Chapter 14934 Live Well
The little phoenix's lips moved, but she was speechless for a moment, clearly having been hit the nail on the head.
Chishui Phoenix slowly walked up to her, her words carrying a deeper meaning: "Do you still remember Ling Xiao? That human boy from the Holy Rune Academy."
Little Phoenix nodded: "Of course I remember! He's that human warrior who made a name for himself at the Holy Rune Academy! I heard he single-handedly fought against a powerful Demon Soul Clan expert and broke through to the next level..."
“He is stronger than you,” Chishui Phoenix coldly interrupted her.
The little phoenix was full of resentment, but had no way to refute it.
Chishui Phoenix glanced at the little phoenix and said calmly, "Don't be unconvinced. Do you know that his innate talent may not be superior to your phoenix bloodline, and his physical foundation is far inferior to yours? But there is one thing about him that you are far inferior to."
"What is it?"
The little phoenix was somewhat confused.
“Courage and spirit,” Chishui Phoenix replied.
"He dared to venture alone into perilous places where death was a near certainty, dared to face enemies a hundred times stronger than himself, dared to risk his life in desperate situations to fight for a glimmer of hope, and dared to fight against the heavens with his meager cultivation."
"And you? From childhood to adulthood, you've lived a life of luxury, with nothing to worry about. When have you ever truly fought with all your might, risking your life to compete?"
Little Phoenix opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but when the words reached her lips, she realized that every word her mother said was an undeniable fact, leaving her with no way to argue.
From birth, she lived under the halo and protection of the Crimson Phoenix. Daughter of the Crimson Phoenix... this incomparably noble status made her the center of attention wherever she went, receiving the utmost respect, and no one dared to easily provoke her.
But this honor also acted like an invisible shackle, causing her to lose too much.
She never needed to risk her life, because no one dared to really hurt her in the slightest because of her mother's power. No matter what trouble she encountered, her mother would take care of everything for her in advance and protect her.
In all her life, she had never truly faced the threat of death, nor had she ever experienced the taste of survival in dire straits.
“I’m not blaming you.” Chishui Phoenix sighed. “I’m just telling you an undeniable fact… If you continue to indulge in comfort and be timid, you will never catch up with Ling Xiao in this lifetime, and you will never become a strong person who can stand on your own.”
“We, the Phoenix Clan, are born from the flames, are born from the fire, and will also die from the fire, reborn from the ashes. Deep within our blood flows the power of raging flames that can scorch the heavens and boil the seas, but this power can never be fully unleashed through comfortable cultivation or working in seclusion.”
"You need to venture out, fight, go through life and death hardships, and traverse dangerous and desperate places... You need to leave me."
"Mother..." Little Phoenix was both afraid and reluctant, after all, she had never truly left her mother in all these years.
Chishui Phoenix slowly turned around and gently took out a reddish-gold phoenix feather from her bosom.
The feather was no more than the length of a palm, its silk threads crystal clear, and its entire body shimmered with dazzling golden light.
The feathers are covered with intricate divine patterns, each line engraved with the most primal rebirth power of the Phoenix Clan, exuding a gentle yet powerful aura, with an understated yet imposing presence.
This is a phoenix feather.
It is formed from the life essence of the Red Water Phoenix, and is the crystallization of her life's cultivation, making it extremely precious.
"Take it."
Chishui Phoenix raised its hand and handed the life-giving phoenix feather to the little phoenix, its tone leaving no room for doubt.
The little phoenix was completely stunned, shaking her head repeatedly: "Mother, this is your life-bound treasure, I can't accept it..."
“Take it, it’s yours now.” Chishui Phoenix’s eyes were firm.
"This phoenix feather contains a clone of me, and contains the power of a single strike from my prime. When you are in a hopeless situation and powerless to resist, it can automatically protect its master and save your life."
"But remember, you only have one chance. Once you use it, the divine power of the feather will be exhausted, and it will turn into ashes and disappear completely."
"After you've used up this one and only chance to survive, you'll have to rely on yourself from now on. No one will be there to protect you anymore."
With trembling hands, the little phoenix slowly accepted the phoenix feather, tears streaming down her cheeks as she could no longer hold back her own.
She gripped the feather tightly, feeling the warm and powerful force emanating from it, her heart churning with unprecedented complex emotions.
There is fear, but also anticipation.
What I fear is the unknown road ahead and the unfamiliar dangers.
What we look forward to is breaking free from our cocoons, growing stronger, and transforming ourselves.
Her mother was right. She had been running away and relying on others, never truly facing her own heart or pushing herself.
"Mother……"
The little phoenix raised its tearful eyes, looking at the Red Water Phoenix, its voice choked with emotion yet incredibly firm.
"I will prove to you that I will not lose, and that I can become someone you can be proud of."
Chishui Phoenix affectionately patted the little phoenix's head and smiled, "Of course your mother believes in you. You must understand that your mother cannot protect you for a lifetime. You will eventually have to grow up on your own. Perhaps in future adventures, you will meet like-minded partners."
"Even a man worth loving for a lifetime!"
Little Phoenix blushed: "I don't want a man. I love my mother alone, that's enough. None of those stinky men are any good."
Although she said that, Ling Xiao's image involuntarily appeared in her mind, and her face turned even redder.
"Stop talking nonsense." Chishui Phoenix smiled bitterly. "No matter who you are, don't be too strong in this world. It's easier to find someone to rely on. If you go out on your own, even if you succeed, you'll find that you have nothing left but scars when you look back."
Little Phoenix didn't quite understand her mother's meaning, but in her heart she thought that as long as she met a man who was willing to risk his life for her, she wouldn't mind getting married.
"Let's go, I wish you a bright future!" Chishui Phoenix released her daughter's hand and smiled.
Goodbye, Mother!
The little phoenix kissed the red phoenix on the face, then soared into the sky and disappeared.
Long after the little phoenix disappeared, Chishui Phoenix looked at a corner and said, "Send someone to protect her secretly. That little girl has never gone out before, so we mustn't let her die out there. But remember, unless her life is in danger or she is being humiliated, you don't need to take action."
A mother's heart is always filled with worry when her son travels far away.
Although Chishui Fenghuang said she wanted to train her daughter, she couldn't really let her daughter go out and make her own way in the world on her own.
This world is too dangerous, full of crises. With Little Phoenix's personality, it's impossible to change her in a short time. If she encounters someone who doesn't care about Chishui City at all, she'll need someone to protect her secretly.
"Yes! Lord!"
A voice rang out from the corner, but no one was in sight.
But Chishui Phoenix was quite at ease. If the people she sent out couldn't protect Little Phoenix, then she would have to go and protect her herself.
