I Transmigrated As A Three-Year-Old Villain With A Redemption System?! - Chapter 14:

Chapter 14: Bi-You Phoenix Hound

Madam Hua smiled. “Yes, this is your future husband. Remember him now so you don’t forget later.”

Xi Yaoyue also smiled, but gently said, “The children are still young. Isn’t it a bit early to talk about this?”

Madam Hua replied earnestly, “A senior’s word must not be disobeyed.”

“Our ancestors arranged this marriage generations ago, and we’ve delayed it for far too long.”

“Now that you have a son and I have a daughter, we must fulfill it.”

Xi Yaoyue had no objections to this marriage. The Bai family held a duke’s rank, one level above the Su family’s marquisate.

Bai Qiluo was also lively and clever, a child adored by everyone. There was no reason to refuse.

Still, Xi Yaoyue felt that such things should consider Su Yun’s opinion. “But Yun’er and Luor’er are meeting for the first time. They might not get along…”

“No buts!” Madam Hua waved her handkerchief with authority. “Parents decide, matchmakers confirm.”

“We set the match. What can the children do to refuse?”

“Luor’er, don’t you agree?”

“Husband… can I eat him?” Bai Qiluo blinked her large, sparkling eyes.

“You can’t!” Madam Hua burst into laughter. Then her eyes rolled playfully. “Well, not necessarily…”

“Hey hey hey!” Xi Yaoyue hurriedly tried to cover someone’s mouth or someone else’s ears. “Don’t say inappropriate things in front of the kids!”

Madam Hua laughed even harder.

Xi Yaoyue sighed but smiled again when she looked at the two children.

Well, they were both gorgeous little ones.

If they grew up together, they’d surely get along well.

There was plenty of time ahead. They could wait ten or so years before making a real decision.

Bai Qiluo’s eyes lit up when she heard she could eat him. “Then I want the husband!”

She staggered forward to hug Su Yun.

The hug was secondary—she opened her little cherry lips and bit down!

Su Yun’s face was quickly covered in baby drool from her teething bite. He pushed her away in disgust.

But the little doll clung back onto him, chomping, “Husband, you smell so nice!”

Who would’ve thought that the future Holy Phoenix Empress—whose single drop of blood could grant immortality to billions—was now like a clingy band-aid?

Su Yun thought to himself, “Bai Qiluo’s fate… wasn’t good in the plot.”

In the novel, the Su and Bai families had arranged the marriage for Su Yun.

But after he was poisoned with Chaotic Poison and lost his ability to cultivate, the Su family, under pressure, transferred the engagement to Xiao Qingchen.

If it were a normal novel, that’d be fine. But this was a “clean” plot—the male lead didn’t even hold a woman’s hand by the end!

Bai Qiluo couldn’t be touched—only used.

Because she acknowledged Su Yun as her husband when she was young, she refused to accept Xiao Qingchen.

Even after Su Yun fell into darkness, she remained loyal.

In the end, when her spirit faltered, Xiao Qingchen ambushed her.

She was captured, sealed, and had her blood drained daily through formations to cultivate death soldiers.

“Whether this marriage works out or not…” Su Yun’s small eyes rolled around, “I can’t let Bai Qiluo be suppressed.”

“Getting a few drops of her blood to create undying guards to protect Mother wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

Just then, a sharp voice pierced the hall. “Husband? Who decided that?”

A group of people walked into the hall.

They dragged chairs and shifted tables, making a noisy scene that shattered the morning’s peace.

Madam Hua, noble and refined, disliked such crudeness. “Who are you people?”

Chi Yanyun sat boldly, peeling a grape and feeding it to Xiao Qingchen. “I’m here on behalf of the Su family to finalize the marriage with the Bai family!”

Madam Hua frowned. “On behalf of the Su family?”

“Exactly!” Chi Yanyun pointed at her son. “This is Qingchen, heir of the Su family.”

“The marriage between the Bai and Su families should naturally be fulfilled by my son.”

“Not by some outsider with no relation to the Su family!”

Xiao Qingchen raised his chin proudly—but when he saw the delicate little girl clinging to Su Yun’s shoulder, trying to bite him…

And Su Yun actually looked disgusted and kept pushing her away…

His eyes burned with rage, and his teeth clenched tightly.

That’s my wife!

How dare you touch her!

Madam Hua gasped, recalling something.

About a month ago, something had happened in the Su estate. Something about retrieving a child.

She hadn’t looked into it much—but now it all made sense.

Chi Yanyun rolled her eyes. “That Su Yun over there has nothing to do with the Su family.”

“Madam, if you let your daughter marry someone who’s not a Su by blood, that’s what would truly violate the marriage pact and disgrace both families!”

“Even the matriarch would say the same when she returns!”

Madam Hua looked at Xi Yaoyue in surprise. “Madam Xi, is this true?”

Xi Yaoyue stared coldly at Chi Yanyun but replied to Madam Hua. “Su Yun is my son.”

Madam Hua might seem casual, but she was sharp.

She understood immediately.

One adopted, one born.

In Xi Yaoyue’s heart, both were her children.

For her, as long as her son fulfilled the engagement, it was enough.

But Madam Hua had more to consider.

She hesitated. She’d only come today after hearing Su Yun had been in danger, just to check in.

Now that she saw he was fine, jumping around, she’d just started to relax when new complications arose.

Madam Hua decided this required further thought—but she didn’t want to embarrass Xi Yaoyue.

She said instead, “Ah, it’s their first time meeting. Let the children play together.”

“They’ll get to know each other. The rest can be discussed later.”

Xi Yaoyue withdrew her cold gaze and looked at Su Yun. “Yun’er, take your sister out to play.”

Chi Yanyun scoffed. “Qingchen, you go too.”

“Oh!” She suddenly raised her voice. “Meeting your future bride for the first time, you should have a gift.”

“Otherwise, it shows no respect.”

Before her words even finished, Xiao Qingchen produced a prepared brocade box and offered it to Bai Qiluo.

“This is Dragon Blood Grass—a heaven-grade treasure.”

“Each stalk takes a thousand years to grow. It’s incredibly rare.”

“It condenses the brilliance of the stars. Consuming it purifies the body, enhances bloodlines, and may even offer a glimpse of the Ancestor’s Dao!”

“This humble gift is for you.”

Xiao Qingchen puffed up, reciting his lines with a bit of a stutter.

As the box opened, the fiery red herb shimmered with brilliance, releasing a rich fragrance that filled the room.

Bai Qiluo had still been clinging to Su Yun, ready to bite.

But upon seeing the spirit herb, she let go immediately and turned her chubby face toward the box.

She gulped. Her eyes screamed: I want it I want it I want it I want it!

Xiao Qingchen smiled, satisfied, and glanced to the side.

Lin Ying’er stood behind the table, having changed her face with secret arts. She looked supremely confident.

She knew Bai Qiluo’s physique was special, and the Dragon Blood Grass perfectly complemented her. It would help her awaken her bloodline.

In their past life, Bai Qiluo only acquired it as an adult, which led to her rapid rise.

This time, Lin Ying’er had planned it early—while Bai Qiluo was still a child, she’d seize and control her.

Whether for drawing spiritual essence or extracting blood, she was worth it.

Madam Hua gasped. “This… this is too valuable.”

“Ai, it’s for my future daughter-in-law,” Chi Yanyun said smugly. “What, did someone forget to bring a gift?”

“That would be awfully selfish—not worthy of a marriage alliance!”

She still held a grudge over the Sacred Bone being taken.

If you stole my bone, I’ll steal your bride!

Xi Yaoyue frowned. She had to admit, she’d been caught unprepared.

Madam Hua had come early, and she hadn’t had time to prepare anything.

Anything rushed out now would be ordinary at best. It couldn’t compare to a carefully chosen Dragon Blood Grass.

Still, they couldn’t give nothing.

Xi Yaoyue sighed. “Qingwen, go and fetch—”

Patter patter.

A small black creature darted past the doorway.

[Ding!]

Su Yun heard a chime by his ear.

[After falling into darkness, you killed Bai Qiluo’s beloved pet to force her to leave your side.]

[Unbeknownst to you, it was the last Bi-You Phoenix Hound in existence. Its bloodline ended with its death.]

[From the beginning of time, the Phoenix Ancestor… to the end of time, the Holy Phoenix Empress… carried their resentment and cursed you.]

[From then on, all who touch the Dao would become your enemies.]

[To redeem yourself, you must reconstruct and revive a complete Bi-You Phoenix Hound from its scattered bloodline.]

[And return it to the Holy Phoenix Empress.]

[Mission Difficulty: Supreme]

[Mission Reward: Heart of the Blazing Sun]

“Uh.” Su Yun froze.

In the novel, even after he fell, Bai Qiluo never abandoned him.

To force her away, Su Yun killed her pet of a hundred years.

When he returned to that land, he discovered countless undead had emerged from the spilled dog blood.

Only then did he realize—it had ancient blood, it was a Bi-You Phoenix Hound, the companion beast of the Nirvana Physique.

Those undead had inherited degraded blood, and with the world shattered, had scattered across countless realms.

To gather those creatures, purify their blood, and reconstruct a single Phoenix Hound…

That was like trying to make a chip out of a pile of sand—with stored data, no less.

“No wonder the difficulty is ‘Supreme,’” Su Yun nodded. “But…”

Huff huff!

A little black dog happily ran into the room.

It frolicked by Bai Qiluo’s feet, looked around, then fixed its shiny eyes on Su Yun—full of curiosity.

“But…” Su Yun grumbled, “At this point in time, the Bi-You Phoenix Hound is still alive!”

He bent down, picked up the pup, and held it in front of Bai Qiluo. “Here. This is my gift—for you.”

[Ding!]

[Mission Complete!]
