Chapter 1113: Chapter 198: So You’re a Woman!

"I’m not afraid!" Chu Nian replied without hesitation.

Mu Qingge was not foolish, even if some things were unclear, Chu Nian hadn’t explained them fully, but it didn’t mean she was unaware. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Chu Nian and said, "Chu Nian, the Phoenix Clan is known as the Phoenix, and their lifespan is very long. If you forge a Life and Death Contract with me, I’m afraid you’ll be affected by my lifespan."

Chu Nian smiled brightly at Mu Qingge and said, "I have faith in you. Once you enter the Saint Realm, your lifespan won’t be short, so it won’t affect me."

Mu Qingge looked at her seriously and asked in a low voice, "Chu Nian, do you really understand what a Life and Death Contract means? It means you’ll tie your life to mine."

’Isn’t this what I want?’ Chu Nian thought to herself.

Mu Qingge’s words made Chu Nian say, "I don’t mind such a connection, do you hate me?" She took a deep breath and said to Mu Qingge, "Qingge, I know you are always striving to improve your strength. This opportunity is rare; we both get what we need."

After speaking, she thought to herself, ’Don’t worry, I won’t let you face any danger. If we truly can’t overcome the difficulties, I’ll push you into the Nirvana Fire at the last moment.’

"Chu Nian." Mu Qingge murmured, eyebrows lightly furrowed.

Chu Nian suddenly leaned closer to her and whispered, "Let’s decide as such. This matter cannot be known to the Phoenix Emperor. I’ll return first. Once I sense the awakening of the Nirvana Fire, I’ll look for you; don’t wander far these days, just wait for me outside the Phoenix Tree Forest."

After speaking, she turned and left Mu Qingge’s side, walking towards the Simurgh Guards.

Mu Qingge wanted to call her back, but the words were swallowed. Because she couldn’t deny the great allure of the Nirvana Fire.

After Chu Nian’s figure disappeared from Mu Qingge’s sight, Yin Chen’s voice rang beside Mu Qingge’s ear. "Phoenix Fire, True Dragon Blood. Now, Qingge, you have a chance to obtain the Phoenix Fire. If you later get the True Dragon Blood, the Demon Forest trip will be complete."

Mu Qingge smiled faintly, not saying much.

She took a deep breath, feeling a bit emotional. She seemed to have a lot of time, but so many things pressed on her, forcing her to speed up.

Si Mo once told her to take it slow and not hurry.

But with so many things happening now, how can she take it slowly? Moreover, there are many things stuck in her throat, preventing her from being at ease. Like Si Mo’s Life and Death Tribulation and matters related to the Mu Clan, the restoration of the Nine Heavens, the last two Fragmented Scriptures of the Divine Strategy Lower Volume, the matters of the Dan God, Sang Ancestor...

One after another, all pushing her forward steadily without stopping.

"Just..." Yin Chen hesitated for a moment, "this Nirvana requires too much time delay, one or two years would be fine, but if it requires ten years..."

Mu Qingge shook her head and said, "It’s okay. Cultivation has no years. I’ve walked my path quite fast compared to others; who hasn’t spent decades, centuries, or even millennia? Even if it’s ten years, decades, it’s only a blink on this Divine Demon Continent."

After speaking, she pressed her lips. Internally, she thought, ’If I spend years in Nirvana, isn’t it closer to the day when A Mo comes out?’

Yin Chen nodded, agreeing with Mu Qingge’s words.

Suddenly, Mu Qingge looked at him and said, "If I delay here for a few years, you don’t have to stay. Now, within my space, there are people from the Alien Race from the Middle Ancient Realm. I’ll release them all, and you’ll place them in each Wind Night Crossing, and relay messages to Si Mo, Mo Yang, Mu Feng, Mu Chen, and others. Let them ensure that before I leave the Demon Forest, Wind Night Crossing is well managed, spreading reach to all corners of the Four Seas Divine Land. Also, inform Song Tianji and the others that without my orders, they should note discoveries internally and not expose their identities lightly. Take Su Ming too and place her by You He. Also..."

Chu Nian’s words caused Mu Qingge in the shortest time to issue a series of orders to Yin Chen, arranging everything properly.

"What about the Demon Realm..." Yin Chen explored with a question.

Mu Qingge pressed her lips, furrowing her brow slightly, saying, "Go find a person named Bai Shi, he’s a Palace Disciple from Wei Yi Domain and is a spy planted by the Demon Clan. Inform him of my situation and let him report back to the Demon Realm so that Gu Ya and Gu Ye are informed. Tell him that if there’s any movement from Si Mo’s side, find a way to notify me immediately."

"Okay." Yin Chen nodded.

Mu Qingge raised her gaze to him, "During this time, complete the tasks I’ve assigned, and you can return to the Demon Forest. Hou said that the Demon Forest offers great benefits to your Beast Clan, don’t waste the opportunity. In one or two years time, go for a round tour of Wind Night Crossing in the Four Seas Divine Land for me. Handle issues based on circumstances. If it’s troublesome, wait for me to handle it. Also, the High Priest and Xu Xiu are the brains of the Mu Clan, they’re still useful."

Yin Chen carefully remembered Mu Qingge’s words. "Hmm."

...

Three days later, Yin Chen left the Phoenix Tree Forest.

When he left, he took thousands with him.

Mu Qingge continued to wait outside the Phoenix Tree Forest, and this wait lasted a month.

One night, as Mu Qingge sat on the tree cultivating, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar. She opened her eyes and saw a fiery ball rapidly approaching from the Phoenix Tree Forest, followed by a group of people behind.

Mu Qingge’s eyes suddenly widened, and her figure instantly disappeared from the tree, reappearing in front of the ’fire’ rushing out from the Phoenix Tree Forest.

"Qingge!" Chu Nian, surrounded by flames, relaxed upon seeing Mu Qingge.

Behind her, the Simurgh Guards were constantly closing in.

Chu Nian had no time to say more, suddenly raised her head, letting out a clear cry, her body transforming into a Fire Phoenix, spreading wings and rushing towards Mu Qingge.

The Nirvana Fire surrounding her quickly enveloped Mu Qingge within it.

As this scene formed, the Phoenix Emperor landed before the Simurgh Guards.

Seeing the Phoenix and the person wrapped in Nirvana Fire, his eyes displayed a complex and unreadable expression.

After a long moment, he sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and used his formidable Divine Power to wrap the Nirvana Fire and disappear outside the Phoenix Tree Forest.

...

Within the Nirvana Fire, Mu Qingge sat cross-legged, while an extremely beautiful Fire Phoenix circled around her, flying in spirals. Together they endured the burning of the Nirvana Fire, seeking life in death, where life bore death, a pain beyond words.

The Nirvana Fire, the Fire of Rebirth, could incinerate all that is evil and impudent, leaving behind the true self.

’So, you are a woman...’ The Fire Phoenix, under the influence of the Nirvana Fire, connected with Mu Qingge’s mind, knowing her true gender.
