Nighttime.
They were out on a trip for the entire day. It was fun but a bit tiring. They brought back a lot of things.
Li Nianfan worked on the 'Bootlicker's Guide to the Immortal Realm'. Then, he added Xiao Chengfeng and the Carp Demon on the 'List of Bigshots'. He soon fell asleep.
The Fire Phoenix walked out of her room in the four-part architecture. She looked at the playful little carp swimming excitedly in the small pond. She instantly smirked.
She said quietly, "Little Dragon, stop pretending! Drop your disguise."
The little carp instantly jumped. Then, it leaped out of the pond and transformed into a five-year-old child. It was a little girl in a white dress.
She looked nervous and pitiful.
She had a baby-ish voice, too. She nervously said, "You… You're a Phoenix?"
The Fire Phoenix said, "Don't be scared. The grudge between dragons and phoenixes was squashed a long time ago. We both vanished. There's no use for a fight."
