The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 16: Thinking Too Much

Feng Shang was still thinking about the events he saw last night. His heart wondered why there were demons on this earth. At one time, because there was no magic, the earth man did not know that there was a demon air that could endanger human life. If the demon's air hits the mortal's body, then the pure soul can be destroyed and the human will die.

Though clearly this was not the Nine Heavens Realm, not a god realm nor a demon realm. Life on earth is different from life in the realm of gods.

The humans here are so realistic, they do not believe in any invisible forces. Strange, thought Feng Shang. Could there be a demon who got lost in this world?

If that was true, then Feng Shangs duties increased again. In addition to having to find a way home, find his identity, he must also use his strength to investigate the origin of the demon and immediately exterminate it.

Feng Shang did not want the tragedy of tens of thousands of years ago to be repeated, when the world was chaotic due to the influence of the demons and the wars between clans.

"What is that stupid woman doing?" shen Yi asked from the second floor. From earlier on he continued to pay attention to Feng Shang who was sitting pensively downstairs.

Thinking to find out, the man stepped his foot down the stairs. Although his steps were soundless, Feng Shangs sharp hearing was still able to catch him.

Disturbing, he thought. That man must not have good intentions. Feng Shang secretly flicked his finger, thinking of judging the annoying man.

Shen Yi's feet went down the last step. However, the stairs felt very slippery and he immediately slipped. Shen Yi's body landed on the icy white marble floor.

There was an agonizing ringing because the man had fallen too hard. Feng Shang pretended not to know, turned his head and found that the man was holding the back of his body.

"Why did President Shen fall?" tanyakanya.

"Your sentence is like it's insinuating me" Shen Yi said.

Feng Shang held back his laughter. In his opinion, that grimacing Shen Yi was extremely cute. The slightly handsome face in his eyes was like a small rice ball ready to eat. Feng Shang felt that it was not in vain that he had castigated the man this early. His mind that had wandered and confused slowly began to find the other side.

"really?"

Shen Yi raised her hand. He sat on the sofa facing Feng Shang head-on. The man looked at Feng Shang from head to toe.

Previously, he did not realize that this woman turned out to be quite beautiful with a simple home-made dress. He thinks he now has an impression on women who have forced him to be like a jerk who uses women.

"You didn't go to the office?" ask Shen Yi. He looked at the wall clock, the needle pointed at the number eight.

"Do I have to?"

"Great Miss Feng, you are the Managing Director of Lingjing, the new successor of the Feng Family company. Don't you feel silly when you ask that?" astonished Shen Yi.

"Oh. Let them work."

It is true that women are stupid, Shen Yi thought. He thought that this woman would change after being made heir, in fact it was all in the delusion in Shen Yi's mind. Feng Shang is still a stupid memory lost woman despite having met family.

In this world, maybe only this woman thinks of letting the company run itself without the presence of a leader.

"Director Feng, if you don't work, your company will go bankrupt."

Hearing that, Feng Shang was stunned. Bankrupt? Isn't that a condition when the company suffered a loss and had to go out of business? If the company went bankrupt, Shen Yi whose brain was filled with profit and loss must have driven him away.

If Feng Shang was expelled, he would not be able to practice cultivating. If he did not gather strength from his cultivation, he could not go home. If he can't go home....

Feng Shang shuddered at the thought of a possibility when he had to be trapped in this world forever.  His concentration broke due to the ringing of a cell phone that rang nearby. It always sounded from yesterday afternoon, making Feng Shang emotional and wanting to destroy it. Feng Zheng said, this thing can be used to contact people remotely.

"Why don't you pick up?"

"I don't know how to operate it," Feng Shang said innocently.

Soon, Shen Yi picked up the phone. As he was about to be lifted up, his ring died. There were dozens of missed calls in his cell phone call history.

All of them were from the same contact name: Feng Zheng and Jingjing. Oh, this second name might be one of his subordinates, or it could be his manager.

"You really don't know?" Feng Shang shook his head. Shen Yi was not inexhaustible as to why there was a human like Feng Shang in this world. Modern times, even if this woman loses her memory, she should still be able to remember how to operate a cell phone easily.

Young children only need a few hours to be able to master all the features in it. This woman, in less than five minutes, has been able to master it. Shen Yi did not know, that even before this Feng Shang actually knew how to wear it.

Feng Shang was just too lazy with foreign objects that sometimes made him dizzy. Just like the cab he crashed into the wall yesterday.

"I'm going to collect the money I paid to solve your problem yesterday" the man suddenly said.

"I have to replace it?"

"Of course!"

Feng Shang went to his room. He took out a bag of silver pieces, then gave them to Shen Yi. The man's eyes were like they were about to jump out looking at so many pieces of silver.

In fact, he was just kidding. The money he spent to compensate for yesterday's taxi damage was nothing compared to the value of this piece of silver.

"Is that enough?" ask Feng Shang.

"Where did you get this much silver?"

Shen Yi could not understand why this woman living in her house could have so many pieces of high-quality silver. Previously Shen Yi was still thinking naturally when Feng Shang gave some silver pieces to pay for the grilled sausage in the roadside tavern. But this one, I don't think he wants to believe.

"Just accept it. Sometimes, too much curiosity can kill you," Feng Shang said lightly, but in Shen Yi's ears, the remark was too serious when it came out of the mouth of a young woman like her.

Feng Shang smiled slightly. Easy enough, the silver pieces were indeed part of his life. Both here and in the Nine Heavens Realm, as long as his soul core was still a maharani, he could have as many silver pieces as he wanted.

Shen Yi was too naive to know the origin of this piece of silver. Wait until he finds out who Shen Yi really is, he'll just tell her.

Shen Yi instead felt provoked. He approached, leaning his body until the distance between himself and Feng Shang was eroded. There was a cold glint in Feng Shangs eyes that looked beautiful in Shen Yi's eyes, as well as a doubtful and wary gaze. This distance was the closest distance since he and Feng Shang had met. The black bead broke through the black bead that belonged to Feng Shang.

Feng Shang wanted to go after him, because every time their eyes met with sharp glances, his eyes would hurt. However, he could not move his body at all.

Shen Yi's too-close distance shut off his movements, locking him to the point when he could not control his own body. Feng Shang could only reply to him with a similar glare, but the pain that often came was instead transferred to another part of his body.

Feng Shang's chest ached until his reflex gaze dimmed, his head slightly lowered and his eyes pointed in another direction. The woman's sweet forehead was wrinkled, enduring the turmoil of pain arising in her chest.

Damn, thought. The blue phenix mark on his chest seemed to react. Feng Shang pushed the man with force, making Shen Yi instantly retreat.

The surprising thing was that the man also seemed to be enduring the pain. Shen Yi held onto her aching head like it had been pierced by thousands of needles.

However, Feng Shang actually saw a golden colored lotus mark appear faintly on Shen Yi's forehead, then disappeared after a while. A similar colored flash appeared on the man's black bead, then disappeared.

"Ah, my head hurts again," Shen Yi said as she held back the body from becoming unsteady. The man went upstairs, took his medicine to relieve his pain.

Meanwhile, Feng Shang was still holding onto his chest. The blue phoenix is glowing. Fearing that Shen Yi saw this strangeness, she immediately went to the flower garden and closed the glass door. With the pain still lingering, he said, "Why did this happen?"
