1224 Madam Feng

After snapping out of her daze, Primordial Phoenix returned to focusing on Tian Yi, and she spoke, "I understand what you are trying to do, but I don't see how it has anything to do with me. What do you want from me?"

"I'd like you to witness my journey with the Dragon Goddess and others who might join us in the future." TIan Yi said.

"In other words, you want me to become your follower… With this annoying snake by my side the entire time? I refuse! Over my dead body!" Primordial Phoenix immediately refused his offer, which didn't surprise him in the slightest.

But he didn't give up and continued to convince her, "I am not asking you to become my follower. You are free to watch me from a distance or by my side, just like the Dragon Goddess here. Don't you want to be part of something much bigger than yourself? It could be the start of a new era— one that you had a hand in creating. It'll also benefit your business greatly."

"Hmph. I have much better things to do than babysit a human with an impossible ambition. Unlike the Dragon Goddess, I have a life that's worth something." Primordial Phoenix sneered.

A vein appeared on Dragon Goddess Yeyou's forehead after hearing the Primordial Phoenix's insult, but she barely managed to control her emotions.

Tian Yi became silent for a moment.

'Perhaps I am approaching her the wrong way… She has a business of her own, and merchants rarely do things that do not benefit them…'

"If you have nothing else to say, I'm out of here." Primordial Phoenix said as she began turning around.

"Primordial Phoenix! I have an offer for you!" Tian Yi suddenly said.

"..."

The Primordial Phoenix halted her movements, but she did not turn back around, only twisting her head slightly.

Tian Yi proceeded to retrieve an object for his storage ring and held it in front of him.

'What's this profound aura…?' The Primordial Phoenix couldn't help but turn around after sensing a weird aura coming from Tian Yi's palms.

Her eyes narrowed on the glowing red stone resting on Tian Yi's palms. The rock was shaped like an egg and was only as big as an adult's fist. Despite its unremarkable size, it contained an immense amount of Yang Qi within. There was so much Yang Qi condensed within the rock that it looked like there was a sun resting inside the rock, and it was emitting a scorching heat wave that could easily incinerate even an Immortal if they got too close without serious preparation.

The Primordial Phoenix's eyes widened with shock and disbelief when she finally realized what she was looking at.

"I-Is that what I think it is…?" She stuttered after swallowing nervously.

Although she didn't know the glowing egg-like object Tian Yi was holding, the Dragon Goddess's interest was instantly piqued when she saw the Primordial Phoenix's reaction.

There were very few treasures in this world that would interest the Primordial Phoenix, much less cause her to salivate.

Tian Yi smiled and said, "I don't know what you think this is, but this is a Smoldered Phoenix Egg that has bathed in intense Yang Qi for over a billion years— ever since the beginning of the Primordial Era. As a Phoenix, I'm sure you know the value of these things. A million-year-old Smoldered Phoenix Egg would send an entire nation into a frenzy, and a ten-million-year-old Smoldered Phoenix Egg started a war within the Divine Heavens not long ago."

"Over a billion years…?" The Primordial Phoenix had a frightened expression on her face.

"Phoenix Egg? Does that mean there's a Phoenix growing inside?" Dragon Goddess Yeyou asked out of curiosity.

Tian Yi shook his head, "Although that is what the name suggests, there is no Phoenix growing inside. In fact, it has nothing to do with Phoenixes. A Smoldered Phoenix Egg is an extremely rare and potent resource for Cultivators with a cultivation method that requires Yang Qi, and Phoenixes are inherently made of Yang Qi, so this would benefit them even more."ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novelenglish.net .

"So it's just a cultivation resource. Hmph. I was expecting something more exciting since she reacted so intensely. How boring." Dragon Goddess Yeyou shrugged, quickly losing interest.

"Just a cultivation resource?! How dare you utter such nonsense, you uncultured snake! A Smoldered Phoenix Egg to Phoenixes is as important as your Blood Essence is to a Dragon with a common bloodline! At my cultivation, only something like a Smoldered Phoenix Egg could benefit me! And it's not just a small amount! Hell, I might even be able to improve my bloodline with it!"

Dragon Goddess Yeyou frowned upon hearing her last words.

"Your bloodline is already the purest it can be. How could it possibly get any purer?"

"That's just how potent a Smoldered Phoenix Egg is, and this is the first time I have seen one that has aged over a billion years! I consumed one that was 250 million years ago about 100 million years ago, and it increased my strength by leaps and bounds… I can only imagine what will happen if I consume one that is 4 times older…" The Primordial Phoenix was essentially drooling at this point.

"Primordial Phoenix, here is my offer. I want you to follow me for a hundred thousand years. If I am unable to achieve my ambitions within that amount of time, I will give you this Smoldered Phoenix Egg as compensation. What do you say?" Tian Yi said as he held the egg out in a tempting manner.

"Follow you for a hundred thousand years…? Is that all I have to do?" The Primordial Phoenix was in disbelief, not because it was an immensely difficult task but because it was immensely easy!

In the gaze of her eternal eyes, the span of a hundred thousand years would pass as but a fleeting breath, scarcely distinguishable from a mere moment in the fleeting perception of mortal beings. Hell, Dragon Goddess Yeyou's naps lasted longer than that.

"Indeed, you only need to follow me. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to, and you are free to leave whenever you wish."

"You have a deal." The Primordial Phoenix immediately responded without a hint of hesitation in her tone.

"Seriously…?" Dragon Goddess Yeyou was left speechless by her quick change in attitude.

The following moment, the Primordial Phoenix's fiery body began shrinking until it was shaped like a human. With flaming red hair and a pair of golden eyes, the Primordial Phoenix transformed into a peerless beauty that rivaled Dragon Goddess Yeyou but with a unique aura and charm of her own.

"My human name is Feng Yuming, but you may call me Madam Feng."
