The Phoenix Arises

Chapter 36.2: Three Years Later

In the past, she was the Emperor’s most favoured concubine. If not for that incident with Consort Xue that made the Emperor became uninterested in all the women in the harem, why would she need to rely on that sinister Empress to pass her days by?

Sigh, so what if she was the Empress? Every night spent was still a lonesome night.

……….

In the Raging Flames Pagoda, Duanmu Xi continued to absorb and refine the fire spirit energy. As she continued to cultivate, her body began to glow with a red light from time to time.

“Ah……” 

After her body glowed with the red light, Duanmu Xi opened her eyes slowly.

She had actually broken through from a Fire Spirit Warrior and had became a Fire Spirit Master.

This speed was too shocking, if outside, to be able to reach the realm of a Fire Spirit Master from a Fire Spirit Warrior, it would need a few years. However, in here, all it took was just a month!

Duanmu Xi looked up and scanned her surroundings, she discovered that there was some changes to the space around her. The space seemed smaller and the fire spirit energy was also purer.

Did this mean that with every increase in rank, this space would also increase by a level?

Duanmu Xi was elated and immediately closed her eyes to continue cultivating.

Time passed in a flash, like a shooting star soaring across the skies.

Duanmu Xi stayed in the Raging Flames Pagoda and concentrated on her cultivation, completely forgetting about the passage of time. She did not know how much time had passed but only knew that the white robes that she wore had shortened considerably and her chest that had not presented much of a curve before had made her robes tighter. Her fine black hair was also much longer than when she first entered.

She was now a Ninth Grade Fire Spirit Sovereign. She has not been out for so long, her parents would definitely be worried! There is also Snowy….

White Tiger Kingdom Prince Zhan’s Residence.

Standing by the window, Xuanyuan Mo who was cloaked in black looked out at the beautiful white scenery as his thoughts drifted away.

At the age of twenty, he had grown much taller and his face had become more mature. Although his chiselled good looks were more refined, he looked much colder than before.

It had been three years since he had returned to the White Tiger Kingdom and yet there was still no news of Little Xi from the Vermillion Bird Empire. Was she doing well?

He really, really missed her….

“Your Highness.”

Li Shang entered the room and bowed.

Li Shang was the Snow Wolf that was sent by Elder Snow to take care of Xuanyuan Mo.

“What is it?”

Xuanyuan Mo did not turn his head and continue staring at the snow scape before him.

Li Shang lowered his gaze and reported, “The Emperor has sent another ten beauties.”

“Throw them out.”

The was not a thread of warmth in his frosty voice.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Li Shang bowed and nodded his head. There was not a sliver of surprise from his reaction.

Three years had passed and every year, the Emperor would hold a banquet to select a consort for the Prince but His Highness never once participated in it. All the beauties that the Emperor sent over had also been thrown out
