Chapter 330: Yuan Feng

What's going on? Who is that man? Why would I……

In the Undying Volcano, a pair of narrow, elongated eyes slowly opened.

Yuan Feng, for some unknown reason, suddenly saw a towering figure appear in her mind.

Is it him?

Suddenly, Yuan Feng recalled a memory from long ago.

At that time, the Phoenix Clan suffered a great calamity, and she had no choice but to incarnate as the Vermilion Bird, eternally sealing the Southern Undying Volcano to cleanse the Phoenix Clan's sins.

However, the moment Yuan Feng reached the Undying Volcano, a towering figure suddenly appeared.

That towering figure, coming from nowhere, with a wave of his hand, infused Yin and Yang Qi into her body.

Yuan Feng, who sensed the Yin and Yang Qi, then gave birth to her children, Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

At that time, Yuan Feng didn't even have a chance to see the figure's appearance before she was forced to plunge into the Undying Volcano.

After an unknown number of years had passed, Yuan Feng thought she had forgotten this memory.

Yet, for some unknown reason, this memory surfaced again in her mind today.

Moreover, the once-blurry towering figure became clear.

Could it be because of Xuan'er? That it reminds me of that man?

Yuan Feng thought to herself.

No!

The next moment, Yuan Feng suddenly awoke, a strand of her primordial spirit straining to reach outside the volcano.

Because of the seal's existence, the instant Yuan Feng's primordial spirit touched the seal, it ignited into flames.

However, compared to the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden, Yuan Feng possessed a fire nature; although this fire was fierce, it could not completely burn away her primordial spirit.

Finally, Yuan Feng's primordial spirit managed to pry open a gap in the seal.

In an instant, Yuan Feng was completely stunned.

It's him, it's really him, he actually came looking for me!

Just in that moment of her daze, the surrounding flames suddenly intensified, forcing Yuan Feng to retract that strand of her primordial spirit.

Meanwhile, Ao Yifan naturally also detected that strand of Yuan Feng's primordial spirit.

Go!

The next moment, Ao Yifan grabbed the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden's arm, flashed, and slipped through the gap Yuan Feng had just pried open, entering the volcano.

Although the Heavenly Dao's seal was formidable, Ao Yifan believed that, given Yuan Feng's abilities over the years, she would surely be able to decipher its operating principles and find one or two loopholes.

So, rather than wasting his own energy searching, it would be better to let the Yuan Feng inside actively reveal herself.

Sure enough, just as Ao Yifan had anticipated, although this loophole was merely a trifling thread, it was already enough for him.

By the time the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden reacted, she discovered that her own clan's Ao Yifan was now in a space engulfed by endless flames.

And in the sky above that fiery space, a mysterious profound diagram slowly turned, while countless fiery-red iron chains hung down.

These chains ultimately converged at a single point.

There, a figure constantly engulfed in crimson flames was bound by those chains.

These chains continually drew power from that crimson figure, making up for the operation of the aerial formation.

Obviously, this is a self-binding formation.

It's Yuan Feng Elder Sister!

The Nine Heavens Profound Maiden recognized that crimson figure's identity at a glance.

Although the figure's appearance had changed, its aura remained unchanged.

Who are you?

The narrow eyes opened again, and upon seeing the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden's appearance, a hint of recollection appeared in their gaze.

It's you; I never expected that the little girl from back then would also have grown to her present strength.

When they first met, the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden was merely a little girl with Golden Immortal cultivation, while she had already become a Great Divine Ability Expert at the peak of the Quasi-Sage.

Yet, as the ages flowed by, the once exalted clan ruler became a prisoner of the Heavenly Dao, able only to bind herself, while that little girl from before had grown to reach her former realm.

Things remain, but people change; how lamentable.

However, regarding that little girl, Yuan Feng merely glanced at her; her true concern was the man holding the girl's slender waist.

For some unknown reason, upon seeing the two's intimate gestures, Yuan Feng felt an uncomfortable sensation in her heart.

This feeling was unfamiliar, and she also didn't know how to express this hint of dissatisfaction.

Who are you?

Yuan Feng looked at Ao Yifan and asked.

Although her tone was calm, she actually felt a bit nervous after speaking.

The Nine Heavens Profound Maiden gave Yuan Feng a puzzled glance, then turned her head to look at Ao Yifan.

What did he do?

Although she didn't know exactly what Ao Yifan had done, the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden keenly sensed from Yuan Feng's reaction that he must have done something earlier to provoke such a response.

After all, in the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden's impression, Yuan Feng was that sort of lofty, arrogant personality who looked down on everything.

Logically, it would be absolutely impossible for her to act this way toward a strange man.

I am Ao Yifan, here to rescue you!

Ao Yifan smiled as he introduced himself.

Rescue me?

Hearing that, Yuan Feng suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

By binding herself in this Undying Volcano, she was repaying the heavenly transgression she had once committed; this was the Heavenly Dao's prison, and even if a sage came, they could not save her.

Although the man before her was strong, Yuan Feng could sense that he had not yet taken that final step.

Don't joke, Your Excellency—something even a sage cannot accomplish!

Yuan Feng smiled bitterly and said: "However, I appreciate your kindness, Your Excellency; I still have a few treasures here—you may pick one."

As she spoke, several spiritual treasures flew out from around Yuan Feng.

"This..."

Seeing the spiritual treasures flying out from around Yuan Feng, the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

She couldn't fathom what Ao Yifan had done to make Yuan Feng willing to give him her spiritual treasures.

You should know that among these treasures are the Phoenix Feather and the Phoenix-Perch Paulownia Scepter—top-tier innate spiritual treasures, which were symbols of the Phoenix Clan back then.

Can these also be given away?

"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony!"

Ao Yifan smiled, gestured with his hand, and saw the Phoenix Feather land in his palm.

Watching this, a flicker of struggle crossed Yuan Feng's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a complex emotion.

"Forget it; anyway, I am bound here, and these treasures are useless to me."

Thinking this, Yuan Feng looked at Ao Yifan and said, "I will give you the treasures, only asking that you agree to one condition."

"What condition? Go ahead and say it."

Ao Yifan put away the Phoenix Feather, looked at Yuan Feng, and said.

"I don't ask you to rescue me, for that is impossible."

Yuan Feng looked at Ao Yifan with anticipation and said, "I only ask that you occasionally come to see me and tell me about the outside world."

"Something's off!"

"Absolutely off!"

At this moment, the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden's heart was overturned by a huge wave; she constantly felt that the man before her, once lofty and idolized, resembled someone she knew.

Princess Longji, that ultimate love‑brain!
