Astoria's suitcase was so packed that she could hardly zip it shut.

Daphne finally stopped her organizing work after confirming that no necessities were missed.

She patted the suitcase gently, as if to say to it:

"Good job, old man."

Before leaving, Daphne gave Astoria a few more instructions, with a hint of reluctance and worry in her voice.

She knew this trip would mean a lot to Astoria, but she also knew the world outside was full of unknowns and challenges.

She hugged Astoria tightly before she opened the door and disappeared into the hallway outside.

Phoenix had originally planned to transform back into human form while Daphne was gone so he could better communicate with Astoria.

But at this moment, Astoria's action made him change his mind.

She tiptoed to the bed, bent down, and pulled out an inconspicuous little box from under the bed.

This action seemed a little mysterious, even a little nervous.

Astoria looked around carefully, after confirming that Daphne was indeed gone.

She then gently locked the door to ensure that no one would suddenly break in.

Her series of actions made Phoenix curious. He stared at the small box with questions in his mind.

Phoenix remembered that he and Astoria had lived together in the dormitory for so long but had never seen this little box.

It seemed to hold some secret, perhaps a personal treasure of Astoria's, or a precious memory she was unwilling to share.

Phoenix's curiosity was thoroughly aroused, and he decided to stay put for now and see what Astoria would do next.

Phoenix's heart was filled with anxiety and confusion. He couldn't help but start to think wildly and imagine all kinds of possible scenarios.

He worries that Astoria's past may hold secrets that he doesn't know about.

For example, a story about childhood sweethearts or an unmentioned love affair.

He imagined that Astoria had developed a deep emotional connection with someone special at the age of six.

Phoenix's thoughts became increasingly confused, and he began to wonder if he was being overly sensitive or if he was causing trouble for no reason.

His mood became anxious and uneasy, as if an invisible force was pushing him, making him involuntarily think of the worst.

His heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He wanted to know the truth, but he was also afraid that the truth would be unbearable.

As his emotions fluctuated, Phoenix felt a strong urge, an urge to destroy everything.

His heart seemed to be corroded by the power of darkness, and he felt that he was losing control.

His eyes became cold and sharp, as if they could penetrate everything and see the essence of things.

At this moment, Phoenix's Mangekyō Sharingan appeared unconsciously.

His eyes turned blood red, like the twinkling stars in the deep night sky.

This change made him look more mysterious and dangerous, and his eyes revealed an unearthly beauty that did not belong to this world.

The originally holy and beautiful White Phoenix now looked weird and scary because of the blood-red eyes.

Phoenix's heart was full of doubts. He originally thought that there would be some important secret hidden in the small box.

Perhaps a treasured memory of Astoria, or some mysterious magical item.

However, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and confused when he saw that what Astoria took out of the box was just a pair of ordinary black socks.

He remembered his past life, when he had just finished his college entrance exams and didn't know much about fashion and clothing.

In his impression, socks are just a part of daily wear and there is nothing special about them.

But as Astoria quickly put the sock on, Phoenix realized he might have underestimated its significance.

Astoria's entire demeanor seemed to change after she put on the socks.

Her legs looked longer and the black color of the socks formed a sharp contrast with her skin tone, adding a bit of mystery and temptation.

Phoenix felt the blood rush to his head, and he realized that he might have seen something he shouldn't have.

He quickly turned his head to the side, trying to calm himself.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

When he turned around again, Astoria was still admiring her new look in the mirror.

She seemed very satisfied with her choice, and the corners of her mouth rose from time to time, revealing a smug smile.

"Hehe, I really look good in this. I'm sure Phoenix will fall in love with me."

Astoria said to herself, a hint of mischief and anticipation in her voice.

She looked at herself carefully in the mirror, adjusting the position of her socks from time to time to make sure they fit perfectly on her legs.

Astoria seemed so pleased with the effect that she even began to fantasize about Phoenix's reaction when he saw her.

"It's just a little cold, and it shows too much, all the way up to the thighs."

Astoria pouted and said helplessly, she realized that the style of the socks might be bolder and sexier than she expected.

"If I hadn't read a novel about the Muggle world a few days ago, I wouldn't have known that boys would like this kind of thing."

Astoria continued to talk to herself, a hint of curiosity and exploration in her voice.

Phoenix listened quietly to Astoria's words as he began to realize.

Astoria's little secret may not be a big deal, but just an exploration and experimentation of her fashion and beauty.

He felt somewhat relieved, but also admired Astoria's bravery and confidence.

As Astoria whispered softly, Phoenix's eyes gradually returned from blood red to normal clarity.

He felt his heartbeat slowly calming down, and his emotions gradually settled down from the excitement just now.

He realized that his previous state was very abnormal, as if there was a force controlling his emotions, making him impulsive and out of control.

The first moment Phoenix came to his senses, he shook his head violently, his heart filled with surprise and uneasiness:

"No, it's definitely not right."

He talked to himself, trying to process what had just happened.

He felt that his emotions were completely out of his control, which made him very uneasy.

He began to think about how he might react if Astoria actually took out a souvenir with special significance.

Phoenix couldn't help but shudder. He couldn't imagine what extreme behavior he might do.

He shook his head again, trying to clear these horrible thoughts from his mind.

Phoenix calmed down and began to feel his mind carefully, trying to find out the reason for his out-of-control emotions just now.

He closed his eyes, concentrated, and tried to explore every corner of his mind.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he found no signs of anything unusual.

He was confused and frustrated, wondering why he had suddenly become so out of control.
