Today, she would be able to awaken her spirit body. Spiritual power would flow through her veins, and her body would then condense a spirit core. The spirit core was the condensation of her spiritual power. After that, she would be able to summon her first life spirit beast!

As long as her life spirit beast was strong enough, coupled with her regenerative ability, she would definitely be able to escape!

However, at this moment, a few of Empress Cao Zhihong’s personal maidservants suddenly walked over and brought her away, as if they were carrying garbage.

“Heh, still thinking of escaping? Did you think that you would be able to awaken your spirit body today and summon your life spirit beast and escape? In your dreams!”

One of the maidservants gave her a kick and even spat on her.

The girl’s heart turned cold. They actually remembered that today was her birthday? Could she still escape?

The girl was brought into the secret underground room and tied to a pillar.

“Mother, if she dies like this, we’d be letting her off too lightly! We should cut off her limbs to make flower fertilizer, and then remove her tongue and put it in a jar. When she grows more limbs, we’ll continue to cut them off to make flower fertilizer. The last time I used her limbs as fertilizer for the camellia, it bloomed beautifully. Brother Qingfeng even asked me how I cultivated it…” Shi Xunmei said with a happy smile.

“Xunmei, we can’t allow her to live past eighteen. We mustn’t let her pose even the slightest threat to you!” Empress Cao Zhihong’s voice was firm.

“Today is also the day that you will awaken your spirit body. Didn’t I tell you to go back and prepare?”

“To help you to awaken the best spirit body, I’ve prepared a medicinal bath for you. I’ve added all kinds of natural treasures into it. You’re not allowed to waste it. Go back and soak in it!”

“I understand, mother.”

Just as Shi Xunmei was about to leave, she realized that the girl who was tied to the pillar suddenly started undergoing some changes.

Red flames appeared around the girl’s body!

“This is…” Cao Zhihong’s voice was filled with fear and ecstasy.

“She actually awakened a phoenix bone! I see now… that’s why she possessed such regenerative abilities. It’s no wonder when she was born, all of the beasts worshiped her. It was actually a sign of the rebirth of a phoenix!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Zhihong’s facial expression turned ecstatic. She smiled and said, “A phoenix bone is hard to come by in a thousand years. It’s a symbol of immortality. Only the most honorable lady of the royal family of the Canglan Kingdom can awaken it!”

Shi Xunmei was dumbfounded.

“Mother, how could this be? Then, I…”

Cao Zhihong touched Shi Xunmei’s face and comforted her.

“On the day you were born, the people all believed that the one the beasts were worshiping was you. They also believed that your spirit body would be the greatest. Now is the time to prove it to the world! The phoenix bone is naturally yours!”

Shi Xunmei was confused and did not know how to react.

“Mother?”

The next second, Cao Zhihong said, “Go. Her phoenix bone is attached to her spine. Dig out her spine with your own two hands and make it yours. Mother will protect you and help you to transplant the phoenix bone!”

Hearing this, Shi Xunmei finally understood. With a fanatical look on her face, she grabbed a sharp knife and stabbed it into the girl’s skin and flesh without hesitation. She broke her bones, carved out her flesh, and dug out the blood-red phoenix bone…

“I… will… definitely… kill… you… all! I’ll take revenge for me and my mother!”

Cao Zhihong mocked her, “Speaking of which, your b*tch of a mother died an easier death than you. I dumped her at a peasant army camp the moment she gave birth to you. Some of those peasant soldiers had never even seen a woman in their entire lives…”

As Cao Zhihong spoke, she used her sharp fingernails to claw out a trail of blood on the girl’s face. Her tone of voice was cruel, “I saw with my own eyes how that b*tch died atop a man’s bed. Her eyes were wide open, and she could not even cry for help. In the end, she became a used doll, and I fed her corpse to the beasts.”

The girl trembled with anger and tears of blood flowed from her eyes. She suddenly bit off Cao Zhihong’s finger!

“Argh! B*tch!” Cao Zhihong did not expect her to still possess the strength to resist! She slapped her, and then a golden core condensed by her spiritual power fell out.

“A phoenix egg! Quickly, bring it over!” Cao Zhihong no longer cared about her finger that had been bitten off.

Shi Xunmei was overjoyed. She would now be the proud owner of the phoenix bone, and her life spirit beast would be a phoenix! The phoenix was the king of the myriad beasts!

The girl’s spine had already been dug out and her entire body had lost its structural support. She was like a bag of meat paste. She reached out unwillingly, but could only watch as her phoenix bone was dug out and her phoenix spirit beast was snatched away.

“Throw her into the demons’ territory and let the demonic beasts eat her!” Cao Zhihong ordered.

The girl’s body was limp, and blood was flowing non-stop from her back. She was dragged out of the entrance of the underground room and brought over to the border of the demons’ territory, the Abyss realm, which was filled with gloomy demonic energy. The maidservants did not even dare to breathe loudly around this place. There were some strange demonic beasts in the Abyss realm, and ordinary people could only enter but not leave.
