”Prince Mo …”

Lan Yi unbelievably covered his mouth, his trembling hands pointing at the slender figure as he exclaimed in a low voice.

Yesterday, when she slowly woke up, her memory was jolted awake, and she finally remembered that she was the Hall Master of the Plum Shadow Palace.

And what had happened to her after she was kidnapped might have been too painful to remember, or she didn't want to remember.

Therefore, in her memories, Jun Mohan was still not the Blood Fiend Hall Master, but instead the talented prince of the Eastern County.

”What?”

Everyone looked towards the direction of her shout, and when the black shadow walked in, they saw that it was actually Jun Mohan.

His face was pale, paler than the snow. His lips were bloodless, and his body was so weak that he could fall at any moment.

”Miss …”

”Palace Lord …”

”Xi Er...”

However, he was holding Bai Zhixi who was covered in blood in his hands, and a few bloodied spirit butterflies landed on every part of her body. Upon closer inspection, the spirit butterfly was actually trembling, flapping its wings and struggling.

”We must save her!”

Jun Mohan's colorless lips slightly moved, and then, he slowly fell into the snow.

At that moment, they clearly saw the reluctance in Jun Mohan's eyes, to the point that he had never let go of Bai Zhixi's body even after he fainted.

”Men, bring Phoenixis Maiden to the Ice and Snow Pavilion.”

Qu Zun Si shot a cold glance at Jun Mohan and ordered with his calm voice.

She had heard a little about Jun Mohan's matter. The person that the King of Hell asked for was actually worth the life of the Phoenixis Maiden to save, is the man in the world really so good?

But why didn't she believe that there was such a man in the world?

Snow was falling heavily, without any signs of stopping.

To put it simply, the Ice and Snow Pavilion of the Plum Shadow Palace was a secret room in the Phoenixis Maiden for the cultivation of internal energy.

The room was covered in layers of ice and snow. Cold mist shrouded the room, and the cold seeped into the marrow. Waves of icy air struck the bones, making everyone shiver.

After Hong Mei and the rest placed Bai Zhixi on the ice bed, they were chased out by Qu Zongsi. They could only wait at the entrance while braving the heavy snow.

”Xi Er, how could you be so foolish?”

Qu Zun Si reached out his hand to stroke his pale sleeping face and murmured softly.

Following which, she waved her hand in every direction, causing the surroundings of the secret chamber to change. It was a dazzling sight.

After a while, a portrait of the previous generations of Phoenixis Maiden was suddenly hung around the wall, they all stared fixedly at Bai Zhixi who was lying on the bed, on the verge of death.

When Swordmaster Qu saw this, his eyebrows shot up in joy. He quickly kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to them as he began to chant.

”We pay our respects to the ancestors.” This humble servant has no talent and is unable to protect Phoenixis Maiden. Thus, I hastily came here to disturb the rest of the ancestors. Phoenixis Maiden was unconscious, and had committed a mistake. I hope the ancestors can be merciful enough to save her life, and also save the lives of everyone in the world. This servant will take his leave. ”

After saying that, she kowtowed to the portrait again before slowly leaving.

In the past, her master had told her that as a person of Southern Barbarian, as well as as as a Phoenixis Maiden, their greatest responsibility was to protect Phoenixis Maiden at all costs, including their own lives.

Eighteen years ago, Bai Zhixi's mother ignored her advice and resolutely married Nangong Xuanyin. In a moment of anger, she went back to the Plum Shadow Palace alone, and swore that she would never take another step out of the Plum Shadow Palace again in her life.

Ye Shixue left for three years.

In this life, Phoenixis Maiden was only responsible for finding the descendants of the seven great families for the next Phoenixis Maiden and nurturing them, helping the next Phoenixis Maiden accomplish his responsibility of unifying the world.

Secondly, he had sealed Hua Wuxie once more, so that his soul would forever be sealed on the lone island in Demon Subduing Mountain, and not be able to reincarnate for all eternity.

Thirteen years ago, when she felt that Ye Shixue's life was at stake and felt thousands of grievances in her heart, she still proceeded to Southern Frontier to help Ye Shixue.

By the time she rushed to Southern Frontier, Ye Shixue had already been brought away. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find any trace of her.

One day, she had occasionally heard people talking about a concubine who was as beautiful as a flower in the Xi Liang palace. That description was extremely similar to Ye Shixue's, and she had hurried to the Xi Liang alone to meet the concubine that was rumored to be there.

It was the Phoenixis Maiden she had always been worried about.

At that moment, she felt that her worries were unnecessary. A feeling of deceit filled her mind, making her extremely angry.

She, who had a violent temper, went to find Ye Shixue and asked her why she abandoned a child of the Southern Frontier to become the imperial concubine of the Xi Liang.

Unexpectedly, Ye Shixue did not explain to her the reason. Instead, with a white-haired man and a red seductive woman, she was on the verge of death.

If not for the timely arrival of the Plum Shadow Palace disciples who saved her, she wouldn't be where she was today.

After that, Ye Shixue had been constantly searching for her whereabouts, while she had been hiding in the Plum Blossom Palace, wholeheartedly cultivating.

Fifteen years ago, there was a change in the sky, which signaled the birth of the Phoenixis Maiden.

At that time, she had fiercely despised Ye Shixue. Someone like her was not fit to become a Phoenixis Maiden, much less have a next generation.
