Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Fire Phoenix 3: The Phoenix Child

Liu Xingsheng this time asked again. More precisely he did not want to conclude alone. Because he was quite afraid of what might happen. Because the previous incident was very scary.

"Yi Hua is okay, isn't it?" ask her again, and this time only to Huan Ran.

It was all because he felt quite afraid to call An. The man already looked like a Personal Guard in general. Usually An tends to be calm and never act tangled like this.

But now An looked rather dangerous and the sword never escaped from his hand. But it is useless if the sword is there, but do not know who was cut. That was why Liu Xingsheng did not want to be close to An. Who could have guessed that An would slash at him out of annoyance.

Plus ... Who can think clearly if they see previous events. They already knew how powerful the root was to entrap. Then, what about that little Yi Hua like a bad pigeon?

The best possibility was that Yi Hua was still alive, but her bones were broken. Then, the worst was Yi Hua breaking a bone and dying from blood loss. Liu Xingsheng immediately shriveled when he thought of it all. Believe me, the worst to the best will be equally terrible.

Plus Liu Xingsheng was the one who brought Yi Hua forcibly to Yi Village. If anything happens to Yi Hua ...

SRETT!

When An turned his body towards them, Liu Xingsheng immediately hid behind Huan Dan's body. However, the man dressed in all black just passed the two of them without saying anything. It made Huan Ran extend his hand to stop.

"You still don't know where Yi Hua was taken. After all, if according to belief the Phoenix Tree it would shine like Phoenix feathers every time the Qixi Celebration. Tonight is his celebration. It is possible that the path will open when the celebration begins," Huan Ran said, making sense.

If indeed this Phoenix Tree was related to the Qixi Celebration, then perhaps the Qixi Celebration was the bridge. The same thing as the bridge story that once a year exists to bring together lovers separated by the Goddess Khayangan. It was a story that was pretty much believed by people at this time.

He said, because a colorful weaver in the clouds married to a human*. The goddess Khayangan was angry and created a great distance between them. So they can't meet.

^^^*She is confused, her Indonesian version of the story is Jaka Tarub. It was almost the same as the Story of the Elves-weavers and the Cowherds. A human who takes an angel's shawl.^^^

However, because the magpies were concerned, many magpies united only to make bridges. But it only happens once a year. The two couples can only meet once a year.

It's just a story ... But who knows, the bridge does exist.

An kept walking away from them. The man did not care at all what Huan Ran said. Although Huan Ran called out to him, An simply replied. "If I can't find that path, then I'll make it."

Just like Liu Xingsheng said before. This guy is a bit dangerous. It's just that it's been so quiet all along, and there's nothing to disturb it.

This time ... I really feel disturbed.

***

A loud rumbling sound rang out in Yi Hua's ears. He could not feel his own body because he was shackled. Not to mention he did not dare to open his eyes for fear of seeing his own circumstances. He only knew that the situation could be very dire, especially with these terrible roots encircling him.

What if shit like this is always my part?

"Xiao, what's going on?" asked Yi Hua who realized it was too late.

His mind was somehow floating like a cow that could fly. It was both a strange and unique phenomenon, but it was almost impossible to happen. Yi Hua had never been possessed before. So he has no comparison to ascertain what happened. Perhaps what he had experienced before was possession.

He seemed to follow the direction of the voice just like that, and could not resist it.

Xiao exclaimed, "I guess you've started to ascend to the sky because all your strength has been absorbed by those roots."

Oh yea.

Yi Hua had honestly once felt where the demonic furnace roiled while working. But this time he did not feel it, even though he was covered by the roots before. Yi Hua's situation was still fine. Well, even now Yi Hua was unsure of his physical state.

However, Yi Hua was still spiritually healthy. There was no energy surge inside him. And, that meant that the roots of this tree did not absorb its energy.

Huh huh?

So, what did these things kidnap her for?

"He's Yi Xia."

That strange sound again. How could it be that Yi Hua could hear her voice, but she could not see her figure?

He could hear very clearly that the people were talking about him. That made Yi Hua immediately open her voice. Moreover, he did remember that the woman he had seen in the strange flash earlier was indeed similar to Yi Hua. Perhaps these roots thought he was Yi Xia.

Yi Xia's.

If Yi Hua had not mistakenly thought, then this Yi Xia might have connected blood with Yi Hua. And, maybe the birth mother of Yi Hua. Who would have thought this quest was faster to find than Yi Hua had expected.

"I'm not Yi Xia. Don't you see if I'm a man?" yi Hua asked who was trying to explain.

But Xiao immediately told Yi Hua that this fortune teller was not embarrassing.

"Why did you tell them you weren't Yi Xia? Besides, about men and women, you don't think they can feel your aura. You know the woman and the man have different auras. Creatures like them can feel it. That's why they think you're Yi Xia. Because you're his son, so you smell like Yi Xia. But, if they find out you're not Yi Xia, they'll kill you" Xiao said loudly.

All right, I'm quiet now!

Thas right. If he was not Yi Xia, then these roots would have killed him. That was what made Yi Hua choose a bungam. He had to find a way to free himself from the entanglement of this root. Then, he might be able to figure out a way to get out of this strange place.

SRETT!

"Godn ..."

Yi Hua felt the entanglement in his body harden even more. These roots twisted back, and if Yi Hua did not mistakenly guess then the ones who spoke these were the roots. He should have gotten used to these strange things.

Yi Hua frowned as his shoulder hurt. Those roots must be getting harder and harder around him. This was extremely dangerous while he was still within the entanglement of the roots. He could be destroyed without even fighting.

Yi Hua softened his voice as much as he could. At least he had heard Yi Xia's voice in his memories. Although not very similar, but at least he has tried.

"Take me off first. You hurt me" said Yi Hua who felt like she wanted to cry.

But if he cries, he cannot think clearly. He had to think of a way to destroy this root. The only thing Yi Hua thought of was to burn it. Unfortunately, if Yi Hua pulled the talisman to burn it now, then she would also burn. He's still twisted by the roots now.

SRAT!

When that winding started to loosen, and Yi Hua could breathe a sigh of relief.

Oh!! Why realize it so quickly?

Yi Hua tried to get away from his previous place. However, he is the same as a lizard in a sack. He can't do anything if he doesn't know the location. Even as he retreated his back still hit the ground. He was very sure he was in an underground cave.

"But, Yi Xia does smell like a human because she meets that human often," said another voice that responded.

How many roots can speak here? Yi Hua could only follow the direction of the voice. He still can't see anything.

"You're right. The Phoenix flames from Yi Xia were still the same. He is Yi Xia" said another voice.

Phoenix Fire? What was the meaning of this demon furnace inside Yi Hua's body?

But the Phoenix Tree?

Suddenly Yi Hua thought of a slightly connected thing. But if you think it might be true. Plus there was the nature of the Phoenix within the original Yi Hua.

"Xiao, is this 'back to start' ability actually Phoenix fire?" yi Hua asked who was starting to be able to deduce the origin of the demon furnace.

Believe me nothing comes up always in the condition of chance. There was no way that a demon furnace could form within Yi Hua's body existed just like that if Yi Hua were 'only' human. It was also impossible for this demon furnace to have such immense power if Yi Hua was 'only' human.

And, can't the ability to 'go back to the beginning' instead of being similar to a story?

A large red bird that burns with fire. Then, shortly from the scars of red ash from the burning bird appeared a small pat. A bird is reborn, even if it is only as big as a chick.

It was a Phoenix that came back to life, even though he had been burned. As long as the Phoenix flames were still in the bird's body, it would continue to live, even if it had been destroyed.

Although Yi Hua was close to death, but if his head was still attached to the body, then he would still be alive again. Even though dying. That makes a little sense.

Yi Hua initially thought that the ability to 'go back to the beginning' was a system grant, but this ability would not be his if he was not born as Yi Hua. Yi Hua is a descendant of Phoenix and humans. That was why Yi Hua could not use his strength.

Yi Hua continued again before Xiao replied. "So, I kind of snatched Yi Hua's body, didn't I? When the girl died and was supposed to come back to life, but my soul entered her body" said Yi Hua who felt very frightened.

This time Xiao said nothing. Even so, Yi Hua did not need any more explanation. He was firmly convinced that he was a different soul to Yi Hua.

It's because he has his own memories. And, he had also seen the past memories of the original Yi Hua. Those are two different things.

He was a different person to Yi Hua.

Then, how could he be reborn as Yi Hua?

Not yet had Yi Hua concluded anything, Xiao finally spoke up.

"You know when a soul leaves, it goes back to the sky. If the soul was too long in the world, then he would be a ghost or a demon. So it would be very strange if your soul wandered the world, and accidentally entered into Yi Hua's body. Moreover, as you can see in your memories, you may have long since left this world" Xiao said slowly. I don't know why this system is getting a little dark right now.

But what is darker than everything is reality. It was Yi Hua who was supposed to stay alive, but she snatched it. The life of Yi Hua. Even though he didn't know why he could take it.

Xiao sighed as he had to describe this puzzling thing.

"Just ... The real Yi Hua is gone. That's why you can wear her body. So the living ones right now are you, and the real Yi Hua ..."

This is so bad!

The sound of the roots coming back to his hearing. Yi Hua tried to move his hand to grab the talisman inside his pocket. However, the feeling of his hand was numb as his bones became soft. I don't know.

That was all that Yi Hua could feel right now.

However, he could not die in this place. Not after all this fact he knew. He couldn't die with so many questions in his head.

He could die of curiosity!

Even more sadly, Yi Xia and Shi Heng never knew that their daughter was dead. The demon furnace inside Yi Hua's body was sealed only so that Yi Hua could live like any other human in general. However, the girl was so poor that she could not live for so long.

THE TEST!

THE TEST!

He felt like laughing now, but why were his tears even dripping. He was afraid to continue his mission. Somehow she was afraid that all the things that happened to Yi Hua were actually related to her.

CRASH!!

Yi Hua lit a fire with the talisman that had just been taken out. However, not everything was digestible in his brain, his eyes caught something rather terrifying. That made Yi Hua point his clenched left hand towards the strange horde standing before him.

BUGH!

The clump of roots fell to the ground and scattered like a snake. They crept, and made Yi Hua shudder in horror.

So, I've been dealing with this strange creature?

However, because Yi Hua who reflexively hit him the roots became ferocious again. They clumped together like before, and started to be vigilant. Moreover, Yi Hua involuntarily dismantled her own guise.

"Where could Yi Xia be so rude like this?" ask the roots of each other.

Lothawat!
