Chapter 120 - Extra: Feng Yi II
Feng Yi would always remember that day. The Mid-Autumn Festival, August 15th, was the New Year of the Phoenix clan. All the Phoenixes were having a carnival to celebrate that year’s harvest.
Feng Yi sneaked into Huang Yi’s palace with the help of the high priest.
This was the first time he had been able to get close there. Huang Yi was afraid that everyone would get close to the Phoenix inheritance and guarded it tightly. But Feng Yi wasn’t afraid, nor was he worried or nervous. As soon as he entered, he felt the Phoenix inheritance calling him.
He pushed open the many palace doors, and before he could search for them, a small, all-white phoenix flew towards him.
The little Phoenix liked him very much and kept chirping around him with a sweet and clear voice.
Feng Yi was surprised. He hadn’t expected that the Phoenix inheritance had its own spiritual consciousness. But that made sense. If it didn’t have spiritual consciousness, how could it keep rejecting Huang Yi?
“Come!” Feng Yi stretched out his hand toward it.
The little phoenix screamed loudly and suddenly penetrated into his forehead. Immediately, a dazzling red light exploded from his body, spreading like a water wave across the entire Phoenix Clan.
Huang Yi, who had sensed that Phoenix Inheritance recognized its master, went crazy and joined forces with Huang Er and Huang San to surround Feng Yi. She wanted to eat Feng Yi alive.
Feng Yi had practiced forbearance for many years, and his magic power was far superior to the three of them. With the blessing of the Phoenix inheritance, they were no match for Feng Yi.
Feng Yi had hated them deeply and changed back to his original form. It was a huge fire phoenix, its whole body composed of violent phoenix fire. He had opened his mouth wide and wanted to devour his three useless sisters.
They were incompetent, cowardly, and cruel. There was nothing that could compare with him. Just because they were female phoenixes, were they born noble? His mother had rather passed the throne to a bastard like Huang Yi than acknowledge him. She hadn’t even had the slightest thought of finding him since she abandoned him!
Feng Yi’s anger, resentment, and fury accumulated over the years had reached the extreme as his strength increased. He wanted to tear them apart and eat them!
The three female phoenixes were trembling, and at the critical moment, a bolt of lightning flashed over Feng Yi’s head. Feng Yi suddenly remembered his Heavenly Father, his rationality returned, and his evil appearance disappeared. If the Heavenly Father had known that he had devoured blood relatives, would he still have wanted him again?
That night, the entire Western Heaven changed hands.
Feng Yi did not kill his three sisters; he exiled them to a deserted land. Before driving them away, he plucked out all their tail feathers and made a colourful fan.
The Phoenix clan was proud of their tail feathers. Whoever had the largest and longest tail feathers was the most beautiful. The sisters who had lost their tail feathers were like bereaved dogs, humiliated and struggling to survive in the desolate land.
Every time Feng Yi was in a bad mood, he would wave his colourful fan and visit them. Seeing that they were not doing well made him happy.
Feng Yi had become the new king and avenged his shame.
However, the Phoenix clan’s bad habit of worshiping the female phoenix and the light-coloured phoenix remained unchanged. Feng Yi had become the Phoenix King and sadly discovered that he could not change the customs and traditions of the Phoenix clan. He could only respect them. Even he himself could only use the power of the Phoenix inheritance when he was dressed as a woman.
The good news was that he was completely free after taking control of the power. He could almost do whatever he wanted and do whatever he pleased.
Probably because he had discovered how powerful he was, Heavenly Father no longer resisted him so much. He could see Heavenly Father from time to time, and occasionally Heavenly Father would let him stay at home for a period of time.
For Feng Yi, there was only one home, which was with the Heavenly Father.
The happy and beautiful days were always so short. Heavenly Father had returned to the realm of Taixu, Wu Xiao and Huo Yao had broken up, and the once warm family had become fragmented.
But soon, Feng Yi discovered that his Heavenly Father had become closer to him after his return, even more trusting than Huo Yao.
Feng Yi had been happy at first. He had been delighted with the favour of his Heavenly Father. But as time passed, Feng Yi also felt that something was wrong. Although Heavenly Father in front of him had the same face as his Heavenly Father, and he remembered everything between them, it always felt like there was a layer between them.
Perhaps, this was the difference between the body and spirit of the master of heaven and earth?
Until that day, he saw Xie Zuo in the abyss. The spontaneous and irresistible kindness made him hold Xie Zuo and burst into tears.
The more Feng Yi came into contact with Xie Zuo, the more he became indistinguishable from his Heavenly Father.
When Xie Zuo’s tribulation was approaching, Huo Yao suddenly found Feng Yi, handed over the Deity of Thunder’s post to him for safekeeping, and ordered him to hide.
Feng Yi already had a vague suspicion in his mind. But he was still careless. He wanted to verify again. Was Tiandi that had attached great importance to him and been close to him all these years fake? Could it be that the Heavenly Father would only treat him with indifference and rejection? If it was true, where had Heavenly Father gone? Was it really…
Feng Yi didn’t listen to Huo Yao’s words. He went to the realm of Taixu and tried to test Tiandi, but he didn’t know that he had been exposed long ago. Feng Yi hadn’t expected that even if Tiandi in the Taixu Realm was fake, it could easily control him. By the time Feng Yi came to his senses, a big mistake had been made.
The hatred and the collective betrayal of his clan made Feng Yi understand that he had no way out.
Feng Yi looked at the indignant clansmen around him, and at the high priest with a cold expression, and suddenly remembered the night he had seized the throne, and they had done the same to the failed Huang Yi. They never pitied losers and would always be selfish. They never cared about right or wrong, only who could bring benefits to them.
When he was brilliant, they would surrender to him, praise him, and show him their best qualities. When he fell from the clouds, they would immediately trample him into the mud.
‘Feng Yi, Feng Yi, had you forgotten? In the three hundred years since you had returned to the Phoenix Clan, you had witnessed their evil every day.’
It was okay not to want such a clansman. Such a clan would never be seen again!
Feng Yi forced the phoenix inheritance out of his body, and the little phoenix reluctantly flew out, fluttering its wings and trying to get into him again, but he refused.
Feng Yi ignited the fire of Phoenix Inheritance.
Feng Yi could have killed all his clan members, and his Phoenix Karmic Fire could have burned down the entire Phoenix Clan. But he chose to burn himself. Heavenly Father was still alive. Heavenly Father would not have liked him killing people indiscriminately. He had to learn to control it.
He was a phoenix, and he would be reborn!
