Safe and sound.
It seemed like a simple sentence, but it contained far too much of the elemental fairy's love for her daughter.
Ye Zichen stood silently to the side and watched this somewhat painful scene.
Bai Feng smiled and nodded, then reached out to touch the lava egg.
"From now on, I'll call you Lil 'An."
The elemental fairy smiled, her eyes brimming with motherly love.
She reached out, and Bai Feng squatted down to let her touch it. Then she looked away, no longer looking at the lava egg. Instead, she faced Ye Zichen and Xiao Huo.
"You can absorb me now."
It was as if she'd already seen through her fate. She sat calmly on the ground, showing no intention of resisting.
Actually …
She'd grown tired of it long ago.
The only reason she'd persevered until now was because of the unborn little phoenix.
She couldn't stop worrying, which was why she'd persisted.
Now that the little phoenix had found a home, she could leave this dull world in peace.
From the very beginning.
Ye Zichen and Xiao Huo had indeed come to absorb the elemental fairy.
If they could absorb it, then Xiao Huo's strength would definitely multiply, and Ye Zichen's elemental nourishment would also increase his strength.
But the problem was …
Ye Zichen was born in a place that valued relationships. He couldn't bear to face this sort of motherly love.
This was a thought that had already taken root in his heart.
No matter how long he lived, he couldn't forget his roots and become a cold and detached person.
"Don't think too much. Even if you don't absorb her, she'll dissipate soon enough," said Bai Feng.
"How?" exclaimed Xiao Huo.
Elemental fairies were born of nature. Even if the universe was destroyed, they wouldn't die.
As long as she …
"How do you think this little fellow survived? She's been using her own origin power to nourish herself this entire time." Bai Feng looked down at the little fellow in her arms. "As an elemental fairy, you should know what the origin of the elements represents. What's more, the elemental commander outside has been absorbing her origin power. She's already running out of it. "
When he heard this, Xiao Huo was stunned. He looked at the elemental fairy in disbelief.
The origin power of an elemental fairy was something she possessed when she was born.
It was also because of the existence of the Origin Energy that the Elemental Spirits could stand above all the other elements and command the elements below them with a supreme posture.
Once the Origin Energy was used up, it could not be recovered.
No matter what method was used, it could not be replenished.
When the Origin Energy was exhausted, the Elemental Spirits would return to the long river of elements, just like the other elements, and disappear.
Little Fire found it hard to understand.
Why did she have to use her origin energy to feed it?
"Elemental spirit, I can feel your emotions." The woman sitting on the ground looked at Xiao Huo. "Don't mourn for me. This is what I want."
"Why did you —"
"You and I were born by the heavens and earth. We shouldn't have emotions." The woman looked at Xiao An with a smile. "But the birth of life is always accompanied by the reproduction of emotions, even for you and me. I believe you can understand this, can't you?"
Lil 'Fire subconsciously glanced at Ye Zichen, then silently shook his head.
The elemental spirit saw everything and smiled.
"I understand."
No one knew what she understood. This might be a conversation that only she and Xiao Huo, two elemental spirits, could understand each other.
"My death is voluntary. Even if my commander didn't betray me, I have no expectations for this world."
"I hope you can treat Xiao An well and raise her well."
"In the future, she might be very mischievous, she might be naughty, she might be very noisy, or she might be very domineering."
"But she will definitely be a cute and kind child. I believe that she will be like that."
Suddenly, a ball of fire ignited on the elemental spirit's fingertip.
This ball of fire was very pure, far purer than any other fire element.
"Just treat it as my gift to you."
"I only hope that you can take good care of her in my place."
Bang!
The elemental spirit sitting on the ground suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a wisp of fire that drilled into Xiao Huo's body.
All of a sudden, Xiao Huo seemed to stand taller than before.
However, his eyes revealed an indescribable heaviness.
Crack.
At that moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the magma egg in Bai Feng's hands.
A featherless chick about the size of a human palm crawled out of the eggshell.
She struggled to get out, as if she had sensed something.
After crawling out of the eggshell, she looked around blankly. As if she couldn't find the person she was looking for, she began to flap her wings.
"Come."
Bai Feng called out to Xiao Huo.
Xiao Huo walked over. The instant she saw Xiao Huo, the little chick's expression lit up. She flapped her wings in an attempt to fly up to Xiao Huo.
Unfortunately, she was just too small.
Before she could take more than a few steps, she sat back down in Bai Feng's hands. She stared at the eggshell with her red eyes and began to chomp down on it.
"You have her mother's scent on you. She really likes you."
Bai Feng tilted her head and watched as the little chick finished the eggshell, bit by bit.
Once she finished, she flapped her wings in satisfaction and leaped up.
After eating the eggshell, she really did grow quite a bit. She instantly jumped onto Xiao Huo's head and began to chew on the flames on top of his head.
"Xiao Huo," said Ye Zichen.
The little chick wasn't playing around. She really was eating Xiao Huo's fire element.
"Let her eat."
Xiao Huo smiled, but his eyes were filled with helplessness.
Then, he looked at Bai Feng and said.
"Can I raise this little fellow in the future?"
"You?" Bai Feng frowned. "Sure. Since I won't be returning to my clan for the time being, I'll leave her in the Land of Elements. If you want to raise her, then you can. I won't refuse if someone wants to raise her."
"Leave her in the Land of Elements?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows.
"There's no place more suitable for elemental phoenixes to live in than the Land of Elements," said Bai Feng. "There's plenty of fire element here. It's a paradise for her. I didn't know there was an elemental phoenix here, so I'll leave the crystal core here. "
"I'll stay as well," Ye Zichen nodded.
"That's what you should be doing," Bai Feng twitched her mouth. "She already belongs to you. I'm staying as a friend, but you staying is a must."
"…"
"Since you've obtained custody of this little fellow, then you have to take care of her. I'll make a list for you. Go back and prepare!"
