The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 1: Yonghe Island

Feng Shang blinked his eyes as he felt pain as if he was being bitten on his leg. When his eyes opened, he saw a bright blue sky without clouds. It was so blue that he did not know whether the Nine Heavens Realm had a clear sky like this or not.

“Fucking curls!”

Feng Shang threw a large red crab around. The crab's claw injured his leg until it bled. Apparently, the painful feeling of being bitten earlier came from his toes clad in a large red crab. His feet are white and level, smooth without injuries now has a defect in the form of a crab claw that interferes with the view.

Wait, blood?

Feng Shang furrowed his forehead until his two eyebrows almost fused together. All his life, he had never seen blood come out of his injured body. His fate as the Heavenly Empress made him have a body that was resistant to external wounds, so that whenever his skin was torn, it never spewed blood and his wounds instantly closed back.

Why are his feet bleeding?

Feng Shang felt his body cold. His eyes widened when he saw the strange clothes stuck on his body. She was wearing only a thin plain white garment with long sleeves and a knee-length black skirt, all of which were wet. Feng Shang felt the other parts of his body. His normally long hair was now tied to one, the crown made from the Three Realms essence diamond was also no longer on his head.

“What happened to me?”

Feng Shang looked at his opened legs. Apparently, he also did not wear footwear and socks until his white skin was exposed. It took him a few minutes to notice his entire unusual body. And then, he looked around.

White sand extends south. The waves roared and came to change, carrying the foam of the ocean as well as some other small objects. Feng Shang then concluded that he was on a beach on a mysterious island he had never been to. There are no gods or demons or fairies here. Feng Shang also did not smell the spiritual scent of the plants and objects around him. There is only white sand, waves, coconut trees and shrubs and towering rocks.

The noise then sounded very loud. Feng Shang looked up at the sky, then a strange black-colored object flew out at a low altitude. On top of the object there are other objects that are long and rotating, to make the trees move like a typhoon.

“Master, there's a woman down there!” shouted someone from inside the object to the man in black and wearing something round black in his eyes.

“Is he a god?” asked Feng Shang inwardly. Was that flying thing his spiritual beast? But why so noisy?

“Down!” the black-clothed man's orders.

The flying object then landed not far from where Feng Shang was standing. Feng Shang prepared, being wary if those people would attack him all of a sudden. That attitude had been trained for thousands of years before he became the Empress of Heaven, so that his vigilance exceeded anyone.

Feng Shang sensed the mysterious energy as the man in black clothes walked towards him. He saw the shadow of a person in his eyes, but suddenly his eyes became sore and he immediately closed them. Strange, why did his eyes immediately hurt when he sensed the aura of the foreign man?

“He may get lost,” said the man flat.

Feng Shang reopened both of his eyes. The distance between him and the man was probably only a few meters. The man in the suit frowned when he saw the expressionless countenance of the little woman standing before him. This is unusual, he thought.

Usually when someone is stranded on a foreign island alone, the person will panic and seek help until it is like dying. But this woman instead displayed an ordinary facial expression, as if stranded on an uninhabited remote island was common.

Feng Shang took a step back as the man took one step forward. The man in the suit opened the black object attached to his nose until both of his eyes were visible. Those eyes, those eyes are so beautiful! Feng Shang felt that the eyes of this foreign man resembled the eyes of the great gods who often came to visit him, but looked different at the same time.

The man in the suit then turned around, then used sign language in the form of a nod of the head. Another man dressed almost similarly nodded, then approached Feng Shang with a friendly expression as he said, “Nona, please come with us.”

Feng Shang changed his expression. How dare he greet the Heavenly Empress directly without the basic etiquette of the Nine Heavens Realm! Feng Shang moved his finger, about to strangle the man. Strangely, his hands just can not cast magic. His movements look ridiculous.

“Nona? You okay?” the man asked again.

Feng Shang did not reply and instead noticed his fingers. Where did all his power go? Why isn't the magic coming out?

“Nona may be surprised and frightened to be stranded on this island alone. Let us help you get out of here, after that Miss can find Miss's family,”.

Feng Shang was not stupid. If he wanted to find out what was happening, he might have to follow this group of strangers. As the man spoke to him, he wanted to get angry because he felt that the man had the incredible courage to confront him. In the Nine Heavens Realm, even the great gods only dared to speak to him briefly.

Finally, he followed the strange men into a mysterious flying object. The noisy sound made Feng Shang have to cover both his ears. This spiritual beast was very strange. There are no eyes, no feathers, but it can fit up to five people and is also very noisy. In addition, on the front there are dozens of buttons and a small screen that lights up and displays strange circles and numbers.

The man in the suit looked at Feng Shang's behavior, then put a foreign object on his head. The noisy sounds of the spiritual animals were instantly inaudible. Feng Shang stared for a while, then went back to silence while looking at the scene below. In the Three Realms, Feng Shang often flew over the ocean, but never really liked the ocean.

It was all due to a grudge twenty thousand years ago. When she was an ordinary goddess, she was once locked up in the East Sea by a group of goddesses who were jealous of her. The inhabitants of the East Sea treated him like a slave until Feng Shang was fed up and rebelled. That's why he doesn't like the ocean very much.

After quite some time, the strange spiritual beasts then flew over the expanse of strange buildings that were towering high. Feng Shang looked at it from above, and it was definitely not the palaces or houses of the residents of the Three Realms. In addition, underneath there are also long streets with thousands of strange objects moving forward from various directions.

This is not the Nine Heavens Realm, this place is not the Three Realms, he thought.

“Ke his family,” his answer is short.

The friendly man was immediately lethargic of getting such a short answer.

“But the lady hasn't spoken a word since she boarded. How can we know who he is and where his family is?”

“Maybe his brain was entering water.”

Feng Shang who heard him instantly said, “I'm not stupid.”

The two men then did not speak again until they reached a high place. Perhaps, they stopped on a tall building roof. The noise of the strange spiritual animal then stopped as the man in the beautiful-eyed suit descended, followed by the man and several other men. Feng Shang also got off after the spiritual animal passengers came out all.

Just as he was treading his bare feet, his ears then caught a strange sound that shot towards the beautiful-eyed man. The hearing senses of his Celestial Empress turned out to still function very well, able to predict the sounds coming from up to a thousand miles away. Feng Shang felt that the voice coming was not a good thing.

“Awas!” exclaimed Feng Shang as the sound moved closer and closer. Feng Shang reflexively pushed the body of the beautiful-eyed man to dodge the attack of the voice. His skin is in contact with the man's skin. Feng Shang and the man fell down along with a strange little object at high speed. It hit a big wall behind them.

“Killer! Protect Master Shen Yi!”

Some people then went on standby, forming a circle to protect Shen Yi and Feng Shang. Feng Shang's elbows were scratched and bleeding, while Shen Yi only had bruises from a sudden fall and endured a violent impact.

“Zhang Bi, don't let him escape!” shen Yi's orders while rising up. The burly men of – may be Shen Yi's bodyguards, holding weapons in their hands. Shit, they might be cheated!

“Shen Yi?” said Feng Shang unconsciously.

“Nona, thank you for saving Mr. Shen's life.  What's the name Miss?” ask Zhang Bi. While cleaning the dust in his hands, Feng Shang then replied, “Feng Shang.”

In the Nine Heavens Realm, calling the name of the Heavenly Empress carelessly was a prohibition. The noble name should only be mentioned after being given the call ‘Yang Mulia’. However, Feng Shang was forced to tell him his name because he knew that this was not the world he came from. Who knew he could search for information by relying on these people.

“Where is Miss's house? I will take Miss home and reward Miss for saving our Master's life,” Zhang Bi said.

Feng Shang couldn't possibly answer to Fengyun Palace, right? If he answered like that, he might be considered insane and laughed at. This entire lifetime, Feng Shang had wanted to be laughed at the most. It is better to be called cruel than to be a laughing stock, so he is forced to answer, “I do not know.”

Either because it was still panicking over the incident or what, Shen Yi and Zhang Bi did not comment. The two men brought Feng Shang into a room that was all very strange. Inside the room, Feng Shang saw many strangely dressed humans just like himself, busy at their respective places. Every now and then he heard cries of anger from some corner of the room and complaints from some people who caught his ear.

“Nona, wear this. I see your clothes are wet. Mr. Shen is in a meeting with a client, please Miss wait here.” Zhang Bi thrust out a set of female clothes that Feng Shang thought still looked strange. Although the cloth was rather thick, it could not cover his entire body.

“Is there no longer clothes?”

Zhang Bi shook his head. It was a set of women's clothes that had only been bought a moment ago and it was very expensive. The model is the latest and limited edition, but this woman even wants another?

“Perhaps only Mr. Shen's clothes are rather long.”

“Give me!”

Although strange, Zhang Bi still took a set of clothes belonging to Shen Yi and gave it to Feng Shang. Now, the woman was wearing a suit similar to Shen Yi's, dressed in black with a white shirt and black trousers. Feng Shang also used Shen Yi shoes that were large in size, so when he stepped up, his shoes were often left behind. He waited in Shen Yi's room alone.

“He was really weird,” Shen Yi said as she looked through the glass after the meeting. Inside his room, Shen Yi saw clearly that Feng Shang was like a plain and strange new employee.

“Miss Feng refuses to wear new clothes. He said he wanted a longer one. Though, his clothes had been wet ever since he was still on Yonghe Island. Mister, where will Mister send Miss Feng?” ask Zhang Bi.

“Bring home only.”
