Kang Shin-mu quickly understood some things about the Fire Phoenix Princess.
He finally understood why the Qiuhuang Dragon Country did not care about the Fire Phoenix Princess.
The Fire Phoenix Princess was only twenty-two years old. Compared to the lifespan of a dragon warrior, she could only be considered a little girl.
On the day she was born, there was a great fire that burned down the side palace where her mother was.
Her mother died on that day. When she was rescued from the fire, her entire body was burned and she was extremely ugly. Everyone in the royal family despised her.
Moreover, her mother was the favorite concubine of the Dragon King of the Qiuhuang Dragon Country's royal family.
Therefore, even her father did not like her!
No one in the entire Qiuhuang Dragon Country's royal family liked the Fire Phoenix Princess. This caused the Fire Phoenix Princess to feel inferior since she was young. Even the maids in the palace did not treat her well for various reasons. She was also instigated by the other princesses and princes to make things difficult for her in daily life.
Because she caused the death of her mother, the Fire Phoenix Princess had always blamed herself. She wanted to be good to others and everyone.
But in exchange, she was bullied even more severely by others.
It was only when she was sixteen that she barely managed to cultivate to the Ascension Dragon Realm without any cultivation resources. She obtained the qualifications to obtain the Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon's divine dragon inheritance blood essence on the Coiling Dragon Pillar.
From then on, the Fire Phoenix Princess became famous. This was because the Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon was a Heavenly Dragon's inheritance blood essence. It was the purest fire attribute inheritance blood essence!
The ancestor of the Qiuhuang Dragon Country, the deceased Dragon Emperor, was the inheritor of the Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon.
This was a type of divine dragon's blood essence that grew extremely quickly. Moreover, it was the pinnacle of fire attribute divine dragon's blood essence. Once obtained, one's future would be limitless.
Unfortunately, because her entire body was burned until it was ugly, no one liked her.
However, no one of her age continued to bully her. Only the elders of the royal family were still unhappy with her.
Later on, an unknown rumor spread that using the Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon's divine dragon blood essence as a sacrifice to the ancestor could make the family or even the country prosper.
Even the royal family believed in this rumor.
Every month, Princess Fire Phoenix's biological father would come and cut her finger to absorb two bowls of Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon's blood essence.
A portion of this blood essence was used by the royal family to worship their ancestors, and a portion was sold by the royal family to the outside world. It could be sold for a high price on the market, and was bought by some large families within Qiuhuang Dragon Country to worship their ancestors.
In the beginning, the Fire Phoenix Princess felt that she had let down her mother. She had always felt inferior and didn't resist.
After a year, she felt that she had become extremely weak, so weak that she was about to die.
The amount of Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon essence blood in her body was getting thinner and thinner.
Even in this situation, her father did not stop absorbing the Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon's essence blood!
She had even knelt down and begged her father to stop absorbing her essence blood. However, not only did her father not sympathize with her, he even went from bad to worse. That month, he took away four bowls of Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon essence blood, leaving her unconscious in her room. No one cared about her.
Three days later, she finally managed to wake up. She was hungry and weak. She wanted to eat something, but no one in the imperial palace paid any attention to her.
She used all her strength to climb onto a white horse and let the white horse send her to Praying Phoenix Forest.
Because she had come to Praying Phoenix Forest several times and helped many of the demon beasts, she really didn't want to stay in the imperial city anymore. However, she had nowhere else to go, so she could only choose to come to Praying Phoenix Forest and associate with the demon beasts.
She came for seven days and seven nights. The royal family didn't realize that she was missing at first. Later, a maid went to look for her, but she couldn't find her. Her father sent people to investigate, and only then did they know that she had come to Praying Phoenix Forest.
However, no one in the royal family was willing to look for her.
In any case, there wasn't much Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon essence blood left in her body. There was no value in finding her, and it was very likely that the Fire Phoenix Princess was already dead.
If word of this spread, it would naturally affect the royal family badly.
Therefore, they issued a mission for the students of Donghuang Yongwu College to find her.
They wouldn't lose anything if they found her.
If they couldn't find her, they wouldn't lose anything either.
They would just lack the Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon's essence blood in the future.
"The princess came to Praying Phoenix Forest and said that she wanted to live here forever. We were all very happy."
The fox demon girl in front of Kang Shin-mu started crying as she spoke. Tears flowed down her face. "Everyone brought the princess to this valley and let her have a good rest here.
But at that time, I fell sick, and it was a very serious illness. Every fox demon that contracted this illness would die … The princess, she, although she didn't have much essence blood left, she still transferred her Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon essence blood to me. She actually saved me!
"Now, she is really very weak. She has been unconscious all this time, and there is only a sliver of the Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon essence left in her body."
The fox demon girl's words made Kang Shin-mu feel deeply moved.
Originally, he didn't want to care about these things. He just wanted to find the Fire Phoenix Princess and bring her back to earn points.
But now, he changed his mind.
The Praying Phoenix Dragon Country's royal family was actually so cold-blooded. They treated a girl who had been burnt since she was young!
And her father actually took his own daughter's blood as a sacrifice. Even though his daughter was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to speak, he didn't show any mercy … He was worse than a beast!
"Take me to the princess." Kang Shin-mu looked at the fox demon girl who was crying her eyes out and said.
"No!"
The fox demon girl instantly became alert. She wiped the tears on her face. "If you see the princess, I can't stop you from taking her away!
I … I can do whatever you want to me, but I will never let you see the princess! "
"I can do whatever I want to you?"
Kang Shin-mu looked up and down at the fox demon girl's perfect and graceful figure. He shook his head. "I have no interest in you.
But if you don't let me see her, how do I know if you're telling the truth?
Besides, the Butterfly Fire Phoenix Dragon essence blood in her body is almost gone. Perhaps I can try and see if I can save her. "
"You want to save the princess?"
The fox demon girl looked at him suspiciously.
"I can try, but I can't guarantee success."
Kang Shin-mu nodded. "If what you say is true, I can give up on taking her away.
So, take me to see her. "
"I don't believe you."
The fox demon girl was naturally wary of humans.
"Even if you don't take me, do you think I won't be able to find her?"
