Accompanying the Phoenix-Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Chapter 59 . 1

The hug was too real and the heartbeat was too crazy . Shen Li was shocked by her own heartbeat .

She tried hard to stop, but she almost tripped over the fishing net behind her .

He sighed: “So reckless if you fall into the water, who do you have to rely on to save you?”

As soon as he said that, he stopped for a moment . He turned his head and coughed unnaturally, but Shen Li seemed to have not heard what he said .

She only looked down at the treasure in the boat and said, “Can I choose for myself ?”

Xing Zhi looked at Shen Li’s profile with some surprise, and then softened his gaze: “Well, if you can find something you like, I will give it to you . ”

Shen Li looked at the clamshells in his hand . Although she had been in the heavens for a short time, she already knew that Xing Zhi was a person who never accepted gifts .

Picking up one or two from the Dragon King was meant to give the Dragon King a face . , But if he accepts it all, it holds a different meaning .

Shen Li didn’t respond to him but just buried her head in search for a while . In a boat of jewels, there was only one white round stone that looked a little more rustic . Shen Li picked it up and said, “It looks like this stone is just right . I want it, and everything else is up to you . ”

Xing Zhi nodded: “I’ll change the pearls for a few fish, and then let’s go home for dinner . ”

The two climbed up the wooden trestle and stopped . They were looking for someone to exchange the pearls, but Xin Zhi just said a few words to an honest fisherman, and a strange voice came from beside him:

“This little brother is fishing for clamshells again . ” The person stepped forward . He glared fiercely at the honest fisherman . The fish in the fisherman’s hand was about to be handed over to Xing Zhi .

When he glared at the fisherman, the fisherman shrank his hand, but the man still pushed him directly and said in disgust, “Go go, you greedy thing is blocking Lao Tzu’s way . ”

The fisherman hurriedly took the fish, gave a look of apology to Xing Zhi, and then left quickly .

The gaze of Xing Zhi then slowly fell on the person, he smiled calmly, and saw him lifting the belt of his pants, saying:

“I guess you don’t know who I am . I’m the eldest son of the village chief, Wang Bao . I see that my little brother [TL/NOTE :he is referring to Xing Zhi here in a close way] exchanges mussel shells for fish every day . I think you don’t like mussel shells . It just so happens that there is a lot of fish in my place . You can trade with me . These mussel shells here and those on your boat, Give it to me . ”

“No . ” Xing Zhi said indifferently, “I want to throw it away . ”

He was really telling the truth, but in Wang Bao’s ears, another meaning emerged . His voice was slightly raised: “Bold! I am the eldest son of the village chief! Why did you want to throw away those treasures and refused to give them to me!? Do you have an opinion about me? If you have an opinion about me, you have an opinion about the village chief! Be careful, I can destroy you . ”

Shen Li behind him squinted her eyes . She couldn’t see the guy who bullied Xing Zhi, but she just wanted to scold him, Xing Zhi pulled her hand as if he didn’t see the arrogant and domineering person in front of him, he pulled Shen Li and left .

Wang Bao was furious, and stood in front of Xing Zhi blocking his passage:

“Stop! Didn’t you hear this uncle talking to you?!” As soon as his voice fell, his gaze happened to fall on Shen Li who was standing behind Xing Zhi .

Today, what Shen Li was wearing was what Xing Zhi arranged for her . The cotton white clothes that he brought, had a lot of patches, her face was haggard, and she looked a little weak . The person’s eyes lit up immediately, and he looked up and down Shen Li: “You could give me that wife of yours, to show me some courtesy . ”

Shen Li sneered . If she was not injured, she might have stepped on this rude man right there .

“You have a good eye . ” Xing Zhi’s voice was faint, a bit more chill than usual .

Shen Li was aware of it . In her opinion, Xing Zhi was originally a God who rarely revealed the true emotions in his heart . And when he did show, he would be very selective about where, when, and whom would see it .

But at this moment, Shen Li was keenly aware that Xing Zhi’s emotions were not calculated,

“I should commend you for having such a pair of eyes . ”

Before the words fell, Xing Zhi already punched Wang Bao in the face . He stunned him on the ground without even struggling . Wang Bao closed his eyes and fainted . The place where he was beaten by Xing Zhi was swollen and ugly .

Without blinking his eyes, Xing Zhi stepped on Wang Bao’s face with one foot, and then continue to walk as nothing happened .

Shen Li stared at Xing Zhi in a daze . She stared blankly until Xing Shi led Shen Li back to the yard with no expression on his face .

He finally said, “I was also beaten? Why do you keep looking at me like this?”

Shen Li blinked and said in a daze, “No, I just… I didn’t expect you to use such a direct method . ”

He just punched him… shouldn’t Xing Zhi be the kind of person who makes insidious tricks behind people’s back?

After a pause, a few complicated emotions flashed under his eyes, for a while, he turned to look at Shen Li: “He offended you . ”

Shen Li was slightly startled, and said, “Uh…it’s…”

“If it were you, how would you deal with it?”

“I would beat that arrogance out of him . ”

“So, I just chose the way you would choose . ” He turned his head and coughed, seeming to be aggrieved and uncomfortable, he whispered,

“I thought you would be a little happier this way . ”

Shen Li looked at his back and was slightly stunned . After reflecting on what he meant, Shen Li’s cheeks flushed suddenly… Is he… to please her…

“I’m feeling great . ” She said, “Actually, I’m very happy . ”

She lowered her eyelids in silence, looked at the ground, softened her steadfast and hard gaze, and the emotions in her heart were like wave after wave .

Shen Li also knew that perhaps only by putting on this disguise, he could be kind to her like this . He wanted to spoil her, so why not let him be at ease for a while…

Chapter 59 . 2

At night, Shen Li could not sleep and her ears suddenly moved . Her hearing has become much sharper these few days, and her voice is even better than before . To be precise, she heard someone entering the yard . There were about four people, but as soon as she heard the vain footsteps, she knew that the visitor had not even practiced martial arts .

Shen Li laid on the bed and continued to sleep .

They walked into the yard and stopped . But how could

Xing Zhi be unprepared? Sure enough, the four of them hadn’t even reached the main hall, and suddenly heard two muffled “hums” sounds, as if two of them had fallen, and the other two panicked .

In the chaos, they separated and ran around, one person rushed into the room where Shen Li was sleeping and the other rushed towards her . The door was opened, but Shen Li didn’t even open her eyes . She only smelled the smell on the person’s body and guessed that this person was the bullying Wang Bao they met during the day .

He was panting hard as if he was frightened, but after a while, he seemed to see Shen Li on the bed and approached slowly . When he walked to the bed, Shen Li heard a “gudong” sound of him swallowing his saliva… Shen Li felt sick in her heart, she opened her eyes that were cold as ice, and with the moonlight coming through the window Wang Bao could see the was murderous intent in them .

Wang Bao was so horrified by her eyes that he backed away, and when he reacted, he immediately said,

“Don’t yell girl, you don t need to call him!”

Seeing that Shen Li didn’t say anything, he felt a little relieved and said,

“You are sleeping in separate rooms . Why? “He seemed to had an enlightenment,

“I, I am the eldest son of the village, I don’t know how many times better than your husband who can only fish, why not follow me today as my lover ?”

“How can you compare yourself with him ? . ” “Shen Li opened her mouth and sat up, with a soft voice she said

“The difference between you two is like the difference between clouds and mud . ” “

Wang Bao was taken aback he looked at Shen Li blankly, and listened to her cold voice:

“This king has lived for a thousand years, but this is the first time I was molested by someone like this . This experience is really rare, but it’s a pity that you were too stubborn . I have no more mercy to grant . ”

“ Thousand years? “Wang Bao was dumbfounded .

Shen Li was too lazy to speak any more, so she stood up and waved her hand like a slap . She hasn’t fully recovered from her injury now, and this palm has spared her strength, but for Wang Bao, this was already too much .

After receiving the punch of Xing Zhi, his face was still swollen, and Shen Li’s palm hit him symmetrically .

Wang Bao wailed and backed away . But how could Shen Li let her go so easily?

She stretched out her hand to drag him but she inadvertently grabbed his trouser belt . Wang Bao was pulled and turned twice . The trouser belt stayed to Shen Li’s hand and his pants fell down .

Shen Li didn’t want to do this, but she heard Wang Bao’s voice .

He exclaimed: “Wh . . why are you doing this…!”

The corner of Shen Li’s mouth twitched .

Suddenly she felt dark in front of her eyes, and a cool palm covered her eyes . The man behind sighed, “Don’t look at the dirty stuff . ” “

Shen Li relaxed her posture, letting her body lean in the arms of the person behind her .

When he put down his hand, the door of the room opened wide, and Wang Bao was panicked, running away .

Shen Li turned around and glanced at Xing Zhi:

” I can cope with this situation without others’ intervention . “

Xing Zhi just smiled:” I know, but you can choose to be temporarily unable to cope . “

” Why? “

“Because I will help you . ” “

Shen Li lowered her head and said nothing . In fact…her body has already chosen that way .

On the second day, Xing Zhi got up early and went out fishing as usual . Shen Li slept in the bed until she woke up naturally, but the moment she opened her eyes, she noticed something was wrong .

She couldn’t see anything, no sound, and no touch . She had no sense of smell either .

She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but her throat was tightly closed . She knew that she was definitely speechless now . She couldn’t verify whether she still exists now .

She seemed to have fallen into a void, and there was nothing in it . Maybe she died . She couldn’t tell .

Shen Li controlled her emotions and allowed herself to sink and float in the darkness . She didn’t panic, just thinking that it should be fine after this day, but how long this day is, and what time it is now, she didn’t know .

If Xing Zhi saw her that way… she didn’t know what would happen .

She seemed to be the only one in the world, wandering in the void, as if she could never go out .

She began to feel fear, what if she couldn’t get better? What if she is like this from now on? She still has many things to do, many things to say, and so many unwillingnesses… how can she spend the rest of her life here?

Shen Li wanted to escape from this place . She allowed herself to run non-stop, but in the endless darkness, she didn’t know if she was running or not, she couldn’t see the direction, the road, or even herself, life and death were the same…

Time seemed to pass extremely fast and extremely slow . She didn’t know how long she had been in the dark, and suddenly she could hear some sounds in her ears . Someone was calling her:

“Shen Li, don’t be afraid, I’m here . Don’t be afraid . ”

The person suppressed his emotions so hard, but Shen Li heard the distress in his words, so much distress as if to drown her .

She smelled the outside smell, the smell of the sea on his body, and a very faint scent . It was a unique scent that belonged to Xing Zhi . A smell of gods, so it made people feel at ease…

Her limbs gradually recovered the feeling, she knew she was being held in his embrace .

He was holding her so tightly, it seems like he wanted to protect her, and at the same time, rely on her . She raised her arms vigorously, hugged him back, and stroked his back .

“Have you been here all the time?” She heard her voice extremely hoarse and was so tired that she couldn’t say the next word .

He hugged her even tighter, making Shen Li feel that the bones were strangled in pain, but it was this kind of pain that made her feel strangely warm and comfortable .

“I have been here all the time . ” He swore in her ear . “I will always be here . ”

Shen Li smiled: “Then next time, I won’t be so scared . ”

Xing Zhi’s throat choked and he couldn’t say anything else .
