Inside Feng Yu's Quarter.
Feng Yu was currently sitting on a stool next to her bed. Her eyes were closed, and her hand was firmly fixed on top of Yi Chen's chest as her fiery red Qi gently circulated throughout his body.
If one looked carefully, one would realise that Yi Chen's hands, which were wounded earlier from tightly gripping the porcelain shard, were completely healed.
Healing would not be the right word. His hands looked as if they were never wounded in the first place. It was the same with his internal wounds.
A while later, she released a short breath and opened her eyes. Yi Chen was completely healed.
"Chen'er…" she muttered delicately while stroking his sleeping face with her gentle hands.
There was love apparent in her eyes, but along with it, there was a hint of sadness. Sadness was tormenting her heart at the moment.
Various thoughts regarding her present situation flooded her mind, but instead of filtering through them, she completely ignored them.
She only wanted to give all her attention to the person lying in front of her because this might be the last time she would ever see him.
"Mhmm…"
A tired groan escaped Yi Chen's throat the next moment as his eyes slowly opened up, followed by a few short blinks.
Feng Yu's unveiled face became clearer and clearer to him as his eyes gained their focus. His memory also started coming back to him.
"You're awake." Feng Yu smiled like a beautiful flower when she saw Yi Chen opening his eyes.
However, instead of a reply, what she received was a tight hug, which made her lean on his chest.
"Yu'er! You're alright! You're really alright! Do you know how scared I was back then, seeing you in that state! I'm so glad…."
As he said those words, Yi Chen's hold around her shoulders tightened as if fearing that he would lose her again if he didn't.
"Yes, I'm alright…I wasn't hurt…" Feng Yu answered as a wave of warmth spread throughout her body. All of her being wanted this moment to last for eternity…but that wasn't possible.
A while later, when they separated, Yi Chen asked after pushing his upper body up the bed, "Just what exactly was that red fire-like thing. Are you really fine?"
As he said that, his hand reached for her forehead and carefully stroked a particular spot.
It was the point where that thing had pierced. He was both confused and relieved that there was not even a small mark in that spot.
Feng Yu pursed her lips, hearing the affection and care in his voice and answered, "Yes, I'm fine…it was just a fire essence…and was laced with certain memories from my previous life,"
She revealed. Not wanting to hide anything from him.
'Fire essence?...' Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed when he heard the first part of her sentence, and he couldn't help but jump up in surprise after hearing her completely.
"Memories from a previous life?! What do you mean?" Yi Chen asked with surprise.
It was also at this moment that he properly glanced at the status panel, which was floating above her head.

Noticing the new changes, Yi Chen couldn't help but frown as a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
"I'm the Phoenix Empress…to be precise, her next reincarnation. That memory fragment provided me with all the details I needed to start anew…and moreover," Feng Yu paused and brought her palm forward.
The next moment, a huge pillar of flame rose from her hand and touched the ceiling. One would expect that the room would start burning, but it didn't.
The flame was completely under her control, so much so that even Yi Chen, who was just a few centimetres away, could only sense a subtle warmth from the flames.
'This…' his eyes widened in surprise and amazement at the scene.
The next moment, Feng Yu closed her palm, and the huge pillar of flame morphed into the shape of a small flying phoenix and, after encircling the two of them a couple of times, broke into red Qi particles and disappeared.
"Amazing…. That's amazing!" Yi Chen couldn't help but exclaim in delight while grabbing onto her shoulders.
Although he knew that Feng Yu was supposed to become the Phoenix Empress, he had never imagined it would happen so soon.
Seeing the sense of pride and delight apparent in Yi Chen's eyes, Feng Yu, of course, felt good, but at the same time, sadness started to creep into her eyes.
However, before Yi Chen could notice the change in her eyes, a certain memory flashed in his mind and an anxious expression formed on his face the next moment.
"Your father! How is he? He was seriously wounded by that old woman earlier and was bleeding profusely!" Yi Chen exclaimed.
"He took the Golden Firmament Pills, so he's fine now. I'll go there in a while. The servants are currently taking-" before Feng Yu could complete her words, Yi Chen jumped up from the bed.
"Let's go and meet him now!" he said, serious while grabbing her hands. Despite her words, there was still a hint of concern in his eyes.
Unlike Feng Yu, who was confident about Golden Firmament Pills thanks to her new memories, Yi Chen had only heard about their effect.
So such a response was only natural.
"Yes," she nodded, and the two left for the main quarter.
There was still a lot Feng Yu needed to convey to him, but seeing his urgency, she buried it for later.
At the same time, seeing him care so much for her father, she couldn't help but feel assured in her heart.
'With him taking care of father, my heart won't be troubled…' she thought with a conflicted expression on her face.
Walking side by side with hurried steps, the two soon reached Zheng Ru's quarter.
