Chapter 1599: Conditions

A fingernail-sized, red-gold totem instantly appeared on Tuan Zi’s smooth and fair forehead.
The golden light was dazzling. It made her chubby and fair face look even more exquisite and cute.
Although Tuan Zi was round and smooth from head to toe, she was actually very good-looking, especially her facial features.
When she grew a little older, she would definitely be a cute little person with picturesque features.
Now that there was a golden patch between her eyebrows, it added to her noble aura.!!
When everyone saw Tuan Zi previously, their first reaction was that she was cute and likable; they wanted to walk over and rub her face. But now that they saw her again, they would definitely not have such thoughts again.
Of course, they still liked her. However, she had gained a hint of nobility, making people subconsciously revere her.
Tuan Zi raised her hand and touched her glabella. It was hot and a little scorching, but… Her entire body felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring, and it was very comfortable.
She thought for a moment, then reached out and tapped forward.
The transparent barrier—which was previously filled with shocking pressure—immediately dissipated silently and transformed into specks of light. They drew an arc in the air and finally surged into Tuan Zi’s body.
Her lotus leaf dress seemed to shine even brighter.
Tuan Zi smiled happily and ran toward Chu Liuyue. This time, there was no barrier to stop her, and she quickly rushed in front of the latter.
“A’Yue!” She threw herself onto Chu Liuyue’s lap, looked up, and excitedly said, “A’Yue, look! My dress seems to have become prettier!”
Chu Liuyue: “…”
The crowd was speechless. You summoned the Ancestral Soul and fused with the clan’s totem, but this is the first thing you thought of?!
Chu Liuyue resisted the urge to rub her temples and bent down to look at Tuan Zi.
The two of them stared at each other.
“Tuan Zi.” Chu Liuyue reached out and pointed between her fiend’s eyebrows. “What… is this?”
Tuan Zi shook her head. “I don’t know. It flew over on its own.”
Then she touched it again. “I don’t think I can get rid of it.”
The crowd was speechless. Too much—this is too much! What kind of glory is this? If it were anyone else, they would’ve been grateful. Only you—you actually want to get rid of it?!
Some people began to roll their eyes in agitation.
Some gritted their teeth, hating themselves for not having such luck.
In short, the atmosphere became very strange.
“That’s the Ancestral Soul.” Yi Zhao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and finally spoke in a low voice.
Chu Liuyue looked up at him in confusion. Ancestral Soul? That’s…
“Back when our ancestor died and left for the heavens, he left a soul behind. It was our family’s ultimate treasure. All these years, it will only be summoned when the successive clan leaders take over.”
Yi Zhao looked at Tuan Zi with a complicated gaze. “But… this has never happened before.”
Not only did the Ancestral Soul appear this time, but it also landed between Tuan Zi’s eyebrows and became her totem.
What did this mean? It was obvious!
Chu Liuyue was also shocked. In that case, the red-gold totem that suddenly appeared is actually more powerful than I expected. Yi Zhao said that it would only be summoned when every clan leader took over. Then, Tuan Zi—
The key is that this thing is still stuck to Tuan Zi. What should I do?!
Even someone as mentally strong as her was a little stunned.
This should’ve… already exceeded the scope of discussion for the position of young master…
Yi Zhao paused and finally said, “This is important. Come with me.”
…
The ancestral ceremony was forcefully interrupted halfway.
In the square outside Godly Phoenix Hall, everyone gathered in groups of three to five to discuss something. Without exception, their gazes were all directed at the Godly Phoenix Hall ahead.
The front door was closed, and the atmosphere was solemn.
“It’s been 15 minutes. I wonder what’s going on inside…”
“What else? She has the purest bloodline and opened her meridians consecutively… Now, even the Ancestral Soul has been summoned by her. What else can be said? Anyway, I’m convinced.”
“That’s why things are troublesome! If the Ancestral Soul hadn’t come out, they could just leave if they wanted to. Things are different now. Even if they want to leave, the clan leader and the elders won’t agree, right?”
“Hmph, how can the clan leader and the elder speak this time? The Ancestral Soul has been summoned and even directly fused into Tuan Zi’s body. This can only prove that this is the ancestral will! How can the clan leader and the others dare to disobey?”
Many people fell silent. No matter what they thought, it was the truth.
The Ancestral Soul symbolized the highest status of the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan.
After today, Tuan Zi’s identity became sensitive.
This was almost equivalent to being appointed by their ancestors. Who would dare to say no?
However, the most troublesome thing was that there was still a contract between her and Shangguan Yue.
Everyone wondered what the outcome would be after today.
…
Godly Phoenix Hall was silent and solemn.
Same place, same people.
For a moment, the scene of her first time entering with Tuan Zi quickly flashed across Chu Liuyue’s mind.
At that time, they had been like fish on a chopping board, almost at the mercy of others. If she wanted to talk to the other party as an equal, she had to threaten him with her life.
But in just a month, the situation had completely reversed! Now, it was her and Tuan Zi who had the upper hand.
Yi Zhao and the others were silent for a long time as if they didn’t know what to say.
Chu Liuyue did not say anything and just waited quietly. Anyway, she wasn’t the one who was anxious.
Tuan Zi was the most relaxed.
After the totem landed between her eyebrows, it quickly hid, so she didn’t care anymore. She just obediently nestled in Chu Liuyue’s arms, hugged her neck, and leaned against her intimately, rubbing her face from time to time.
After another long while, Tuan Zi finally couldn’t help but say, “A’Yue, I’m so sleepy—”
She rubbed her eyes and mumbled coquettishly. “When are we leaving?”
As she spoke, she even snuggled deeper into Chu Liuyue’s arms. “Let’s go! Let’s go home!”
When Yi Zhao and the others saw this scene, their expressions changed quickly to incredulous ones!
At the thought that the Ancestral Soul was now in Tuan Zi’s body and that she was still acting cute in the arms of a human, the few big shots—who had lived for a thousand years and seen countless storms—suddenly felt their hearts turn bad.
Yi Zhao suppressed the countless emotions in his heart and took a deep breath before looking at Chu Liuyue. “Name your condition.”
Chu Liuyue was dazed. “What?”
Yi Zhao said, “Since Tuan Zi has already been appointed by our ancestor, she will be our clan’s young mistress from today onward. When she becomes an adult, she will automatically inherit the position of clan leader. In the future, you will also be an esteemed guest of our family. We will try our best to satisfy any requests. However, please break the contract with Tuan Zi.”
