Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

In the hazy white mist, Di Huang opened her eyes and felt a splitting headache and fatigue. She struggled to prop up her heavy body and looked around. She found herself lying in a quiet cabin with a dense and lush forest outside the window.

Where is this? How did I get here? She felt confused and puzzled. The last moment, she was still in a magnificent battlefield, fighting fiercely with the enemy. She grabbed the last bit of strength, barely used her unique skills, fought back with all her strength, and finally won. But why did she suddenly lose consciousness at the moment of victory and come to this strange place?

Di Huang sat up with great effort, and at this moment, a clear voice sounded from behind her: "Girl, you're awake!" She turned her head and saw a young girl in a plain long dress standing by the bed with a gentle smile on her face.

"Where is this place? How did I get here?" Emperor Huang asked anxiously.

"This is Xiaolan Forest. I found you unconscious deep in the woods, so I brought you back here to rest temporarily. You have been unconscious for three whole days." The girl explained.

Three days? Di Huang was quite surprised. She vaguely remembered that she had exhausted her last strength in the fierce battle, but she didn't know why she suddenly lost consciousness. Could it be that she really died?

"Who are you? Why did you save me?"

"My name is Chu Xiaolan, and I'm the caretaker of this Xiaolan Forest. When I was patrolling the forest, I accidentally found you fainted in the bushes, covered in wounds, so I brought you back to take care of you. As for why I saved you, it was because I saw that you were so seriously injured and alone, and I really couldn't bear to watch you die." The girl spoke slowly, with a kind light in her eyes.

Di Huang was silent for a moment, unable to hide her gratitude. Although she was arrogant and cold, and never used to getting close to others, she couldn't help but say, "Thank you for your help. My name is Di Huang."

"Emperor Phoenix?" A trace of surprise flashed across the girl's eyes. "It sounds like you should be a very remarkable person. But I don't know you. What about the fierce battle you just mentioned?"

After a brief hesitation, Emperor Huang briefly told her about her experience. She was a goddess from the royal family of Shenzhou. In a fierce battle, she defeated a powerful enemy with her last bit of strength, but unfortunately she died. But to her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she was already in this unfamiliar forest.

"I see. It seems you have been through a fierce battle. It is not easy to escape from such a crisis. I am glad to have rescued you." Chu Xiaolan said gently, "If you are still weak now, take a good rest. It will not be too late to leave after you have recovered your strength. Where are you going?"

"Return to Shenzhou and find my subordinates and family as soon as possible." Emperor Huang said solemnly, "They must be worried about my disappearance. I must go back as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand. Then you should have a good rest. I will take care of you here." Chu Xiaolan said with a smile, "By the way, you were seriously injured in the battle. I have bandaged you, but you still need to rest more and recuperate. Are you hungry? I can prepare some simple food for you."

"Yes, thank you." Di Huang nodded, feeling the endless power in her body slowly recovering. She looked around curiously, "Where is this place?"

"This is Xiaolan Forest, a very special place. It is surrounded by dense forests and seems to be isolated from the world, but in fact there are many wonderful things in it. There are many rare spiritual herbs and monsters, as well as some magical opportunities. As the caretaker here, I will always pay attention to the changes in this forest." Chu Xiaolan said, while picking up a porcelain bowl from the table, "You drink some water first, I will prepare some simple meals for you."

Di Huang took the warm porcelain bowl and sipped the cool water, feeling her spirit and physical strength gradually recovering. She pondered over this magical "Xiaolan Forest" and vaguely guessed that there might be some unknown secrets here.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, followed by a clear and pleasant female voice: "Sister Xiaolan, are you there?"

"I'm inside, come in quickly." Chu Xiaolan shouted outside the door.

Soon, a girl in simple clothes pushed the door open, with a bit of innocence in her eyes. When she saw Di Huang lying on the bed, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently: "Sister Xiaolan, is this the injured girl you mentioned before?"

"Yes, this is Di Huang. Di Huang, this is my good friend, Tang Xiangxiang." Chu Xiaolan introduced the two.

"Hello, I'm Tang Xiangxiang. Nice to meet you." The girl bowed slightly with a friendly smile on her face.

"Hello." Di Huang nodded and looked Tang Xiangxiang up and down without leaving any trace. She found that this girl had a beautiful figure and a gentle demeanor, giving people a fresh and refined feeling.

"Xiangxiang, why did you come so early today?" Chu Xiaolan asked.

"It's like this. I went to the forest today to collect some rare spiritual herbs and wanted to bring them back for you. I heard that you are in need of these materials recently." Tang Xiangxiang took out a few green plants from the basket behind her and handed them to Chu Xiaolan.

"Great, this is exactly what I need. You've been a great help!" Chu Xiaolan happily took the spiritual herb, looked at it carefully, and her eyes flashed with sincere gratitude.

It seems that the relationship between these two girls is very close. Emperor Huang observed silently and nodded slightly.

"Then I won't bother you any more. I still have to go collect some other materials, please take good care of her." Tang Xiangxiang smiled at Chu Xiaolan, and turned her gaze to Di Huang lying on the bed, "I hope you can recover soon. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Okay, thank you, Xiangxiang. Take care on your way." Chu Xiaolan watched Tang Xiangxiang leave, turned around, and said gently to Di Huang: "She is a very good friend and takes good care of me. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to take good care of you by myself."

Di Huang nodded quietly, feeling a little admiration in her heart. These two ordinary-looking girls in front of her could actually create their own world in this deep forest, helping and caring for each other. This made her involuntarily develop a good impression on them.

"Are you hungry? I'll prepare some food right away. You should rest well here and don't force yourself." Chu Xiaolan said gently, then turned and left the hut.

Left alone in the house, Di Huang quietly pondered her situation. Now she was trapped in a strange world, having lost her subordinates and family, and she had no idea how strong the people around her were. Although her momentum had been greatly restored, it would take a long time for her to return to her original position.

At this moment, her eyes fell on a small wooden box at the bedside. Curiosity drove her to reach out and pick it up, gently opening the lid.

In the box lay a crystal stone, emitting a soft luster. Emperor Huang carefully examined the stone and felt that it contained a magical power. She subconsciously reached out to touch it, and the next moment, a powerful energy suddenly surged towards her, causing her to involuntarily take a breath of cold air.

At this moment, Chu Xiaolan's voice came from outside: "Di Huang, I'm back, are you okay?"

Di Huang quickly put down the crystal stone and pretended nothing happened. Chu Xiaolan pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bowl of hot soup in her hand.

"Come, drink some hot soup, it's good for your body." Chu Xiaolan handed the bowl to Di Huang and asked with concern, "Are you okay alone?"

"It's okay." Di Huang took the bowl and said gently: "I'm just a little sleepy. I just took a nap."

"That's good. Take your time drinking, I'll be here with you." Chu Xiaolan sat down beside the bed and looked at Di Huang with concern.

Di Huang scooped up a spoonful of hot soup and drank it slowly. The warm liquid flowed down her throat into her stomach, making her feel relaxed both physically and mentally. She couldn't help but look at the gentle and kind girl in front of her, and suddenly an indescribable feeling of gratitude surged in her heart.

After a long time, when Emperor Huang fell asleep peacefully, Chu Xiaolan gently stood up, tiptoed to the head of the bed, and opened the small wooden box again. She stared at the crystal inside, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Emperor Huang, it seems that your arrival may bring different changes to this forest." She whispered to herself, then carefully closed the box and left the cabin.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, under the care of Chu Xiaolan and Tang Xiangxiang, Di Huang gradually recovered from her injuries and regained most of her strength. She gradually became familiar with this unfamiliar Xiaolan Forest and established a good relationship with these two kind girls.

One afternoon, Di Huang was walking alone in the forest when she heard a noisy sound coming from the front. She followed the sound and saw a group of people in gray clothes fighting fiercely with several white-clothed warriors. The two sides fought hard, and the clash of swords made a series of clanging sounds.

Emperor Huang hid behind a tree cautiously, observing the battle carefully. He saw the group of people in gray clothes dodging and moving swiftly, looking like they were running away from someone. The warriors in white clothes were fierce and powerful, obviously chasing them.

What was going on? Were there some criminals hiding in this deep forest? Emperor Huang frowned and was about to leave, but suddenly he saw a warrior in white swinging his sword at a fleeing man in gray.

"Be careful!" Emperor Huang shouted loudly subconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray-clothed man turned around abruptly, quickly grabbed a thin wooden stick on the ground with his right hand, and accurately blocked the sword of the white-clothed warrior. The two men faced each other with swords drawn, their eyes full of vigilance and planning.

The warrior in white snorted coldly and swung his sword again. The man in gray dodged skillfully and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

Emperor Huang's eyes widened in surprise. It turned out that the gray-clothed man's martial arts were so strong that he could compete with the well-trained white-clothed warriors. It seemed that his intervention just now was not in vain.

At this moment, the other two white-robed warriors also noticed the movement here and rushed over. The gray-robed man saw this and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but soon regained his composure. He waved his right hand, and a black light suddenly flashed and quickly flew in the direction of Emperor Phoenix.

It seems that she has been discovered! Di Huang didn't have time to think about it and immediately dodged sideways. With a loud "bang", the tree trunk was smashed to pieces and the leaves fell one after another. She was shocked and secretly admired the strength of the gray-clothed man.

While the white-robed warrior was temporarily blocked by the black light curtain, the gray-robed man quickly made a decision and headed in the opposite direction.
