Chapter 10 Excruciation in the Fairy Prison
Celestial people live on the land even higher above the Empyrean, which could not be regarded as one of the Six Lands. The legend had it that ancestors of Celestial people were the descendants of the ancient creature-Phoenix, they had the long lost divinity gene.
In this way, Celestial people were unimaginably powerful, who could burn sky and earth into ashes. While the blood of a phoenix girl could bring everything back to life.
The Celestial Emperor conducted his reproductive practice for hundreds of years and has Phoenix this only daughter. So Phoenix was definitely the crown princess and the future Celestial Empress.
This was the ultimate reason that Jun Mohan couldn't and dare not punish Phoenix.
Jun Mohan would be away for a period of time and Snow was plotting another plan.
...
A strong smell of blood permeated the air.
Wailing, crying and cursing reverberate around the whole Fairy prison, which stung visitors'ears with the bitterness of thousands of years.
After Phoenix came to herself, she found out that she was still tied to the ice pillar. Her white dress was soaked to red by her blood. Tears on her face had already dried up. She moved her lips, thinking, "Jun Mohan, how cruel are you!" If she had the chance to get outta here, she must have the whole Fairy Land pay!
Her wrists were deeply cut open. Scarlet blood was streaming down into the basins on the ground. She just faintly closed her eyes.
In this isolated gloomy Fairy prison, being seen from a distance, Phoenix was stunningly beautiful as if she was wearing a red gown, her raven dark hair now turned all silver-white, all of these made her pale face more beautiful other than weak. Snow saw this scene the moment stepped in, she chuckled coldly that she couldn't believe her eyes that this woman could be this strikingly beautiful under this condition.
It didn't take long for Ziyan Emperor to search her Phoenix Hall and found the "irrefutable evidence" that Phoenix had allied with the Asmodians.
No matter what identity Phoenix had, she couldn't escape being sent to the Fairy prison for her opening the gate of Asmodians reported by Snow plus the item from Asmodians in the chamber.
Snow felt a sense of ecstasy when she thought of the ruined wedding.
The moment when she saw Phoenix was "invited" out of the Phoenix Hall by her people, she was truly surprised for Phoenix's hair all turned gray from previous raven black as if she became an old lady overnight. Although she didn't know what had happened, this was exactly what she wanted. Phoenix lost her ability to seduce Mohan when she was not pretty anymore.
Snow floated up to her way into the room. She was wearing a piece of drag-down violet gown, looked graceful and gorgeous. Obviously, she had deliberately dressed.
On seeing her, Phoenix strained her eyes and yelled, "Snow, how dare you treat me like this! Where is Jun Mohan! I wanna see him! Why he never shows up!?"
"Well, well, well..." Snow chuckled--her voice was soft but her eyes were fierce, "Look at you. Are you sure you wanna him to see you this way? Oh, no... Mohan won't fall for you even you have your old face, not to mention this." Phoenix closed her eyes in despair. Blood tears ped down from her cheek. "You dare to harm me secretly! Ziyan Emperor only ordered to prison me here temporarily. He would conduct further investigation. As for how to punish me, only Celestial people have the right to decide! If I get out of..."
"That's enough!" Snow interrupted her, "Stop your fantasy! I'm not going to let you leave this place alive. Ha, ha, ha... They won't have any clue, am I right?"
"I will kill you!" Phoenix hissed, her voice was as awfully hoarse as a ghost.
"You vicious bitch!"
"How can you say me vicious?" Snow pretended to be innocent, "If you hadn't stood in my way, ruined my life, you wouldn't have suffered like this. You're just not satisfied with being a noble phoenix girl and come to the Fairy Land to compete with me!"
Then, she took the glass, topped it with phoenix blood, and drank it up.
Thanks to her phoenix blood, Phoenix soon completely recovered from all the wounds that her skin now was fair, sleek, and soft, just like a newborn baby's.
Snow looked at the glass in her hand and then she sneered, "Sister Phoenix's blood is a good thing... milky and pure... You tell me, except the blood, what about your skin, your flesh... are they good things, too? Ha, ha, ha..." Phoenix closed her eyes. She didn't feel like saying a word. Let it be... She's completely wrong. She had loved him for three hundred years. These were all mistakes...
All mistakes...
"Ahh..." Her screams echoed one after another in the Fairy prison. Snow raised the knife and cut on her skin again and again.
