1273 Yuan's Return

Xi Meili landed before the red egg, but she didn't dare to touch it.

"Is this really Feng Yuxiang? How did something like this happen? Is she okay?" she looked at Dong Ye for more answers.

Dong Ye nodded and responded, "She's fine. She's currently in a state of recovery that occurs when a phoenix is on the verge of death— it's their final line of defense."

"While in this state, she will be protected by that shell until she fully recovers. With that being said, this isn't something just any ordinary phoenix can do. Only those with the powerful bloodlines would be able to do something like this— mostly those related to royalty."

"How long will it take for her to recover?" Xi Meili then asked.

"Unfortunately, it's hard to say. Some phoenixes may take months to recover while others take years. And since her bloodline was cursed, it might take longer than usual. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes several decades for her to emerge from that shell."

"No way…" Xi Meili was speechless.

She could've never expected something like this to happen right when Yuan left.

"How should I explain this to Yuan when he returns?" she sighed.

"Just tell him the truth. You're not at fault here— neither of you are, so he won't blame you for it."

"I know, but it still sucks to be the bearer of bad news."

After a moment of silence, Xi Meili asked, "So, what should we do with this egg— her shell?"
