The King of Black Fog

Hestia floated beside the Phoenix's coffin.

"The girl originally had the ability of Phoenix Rebirth, but it was suppressed by a certain power and didn't take effect before her death. However, the 'wood' is already there, it just needs a little help from me to awaken."

After speaking, she laughed self-deprecatingly: "It matches well with this ember of mine."

"In that case, please intervene to save her," said Turquoise Pool.

Hestia laughed softly and suddenly floated behind Turquoise Pool, pressing against her slender shoulder.

Her flame-like lips gently opened and closed by Turquoise Pool's ear: "I save others, and I hope someone can save me, what do you think?"

Dang~

The Chaos Bell slightly chimed, and Hestia involuntarily retreated.

Turquoise Pool casually turned around, looking at the Twelve Major Gods: "As long as you can revive her, I promise to do everything to save you."

Hestia squinted at the Chaos Bell, saying: "You are ruthless and have been in a high position for years, doing many things against trust; I do not trust you."

"Then let me promise." Li Changzhou stepped forward, with his own unique charm, "As long as you can revive the Phoenix, I will definitely revive you."

Hestia turned her face, locking eyes with Li Changzhou.

After a while, she said: "In your soul, keeping your promises holds enough weight, but I hope you understand my desire for resurrection as an undead."

Her face became pale, saying without room for negotiation:

"This might be my only chance for resurrection, I must see true hope."

"Understood!" Li Qianxia nodded, "Brother, I think the approach of Goddess Hestia is justified, think of a way, see if we can directly help her resurrect, she was the God of Stove and Goddess of Flames in myth, protecting thousands of households, saving her isn't a bad deed."

Hestia suddenly floated to Li Qianxia's side.

"I like you," she smiled, "Young and beautiful, also a virgin, I bless you."

"...Just saying I'm pure is fine." Li Qianxia felt slightly embarrassed.

"Alright, let you revive first." Turquoise Pool nodded, she opened her palm and took out an item, "Thunder Temple, as long as your ashes are placed in the temple, you can be reborn with a body of thunder, also mastering thunder."

"The revival takes too long, and I still prefer a human form."

"I can remold a physical body for you with lotus root," said Yang Qinglan.

"Though the lotus root body is miraculous, it could never achieve a Heavenly Position in a lifetime." Hestia looked at her with slight disdain.

Not disdainful of the lotus root remolding method; it's Yang Qinglan who is not a virgin.

There is indeed a Divine Skill in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang for reconstructing the physical body, "Mediation Creation."

But this skill is incredibly profound and doesn't greatly aid combat power, so Li Changzhou barely cultivated it.

Yang Qinglan practiced it occasionally, but not to the level of reconstructing bodies.

Turquoise Pool, keeping her eyes on Hestia, suddenly said: "It seems like the elder has a plan of her own, why not speak directly?"

Hestia smiled slightly.

She slowly said: "The Phoenix is a pile of wood needing fire, and I'm an ember needing wood, it would have been best to occupy her physical body, but I don't want to occupy others' bodies, so it's best to have an egg, a piece of essence, to mold a new physical body for me."

"That's quite simple." Li Qianxia said instinctively.

Pausing, she reacted: "Hestia, do you have any requirements for the egg and... essence?"

"Correct," Hestia nodded, the corners of her mouth curling up, "I want your brother's essence, and for the egg, preferably yours."

"——" Li Qianxia sharply inhaled, almost scared to death.

The others were also speechless for a moment.

It seems the Phoenix cannot be saved.

"Everyone forget it!" Hestia pointed a finger at her temple, "This isn't Olympus, where siblings can unite, so let's use Turquoise Pool's, though her body is lacking, she's also a virgin."

"Forgot to tell the elder," Turquoise Pool laughed, "I don't even know the Phoenix, her life or death doesn't concern me."

Hestia floated back to the Phoenix's coffin, fingers lightly touching the Phoenix's cheek.

"There's probably still three hours left, if not ignited within three hours, the 'wood' will disappear, I can sense a strong resentment deep in her soul, her death definitely has hidden depths."

Finishing, she looked at Turquoise Pool.

"As someone in a high position, with so many subordinates watching, won't you investigate the Phoenix's death thoroughly?"

Turquoise Pool looked at Li Changzhou.

Li Changzhou pondered; this might be a chance to repay Guanyin.

He looked at Yang Qinglan: "How about the two of us—"

"Talk in the Honey Jar World," Yang Qinglan interrupted him.

"Alright."

The two vanished from the spot.

The Honey Jar World.

Green grass everywhere, Flat Peach petals scattered, the big lake sparkled, essence like mist, Eternal Youth Spring Water nourishing everything.

"You came back?" Afraid to eat Flat Peaches, only daring to drink the sap on the trees, the small radish jumped over.

Before landing, Yang Qinglan waved the Ruyi, knocking her away.

Li Changzhou's heart skipped a beat, was she angry?

[Quickly apologize!] Guanyin urged, not wanting to damage their relationship.

Yang Qinglan's lips, as pink and tender as petals, just opened when Li Changzhou raised his hand: "Wait!"

"...Hmm?"

Li Changzhou lifted his clothing hem, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, hands raised, offering the whip transformed by the Emerald Bee Sword.

"I was wrong, you can hit me."

"..."

Yang Qinglan turned her back, her slender shoulders slightly trembling.

[Bodhisattva, you've made a mess for me!]

[Crying?] Guanyin was puzzled, thinking the 'mess' Li Changzhou mentioned was about suggesting they use their flesh and blood to make a child.
