Chapter 1108: Chapter 193: The Phoenix Emperor’s Overprotective Love for His Daughter (5 Updates)

"Child, you finally came back! Father has finally waited for your return!"

Not only Chu Nian was shocked by the voice, but also those Simurgh Guards. However, Mu Qingge and Yin Chen merely glanced at each other quietly.

Nonetheless, there was a layer of surprise in their eyes.

Just like that, she found her father?

One cannot help but marvel at the Beast Clan’s powerful sense of kinship!

"Father? What father? My father is the God Emperor of the Wuhua Domain!" Chu Nian murmured, quickly stepping back to stand beside Mu Qingge, her eyes somewhat panicked as she looked at him.

At this moment, Yin Chen transmitted a message to Mu Qingge, ’See, how reliant is she on you? She wasn’t like this when she was in the Wuhua Domain.’

Mu Qingge twitched the corner of his mouth and replied, ’Anyone would panic in such circumstances.’

Yin Chen was silent because he had to admit the truth in Mu Qingge’s words.

Chu Nian had always thought she was Human, was Divine, and had been the daughter of the Wuhua God Emperor for over five thousand years. How could she suddenly accept the fact that she was of the Beast Clan?

"Who is it that speaks such nonsense!" Chu Nian shouted loudly, her voice filled with both anger and urgency.

She didn’t know the identity of the speaker, but the Simurgh Guards did. However, the words that had descended from the sky just now made them dare not act rashly towards Chu Nian.

At this moment, a clear cry of a phoenix arose.

The Simurgh Guards all knelt on one knee, their long spears resting on the ground, bowing their heads respectfully, "Welcome, Your Majesty the Phoenix Emperor!"

"Welcome, Your Majesty the Phoenix Emperor—!"

"Phoenix Emperor?" Chu Nian murmured softly, her eyes widening, filled with shock.

It was actually the Phoenix Emperor!

The Emperor of the Phoenix Clan!

Mu Qingge looked at Chu Nian’s profile and thought silently, ’It seems that whether Divine Clan or Beast Clan, Chu Nian is destined to be a princess.’

As the Simurgh Guards’ greetings faded, a rainbow light descended from the sky, forming a human shape between the Simurgh Guards and the three of them, Chu Nian, Mu Qingge, and Yin Chen.

This person had a tall and slender stature, with excellent body proportions.

As the radiance gradually dispersed, his appearance slowly emerged.

His face was extremely angular; it couldn’t be described as handsome but rather as resolute and striking. The tip of his nose had a slight curve, reminiscent of a bird’s beak, and his lips were thin, yet they looked quite attractive.

He wore a rainbow-colored royal robe, seemingly woven from feathers or perhaps manifested from his own feathers, emitting a faint glow, exceptionally beautiful.

A crown perched atop his head, signifying his extraordinary identity.

The Phoenix Emperor, upon appearing, ignored everyone else and fixed his gaze intently on Chu Nian, with a flood of longing, affection, and complex emotions in his eyes.

"Child!" The Phoenix Emperor spoke, reaching out his hand to stroke Chu Nian’s hair.

However, despite stretching his arm straight, he couldn’t reach Chu Nian due to the distance between them.

Chu Nian’s delicate face was taut, with tightly pressed lips staring at the Phoenix Emperor.

When he spoke again, she immediately recognized this voice as the one that had been incessantly enticing her in her heart, leading her to the Demon Forest.

Suddenly, a sense of betrayal rose from the depths of her heart.

"You, being the dignified Phoenix Emperor, why did you entice me, bringing me from the Wuhua Domain to this place?" Chu Nian questioned.

"Wuhua Domain! You were actually in the Wuhua Domain!" the Phoenix Emperor exclaimed. "I searched for you in the Demon Forest for years and continually dispatched subordinates to inquire about your whereabouts in the regions of the Divine and Demon Clans, yet I didn’t expect you to be in the Wuhua Domain. The thief who stole your mother and you back then truly went to great lengths, deceiving everyone, sealing your aura so thoroughly that I couldn’t sense it. If not for your recent nearing Nirvana Period, I wouldn’t have been able to perceive you."

The Phoenix Emperor’s words left Chu Nian bewildered, reluctant to delve deeply into his claims.

However, after Mu Qingge heard these words, he pieced together a part of the narrative in his mind. ’It seems that back then, the Wuhua God Emperor might have unknowingly passed by the Phoenix Territory and took her away when Chu Nian’s mother awakened from Nirvana. At that time, perhaps Chu Nian’s mother was already carrying her. The Phoenix Clan, being oviparous, takes hundreds or even thousands of years to hatch their offspring, making it extremely challenging to continue their lineage. The Wuhua God Emperor used some method to hide the bloodline aura of Chu Nian and the woman in the Little Leaf Pavilion, allowing Chu Nian to live like a Human and preventing the Phoenix Emperor from finding her. Now, Chu Nian’s innate Power of Nirvana is awakening, breaking through those concealment methods, enabling the Phoenix Emperor to sense her and summon her here.’

It seems everything has come to light.

However, this answer is too sudden and hard to accept for Chu Nian.

"What nonsense are you speaking? I am Human, the daughter of the Wuhua Domain’s God Emperor, the Princess of Wuhua Domain!" Chu Nian loudly denied.

The Phoenix Emperor’s face showed a trace of pain, and he said to Chu Nian, "Child, you are the Princess of the Phoenix Clan, a little Phoenix, not the daughter of the Wuhua God Emperor. He is just a despicable thief! I am your father, and tell me, where is your mother? Why haven’t I been able to feel her presence for thousands of years?"

"No! That’s impossible!" Chu Nian shook her head, continuously denying, unwilling to believe.

She didn’t want to believe that the father who loved her dearly was merely an impostor. She didn’t want to believe her identity was just a lie.

"Child, I won’t deceive you. Even if you don’t believe me now, your body’s Power of Nirvana will soon awaken, and then you’ll remember everything, knowing whether you’re Human or Phoenix," the Phoenix Emperor said painfully.

"No...no...it won’t be...all of this is fake...it’s a conspiracy...a conspiracy against my Wuhua Domain..." Chu Nian murmured while shaking her head, retreating backwards.

Her helplessness, her unwillingness to believe, pierced the Phoenix Emperor’s eyes, breaking his heart.

Chu Nian stumbled, and Mu Qingge quickly reached out to steady her shoulders.

Feeling the warmth from Mu Qingge’s palms, Chu Nian seemed to find support and fell into his arms. "Qingge, take me away."

She pleaded.

However, this intimate scene nearly made fire shoot from the Phoenix Emperor’s eyes. He could humble himself for Chu Nian but wouldn’t lower himself for anyone else.

He glared at Mu Qingge, a fierce look erupting from somewhere. "Who are you? Let go of my daughter! The Princess of the Phoenix Clan isn’t someone you can defile!"

Then he commanded, "Someone! Capture these trespassing Humans in my Phoenix Territory!"

With his command, the Simurgh Guards, who had been stunned by the bombshell news, immediately snapped to attention. Raising their long spears, they surrounded Mu Qingge and Yin Chen...
