When Dorothy waved her hand and summoned a phoenix from the sky, the four children looked up with their mouths agape.
Whoosh!
The phoenix was burning with fire. That fire also displayed grace and beauty.
Spring was a little afraid. “Will I be roasted?”
Dorothy said, “Of course not. Look, she is very gentle.”
She reached out and summoned a mass of phoenix flame. She then placed it on her palm and gently fiddled with it. The dancing flame on her palm turned into a small phoenix, skipping around her fingertips like a cute elf.
The kids jumped in excitement, clamoring to play with it.
Dorothy did not let them down. Everyone received a mass of flame that moved around their hands and randomly encircled them without burning them at all.
Alex was amazed. “Your phoenix looks like a living body,” he said to Dorothy.
Dorothy said, “You thought she’s fake? She’s real. Her name is Lecia. I obtained her from the Phoenix Sect. When I first found her, she was almost breathing her last. She has been following me since.”
“The Phoenix Sect?”
Alex remembered it. The Plenilune Sect, where his senior was currently located, was founded by a Stoermer Sect empress with a secret to hide. There was a secret teleportation portal in the Plenilune Sect that could teleport one to the Phoenix Sect.
In that case, it should be the same sect.
At that moment, Dorothy flew the four children onto the back of the fiery phoenix, Lecia, with a wave of her hand. When Alex saw that, he certainly could not fall behind.
Consequently, Lecia warned him by staring at him with a pair of fiery eyes, not allowing him to ride her.
“Oh my! You’re rebelling, aren’t you?! Do you know who I am?” I am her man. If you don’t let me ride you, you won’t be able to enter the gates of the Rockefeller family. You know what? Yukon, where you are located right now, is also mine. Not only did you fail to please me, but you even drove me away. Are you stupid?”
Dorothy helplessly said, “Lecia is still young. Why do you bother to argue with it?”
“Pitiful, my a*s! Right after you were done giving birth to the children, she dragged your weak body and ran away without even feeding the children with a mouthful of milk. Is this called pitiful? It serves her right.”
Alex was angry when he recalled various past incidents.
Dorothy said, “You can’t say that. She was a pure and noble woman before the awakening of her soul. As soon as she woke up, she found herself giving birth to children, something unbearable to any woman. Besides, I have heard her story. Aren’t you sorry for her?”
“How is she pitiful?”
“She is Xienna Stoermer. In her first life, she was framed and pushed into the Pool of Reincarnation. Before that, she was cursed so her soul would not be reincarnated and would keep wandering in the passage of reincarnation. Eventually, the God-slaying Sword cut her into pieces in the passage of reincarnation before she reincarnated.”
Alex frowned. “That’s quite miserable.”
Dorothy went on, “Her soul was incomplete and her memories were cut into multiple parts. She had forgotten many things, but she had a lover. That lover was a fixation that couldn’t be erased in her mind. Even the God-slaying Sword couldn’t sever it. She kept trying to retrieve her memories. For those reasons, she had to be reincarnated seven times, and she had to suffer the anguish of the Flesh Grinder every time.”
Alex asked, “What is a Flesh Grinder?”
