless living beings and monsters?
16:37Every spirit fox clansman trembled in fear, falling deathly silent, no one daring to speak up.
16:43Just as silence hung heavy over the crowd, my sister suddenly stepped forward.
16:47My sister is covered with smoke, ashes, and burn marks.
16:53She must have deliberately set this forest fire.
16:57In an instant, every gaze locked onto me, silence falling all around.
17:02I had risked my life to put out the fire witnessed by all.
17:05I had thought the innocent need not defend themselves, that the elders would judge clearly and never twist right into
17:11wrong.
17:11Yet after a moment's hesitation, the elders knelt down abruptly, kowtowing to beg forgiveness.
17:18The rebellious daughter, Amelia, of our spirit fox clan, has offended the ancient magic noble.
17:26Our clan is willing to hand her over to be disozov as you wish.
17:32Tears slid silently down my cheeks.
17:35In my past life, I endured humiliation and compromise for the spirit fox tribe, teetering between life and death on
17:42the verge of childbirth.
17:43In this life, compassion for innocent living beings, I rushed fearlessly into the sea of flames.
17:48Yet in the end, they only sought to push me forward as a scapegoat to calm the dragon's wrath.
17:53I stared at these cold and selfish clansmen beside me, raising my voice to question them.
17:58The mountain fire was obviously caused by Lord Lyax's soldier's sacred fire magic.
18:05A spirit fox with an innate fear of fire magic, of the isomint.
18:09How could I possibly ignite the sacred fire to burn down the meekryt forest?
18:13My sister pressed forward relentlessly, framing me further.
18:17You are my personal maid now, serving around my castle day and night.
18:21It would be easy for you to secretly steal my husband's original sacred fire magic.
18:27Great Lord Shadow Dragon, this fire was definitely arson planned by her.
18:32I held up my fox paws severely burned while fighting the fire.
18:35If I set the fire on purpose, why would I risk my life to put it out and hurt myself
18:40so badly?
18:42If you didn't start the fire deliberately, why rush into the deadly fire risking your life?
18:46What are you pursuing by putting out the fire so desperately?
18:51I laughed bitterly, tears welling in my eyes.
18:53What am I pursuing?
18:56How dare you ask me what I am pursuing?
18:59All elders behind me rose to their feet in unison, pressuring me with all said in unison.
19:04Amelia, just plead guilty.
19:07Don't bring disaster to the entire clan tribe.
19:10I looked at these cold-hearted clansmen, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
19:16From today on, I, Amelia, cut off all kindness and fate with the Silvermoon Spirits clan,
19:24and we shall have no connection forever.
19:29I had always been an orphan of the clan, my origins unknown.
19:33I was only taken in and raised by the Chieftain because my original form resembled that of a spirit fox.
19:38Both in my past life and this life, I had willingly sacrificed and compromised for the tribe.
19:43Only now did I realize all my devotion was worthless.
19:47Listen to this farce, the Shadow Dragon spoke faintly.
19:49So be it.
19:51From now on, Amelia will be dealt with by me personally,
19:54and she will have no more lines with the spirit fox clan.
19:59His enormous dragon form swept toward me.
20:06After we left the forest, the Shadow Dragon took me to his castle.
20:11I closed my eyes, waiting for death to come, yet the expected slaughter never arrived.
20:16The dragon restrained his magical pressure and transformed into a noble human form,
20:21clad in a black robe, embroidered with golden patterns,
20:24seated upon a void magical throne.
20:29He gazed at me, a hint of amusement and pity in his eyes.
20:32Tell me, how should this matter be judged?
20:36I stared at his calm and composed demeanor,
20:39understanding instantly that he had long seen through the whole truth
20:42and had no intention of killing me at all.
20:44I straightened my back and stared straight at him.
20:48You already know the truth.
20:50Why let the spirit fox kingsman push me out as a scapegoat?
20:54Could it be that you also fear the power and magic of Lord Lyax?
20:58You really are being presumptuous.
21:00I underestimated you.
21:01Everyone with clear eyes knows who caused the mountain sacred fire,
21:05yet your clansmen distort right and wrongs,
21:07insisting on making you take the blame.
21:09I do not fear anyone.
21:10I only pity your sincere heart wasted on unworthy people
21:14and take this chance to rescue you from this hypocritical fox tribe cage.
21:18The ancient shadow dragon's floating divine velm palace
21:21is far more comfortable than your narrow fox den.
21:24Hearing his words,
21:25I suddenly recalled how he had gifted me the dragon core elixir
21:28after I put out the fire in my past life.
21:31Had he taken pity on me from that moment onward,
21:33already intending to protect me?
21:35I immediately knelt down to bow and thank him.
21:38Thank you for saving me, noble lord.
21:42I am willing to serve by your side
21:44and never leave you for the rest of my life.
21:46A satisfied smile curved his lips.
21:48You are wise and sensible.
21:51Remember from now on,
21:53do not be kind to unworthy people
21:54and wrong to yourself in vain.
21:57Change into a decent noble dress
21:58and come with me to the castle wedding
22:00of the blaning fire divine bird
22:02to watch a good show.
22:09Wearing it,
22:10standing side by side with Xavier in his human form,
22:13we looked like a perfect match of noble lovers.
22:15My cheeks flushed slightly,
22:17a trace of shyness stirring in my heart.
22:22When I arrived at the wedding hall of the castle
22:24where my sister and Lex were,
22:25Xavier's figure faded silently.
22:28I could only sit alone in the corner,
22:30sipping the fine grape wine
22:31and watching the grand ceremony.
22:34My sister walked hand in hand
22:35with leaks down the red carpet,
22:37yet upon reaching the main hall entrance.
22:39But suddenly her face turned deathly pale
22:41and she trembled all over with fear.
22:44For there was an ancient rule
22:45of the blazing fire divine bird clan.
22:48Every newly contracted primary wife
22:50entering the clan
22:50must walk barefoot
22:51along a burning magical charcoal path.
22:54It symbolized washing away mortal filth,
22:56tempering through fire magic
22:57and rebirth into a new life.
22:59As an ancient divine bird magician
23:01born with mastery over sacred fire magic,
23:04Lace walked the charcoal path
23:06as if treading on flat ground,
23:07utterly unaffected.
23:09Yet for innate ice element
23:10silver moon spirit foxes,
23:12this was nothing short of cruel magical torture.
23:15My sister clung tightly to Lex's sleeve,
23:17refusing to take a single step forward.
23:19All noble guests in the hall noticed the commotion,
23:22every gaze locking onto the pair.
23:23Losing all face publicly,
23:26Lace's expression turned gloomy and cold.
23:28He forcibly dragged my sister
23:30to the edge of the charcoal path.
23:32Staring at the blazing red magical charcoal,
23:35my sister trembled violently,
23:37shaking her head repeatedly
23:38and refusing to step foot on it.
23:40Lex showed not an ounce of tenderness or pity,
23:43his tone cold with magical pressure and threat.
23:47Walk through it obediently
23:49and you will be my wife
23:50and the acknowledged leaders women of our tribe.
23:54My sister still failed to grasp
23:56the gravity of the situation,
23:57thinking she could get away with acting coquettishly.
24:00My lord husband,
24:02my skin, skin is delicate.
24:04How can you bear to let me re-walk barefoot
24:07on the burning magical charcoal?
24:09Lex noticed the strange stares all around,
24:12forcing down his rage
24:13and coaxing her with limited patience.
24:14Since ancient all women
24:16married into the blazing fire bird clan
24:18must go through this trium.
24:21Do not fear.
24:21It is condensed from original sacred fire magic,
24:24an opportunity that ordinary beast magicians
24:26can only dream of.
24:28But we ice-attributed spirit foxes
24:30are innately most afraid of fire magic.
24:32The moment those words left her mouth,
24:34the divine bird clan elders in the hall
24:36turned livid with displeasure.
24:38Lex pulled my sister aside,
24:40whispering a warning in her ear.
24:42My sister's expression changed drastically.
24:45Reluctant as she was,
24:46she could only grit her teeth
24:48and step onto the burning charcoal path.
24:50The sizzling sound of flame-searing skin
24:52echoed clearly.
24:53I calmly caught the faint smell
24:55of scorched fox fur in the air,
24:56raising my glass of wine to sip slowly,
24:58feeling immense satisfaction in my heart.
25:01My sister struggled to finish the charcoal path,
25:04stepping forward to toast
25:05the divine bird clan chieftain with welcome wine,
25:08having offended the elders publicly earlier.
25:10The chief intended to teach her a lesson,
25:12deliberately making her stand
25:13holding the wine glass for half an hour
25:15before slowly taking it to drink,
25:17officially acknowledging her as the new bride.
25:20Once the wedding rites concluded,
25:21Lex led my sister toward the castle backyard.
25:24Yet the moment they stepped out of the hall door,
25:26he roughly shook off her hand,
25:27his face filled with disgust.
25:29My sister endured the burning pain on her feet,
25:32reaching out to hold his hand again,
25:34only for him to coldly pull his arm away.
25:36It's ancient times,
25:37no new contract main wife
25:38has ever dared Bumblis flay
25:39in my clan's sacred fire, Morgic.
25:41And you the first.
25:43You don't need to wait for me tonight.
25:45I will quest in another castle bedroom.
25:48Having watched this farce unfold,
25:50I prepared to take my leave,
25:52but accidentally I bumped into the steps
25:53and made a noise.
25:55My sister turned instantly
25:56and spotted me in the corner,
25:58flying into a fit of rage.
25:59She rushed over to seize me,
26:01but she stumbled and fell heavily to the ground
26:03due to her burned feet,
26:04unable to support her weight.
26:06She stared at me with venomous eyes.
26:08Why are you here?
26:10Shouldn't you have been executed on the spot
26:12by the shadow dragon?
26:13I brushed the noble gown,
26:15symbolizing status in the shadow-floating divine realm.
26:17The shadow magic noble sees through everything
26:20and will never wrong the innocent.
26:22Now I am under the protection of the shadow dragon,
26:25no longer a fox maid at your mercy.
26:28You are just a spirit fox witch,
26:30and you have no qualification to hurt me at all.
26:33She scrambled to her feet in an instant,
26:35clamping her hands tightly around my neck,
26:37her sharp fox claws cutting my skin
26:39and drawing blood,
26:41mere inches away from taking my life.
26:43Is that true?
26:44If you are really by Xavier's side,
26:46why would he let you appear here alone?
26:48You must be lying and pretending.
26:50I might as well kill you quietly now to end everything.
26:54I don't believe the shadow dragon
26:55will offend Lord Lex just for you.
26:57Just as I struggled for breath,
26:58a burst of magical gale swept over in an instant,
27:01sending my sister flying with a single blow.
27:04She crashed heavily to the ground,
27:06spitting blood, staring up in terror.
27:08Who, who are you?
27:10Shadow dragon Xavier materialized out of thin air,
27:13wrapping an arm around my waist,
27:14pouring magical power into me to heal my wounds.
27:17His tone was calm,
27:18yet brimming with intense possessiveness.
27:21I am this lady's contracted fiance.
27:23You may call me Xavier,
27:24the shadow magic divine Lord.
27:26My sister was filled with unwillingness,
27:28struggling to rise and seek trouble with me once more.
27:31Just then, Lise returned.
27:33Spotting Xavier,
27:34he immediately bowed in noble salute.
27:36His gaze fell on Xavier and me
27:37wearing matching noble attire.
27:39Greetings, divine Lord and madam.
27:42My wife has been rude and presumptuous,
27:45disturbing you too.
27:46Please forgive her offense on this wedding day.
27:50Xavier glanced meaningfully at my sister
27:52lying on the ground.
27:53His tone laced with warning.
27:55Your contracted wife really needs to be well disciplined.
27:58Do not let her act archerily and bully others again.
28:01The next day,
28:03maids from the shadow floating divine realm
28:04came to chat gossip with me.
28:06The newly married wife of the blazing fire deferred Lord
28:09has completely fallen out of favor on her wedding night.
28:14It is said that she publicly disdained sacred fire magic
28:18and offended the elders and noble guests.
28:21Enraged,
28:22Lex favored a larkmaid on their wedding night
28:24and promoted her directly to side conchem.
28:27The main wife lost all face,
28:29staying behind closed all day
28:30and come as of the entire divine realm.
28:32My sister's current fate was entirely of her own making.
28:35The blazing fire divine bird clan
28:37had always revered sacred fire origin magic.
28:40By openly offending and scorning the sacred fire,
28:43her days ahead in the divine bird castle
28:45would surely be fraught with hardship
28:47and cold disdain at every turn.
28:48As for me,
28:50peace was not entirely assured either.
28:52All silver moon spirit fox maidens
28:54would face an instinct magical power restlessness period
28:57after shape-shifting into adulthood.
28:59They needed to absorb pure origin magical essence
29:02to stabilize their human form,
29:04elevate their magic power
29:05and pave the way for awakening their charm talent
29:08at a hundred years old.
29:09Fortunately,
29:10Xavier allowed me free access
29:11to all corners of the shadow floating divine realm.
29:14By chance,
29:15I discovered a secret realm magical hot spring.
29:18Soaking within it calmed the mind and spirit,
29:20suppressing instinctual restlessness,
29:23possessing miraculous effects
29:24and easing spirit fox magical power agitation.
29:27For an entire month afterward,
29:29I visited the hot spring alone
29:30every night to rest and recuperate.
29:32On this day,
29:33I came as usual to soak in the spring.
29:35From afar came the sound of women's giggling and frolicking,
29:38a voice hauntingly familiar.
29:41Curiosity stirred within me.
29:43I approached quietly to investigate,
29:45only to find it was my sister.
29:46Half her clothes were damp and disheveled,
29:49frolicking intimately by the spring lake with two dragons,
29:52one black and one white.
29:55Dragonkind were inherently romantic by nature.
29:57Their origin,
29:58magical,
29:59spiritual power,
29:59warm and mellow,
30:00perfectly able to ease the scorching restlessness
30:03of the spirit fox restlessness period.
30:05Yet my sister was already wedded to the divine bird castle
30:07as the legitimate primary wife.
30:09To indulge in debauchery
30:11and tryst with foreign clans in secret
30:13was reckless beyond measure.
30:15If discovered by leaks,
30:17she would surely be burned to death
30:18by sacred fire magic
30:19and sentenced to capital punishment.
30:22Listening to the ambiguous,
30:23teasing laughter by the lake,
30:25I turned and left silently,
30:26finding the scene filthy and repulsive,
30:29never wishing to set foot
30:30in this secret realm hot spring again.
30:31Yet the scorching restlessness surging within me
30:34could no longer be suppressed.
30:35Distraught and flustered,
30:37I spotted Xavier pacing alone
30:38outside the divine realm palace.
30:40Drawing near,
30:41I caught a faint whiff
30:43of the cold,
30:44mellow dragon's magical scent
30:45emanating from him.
30:46Understanding instantly
30:47this 10,000-year-old shadow dragon
30:49was also enduring
30:50his instinct,
30:51magical power restlessness period.
30:53I summoned the fox charm magic secret art,
30:56blurring the surrounding illusionary barrier,
30:58making him believe
30:59all that transpired tonight
31:00was but a vivid dream.
31:02Soon,
31:03he lost control of his emotions,
31:05reaching out to pull me into his embrace,
31:06stepping into the palace bedchamber.
31:08He gently held my waist,
31:10his tone tinged with pity.
31:13Your figure is so slender and weak.
31:16You need to take more magical,
31:18spiritual materials
31:19to nourish your body
31:20and nurture your origin in the future.
31:23Clothing slipped away quietly,
31:24and I dared finally lift my eyes
31:26to gaze upon him closely,
31:28realizing his appearance
31:29was peerless and unparalleled.
31:30An innate cold lingering around him
31:33perfectly calmed the scorching restlessness
31:35surging through my entire body.
31:40I indulged myself in seeking his mellow origin,
31:43magical power,
31:45lingering in boundless passion until dawn.
31:47I slept soundly through the night.
31:49When I woke at dawn,
31:50Xavier was already gone without a trace.
31:52I had intended to use fox illusion magic
31:54to erase his memories of that night,
31:56yet it was clear
31:57he did not take their fleeting encounter seriously.
32:00A trace of loneliness
32:01mingled with relief
32:02stirred in my heart.
32:03In my past life,
32:05marrying leeks had been a case
32:06of climbing high only to suffer.
32:08The castle rules were numerous and restrictive,
32:10every word and action requiring extreme caution.
32:13I dared not even take an extra spiritual fruit at meals
32:16without watching others' expressions.
32:19Xavier's status and power far surpassed Lex's.
32:22If he truly intended to take me as his consort,
32:24my days might not be any more peaceful
32:26and free than before.
32:28I pushed the chaotic thoughts from my heart,
32:30no longer dwelling on Xavier's whereabouts,
32:33settling into my duties
32:34as a maid of the divine realm in peace.
32:36Yet one night,
32:37a faint flutter of fetal movement
32:39stirred in my lower abdomen,
32:40a familiar sensation washing over me.
32:43Could it be that I was already with child?
32:45At the same time,
32:47news of my sister's pregnancy
32:48spread throughout the ancient floating divine realm,
32:51even reaching the shadow divine realm
32:52with wedding candies sent by her own hand.
32:54I recalled the sight of her
32:56frolicking with the two dragons by the hot spring,
32:58sighing inwardly for my sister,
33:00dragon and divine bird bloodlines
33:02were inherently magically incompatible.
33:05Recklessly trysting with foreign clans like this,
33:07once the child was born with mismatched bloodlines,
33:10catastrophe would surely befall her.
33:12Lost in thought,
33:14my sister arrived in grand attire,
33:16escorted by dozens of divine realm maids
33:18like stars surrounding the moon.
33:20She reached out to caress my lower abdomen,
33:23then glanced at the broom in my hand
33:24used to sweep the courtyard.
33:27I thought you climbed onto the shadow dragon
33:29and became the unmarried consort
33:31of the magic divine lord,
33:32but it seems you are just a maid,
33:35sweeping floors and running errands.
33:37I am completely different from you.
33:39I am the first successfully pregnant
33:41contracted main wife
33:42in a thousand years
33:43of the blaning fire divine bird kind.
33:45As long as I give birth
33:46to my offspring smoothly,
33:47the clan leader will report
33:49to the floating divine realm council
33:50to confer the title of moon goddess on me.
33:54From now on,
33:55you and I are as different
33:57as cloud and mud.
34:00Don't foolishly delude yourself
34:02into coming to the Devenbird castle
34:04to cling to Trench
34:05and humiliate yourself.
34:07I nodded obediently in agreement.
34:09Satisfied by my compliance,
34:11she turned and left brimming with pride.
34:14If the child in her womb
34:15truly bore the bloodline
34:17of those two dragons,
34:18it would surely be slaughtered
34:19in a rage once born.
34:20If it truly bore Lakes's bloodline,
34:23without the shadow dragon's
34:24dragon core elixir,
34:26she would never survive childbirth.
34:28Recalling the agony of childbirth
34:30I endured in my past life,
34:31I could not help but call out to her.
34:33Bearing divine bird offsprings.
34:36Bearing divine bird offsprings
34:38will bring scorching heat
34:39in your abdomen during pregnancy.
34:41If you suffer unbearably in the future,
34:44soak quietly with ice water magic.
34:47My sister stared at me
34:48in utter disbelief.
34:50Nonsense!
34:51My womb is stable
34:52with no scorching feeling at all!
34:54You clearly are jealous
34:55that I can conceive
34:56and have a child.
34:57You deliberately want to persuade me
34:59to harm my baby with cold water.
35:00How vicious your heart is!
35:02I fell silent.
35:04She had long convinced herself
35:05I harbored ill will toward her,
35:07turning and leaving
35:08filled with resentment.
35:09I sneered inwardly.
35:11No fiery discomfort during pregnancy,
35:13she cannot even name
35:14the father of the child
35:15in her womb.
35:15This so-called blessing
35:17is nothing but a fatal disaster
35:19in disguise.
35:20As night fell,
35:21my sister's shrill screams of agony
35:23echoed across the entire
35:24floating divine realm.
35:26Rumors spread that she suffered
35:27severe abdominal pain
35:28during pregnancy,
35:29carrying far more than one
35:30divine bird air in her womb.
35:32Yet, though she endured
35:33excruciating torment,
35:35when she saw me the next day,
35:36she grew even more arrogant.
35:37The divine realm magic
35:39imperial Titian
35:40diagnosed my pulse yesterday
35:41and said I carry
35:43seven divine bud bird offspring
35:45in my womb.
35:47You must be extremely envious,
35:49right?
35:50I sneered deep in my heart,
35:51wanting none of this
35:52so-called blessing.
35:53Outwardly, I feigned flattery.
35:55My sister has propounds
35:57in good blestion,
35:58which others compare you.
36:01Naturally,
36:02my destiny and fortune
36:04are beyond your comparison.
36:06When I give birth
36:08to my seven children,
36:09I will be crowned
36:11as the goddess
36:11and all the tribes
36:12will press to themselves
36:13and worship me.
36:15As for you,
36:16stay in the shadow divinum castle
36:18sweeping floors all your life
36:20and live a humble life.
36:21With that,
36:22she waved her magic power casually,
36:24sweeping all the courtyard
36:25fallen leaves
36:26directly in front of me.
36:27Since you like sweeping so much,
36:29clean it carefully
36:30without leaving a single leaf.
36:32Just then,
36:33Xavier returned slowly.
36:34With a wave of his hand,
36:36he scattered all the fallen leaves
36:38onto my sister's head,
36:40his tone icy cold.
36:43The people of my divine realm castle
36:46are not allowed to be humiliated
36:48and ordered by you at will be.
36:50My sister instinctively shielded
36:52her heavily swollen belly,
36:54shouting with bluff courage,
36:55I am pregnant now.
36:57If you dare hurt me even a little,
36:59aren't you afraid my husband Lex
37:01will come to seek trouble with you?
37:02Xavier reached out to wrap his arm
37:04gently around my waist,
37:05overwhelming magical pressure
37:06sweeping across the scene.
37:09I ascended to the position
37:10of magic divine lord
37:12and ruled the floating divine realm
37:14long before your husband Liex was born.
37:17What's more,
37:19my contracted wife is also pregnant.
37:22You publicly insulted
37:24and deliberately made things
37:25difficult for her,
37:26and I haven't settled the caint with you yet.
37:32You are also pregnant?
37:34My sister trembled all over.
37:36You have an affair without marriage,
37:38shameless and immoral.
37:39How dare you have Fossman?
37:41Xavier raised his hand
37:42to cast a forbidden speech spell,
37:44sealing my sister's mouth shut.
37:46Amelia is my legitimate contracted wife,
37:49betrothed and acknowledged
37:50by heaven and all living spirits.
37:54He then took out a radiant ancient dragon pearl,
37:56proclaiming aloud,
37:58This dragon pearl is the inherited
38:00supreme treasure of my dragon clan.
38:02From today on,
38:03it will be her token,
38:05and she is my rightful divine lord madam.
38:07I stared at Xavier's earnest expression,
38:10my heart trembling.
38:11Had he been disappearing without reason
38:12these past two months,
38:14precisely to run errands for me,
38:15seeking official status
38:16and acknowledgement from heaven?
38:19Moments later,
38:20an imperial edict descended
38:21upon the shadow-floating divine realm.
38:24Spirit fox Amelia,
38:26compassionate in heart
38:28and meritorious in disaster,
38:30relief and protecting living beings,
38:32is hereby conferred the title
38:34of ancient moon goddess.
38:38Sealed by the forbidden speech spell,
38:40my sister could only let out
38:41muffled whimpers,
38:42her eyes filled with overwhelming jealousy
38:44and unwillingness,
38:46tears streaming down non-stop.
38:52Before long,
38:53Lakes hurried over.
38:54He bowed to Xavier.
38:57Divine lord,
38:58please forgive my wife.
38:59She is mentally disturbed
39:00and lost her sense of procreation
39:01during pregnancy,
39:02offending the goddess.
39:04I will take her back to the palace
39:05immediately for strict discipline
39:06and never let her act recklessly again.
39:09After the crowd dispersed,
39:11Xavier could not help
39:12but gaze gently at my lower abdomen.
39:14I blushed
39:14and whispered softly,
39:16You remember that night?
39:17Proficial fox magic skills
39:19can never sway my true heart.
39:21I fell in love with you
39:23at first sight
39:23the moment you rushed
39:24into the fire selflessly,
39:26pitting all living spirits
39:28and monsters.
39:29I knew you were special.
39:32Since we have shared soul,
39:34I will definitely give you
39:36status and honor.
39:38Being just wife is not enough.
39:42I will ask the heaven
39:43to confer the goddess Stadel for you.
39:45Report to heaven
39:46and all living spirits
39:47and search all magical treasures
39:49across the world
39:50as betrothal gifts,
39:51which is worthy
39:52of marrying you solemnly.
39:54Now that you are pregnant,
39:55you should not overwork
39:56and travel around.
39:57After you safely give birth
39:59to our child,
39:59I will hold a grand castle
40:01wedding feast
40:02renowned across all the realms
40:03for you.
40:04That night,
40:05Xavier held me in his arms
40:06as we drifted off to sleep.
40:07Reborn into this life,
40:08I had walked cautiously
40:09and remained guarded
40:10at every turn.
40:11At last,
40:12I could lay aside all vigilance
40:14and rely on him wholeheartedly.
40:15Our child inherited
40:16pure dragon bloodline,
40:18exceptionally calm
40:19and sensible from the womb,
40:21never tormenting the mother
40:22like the divine bird offspring
40:23in my past life.
40:24My pregnancy was flawless,
40:26no morning sickness
40:27or discomfort,
40:28my lower abdomen stable,
40:29only an unusual craving
40:30for endless sleep.
40:32In contrast,
40:33my sister's days
40:34grew increasingly miserable.
40:36Her shrill cries
40:36grew louder each night.
40:38Annoyed by her noisy outbursts,
40:40Lace laid a soundproof barrier
40:42around her chambers,
40:43yet he could not block
40:44the endless gossip
40:45spreading across
40:46the divine realm.
40:47All whispered
40:48that the blazing fire
40:49divine bird clan
40:49had always been
40:50sparse in descendants.
40:52Now,
40:52my sister suffered
40:53unspeakable torment
40:54in pregnancy.
40:55Could it be that
40:55divine bird bloodline
40:56was inherently ill-suited
40:58to bearing offspring?
40:59In an instant,
41:00many clans broke off
41:01their marriage alliances
41:02with the divine bird clan.
41:03The divine bird clan elders
41:05laid all blame on my sister,
41:07deeming her shallow in fate
41:08and unworthy of bearing
41:09divine bird offspring.
41:10They spared no expense
41:12gathering vast quantities
41:13of fire element
41:14spiritual ingredients
41:15from across Europe
41:16to nourish her daily.
41:17Yet I saw clearly
41:18that these tonics
41:19were pure fire element
41:21origin magic,
41:22only accelerating fetal growth
41:23without nourishing the mother,
41:25forcing such tonics
41:26only continuously
41:27overdrawn her vitality.
41:28Her complexion faded
41:29day by day,
41:30growing haggard and frail.
41:32Yet she remained oblivious,
41:33continuing to show off
41:34everywhere.
41:35Her belly was now
41:36enormous,
41:37pale and breathless
41:38after mere steps.
41:40I stepped forward
41:41to support her,
41:41speaking softly.
41:42Your body is already weak.
41:44Why tire yourself
41:45running around
41:46visiting others every day?
41:47You know nothing.
41:49My lord husband said,
41:51walking more during pregnancy
41:52is good for smooth
41:53childbirth in the future.
41:57I nodded along
41:58with her words.
41:58Your husband is really
41:59considerate and loving to you.
42:02I am far better than you.
42:05You are pregnant,
42:06without status,
42:07and live a humble life
42:08every day.
42:09The child in my womb
42:11is Lex's only
42:12Dinebird heir,
42:13the hope of the entire
42:14Darynebird castle.
42:16Rare, magical toots
42:17from all the continents
42:18keep pouring into my palace.
42:20Have you seen this
42:21Volkoman's hearing
42:22spiritic pill?
42:24Taking it can surge
42:26the feudis' magic power,
42:27and my child will be born
42:29with extraordinary talent
42:30and shock the entire
42:31divine realm.
42:33I stared at her gaunt belly,
42:35understanding fully.
42:36This was a forbidden
42:37fetal accelerating pill,
42:38only speeding up the fetus
42:40while multiplying
42:40the mother's pain
42:41and mortal danger.
42:42Yet, she remained
42:43completely unaware,
42:45mistaking it for deep affection
42:46from her husband.
42:47I invited her to sit with me
42:49by the courtyard,
42:50Magical Lake.
42:51She stared at her reflection
42:52in the lake,
42:53shocked by her haggard,
42:54bloated appearance.
42:55I hurried forward
42:56to support her,
42:57cautious lest she frame me falsely.
42:59Staring at me
43:00equally pregnant,
43:01yet still fair-skinned
43:02and light in figure,
43:03she suddenly broke down
43:04into hysterical tears.
43:06Amelia, you must be
43:07very proud
43:08seeing me so ugly
43:09and embarrassed now.
43:10I tell you,
43:11as long as my seven sons
43:13are born safely,
43:14I will soon restore
43:15my appearance
43:16and win back
43:17Lex's favor.
43:18My lord husband said
43:20my bloated figget is
43:21owed because my child
43:22has extraordinary talent
43:24and grows rapidly.
43:25As for you,
43:27your belly beef
43:28and what after
43:29doesn't show,
43:30you'd better be careful
43:30not to have a chop
43:31any accidents.
43:33I watched her leave
43:34in despair,
43:35laughing silently
43:36to myself.
43:37Dear sister,
43:38if you ever learned
43:39that not a single
43:40one of your seven children
43:41carried the blazing fire
43:42divine bird bloodline,
43:43how utterly devastated
43:45would you be?
43:46My sister carried
43:47seven fetuses
43:47accelerated by forbidden magic,
43:49going into labor
43:50far earlier than me
43:51with an abnormally
43:52large belly.
43:53She fed daily
43:54on fire element
43:55fetal accelerating tonics,
43:56yet feeling no innate
43:58divine bird fiery
43:59restlessness during pregnancy,
44:00I had long confirmed
44:01none of the children
44:02were Lex's bloodline.
44:03I carried a plate
44:04of pastries,
44:05strolling leisurely
44:06to the divine bird castle
44:07to watch the spectacle.
44:10By the time I arrived,
44:11the castle was packed
44:12with crowds
44:13with no room left to stand.
44:18After becoming pregnant,
44:20my sister had distributed
44:21wedding candies
44:21and spread news
44:22of her seven unborn children
44:24across all divine realm clans.
44:26Her labor drew envoys
44:27and onlookers
44:28from all divine factions
44:29to gather and wait.
44:30Every member of the
44:31blazing fire divine bird clan
44:33gathered outside the palace,
44:34from chieftain
44:35to regional guardians
44:36across Europe.
44:38Lex paced anxiously outside,
44:39consumed with anticipation
44:40for his heir.
44:49Amidst the crowd,
44:50I instantly recognized
44:52the black and white dragon
44:53young generals
44:53who had frolicked with her
44:54by the hot spring that day.
44:56They mingled among the guests,
44:58flustered and uneasy,
44:59clearly afraid
45:00their secret would be exposed.
45:04Before long,
45:05my sister's screams
45:06echoed non-stop
45:07from inside the hall,
45:08ringing from midday
45:09until sunset.
45:12Gradually,
45:13her screams grew weaker
45:14until falling silent.
45:16Just then,
45:17a midwife walked out
45:18holding an infant,
45:19followed by six maids
45:20each carrying a baby.
45:23Lex rushed forward eagerly
45:24to take the first child.
45:25Yet the moment he saw its form,
45:27his face turned livid with rage.
45:29It was a young black dragon cub.
45:34Where did these bastards
45:35come from?
45:36How dare they pretend
45:38to be my blazing fire
45:39divine bird,
45:39Coscendants?
45:41A dragon phantom
45:42flickered into existence,
45:43snatching the cub
45:44from beneath Lex's blade
45:45and calling out,
45:46Divine Lord,
45:47spare his life.
45:48Staring at the cub's
45:49identical black dragon bloodline,
45:51Lex instantly understood,
45:53It's you.
45:54You of the dragon race.
45:56How shameless you are.
45:57You have engaged
45:59in shameful acts of adultery
46:00and disgracing
46:01my divine bird castle.
46:02With that,
46:03he raised his blade
46:04to kill the remaining
46:05six infants.
46:06The black dragon clansmen
46:07rushed forward
46:08to shield them,
46:09dumbfounded upon seeing
46:10all seven children's forms.
46:13Emilia,
46:14how many foreign men
46:15have you had affairs with?
46:16Just then,
46:17six more men
46:18stepped out from the crowd,
46:19each claiming
46:20their own child.
46:21Besides the two dragon generals,
46:23the remaining four
46:24were palace guard leaders.
46:25Even one lark baby girl
46:27was fathered
46:27by a lark attendant,
46:28my sister's revenge
46:29for Lise taking
46:30a lark concubine.
46:31All noble guests
46:32stared in stunned silence.
46:34Whispers spread
46:35outside the hall,
46:36bustling with gossip.
46:38Foiled in his attempt
46:39to kill the children,
46:40Lise poured all his fury
46:42onto my sister
46:42in the delivery chamber,
46:44storming inside
46:44with sword in hand.
46:49Weak from blood loss,
46:51my sister struggled
46:52to rise from the bed.
46:52Where are our children?
46:54What do they look like?
46:55Bring them to me quickly.
46:57Our children?
46:59They are your bastards
47:01with countless men.
47:04When did they become mine?
47:08Impossible.
47:10The children I gave birth to
47:12must be
47:12divine bird offspring.
47:17during that time,
47:18I only had relations
47:19with you and your clan,
47:20brother.
47:21You shameless fox witch!
47:24Having affairs
47:25with foreign clans
47:26is not enough.
47:27You even dared
47:28to seduce my clansmen.
47:29I was really blind
47:31to marry such a disaster
47:32as you.
47:33Guards!
47:34Take this witch
47:35to execution
47:36and torture her to death
47:37as a warning
47:38to all clans.
47:40Mobilize troops
47:41immediately
47:41to march on
47:42the Silver Moon
47:42Spirit Fox Castle
47:44and massacre
47:44the Fox Clan.
47:46Guards stepped forward
47:46to drag her away
47:47when an immortal official
47:49of the Divine Realm Emperor
47:50walked slowly
47:51into the hall.
47:52Stop.
47:54Burning with towering rage,
47:55Lakes forced down
47:56his killing intent
47:57upon seeing
47:58the Immortal Official.
47:59Immortal Official?
48:00Has the Emperor
48:00issued an Imperial Decree?
48:02The Immortal Official
48:03took out the Imperial Decree
48:04and read aloud publicly.
48:07Lord Lex of the Blazing Fire
48:09Divine Bird
48:09has repeatedly allowed
48:11his sacred fire
48:12to run rampant
48:13in the secret forest,
48:14massacring
48:15countless
48:15innocent beings.
48:18From this day forward,
48:20his Divine Bird
48:22Immortal Bones
48:22shall be stripped.
48:35The moment those words
48:37left his mouth,
48:38heavenly soldiers
48:38and generals
48:39emerged from all directions.
48:41The Immortal Official
48:42had waited outside
48:43not for rewards,
48:44but to arrest him
48:45by Imperial order.
48:52Realizing the danger,
48:53Lakes soared into the sky
48:54to flee the Divine Realm,
48:55burning everything
48:56in his path
48:57with sacred fire.
49:09As the out-of-control fire
49:10drew near me,
49:11Xavier instantly
49:12appeared to shield me.
49:13Lakes' hellfire
49:14recoiled before
49:15Xavier's Dark Dragon power,
49:17daring not draw near.
49:18He took off
49:19his Divine Patterned Robe
49:20and draped it
49:21gently over me.
49:24This robe is woven
49:25from 10,000-year
49:26ice silk and silk,
49:28restraining hellfire.
49:30Protect our child well.
49:32I will return shortly.
49:37Xavier soared into the sky,
49:39instantly capturing
49:40and subduing
49:41the fleeing lakes,
49:42filled with unwillingness.
49:52With a wave of his sleeve,
49:54Xavier summoned
49:55dozens of spirit beasts
49:56maimed by the sacred fire
49:57to appear.
49:58Xavier cast soul-searching magic,
50:01reading the memories
50:01of all spirits.
50:02Every scene
50:03clearly showed
50:04Lise recklessly burning
50:05the forest
50:05and disregarding life.
50:07Even the day
50:08my sister saved him
50:09was no accidental chivalry.
50:11Lakes had wantonly
50:12slaughtered low-level spirits,
50:13only being injured
50:14when cornered spirits
50:15self-destructed my sister
50:16merely chanced
50:17upon the opportunity.
50:19Witnesses and evidence
50:20were irrefutable.
50:21Lakes roared
50:22in helpless fury.
50:23My mother was imprisoned
50:25for a hundred years
50:26merely for burning
50:27a sacred tree!
50:28Why must I endure
50:30such harsh punishment?
50:33These lowly spirits
50:35are like ants.
50:36What does it matter
50:37if they burn to death?
50:38Being burned
50:39by my sacred fire
50:40is an honor!
50:42I just like
50:43watching everything
50:44burn to ashes.
50:46Only this
50:46can vet my inner resent!
50:54The Emperor's voice
50:55echoed from the sky
50:56was solemn and indifferent.
51:04Your mother's sentence
51:05has long been served.
51:09I ordered her
51:11release today.
51:13But your sins
51:14are grave
51:15and your temperament
51:16violent.
51:17You shall be
51:18imprisoned
51:19in the Nine Heavens
51:20purgatory
51:21for a thousand years
51:22of tremoring,
51:23never permitted
51:24to leave
51:25purgatory forever.
51:27A mournful whale
51:28escaped the blazing fire
51:29divine birth
51:30as he was dragged away
51:31and imprisoned
51:32by heavenly soldiers.
51:33Having watched
51:34this farce unfold,
51:39Xavier lifted me
51:40gently into his arms,
51:42teleporting back
51:42to the Shadow
51:43Divine Realm Palace.
51:44A magical,
51:45spiritual spring
51:46medicinal pool
51:46had long been
51:47prepared for my delivery.
51:48Amelia,
51:50water birth
51:51eases maternal pain
51:52and nourishes the child.
51:55This pool
51:56is infused
51:56with ten thousand
51:57year
51:58Ginseng
51:58slurichal roots
51:59I sought.
52:03Xavier broke
52:04the magic
52:05that had concealed
52:05my pregnancy status.
52:10It will replenish
52:11your vitality
52:12and stabilize
52:13your power.
52:14Don't be afraid.
52:16I will stay
52:17by your side
52:18forever.
52:21With that,
52:22he placed
52:23a Dragon Core Elixir
52:24into my mouth,
52:24exactly the same
52:25as in my past life.
52:27The Elixir
52:27protected my heart
52:28meridians,
52:29withstanding my child's
52:30powerful, innate power
52:31and ensuring
52:32my safe delivery.
52:36After Xavier
52:37had arranged
52:37everything for me,
52:38he waited anxiously
52:39outside the door.
52:47accompanied by
52:48a clear infant cry,
52:49my child
52:49was safely born.
52:54The baby's skin
52:55glowed faintly red,
52:56covered in faint
52:57shadow dragon scales,
52:58shrouded in icy
52:59cold magic aura.
53:01It is an innate
53:02ice element
53:03ancient shadow
53:04black dragon descendant.
53:06Just then,
53:06strange radiance
53:07rippled across my body.
53:09The ancient seal
53:09locked within me
53:10for a thousand,
53:11suddenly loosened,
53:12vast,
53:13surging magic power
53:14pouring forth.
53:15My nine-tailed
53:16spirit fox,
53:17true form manifested,
53:18an ice lotus
53:19divine mark
53:19blooming between my brows.
53:24A full thousand
53:25years have passed,
53:26you have finally
53:27woken and returned.
53:29Xavier leaned down
53:30to kiss my forehead
53:30gently.
53:31I finally remembered
53:32everything.
53:33I was never
53:34an ordinary orphan
53:35of the silver moon
53:35spirit fox clan.
53:36I was the remaining
53:37bloodline of the
53:38ancient Lena
53:39fox divine clan.
53:40Xavier had long
53:41been my betrothed
53:42ancient shadow dragon
53:43by ancient oath.
53:44A thousand years
53:45later,
53:45my remnant soul
53:46awakened with sealed
53:48power and memories,
53:49wandering into
53:49the spirit fox castle.
53:51He recognized
53:52my true form
53:52at first sight,
53:54severing my ties
53:54with the cold-hearted
53:55fox tribe,
53:56awakening my memories
53:57and divine power
53:58little by little
53:59while sheltering me
54:00by his side.
54:01Fortunately,
54:03across a thousand years,
54:04we never lost
54:05each other after all.
