Chapter 516: Feng Tianlan Let Xiao Qing Acknowledge Her
Tu Xiupei looked at the phoenix circling in the sky and shook her head in disbelief. “This is impossible! How are you able to summon the phoenix? I am the Lady Phoenix! I am the one!”
How could the phoenix be summoned this way? This had to be a lie! It could not be real.
At the sight of such an ancient celestial beast, the onlookers were no longer bothered by the heat, and could only gape, wide-eyed in shock.
“This is a real phoenix. Not one created through the transmogrification of the elements.”“When Eldest Senior Brother talked about the phoenix previously, this was what I imagined. I didn’t think that I would really see this one day.”
“But didn’t Eldest Senior Brother say that it was Third Senior Sister who could summon the phoenix and who had slain beasts to become the Lady Phoenix of the South Winds Nation?”
“Well…”
“Only you would believe it was someone like Tu Xiupei. If she was really as kind and generous as you say, why have so many Sisters end up living in Yanyue Building? It is true that those sisters were bullied by other the Senior Sisters, but haven’t you noticed that the ones the Senior Sisters bullied were close friends of Tu Xiupei?”
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, that seems to be true. Although she knew that Zhao Haojiang liked her, she had never openly rejected him. Tu Xiupei even told him what Feng Tianlan had done to her to curry favor.”
“Also, Eldest Senior Brother has been used by her. Now that she’s close to Supreme Xi, she’s saying he will marry her. I have never heard Supreme Xi ever saying that.”
“She had long been stripped of the Feng surname, but now that she’s back, she addresses herself as Feng Xiupei. How can she be so thick-skinned? Even the grandmaster cannot defend her.”“…”
As people continued to question her reputation and discussion about her intensified, Tu Xiupei, who was already so upset that she was losing her mind, became even more agitated. She felt like she was going mad. “Shut up, all of you! I am Lady Phoenix. I have the Phoenix Destiny. I am Lady Phoenix!”
“Phoenix Destiny?” Feng Tianlan drawled with sarcasm and raised her eyebrows lazily. “Although we were born one day apart, it was actually just a few hours difference. Back then, the demigod asked if there was a newborn daughter in the residence, and Tu Xiang answered yes. However, when the demigod asked again if there were two newborns, Tu Xiang said there was only one and that was you, Tu Xiupei.”
Ti Xiupei starting yelling, “No, Father did not say that! When the demigod first appeared, he said that I had the Phoenix Destiny.”
“Two daughters in one residence, born several hours apart. It is clear now who is the one with the Phoenix Destiny.”
Tu Xiupei’s face turned red and her eyes bulged out of their sockets in her rage. Her blood-red, swollen face made her look like a demon. “No! I am Lady Phoenix, I am the one with the Phoenix Destiny. Brother Jin is Xuantian’s Crown Prince. He is going to marry me and I will become the Xuantian Crown Princess, the future empress!”
“Without the identity of Dai’er, he will never marry you. He might, in fact, even kill you.” Feng Tianlan stared at her coldly. Without waiting for her reply, she called out gently, “Xiao Qing, come over.”
“Rawr!”
Hearing Feng Tianlan’s call, Xiao Qing called out in joy and avoided the Fire Phoenix to fly towards her. It lowered its head in the air and rubbed its horns against her shoulders lovingly and continued to call out in joy. Finally, its master was willing to acknowledge it.
“Xiao Qing, what are you doing? I am your master, come to me quickly!” Tu Xiupei shouted at Xiao Qing angrily. Xiao Qing was supposed to be hers and should only listen to her.
Xiao Qing was upset that her cuddling with Feng Tianlan was being interrupted and bellowed in rage at Tu Xiupei. It pointed its horns threateningly at her.
Seeing this, Tu Xiupei boasted to Feng Tianlan, “See? Xiao Qing listens to me because I am its actual master—Ah!”
