Hashirama and the others had long known of A-Bai's existence, but every time they saw her, they were still shocked.
"It's truly hard to imagine that A-Bai was originally a White Feather Chicken, yet after weathering countless trials, she ultimately became such a beautiful Phoenix."
"Yeah, it's surprising every time."
As everyone chatted and marveled, Chisato's clone came out carrying the child.
Xin was tiny, wrapped in swaddling clothes. She seemed to be sleeping soundly, completely unaware of everything around her.
"Mm, she's a good baby." As A-Bai spoke, she plucked a feather from her chest. The feather immediately erupted in blazing flames before drifting toward the sleeping Xin.
No one present felt nervous. They all knew A-Bai would never hurt Xin.
The instant the feather touched Xin, it turned to ash and scattered over her body.
"This will greatly strengthen her fire-nature Chakra and give her a trace of a Phoenix's power."
This gesture delighted Chisato. "Not bad, not bad. Looks like I'll be gaining another disciple."
At that moment, Xin seemed to be disturbed awake by the changes in her body and wriggled a few times.
Her tiny hands flailed through the air, but she soon fell asleep again.
"Children are like this. All they do every day is sleep. She'll be better once she grows a little."
Looking at the child she had given birth to, An'hua still felt as though it wasn't quite real.
But the lightness in her body constantly reminded her that she could finally relax.
This experience was something An'hua would never forget for the rest of her life. It was a feeling no one else could truly understand.
"I hope my Little Princess grows up quickly. She'll definitely become a beautiful little girl someday."
Everyone was looking forward to it as well.
