Chapter 4: Love Knows No Races (Part 1)

So this is love

"Child, Mother is truly very happy. You are the most beautiful child in this world, the most adorable child." Ignoring the other's struggles, the Ice Phoenix had completely immersed herself in her own world, and the suddenly awakened maternal instinct had rendered her unable to control her actions

However, a very practical problem has arisen. Compared to the body of the youth, her form is indeed excessively large, to the extent that it is completely impossible to embrace him smoothly. Just her claws are larger than his entire body. As a result, her embracing motion appears more like that of a raptor hunting its prey

No, I can't hold back any longer! The Ice Phoenix tightly embraced the child in her arms, then lowered her head and began to gently lick his body, following the customs of her clan. (This is one of the behaviors of birds...)

This must be what it feels like to be a mother! Watching your little one struggle to crawl out of the egg, open its eyes, and look at you with those adorable and expectant eyes. This feeling, this feeling, is truly incredible

This is also quite natural; her true form has ruled over the Northern Ice Sea for countless millennia as the Ice Phoenix. With just a flap of her wings, she can easily invoke the phenomenon of a thousand miles of ice. This body, while barely suitable for hatching eggs, is truly inadequate for embracing.

Child, are you awake? A gentle voice came from somewhere. He recognized this voice; yes, it was the one that had been singing in his ear all along

The terrifyingly powerful magic gathered at high speed, and in the icy blue light, the enormous body of the Ice Phoenix began to rapidly shrink. Meanwhile, the terrifying chill surrounding her started to diminish continuously. Soon, the Ice Phoenix, which emanated a formidable freezing aura and whose every move could provoke what humans refer to as a "natural disaster," vanished.

Here, there are no traces of other life forms. What remains is merely the ice and snow, the duration of their existence unknown, and how many more years they will endure. It feels as if it is the end of the world

The art of transformation into human form is a compulsory skill for all intelligent super beasts. The reason for adopting a human shape is that there are numerous advantages to the life of a human. Whether in combat or in communication with other races, this form proves to be quite useful. Therefore, any intelligent super beast possesses the ability to transform into a human-like posture.

Although it is regrettable that the enlightenment education failed that time, it was purely due to the inherent issues in the thought process of the Lava King (if it can be said to have such a thought process), which was beyond our control

Even though the stars in the sky are so beautiful, they cannot divert my gaze from you

Moreover, this child resembles her so much, both being fair-skinned. Additionally, the child is quite small, truly adorable, to the extent that she does not even know how to express her affection properly. Having such a lovely child brings her immense joy

The powerful frost danced and leaped around her, forming a visible white chill. There was no need to deliberately emit any force; merely the presence of this terrifying frost was sufficient to freeze all life that approached it.

m.hetushu.com is not a significant issue. It can be said that for all intelligent super beasts, it is not a problem at all. (The Lord of the Lava Sea is an exception)

Ice and snow, everywhere is a blanket of pure white ice and snow. In the air, wherever the eye can see, there exists a beautiful world of ice. The place where he stands seems to be the highest point of this icy realm, situated atop a mountain surrounded by countless beautiful ice crystals

The body seems to have regained consciousness. What place could this be?

However, it is quite strange that the sound of the ice and snow howling cannot be heard, even though vast expanses of ice and snow can clearly be seen being blown into the sky within his line of sight

Even so, it exists to protect us

What is the weakest thing in this world

So warm

The gentle and sweet melody softly reverberates around the youth, unknowingly mending his weary soul, which has been exhausted by too many battles and too much suffering

Who is it? The young man raised his head, hoping to find someone to talk to. However, he did not see any other humans, and the only life closest to him seemed to be the beautiful ice-blue bird before him

A song that has been echoing all around, truly, truly incredible

My child, spread your wings and soar towards the sky

The first thing these eyes behold is an expanse of sky, vast and boundless in its azure hue. This is a blue reminiscent of gemstones, pure and genuine. Within the sky, there exists a beam of colorful light. It stretches across the entire sky, extending all the way to the horizon, a light unique to the world of ice and snow.

Then, what entered these eyes was a magnificent bird, as beautiful as those in myths. It possessed broad wings of icy blue, its entire body covered in snow-white feathers. On its head, there were three tufts of blue feathers that stood slightly upright towards the back.

"What a beautiful child, come here, be good, let mother hold you for a moment." The ice phoenix spread its wings and extended its claws, wanting to embrace its child

In fact, when she first began to incubate the eggs, she had prepared herself for a period of ten years or even a hundred years. To hatch them so quickly is already a tremendous surprise for her

On her head, three strands of blue hair stood upright, quivering gently, and were exceedingly adorable. Beneath those three strands of hair were a pair of gentle blue eyes filled with laughter. At that moment, those eyes, as gentle as the sea, were gazing at the young boy who had just opened his eyes a short while ago

So beautiful ... At this moment, the young man's heart held no other thoughts. He was simply moved by her beautiful and majestic presence. He would not think about why he was here, why he was under her wings, being comforted by her reassuring care

Under the protection of beautiful and gentle melodies, after a long period of deep slumber, the young man finally slowly opened his eyes. They were a pair of black, clear eyes, akin to the calm and tranquil night.

As a powerful level 9 magical beast, the Ice Phoenix can go for years without rest without any issues, let alone the mere few days of waiting. In the past, she even spent hundreds of years providing basic enlightenment education to the Lava King in the volcano.

From her hands, from her chest, from every part of her body, a warm and happy feeling emanates. For someone who has always been alone, this experience is something she had never even imagined.

Ah! Finally, we can embrace, my child, come here. The Ice Phoenix opened her arms wide, holding the boy's body tightly, very tightly. However, due to the difference in their statures, the boy's head was actually nestled into the Ice Phoenix's magnificent and soft bosom.

For the super beasts, the least of all is time. One should not bring all human concepts of time into the world of super beasts, as that would be utterly ridiculous

... ...

Open your eyes...

This is the true form of the Lord of the Northern Ice Sea—the Ice Phoenix. When she soars through the sky with her ice-blue wings, a massive ice storm sweeps across the entire land. She is the master of this snowy world, a powerful being that approaches the realm of the "divine"

It has been a long time since I last used a human form... Although at first I wanted to embrace the child with my own body out of habit, Bing Huang quickly realized that for this child, the human form is still more approachable.

Standing before the young man is a tall young lady with beautiful long blue hair and a well-proportioned figure. She possesses a slender physique and a lovely oval face, appearing to be around twenty years old. However, the happiness and sweetness in her smile give her a more mature appearance. This young lady is dressed in a pure white feathered outfit, and although she is in a frigid, snowy world, her attire is quite thin, revealing her shoulders and the upper part of her chest. Her long legs are adorned with a pair of white stockings.

This feeling of excitement, happiness, and joy is something she has never experienced before. The sensation of being completely filled with a warm and sweet essence is truly wonderful

At this moment, he does not need to think about anything; at this moment, he does not need to bear any responsibilities; at this moment, all he needs to do is to rest well

By the side of the sleeping youth, the Ice Phoenix continued to sing, waiting, waiting for her child to open his eyes. She would not disturb his slumber, nor would she wake him. For even without doing anything, simply watching her child in silence brought her such happiness that she almost couldn't help but spread her wings and soar into the sky

In these eyes, there is neither fatigue, nor sadness, nor anger. What exists is merely a purity and tranquility akin to the sky, as if they are the eyes that behold this world for the very first time

After his eyes swept over the beautiful bird, which was guarded by its two wings, the young man continued to gaze at the surrounding scenery

I heard it again, that song!

Uh... I don't know whether to say this is enjoyment or punishment. The boy tightly embraced by the Ice Phoenix feels as if he can hardly breathe. However, the warm and soft sensation coming from his face makes him feel very comfortable even as he struggles to catch his breath

She is ... . ... Upon seeing the three distinctive blue vertical strands of hair, the young boy quickly understood that this older sister was none other than the beautiful bird that had been protecting him all along
