First, Spend Our Wedding Night with This Emperor Phoenix

After a night of wind and rain, thunder and lightning,

the sky gradually brightened.

The two people in their sleep slowly opened their drowsy eyes.

Huo Wu had come to know Yan Buhui on a deeper level.

Her opinion of Yan Buhui had changed considerably too. This young man really was fierce and formidable.

He left her unable to stop, his movements like rivers and seas, his dominance like a thunderclap.

"You... you really are amazing!"

Clutching her torn dress, Huo Wu spoke to Yan Buhui with a bashful pout.

"Hehe! Amazing, right? I didn't know I was this amazing either. After all, I'm a military general, not much of a talker, but when it comes to martial arts, I'm top-notch!"

"You're a military general? Not a civil official?" Huo Wu asked curiously.

Hearing this, Yan Buhui naturally replied, "Of course. I'm a military general. There's nothing I don't understand and nothing I can't do. That's what a true powerhouse is like!"

"You... have you no shame?"

Tears welled in Huo Wu's beautiful eyes as she spoke in a soft, gentle voice.

"I'm an Evil Fire Phoenix. What have I got to be ashamed of? What does a beast need with all those human manners?"

"But you're human now, a living, breathing human."

"Hehe, my lady is right. I'll listen to you."

Yan Buhui smiled awkwardly. Huo Wu was right. Now that he had taken human form, he needed to learn some basic human manners.

If word got out that he was just a rude wild chicken, that wouldn't do at all!!

Inside Phoenix Emperor Mountain, Yan Buhui changed into a fiery red coat and said to Huo Wu, who lay weakly sprawled on the bed, "Are you hungry? I'll go get you some fruit."

"Huh?"

"Do you have chicken legs, grilled fish, or some other meat? I really am a little hungry. I want meat."

Huo Wu nodded and answered in the affirmative.

"All right, I'll go catch you some river fish. Chicken... hmm, that's no problem either. I'll kill a few chickens for you too."

After hearing her, Yan Buhui took Huo Wu's suggestion.

After all, he did listen to his wife.

But.

Because of the madness of the Evil Fire last night, scorched scraps of her dress were scattered all over the floor.

Huo Wu's eyes were weary as she looked hesitantly at the fire spirit crystals in Phoenix Emperor Mountain, wondering whether they could replenish the fire-attribute Soul Power she had lost.

Seeing the utterly exhausted Huo Wu reminded Yan Buhui of last night's fiery, unstoppable onslaught!

That scorching, pleasurable feeling had gotten Yan Buhui a little hooked!

"I'll go catch the fish now."

Yan Buhui spoke to Huo Wu with delight.

"Okay..."

"You should be careful too..."

Huo Wu didn't know why she had said those words. He was a villain, a little lecher.

Why was she worrying about a lecher's safety?

Was it because of what had happened last night?

Huo Wu didn't know. All she knew was that she hadn't rested or closed her eyes all night.

The battle had been so fierce, it was simply beyond anything she had ever seen or heard of!

He was an animal!

Well, perhaps he had been an animal to begin with and had merely taken the form of a handsome man.

She might once have thought that only feminine beauty could be seductive, but masculine beauty was just as seductive.

This had thoroughly convinced Huo Wu of that truth.

And because Yan Buhui had been so fierce and intense last night,

he gave Huo Wu a Phoenix Rainbow Robe, a garment made from the feathers of an Evil Fire Phoenix. It could repel water and fire and protect its wearer from illness and calamity. The women of the phoenix clan were also honored, and thus it was known as the "Fire Phoenix Feather."

Looking at the ravenously hungry Huo Wu,

Yan Buhui prepared to go catch some food to fill her stomach.

Fish, chicken, duck.

"I'd better nourish Huo Wu properly. That way, she can give birth to a big, healthy boy."

Yan Buhui was quite invested in this matter.

If he didn't treat his own wife well, who else would he treat well?

Besides, Huo Wu was the campus belle of the Four Elements Academy, second only to Shui Bing'er.

It was just a pity. If only those girls from Skywater Academy would come, he could catch them all in one net. Then he could have as many children as he wanted.

Lost in thought, Yan Buhui had already arrived at a stream in a mountain ravine.

Yan Buhui reached in with one hand and caught a big, plump, pale culter.

After a little more work, he caught all kinds of fish in the stream: grass carp, catfish, gobies, common carp, and more.

His luck was good. Today he also went out of his way to get several large-clawed crabs and a few fine Australian lobsters. These were all culinary resources of Phoenix Emperor Mountain.

"Huo Wu's in for a treat today."

Yan Buhui gazed at the catch in a daze. He had also picked quite a lot of wild fruit.

He just didn't know whether Huo Wu would be used to eating it.

Before long,

Yan Buhui returned.

"Here."

Looking at the thoroughly bashful Huo Wu,

Yan Buhui handed her the berries in his hand.

"You... aren't you eating?!"

Seeing this, Huo Wu asked softly.

"I eat them occasionally. To tell you the truth, sometimes I drink magma."

Yan Buhui answered with a cheerful tease.

"You drink magma like water? You're that amazing?"

Huo Wu looked incredulous. This man even drank magma like water? Was he really that fierce? No wonder he was an Evil Fire Phoenix.

"Hm? What is it?"

Yan Buhui grinned and asked, "Wasn't I amazing last night?"

"A-amazing..."

Hearing this,

Huo Wu blushed bashfully, her cheeks delicate and rosy, bearing all the marks of a young maiden. That enchanting flush was as intoxicating as a soul-stealing drunken haze, dreamlike and illusory. No hot-blooded young man could resist such a tempting beauty.

It made one unable to resist wanting a taste of those tender, pink little cherry lips.

How could the word "alluring" possibly do her justice!

"Haha! From now on, I'll have to be even more amazing!"

Yan Buhui laughed. "But I'll have to put you through some hardship."

"..." Huo Wu gave her tacit consent and quietly ate the berries. Trying to change the subject, she said, "Buhui, are you planning to stay here on Phoenix Emperor Mountain from now on?"

"Of course not."

Yan Buhui answered decisively.

Who was Yan Buhui? He was certainly not someone content to live in a quiet corner.

He was a mighty lord with ambitions for all under heaven, for the Great Thousand World.

How could he possibly settle down in this land of extreme heat?

That would be looking down on Yan Buhui's ambitions a little too much.

However, having rich feelings had always been Yan Buhui's shortcoming.

Even he didn't want to die on a woman's pale belly.

Having resolved to become a mighty lord of all under heaven, all he wanted now was to have a child first.

This was such an important matter.

It simply couldn't be delayed.

Then Yan Buhui said:

"But from now on, we'll have to work at it day and night. I... um, I want a child."

"You... work at it day and night, uh, won't that be tiring?"

Huo Wu was speechless. How was it that every Soul Beast was so full of vigor? Was this the fire of desire born from a hundred thousand years of loneliness and emptiness?

She really was suffering.

After Huo Wu had eaten, it was Yan Buhui's turn to "eat."

After all, this still didn't count as their true wedding night.
