Archwizard K's Journey In The Cultivation World

Case 35: The correct way to raise a phoenix.

Case 35: The correct way to raise a phoenix.

''Mhm...''

Sipping a cup of tea at the table, Kierra gazed out the window, where a beautiful, sunny plain could be seen.

This is her realm, her dimension, so she could change the scenery however she liked. Right then, a gentle breeze came in from outside, blowing her long hair along the way slightly. Kierra turned back to her teacup, where her usual reflection was, and then to the witch hat placed on the table.

It is a peaceful day.

It is truly peaceful these days. Yes.

Kierra nodded to herself as she tried to calm herself down after yesterday's incident and ignored the mess of people on her bed. As expected, alcohol should be consumed reasonably.

While thinking like that, Kierra spent time quietly near the window, basking in the sunlight. After around an hour or so, movements could be felt on the bed.

First, there was a disheveled Yu Chen, who seemed to wake up first. She looked around in confusion for a moment, smelling her thin robe curiously. As she turned to Kierra, the two's eyes met.

''Ah.''

In an instant, the memories of last night surged back into the martial master of Qinling's head like a tsunami, and in the moment, she couldn't help but bury her face into the palms of her hands.

This act also woke up the others, making them sit up and do just the same as Yu Chen.

They hurriedly fixed their clothes and got away from each other. Then, as if possessed, they were simultaneously drawn to Kierra's bright red, soft, squishy, beautifully shaped lips. As they imagine yesterday again, their bodies involuntarily shuddered.

Eventually, it was Yu Chen who broke the ice.

''Um... about last night...'' She said timidly, eyes on Kierra.

''...Get changed quickly.'' Kierra turned back to her tea. ''It is close to noon.''

''...''

''...What?''

Kierra looked at the women nonchalantly. This time, it was Mie Xieren who spoke.

''May I ask... just how far did we go...?'' She asked.

With the main question being delivered, some gulped nervously, waiting for an answer.

''We stopped at just the mouth. Most Likely.'' Kierra replied.

Kierra's robe and the rim of her hat gently fluttered in the air, dancing as she gently closed her eyes. Then, a brilliant crimson pattern grew from the top of her head, trailing down her long hair like a tree root, bringing the tail of it a beautiful orange color.

''Whoa...''

Soon, three majestic pairs of blazing wings sprouted out of Kierra's back, flapping gently in sync. The archwizard opened her eyes, revealing radiant orange pupils that seemed so intense they would burn her opponents off.

''Expansion.''

With a simple sentence from Kierra, the aura extended out at a rapid pace, quickly seizing the whole plain.

''Within this domain, my fire reigns supreme, unyielding from any and all interference,'' Kierra explained. ''With practice, you, too, can achieve this.''

When Kierra looked at Lan, she noticed the little bird's sparkling eyes. It seemed she liked this. Right then, the nine-tailed fox nearby fearlessly jumped on Kierra's shoulder.

''You look so cool, human!'' She cried. ''Maybe I should make wings when I transform... oh, now that I think about it, when will master be able to turn into a human?''

At this, Kierra raised an eyebrow. ''Who said she couldn't right now?''

'''' Ah? ''''

Kierra sighed. These idiots...

Nevertheless, she proceeded to give Lan some pointers about the manifestation of the undying fire before teaching her to transform.

''You have to expand your mana beyond your flesh. That is the fundamental.''

''Expand... my energy...''

The little bird Lan closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Soon, as she directed her mana outward, her body shone a bright light. It quickly grew bigger and bigger, taking the shape of a human.

''...Eh?''

Standing before the two humans and one fox right now is... a little girl. This one seemed no older than a nine-year-old, with pinkish-orange hair and a pair of orange eyes, totally naked. Kierra took out some random clothes and threw them at the confused girl.

Kierra frowned lightly as she watched the panicked girl in silence.

'This...'

Perhaps because Lan is reborn in that woman's egg, the two were eerily similar to each other. Kierra wanted to forget the romance stuff by taking a walk out here, but it seemed the world wouldn't allow her to.

''Master...!!''

''S-Shen...''

Nevertheless, seeing the little girl hugging the fox with a shy smile, Kierra thought this wasn't so bad after all.
