The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 98: Dating Once in a Lifetime

Mortal nature is quite pleasant. Feng Shang and Yongheng lived in a wooden hut in the middle of a peaceful and peaceful forest. Here, they live life like humans.

Yongheng longed for his days as an ordinary human, as did Feng Shang. They made a garden and a lake, and decorated the garden around the hut with flowers and some other plants.

Their plants grew with the power of the sky, lush and very nice. In order to complete happiness, they like to sell it to the market, mingling with mortal humans.

"I want to buy this," Feng Shang said to a gulali merchant. The merchant gave him one, but Feng Shang shook his head. The merchant was astonished, then Yongheng came and helped him.

"He wants everything."

"Ah, so it seems. Please, Miss."

Feng Shang bought all the gulalis from the merchant. Both of his hands were busy holding the gulali, while eating it slowly. Yongheng walked by his side, he shook his head in astonishment. Feng Shangs attitude was very similar to that of a child if it was like this.

"Don't criticize me. I didn't have a great childhood."

"I'm not criticizing you."

Feng Shang waved his lips, then ate back the scroll. Yongheng took him looking around the city, let go of the fatigue then returned to the cottage after the afternoon. The routine lasts for a while.

"There will be an opera performance on the night of the lantern festival. Are you interested in seeing it?" ask Yongheng.

"of course. Rarely see human opera shows. Make sure you get the front seat."

Yongheng nodded, then went to the building where the show took place later. He reserved the front seat and spoke to his manager, then paid him with dozens of pieces of silver until he thanked him repeatedly.

After exiting the building, Feng Shang and Yongheng went to the clothing store. They bought several sets of clothes and paid for them with excess money without asking for change. Satisfied with the clothes, they went to the food store and bought some cardboard snacks.

In the middle of the street, a child whines to buy a toy to his mother. His voice was heard by Feng Shang, so he bought all the toys and gave them to the boy. The little boy actually cried even louder because the number of toys was too much.

"He asked, he cried too. Humans are indeed strange," Feng Shang said.

"Something excessive is not good, Xiao Shang."

Feng Shang was screeched. He thought he should not have children if he married later. Taking care of the child is troublesome. Every night must be difficult to sleep because of the cry of the child, not to mention fussy when sick. Feng Shang who likes calmness will not be able to handle it.

The two immortal creatures then stopped at a restaurant. They ordered a special place on the second floor. The ordered menu is also the most expensive special menu. It's okay, both are pretty rich. That big money is no problem. If it was less, the two would only dredge up treasures in the storage warehouse of the Sky Palace and the East Sea alone.

"Ah, if there were pizza or lava chichken like on earth," Feng Shang complained. He remembered that Shen Yi used to bring him such food.

"If we know the way, we can stop by there," Yongheng added, because until now they still do not know why they can exist in the world called earth. Everything is still a mystery.

"Let's be secret. If we go there, that world might change again."

"I just miss that flower house. Every day I always stay there because my strength has not recovered" recalls Feng Shang.

"And I will scold you because you always mess up. Zhang Bi complained about not being able to take care of you."

"The heavenly Empress doesn't need to be taken care of by your assistant."

"Are they okay after that night?" ask Feng Shang.

"Who?"

"Feng Zheng, Zhang Bi, Jiang Li, and also everyone."

The next night after watching the opera performance, Feng Shang and Yongheng went back to the cottage. Before he arrived, Yongheng asked him to close his eyes. Despite not knowing what he was willing to do, Feng Shang complied. He closed his eyes with a white cloth.

Yongheng. Both walked among the blooming flowers. When he got to the front of the wooden gate, Yongheng untied the cloth and told Feng Shang to open his eyes.

In front of them, the log cabin looked different. Along its path made of stone, hung dozens of brightly lit lanterns. The flowers greeted them. The red cloths are beautifully installed here and there.

Yongheng also summoned fireflies to beautify everything. The results are in line with expectations. Feng Shang smiled, not expecting this to be a surprise. Although simple, but very valuable and meaningful.

"When did you prepare it?" asked Feng Shang curiously. Yongheng has always been with her.

"You forgot? I am the Great God Yongheng. I can do anything."

"Where did you learn it from?"

"Secret."

He couldn't possibly say that he was imitating human ways and results asked Ji Nuo, right? It was a bit embarrassing for his pride.

Yongheng then guided Feng Shang to the main courtyard. There, there is already a table containing a set of poci containing wine and glasses along with some snacks. Yongheng held Feng Shang's hand, making him stand face to face with him. Their eyes met and read to each other.

"Xiao Shang, marry me."

Feng Shangs foolish nature appeared again in shock.

"Married? Wh who? With me? Now then? In here?"

Yongheng laughed.

"Since we are in the human world, let's do it the human way."

The man then put on a veil to cover Feng Shang's head. Then they worshiped the earth and the sky, bowed and respected each other. Yongheng picked up the cup that was already filled with wedding wine, handed it to Feng Shang and another one was in his hands.

"Wait on! Hey, I don't agree yet!"

"It's too late. You're not given a chance to refuse."

Yongheng gulped the wine with Feng Shang. Feng Shang was not given a chance to speak, and only resignedly when Yongheng carried him in. The man put her to bed after removing her veil.

They looked at each other long enough. The thundering inside them.

"You... Can't leave me. Either be Shen Yi, or Yongheng," shrieked Feng Shang.

"Xiao Shang, stay with me forever."

After saying that, Yongheng immediately kissed her. The lips are clenched against each other, looking for the candy hidden there. The dam of feelings that have been there is blowing, flowing love of incomparable magnitude.

Slowly, the fabrics on their bodies began to date. The candles sway, the melodious night song accompanies two people who are drunk with love. The two stars from the sky found their happiness.

Ah, I don't know why the snow suddenly fell on that hut.
