Coldly dismissing the maid Xiao Tao, I ignited the secret technique to measure Bloodline, and a golden phoenix phantom emerged—indeed, I am a phoenix.
"Get me Yun Yue's Lifeblood," I calmly instructed my fiancé Xuan Shuang, who turned and left without hesitation.
When Xuan Shuang returned with the Lifeblood, I discovered that Yun Yue was also a phoenix—how could this be?
As I sent Yun Yue away, she turned back with a cold smile: "You've been reborn too, haven't you? See you tomorrow, little Black Snake."
Yun Yue is also reborn?
My mind shattered. When I awoke in the cave, Feng Yan was urging me to go to Burning Moon Cliff while holding the Hundred Feather Skirt.
"No need," I replied with a faint smile and flew towards Burning Moon Cliff, avoiding the dragon clan's spiritual power infused by Father God, transforming into my True Form.
A massive phoenix soared into the sky, and the crowd cheered in excitement. However, they were stunned when the phoenix landed and transformed into a human—Yun Yue.
Yun Yue pointed at me and cruelly laughed, "Look at this princess of the Phoenix Clan, worshipped for thousands of years—what a despicable creature she truly is!"
As the golden light faded, I transformed into a Black Snake.
The Phoenix’s Sacred Fire surged towards me, engulfing me in flames. Yun Yue's voice echoed in my mind: "This time, do you still have a chance to be reborn?"
I laughed. In the flames, I seemed to see Mother’s gentle gaze and a glimmer of golden Dragon Scale…

The searing pain of the flames struck again, but I couldn't help but smirk inwardly. Yun Yue, do you think I'm still that Feng Luoluo you could manipulate at will?
The burning sensation gradually faded, and I opened my eyes again to see the intricately carved palace and the familiar Hundred Feather Skirt in my hands. It was Xiao Tao, looking at me with eager anticipation. The day of the coming-of-age ceremony had arrived once more.
"Princess, this is the sacred Hundred Feather Skirt of the Phoenix Clan. Please put it on; the auspicious time is approaching," Xiao Tao's voice trembled slightly, revealing her nervousness.
I took the Hundred Feather Skirt, my fingertips gliding over its intricate patterns. The fabric felt cool and smooth, yet it coiled around my heart like a venomous snake. "Let's change," I said calmly, betraying no emotion.
Xiao Tao carefully helped me into the Hundred Feather Skirt, its layers cascading like a blooming snow lotus.
Above Burning Moon Cliff, a golden phoenix shadow circled, while the clan members whispered among themselves, eagerly awaiting the coming-of-age ceremony of the Phoenix Clan's little princess.
I stood at the center of the altar, with Father God and the Golden Dragon Emperor flanking me on either side. Their expressions were filled with expectation and pride. I closed my eyes and followed the steps of the ritual from my past life.
Yun Yue stood among the crowd, dressed in pure white today, appearing exceptionally innocent and flawless.
She looked at me with a barely perceptible cold smile. I knew she was waiting to see me make a fool of myself, waiting to watch me transform into that lowly Black Snake.
As the ceremony reached its final step, I felt Father God and the Golden Dragon Emperor preparing to inject dragon clan spiritual power into me. According to the trajectory of my past life, this power would awaken my latent Black Snake Bloodline, forcing me to transform into a Black Snake before everyone's eyes.
I took a deep breath. At the moment when the spiritual power was about to be injected, I summoned the hidden strength of my Dragon Bloodline within me and actively guided Father God's power. A powerful force surged through my body, and golden light instantly enveloped the entire Burning Moon Cliff.
"Roar—"
A deafening dragon roar echoed through heaven and earth as a massive Five-Clawed Golden Dragon soared into the sky. Its golden scales shimmered in the sunlight, exuding an awe-inspiring presence that was impossible to ignore.
The crowd looked up in shock; instead of the anticipated phoenix shadow, a dazzling Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared! How could this be? The Phoenix Princess—how could she be of dragon lineage?
The Golden Dragon circled in the air a few times before slowly descending, its golden light dissipating. I stood before everyone once again, clad in the Hundred Feather Skirt. My expression was calm, but there was a hint of mockery in my eyes as I looked at Yun Yue.
Yun Yue's face turned pale; her meticulously crafted plan had been disrupted. I had been reborn and was no longer the pawn she could manipulate.
"What... what is happening?" The Golden Dragon Emperor gazed at me in disbelief, his voice trembling.
I smiled slightly, looking at the Golden Dragon Emperor, and spoke slowly, "Father God, I am not only the princess of the Phoenix Clan but also a child of the dragon race." I deliberately emphasized my words, my gaze sweeping over the shocked clansmen before finally resting on Yun Yue's face.
Yun Yue bit her lip tightly, her complexion shifting from white to green as her fists clenched so tightly that her nails nearly dug into her flesh. She had never anticipated that I could harness the power of the Dragon Bloodline, nor did she expect me to display such formidable strength during my coming-of-age ceremony.
I turned to face the clansmen, my voice clear and resolute: "I, Feng Luoluo, Phoenix Princess, will use my power to protect the Phoenix Clan and the dragon race." My voice resonated with undeniable authority.
Feng Yan stood nearby, his expression complex. He looked at me with eyes filled with shock, confusion, and perhaps even a hint of fear?
I walked down from the altar and paused beside Yun Yue. Leaning close to her ear, I whispered, "Yun Yue, you cannot defeat me." With that, I strode away, leaving Yun Yue standing alone, her face pale and her body trembling.
