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