Black Phoenix

The small maid was in deep thought over the matter for a while. The two, man and girl, had stopped in their tracks and were looking at one another until the girl finally nodded her head.

"I guess you are right," she said with a bit of hesitation. "If I love someone, I should protect them and live a long life with them instead of merging with them. As long as I live, then I will be able to protect the ones dear to me, so my rebirth ability is priceless. I cannot afford to sacrifice it unless it is the only way to save the ones I love."

Hui Yue looked at the young girl who seemed to be no more than ten years old and sighed. What did this girl even know about love, he wondered, but he also knew better than to actually ask such a question.

"You said you were a phoenix," Hui Yue changed the subject and smiled as he looked at the girl. "I have never met any phoenixes other than Lan Feng. What is your name? What kind of phoenix are you?"
