Chapter 1 — Phuong Hoa Van Thien

I am a phoenix. As soon as I broke out of my shell, I was immediately taken to the Fairy World to steal the elixir. Unfortunately, the fangs had not yet grown enough, so he could only widen his eyes, greedily watching his mother pecking and eating the fruit. Before he could eat a few bites, the Emperor heard the news and came. The mother trembled and immediately stuffed me into his arms: "My son repays you!" Having finished speaking, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared without a trace. I stirred a little in the Emperor's arms, found a soft place to curl up. Above his head, suddenly came a low voice, with three parts of hesitation: "Is this... want to drink milk?" 1 My mother is a famous monstrosity in the Demon World, not having half the nobility and elegance that the Phoenix family should have. All day, I only know how to eat haphazardly, or fly around and sow seeds haphazardly. The day I broke through my shell and was born, I appeared different from ordinary people - perhaps because of my innate talent, or perhaps because my bloodline was too mixed - as soon as I was born, I transformed into a human form. The mother tilted her head and looked at me for a long time, her bright red and yellow feathered tail gently brushed my cheek, and finally hesitantly confirmed: "This red lump... seems to be my child?" “How come there are no wings?” She stretched out her claws and carefully poked my round belly. I was so hungry that I immediately opened my mouth and cried loudly. The mother's eyes immediately lit up. Without a word, she took me in her arms, put her on her back, spread her wings, and flew straight up to Cuu Trung Thien. We passed through the clouds, finally quietly landing on Diep Thien De's peach table. “Shh——” The mother lowered her voice, “This is Diep Thien De's treasure, eat more.” Having finished speaking, she bowed her head and ate freely. Poor me, my teeth haven't grown yet, so I can only stare up at the peach tree full of fruit, constantly smacking my mouth against the northwest wind. Unfortunately, before my mother had time to eat a few bites, a giant hand shining with golden light suddenly descended from the sky, pressing her heavily to the ground. “It's you again, this little phoenix!” Following the cold shout, a towering figure appeared above the clouds. That man's eyebrows were star-shaped, his body was white as snow, his body emitted an oppressive aura that made others unable to breathe. My mother let out a pitiful cry, frantically begging for her life: "Your Majesty forgive me! This time I have brought a special gift to atone for my sins!" The man just raised his hand slightly, and the golden light immediately dissipated. My mother immediately threw me into his arms: "This child will accompany you!" Before she finished speaking, her body turned into a stream of light and quickly ran away. 2 I was held by Diep Thien De's neck, hanging in mid-air, my short legs shaking. He frowned tightly, examining me from top to bottom. “Phoenix child?” – he snorted coldly – “Your mother really knows how to choose things to apologize for.” My stomach was rumbling with hunger, I opened my mouth, almost burst into tears. Diep Thien De's hand trembled, almost throwing me to the ground. He stiffly hugged me and stuffed me into his arms. I immediately instinctively crawled into his shirt, my small mouth opened, looking for milk to suck. “Disrespectful!” – his ears turned slightly red, frantically pulling me out – “How could this lord…” “Wow——!” I burst into a loud cry. “Emperor, why not… let the slave…” – an immortal The pink-shirted Russian timidly bowed and suggested. Diep Thien De immediately gave me to her. Smelling the faint scent of milk, I immediately stopped crying, greedily latched on, and sucked freely. He stood to the side, his expression complicated, watching me eat and drink greedily. "Check clearly, which house does this phoenix belong to?" – he instructed in a low voice – “I will send it back tomorrow.” Three days later, I was sent back in full. "Reporting to the Emperor..." - the celestial soldiers trembled and reported - "The demon world said that this young bird's bloodline is mixed, it is not their phoenix clan." The blue veins in Diep Thien De's temples twitched: "Let's go investigate again!" At that time, I was lying on the couch, chewing on the chapter. Hearing that, she raised her head and grinned at him, revealing her two baby teeth that had just erupted. “Do not eat official documents.” – he pulled the paper from my mouth, but conveniently stuffed me a fairy fruit. I hugged the fairy fruit and nibbled it until water ran down my face. Suddenly he sneezed, spraying all the fruit pulp all over his body. In the hall, the group of fairies simultaneously took a breath of cold air. But I only saw Diep Thien De casually perform a cleansing technique, then raised his hand to wipe off the fruit residue on my face. "That's it..." - he sighed softly - "Let's just nurture it for now." I lived a happy and carefree life in Heaven, and was also given the name Phuong Kim Hoang by the Emperor. Thai Thuong Lao Quan's alchemy room turned into my play area, while the red thread in Nguyet Lao's hand became a tangled toy. The Russian fairies competed to sew beautiful little dresses for me, and the heavenly generals secretly taught me the art of wind control. Only when drinking milk, Diep Thien De always had a cold face and left me to be raised by a fairy. Until one day, I accidentally caught him secretly hiding behind the screen, carefully recording every move of the mermaids feeding me. “Are you… studying secretly?” – I tilted my head and asked. The jade slip in his hand fell to the ground with a "thump" sound, his ears glowing red: "What nonsense are you talking about! This lord is just... checking to see if the fairies have fulfilled their duties or not!" Thirty years later, one early morning, I sat perched on the branch of a peach table, swinging my legs, and suddenly exclaimed: "I miss my refuge." Emperor Quan stood under the tree and suddenly raised his head to look at me. “She's probably fishing in the Dong Hai,” – I raised my hand and counted with my fingers – “or she's stealing spiritual herbs in the Tay Son, or maybe…” “Packing her luggage.” - he spread his arms wide, signaling me to jump down - "This gentleman will lead you to find him." I shouted happily, jumped off the tree branch, and was immediately caught by him firmly. I hugged his neck tightly and whispered in his ear: "The Emperor is more trustworthy than his mother!" He didn't answer, but I clearly felt... the corners of his lips were curling up slightly. 4 The East Sea wind carries a strong salty and wet taste. I lie face down on top of the clouds and look down, the blue sea surface sparkles with ripples, a few dragon shadows appear in the water. “Dijun, you said… is my mother down there?” – I gently pulled his sleeve. "Dong Hai Dragon King has some friendship with your mother, perhaps he knows her whereabouts." I excitedly stood on tiptoe to see more clearly, but suddenly the Emperor reached out and hugged me tightly: "Don't move, be careful of falling down." His hand was warm and dry, but his grip on my shoulder was stronger than usual Every day it becomes more and more strict. The Dragon Palace is truly magnificent, the crystal palace in the sea emits magical light, and schools of colorful fish swim freely. Hearing the news of Diep Thien De's arrival, Old Dragon King quickly led a group of dragon descendants to welcome him. "I didn't know that the Emperor would come here. I'm so rude. Please forgive me!" – Old Dragon King bowed and bowed. I hid behind the Emperor, curiously sticking out half my head. Suddenly facing a pair of vertical amber pupils - was a young man wearing a blue robe, grinning at me. Old Dragon King's eyes turned, revealing a hint of surprise: "This person is..."{Read full on page Nguyet Hoa Cac} "This monarch raised..." - The Emperor paused, seemingly considering his words. “I am the little phoenix raised by the Emperor!” – I puffed my chest out, enthusiastically taking over. The blue-clothed dragon's eyes immediately lit up: "So it's little sister Phuong! I'm the third crown prince of the Dragon King - Ngao Binh. Can I take you to see the coral garden?" I was about to nod in agreement, when I suddenly felt my waist tighten - the Emperor's arm had already wrapped around me. “No need to rush.” – his voice was lower than usual, as calm as thunder in the clouds – “Let's discuss politics first.” The wise and experienced Old Dragon King immediately understood: "Your Majesty, please follow me into the main hall to discuss. Binh Nhi, please take this... little fairy to the back hall for some tea and breakfast." 5 I had just followed Ngao Binh a few steps when suddenly my wrist was held by someone. Turning my head to look, I didn't know when the Emperor had followed closely behind, handing me a brocade. “Take this Bich Thuy Pearl,” – his voice was calm – “so as not to get your clothes wet.” Ngao Bing's eyes immediately fell on the jewel that radiated a halo of glass, his expression changed slightly - it was clearly an ancient divine weapon, able to avoid thousands of currents. In the back hall, Ngao Binh enthusiastically introduced a variety of seafood snacks. I was holding a tall, transparent piece of glass to my mouth when I suddenly heard a commotion outside the palace: "I heard that Diep Thien De brought a little phoenix?" "That's right, just now I saw the Third Crown Prince leading me into the back hall..." "The Third Crown Prince is the best at pleasing women..." I curiously perked up my ears to listen, but without realizing it, the tall block in my hand had already "popped" and fell down, sticking to my skirt. "Sister, don't pay attention to the rumors," - Ngao Binh leaned closer and gave me a silk scarf - "I have even more delicious food here, want to try it?" As soon as he finished speaking, the electric door suddenly opened. A white-clothed Emperor entered, his eyes first fell on the stain on my dress. “The Emperor!” – I quickly jumped up, instinctively hiding the dirty part of my skirt behind me. He slowly walked forward, lightly touching his fingertips, and the stain immediately disappeared. Then, he turned to Ngao Bing and calmly said: "Third Crown Prince is willing. But this child's organs are weak and are not suitable for eating cold seafood." Ngao Binh's face stiffened slightly: "It was the little minister's negligence and not thinking carefully." Leaving the Dragon Palace, the Old Dragon King said he had not seen any trace of my mother recently, but advised him to go to the Western Buddhist country to inquire. Returning from the clouds, I raised my head and asked suspiciously: "Why do you think there's something strange about the Emperor today?" He looked intently ahead and at the corners lips curled slightly again: "What's strange?" “So… first suddenly gave me the Bich Thuy Chau, and then deliberately went to the back hall to look for me, then…” “You are still young, you don't understand the cruelty of people's hearts.” - he interrupted, gently patting my head - "The way the Third Crown Prince looks at you... well, after saying that, you still don't understand." I pouted: "You're already thirty years old!"
