Seeing that she wouldn’t come over, the man raised his well-defined slender fingers and lightly pressed his brow, stating calmly, “This is my biggest secret, known to only a very few in the world. 1 hail from the Heavenly Realm Continent, with the original name of Feng Shitian. You… might have heard of me.”

Just as Gu Qingluan had suspected that he wasn’t from the Cloud Plains Continent, Feng Tianlan had long harbored doubts about Gu Qingluan’s origin.

Now, the two of them were being completely open with each other.

However, upon learning each other’s true identities, Gu Qingluan was profoundly shocked.

“You’re Feng Shitian? But haven’t you already died?”

Of course, she had heard of Feng Shitian; his name was renowned far and wide.

Feng Shitian was the most outstanding phoenix of the Phoenix Clan, achieving the realm of God Emperor at a young age.

Gu Qingluan, too, had been hailed as a genius since her childhood and possessed exceptional talent. However, compared to Feng Shitian, who had the bloodline of the phoenix, she fell somewhat short.

Of course, Gu Qingluan would never admit to it.

During her lifetime, when she was still alive, Feng Shitian was already a thousand years old.

She believed that if she lived to be a thousand years old, she could also reach the realm of God Emperor, and then it would be anyone’s guess who was stronger.

However, she never had the chance to reach that level. She heard news of Feng Shitian’s fall before she could achieve that level of cultivation.

She had felt it was a pity.

As a result, she didn’t live much longer herself, ultimately meeting her demise at the hands of her half-sister.

Never did she imagine that neither of them had truly died, and they both happened to appear on the Cloud Plains Continent and meet!

The most wonderful of fates in the world often unfolded in such a manner.

Feng Shitian curved his lips slightly. “It seems you know quite a bit about me.”

“The news of your fall shook the Heavenly Realm Continent. It would be hard not to know.”

Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but ask, “So, you possessed Feng Tianlan’s body after death?”

Feng Shitian shook his head. “As you should know, a phoenix is an immortal bird. When 1 underwent Nirvana, 1 was ambushed and ended up in the Cloud Plains Continent. Due to insufficient divine power at the time, 1 took on the form of a child. Coincidentally, I landed in the Holy Heaven Dynasty’s harem and was taken in as a son by someone.”

Gu Qingluan had initially thought that, like herself, he had taken over someone else’s body. She hadn’t expected that he had come over entirely.

“Last time at the black market, when your old ailment resurfaced, was it because of the lingering issue from being ambushed?”

Feng Shitian nodded.

Suddenly taking in such a large piece of information, Gu Qingluan found it a bit hard to digest.

She remained silent for a while, her gaze complex as she looked at him. “Why are you telling me all this?”

This was his most significant secret.

Wasn’t he afraid that by telling her, she might pose a threat to him?

Feng Shitian looked at her and slowly smiled, “You are the woman I have chosen. I should tell you.”

His purple eyes were deep as a starry sea, sparkling with brilliant light.

Gu Qingluan’s heart uncontrollably raced. She lowered her eyelids and retorted, “You… choosing me means nothing! I haven’t agreed to anything!”

“Well, 1’11 wait until you do.”

His expression was determined.

Seeing his confidence, Gu Qingluan felt a sense of annoyance and couldn’t help but strike back. “Well, I advise you not to have too much hope. Even if you tell me your identity, it doesn’t mean I’ll be with you.”

She had initially thought he was part of the royal family of the Holy Heaven Dynasty, but she hadn’t expected him to be a phoenix!

Although on the Heavenly Realmcontinent, relationships between humans and beasts were not uncommon, Gu Qingluan had often heard legends about Feng Shitian.

She had never imagined that there would be more to their connection than just a competition.

Feng Shitian squinted his purple, phoenix-like eyes and suggested with a smirk, “How about we make a bet?”

“What kind of bet?” Gu Qingluan asked.

“If you happen to fall in love with me, then you’ll marry me?”

“What kind of bet is that? No way!”

He raised an eyebrow. “Are you afraid of losing?”

Gu Qingluan lifted her lips in a cold smile, “Afraid of what? But what’s in it for me in this bet?”
