<h4>Chapter 1822: The Phoenix was Born</h4>


    “Chirp?”


    The Cane of Void was staying quietly in the Wood Space. Suddenly, it screamed and flew out,nded on Ye 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 Ye Xiao and Bab. Now, the hawk flew out andnded behind Ye Xiao.


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


    There was a certain ss 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 lookedzy 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 sses.


    Ye 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 ept 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 n and the phoenix n. These two ns were from the ze Sky!


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


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


    Erhuoy on Ye Xiao’s arms, with its tail covering the face. ‘I want to sleep... I am exhausted...’


    ...


    Ye 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.


    Ye 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 Ye Xiao knew that it was looking forward to it. Hawky was born alongside with the thunders. It wasn’t normal hawks. Ye 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...


    Ye 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 simr 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...” Ye 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...


    Ye 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 Ye Xiao’s pretty face. It was shocked.


    It froze. It kept staring at Ye 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!


    Ye Xiao almostughed out.


    The little thing was so adorable!


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


    Ye Xiao couldn’t speak bird’snguage, but it seemed he knew what the phoenix was saying... It was calling him dad!


    Ye 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 be a dad? I don’t want it!’


    Ye 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 Ye Xiao. “Chirp, chirp, chirp...”


    ‘Dad, help me out.’ That was a sweet and weak voice, which shook Ye Xiao’s soul.


    Ye 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.” Ye 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 Ye Xiao again. It started to look Ye Xiao in the eyes with tears. It seemed it was going to burst into tears...


    It understood Ye 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 gettingrger... 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... –


    Itsted for two hours without any rest.


    Ye 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 Ye 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 evenpare 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!’


    Ye 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...


    Ye 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!” Ye 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 Ye Xiao’s hand angrily. After a while, it slowly walked to him and put its body on his warm hand.


    That must befortable. It chirped and made a turn in the palm,y down, stretching its legs. It stared at Ye Xiao and rubbed his hand with its head.


    Ye 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 Ye Xiao, fawning on him, rubbing his hand. It wanted to go back into his warm big hand. Ye 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?’


    Ye Xiao was surprised, but he decided to y 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 Ye Xiao, and begged.


    “Will you misbehave anymore?” Ye 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.” Ye Xiao reached out his hand again.


    A sh of light shined. The phoenix moved into Ye Xiao’s hand immediately and rubbed the big hand with its small head. Its entire body was moving forth and back, trying to please Ye Xiao...


    “You must behave yourself. I am ill-tempered. Don’t make me angry. You won’t want the result of it.” Ye 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 Ye 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 Ye Xiao’s hand, raised up its head, looking at him with a smile.


    ‘It’s delicious! Eat it, dad!’


    Ye 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.” Ye 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?” Ye 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!” Ye Xiao warned Hawky.


    Ye 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, Ye Xiao found that the little thing’s belly actually became smaller... No. It was not the belly. The phoenix was getting bigger!
