My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 939 - 940: Phoenix Emperor Flame

Capital City, Leaf family.

"Big brother, can Wudao and the others return safely this time from Dragon Island?" Nine Kill asked, his gaze full of worry.

"Relax, my son is blessed by the heavens!" Ye Lingtian took a sip of tea.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Dad, I’m back!"

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Lingtian and Nine Kill quickly turned their heads, only to see the rascal Ye Wudao and the others walking over, all smiles.

"Speak of the devil!" Ye Lingtian chuckled.

"Senior rascal, was everything alright on this trip to Dragon Island?" Nine Kill asked curiously.

"With me there, what could go wrong?" The rascal clasped his hands behind his back, his tone nonchalant.

Long Mie whispered secretly, "Uncle Nine Kill, you wouldn’t believe it—Senior rascal fought the elder Dragon King on Dragon Island, it was earth-shaking!"

*Hiss!*

Nine Kill drew a breath sharply!

"Dad, how’s Yueli?" Ye Wudao asked with concern.

"Not good!" Ye Lingtian’s gaze turned worried.

"Go!"

Ye Wudao didn’t dare to delay and rushed at full speed toward Su Yueli’s secluded area.

This place had already been declared a forbidden zone of the Leaf family!

Before even approaching the cave, an icy chill akin to millennia-old frost emanated from within, assailing them directly!

"Damn, it’s freezing!"

"What’s happening?" Long Mie and the others looked baffled.

"That girl’s condition doesn’t look good!" The rascal smacked his lips.

Ye Wudao ignored everything and stormed toward the cave!

Inside the cave.

Su Yueli lay on an icy jade bed, her jet-black hair turned blood-red, her body radiating intense cold akin to millennia-old ice, her beautiful eyes tightly shut.

"Grandpa rascal, what’s happening to Yueli?" Ye Wudao asked, confused.

"This girl’s Phoenix True Fire within her has been exhausted; her body temperature keeps dropping, and when it hits zero, she’ll perish completely!" replied the rascal.

What?

Everyone was shocked.

"My wife, I brought the Blood Dragon Crystal back from Dragon Island!" Ye Wudao pulled out the Blood Dragon Crystal from his possessions but found himself unable to awaken Su Yueli no matter what.

"Wife, wake up!"

Ye Wudao kept calling out, to no avail!

"Grandpa rascal, how do I use this Blood Dragon Crystal?" Ye Wudao was sweating profusely, utterly panicked.

"You brat, place the Blood Dragon Crystal on this girl’s body. The Blood Dragon Crystal is the purest of Yang; it might reignite her extinguished Phoenix True Fire!" the rascal explained.

Alright!

Ye Wudao immediately placed the Blood Dragon Crystal on Su Yueli’s body.

*Boom!*

A faint crimson warmth suddenly appeared on Su Yueli’s icy pale face.

"It’s working!"

Everyone looked ecstatic.

However, their joy didn’t last long. The redness on Su Yueli’s face quickly faded, and her body began emitting an even colder frost!

"What’s happening?" Ye Wudao asked anxiously.

"Bad news!" Even the rascal’s expression shifted; "This girl’s Phoenix True Fire has completely extinguished, to the point that even the elder Dragon King’s treasured Blood Dragon Crystal is of no help!"

What!?

Everyone felt as if struck by lightning, unable to believe their ears!

"Grandpa, what do we do now? My daughter-in-law can’t...!" Ye Lingtian was now completely on edge.

The rascal sighed deeply.

"Alas, her fate has reached its end. Even I cannot save her!" The rascal turned his back to them.

"Yueli!" Tear drops traced down Ye Wudao’s cheeks; "You must be freezing, aren’t you?"

"You brat, what are you doing?" The rascal sensed something amiss and suddenly turned around.

Only to see Ye Wudao hugging Su Yueli, flames bursting from his body!

Ye Wudao gripped Su Yueli’s cold fingers tightly, smiling gently: "Even if I die, I want to die by your side!"

*Boom!*

The rascal was taken aback, shouting:

"You brat, are you crazy? You’ve ignited your own True Fire! With such a weak flame, it won’t last long!"

Unfortunately, it was too late by the time the rascal uttered those words!

Ye Wudao embraced Su Yueli tightly, his True Fire diminishing steadily. His face turned pale, lips froze to a bluish color, and yet his gaze remained tender: "Do not fear, as long as I am here, you will never feel the cold again..."

As the flames extinguished.

Ye Wudao’s body transformed into a human-shaped ice sculpture!

"Son!"

"Old Ye!"

"Young master!" Ye Lingtian, Long Mie, Black Fox, and the others shouted in astonishment.

"Alas, it’s over!" The rascal sighed.

"Thud!" Ye Lingtian fell to his knees in front of the rascal, tears rolling down his face: "Grandpa, I beg you, save these children, they’re still so young, their future boundless..."

Nearby, Long Mie, Black Fox, Nine Kill, and others fell to their knees as well.

The rascal sighed deeply and said, "It’s not that I want to abandon these lovebirds, but that I simply cannot save them! This brat, Ye Wudao, burned his life away. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Ye Lingtian and the others urgently asked.

"Unless the Phoenix True Fire within Yueli reignites..." The rascal muttered, as though his own words were laughably absurd, shaking his head: "But throughout history, once the Phoenix Fire is extinguished, it cannot reignite!"

What?

Everyone felt the weight of despair, eyes brimming with tears.

"Son!" Ye Lingtian was heartbroken to the extreme, clutching his chest as he nearly fainted.

"Big brother!" Nine Kill held back tears, immediately supporting Ye Lingtian.

"No! My brother!" Long Mie wailed, consumed by grief.

"Young master, young mistress, don’t die!" Black Fox sobbed.

Just then, an unexpected transformation occurred!

*Roar!*

A sound akin to a divine bird echoed, shaking the heavens and earth!

"What was that sound?"

Everyone looked up in shock, only to see red flames igniting once again on Su Yueli’s body, wild and fierce like a phoenix reborn!

"The flames on young mistress’s body..."

"What’s happening?" Their eyes were filled with confusion.

The rascal’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring in shock: "Damn! The Phoenix True Fire reignited! No, wait, this isn’t Phoenix True Fire... It’s the legendary Phoenix Emperor Flame!"
