The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 5: RIP Laptop

Feng Shang fiddled with Shen Yi's laptop. Armed with the memories he saw from Shen Yi, Feng Shang was finally able to turn on the laptop and find the drama that Shen Yi had just watched. Unmitigated, the drama turned out to have an episode length of up to 56 episodes, which in each episode lasted for forty-five minutes.

Clik.

He pressed the button that pointed to the first episode. Initially, Feng Shang wanted to instantly turn it off again because the plot was less interesting and boring. However, after watching for quite a while, he felt the story was quite curious and the plot was developing.

Feng Shang decided to watch all the episodes of the drama until it was over. Sometimes he laughs when he sees a funny scene, also angry and ruffled the cushion of the chair when he sees a scene that sucks. Then, he arrived at the episode when a pair of deities make out under the tree of life after undergoing trials in the mortal world.

“Truly indecent!” he said, closing his eyes with his fingers, but he stretched them out and kept his eyes peeking at the adult scene.

Not until the end of 56 episodes, the laptop suddenly died. Feng Shang pressed the button many times, but it still did not light up. Finally, he took the laptop to the flower garden, casting life magic in the hope that it could re-ignite.

Niente. For hours, the laptop was not on.

“What really is lifeless?” ask him to the air. Out of annoyance, Feng Shang finally used a bit of his magic to make a hole, then buried the laptop and planted a flower on it. Finished with that, he went upstairs, to his room to rest.

“This house is special, especially that flower garden. There was a great spiritual power hidden there. Who exactly is Shen Yi? Why could she choose this house as her residence?”

Feng Shang stared at the darkened ceiling of the room. He kept thinking why in this world called earth, which was only inhabited by mortal humans, his magic power had suddenly recovered.

According to the information from Zhang Bi and Shen Yi's memories, on earth there is no such thing as magic. It's just a superstitious myth made up by humans out of fear.

Something called technology is far more powerful than magic. Here, beliefs in gods and goddesses do exist, but only a handful of people still practice them, most of whom are elders and descendants of the royal family. They don't know if it's real or not.

Though, it was clear that Feng Shang's strength was recovering. This clearly proves that magic in this world exists. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Feng Shang who was transformed into an earth human to possess such magic power.

“The world is weird. I must immediately find a way to return to the Nine Heavens Realm. This place is too weird,” murmured again.

Feng Shang flicked his finger into the air. A beam of blue light then gushed filled the dark room, then flew to the ceiling of the room. The rays form clusters of stars that are very similar to the stars in the sky, but in small size.

The woman used her power to create the illusion of the sky. He purposely did so that he would not forget where he came from. His made star clusters seemed to understand the master, as they continued to shine and occasionally blink throughout the night.

Just as Feng Shang was about to close his eyes, he was startled by the appearance of a golden beam of light that was shooting out from outside the room. Feng Shang immediately got up, then looked for the source of the beam. It felt very familiar, Feng Shang was like he had seen that ray in the Nine Heavens Realm.

The light came from inside Shen Yi's room. When he saw it, a golden light formed waves like an aurora, hovering above Shen Yi's body then slowly entered into the man's body. Feng Shangs eyes widened in disbelief.

How...how could a human like Shen Yi have a golden light equivalent to a magic power of ten thousand years?

“Shen Yi, who are you?” feng Shang asked as he looked at Shen Yi's face. Feng Shang was getting curious about this world, especially the mysteries about Shen Yi that he thought were very strange.

“This golden light penetrated into his body, he should have reacted. At the very least, this light would make him overheated or cold. Why does she look okay?” Feng Shang was wondering. Feng Shang also thought of when his strength suddenly grew after meeting and coming into contact with the man.

“If there is a Baihuang mirror, I might be able to know the mystery of his life before this.”

Feeling that there was nothing to pay attention to anymore, Feng Shang then returned to his room.

...***...

The next day, Shen Yi was furious at Zhang Bi and rummaged through the living room. He's looking for his lost laptop somewhere. Yesterday night was still on the table. There can't be a thief going in unnoticed anymore!

“If you don't manage to find it, I'll cut off one year of your salary!” shen Yi shouted at Zhang Bi.

Zhang Bi sighed. He regretted coming here early in the morning. If you know you will get scolding and become the target of anger of his superiors, it is better for Zhang Bi to go to the office. Zhang Bi had always been a scapegoat whenever Shen Yi was upset or angry because of work or when his mood was not good.

Feng Shang replied indifferently,

“The thing is dead. I buried him in the garden.”

Shen Yi was instantly speechless. Zhang Bi gaped, revealing his open mouth. Overdoing it, thought Feng Shang. Just an inanimate object why should it be so noisy? Can't that be used now?

“Where did you bury him?” shen Yi asked with a slightly uplifted tone.

“In the flower garden.”

“Stupid! Quickly take me there!” pinta Shen Yi was impatient.

Feng Shang pointed out where Shen Yi's laptop was buried. Zhang Bi immediately took out the hoe, then dismantled Shen Yi's laptop grave hurriedly. Shen Yi's anger was already on the verge of the peak, she was about to scold Feng Shang and drive him out of the house. But, the woman instead walked towards the swing, sat there and watched Zhang Bi's activities with a flat face.

Shen Yi's laptop was found in a terrible condition. All of its parts were covered in dirt and wet because last night Feng Shang doused it after being given flowers.

The laptop was immediately evacuated inside, cleaned with a rag and wet wipes until the attached soil was lost. Zhang Bi connected the laptop with a charge cable, but the laptop would not turn on.

“Fuck woman!” as for Shen Yi.

Laptop with an apple logo bitten is no longer helped. Complete death from the stupidity of a Feng Shang. Buying a new one was not a problem, but the contents of the laptop made Shen Yi unable to take it off. Inside the laptop were important company files that he had to check today.

Feng Shang flicked his finger to flick Shen Yi's head with his magic power. Not accepting with the swearing the man made, he wanted to repay her by shaking her head from a distance. But, yet to unleash strength, Shen Yi was suddenly already in front of him and made him startled.

“What did you do to my laptop?”

“Bury it. Otherwise, he will become a carcass,” Feng Shang said without feeling sinful.

“He died because he ran out of battery. If you want to live, charge it! Why did you bury him instead? Lookie! Now it's really dead!”

Feng Shang flicked his shoulders. It's not his fault. Blame that laptop battery that doesn't have a longer life.

“Oh. I don't know.”

Shen Yi rubbed her face violently. This woman, other than the word ‘I don't know, oh,’ has no other words that could explain why she did this to him.

Shen Yi was too underestimating this woman! He had to carefully teach her so that Feng Shang would not ruin everything he had in the future!

In a hurry, Shen Yi ordered Zhang Bi to bring his dead laptop to the store where he bought it, then look for someone to dismantle it.

Shen Yi asked Zhang Bi to save his procesor. Even though he has a backup of the documents, but all the files that are inside the dead laptop are very important. Shen Yi was not willing to lose just like that.

“You just wait! I'll teach you well later!” exclaimed Shen Yi as she passed away.

Feng Shang stared at the furious departure of Shen Yi with a sigh. Really, he doesn't know that a dead laptop can actually still be revived. In the Nine Heavens Realm, if any plant died but did not have a spiritual spirit, Yue Ming usually directly buried it or he sent it to the mortal world.

Taking advantage of the time during which Shen Yi went to the office, Feng Shang went back to sleep in the flower garden. No, he's not asleep. He was meditating and practicing, gathering spiritual strength to recover all of his strength. It would be foolish for Shen Yi to still be angry at him!
