Permanence's Xi

Who am I? Where am I? What was I supposed to do again?

Ling Luochan stood there in a daze, staring wide-eyed as Fu Xi's Little Phoenix appeared before her.

If Fu Xi's little face had not also been full of embarrassment, she would have thought they were about to start some carriage-pulling plot.

"Oh? You want to use the method of mingling flesh and spirit to strengthen someone else's martial soul?"

Gu Qiu'er gave Fu Xi's Little Phoenix a strange glance. Did this brat really have that ability?

"Then what do I do next?"

Fu Xi covered his Little Phoenix and shyly asked Gu Qiu'er.

"What do you mean, what do you do? Mingle flesh and spirit?"

"Let me think. First, you need to find the place on her body..."

"Stop!"

The corner of Bi Ji's mouth twitched as she interrupted the conversation that had wandered to the edge of censorship.

Meanwhile, Ling Luochan, who was kneeling on one knee nearby, let out a fierce sigh of relief!

Even her white-stockinged calf twitched sharply!

Although she had considered that this day might come when she submitted, it was still far too soon!

"Fu Xi? What are you doing? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Bi Ji asked helplessly. Having raised Fu Xi for six years, she naturally knew that he had most likely misunderstood something again.

"It was Sister Suyi, the group leader sister. She said I only needed to summon Little Phoenix."

Fu Xi blinked and spoke in confusion.

"Then why didn't you summon your martial soul?"

Bi Ji raised a brow.

"Not my martial soul. Sister Suyi said she wanted to see my Little Phoenix. She actually meant my little dick."

Fu Xi explained seriously.

"Pfft! Hahahahahaha!"

Gu Qiu'er was already laughing herself silly. She fell backward onto all fours, laughing so hard that she could not turn herself over!

"You must have misunderstood. What we need here is your martial soul, not..."

"Wait! Say that again. Your Sister Suyi wanted to see your Little Phoenix?!"

"You showed it to her?"

Realizing something was wrong, Bi Ji's vision went black at once! The little cabbage she had raised for so many years had been molested by a human?! And tricked into it, at that?

"She insisted."

Fu Xi pursed his lips and scratched his head with his little hand.

At the time, he had already considered Ye Suyi a friend. A friend had made a request, and though he had felt a little embarrassed, Fu Xi had still granted it.

"Achoo! Achoo!"

"Is someone thinking about me?"

Far away in the Sun Moon Empire, Ye Suyi rubbed her nose. Why did she suddenly feel like sneezing?

"If she insisted, then you just..."

"Fine! I understand."

"When this Sister Suyi of yours comes to play with you, remember to tell my lord."

The smile on Bi Ji's face faded, and for the first time, a gloomy expression appeared.

Once today's matter was settled, she planned to return and report to her lord immediately!

No matter what, nothing could happen to Fu Xi!

"Okay, okay. I will."

Fu Xi nodded.

Then, Bi Ji used one hand to pull Fu Xi's pants back up.

"Summon your martial soul, and try to acknowledge her."

Bi Ji suppressed the fury in her heart and spoke calmly.

She took Fu Xi's little hand and guided him to press it against Ling Luochan's forehead.

The instant Fu Xi summoned his martial soul behind him!

Ling Luochan's eyes rolled white at once!

Her consciousness was directly pulled into a starry expanse!

Before her stood a strange creature that resembled both dragon and phoenix!

Ling Luochan stared blankly at this majestic being. It seemed that no words could describe its greatness!

"My master is Fu Xi. He is a phoenix."

Ling Luochan murmured to herself, making her choice as though inspiration had suddenly struck.

Then, in her eyes, that strange dragon-phoenix creature transformed once more into a majestic crimson-gold phoenix!

Its name was [Xi].

Permanence's Xi!

It governed constancy and rejected decay and death.

The four seasons changed, and all things waxed and waned.

Permanence's Xi!

Life had an end, and the world knew vicissitudes.

Only His Divine Majesty did not fall into impermanence.

Permanence's Xi!

Time could not erode Him, nor could tribulation fire harm Him.

Though briefly returning to silence, His eternity shone ever on.

Permanence's Xi!

All directions looked up in reverence, respectfully offering mysterious light.

With devout hearts, they made sacrifice and sang praises to His divine realm...

Ling Luochan gazed at [Xi] in fascination. She knelt upon the ground and closed her eyes.

Following her instincts, she recited prayer after prayer.

It was as though she had returned to ancient times, when giant beasts ran rampant among the Milky Way, and only the phoenix [Xi] could protect their peace...

They? And what Milky Way?

As [Xi] fell dormant once more, Ling Luochan opened her eyes in confusion. She had returned to Lexuan Academy, and the scene before her seemed to have remained exactly as it had been when her consciousness departed.

Permanence's Xi? Was that referring to Fu Xi?

"It feels so strange. I feel like I can hear what Sister Ling Luochan is thinking."

Fu Xi said with a troubled little face. He was a polite good child, so he called her Sister the moment they met.

"Uh... M-My... Young Master, my martial soul has indeed become stronger."

Ling Luochan said awkwardly.

Calling him Master in her consciousness was one thing. In reality, it was better to be a little reserved.

Is Sister Luo Chen talking about me?

Ling Luochan's pretty face stiffened, and she turned her head with a mechanical creak.

She watched Fu Xi blink at her from in front of her.

So...

The voice that had appeared in her mind really was Fu Xi speaking?!

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm! I was thinking of whispering secrets to Sister Luo Chen!

"Stop!"

Ling Luochan's little face went pale, and she directly summoned her Ice Phoenix martial soul!

As the martial soul appeared, a faint ice-blue divine mark became visible on her forehead!

She decided that she absolutely could not think about anything right now!

Wuwuwu~ I'm done for. He heard me calling him Master in my heart~

Fu Xi curiously looked at the little Ice Phoenix in Ling Luochan's hand. This time, he did not happily tease Ling Luochan.

He was a good baby, after all. Naturally, he could not bully girls.

What? You were asking about Sister Qiu'er?

She was not a girl. She was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

"It feels so cute, so familiar, like it's my child."

Fu Xi extended a finger and poked the Ice Phoenix's body.

Ling Luochan's pretty face flushed as well, and her body trembled slightly.

Although a martial soul was part of a human body, beast martial soul owners had never become weak in the knees from a single touch, had they?

Was it because the Young Master was special?

Ling Luochan bit her lower lip, her eyes glistening.

"Sorry, sorry! I just really wanted to touch your Little Phoenix!"

Feeling Ling Luochan's discomfort, Fu Xi hurriedly withdrew his little hand.

"It's fine!"

Ling Luochan felt that her day had been far too fantastical.

"Young Master, my martial soul is now an Ice Phoenix and possesses the Ultimate Ice attribute."

"Also, my martial soul seems to possess a special ability. It appears capable of converting certain insights of mine into Soul Ring soul skills."

"Now, my first soul skill has become Immortal Soul Power. Its effect is that, after activating it, my Soul Power will not decrease for ten minutes. It can only be used once per month."

Sensing the information coming from her martial soul, Ling Luochan sucked in a sharp breath!
