Chapter 311: Submission?

"You're truly beautiful, my granddaughter. Let me take a closer look at you," Claudia, the Phoenix Empress, said softly, gesturing for Bella to crouch down.

Feeling a mix of embarrassment and pride, Bella knelt down to her grandmother's level, her transformation shimmering faintly as she moved.

The sight of a petite girl examining a fully grown woman like an elder was a comical yet heartwarming moment to onlookers, though none dared to laugh in the gravity of the situation.

Claudia gently touched Bella's face, her small fingers tracing over her features with a grandmother's tenderness. "Good, good," she murmured, nodding in satisfaction. "You also carry the Eternal Phoenix bloodline with pride. Your beauty may truly last a lifetime, my dear."
