CHAPTER 248: FENG XUE’S STORY 1

As the three were pondering the situation, a stone door slid open and Feng Xue exited the hidden room.

"Yang Shi." She called.

Hearing the call, Yang Shi turned around and looked at the woman.

At this time, Feng Xue was looking at Zhen Yuan with wide eyes.

’I understand.’ She thought.

When she asked Yang Shi why he called his master’s Taoist partner a lord, the snake could not answer.

Back then, Feng Xue thought Yang Shi was blinded by his affection for his master.

However, now that she saw Zhen Yaun, she completely understood Yang Shi’s respect for the man.

After all, she also instinctively felt a soul-deep awe for this man she had just met.

’His identity is not simple.’ She thought and subconsciously clenched her hands.

After thinking about it, she had already decided to form a temporary contract with Yang Shi’s master.

However, now that she met the couple, she felt that making a permanent contract was the right choice.

"Xue’er, come and meet my master and lord Zhen." Yang Shi invited.

"Okay." Feng Xue agreed and hastily walked to the three.

"Master, lord Zhen, this is Feng Xue; the one I told you about." Yang Shi introduced and the other two nodded in greeting.

"Xue’er, this is my master and his taoist partner. My master is Shen Xu and his taoist partner is Zhen Yuan." The snake introduced and simultaneously pointed at the two.

"It’s good to meet alchemist Shen and lord Zhen." Feng Xue said and Shen Xu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow in question.

’Yet another one who calls Ayuan ’lord Zhen’.’ He thought but didn’t bother to ask.

After all, he had already questioned Xiaoren and Yang Shi but neither could tell him why they were so respectful to Zhen Yuan.

’I will know when the time is right.’ He thought.

"Feng Xue, it’s nice to meet you." Shen Xu said and quickly continued.

"What are your plans?"

Feng Xue lowered her eyes when she heard the question.

Although she had decided to form a contract with Shen Xu, she didn’t know how to bring up the matter.

Most importantly, her identity and life were not simple.

Thinking of this, she clenched her hands and a trace of unease flashed in her eyes.

"Alchemist Shen, I would like to form a contract with you." She said but continued without waiting for the three people’s reaction.

"However, my situation is a bit complicated."

"What’s the matter?" Shen Xu asked.

"I..." Feng Xue started, sighed, and hardened her resolve.

"Yang Shi should have already told you that I am a phoenix. My family is the royal line of the phoenix clan in the upper level of the immortal realm."

Hearing this, Shen Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.

In the book, monster clans looked down on human cultivators.

This was especially true for the monster cultivators from the four divine clans.

Knowing this, Shen Xu was not only surprised that Feng Xue was a royal from the upper level but also shocked that she didn’t look down on him and Zhen Yue.

’As expected, Ayuan’s identity is very special.’ He thought and couldn’t help but smile at his husband.

After Zhen Yuan returned the smile, the two turned to Feng Xue.

"Do you have a conflict with the phoenix clan?" Zhen Yuan asked and Feng Xue nodded.

"There is a life and death conflict." She revealed.

When they heard this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan glanced at each other.

If Shen Xu contracted Feng Xue, her conflict would become their conflict.

However, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu weren’t afraid of trouble.

What they were worried about was that Feng Xue was the villain.

No matter what, they didn’t want to get involved in an unrighteous cause.

Thinking this way, Shen Xu narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman.

"What’s the conflict about?" He asked but Feng Xue shook her head.

"I can’t talk about it for the time being but I can swear that I have not done anything evil or shameful."

"I see." Shen Xu said and turned to Zhen Yuan.

"How long have you been in the cultivation world?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"Almost six hundred thousand years." Feng Xue readily answered.

"Can you tell us about your time in the cultivation world?" Shen Xu questioned and Feng Xue hesitated before she began telling her story.

After choosing the nine lives rebirth technique, a space portal appeared and she was teleported to the Tianxuan continent.

Fortunately, her mother had made preparations so Feng Xue was not helpless when she arrived in the Tianxuan continent.

In the first five hundred thousand years, she practiced in the portable secret realm her mother prepared.

As a result, she achieved eight rebirths without encountering any problems.

Unfortunately, the prepared resources were not enough and the secret realm collapsed at the beginning of her ninth rebirth.

Even more unfortunate, after the collapse, Feng Xue appeared in a dangerous area and was severely injured by a monster.

That said, her luck was not all bad.

Just when she was waiting for death, she was rescued by a passing cultivator.

The cultivator was a supreme elder of the Tianxuan sect.

At that time, Feng Xue looked like a child because she had just started her ninth life.

Most importantly, she lost her memory because of the monster attack and temporarily forgot her identity.

Fortunately, her mother had long sealed her bloodline and aspects regarding her age and identity.

Because of this, when the supreme elder examined her, he only learned she was extremely talented but didn’t uncover her identity or actual age.

In the end, he adopted her and brought her back to the Tianxuan sect.

Several years later, Feng Xue began cultivating.

However, she failed every time when she tried the technique her adoptive father taught her.

One day, when she was about to give up, a technique appeared in her mind.

This technique was the nine lives rebirth technique and thinking that she had nothing to lose, Feng Xue tried it.

But once she started, everything felt natural and she quickly advanced in her cultivation.

In no time, her name was known all over the Tianxuan continent and thousands of suitors appeared one after the other.
