Chereads / Wait, What? I'm a Phoenix? / Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

" How about I turn you over to the royalties then use the blank decree to change the dynasty, would I become a hero by saving the people from these fatuous rulers?", Jin Linkai, Di Xueyan's first crazy friend in this world, laugh at his absurd thoughts while teasing his bestfriend. He is currently languidly sitting in a lover's couch all by himself while propping some cupcakes in his mouth. Eversince Di Xueyan saved him from his impending death, his life totally changed for the better.

" They are your relatives", Di Xueyan's lips twitch slightly while looking at him teasingly. Jin Linkai's face immediately went sour. He immediately swallowed two cupcakes at a time, repulsed by the thoughts of his blood relation with the people who killed his parents.

" They stopped being one when they decided to kill my parents with unfounded accusations", he replied while a murderous look in his eyes resurfaced.

Jin Linkai's mother, Xiao Rin, was a princess, the only full blooded sister of the current emperor while his father, Jin Weili, was a very respected and righteous general who controled half of the military power of the kingdom. Everyone envies their family's power, while his father dreaded it as it earned unfounded suspicion of the emperor, but he can't just give it to just anyone, as their family was entrusted with the citizen's safety since ancient time.

Due to this power, their family was persecuted by the overly suspicious emperor with a heavy accusation of rebellion. Di Xueyan coincidentally fell in front of them when her mother just randomly tossed them after their training, face first, when Jin Linkai was supposed to be beheaded in the forest.

Jin Linkai is the manager of the Sangre Pavillion in Black Tortoise Kingdom as she is naturally a lazy person to begin with.

" When do you want to strike? Are you waiting for the right time?", Jin Linkai changed the topic. Di Xueyan just raise her brows.

" What right time? Who needs a right time? Jin Linkai, remember this, in front of absolute power, you don't wait for a right time, you can strike whenever you want. It is if, you have the power and guts though", sharing her twisted belief with extreme seriousness while looking directly at his eyes.

" I just actually love the feeling of being bullied, to answer your question. Think of this, isn't it exciting if they'll know that the person they are bullying can crush them like an ant? Wouldn't they vomit blood by then? ", she said and then laugh like a villain. Jin Linkai just shakes his head while unconsciously, a smile blossom in his handsome face, he just can't believe that a twisted but cute girl like this still exist in this world.

" Come, stop sitting. I know somewhere fun! ", Jin Linkai stood from his seat and drag the still laughing girl.

" You're a master, not a God. You paid them with their service, not to maltreat them wherever you want", Di Xueyan said seriously,her face is as black as a bottom of a pot, while Jin Linkai has been trying to calm her down.

They were just having fun choosing some random rocks, hoping it'll contain spirit minerals. Spirit minerals is very scarce in the continent. The big clans, instead of directly opening the rocks which has just 10 out of 100 probability, opened a gambling stone house to atleast sell the empty stones.

It is not that the Sangre Pavilion is lacking with spirit minerals, as their branches and businesses are all over the continent is flourishing, the two friends just want to compete and have fun.

Jin Linkai was very smug as he discovered that the naturally genius and all knowing, almighty Di Xueyan, sucks at finding spirit minerals. Jin Linkai already found 3 light green mineral, but she still founds nothing, which made him very spirity while made his friend sulking.

The spirit mineral is green in color in their kingdom. The darker the mineral, the powerful it is. It looks like an emerald in earth, just in different shades. It is very useful for cultivation and in making portals.

Di Xueyan gave up. This is one of the times when she thinks she is very worthless. If the people who knew her is to find out her thoughts, they will surely vomit blood, ' What do you think of us then?'.

' How unfair! I don't have some godly cheats just like those female leads!', she sulks in her mind, lamenting how she can't be as good as them.

" Come, let's just get out of here! Hmp!", she pouted while glaring at the laughing masked man in her side. Jin Linkai has to use a mask while going out to prevent the people, specially the royal family, to find out that he is still alive.

Di Xueyan can't help but to feel sadden for her poor friend everytime she saw that mask. She vowed to herself that someday, he wouldn't need to wear that wretched thing anymore.

As they were about to go back to their head quarter, they saw a fat young master beating a child no less than 10 years old, almost to the verge of its death.

The people around just continued what they are doing, like this is just a common occurrence. Di Xueyan's blood can't help but to boil. Thinking that if this happens in earth, that pig would've been very popular in the internet, facing the critisms and bashings of the netizens.

The cries of the child is like nails in her heart. Yes, she's cruel but she will never lay a hand to innocent children such as the child in front of them.

The pig, aka young master, is about to beat the poor child with a whip again when suddenly, his whip disintegrated into ashes, making everyone around them tongue tied.
