The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 49: Burning Traces

If there is no law in this world and humans are the weakest creatures that can be conquered, then the earth has been destroyed in the beginning. The law of the jungle applies, when the strong win against the losers.

Xiang Sun threw the hundreds-year-old old mirror that was commonly used for self-styling. His glass was strewn on the floor, some of it hit his feet and scratched his skin until it bled.

Due to the failure of the plan, he had to go through tremendous pain. The ever-increasing demon Eve had now united with him, making him truly like a true demon. A creepy aura also accompanied him.

As a result, he went crazy. Now, his residence that was like a crystal palace turned into a mass grave. All the servants in his house died from his madness. Some of their bodies are dry, some are still wet.

The white marble floor is now red. The smell of rancid sticks strong, making anyone can vomit so nauseous. Because it is located quite far from the residential complex and very wide, the smell was not to be smelled within fifty meters.

Xiang Sun's hands were still covered in blood. Sometimes he screams in anger, then laughs for no reason. His mind was filled with the desire to complete the desire to be perfect, which pushed him to the darkest side of his human heart that was left a little more.

He had also wanted to kill Feng Ling after knowing his plan had failed and the woman had become disabled. Xiang Sun was enraged when he did not find the aura of holy blood on Feng Ling's body. His only hope now was Feng Shang. He should arrest the woman as soon as possible.

Xiang Sun really did not know who his true opponent was. He was too focused on the struggle for holy blood, without knowing who exactly the figure he was after and what strength was hidden in him. His narrow mind made him only know that Feng Shang was nothing more than a paper tiger, which looked sinister yet was actually very docile.

"I'll definitely get you!" shouted firmly.

But before that, he had to find a new residence. This place is no longer liveable. Xiang Sun did not have time to clean up the corpses of his servants that were piled up inside the house. It would be very suspicious if the security guards asked him why the maids in this house did not exist.

Of course, he couldn't tell the truth. The laws in the human world are light, but complicated. Someone else will be suspicious and investigate.

Except, he made a scenario to engineer their deaths. The police will not suspect when a major incident hit this house and all its contents. Not only could Xiang Sun move, but it could escape suspicion.

Xiang Sun laughed loudly. The man came out of the basement, then he washed his hands and feet on the water faucet. Once it felt clean, Xiang Sun burned his residence with demonic air power. The luxury house was engulfed in flames, the entire contents were burned by the red man.

He left the burning residence unknown to anyone. Xiang Sun then engineered his activity schedule, manipulating it to make it look as if he was out of town for a business trip. In fact, he was clearly trying to avoid after burning his own house.

After leaving the house, there was a siren sound from a fire engine that began to burn close to the house.

...***...

Feng Shang and Shen Yi were enjoying their lunch in a restaurant. Today the two decided not to go to the office, because the owner should not be too strict on themselves.

Along the way, the mood of both of them was so good. After telling her who she was, the burden on Feng Shang's heart seemed to lift. He no longer acted ice-cold, because the chunks began to melt slowly.

Shen Yi also felt relieved after she knew Feng Shangs true identity. His strange dreams last night did not come, probably because his mood was good. Today he also did not nag Zhang Bi, instead having the man comfort himself or take his cut once in a while.

"How does it feel?" shen Yi asked as he pinched a small piece of extremely expensive and delicious grilled fish meat onto Feng Shang's plate.

"Lumayan. Earth man's cuisine isn't too bad with the one in the Sky Palace," Feng Shang replied with a mouth that was still chewing.

"Does food in the god realm have magic power as well? For example, a mortal human baby could directly walk after eating sky food?"

"I'm just asking. Who knows a group like you can grow fast at will."

Feng Shang shook his head. Lazily serving the man, he continued his lunch session. The diner visitor that day wasn't too much, so he could be more relaxed.

Shen Yi's phone rang. The man signaled that he was going to answer the phone. Shen Yi went to the corner of the room. From across the street, Zhang Bi gave an information that made Shen Yi's countenance change instantly.

Seeing the man's expression that was so strange after receiving the phone made Feng Shang very itchy if not to ask. He wanted to know who the caller was and what he said to make the man have a bad expression.

"Xiao Shang, Xiang Sun's residence is on fire. All the servants there were trapped inside and burned to death" he said with a difficult expression.

Feng Shang reflexively dropped his cutlery on the plate.

"Everybody dead?" tanyanya.

"Yes. The fire can be extinguished after two hours."

"Then what about Xiang Sun?"

"He's on a business trip out of town."

It was not because he was worried that he was asking Xiang Sun. Feng Shang suspected that the fire was no ordinary fire. It must have been intentional and planned. Normally, even though the house is so big, there is always a makeshift road that allows some people to escape the fire.

It was impossible if all of his servants were stuck together at one time. Are there no servants outside the residence or in the garden?

"That's not simple," Feng Shang said.

"You mean, you suspect this has something to do with Xiang Sun?"

Feng Shang nodded. Very suspicious.

"Too absurd. Shen Yi, are you going to help me?"

"You want to investigate?"

"Yes. Tonight as well."

Shen Yi nodded in agreement even though she was worried. Shen Yi was worried that it was just a trap that Xiang Sun had deliberately set up to capture Feng Shang. He was afraid that Feng Shang would be harmed again by the demonic air.

Instead of letting that happen, he better go with her while watching her. If they had to die, they would both die together.

"alright. The night we go there."
