Wasn't my mother dead?

”I lost my memory. I don't remember anything.”

After a long while, Bai Zhixi finally spat out a few words.

If the girl in front of him was his previous self's mother, then why didn't she appear together with him, causing her previous self to be bullied so badly by the people from Prime Minister's Estate?

”Child, mother has let you down. You've suffered.”

The woman stood in the distance, crying quietly. She reached out her hand to protect her, but then she pulled it back.

Hearing her say that, Bai Zhixi felt as if she was talking about him, not her previous self.

She could tell that the woman wanted to hug her, but for some reason, she didn't move forward.

She gathered up her courage and walked step by step towards the woman.

Bai Zhixi, forgive me. Let me experience a mother's love.

She slowly closed her eyes and threw herself into the woman's embrace. However, he did not have the maternal love that he had imagined. Instead, he was hugging a cold ice pillar.

She suddenly woke up from her stupor and turned around. The girl had long since sobbed and stood firmly behind her.

Only now did she clearly see that the woman's body was transparent. She was just an illusion.

Bai Zhixi was unwilling, he repeatedly hugged her, and every time he hugged her, he would pass through her body.

”Mom, what's wrong?”

With great difficulty, she spat out a few words, her face ashen as she stood opposite the woman and asked her.

”Xi Er, this is just an illusion of mother. I know that you will come here sooner or later, and you will know everything. Child, you've suffered all these years. Mother has let you down! ”

After she finished speaking, she caressed Bai Zhixi's face with her transparent hands, a kind maternal love flowing down her face.

”Mom, where are you?”

Bai Zhixi carefully held onto that illusory hand, but it didn't have the gentleness that it should have and was still as cold as ever.

”Xi Er, come here.”

The woman smiled gently, but did not answer the question that Bai Zhixi posed.

Suddenly, she pointed at Bai Zhixi's brow, and a warm flow of air entered Bai Zhixi's body.

”Xi Er, mother will pass down the method of controlling the blood bead to you today. You must remember, you are a descendant of the Phoenixis Maiden, only the Phoenixis Maiden is qualified to have a blood bead, and you have an unavoidable responsibility. ”

The woman carried her and slowly floated into the air, narrating the relationship between the blood bead and the Phoenixis Maiden.

Even though Master Pu Hai had said it to her once, it wasn't complete.

Several thousand years ago, when the Phoenixis Maiden descended into the world, it was not as insufferably arrogant as the rumors said it was.

She had been living in a state of inferiority and had lost all hope in this world. She wanted to end her young life as soon as possible.

Once, she was chased to the edge of a cliff, where her beloved man shot her in the chest before pushing her into the deep abyss behind her.

Only then did she realize that there was no one in this world who cared about her. She wanted to be the ruler of this world and make those who had hurt her pay the price.

Perhaps the heavens had heard her thoughts, but she did not die. Instead, she fell into a forest full of strange and precious fruits.

From then on, she used the heavens as her blanket, took the earth as her bed, took the fruits as her food, and took the dew as her water. She lived a life that was akin to that of a god.

Before long, she discovered that her martial arts had increased tremendously and her inner strength was extraordinary. Her heart was filled with joy. Every day, apart from training in martial arts, she would focus on studying formations and martial arts techniques.

Day after day, year after year, she did not know how many spring, summer, autumn, and winter she had lived through.

There are times of loneliness and fatigue. She suddenly had the thought of going out for a walk.

After that, she performed her Qing Gong and walked out of this place easily. She had no idea how many years she had lived in this place for.

It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or the heavens' arrangement, but as soon as she flew up, she bumped into a man covered with swords.

She originally wanted to stand aside and watch without doing anything. She didn't want the man to tightly grab her hand, so no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break it.

She was so angry that she was unable to save the man. Furthermore, she somehow managed to revive him.

The man had been poisoned from the start, but he didn't expect that after drinking her blood, the poison would be cured. That was why he was saved.

A few months later, the man recovered his health. He told Phoenixis Maiden that he needed to go back and avenge his grievances, and asked if she could lend him a hand.

After being together for perhaps a few months, Phoenixis Maiden actually fell in love with him, and they returned to the man's hometown together.

Sui Yong for fifteen years. The Sui Emperor, Qin Ao Tian, and the Queen, Feng Zhu Yin were dominating the world and unifying the lands.

The next year, the empress gave birth to a princess. The emperor was overjoyed.

Five years passed in peace. After the empress gave birth to her daughter, she was diagnosed by the imperial physician as barren.

However, it was impossible for such a large country to be handed over to a girl. The Emperor could not endure the chancellor's words, thus he accepted many beautiful concubines into the palace.
