"Kill her!"
"This good-for-nothing doesn't deserve to live!"
On the chaotic battlefield, a girl covered in blood was surrounded by a pack of fierce Chiming Dogs. Her body was covered with all sorts of wounds.
High above her, the luxuriously dressed Shen Yang was in high spirits when she saw the girl. Shen Yang raised her voice and ordered the Chiming Dogs, "Tear her up right now! Bring her hands and feet to me!"
Upon receiving Shen Yang's order, the beasts pounced on the girl without hesitation. One of them bit the girl's shoulder and instantly tore off a large piece of flesh from her.
The girl's eyes were bloodshot and full of agony, but she bit down on her lip tightly and didn't let out even a cry of pain.
She proudly raised her head and endured the assault of the dogs while looking back at Shen Yang defiantly.
She wanted to remember Shen Yang's face forever. Upon escaping this place someday, she would never let go of Shen Yang, the evil person who had been torturing her, day and night!
She must make Shen Yang pay for all she had done!
Shen Yang looked the girl in the eye and her face was filled with anger. "You little brat, how dare you look at me like that? Do you really think that as the daughter of that b*tch and a king, you'd be worthy of being a princess?"
"Simply ridiculous! Only my cousin deserves to be a princess. You're just another b*stard daughter of a king who barely cares about you. Can't you see he hasn't even given you a name ever since you were born?!"
"Just like back then, after your useless mother gave birth to you she was thrown by my aunt into the barracks and allowed to be trampled by everyone there. The emperor didn't care about that either. Even if I torture you to death today, the king would never go after me!"
As Shen Yang spoke, she ordered her Chiming Dogs, "Keep going until there's nothing left of her!"
"Today is the day of the princess awakening her beast spirit. I'll use your death to celebrate on her behalf!"
Upon receiving Shen Yang's orders, the Chiming Dogs became much fiercer.
The girl couldn't bear to see herself mauled to death. At that moment, she fled in a panic, hoping to save herself.
But her desperation greatly excited Shen Yang. Shen Yang laughed heartily, enjoying the feeling of killing someone on her own.
Suddenly, the girl fell down in exhaustion.
The Chiming Dogs pounced on her like a pack of hungry wolves!
The pain of her flesh being torn apart caused the girl's eyes to turn bloodshot.
She was supposed to turn 10 that day. In the Beasts Kingdom, everyone would awaken their beast spirit at the age of 10 and unleash their first-ever spiritual beast.
Her birthday was on the same day as the princess, so now the entire kingdom was celebrating the awakening of the princess' beast spirit. Meanwhile, she was reduced to an ant in Shen Yang's hands.
She didn't even have a name!
Still, she was unwilling to give up!
If her beast spirit could awaken at that very moment, she might be able to summon her spiritual beast and kill her way out!
While she was thinking about what to do next, someone suddenly announced, "The queen is here!"
"Aunt!" Shen Yang immediately stood up to welcome the queen.
The queen glanced at the girl drenched in blood on the battlefield. When she saw the murderous gaze in the girl's eyes, she couldn't help but frown. She raised her hand and waved, signaling for her personal servant to take her away.
In response, Shen Yang said, "Auntie, this b*tch deserves to die. Let me kill her and make the world a better place."
The queen shook her head. "I know you want to do it for me. It's just that today is a good day for Lingqiao to awaken her beast spirit, so there shouldn't be any bloodshed. Besides, no matter how lowly this girl is, half of the king's blood still flows through her veins. You mustn't kill her too hastily. I'll take her away. You should leave as well."
Although Shen Yang was unwilling to let the girl go, her aunt had spoken and she couldn't protest. So, she said, "Alright."
The queen took the girl away, but she didn't bring the girl back to her room or release her. Instead, the queen threw the girl into a dungeon.
She looked contemptuously at the half-dead girl lying on the ground and ordered the servant beside her indifferently, "Gouge her eyes out and kill her. We can't leave a b*tch in this place."
She turned around and was about to leave, but the servant behind her screamed, "The phoenix spirit!"
"Your Grace! She's the phoenix spirit that came from the phoenix bone!"
Upon hearing this, the queen turned around in disbelief. She saw that the scars all over the girl's body were emitting a wave of dazzling red light and burning up with flames that reached the skies!
The queen's gaze turned grim.
No wonder in the past, every time the girl was injured, she would recover very quickly. Was it because of the phoenix spirit?
Within the Beasts Kingdom, everyone's beast spirit was attached to their beast bone. The better their beast bone was, the higher their beast spirit's potential would be.
Amongst them, the phoenix spirit had the most potential.
For thousands of years, this was the first phoenix spirit born from a phoenix bone in the Beasts Kingdom!
Why?
Why did this little b*tch have a phoenix spirit?!
This was supposed to be her daughter's achievement!
Looking at the girl's shining phoenix bone, the queen gradually narrowed her eyes in disgust.
Eventually, she slowly opened her mouth and ordered the maid beside her, "Use our Shen family's ancestral secret technique to dig out her phoenix bone and return it to my Lingqiao! A noble bone should belong to the most honorable princess of the Beasts Kingdom!"
"Yes, Your Grace!" The servants walked toward the defenseless girl with sabers in their hands.
The girl couldn't believe it and took a step back. Blood dripped to the ground from her body.
But where else could she retreat to?
In the end, she was dragged over by the servants mercilessly. Instantly, the sharp blades pierced her skin and flesh!
"Ah!" The girl shrieked in agony but the servants didn't show any mercy.
"I'm going to kill you!" The girl's eyes were a deep red as she glared angrily at the queen. She roared, "I'll kill you and avenge my mother! I'm going to cut up your body into pieces and feed your blood to the dogs! I'm going to crush your bones and leave you dead without a full body!"
In front of her rage, the queen was completely unfazed. "Who doesn't know how to lash out? Well, you won't have the chance anymore."
"You've lost your phoenix spirit and phoenix bone. You're now just a cripple. Kill me? Dream on!"
After that, the queen saw that the servants had removed the phoenix bone and also obtained the phoenix spirit that had been born with the help of a phoenix egg.
The queen's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Quick! Send them to Lingqiao!"
The servants left in a hurry to offer the princess the treasures.
The queen looked at the dying girl on the ground with disdain as she reached out to grab the phoenix bone from one of the servants. She sneered and ordered, "Leaving her in the dungeon is special treatment..."
"Throw her into the Devil Stream. She'll be my reward for the devils. Let them tear her apart and eat her up. It would be best if they don't leave any remains!"
Upon saying this, the queen left with a flick of her sleeves.
The servants looked at one another with fear in their eyes.
After all, the Devil Stream wasn't a great place to be.
Although there was a seal in place, preventing devils from coming out, if someone accidentally fell into it, there would be no turning back!
The intense Devil Qi that lingered there year-round made everyone in the Beasts Kingdom stay far away from it. Even the king and queen wouldn't dare to approach it casually. The Devil Stream was thus classified as forbidden territory by the Beasts Kingdom!
Ultimately, two servants were assigned to carry the bruised and battered girl to the Devil Stream.
The two servants didn't dare to stay there a second longer than necessary. Once they cruelly threw the girl into the Devil Stream, they ran away as swiftly as they came.
The moment before she was engulfed by the darkness, the girl saw a golden light flashing towards the eastern sky, followed by the resounding cry of a phoenix.
That was an auspicious sign of the phoenix spirit's birth.
The Phoenix Maiden had arrived.
As for the girl, she continued her descent into the abyss where she would be trapped forever...
