Accompanying the Phoenix-Chapter 44.1

Chapter 44.1

Chapter 44 . 1

In the nine-fold sky, the clouds are overflowing with color . The Heavenly Emperor in the Tianjun Temple is shaking his head and sighing . Someone knocked softly on the door, and the waiter outside whispered: “Emperor, the High God is here . ”

“Please, please, let him enter ” The Emperor got up to welcome him . When Xing Zhi walked in, he clasped his fists and bowed, “High god has been away for a long time . ”

Xing Zhi lightly smiled and replied: “Even outside the door, I could still hear the emperor sigh and sigh, can the emperor be upset?”

The emperor smiled . “The heavens are stable and comfortable . Only the abnormal movement of the lower realms can make people a little more vigilant . What else could possibly happen? . ”

The emperor led the way into the room and pointed to the jade on the table . He said: “I sighed like this today because I saw a jade cup at Tianyuan Xianjun a few days ago . I was overjoyed . I wanted to find a cup and exchange it with Tian Yuan Jun, but he loved the cup very much . He refused to exchange with me . ” The Emperor sighed as if he was very sad .

When he stopped, he smiled slightly without words . Compared with the demon’s world, the days in heaven were really comfortable .

“I don’t know what to do, I really loved that jade cup but I can’t ask for it now . It’s really regrettable . If I force Tian Yuan to give me, I’ll lose my face, it is really distressing . ”

“If it’s not meant to be, naturally you should let it go”

This was originally words of comfort to the Emperor, but as soon as he said the words, Xing Zhi himself bowed his eyebrows, and inadvertently pulled out his lips in an Inexplicable arc, three-point coolness, seven-point self-deprecating, “It won’t be good to lose control . ”

The emperor also shook his head and smiled: “I have lived for so long, always telling myself to be pure-hearted, this is the first time I encountered something I like . No matter, this encounter, I cannot control it, it is just a hopeless situation . ”

“Yes . ” Xing Zhi responded a little distracted . Unable to let it go, he finally gave up his heart, but he was unwilling . Heh…the purer, the more persistent…” He shook his head and laughed, “The emperor’s problem, I myself don’t have the answer . ”

The emperor took a look at Xing Zhi:

“This…what kind of thing did you want to see in the lower realm?”

Xing Zhi smiled quietly, and the emperor hurriedly said,

“This can’t be done, if the High God has this kind of thoughts, that’s a disaster for the Three Realms!”[1]

Xing Zhi stopped looking down: “The emperor is worrying too much . ”

The emperor was relieved, “It should be that I worry too much . Since ancient times, the purity of the High God is unmatched by the immortals today . ”

Xing Zhi smiled and changed the subject:

“I’m here to find the emperor to tell you something . ”

Xing Zhi told the Emperor of Fu Rong’s actions in the demon world, and the emperor turned blue when he heard it, he immediately ordered people to go to Jiang Fu to fetch Fu Rong .

When Fu Rong arrived and saw Xing Zhi, he knew that he was in trouble so he tried to leave, but the emperor already started talking .

“The Hundred Flowers Banquet will be held soon . If the gods return to the sky outside the sky, would be troublesome, so it is better to stay here for a while . ”

Xing Zhi pondered and nodded his head and said: “Alright, I haven’t visited my old friends for a long time . ”

Jun Fu Rong was punished to kneel .

He kneeled there on the long steps in front of the Tianjun Hall for nine days and nine nights, the cold jade steps in front of the Tianjun Hall were too cold .

It looked beautiful, but after kneeling on, he could not see the beauty of it . Jun knelt and fainted and woke up, he passed out and woke up a few times, confessed his mistake until his voice was hoarse .

In the end, his parents went to intercede for him along with his brothers . The emperor only slightly calmed down and sent him back to his house .

Since then, Jun Fu Rong has written down the hatred for Xing Zhi, but the gap between them is too big, he can’t get revenge anyhow, he can only hate him .

Before his body could recover, Fu Rong heard the news that Shen Li of the Demon Realm was coming to the Banquet on behalf of the Demon Lord . The Heavenly Emperor had the same idea as the Demon Lord and arranged for Shen Li to stay in Fu Rong’s yard . The intention was to let the two start a relationship . What else can they do? If Shen Li doesn’t take advantage of this to kill him, then thank God!

Thinking about this, Fu Rong was awake all night with sorrow, and sighed constantly, making the people around him unhappy .

However, no matter how sad Fu Rong was, it couldn’t prevent the disaster, and Shen Li finally came .

The gatekeeper knew that the Azure Sky King had arrived at the Southern Heaven Gate alone so he sent someone to hurriedly inform the heavenly emperor . After a long time, the envoy came to lead Shen Li .

The emperor leisurely said a few words, and asked about the situation of the Demon Realm, soon after he told his servant to take Shen Li to Fu Rong’s mansion .

Shen Li has never visited the heavens before .

Although she has heard of the beauty of it, she didn’t expect that such a beautiful place could exist in this world .

There is an amiable mist everywhere, auspicious cranes passing by, and she could occasionally hear the sound of the fairy piano and smell the sweet fragrance of flowers .

Shen Li followed the messenger through the heavens, rubbing shoulders with the fairies who were walking with them, feeling the soft fabric of their gorgeous dresses occasionally blowing in the wind, leaving a soft fragrance on her nose .

Before reaching Fu Rong Monarch’s mansion, Shen Li didn’t say a word, thinking of the people of the Demon Realm in her heart, her eyes were a little gloomy .

“Greeting the King . ” The servant of the Fu Rong’s mansion immediately went out to greet her,

“Royal Highness forgive me, my master recently … uh, suffered a penalty, he is recuperating right now, so he couldn’t come personally to greet you . ”

Shen Li could guess the cause and effect without thinking so she nodded: “It’s okay, let Fu Rong Jun rest well . ”

It doesn’t matter, she thought, this is also good, this way, she doesn’t have to see him and make her mood worse .

Seeing that Shen Li was so good at talking, the little servant raised his head and glanced at Shen Li boldly .

He thought he would be a fierce female looking like a sturdy man, but he didn’t expect to be just a girl who dressed a little like a man .

He was slightly startled and blinked for a while . He quickly recovered and led Shen Li into the house: “King, enters the mansion first, your residence and people to serve you have already been arranged for you . ”

Shen Li nodded, and entered the mansion

Jun Fu Rong made arrangements . Her servant was a very smart girl, her big eyes blinking and blinking was very pleasing .

But Shen Li was a person who had experienced countless times on the battlefield, and she was born with a keen sense, she could easily sense the hostility from others .

No matter how concealed the little girl’s eyes, Shen Li still noticed her bad intentions immediately .

She didn’t take it to heart . From the moment the gatekeeper guard saw her when she arrived at the heavens, the look she received was not quite right .

People here seemed jealous, or disdainful, or contemptuous, Shen Li knew that these were not for her personally, but only because she was a demon .

She was even a little grateful . Fortunately, she was the one who came to this banquet, not the Demon Lord .

Just thinking that the Demon Lord would be treated like this in the heavens, Shen Li felt unspeakable anger .

Shen Li only thought that the little girl who came to serve her was the same as other immortal gods, prejudiced against demons, but she never thought that in that same night she would taste that malice in her own food .

The big-eyed girl was waiting by her side . Shen Li took a bite, swallowed it into her stomach, and then took another bite casually:

“Does Heaven also sell poison?” She chewed something in her mouth, her tone was flat, “It’s a pity but I think the person who bought this will lose money . ”

The big-eyed girl was startled, her face paled, and she turned her head and ran outside .

But before her foot crossed the threshold, a silver light shot down in front of her eyes, and she heard a “clang” sound, the furious silver spear was inserted in front of the girl, she gasped with fright, her legs weakened and she fell straight in the ground .

“The person who dares to poison this king actually only has this much courage . ”

Shen Li was still eating her food leisurely, “The heavens really raise stupid things . ”

“Why are you here? How can you be worth of Lord Fu Rong? Such a despicable Demon!”

These words really struck at Shen li’s nerves . She put down her chopsticks, laughed angrily for a long time, thinking that there was too many ways to refute this girl, but instead she just said:

“Since you like Lord Fu Rong so much, let’s go to the emperor’s palace together to make things clear, and ask him to grant a marriage for you and Lord Fu Rong, since you are the one who deserves him . ”

TL/comment: I understand why Heavenly Emperor would want this marriage, but why would the Demon Lord think this is good? After she marries, first she will be miserable, second, she would be suppressed there for sure, and the Demon Lord will lose a powerful general . But I’m sensing a plot twist that will explain that . I didn’t read ahead so I guess we will find out . Till the next one!

[1] So, here, what i could infer was that all this thing with the Jade cup was a way of Heavenly Emperor hint to Xing Zhi that he could not act on Shen Li . That’s why this sentence was kinda left in the open, like they were talking about it from the start, so when the emperor asked why he stayed in the lower realm, the reasoning just became more evident . The first part seems pretty obvious, but that sentence was a little strange, like after all that metaphor he just directly asked Xing Zhi… so whats the point ? Maybe he was playing dumb? idk, but now i dislike this emperor even more, please stop pushing your dumb grandson on the MC!
