Chongyuan is the Nanli Divine Lord in charge of all fires. All the flames in the three realms are under his control.
However, he has a lonely temperament and lives alone in Nanli Palace. No one dares to disturb him in the three realms.
Until that day, he picked up a phoenix egg at the foot of Qiwu Mountain.
The egg broke, and a little wet bird came out. It raised its head and "chirped" at him, then opened its mouth and called: "Mother."
Chongyuan: "... I am a man."
The little bastard changed his mind: "Daddy!"
Chongyuan wanted to throw her back into the nest. But the moment he raised his hand, a secret flashed before his eyes.
He saw this stupid bird grow up, and it was so beautiful that it was breathtakingly beautiful. The Nirvana fire in its body was stripped alive by people, and it was refined into the natal fire of others. The Phoenix that lost its fire quickly aged, its feathers faded, its blood dried up, and finally it turned into a handful of ashes without even a chance to be reincarnated.
Chongyuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her.
The little stupid bird was trying its best to rub the wet fluff on his shoe, and kept saying "Daddy, Daddy" in its mouth.
"That's alright." He took back his hand, "I want to see who dares to touch your fire."
From then on, there was a little phoenix in the palace of Nanli Shenjun.
After feeding, combing, and transforming into a human form, she was taught how to dress and eat. She also had to drive away waves of younger members of the clan who came to watch the fun.
One day, Si Ming Xingjun came to Nanli Palace to deliver the heavenly book. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw a fiery red phoenix nestled in Nanli Shenjun's arms, with his mouth open waiting for someone to feed him grapes.
Si Mingxingjun's eyes almost fell out: "Lord Shenjun, is this your new... Spiritual pet?"
Little Phoenix poked his head out of Chongyuan's arms and corrected: "It's not a spiritual pet, it's daddy's darling."
