1,000 years ago, the world was in chaos due to a terrible battle. The battle was caused by 3 clans, namely the God Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Black Dragon Clan.
The fierce battle made the entire clan suffer. "Dragon King, you should surrender now, and let us seal your power so that you do not become a disaster for the world!" said an old man from the god clan - Tian Ming, the Heavenly Emperor.
The Dragon King, Xuan Long, laughed sarcastically, his eyes looking at the entire God Clan with disdain. "You guys? Want to seal me? Ahaha, it seems you dream too much. You are just selfish god clans."
Not caring about Xuan Long's words, the god clan quickly activated a formation to lock the Dragon King's movements.
Tian Ming approached Xuan Long who was struggling. "If you don't want to surrender, then we will have to force you."
"Force? How do you want to seal me without my consent? Don't dream too much, Tian Ming!" Xuan Long belittled.
"Do you think I don't know your weakness, Xuan Long?" Tian Ming asked.
"If I forcibly remove your Dragon core, what will happen, I don't need to tell you, right? The very Arrogant Dragon King." Tian Ming smiled sarcastically at Xuan Long.
Xuan Long laughed sarcastically, he looked at Tian Ming. "Just try if you can, removing my Dragon core, it's the same as exchanging it with all of your lives."
Tian Ming only smiled slightly, before finally he and the other gods began to activate a secret formation belonging to the god clan to remove the Dragon core from Xuan Long.
Xuan Long who saw the actions of the gods only smiled sarcastically and said in his heart. "I will let you seal me, because in the future, my descendants will avenge me and the entire Dragon clan."
However, before the God clan managed to activate the formation, the Great Phoenix, Feng Yanxi, arrived with her two Phoenix wings spread wide, showing her authority as the Great Phoenix.
Without saying much, Feng Yanxi immediately flapped her Phoenix wings in one move, making the gods immediately fly quite far away.
"Feng Yanxi! What do you mean by this? Do you want to become a rebel for the Dragon Clan?" Tian Ming asked, he pointed his divine spear at Feng Yanxi.
"You don't need to take out the dragon core just because you can't seal it using your formation. You want to take out the dragon core because he is a disaster for the world?" Feng Yanxi chuckled softly, looking at the gods in surprise.
Feng Yanxi sighed softly, then looked at the god clans with disdain. "You are indeed a selfish clan, you are the one who disturbed the dragon clan first for personal interests, but you instead accuse the Dragon clan of starting it. It's so unreasonable."
"Are you blind? You have seen for yourself the actions of the Dragon clan that you support, many innocent creatures have become miserable because of their actions!" Tian Ming was furious, he showed the misery of the creatures to Feng Yanxi, Xuan Long, and also the gods.
"I know, but he did this because you guys started it. But I won't be lenient with him either. So, let me seal him myself, just seal him, not take the Dragon core and also his power," Feng Yanxi explained, this made Xuan Long look at him complicatedly.
"As for you, the selfish god clan, I will make you get your retribution too," Feng Yanxi continued, his words made the god clan a little afraid.
Feng Yanxi, made a few gestures with her hands to gather strength, then pointed it towards the sky. "I, Feng Yanxi the Great Phoenix, with my Phoenix power, I borrow the power of the sky to give 1,000 sky lightning to the god clan who has abused their power, oppressed other clans, and tried to evade responsibility!"
The sky lightning began to strike the selfish god clan mercilessly, no one could escape from the sky lightning, even if they ran as far as possible, the sky lightning would still find and strike them.
After giving the sky lightning to the god clan, Feng Yanxi approached Xuan Long. "Forgive me, Xuan Long."
With the remaining strength, Feng Yanxi began to seal Xuan Long into the Xu Yuan gate.
After finishing sealing Xuan Long, Feng Yanxi went to the holy realm to restore it to its original state, she also took 1 phoenix egg, then brought it to Zhenling mountain in the Mortal world.
Feng Yanxi gave 1 phoenix egg to her most trusted person, Aunt Yun Zheng who was the incarnation of a Peacock.
"Her name is Feng Ruoyan, she is my only daughter. Please, keep her away from the clan's troubles, so that she won't end up like me. I beg you, Yun Zheng." After saying everything he wanted to say, Feng Yanxi slowly disappeared due to his energy being completely drained.
Yun Zheng could only smile helplessly at the departure of his beloved niece. "I hope you can reincarnate, Feng Yanxi."
1,000 years later.
In Qianyan Village located at the foot of Zhenling Mountain. A girl in simple beautiful clothes was walking around the village market with cheerful laughter, she was Feng Ruoyan, she was accompanied by a parrot, Yao'er.
"Hello Uncle Li, are the fruits fresh?" Feng Ruoyan stopped by Uncle Li's fruit stall. Uncle Li smiled kindly.
"Of course, that's why the fruits from Uncle Li's stall are always fresh."
"Always fresh, always fresh." Yao'er repeated Uncle Li's words, making Uncle Li and Feng Ruoyan chuckle.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Li, Feng Ruoyan walked back to Grandma and Grandpa Wang's dumpling stall.
"Morning, Grandma Wang, Grandpa Wang, are the dumplings still warm?" asked Feng Ruoyan while peeking at the dumplings in the pot.
"Yes, Ruoyan, would you like a bowl?" Grandma Wang offered as she took a bowl of dumplings for Ruoyan.
"If Grandma Wang has offered, of course I won't refuse." Feng Ruoyan accepted the bowl of dumplings with a coquettish smile.
Grandma Wang and Grandpa Wang smiled warmly at Feng Ruoyan's cute behavior.
"Just eat slowly, Ruoyan. Our shop has never refused your presence." Grandpa Wang stroked the top of Ruoyan's head affectionately.
While she was happily eating her dumplings, Ruoyan accidentally overheard the conversation of two customers behind her who were talking.
"Hey, did you know? In the Jingyou forest on Zhenling mountain, there is a rumor that there are restless spirits from the spirit realm wandering around."
"Is that true? I was just planning to look for herbs to sell to the medical center."
"You should get rid of that intention, they said, the spirit's appearance is scary, some people even went crazy after seeing it in the forest."
"Curious spirit? Seriously?" Ruoyan wondered, she had been going up and down the mountains but had never seen anything like that.
After finishing eating and saying goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa Wang, Ruoyan decided to continue exploring the village.
When passing through a small alley, Ruoyan and Yao'er heard a noisy sound from inside the alley.
Because of curiosity, Ruoyan finally looked for the source of the sound, until she found that the sound was caused by a teenage boy who was bullying his female friend.
"What are you guys doing there?" Ruoyan approached them, for some reason, her aura became a little scary for ordinary people like them.
Afraid of being caught by Ruoyan, they all finally ran away and left the bullied woman alone.
Ruoyan approached the woman, she stretched out her hand. "Come on, stand up, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you like they did."
Hesitantly, the woman accepted Ruoyan's outstretched hand. "Thank you, good sister."
Ruoyan smiled, she took out her handkerchief to clean the woman's face. "Next time, if someone bullies you, just fight them. You don't need to be afraid, as long as you haven't done anything wrong, why be afraid and submit to those bootlicking dogs, it's very inappropriate."
Feng Ruoyan advised the woman, she was quite annoyed because this woman just kept quiet when being bullied.
"My name is Ruoyan, this is my parrot, Yao'er, she can speak and understand human language, what's your name?" asked Ruoyan, she was curious about the name of this beautiful woman in front of her.
"My name is Mei Lin," she answered with a slight smile, she began to feel comfortable and safe when she was with Ruoyan.
"Hi, Mei Lin, you seem like you're going to be our new best friend." Yao'er jumped up and down happily.
"Your hands are warm," said Mei Lin spontaneously as she held Ruoyan's hand.
"Really? Do you like it?" Ruoyan asked with a smile and tilted her head to the side, she looked at Mei Lin's face.
Mei Lin smiled, then nodded her head without hesitation.
"It's good if you like it, just hold my hand, I'll take you around the market and buy lots of delicious food." Ruoyan invited, she ran slowly while holding Mei Lin's hand.
Mei Lin, Ruoyan, and Yao'er spent the whole day together, they filled this day with jokes, laughter, and also the warmth of friendship.
As the day approached evening, Ruoyan began to say goodbye to Mei Lin. "It's getting dark, Yao'er and I will take our leave first, we'll see you again tomorrow."
Mei Lin was silent, her expression changed to sadness. This made Ruoyan feel confused.
"What's wrong with you, Mei Lin? Are you sad because I'm going home? Can't we meet again tomorrow?" Ruoyan asked, she was a little worried about Mei Lin.
Mei Lin shook her head slowly. "I don't have a home, I don't have anyone here."
Ruoyan was silent, she didn't think that Mei Lin's fate would be so miserable, she thought Mei Lin at least had a place to live.
"How about you come with me to my house? Even though it's on the top of the mountain, it's a safe and warm place," Ruoyan offered with a little hesitation.
"Isn't it troublesome for you?" Mei Lin asked carefully. Ruoyan smiled, she held both of Mei Lin's shoulders.
"Of course not, you are my best friend, and I am not someone who will let my best friend suffer while I am fine."
Mei Lin smiled, she hugged Ruoyan's body gently. "Thank you, Ruoyan."
"But there are restless spirits there, aren't you afraid?" Yao'er asked in a half-joking tone.
Mei Lin shook her head quickly. "Although I am often bullied, it doesn't mean I am a coward and weak person, Yao'er."
Ruoyan just smiled faintly, she began to invite Mei Lin to climb the mountain. They passed through the Jingyou forest which was said to have a curious spirit in it.
Along the way, no one made a sound, there was only the sound of the soft wind and also the light from the small torch that Ruoyan always carried.
In the middle of the journey, Ruoyan began to feel a strange aura. She looked around warily.
On the other side, a man in a black robe was hiding in the tall trees, he was wearing a face covering that only covered the lower part of his face, while his pitch-black eyes continued to watch the movements of Ruoyan, Mei Lin, and Yao'er.
"What is this aura..." the man muttered, curiosity suddenly appeared in his heart.
Meanwhile, Ruoyan who began to feel something strange, began to whisper to Yao'er to go call Granny Yun.
Not long after Yao'er left, the man in the robe immediately stood in front of Ruoyan and Mei Lin.
Ruoyan who saw that immediately pulled Mei Lin to step back a little from the man, and stood beside him.
The man in the black robe walked closer to Ruoyan. Ruoyan who was increasingly alert began to take out a small dagger from her shirt pocket.
"Are you the curious spirit that people say?" asked Ruoyan, she did not believe that the curious spirit really existed, even facing her.
The man ignored him, he stared at Ruoyan closely. "Why is the aura between the two of you so familiar to me?"
Ruoyan and Mei Lin exchanged glances. "Whose aura do you mean? And what kind of aura do you mean?"
The man in the black robe wanted to hold Ruoyan's face, however, Ruoyan who thought that the man wanted to hurt them, reflexively stabbed the man's right shoulder using her dagger.
Ruoyan and Mei Lin immediately ran away from there when they saw the man was a little off guard.
Not far in front of them, Granny Yun came with Yao'er. Granny Yun ran towards them and immediately hugged them tightly.
"Are you okay?" Granny Yun asked, her face full of worry. Ruoyan just shook her head slowly, while Mei Lin was a little stiff, Ruoyan then invited them all to go home immediately.
Before leaving, Granny Yun, namely Yun Zheng turned her body slightly, she stared closely at the black-robed man with a peacock clan mark on his forehead and also his eyes that had changed to blue mixed with green typical of peacocks.
"Peacock clan? Why are those two girls with the descendants of the legendary peacock clan from the holy realm? One of the two girls must have something special." The black-robed man was increasingly curious about Ruoyan and Mei Lin who turned out to be in a relationship with the legendary clan.
