"Pooh!" Phoenix couldn’t help laughing when she walked closer to Xiao Mu, as he decorated his head with all flowers.

"Haha, why did you make so many braids? Xiao Mu, don’t you manage your image? You will spoil her.

"No, mum, Daddy said it was beautiful!" Little Phoenix retorted.

"That’s your words, right? Phoenix "exposed" the truth. Later, the Little Phoenix rolled her eyes and pointed to a little rabbit on the ground and said, "I remember it, Da Bai said that!"

Phoenix said nothing. They began making wreaths around the garden just like a sweet family. Little Phoenix insisted on making a wreath for her mother, father, even grandpa, and the other six uncles.

"Daddy! Daddy! Why are you so stupid? That‘s not the correct way!"

"No white flowers, add more red and yellow flowers, please!"

...

Looking at the excited smiling face of Little Phoenix, Phoenix felt warm enough. An idea struck her what the life would be like if she would marry Xiao Mu in the future. Xiao Mu was a nice person, and he treasured Little Phoenix most.

...

No, it’s too selfish.

It’s unfair for Xiao Mu to be a reliance, and a harbor to rest. Actually, she didn’t love him at all.

She asked herself many times if she still loved Jun Mohan or not.

The fact was that she didn’t hate Jun Mohan at all. The fortune fooled them, which made them in such an embarrassed condition.

She knew clearly form the beginning that love is a disaster. But she loved him so much, which seemed like a flying moth darting into the fire. Nobody should be blamed for.

When one loves someone deeply, torturing would be a kind of happiness.

But now, she felt tired that all her love had been depleted.

The feeling was like cotton jacket wearing in summer, fans using in winter, and changing of heart after a long disappointment.

"Dong－Dong－Dong－"

The dull and vacant bell rang through the sky, hanging in the air. That’s the bells of Six states. Phoenix ped the wreaths in hands when hearing the bells, and the merciless wind scattered the flowers all over the ground.

Phoenix gazed at the broken flowers and asked, "Xiao Mu, did you hear that?"

"Yes! It‘s the death knell of Fairy Emperor!" Xiao Mu has come to Phoenix with incredible expressions.

Phoenix murmured in a low voice, "The bell is an obvious signal of the death of Fairy Emperor..."

"Is... Jun Mohan..." Phoenix slipped and almost fell to the ground. Luckily, Xiao Mu pulled her back into his arms.

"Mummy!" Little Phoenix rushed over and said, "Mummy! What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

Phoenix was pulled back to consciousness by the voice of little Phoenix, then she realized that she was crying for Jun Mohan again.

"Xiao Mu, is it a mistake? The Fairy Emperor came to the Heaven Clan a few days ago. Do you remember? Impossible, impossible! How could Jun Mohan die?

"Phoenix, calm down. Relax. Let‘s go to meet the Phoenix Emperor first!"

Xiao Mu did not know how to comfort Phoenix. He knew that Phoenix had never forgotten Jun Mohan ever since. The more indifferent she was, the more he knew how much she cared about Jun Mohan.

The death of Jun Mohan was crucial to all six states, for which the Heaven Clan will hold a meeting.

"Phoenix, I‘ll take you back to your room. Would you like to have a rest first? Stop overthinking, Little Phoenix would be with you. I‘ll go and find out what happened. And then revert to you, OK?” Xiao Mu was worried about Phoenix. In his opinion, little Phoenix will help to reduce her anxiety.

Phoenix had wiped away her tears and nodded to Xiao Mu. Xiao Mu had a heartache, and gently stroked Phoenix’s hair. He told Little Phoenix to be obedient and be together with her mother before his leaving.

"Mum, what‘s wrong with you? Mother..." Little Phoenix shook Phoenix‘s arm worrying and fearful. Her eyes were full of tears, as if she was going to cry at any time.

Phoenix lifted her lips and stroked the girl’s head powerlessly. "Little Phoenix, do you like the uncle in white robe?"

"Definitely!" Little Phoenix nodded forcefully, "I like that uncle very much! Even if you told me that uncle is not a good person, but I can feel that uncle is a gentleman, I like him SO MUCH!

Phoenix laughed slightly and said, "Emmm... How about your Daddy Xiao Mu? Is him your favorite?”

Little Phoenix was a little hesitated, "Although I like Daddy Xiao Mu, too. But... That was a totally different feeling when that uncle hugged me. His shoulders were wider than those of Daddy Xiao Mu. He was also taller than Daddy Xiao Mu, which made me safe, and... He has an attractive smell..."

"What‘s the smell?"

"Well...I don’t know...Like...Just like Daddy‘s smell..."

"Mother... Is that uncle my father? He told me that…Mother is his beloved one in his life..." Little Phoenix bowed her head and said. She was afraid of that mother would be angry for her words.

Phoenix was deeply sorrowful when hearing that. The little girl was very sensitive. Did she have already recognized that Jun Mohan was her father?

She knew that Little Phoenix was long for a father. Because of her selfishness, she hided it from her... From Jun Mohan. Now Jun Mohan has been dead, Little Phoenix had no chance to meet him anymore...

Tears falling down carelessly, she suddenly felt she was wrong.

Now Jun Mohan has been dead! How could he die? How could he die?

"Mother... Whoop..." Seeing her mother crying, Little Phoenix could not help crying with mouth open.

The two Phoenixes were hugging and crying in the room…
