Chapter 2223  Xiao Huaʼs Awakening

As Xiao Huaʼs cultivation rose, her strikes became heavier and more powerful, and she even started using martial techniques.

”Young Master, it looks like she really wants to kill you,” Feng Yuxiang remarked as she watched from inside his Dantian, feeling a bit dazed, as she couldʼve never imagined Xiao Hua attacking Yuan so fiercely.

”Her memories regressed back to the Primordial Era—to a time when we didnʼt have the best relationship. Back then, she would always try to kill me when she had the chance,” Yuan sighed with a bitter smile. ”I donʼt blame her, though. I did kill her mother, after all.”

”What did you do to calm her?” Lan Yingying asked.

”If you do it again, it might calm her again.”

”I didnʼt do anything special. Whenever she tried to kill me, I would fight back and beat her up quite badly. It took some time and a lot of beating, but eventually, she calmed down,” Yuan said as he recalled his past.

”...”

Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying were left speechless by his words.

”If youʼre going to ask me if I am going to repeat the same process, Iʼll have to decline. I was a very different person back then.”

”So what are you going to do? Continue to let her try to kill you until she regains her memories? Who knows when that will happen.” Feng Yuxiang said.

”If youʼre unwilling to fight her, Iʼll gladly do it in your place,” she said with a faint smile. ”Iʼve always wanted to face her seriously. Besides, as fellow servants under the same master, itʼs our duty to clean up each otherʼs messes.”

Of course, Feng Yuxiang didnʼt mean it in a malicious way. Due to their competitive relationship, it was only natural for her to want to fight Xiao Hua.

Sensing Feng Yuxiangʼs desire to fight, Yuan seriously pondered letting her fight Xiao Hua.

”Donʼt worry, I wonʼt harm her too much,” she assured him.

”Alright.” Yuan eventually agreed. He wanted to see if fighting Feng Yuxiang might help Xiao Hua regain her memories faster.

Right as Xiao Hua went for another strike, Feng Yuxiang immediately emerged from his Dantian to block it.

”Who the hell are you?” Xiao Hua exclaimed as she distanced herself from them.

”I am the Young Masterʼs number one servant,” she proudly declared.

”Attacking your own master is a grave sin for a servant, even if you have lost your memories.”

”Servant? What the hell are you talking about? Thereʼs no way in hell Iʼd serve the bastard who killed my mother!” Xiao Hua roared.

Normally, servants were incapable of attacking their masters. However, Yuan didnʼt view Xiao Hua or her strikes as a threat. In his eyes, she was just having a harmless tantrum, so no penalty was imposed on her.

Feng Yuxiang shrugged, ”Anyway, if you insist on continuing to attack the Young Master, I will have to put an end to it.”

”You? Stop me? Iʼd like to see you try!” Xiao Hua shouted as she lunged at Feng Yuxiang.

By now, Xiao Huaʼs cultivation had reached the peak of Divine Grandmaster. Meanwhile, Feng Yuxiang was at the peak of True Immortal.

Yet, despite the disparity between their cultivation, Xiao Hua went on the offensive, striking without a care, almost as if the difference didnʼt exist.

If Feng Yuxiang had been an ordinary cultivator, Xiao Hua might have been able to overcome their difference and defeat her. However, Feng Yuxiang was no ordinary cultivator but a Primordial Phoenix with the Immortal Monarchʼs seal.

Feng Yuxiang dodged most of Xiao Huaʼs strikes but would occasionally strike back with her flames, barely putting any power into it, almost as if she was toying with Xiao Hua.

”This power… a phoenix?” Xiao Hua narrowed her eyes after recognizing Feng Yuxiangʼs flames.

Though she couldnʼt explain why, Xiao Hua felt an inexplicable irritation toward Feng Yuxiangʼs very presence, despite having no memories of her.

”A phoenix serving a human? Thatʼs unheard of,” Xiao Hua muttered to herself, disbelief flashing in her eyes.

”Whatʼs wrong, you little brat? Is this all youʼve got? You wonʼt be able to defeat me at this rate, much less defeat the Young Master,” Feng Yuxiang continued to mock Xiao Hua as they fought, which only irritated her even further.

”Shut up, you damn pigeon! Youʼre annoying as hell!” Xiao Hua shouted as her cultivation soared past the Divine Realm and entered the Immortal Realm, becoming a Bronze Immortal.

Yuan raised an eyebrow when he heard Xiao Hua call Feng Yuxiang a ”pigeon”—a remark that sounded exactly like something the present Xiao Hua would say.

ʼIs fighting Feng Feng triggering her memories subconsciously?ʼ Yuan wondered. ʼThis is working even better than I expected…ʼ

Feng Yuxiang also noticed this and began to tease Xiao Hua even more.

In response, Xiao Huaʼs attacks grew more fierce, and her killing intent soared.

As of this moment, Xiao Huaʼs urge to kill Feng Yuxiang has surpassed her desire to kill Yuan.

Sometime later, Xiao Huaʼs cultivation reached True Immortal. However, it wasnʼt just her cultivation that improved. Her fighting style and movement have undergone drastic changes since they began, forcing Feng Yuxiang to fight more seriously.

”Hahaha! This is more like it! I have always wanted to fight you seriously, but never got the chance!” Feng Yuxiang laughed excitedly as she started using her phoenix power more seriously, even transforming.

After several thousand more exchanges, Xiao Huaʼs aura suddenly erupted, her cultivation surging past the Immortal Realm and stepping into God Ascension. A flood of Celestial Qi burst from her body, shaking the air around them.

”Seriously?!” Feng Yuxiang cried out, eyes wide with disbelief. She had never imagined Xiao Huaʼs cultivation would break beyond the True Immortal realm.

Upon reaching the first level of God Ascension, Xiao Huaʼs strength soared to unimaginable heights, and she began driving Feng Yuxiang back with overwhelming force. Yet her aura showed no sign of stabilizing, and a few minutes later, her cultivation surged again, breaking through to the second level.

”Second level God Ascension?! Thatʼs cheating!” Feng Yuxiang exclaimed.
