章 194: Chapter 96: Eclipse Phoenix _2

Ji Dong nodded and said, "I understand, thank you Vermilion Bird."

The Vermilion Bird gently shook its head, "Don't thank me, I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a daughter anymore. You've helped me again. Since you've returned, you've slowed your own cultivation progress to help Huo'er recover. You even channel a portion of your cultivated magic power into Huo'er every day. I truly don't know how to thank you."

As it turned out, the day Ji Dong returned to the Vermilion Bird Cave, he was shocked to find that the Little Vermilion Bird did not grow healthy as he had imagined, but had grown quite problematic.

The Little Vermilion Bird had been tormented by the Eclipse Yin Fire while inside the egg for years and was unable to hatch. She was born with a great problem. Despite Ji Dong's help to extract the Eclipse Yin Fire, she still survived, yet the innate defect made her greatly different from her mother.
