Once, she was Yuan Feng, a proud and untamed ruler who laughed above the Nine Heavens. She paid no mind to that so-called leader of the male immortals. At the grand gathering on Spirit Mountain, every immortal bowed to her and addressed her as Phoenix Lord.
She cast a provocative glance at the silent male immortal. "By seniority, you ought to address me as Phoenix Lord. But I rather like you. How about you become my son and call me Mother?"
Dong Wang Gong remained expressionless: "..."
She got no rise out of him, but she never fussed over trivial matters, so she waved it off and forgot about it. She enjoyed the feast immensely.
Then came the calamity of the Three Clans. After a century of gestation, the phoenix was reborn. The newly hatched chick's round eyes darted about, and met a pair of eyes as calm as the deep sea, untouched by joy or anger.
He rubbed the top of her head and said to her, before she had recovered her memories: "I'll raise you from now on. Stay by my side, and you'll have all the food you want. You should call me Dad."
She laughed with delight. Hearing that she'd have all the food she wanted, she thought she'd hit the jackpot. Afraid he might change his mind, she quickly chirped, "Dad!!!"
Their love story began later on.
