Li Chu picked up a roast chicken. More precisely, it was a Phoenix with singed feathers, one her master had defeated.
Hmm... I could stew it into soup to nourish Master's health.
The dignified Phoenix: !
Things didn't go as planned. The two of them fell into a rather indecent secret realm, an opportunity left for future generations by the ancestors of the Hehuan Sect. But... but she cultivated the heartless path!
The secret realm was a real menace. After one trip inside, her heartless path was broken. Li Chu sighed and said, "I'll take responsibility for you."
The proud, haughty Phoenix glanced at her lightly, then turned away just as lightly, leaving her with the back of his arrogant head. "No need!"

Master: "No! How can a human consort with a demon? The entire Immortal Sect would never agree to the two of you being together. Let's just treat this as an accident."
The Phoenix, who had secretly listened from outside the room, placed a hand on his belly. The awkward, anxious feelings he had been struggling with were doused in a bucket of cold water. He swiftly packed his things and left the Qingyun Immortal Sect.
Li Chu: "Master, I was the one who forced myself on him. I have to take responsibility."
Master: "He was weak and unwilling. How could a grown man possibly be forced by you?"
Li Chu reminded him: "You beat him back into his original form, Master. He's very weak."
Master: "..."
Master waved a hand. "Do whatever you want!"
Her master had agreed to let them become cultivation partners. Li Chu was about to share the good news with that proud Phoenix, but discovered he had already run away.
A senior sister of the Heartless Path, devoted to cultivation, and a pregnant Phoenix demon lord who overheard only half the conversation before running away.
Theme: Love endures until death.
