The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 26: Between Real or Not

The next morning, Shen Yi woke up as the sunlight broke through the glass covering the top of the flower garden. The man rubbed his eyes, suddenly the day was bright.

He was surprised to see the details of where he lay. Green clumps, blooming flowers, there was also a breeze of wind blowing gently patted her morning face.

"You awake?"

Feng Shang stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth when he knew Shen Yi was awake. Feng Shang did not move Shen Yi into the room, letting the man sleep all night in the flower garden without a blanket.

He did not have to worry that the man would get sick from the cold, because the formation above this house had driven the cold from outside. Even if you sleep without clothes, it will be nothing.

"Why am I asleep here?" shen Yi asked in confusion. As he remembered, last night he slept on his big, soft bed.

"You sleepwalk. Didn't you notice?"

"I don't have sleepwalking disorder. Feng Shang, are you pranking me again?" shen Yi asked suspiciously.

"Why did I waste energy working on you?"

"Didn't you prank me yesterday? I can't believe it!" shen Yi's. He believes this woman moved him.

"Hey, stupid Master Shen Yi, do you think a small woman like me can lift you from the top floor to the flower garden? It's up to you not to believe," Feng Shang said, pretending to be annoyed. Though, he laughed inwardly at Shen Yi's confusion.

"yes too. Your body is small and not powerful. It may be strong enough to lift my body up" said Shen Yi.

He stretched his body. His muscles feel sore. Feng Shang was probably right, he slept while walking. Shen Yi did not see the lying expression on the sometimes extremely cold face of the woman. Shen Yi snatched Feng Shang's fork, then fed a piece of apple to his mouth. It was as if he remembered something.

"It seems like last night I dreamed of meeting an angel," Shen Yi said involuntarily.

"Angel? What kind of angel?"

"Of course, I don't remember it clearly. But, he had a pair of beautiful blue-colored wings."

Feng Shang pretended not to know. Ridiculous, he thought. The most beautiful blue phenical wings in the Three Worlds are thought to be angels, this mysterious human thought is so simple. Feng Shang responded with a small ruckus, which Shen Yi could still hear and see.

"It's a pity that it's just a dream" said Feng Shang.

"That's better than any of my weird dreams before."

Shen Yi glanced at the clock that had pointed at the number eight. Good, he's an hour late today. Ever since having weird dreams, Shen Yi had often gotten up too late. It was also supported by the home atmosphere that felt comfortable, as if there was a magical power protecting it.

Shen Yi simply did not know that the cozy atmosphere was created due to the large amount of spiritual power gathered through the formation.

It was fortunate that the work in the office could be handled by Zhang Bi. Currently, the company is monitoring the development of investments in several large companies in the country.

Usually, the directors of various companies would gather somewhere, discussing cooperation and work. At the event, everyone is usually the busiest, because all reports must be completed correctly and on time.

Incidentally, this year's partner director's association will be held in a few weeks. Shen Yi began to organize his employees and directors. Today he was supposed to go to a meeting, but his body felt sore.

Shen Yi did not have a good mood that could push her away to the office, even though this had never happened before.

"There will be a few more days of directors meeting. You must also attend," Shen Yi told Feng Shang.

"Let my secretary handle it for me."

"can't. It was an important meeting. I hope you don't make trouble and disappoint your grandfather" Shen Yi said. He glanced at Feng Shang who was only twitching his shoulders.

Feng Shang instead wanted to go to the birthday event that his grandfather said last night. Currently, obtaining the materials to make Baihuang mirrors was more important to him than attending company meetings.

Feng Shang could not imagine how boring the event was, perhaps like the palace court events he often saw in the human realm. He would have Jingjing represent him.

"Shen Yi," he called.

"Yes?"

"Are you human?" ask Feng Shang.

"What kind of stupid question is that?"

"Ah, I mean, are your families famous people?" ask Feng Shang. He forgot that in this world there are no other creatures besides those visible to the eye.

"Yes. My father was a businessman, my mother was a model. Why are you curious?"

"Have you never heard the story of your ancestors?"

Shen Yi frowned. What is the person who has died for?

He shook his head. His parents never said what their ancestors were like. Shen Yi had lived independently since childhood, had lived alone in an apartment and had become a director with her own hard work. Although Xize was founded by his grandfather, Shen Yi never accepted the position just by relying on his status in his family.

He is a fairly anti-mixing man. Ever since the house split, Shen Yi had rarely gathered with the family. So, he did not have the time and opportunity to know the story of the ancestors in his family. It was possible that the opportunity and the time were there, but Shen Yi missed it so much that she knew nothing.

Feng Shang nodded in understanding. I think this question is too frontal. Modern people like Shen Yi might care about ancestors who lived in the past. He might care, but he just knows and remembers. It is impossible to trace the traces of how his descendants survived to the present.

"I think you know," said Feng Shang.

"It's possible that my ancestors were honorable people as well. Maybe my dream last night had something to do with it? Feng Shang, just think about it, could it be that my ancestor is a noble descendant?"

Feng Shang choked. He thought Shen Yi had forgotten about last night. The man himself said it was just a dream. It was unexpected that a Shen Yi turned out to also think of a strange event that was indeed more similar called the dream.

"You're just a dream. There is no certainty that it has anything to do with your ancestors" Feng Shang said. After that, he went to the kitchen to store the fruit dishes whose contents ran out faster than usual. Meanwhile, Shen Yi simply stared at the woman's back lazily.

...***...

The room of President Xiang was shrouded in the gripping air coming from its owner. Since a few hours ago, Xiang Sun was furious and threw all the stock development report documents at the various companies that Xiang cooperated with. The secretary and several directors were subjected to the president's fury which overflowed like hot lava from a volcano.

Xiang Sun was poking around because those reports made him so emotional. How not, within a month, there is no significant development from the company invited to work together, until the profit generated is also not increased and tends to be passive. The target set by him for some time is not achieved.

"Useless! If you can't work, just go! I don't need a slow fool like you! Analyzing the odds just wrong, do you want me to go broke, huh?"

Some of the directors in the room lowered their heads. This kind of Xiang Sun was extremely sinister. His temperament was indeed bad, often angry because of trivial things. According to them, events like this are common in the investment business. Their president is too hopeful.

"Have you heard from Lingjing?" xiang Sun asked his secretary. His secretary shook his head, until Xiang Sun gritted his teeth.

His anger peaked when he remembered the defeat when he bet the price of Baimeng mirror with Feng Shang. Xiang Sun was also furious as the girl rejected him firmly.

The shadow that hid inside him had appeared in the dream and said it was useless. It made Xiang Sun ignite, feeling humbled and unaccepting.

Although Feng Shang rejected him firmly, Xiang Sun vowed never to give up. He will certainly get the woman, and then purify her together with his cousin. After that, he could get his company. Once pat two dead flies, he thought.

"Get out!"

The gripping atmosphere ended when Xiang Sun told everyone to leave. Xiang Sun kicked down the table, venting out the lingering anger. He thought it was time he executed his plan to obtain Feng Shang. Xiang Sun's heart was already sultry and could not bear it.

Since Feng Shang refused firmly and showed his unwillingness, then Xiang Sun would attack blatantly. No matter how bad his reputation would be, no matter how big of a fight he had with Feng Ling, Xiang Sun would still carry on. After all, he was not a person who cared about gossip.

Xiang Sun called someone, then gave the order, "Send to Lingjing's office now."
