The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1822: The Phoenix was Born

The Phoenix was Born . . .

"Chirp?"

The Cane of Void was staying quietly in the Wood Space. Suddenly, it screamed and flew out, landed on Cha-Eun Xiao's shoulder. It stared at the two eggs with curiosity. Its big round eyes had instilled caution.

The Golden Hawk came out too. It had been staying alone to cultivate because it thought it was weaker than Cha-Eun Xiao and Bab. Now, the hawk flew out and landed behind Cha-Eun Xiao.

The forty Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes had come out and stayed low on the floor too. They were worshiping the two eggs which were releasing glaring lights and beautiful scent.

There was a certain class system in the beast's world.

Erhuo was pushed away by the power, but then it just stood up and watched the egg from an upper angle. It looked lazy as if the eggs didn't mean anything to it at all.

Bab looked cautious. It was looking at the eggs. Maybe these two little things would be huge threats to it soon.

Hawky looked solemn. It wasn't afraid. It was looking forward to it.

The snakes were getting low on the floor!

The snakes could keep upgrading, and they had upgraded many times, but they were still snakes. As they saw the dragon and the phoenix, they had to get down!

That was it. A clear system of classes.

Cha-Eun Xiao moved a chair over and sat on it.

He was looking forward to the dragon baby and the phoenix baby too, but he hadn't decided to accept them yet. They could be a great support, but could also be a burden to him. With these two creatures, he could never break the connection to the dragon clan and the phoenix clan. These two clans were from the Glaze Sky!

Erhuo had done hard works to make sure there was a Blood-bond between Cha-Eun Xiao and the two things. It did this for Cha-Eun Xiao, so Cha-Eun Xiao stayed!

Bab sat on his shoulder, with its head leaning on his neck. The Golden Hawk was standing proudly on Cha-Eun Xiao's side, and its beak kept touching Cha-Eun Xiao on the leg.

Erhuo lay on Cha-Eun Xiao's arms, with its tail covering the face. 'I want to sleep… I am exhausted…'

…

Cha-Eun Xiao's eyes were like the eyes of a hawk. He stared at the eggs, and the eggs started to shake. The shell was getting more and more transparent.

It looked like the shell was getting thinner.

Cha-Eun Xiao was surprised.

Was the shell getting thinner?

He observed them, and it was real.

After a while, the chirp of a dragon and a phoenix sounded in the Boundless Space. It was full of the prestige of kings.

The power made it depressing inside the Boundless Space.

The snakes had been lying on the floor. They didn't even dare to shiver this time. They nearly stopped breathing too.

Hawky raised up its head standing straight up.

It tried to look indifferent, but Cha-Eun Xiao knew that it was looking forward to it. Hawky was born alongside with the thunders. It wasn't normal hawks. Cha-Eun Xiao used to feed it a lot of spiritual beads and spiritual energy. Hawky was beyond most of the beasts in the world. However, the dragon and the phoenix were born to be kings.

Erhuo was sleeping. Bab wasn't moving. They both were indifferent about it. Bab was at such a high level. It was only a little weaker than the crazy cat. The others meant nothing to Bab, even Hawky. Dragon and Phoenix weren't important for it!

After a while, something happened.

"Dang, dang… Dang, dang… Dang, dang…" The sound kept resounding. It seemed whatever made the sound was hesitating… It sounded like the little things were trying something…

Cha-Eun Xiao looked at the phoenix egg.

The sound came from the phoenix egg. Apparently, the phoenix was trying to breach out. It was cracking the shell with its small beak…

After that, a similar sound came out from the dragon egg too. It seemed the dragon baby was echoing with the phoenix…

The dragon was weaker than the phoenix on breaking the eggshell. Dragons didn't have beaks after all…

"Dang, dang… Dang, dang… Dang, dang…" The phoenix was pecking faster and faster. It wasn't difficult to imagine the picture of a naked bird pecking the wall and shaking its hip…

What an interesting picture!

Finally…

"Dang…"

– Crack! –

A crack was on the top of the phoenix egg. After that, there was a small hole that released some incredible scent out!

The sound in the phoenix egg stopped.

The little thing must be thinking, 'Wait! Is this thing cracked?'

After that one second of hesitation…

"Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang…" It pecked faster. Apparently, the phoenix baby saw hope, so it worked harder.

The hole on top of the egg became bigger and bigger…

The beak, which was yellow, kept sticking out from the top of the egg. It was moving so fast that people only saw a phantom of the beak…

"Descendant of the Golden Phoenix King…" Cha-Eun Xiao was impressed. The phoenix baby could actually move so fast when it was still inside the egg. It was as good as a Divinity Origin Stage cultivator already…

Finally…

– Pah… –

On top of the phoenix egg, a piece of the shell that was as small as one purple spirit coin cracked off.

The scent became even richer in the air…

A small head cautiously came out, which had two small round eyes and light yellow feathers…

Cha-Eun Xiao moved closer.

He didn't want to make that Blood-bond. He was just being curious!

As its head was sticking out of the egg, it saw Cha-Eun Xiao's pretty face. It was shocked.

It froze. It kept staring at Cha-Eun Xiao and didn't move.

The next moment, its head was back into the egg again.

Any kind of life form would duck when facing something unknown and scary!

Cha-Eun Xiao almost laughed out.

The little thing was so adorable!

After a while, the baby phoenix stuck out its head again, trying to look at Cha-Eun Xiao. It looked less terrified this time and just chirped.

Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't speak bird's language, but it seemed he knew what the phoenix was saying… It was calling him dad!

Cha-Eun Xiao was shocked…

'Dad?'

'What the hell is this? I do want people to know that I am not a virgin anymore, but I don't have a child yet! How could I suddenly become a dad? I don't want it!'

Cha-Eun Xiao rubbed his head and stared at the little thing.

The little phoenix was excited. It kept crawling out of the egg but couldn't get its body out. After all, the hole on the shell was too small yet. It just couldn't get out. Now, it stuck at the hole and couldn't get in or out!

Little phoenix thought for a second and looked at Cha-Eun Xiao. "Chirp, chirp, chirp…"

'Dad, help me out.' That was a sweet and weak voice, which shook Cha-Eun Xiao's soul.

Cha-Eun Xiao felt like being struck by thunder.

"Well, you have to get out by yourself. It is the start of your life. You have to do it yourself." Cha-Eun Xiao rubbed his head and gently talked to the little thing. "Dad can't help you."

Then he realized something wrong. 'Holy hell! What did I just say? I was right, but did a baby phoenix understand what I said?'

The next moment, the little thing surprised Cha-Eun Xiao again. It started to look Cha-Eun Xiao in the eyes with tears. It seemed it was going to burst into tears…

It understood Cha-Eun Xiao, and it gave responses…

'Humph! Dad doesn't help me…'

The little phoenix lowered its head and finally got back into the eggshell…

After that…

Something sounded from the shell. – Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang… –

It was annoying…

On top of the phoenix egg…

The small hole was getting larger… As the small piece of shell was cracked off. The hole became bigger and bigger…

In fact, it was big enough for the phoenix to get out, but it didn't do it. It just kept pecking and pecking…

– Dang, dang, dang… –

It lasted for two hours without any rest.

Cha-Eun Xiao watched it, and he was in shock. The entire eggshell became small pieces on the floor in the end.

They were everywhere on the floor.

The phoenix finally revealed itself. However, it was still pecking something under its feet… It was a piece of eggshell…

It kept pecking the eggshell and turned it into ashes!

In the end, it looked up and stared at Cha-Eun Xiao. It moved its wings, which didn't have feathers yet. "Chirp, chirp…"

At that moment, the baby phoenix was like a king descending to the world…

It was just a baby phoenix, yet people felt like it was a king… In fact, it had no feathers yet, so it was like a red naked king… That was kind of funny…

A featherless phoenix didn't even compare to a chicken. It could be real!

"Chirp…" Bab smiled. 'That is it! There it is! I was looking forward to it, and now I am disappointed!'

Cha-Eun Xiao didn't know that this little thing had an ill temper like that. He didn't help it because he wanted the phoenix to do it on its own. It apparently didn't appreciate it, and it cracked all the shell to vent its anger…

It must be very angry…

Cha-Eun Xiao didn't really care about the two little creatures anyway. Now he was annoyed, so he didn't feel happy about it anymore!

"Come here!" Cha-Eun Xiao reached out one hand. He was a grown-up man. He shouldn't be mad at a baby bird.

The phoenix stood among some cracked pieces of eggshell, tilted its head, looked at Cha-Eun Xiao's hand angrily. After a while, it slowly walked to him and put its body on his warm hand.

That must be comfortable. It chirped and made a turn in the palm, lay down, stretching its legs. It stared at Cha-Eun Xiao and rubbed his hand with its head.

Cha-Eun Xiao felt touched, but he kept staring at the little thing angrily and said, "Why are you so testy? How could I help you break the shell? It stopped you from gaining your gift! Are you a fool? How could you be mad at me? Why so testy? Go away. I don't want you…"

He then let go of the phoenix.

He might be pretending. He wanted the Phoenix to make a choice. If it chose to be arrogant, maybe they weren't supposed to be with each other. If it came to him and showed softness, they must be connected because of destiny!

The phoenix chirped and kept moving toward Cha-Eun Xiao, fawning on him, rubbing his hand. It wanted to go back into his warm big hand. Cha-Eun Xiao stared at it but didn't pick it up.

The phoenix stood on the floor, and tears came up in its eyes.

'Does a phoenix cry? Really?'

Cha-Eun Xiao was surprised, but he decided to play tough.

He had to confirm his prestige. In fact, that was how he tamed Hawky. He didn't do exactly the same thing, but it was the same purpose!

As expected, the phoenix lowered its head and tried to apologize. It chirped in a low voice, raised up its head, stared at Cha-Eun Xiao, and begged.

"Will you misbehave anymore?" Cha-Eun Xiao stared at it.

"Chirp…" The poor thing shook its head.

"Will you be arrogant and testy to me again?"

"Chirp…" It shook its head again.

"Fine. Good. Come over here." Cha-Eun Xiao reached out his hand again.

A flash of light shined. The phoenix moved into Cha-Eun Xiao's hand immediately and rubbed the big hand with its small head. Its entire body was moving forth and back, trying to please Cha-Eun Xiao…

"You must behave yourself. I am ill-tempered. Don't make me angry. You won't want the result of it." Cha-Eun Xiao held the phoenix in both hands and spoke nicely.

"Chirp…"

Maybe the little thing was tamed, or it got used to it quickly. Suddenly, it forgot about the sadness and made a few turns in Cha-Eun Xiao's hands. It stood up and staggered out the hand. It walked to the cracked eggshell and chirped. It picked up one piece of the broken eggshell and turned around, put it into Cha-Eun Xiao's hand, raised up its head, looking at him with a smile.

'It's delicious! Eat it, dad!'

Cha-Eun Xiao looked at the eggshell.

'It has to be something good, but this is too small… Is it even enough to fill the crack between my teeth?'

"I am good. You eat it. You just hatched. You need energy. It is good for you to eat it." Cha-Eun Xiao said.

The phoenix might understand what he said. It thought for a while and then started to eat the eggshell… It was eating unbelievably fast…

– Tak, tak, tak, tak… –

The little phoenix kept eating the eggshell even though it was full.

It was weird because high-level spiritual beasts should never be full.

"It won't burst, will it?" Cha-Eun Xiao asked Erhuo.

Erhuo disdainfully rolled up its eyes and went on sleeping.

Hawky looked at the eggshell, and it wanted to eat some too. It was the eggshell of a phoenix. It was some really good stuff to provide incredible energy…

"Go get yourself something to do! Don't you dare take anything from your nephew's bowl!" Cha-Eun Xiao warned Hawky.

Cha-Eun Xiao thought that Erhuo, Hawky, Bab, and himself were like brothers. The little phoenix called him dad, so it was the next generation!

Hawky chirped. It was upset. It felt so bad that it couldn't eat some of the good things…

As the phoenix kept eating fast, Cha-Eun Xiao found that the little thing's belly actually became smaller… No. It was not the belly. The phoenix was getting bigger!
