you won’t be able to fly out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden voice made the Phoenix Fire Spirit halt abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wobbled its head, looking around as if searching for the source of the voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t harmed you; why have you captured me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of the Phoenix Fire Spirit was clear and crisp, unexpectedly that of a young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Lin Chen wonder—could the Phoenix Fire, upon gaining intelligence and a soul, actually be male or female?\u003C\u002Fp>",991,"2026-06-06T01:52:35.356Z",1,"novelbin.me","10e9f54829c2b49239b221258de56f6afe1db16a4eccc524897c1b7097702d12","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2427","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2425",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
