Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith

Chapter-5

However, Bai Rou Li's father was known to be the most powerful cultivator of the Southern Yue country. Reasonably, no matter how untalented she was, she shouldn't be a complete waste.

Could there some sort of problem ?

Numerous possibilities flashed through Huang Yue Li's mind immediately. These possibilities were all related to curing talentless people. Unfortunately, she felt that all these would not have any effect.

Just as she was frustrating over this problem, she heard a loud thunderous clap resounding in her ear!

Following that, Huang Yue Li felt herself lose consciousness. When she came to, she found herself in a simple adorned room. Right in front of her, was a raging inferno.

At the centre of the inferno, was an gigantic silhouette.

She squinted her eyes, trying to discern what that was. Huang Yue Li's eyes popped out as soon as she recognised it—-it was like those portrayed in the legends! It was a mythical phoenix!

As its shimmering golden wings unfolded, it seemed as if they could rip apart space itself. As it lightly waved it's wings, the wind blew over like a raging tide, a pressure borne down it's surroundings, making it hard to breath.

Raising its head, the phoenix let out a clear and melodious cry. Sweet and graceful it sounded, yet brimming with power as it emanated a domineering aura.

Suddenly, the flames started to whirl about furiously as the golden silhouette of the phoenix gradually shrunk in size. Amidst the golden light, it morphed into the shape of a young man clothed in a long golden robe.

He had a handsome yet devilish looking face, complemented with a complexion as fair as white jade. That pair of peach blossom eyes perfectly matched that defined nose and seductive thin lips. In regards to his five facial features, there was no flaw you could pick on.

That long robe he wore was only casually draped across his body, fully revealing his upper torso. This gave off an air of languidness.

Because Huang Yue Li had witness the entire spectacle, she knew that this loosely robed male was the incarnation of that Phoenix. With peerless strength, he was definitely not the man he portrayed himself to be; a harmless but good looking man.

Looking at Huang Yue Li, a flash of discontent flashed across his eyes.

"Girl, what are not you showing the least bit of admiration towards this deity?"

"Hah?" This statement left Huang Yue Li at a loss.

The man went on: "As a revered deity, and with such striking elegance, dashing and charismatic, am I not the very personification of beauty itself to you?"

Huang Yue Li was left speechless. It was only after much thought and time did she finally find some words as she spat out: "I have met narcissists, but I have never met someone who is shameless to such a degree......"

The man who had just morphed from a phoenix, although indeed exceptionally handsome and dashing, but if his good looks was to be said to be the very personification of beauty, that would be an overstatement.

In her previous life, within the Emperor's city, were the Ten Great Gods. Each and every one of them possessed outworldly looks and charm. As for Mu Cheng Ying, he was the undisputed first rank.

Expression changing, the male's eye narrowed.

"Girl, you dare disrespect this deity? Do you not know that if this deity wants to kill you, it would be as simple as squishing an......."

".....ant....."

The male was originally overbearing and arrogant. But as he was in the middle of his sentence, he suddenly came to a pause. Even his expression had changed greatly.

Flabbergasted, Huang Yue Li asked: "Hey, what happened to you?"

Under the dumbstruck gaze of Huang Yue Li's, the phoenix male rapidly transformed. Bit by bit, he shrunk in size; even his facial features underwent great change.

Finally, he became a young a boy who was around three heads tall. You could still see the evilness within his face, but those big, round and watery eyes, with those marshmallowy cheeks clearly stated: "Body – delicate, form – soft and strength – weak! Fresh, cute, soft skin!"

The young boy looked down at his little hands, and panickedly cried out: "Fu*k! I had clearly absorbed Profound Qi for entire day. How could it only last for such a short time before I changed back!"

Hearing those words, Huang Yue Li narrowed her eyes. Squatting next to the young boy, she raised her eyebrows and said: "Good. In the end, you are just a small brat playing tricks. Tell me, why after cultivating an entire day, I am not even able to sense the slightest bit of Profound Qi!"  

With his stubby legs, he kicked around. Pouting his bun-like face, he struggled desperately.

"Let me down! I said LET ME DOWN! Stinking girl! Country bumpkin! I'm warning you, if you don't release me now and kneel down to beg for forgiveness, I will make you regret it!"

Chuckling, Huang Yue Li replied: "Oh, your age is small, but your temper isn't. A naughty child is itching for a lecture. Watch out or I'll smack your butt!"

On the young boy's adorable face, was an expression of apprehension. This caused him to use more effort in his struggle to escape. Shouting out: "Stinking girl! Just you wait! You also saw it, this little lord's true form was that formidable and majestic phoenix. Currently, it's because I don't possess enough Profound Qi resulting in my temporary small form. Wait until this little one has recovered. By then, I only need one finger to squash you!"

"So amazing?"

Lips curling upwards, Huang Yue Li loosened her grip. This action nearly caused the plump, round body of the boy to fall and land straight on his bottom.

The cute boy hurriedly grabbed onto her arm, not daring to let go. His entire body trembled non-stop, yet he still continued roaring: "You want to kill this little lord! Just you wait!"

Huang Yue Li replied: "Just then, were you not the one who kept asking me to let you go? So why don't you want me to let go now?"

The boy could only give her a deathly glare.

Continuing, Huang Yue Li said: "Enough, don't act anymore. I already saw through it, that phoenix image wasn't yours, was it?"

"Of course that was me!"

"The phoenix is an ancient mythological beast, with matchless power. If you were really that matured phoenix, even if you were gravely injured, you would still be able to make me kneel and cough out blood from your gaze alone. Is there a need for such threats? I think that this is probably a memory of a past senior that you took to act like that, right?"

The cute boy: "......."

The two people had a standoff for quite sometime, before the boy finally admitted his defeat.

"Okay........fine........stinking girl. Looks like you still possess some brains......even though...........even though that image wasn't mine, it was still my older brother's!"

Flabbergasted, Huang Yue Li asked: "That was your older brother? That's not possible right? Anyone could see that was an expert, while you...........children should just be honest. Otherwise, don't blame this older sister when she gives a proper lesson."

"I didn't lie!" Infuriated, the child flared up as he spilled everything out. "Even though my age is young, I am still a authentic, pure-blooded phoenix! When I grow up, I will be as dashing and as awesome as my older brother!"

Still unconvinced, Huang Yue Lie continued her questioning: "You spirit is this weak. No matter how you look at it, you do not seem to be an ancient mythological beast?"

Sincerely and grievingly stated: "I really am a phoenix. I am just still a child. When I was just born, there was a great battle. Bringing me with him, brother ran far away, far away. Later, we had met great danger. In order to protect me, brother sealed my soul in the Sky Phoenix Ring........"

"Hold up, hold up. In other words, we are currently inside the Sky Phoenix Ring??"

(TL: Hold up, hold up......she's a transformer. Sorry, I had to do that reference. For those understood that, kudos to you. For those you didn't, don't worry about it. You probably won't find it interesting anyway.)

Huang Yue Li couldn't help but cry out in shock.

In her previous life, ever since she had found the Sky Phoenix Ring in an ancient remnant, she had used and tried all sorts of heavenly treasures and methods to make it recognise her as its master. Yet now, without rhyme or reason, it was activated?

Puffing out his chest, the cute boy proclaimed: "Humph! Humph! That's right! The Sky Phoenix Ring isn't some ordinary God Relic. Blood alone isn't enough for it to recognise a master, you must separate a part of your soul and let it merge with ring for it to work. Your luck isn't bad. When you detonated your soul, you allowed yourself to be recognised as its master!"
