Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 593 The Elder Doesn't Want to Take Care of the Child 35

Two dazzling figures, one purple and one green, streaked across the sky like shooting stars, and in the blink of an eye, they rapidly descended upon the magnificent royal palace.

Xi Yan held Zhao Zhao's hand tightly and hurried towards Ye's room.

"Has something happened to Ye?"

"Yes, Ye has learned some immature magic from somewhere, and he has been practicing Nirvana Magic these past few days when we weren't paying attention."

Zhao Zhao's heart sank, but Xi Yan's voice was still in her ear: "Before he fainted, he kept asking to see you, so I had no choice but to bring you to the palace."

As they walked a few steps toward Ye's room, their hearts raced involuntarily.

The oppressive and quiet room was filled with people. Through the gaps between their bodies, Zhao Zhao could see the charred phoenix lying on the bed.

Its once bright and beautiful feathers were no longer shiny, but lay disheveled on its body, and some exposed parts were even bleeding.

However, compared to internal injuries, visible injuries are actually the least serious.

Yue leaned casually against a pillar, propping herself up with her legs, glancing occasionally at Ye and Bai Yu on the bed, when suddenly she froze.

He sensed a familiar presence behind him, and upon turning around in surprise to see who it was, he immediately grinned and rushed to Zhao Zhao's side.

"Zhaozhao, you're finally back in the palace! It's been so long..."

The anxious boy didn't look at him; his gaze went straight past him to Ye on the bed.

Yue: ......

His outstretched hand fell into the air without a response. He turned his head away with a wronged expression, silently following Zhao Zhao's movements with his eyes.

"Second Elder, how is Phoenix Lord Ye?" Zhao Zhao anxiously walked to the bedside and asked Bai Yu, who was treating Ye, in a low voice.

Yu Guang glanced at Ye with concern.

Nirvana... or rather, Nirvana performed using immature magic...

Zhao Zhao, who had just received the news from Xi Yan, was still shaking uncontrollably.

"This is not good. Ye's physical injuries are too severe." Even a well-prepared Phoenix Rebirth Technique has a high probability of death, let alone Ye's reckless actions this time.

Bai Yu frowned deeply: "Now that things have come to this, Ye's Nirvana, which is halfway through, must continue no matter what, otherwise his talent and ability will be wasted."

"We cannot achieve rebirth now!"

Xi Yan immediately objected: "Ye's current physical condition, remaining strength, and immature mind are all insufficient to support his successful rebirth! Bai Yu, this decision is too risky!"

"But if the Nirvana process isn't completed, let alone preserving Ye's talent and strength, it will be difficult for him to even wake up!"

"If we take a gamble, Ye might succeed; if we don't, we'll have nothing!"

Bai Yu shouted hoarsely, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn.

Xi Yan is the Grand Elder; how could he dare to gamble on such a momentous decision?

"Given Ye's current situation, there's almost no chance of him succeeding in his rebirth!"

Of all the phoenixes present, only he had experienced rebirth, and he said that this statement was the most convincing.

The two elders continued arguing beside her. Zhao Zhao squatted in front of the bed, scanning the broken body inch by inch, her emerald green eyes filled with sorrow.

Despair welled up inside me.

[Sigh, you were almost done with your mission, and then this impulsive kid pulls this stunt again, tsk.] The system's words were full of disdain.

“He’s still young, it’s normal for him to be immature in his behavior and actions… It’s my fault for not taking good care of him…” Zhao Zhao felt extremely sad that the child she had raised for nearly a hundred years had turned out like this.

Listening to his words of protecting Ye and blaming himself, 002 remained silent.

Since you're going to leave this world anyway, you might as well save him.

From the system's perspective, completing the task is a must, and Zhaozhao's departure from this world is inevitable.

So when he said that, his tone remained completely unchanged.

“Okay.” Zhao Zhao replied without any hesitation.

[Your life, which originally had three months left, will end at the moment you saved Ye.]

"it is good."

Death can even become a habit in one's subconscious, so there's nothing to regret.

The only consolation is that he was able to exchange three boring months of his life for Ye's rebirth, which made him even stronger afterward.

[At the site where the young dragon lord perished two hundred years ago, there remains a flame that has burned for two centuries without ever going out.]

The voice in her mind was ethereal and distant, and Zhao Zhao's pupils dilated slightly: "What... is it something from the dragon race again?"

That was the Ancestral Dragon's Life Flame. By lending it to Ye as his Nirvana Flame, even a fool could successfully undergo Nirvana.

"really?"

Zhao Zhao slowly stood up.

The system won't malfunction, you can rest assured!

So, in the real world, Zhao Zhao turned to look at Xi Yan and then at Bai Yu: "There is a flame that can help Ye achieve rebirth."

A cold, clear voice rang out amidst the heated argument, and Xi Yan's expression froze.

"What kind of fire?" He asked seriously, his mind racing through all the powerful spiritual fires: "The Southern Netherworld Fire?"

He immediately rejected the idea as soon as he said it: "No, this kind of flame is not enough to support Lord Ye Feng's Nirvana."

The Phoenix Nirvana process is more likely to succeed with the help of other spiritual fires from the outside world, but now even the rarest and most powerful Southern Netherworld Fire is of no use to Ye.

"It is the life-giving fire of the Ancestral Dragon."

The scene fell silent. Bai Yu looked blank for a moment, but her eyes lit up when she remembered what it was.

"Yes! This flame can definitely save Ye!!!" She slapped her forehead, regretting that she had almost overlooked this important thing.

Yue, who had been quiet just moments before, suddenly pushed through the crowd and rushed to Zhao Zhao's side.

"What did you say?!"

Long-forgotten, painful memories kept replaying in her mind. Yue lowered her head, holding Zhao Zhao's shoulders, laughing and crying at the same time.

He stared intently at that face, his voice hoarse and low: "Zhaozhao, have you remembered something?" A sad and painful smile was forced onto her tear-streaked face.

Zhao Zhao's gaze fell on his face, and she paused slightly, "No... Should I remember anything?"

Looking into Shang Yue's sorrowful eyes, Zhao Zhao felt as if she were being sucked into a vortex within them.

For a moment, Xi Yan was dazed, but then he grabbed his arm and said seriously, "I remember now. Two hundred years ago, the Dragon Clan gave birth to a rare little ancestral dragon, and not long after, he died in the Endless Cave where the Demon Dragon was once imprisoned."

After the Ancestral Dragon dies, it leaves behind a life flame, but Xi Yan is unsure: "I heard that the little Ancestral Dragon was only three years old when it died. How could its body still generate a life flame after death when it was so young?"

Bai Yu also raised a question: "Even if it can generate life fire, will the life fire still be there after two hundred years?"

[Still there.]

Zhao Zhao said, "I can go to the Endless Cave to find the Life Flame."

Yue's expression froze, and Xi Yan refused: "I'll go, after all, this is the Dragon Clan's territory." What they wanted to take was the life fire generated after the Little Ancestral Dragon's death.

Xi Yan was unsure of the feasibility and danger of this trip, and would certainly not allow Zhao Zhao to take the risk.

"No one is allowed to go!!!"

To everyone's surprise, it was Yue, who was usually quiet and gentle, who was the first to voice strong opposition.

Her delicate, fair face was streaked with tears, and her deep gaze was fixed on the people around her: "Ye doesn't deserve it, what makes him worthy!"

Xi Yan frowned slightly. He had just sensed that Yue's mood was off: "Phoenix Princess Yue, what's wrong?"

Yue ignored him, her gaze questioning Zhao Zhao: "I've told you countless times to go to the Dragon Clan, but you refused. Now, for Ye's sake, you're willing...?"

Facing Zhao Zhao's clear and questioning eyes, he paused and closed his eyes.

Since waking up fifty years later, he had treated Zhao Zhao with sincerity and never even raised his voice at her. However, at this moment, the emotions that had been building up in his heart could no longer be contained.

"Zhaozhao! You're willing to go to the Dragon Clan for Ye, fine, but why should you give him the Ancestral Dragon's Life Flame?!"

He doesn't deserve it!!!

His disgust for Ye had reached its peak.
