Chapter 25
Qin Yi massaged her temples and frowned, but her features and calm demeanor made her look extremely picturesque. “So you came from a different world?”
The ice phoenix rocked its egg body, which was definitely considered a reply.
Qin Yi was able to absorb and accept the reality quickly. Her rebirth itself was already a miraculous matter, so an egg capable of traversing through realms was not difficult to accept.
Furthermore, Qin Yi was thankful towards the egg. After all, the Origin Space had aided her greatly, and her rebirth was most probably related to this egg.
Thinking about this, her attitude toward the ice phoenix turned for the better. Qin Yi was a cold and cruel person, but not someone that did not know how to repay a kindness. She would treat those that treated her well in kind.
Qin Yi rubbed the glossy egg and asked, “How do we hatch you?”
“As long as you and I officially form the contract. Drop your blood on the egg, and I will be able to come out. This way, you will truly become my master.”
Qin Yi did not hesitate as she conjured an ice needle and pricked her own finger to drop a bead of blood on the egg.
In a split second, rays of light radiated in the entire Origin Space. Qin Yi vaguely noticed a figure with icy blue hair.
An archaic voice came out, “Thy, member of the Phoenix race, forms a contract with thou. We shall never split, be it life or death.”

When Qin Yi woke from her stupor, she noticed that the eggshell was covered with cracks and a hairy little head had popped up.

Following that, a fat little icy blue bird jumped out. It stared at Qin Yi with eyes that were the size of black beans and then proceeded to break the eggshell with its beak and eat the pieces up.
After eating up all the eggshells, the little fellow gave a satisfied smile with its potbelly.
Qin Yi picked up the fat little bird and frowned. “Are you really an ancient phoenix, or are you, in fact, just a bird?”
2
Upon hearing this, the ice phoenix exploded. It twisted its little body and chirped ‘ji ji ji ji’ incessantly.

“You stupid woman, this king is a phoenix. The one and only ancient mythological phoenix, not some bird. It is impossible to place those lower lifeforms in the same sentence as this king.”
Qin Yi smirked and stared at the fat little bird in her hands from head to tail earnestly. Aside from its beautiful icy blue feather, she could not see any signs of it being a phoenix.
“Fine, you’re indeed not a bird. Rather than a bird, you look like a chicken.” A very fat chicken.

The supposed phoenix started jumping. “Ji ji ji ji.” ‘Your father, I am not a chicken or a bird. Your father is an ancient mythological beast, a phoenix, a phoenix!’
To be using the term ‘your father’, it must be very infuriated.
Seeing that it was jumping up and down angrily, Qin Yi decided not to engage in the topic any further.
Once it was resolved, Qin Yi felt that her stomach was expressing hunger.
She shifted her focus into the store and took out a quick-fix meal.
The soft and fragrant rice mixed with fresh, delicious pork strips stir-fried with yuxiang and simmer-fried pork spare ribs was to die for.

Qin Yi ate heartily, and despite being fast, she was extremely graceful.
When the ice phoenix took a whiff of the food, its black bean eyes immediately beamed with brilliance as it started to salivate.
‘It looks really good to eat.’
Qin Yi also noticed the ice phoenix’s overly passionate eyes.
She gnawed on a rib and gently said, “Want to eat?”
The ice phoenix immediately nodded its head. ‘Yes, yes, I want to.’
“I can give you some, but I do not rear trash. What can you do?”
1
The ice phoenix’s feathers puffed up straight… It got even fatter.
2
“This king is an ancient mythological beast. One ice needle of mine is enough to kill half of the monsters outside.”
Qin Yi continued to suck on the bone and gave a smile that did not look like a smile. “Really?”
