"Xue Xue, don't panic!" Just then, Xiao Hua's voice transmission arrived. "Your husband is cultivating a secret art. Just wait a while!"
Immediately afterward, with a clear cry of "Caw," Xiao Hua's Phoenix Dharma Body broke free from the black aura, spread its wings, and flew into the air.

Boom! Xiao Hua's body
