Without waiting for his reply, White Phoenix's eyes revealed a hint of confusion, as though she was reminiscing about the past. She muttered to herself, "He's definitely dead. Shen Mi betrayed him. How could he let him live? Falling into his hands would only result in death."
Miao Yi's gaze flickered as he pondered the meaning behind her words.
White Phoenix snapped out of her daze and asked, "Do you want to live or die?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. "Of course I want to live."
White Phoenix said, "Then let me test you. As long as you can pass this test, I will let you go."
Miao Yi tried asking, "What test?"
"Take out your hand." White Phoenix beckoned with her finger.
Miao Yi didn't understand and extended both his hands.
"One is enough." White Phoenix reached out and grabbed one of his wrists, pulling him in front of her. She lifted his palm and pressed it against her chest.
"..." Feeling the supple elasticity of her breasts with his palm, Miao Yi was dumbfounded. He was so shocked by this woman's wildness that he was at a loss for words. He couldn't help but misunderstand her so-called test.
"If you dare to let your imagination run wild, I will stab your eyes blind." White Phoenix glared at him and warned him. She grabbed his wrist and refused to let go. She said seriously, "There's something hidden in my heart. If you can take it out without hurting me, you'll pass the test and I'll let you go. I'm a man of my word."
"Heart?" Miao Yi was surprised.
White Phoenix said, "Try using your arts. If you are confident, then take it out. If not, don't force it. I'm warning you. Don't think you can hurt me. Even without a heart, I can still live for a few hours. That's more than enough time to kill you. "
Miao Yi was a little curious. Seeing that she was serious and didn't seem to be joking, he hesitated for a moment. He could only brace himself and try. He slowly closed his eyes and imbued his arts into her chest to investigate.
Miao Yi was a little surprised to see the world inside her body. He didn't expect the inside of her body to be white as well. The blood flowed into a heart in front of him. It was a heart that was beating and translucent like a crystal. White blood flowed within it.
"It's inside the heart." Noticing his pause, White Phoenix reminded him again.
Miao Yi then imbued his arts and went deeper. He entered her heart and looked inside. If he hadn't looked, he wouldn't have known. However, what he saw shocked him. Someone had actually opened up a small space within her heart. Or rather, someone had laid down an array formation. A flame that looked like an invisible wave of water was burning in the middle of the formation.
Others might not know what this invisible flame was, but he could not be clearer. It was actually the Heart Flame!
How could he not be shocked? The shock in his heart could be said to be indescribable. Someone had actually left a strand of Heart Flame in this woman's heart.
He now roughly understood the use of the small formation. It was used to restrain the Heart Flame. Once someone destroyed the formation, the Heart Flame would definitely burn the woman's heart.
Miao Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes to look at her. He asked in surprise, "You were the one who set up this array?" Even he didn't know how to use external forces to control the heart flames.
White Phoenix: "Cut the crap, I'm only asking if you can extract that invisible flame."
Miao Yi pondered for a moment. "How do I know if you mean what you say?"
White Phoenix raised an eyebrow and said, "In other words, you can take it out?"
Miao Yi said, "Send me and my people out of here first. Once we're out of this place and have confirmed that it's safe, I'll help you extract that invisible flame."
White Phoenix stared at him. She grabbed his wrist with one hand, while his palm was still pressed against her chest. The two of them stared at each other, speechless.
Another scene appeared in White Phoenix's mind. Back then, she was still very young. When she came to this world to play, she met a woman. A woman who was as beautiful as a dream. Up until now, she had never seen a woman more beautiful than that woman in this world.
That beautiful woman had a handsome man by her side. White Phoenix had never seen a man more handsome than that man. He was a man who could make a woman's heart beat faster with just a glance. She could still vaguely remember how young she was at the time, but she was still dumbfounded by his beauty. She couldn't imagine how a man could be so handsome.
Of course, she had no feelings for love. She just thought that the man was very handsome. He wasn't like other women who always wanted to make him their own.
It was precisely because that beautiful woman thought she was cute and liked her that the man catered to her. Under threats and promises, he made White Phoenix acknowledge that woman as his master. From then on, White Phoenix had been serving that beautiful woman by her side.
During this period of time, she experienced many things with the man and woman. The man was peerless in his generation, unparalleled in talent and power, but he regarded the beautiful woman as the only true love in his life. He gave the woman unparalleled love in the world. At that time, it was unknown just how many beautiful women were dejected.
That man and woman were truly the pinnacle of lovers in this world. They were peerless and unparalleled!
Later on, something happened to that man and woman. Everything was like a dream or an illusion. They were ravaged by a storm and withered like a flower.
She had long since grown tired of being a slave, so she took the opportunity to run away. In the end, that man somehow managed to find her. At the time, Shen Mi was in his hands, and she was beaten half to death by that man. As punishment, that man also left something in her heart, something that could take her life at any time.
That man explained a few things to her, and told her that if one day someone found her with the thing in Shen Mi's body and could remove the seal on her body, that person would be her new master. He wanted her to acknowledge him as her master …
However, no matter how talented that man was, he still incurred the jealousy of the heavens along with that woman. Just like that, an earth-shattering and merciless storm passed, the past forgotten.
"Do you know who left that thing in my heart?" White Phoenix suddenly asked with a smile.
Actually, when Miao Yi saw the flame in her heart, his heart was already in turmoil. When he heard her question, he asked doubtfully, "Who did it?"
'This woman really doesn't know. She just told me. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave. She almost gave me a fright!' White Phoenix raised her brows and said, "Take it out, and I will spare your life. I will also promise to let your companions leave with you. There is no room for negotiation in front of me."
Miao Yi insisted, "Let us go first. Once we reach a safe place, I will naturally help you take it out."
White Phoenix tossed his wrist away. Her attack was as fast as lightning, and Miao Yi couldn't dodge at all. The difference in strength between them was simply too great.
She grabbed Miao Yi's neck and coldly said, "You think I won't dare to kill you?"
Miao Yi's face turned red from the grip, but he couldn't move an inch. He could only force himself to close his eyes.
He knew very well that if he really did remove the seal on her, then he wouldn't be able to control his own life. If she wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Promises were unreliable. He didn't even know what kind of person she was, so how could he trust her so easily?
Right now, the seal on her body was the only thing he could rely on to survive. He didn't believe that she wouldn't be afraid of the flame in his heart, so he decided to fight her to the end.
Seeing him like this, White Phoenix was furious. "Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, I guess I have no choice but to teach you a lesson. I'd like to see how long you can last." She raised her two sharp fingers, ready to stab Miao Yi blind.
However, at that moment, the dark green bead around Miao Yi's neck that was concealed by his collar flashed with a faint light.
White Phoenix's fingers froze in mid-air. She stared at Miao Yi with widened eyes, looking as though she had just seen a ghost.
"Ugh …" She gradually let out a low groan of pain. The pained expression on her face was hard to conceal, and the two fingers she had extended froze in mid-air, trembling.
Whoosh! Suddenly, he swung his arm and tossed Miao Yi away. Clutching his chest with both hands, his body swayed unsteadily as he stumbled to the side. Grabbing onto the jade pillar for support, he shook his head in agony.
"Cough cough!" After coughing twice, Miao Yi rubbed his neck and slowly got up. He was a little surprised to see the other party acting so strangely. He didn't know what was wrong with her.
He didn't know that the flame in her heart had never shown any signs of abnormality for so many years. But just now, the flame suddenly erupted and burned fiercely, as though it was trying to break through the small formation and burn her heart to ashes. The pain and fear she felt was unimaginable.
"Stop!" White Phoenix gasped as she held onto the pillar. She hugged the pillar and knelt on the ground, trembling as she said, "I was wrong. Please stop it."
Miao Yi was stunned as he rubbed his neck. He wondered if the other party was talking to him. He looked around. There were only the two of them in the empty hall. Who else could they be talking to if not him? But he hadn't done anything!
However, the effects of her apology were obvious. The strange flame in her heart calmed down once again.
"Ugh …" She suddenly raised her head and let out a long sigh. She clutched her chest with both hands and fell to the ground, panting heavily.
After a while, she slowly got up and glared at Miao Yi with a face full of grief. "What did you do to me?"
'What did I do?' Miao Yi didn't do anything. He didn't know what was going on either, but he was happy to play dumb. He shrugged and didn't dare to say anything, afraid that he would make a mistake and give himself away. He still didn't know what was going on.
White Phoenix felt the urge to kill him. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll let you go. Do you promise to take out the thing in my body?" In the past, she wasn't worried at all. She thought that since that person had died, as long as she didn't do anything rash, the seal in her body wouldn't be able to do anything to her. At most, she would just think of it as an extra thing in her body. However, after what she had just suffered, she didn't dare to linger any longer.
Miao Yi was also anxious to escape. It was too dangerous to stay by this woman's side. He nodded and said, "I will keep my word. As long as you can do it, I will not go back on my word."
White Phoenix nodded. She looked at him with a slightly strange expression. Seeing that Miao Yi didn't mention anything about making her acknowledge him as her master, she was even more certain that Miao Yi didn't know anything about it. As such, she decided not to mention it again. There was no need to tie a rope around her neck.
Suddenly, White Phoenix took out a Star Bell. After listening to it, her expression immediately changed.
Outside the Chaotic Starry Sea, Defeating Armies and Wu Qu were standing outside the command tent, watching over the vast expanse of jade dust in front of them.
