The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 21: Xiang Sun's Life-screen

In a quiet and damp basement, Xiang Sun pecked himself in front of a large ornate wooden mirror. At first glance the mirror was worn out, but the reflection it cast was truly extraordinary.

If anyone stated that the mirror of the sleeping princess magician was just a fantasy, then the mirror before Xiang Sun was the original mirror. He spoke in front of the sneer, as if talking to someone else. The look of his sharp and cunning eyes emanated so terrifyingly. The shadow in the old mirror followed him, mimicking all his movements.

He grabbed an old book whose paper was brown from a square wooden box. Xiang Sun smiled obliquely, rethinking some of the things he had encountered lately.

That book was a sacred book containing the fate predictions of the Feng Clan from era to age. He was hundreds of years old, but due to the good care of the previous owner, the book was kept pure. The issue is an article about the history and fate of the Feng surnamed family in Cheng City.

Xiang Sun got the book by accident. Seven years ago, he accidentally got lost to the warehouse of the Feng Residence while visiting Feng Ling. He found the old book tucked away in a dust-filled chest. Interested, Xiang Sun opened the first page.

According to him, the initial page was very interesting because it contained the early history of the founding of the Feng Clan. It started hundreds of years ago. There was also data on who were the enemies of the Feng Clan and what clans had been successfully annihilated.

The more in the middle, the more incomprehensible the contents of the book. Xiang Sun was about to keep it back, but somehow he brought it back home unconsciously.

On the full moon of the fifth moon five years ago, Xiang Sun suddenly fell unconscious in his home. He dreams of meeting someone who looks like him, and then says things that he does not understand. The duplicates entered his body and Xiang Sun realized when he was surrounded by many servants who tried to wake him up.

From then on, he had miraculously understood the contents of the Feng Clan book that he had not previously understood. There was another kind of force following him the entire time.

It had an impact on Xiang Sun's changing behavior and attitude, especially towards the Feng Family. His relationship with Feng Ling had also started to be untrue from then on.

The duplicates that were within him were like a soul that sometimes appeared unconsciously. Xiang Sun often did something he was unaware of, then forgot everything.

Every full moon is round, he's like a craze. His whole body was burning hot. He could only extinguish it by channeling his naps. Within a few years, all the servants in his house resigned, then disappeared without a trace.

From the books of the Feng Clan, there was a prophecy that said that one day, the Feng Family that had survived for a long time in Cheng City would be rewarded. The gift is in the form of wealth and glory throughout life, which can be passed down through generations.

But what Xiang Sun really cared about was another prophecy, that the Feng Family would have a holy-blooded descendant, which was dripped directly from the goddess in the sky.

At first Xiang Sun did not believe it and laughed at this ridiculous prophecy. According to him, there was a goddess in the sky. The Feng Clan Ancestor was far too far-fetched. The world believes in technology and wealth. There was no holy blood or anything.

However, then Xiang Sun was reunited with his duplicate in the dream. He said that Xiang Sun should believe this, because in his body also flowed blood that was different in nature to the holy blood of the Feng Clan.

Xiang Sun had to obtain the holy blood, purify it and use it to perfect the hidden power within his body.

The duplicate also said that if Xiang Sun did not get it, then he would turn into an uncontrollable human. It was evident when Xiang Sun acted insane and killed his own brother.

"Feng Ling, do you really not know the reason why I kept you?" xiang Sun said in front of the mirror. Then he laughed alone.

Through the clues of his other self in the dream, Xiang Sun finally knew that the holy blood of the Feng Clan was dripping onto Feng Ling's body. Xiang Sun was increasingly unable to let go. His great and selfish desire made him a monster in Feng Ling's eyes.

He himself found it strange why Feng Ling had always forgotten the desire to part with him every time she finished a fight. Perhaps, it was due to the effects of the presence of another 'himself.

Xiang Sun bought many ancient objects that he said had magical auras, placing them in the basement of his magnificent residence. All those things he could based on the instructions from the Feng Clan books relating to the refining process of one's soul.

In addition to history and divination, the book turns out to have a section that discusses the absurd rituals that may only exist in television dramas.

"Do I have to kill him now?" xiang Sun asked at his reflection in the mirror.

The shadow in the mirror was moving on its own, as if he was someone else. If anyone saw it, it would probably think it was a mirror filled with demons.

"No. The woman was still too small," Xiang Sun answered his own question.

Later on, Xiang Sun only found out that Feng Zheng's first granddaughter was a girl. He never knew that Feng Zheng had a favorite grandson who was educated abroad and ran his business there.

When he first met Feng Shang, Xiang Sun felt that the woman looked different. Then, his duplicates told him that Feng Shang had the same holy blood as Feng Ling.

He so thought, if the two Feng Clan women who had holy blood were purified, what amount of perfection would he obtain?

Therefore, Xiang Sun intended to chase after Feng Shang and obtain him. Once he could, he would purify it along with Feng Ling according to the instructions in the book.

Incidentally, Feng Shang made Feng Zheng cancel the cooperation contract with his company. Xiang Sun so got a stronger reason why he should target this woman. He planned to make use of them first, then use their holy blood to perfect themselves.

If you think about it, it's like a fairy tale. But Xiang Sun's heart was already too trusting in his duplicate words hiding in the dream. His obsession turned into a black ink that continuously swallowed the purity of his human soul.

Still staring at the mirror, Xiang Sun then said with a grin, "I'll get you both!"
