I Can Read People's Comments

[Chapter 195 Comments.]

[Keltic_Spirit: Pika boo! Did I surprise you? Other than that, the result of this game is: What actually is the eternal flame? Is it a doa path? Rule? Or just a being that can harness a special energy to burn (like void energy)?.]

…

'So, starting from chapter 193, huh?' Mia looked at the comments first. 'I'm not sure about the electrifying part, but if we're talking about combining my power with my father's power. Then, I think I can create a thread out of nowhere and let my father charge it with electricity. If we're not talking about the same thing, then forget it.

'As for the number, I think I've answered it per my father's request. And yes, I also want this to end as soon as possible. If we're following the cliche, there should be a punishment and inheritance for both Feng Xiaoling and her father. Then, we'll return and discuss the reward before going on our way. That's probably it.

'Next comment…. That's probably what happens. The fake soul tricked him and pulled out his body before sealing it somewhere. He took over the body to absorb the Eternal Flame. And once it was done, he only had to remove the original soul and become the real Feng Xiaoling's father. Also, we don't bring chips and soda here.

Mia lowered her vision to read the next comment. 'Yeah. If you're talking about numbers again. It's 95 now.

'And we finally catch up to the previous chapter's comment. I'm not sure about the Eternal Flame. He should be explaining about it after this.' Mia raised her head, looking at Feng Xiaoling. Now that she had replied to the comments, she could focus on these people.

Feng Xiaoling looked at Theo and said, "A human from another world. I'm thankful for your assistance. Without you, my descendants would end up destroying themselves."

Theo nodded calmly. "It's not a problem."

"In the past, the first person to go against the heavens, the demon lord, chose to split his power into nine. Then, the Supreme Nine Demon Races were born. Each side has two protectors. The Phoenix Race and the Dragon Race are the protectors of the east. There is one race that is protecting and awaiting for the next demon lord to revive.

"This is the origin of our Demon Races. My Phoenix Race is formed by one of its powers, holding the authority of tenacity. The fire that is so stubborn to continue to exist, indeed, that is me, the eternal flame.

"I am nothing but a phoenix. Once my body reaches a certain age, I discard my physical body and continue living as a flame. Well, you can say that I'm also waiting for the next demon lord to appear.

"However, what I have never thought is that there is actually an outsider coming into this world. I can't see what is happening outside, but I'm sure that you come from another world.

"As for the reason why a being from another world can appear here…" Feng Xiaoling stopped for a moment. "The age of chaos is about to begin."

"The age of chaos?" Theo couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. This Eternal Flame finally talked about the most troublesome topic. In the future, he would return here and he would definitely get an opponent much bigger than anything he had seen in this world.

And with the fact that Feng Xiaoling mentioned the age of chaos, it was clear that this was foreshadowing.

'Ah. Here we go again.' Theo thought in annoyance.

"Yes. Whatever the Phoenix Clan is facing right now, it can't be compared to the age of chaos. That's why I'd like to ask o' warrior from another world. Would you like to make a trade with me?"

"A trade?" Theo squinted his eyes as if he were judging whether this would bring him trouble or not. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

"The trade is simple. I am going to let this child inherit the Eternal Flame. Hence, I'd ask you to bring this child with you. I don't mind if you treat her as your maid."

"What? Maid?!" Feng Haotian widened his eyes in shock. As a father, there was no way he could agree to this.

However, Feng Xiaoling glared at him and said it with a cold tone. "What? Do you have any problems?"

Feng Haotian became tongue-tied. He didn't dare to rebuke his ancestors.

"I don't see the reason. At first, she offered her first phoenix tear to me as a reward for helping her father. But after knowing its worth, I have changed the terms to two normal phoenix tears, some martial arts, and three years of service. So…" Theo stopped.

Feng Haotian frowned upon the last condition, but he felt like this was similar to a punishment instead of a reward for Theo.

Feng Xiaoling smiled. "Please take care of this child for ten years. I'm sure that her power will be beneficial for you. As for the reward, I have two flame mantras. The one that the phoenix race inherits from me is the True Flame Mantra, and the other one is the Star Flame Mantra.

"Once you cultivate the Star Flame Mantra, you can borrow the power of the star, which can strengthen your ability and body. What do you think?"

Theo frowned. "I don't really want to get into this troublesome problem, but…"

On the one hand, Theo wanted to reject this. On the other hand, if he accepted it, the Phoenix clan would definitely become his ally.

With the Snow Blossom Sect and the Phoenix Race, he should be able to become more flexible during his next visit.

When he thought about this, Theo only sighed, thinking, 'It seems that the author is preparing this deal that I can't reject.'

Theo glanced at Mia, who nodded her head.

Before accepting it, Theo asked, "In that case, can you answer this one question?"

"Please." Feng Xiaoling nodded.

"Why did you choose me? In the end, I'm not the residence of this world."

"I might be wrong, but is the cultivation world linked only to one world? Or is it linked to nine or ten worlds?"

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in shock. There were a lot of numbers he could think of, but he chose nine or ten, which could be interpreted as one original world and nine connected worlds, or simply a total of ten worlds connected to each other.

"How do you know?" Feng Haotian gasped.

The Eternal Flame said, "I believe this is fate. The reason I chose you is simply because you are similar to the demon lord."

"Me?" Theo frowned while Feng Haotian dropped his jaw. There was no second demon lord born in this world, so he didn't expect that the first ancestor would claim it that way.

"From the way I see it, you have about four different types of powers, each belonging to a different world. So, I came to the conclusion that you are trying to gather power from each world, giving you a total of nine powers excluding your original power.

"If you think it that way, don't you think you are similar to the demon lord?"

Theo fell silent. He never thought that the phoenix thought it this way. Inscription, Dao, Spirit, and Illusion were Theo's current powers. And he indeed wanted to learn all the power that the ten worlds could offer.

'Tsk. It seems that I can't really get away from this.' Theo sighed. "Fine. I will take care of her. However, the time limit is five years."

While he believed that three years would allow him to reach a world's peak, he believed that if he wanted to become the singularity of the ten worlds, he would need about five years. And that was probably when he could meet the author.

Once it was over, he planned to go back. So, the Theo in this world would die like what was supposed to happen a few months ago.

"That's fine too." Feng Xiaoling smiled. "Thank you for agreeing to such an absurd request."

A golden light appeared from the phoenix manifestation and turned into a scroll. The scroll floated into Theo's hands.

"This is the Star Flame Mantra. You may do whatever you wish to it."

"Mhmm." Theo nodded. He looked at this golden scroll and felt the ethereal aura from it to the point where he thought it was similar to what the phoenix manifestation had.

This first ancestor was truly sly. He gave Theo the right to do whatever he wanted, but he knew that it would be better to show this to Feng Xiaoling so that she would be much more useful.

However, Theo could still teach this to someone else. The perfect one to learn it would be Lancelot, but he might need it later, so he would just give him a copy later.

The reason why the first ancestor wanted Feng Xiaoling to follow him was because he resembled the demon lord and also because he could teach Feng Xiaoling a lot of things. That would definitely allow her to reach much higher than her father.

Having a phoenix as a maid was indeed something he had never thought possible before. While Theo knew that having a Phoenix Race as an ally would be good, he was worried about another thing.

'The readers and the author have been foreshadowing about Yue Yi's behaviors… Don't tell me, Feng Xiaoling and Yue Yi will fight tomorrow because of their connection with me…' Theo looked annoyed.

Meanwhile, Mia had a different thought from her father. She was actually smiling inside, thinking, 'This phoenix deserves to be their first ancestor. He can recognize the main character. The side characters are nothing compared to the MC. Hehehehehe."
