Fang Yin lowered his head to compose the words he was about to say. Her beautiful eyes twitched as she thought.
"I have a hard time to ... to .. open this book." Fang Yin spoke stammeringly while showing the Book of Nine Seven-star Dragons in his hand.
The Fire and Ice Phoenix widened its eyes then leaped upwards. An unusual reaction was clearly drawn on his face. They are shocked, scared, and threatened.
Fang Yin did not know what to do. He immediately stored his book then leaped upwards following the Fire and Ice Phoenix.
"Stay away from me! I'm not gonna give you my fur. Never dream of getting it!" From the tone of his voice, the phoenix looked furious.
"But I need it most. Without your feathers this book cannot be opened. I can't finish nine books without this book." Fang Yin looked desperate.
On one hand he wanted the fur badly but on the other he did not want to ignite hostility. His heart was overwhelmed with sadness, worried about choosing to go forward or give up on the situation.
Whenever his heart was agitated, the energy within his body could not be properly controlled. Unintentionally, a black flame appeared by itself in both of his palms. Fang Yin felt fear when he saw it and his fear further added to the problem. The black flame grew bigger and bigger accompanied by the energy that enveloped his body.
'Wawat! I can't control my energy when it's hard to control myself. What am I supposed to do?' Fang Yin's face became even more panicked.
Seeing the changes that had happened to Fang Yin, the Fire and Ice Phoenix felt misunderstood. He sees it as a threat. His wings flapped slowly and produced hot and cold air from both sides.
His right wing let out an extremely hot flame, it shot out toward Fang Yin. There was no longer any chance of dodging, Fang Yin's right hand pushed forward then greeted the flames of the Fire and Ice Phoenix. Loud explosions sounded as the two energies collided.
His left wing shook rapidly, then the snow crystal glided swiftly attacking Fang Yin. The distance too close made it difficult to avoid. The Ice Shield Force protected his body and made the ice crystals stick on the shield.
Small cracks at the tip of the ice crystal move propagate, elongate and make the cracks become large. The shields and ice crystals broke and fell to the ground. The Fire and Ice Phoenix was shocked when it saw that Fang Yin had the same energy core.
Behind the Fire and Ice Phoenix appeared two more phoenixes with different body sizes. The pattern and color of the fur is also slightly different. Maybe each different level has different characteristics.
"Hey! Why did you come here? It's very dangerous." The Fire and Ice Phoenix that was fighting with Fang Yin felt panicked.
The two small Phoenixes glanced at Fang Yin then hid behind the big Phoenix. They whispered to the big Phoenix and said that their father was very sick.
Although it was very slow, Fang Yin could clearly hear what the two little phoenixes were saying. 'May this be my chance to approach them, ' he whispered inwardly.
The huge Fire and Ice Phoenix looked sad. The energy aura in his body weakened. He seemed confused to choose between staying there or going to see his family.
After Fang Yin felt calmer, the energy aura in his body could be well controlled. All his energy was stored back.
"I'm sorry. Really, I didn't mean to attack you. Until now I have not been able to control my energy while being panicked and frightened." Fang Yin tried to straighten out the misunderstanding between them.
"Just say everything you say is true and I believe you. Go now!" the Fire and Ice Phoenix.
'To get what I want I have to give up. I won't force him to give her fur. I hope he doesn't mind if I help his family. If I'm lucky, I'll definitely get that feather or nothing.' Fang Yin tried to think calmly.
Fang Yin advanced towards the Fire and Ice Phoenix. The two looked at each other with expressions that were difficult to decipher. For a moment they were silent without movement.
"I'll get out of here, but after helping you. I'm a healer, even if you believe me. If not, yes, I will go now." Fang Yin looked at the Fire and Ice Phoenix hoping for a positive response.
The Phoenix seemed to be worried by not saying anything.
Fang Yin retreated a few steps then turned around to leave. He stepped slowly hoping the Fire and Ice Phoenix called out to him.
'Will my hope really be in vain? I'll count my steps. If on the count of three he doesn't call me then I should forget about the phoenix feather and the Book of Nine Dragons. One ...,' Fang Yin said inwardly as he stepped.
'Two .. ti-.' his words came to a halt when the Fire and Ice Phoenix called out to him.
The Fire and Ice Phoenix asked Fang Yin to follow him behind. He asked the two small phoenixes to walk in front of him. The four of them stopped at a stone step that resembled a gate.
After passing through that dimensional portal, Fang Yin noticed a striking difference between that place and the place before. Right now he was on the edge of a lake with such a beautiful view.
The Phoenix that was with him transformed into a human form. Although they do not have a perfect face, they look very beautiful. They walk like him.
The crown on the head of the huge Phoenix was seen glittering in the sunlight that entered it. Although it is still daytime, in this place the heat does not make the air hot. In the dimensional realm it does have an invisible protector capable of adjusting the circumstances.
The phoenix brought Fang Yin into the courtyard of the palace with a unique building that was different from the palaces that existed in the human realm. Not many residents were there. They welcomed and saluted the Phoenix who took him.
"Stop!" the Phoenix exclaimed as they reached the palace terrace.
Fang Yin stopped his steps. In front of him was a bronze vessel placed on top of a carved stone. He did not know what the usefulness of the stone was and chose to wait for the Phoenix to explain it without asking.
"This is a vessel of the holy soul. With this vessel I can see a person's good or bad intentions. I will only let a good-hearted person enter this palace. For a bad-hearted person then he would be thrown by himself from this palace," explained the Phoenix.
Fang Yin nodded. He rolled up his sleeves by at least rolling them up.
"Do I have to put my hand in now?" ask Fang Yin.
"Do it!" The Fire and Ice Phoenix cast a spell as Fang Yin stuffed her hands inside the vessel.
The water inside the vessel was red before Fang Yin put his hand in. Both of his hands went inside his wrists. He did not feel anything as his hand went inside, like it was just holding ordinary water
Until a while nothing happened to Fang Yin. Only the color of the water turned milky white.
The Fire and Ice Phoenix smiled. His suspicions were not proven. Now he was certain that Fang Yin did not have any ill intentions.
Both of his hands fused with the body slightly bowing in salute to Fang Yin.
Fang Yin did the same to repay his respect.
There was no doubt, the two stepped inside the palace. From the outside of the palace it looked simple, but the circumstances inside were extremely luxurious. The glittering golden and diamond furniture was struck by the shining stone light that floated under the ceiling of the room.
The Fire and Ice Phoenix that had been with him since earlier was the leader of his race. No wonder the aura of authority was clearly visible on his face from the very beginning of their meeting.
They walked across the deserted palace hallway. Only a few phoenixes flashed in the huge palace.
"May I know, why does this palace look deserted? Where's inhabitants? Can't I see the others?" Fang Yin asked a lot of questions while walking.
"I'll explain later. Right now I'm not okay. Han Han Han Han's situation is very severe." The phoenix looked sad.
Fang Yin understood. After this they can talk a lot. Seeing the worry on the phoenix's face, there must be something suppressing his feelings.
