49 Chapter 49
"Seen enough?"
A commanding and powerful voice of a female was heard as Xiao kept looking at his surroundings, it's then that Xiao realized that right now he was in a vast hall which seemed to have no end, humongous pillars that seemed to pierce through the sky were around him and on each of this pillar there were several drawings
Each of the drawings and design was interesting and beautiful and each of them depicted pictures of phoenix's, all of them seemed to be representing a story and tails of the mighty past, a profound meaning seemed to be itched into each of them, meanings that the current Xiao was unable to decipher
Having seen enough Xiao raised his head and what he saw caused his eyes to widen, there in front of him was a single throne high above him and a woman sat on the throne seemingly looking down at him, the woman wore a red dress that hid her figure but it couldn't completely hide her exquisite body
She had red hair with several patches of yellow, her eyes were a mixture of red and yellow, her face was the epitome of beauty, Xiao could vow that her beauty was among the number one he had seen, her aura was that of an absolute ruler looking down at all, her whole aura was domineering, forcing others to move at her will
Her eyes seemed to hold powers and mysterious far above what Xiao could perceive, surrounding her floated several other figures, each of them was beautiful and handsome in their way, all of them floated at a step below her showing their respect and fear towards the woman but that was not the reason for Xiao's surprise
p
Of course, this does not mean that just anybody will look like a supreme beauty but everybody who cultivates is indeed much more beautiful and the ones who reach the absolute top even more so
"Humph, what's a filthy human doing here?"
Hearing the voice dripping with disdain Xiao broke out of his daze as he looked at an extremely handsome man, that was looking down at him, Xiao's eyes narrowed as he noticed that all of those that was floating above him had a look of disdain or minor dislike for him, while some were mostly unconcerned
"Oh~~someones a bit grumpy, why grandpa are you jealous that I will be more handsome than you when I grow up?"
Xiao spoke with a mischievous smile, causing the atmosphere to freeze as all those who were looking down at him now looked at him with atmost shock, they had never seen a human so relaxed and calm under them! any and all human will tremble with fear as they gazed upon them but Xiao was speaking to them as if they were of the same level!
"Oh? you sure got quite the tongue boy"
The man now looked at Xiao with a bit of interest and anger in his eyes, he wasn't too much affected by child words, he who reached his cultivation level already has a tough mentally, meanwhile, Xiao smiled as he heard the man's word, Xiao puffed his chest forward as he held Yun Yurou in his arms and spoke
"Of course, look at me! one look and you can see that I will be more handsome than you! it's only natural for the heavens to be jealous of my looks,"
Xiao's face was filled with sadness seemingly feeling sad for being born so handsome, meanwhile, the phoenix's floating above him were all flabbergasted as they looked at Xiao, they never in their life meet someone who kept spewing shit like Xiao but even then they couldn't disagree with Xiao, after all, he truly does look extremely pleasing at such a young age...
"Puff"
And it's within this a small chuckle released from the mouth of the woman who was sitting on the throne, she used her hands to cover her chuckles as she laughed out for a bit, her beautiful flaming eyes focused on Xiao, previously her eyes were only interested in Yun Yurou who was in Xiao's arms, while Xiao's existence was completely forgotten by her but now a hint of intrigue sparked in her eyes as her divine senses flooded Xiao
Xiao didn't reject it as he completely accepted the scanning of the woman whose face represented a pain of the past, soon several seconds ticked by as the woman's eyes start to furrow before a serious expression took her face, seeing it all the phoenix's that floated beside her trembled
"What are you?"
The woman spoke, her voice was so soothing that Xiao went into a daze and his heart started beating faster, all of his resistance seemed to fade as his mouth opened to speak but before he did something within him screamed out as his daze broke, Xiao didn't hesitate as he bit his lips causing him to bleed
The pain shook his mind as he finally got his bearing back, his eyes narrowed as the vigilance within his eyes increased, seeing Xiao regain his bearing so fast all of the phoenix's eyes widened in disbelief, even the woman on the throne had a hint of surprise, right now she didn't do anything it was just that her natural voice had the power to bring out such profoundness that Xiao naturally fell under her rhythm
And Xiao understood that too! that's why his vigilance increased, the only way to stop this was to be extremely powerful and the current Xiao doesn't have the power for it, a smirk lit upon the face of the woman on the throne as she spoke
"You are certainly an intriguing human, I have seen things within you that's quite interesting, I would surely look into you but first...."
As she spoke her eyes traveled to Yun Yurou who was in his arms and just as he blinked Yun Yurou disappeared from his arms as she appeared within the arms of the woman on the throne, Xiao's eyes narrowed at this but he didn't do anything, he knows fairly well that the current him couldn't do anything and he did the only thing he could, he waited
Yun Yurou floated before the woman on the throne, her furrowed face seemed to have gained some life as she neared the woman on the throne and soon she was within her arms, the woman raised her arms as a blazing flame that burns the space and the world started to wrap around Yun Yurou's and drilled deep into Yun Yurou's body
A minute later the woman on the throne lifted Yun Yurou as she gave her to her subordinate,
"Take her to the highest level of the furnace and make sure that she's given the best treatment possible and afterward give her the phoenix's blaze"
"!!!"
Hearing the last part of the woman's words, her subordinates almost fell to the ground, the phoenix blaze was not something just anybody could take but the others said nothing as they watched Yun Yurou being taken away
"Will she be okay?"
Xiao asked the woman at the throne, who looked down at him and spoke
"Yes, she will live but now why don't you tell me who you are and where did you find this girl?"
Xiao remained silent as he contemplated the answer, but as he tried to say who and where he was from, he could not speak! it was as if there was some sort of restriction that stops him from speaking the truth, just like that seconds ticked by as the silence in the room increased the suffocation that Xiao was feeling
