Chapter 1452
She was sitting in disappointment when she saw something happen, which made her stand up in shock.
Xie Min was sitting at the entrance of the tomb with almost a crying face when she felt the trembling of the ground.
A blinding light flashed around her, making her close her eyes. It was as if the light had come from the sky.
She also felt extreme heat which started making her sweat. She was a Phoenix. They were known as the G.o.ddesses of fire. They could land on the sun and still not sweat, but it was happening now, which stunned her.
As the light disappeared, she opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw made her open her eyes. Her mouth opened in shock. She couldn"t control her legs from standing up.
There was someone standing before her. A beautiful creature that seemed like it came straight from the highest of heavens.
The beautiful bird looked like a Phoenix, but it wasn"t flaming red in color. Instead, it was like a rainbow. Its wings were so enormous that it could cover the entire temple with one wing itself.
It has two tails, one being flaming red while the other ice blue.
The Giant Phoenix was so big that Xie Min had to look up as if she was looking at a mountain.
"R-rainbow Phoenix?" she stuttered as she went down on her knees in respect.
She bowed before the Rainbow Phoenix.
"I am so happy I got to see the Great Ancestor of us Phoenix. Thank you for gracing me with your presence!" She didn"t raise her head as she talked. In fact, she couldn"t dare to. An Origin Beast was standing before her.
Someone that all the G.o.dly Beast Emperors wanted to find. She felt immense luck that she found her first. In fact, she even started dreaming about the welcome she was going to get when she took her back.
"Your Lords.h.i.+p, I am but a small Phoenix from the Phoenix Clan. I was sent here as a representative of the Phoenix Clan to invite you to spend some time in our clan. We came here as soon as we found out about your return."
"Please give us an opportunity to host you."
After finis.h.i.+ng speaking, Xie Min raised her head, but the Giant Rainbow Phoenix wasn"t there. Instead, a woman was standing there.
The woman had rainbow colored pupils and beautiful hair that kept changing color. One moment her hair was violet, the next moment, they were blue, green, and such. In each color, she looked beautiful.
If one was to guess her age just based on looks, she was probably not even twenty years old.
A beautiful red gown was tightly wrapped around her body, highlighting each curve on her body.
Xie Min understood that it was the human form of the Origin Beast.
"My queen, do you accept our invitation?" she asked the woman.
The woman completely ignored her. In fact, she didn"t even bother looking at Xie Min.
The Rainbow Phoenix stepped towards Xie Min, but her gaze seemed to be resting on the door instead.
She reached close to the door and placed her hand on it. The door opened without even the need of any keys.
She entered the Temple, ignoring Xie Min like she was a ghost.
Xie Min also didn"t give up. She thought that maybe the Rainbow Phoenix was here for some reason, and she didn"t want to be distracted.
Xie Min was prepared to wait until she was done. She stepped inside the Temple behind the Rainbow Phoenix as well.
...
In the depths of the Temple, Long Chen was still trying to convince Little Snow to come out; however, little snow seemed distracted suddenly as she looked up as if Sensing something.
It came down the chair, jumping into the lap of Long Chen as it started making noise.
"Good boy. Now let"s find an exit." Long Chen smiled, but he didn"t send Little Snow back as he wasn"t clear if the statues would attack him if he sent her back. First, he wanted to get out of this place.
He looked at the ma.s.sive thrones one last time before he turned his back on them and started leaving.
As he was leaving, ten statues moved again, blocking his path.
These times the statues that were moving were the other half that hadn"t moved before.
"Little one, your puppets are blocking us again. Can you tell them to stand down?" Long Chen asked Little Snow.
"They aren"t her puppets," A calm yet authoritative voice filled the place.
"Hmm?" Long Chen looked in the direction where the voice came from.
He noticed a woman coming down the stairs, followed by another red haired woman.
Even though he had seen the prettiest of ladies, he was immediately stunned at the sight of the woman in the lead.
He knew that there was no denying about her Beauty. She was the most beautiful woman he had seen. Just as he felt he was falling into a daze, he took his eyes off her eyes.
"May I know who you are?" he asked the two ladies. "The one in the back looks like a Phoenix, but the one in the lead, I"m not sure."
"How far have you fallen that you"re tamed by humans now?" The woman completely ignored the questions and focused on Little Snow instead.
Long Chen had an odd feeling. The way this woman was talking, it seemed she knew Little Snow.
The rainbow eyes, the hair changing colors that belonged to a rainbow.
"The Rainbow Phoenix, one of the Origin Beasts?" Long Chen asked, taking a guess. "It looks like you"re here just for Little Snow? I"m surprised you sensed her from the stars where you were. I suppose I underestimated you?"
"Since you"re here, I suppose you"re confident in your strength as well. So much for me thinking that you"re weak at the moment. I can feel your strength from here. You"re quite powerful," he added.
Finally, the woman s.h.i.+fted her attention to Long Chen.
"A human that could establish a contract with her? I am not stupid enough to believe you can do it, no matter how weak she might be. That just means she allowed you to establish the contract," she said.
"That begs the question. What"s so special about you? Why would she allow a human? Unless something is special about you?"
"I am intrigued. Let me see what"s special," she let out, taking a step back.
She snapped her fingers, sealing the entire chamber. "Face the puppets.. Survive, and I"ll take you seriously."
