Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 393 Phoenix Reborn

Ye Qing'an returned to the house; the sky outside was just beginning to lighten.

Ye Qing'an was closing her eyes, preparing to take a nap, when she heard a soft voice outside: "Is the young lady awake?"

"Probably not? But the master is away from home recently, and the young lady has to manage the affairs of the mansion, so she doesn't need to go to the academy to cultivate. Let her be, let her sleep a little longer."

After Zixiao finished speaking, Ye Qing'an heard Wei Mama ask in a low voice, "Did you see that strange phenomenon earlier?"

Zixiao responded with a soft "Mm".

Vision?

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Come in, I'm awake."

The talking outside stopped, and then Granny Wei and Zixiao walked in together.

"The young lady woke up so early?"

"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded: "It's probably because I went to bed early last night, so I woke up early as well."

Ye Qing'an raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them: "I just heard you talking about something outside, strange phenomena? What strange phenomena?"

Granny Wei and Zixiao exchanged a glance before Granny Wei spoke: "Miss, you didn't see it. We got up early, and about a quarter of an hour ago, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky. A red light, like a dancing flame, lit up the sky. The flame grew brighter and brighter, almost illuminating most of the sky. Then, the flame suddenly disappeared, and then it seemed as if a phoenix was reborn from the flames, flying out from the flames and then slowly disappearing into the horizon."

"At first, I thought I was seeing things, but after asking many people in the manor, they all said they saw it, and only then did I believe that what I saw was a real sight."

"A quarter of an hour ago?" Ye Qing'an murmured, narrowing her eyes.

She had broken through the inner demon illusion realm and become a supreme being about fifteen minutes ago.

And it was reborn from the ashes...

Ye Qing'an gently stroked her fingers under the blanket. Wasn't her situation a case of being reborn from the ashes?

In her previous life, she died in a fire and then came to this strange world, becoming Ye Qing'an, and then cultivated herself to become a Supreme Being.

The phoenix rising from the ashes is perhaps the best way to describe her.

This is probably God's blessing upon her.

"Yes, just fifteen minutes ago."

Ye Qing'an smiled and lowered her eyes: "That's a pity. If I had woken up earlier, I could have seen such a magnificent sight."

"Yes," Zi Xiao nodded, "She is truly beautiful."

However, not many people witnessed this grand spectacle, and it didn't cause much of a stir in the Ye family mansion. Ye Qing'an heard about it but didn't pay much attention to it.

In the afternoon, Ye Qing'an was taking a nap in the library of the Cloud Dreamland, preparing to master some spells she hadn't cultivated in her previous life, when Jiu Xiao quietly sneaked in.

"Did you know that a strange phenomenon occurred in Wangjing this morning?"

"I didn't see it, but I heard the servants mention it."

"Of course you couldn't see it. You had just been promoted to Supreme at that time and were still in this Cloud Dreamland."

Jiuxiao clicked his tongue and lowered his voice, saying, "However, quite a few people in the city saw it, and it is said that after the Emperor learned of this, he asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate it."

"Oh?" Ye Qing'an chuckled. "What did you calculate? Is it some strange phenomenon in the sky, a sign of impending disaster?"

"No, that's not it. The Imperial Observatory and the current Imperial Preceptor both said that the strange phenomenon that occurred that day was because a new Supreme Being had successfully cultivated."

Ye Qing'an raised her eyes: "They said that? And that strange phenomenon is related to me?"

It's no wonder Ye Qing'an said that, after all, the previous strange phenomena that appeared in the sky were all fake, and were forcibly attributed to her.

Jiuxiao seemed to have remembered this too, and chuckled: "This time it's different, this time it's for real."

Jiuxiao pursed his lips and took a book from the bookshelf beside him: "Legend has it that every time a Supreme Being descends upon the world, extraordinary phenomena will appear in the sky."

"Is it always the same scene of a phoenix rising from the ashes?"

"That's not it. Each phenomenon is different, but they are all related to the Supreme Being who is about to appear in the world. Therefore, these celestial phenomena are usually regarded by those in power as clues to find the Supreme Being."

Clues?

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

This strange phenomenon should not be associated with her by anyone.

As if guessing what Ye Qing'an was thinking, Jiu Xiao continued, "I heard rumors outside that the Imperial Observatory and the Imperial Preceptor jointly predicted the new Supreme Being. They deduced through the phoenix that the Supreme Being who will be born should be a woman."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Phoenix... a woman?

"However, they only figured this out; they know nothing else. Even so, they probably still can't contact you, so it should be fine."

Ye Qing'an responded, "However, Yi Yun Kui would never allow the Supreme One to be left out in the wilderness. He will definitely try every means to find him and then bring him under his control. I just don't know what he will do. We don't need to panic. As you said, almost everyone in the Ye family knows that I am a Holy Spirit Body and that I have not been cultivating for long. They can't find me."

"Hmm." Jiuxiao nodded, then said, "However, the news of a new Supreme Being's arrival has already spread, and there's a lot of discussion about it outside. You should go out and see for yourself."

“Go ahead.” Ye Qing’an curled the corners of her lips: “Since it’s so lively, I should naturally join in the fun.”

As Ye Qing'an spoke, she left the Dreamland of Clouds and then summoned Granny Wei: "Go and inform the steward that I am going out of the manor to check on the shops and see how they are doing lately."

"Yes."

When Ye Qing'an was about to leave the mansion, the steward did not make things difficult for her. He simply ordered a carriage to be prepared and also dispatched some guards to accompany her.

Ye Qingan got into the carriage and instructed the driver to head straight for the restaurant.

Qianjiang Tower, the same restaurant where Ye Qing'an first heard about storytelling.

It's probably because the weather has been excellent lately, neither too hot nor too cold.

The restaurant was doing very well today. The manager personally welcomed Ye Qing'an upstairs and said with a smile, "Because of the strange phenomenon that happened that day, the restaurant is doing very well today. Fortunately, there is always a private room available in the restaurant on weekdays, which is just right."

Ye Qing'an replied, "Shopkeeper, you go ahead with your work. I'll listen to the storytelling for a while."

The storyteller downstairs spoke with dramatic intonation: "...The Grand Preceptor clapped his hands and sighed, 'This celestial phenomenon foretells the arrival of a supreme being. Moreover, this phenomenon is a phoenix rising from the ashes, which roughly means that the supreme being is a woman who has been reborn from the ashes. She must have had a difficult past life before she cultivated herself to achieve her goal.'"

"Women," the guests downstairs murmured. "No matter how powerful or supreme a woman is, how much can she accomplish?"

"And to cultivate to the level of a Supreme Being, one must be around forty or fifty years old, right? Perhaps already surrounded by children and grandchildren, hahaha..."
