"Pleased to meet you we will be under your care" A man, along with others, bowed their heads to Xiao and Yun Yurou. They were the servants assigned to them. After Xiao fell asleep, Yun Yurou took advantage of the opportunity and slept beside him. When he woke up, it was definitely a surprise. Xiao never thought he would have fallen asleep.
Although a bit annoyed, Xiao didn't say anything to Yun Yurou. Her puppy eyes were hard to resist. Not much happened afterward as a group of people entered the room with their permission. These people were the servants assigned to them for the time being. What intrigued Xiao the most was that all of them were human, and some of them were even young.
Six people in total had come, and the one leading them was a middle-aged man with a powerful aura. The others were teenagers who appeared to be around 16 or 17 years old. All of them had remarkably strong cultivation. In Xiao's current timeline, they would be considered geniuses and hailed even in the 3rd heaven.
But here, they were mere servants of the Phoenixes, forever at their disposal. It didn't matter if they had cultivation on par with others, as they lacked anything "special" to surpass enemies of their own level. Currently, they could only focus on cultivating.
As they entered, the teenagers became captivated by Yun Yurou's presence. Then, they glanced at Xiao with envy, but there was no jealousy in their eyes. In fact, they held a hint of awe toward Xiao. News of what had happened had already spread across the lands of Nirvana, becoming the hottest topic throughout the realms of rebirth.
How could it not be? A half-phoenix? It meant that some lucky person had a good time with a Phoenix, the ruler of this realm. It was a significant piece of news that caused widespread outrage. The search for this Phoenix was conducted everywhere, but the news kept circulating.
Not only did this half-phoenix possess talent surpassing the current Empress, who was once hailed as a genius that appeared once in a million years, but she also performed a marking ceremony with a human boy! This news sent shockwaves throughout both the human and phoenix realms. An unseen talent was now linked to a human, shaking the foundation of Nirvana.
Numerous theories and speculations were already being spread. There was a hidden rumor as well, suggesting that the human boy had awakened an element. For humans, who were currently at the bottom, this was major news. However, there was no evidence yet, and speculations continued to spread far and wide.
Overall, a hurricane had swept across Nirvana, and many were still dealing with it. Now, seeing Xiao in front of them, the teenagers were convinced that the rumors held some truth. Xiao's temperament and appearance were anything but ordinary. His mere presence demanded a sense of worship.
Most of this was due to the purple flame, which exuded nobility and created an aura of pressure around Xiao, making him even more eye-catching. The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xiao, but he remained respectful and didn't say anything.
"Sure, we will need your help," Xiao spoke with a smile. Meanwhile, Yun Yurou stood beside Xiao, looking at the humans with a complex gaze. Xiao had already discussed the Beastial Era with her before, and it was a conflicting topic for her. She had experienced many issues and knew she didn't have the right to speak about the current situation.
At that moment, the middle-aged man spoke. "Young miss, the Empress desires your presence. The guards behind me will take you to the location she specified."
As he turned toward Yun Yurou, he was taken aback by the frosty look on her face. It was evident that she was enraged. After waking up, she inquired about how Xiao ended up inside the phoenix cauldron. When she learned the whole story, she was truly furious, but she couldn't do anything about it at the moment.
She could deduce who the woman was from Xiao's words, and she was currently too weak to take action. The only thing she could do was hold the grudge in her heart. Shaking off her mood, she looked at Xiao, who nodded. Seeing his approval, she smiled and started walking toward the guards, stealing a kiss from Xiao's cheek before leaving. To which Xiao stood there, surprised.
In the end, he decided to go with the flow. He was tired of dealing with Yun Yurou's antics. She left, leaving Xiao alone with the six individuals in the room. Xiao sighed as he walked toward the sofa and sat down. Looking at the six people in front of him, he spoke.
"Why don't you all state your names and please stop bowing so much? We are all humans here."
Upon hearing Xiao's words, they looked at each other before nodding and acting more relaxed. The middle-aged man stepped forward and spoke.
"The name's Alex."
He had brown hair, brown eyes, and a handsome face. His cultivation was unfathomable, and he stood tall. However, a hint of unwillingness and defeat lingered in his eyes, which was also present in the eyes of the others.
"Naria," a 16-year-old girl with black hair and eyes said.
"Carmon," a 17-year-old boy with black hair and eyes introduced himself.
"Aleezer," a 19-year-old boy with brown hair and eyes, who bore a resemblance to the middle-aged man, stated his name.
"Momin," a shy 15-year-old girl with blue hair and shining blue eyes introduced herself.
"Sam," a good-looking boy with blue hair and eyes similar to Momin's said his name.
They all looked toward Xiao, who had a pensive expression on his face. Soon, the expression disappeared as he spoke.
"I see... My name is Xiao, and I have some questions."
Xiao was initially surprised that none of them had surnames. It seemed that humans in this world hadn't earned the right to have surnames. However, he shook off his thoughts and asked the burning questions that filled his mind. Most of his inquiries revolved around the basic aspects of this world, surprising the six individuals.
In the end, the middle-aged man took the spotlight and began explaining everything to Xiao, after all this might be a good opportunity to get on the good side of Xiao, who is no doubt the future husband of a powerful phoenix that will rule the lands.
