The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 78: Stuck Together

The celestial banquet was completed a few days later. Even so, it does not mean that all the guests of the gods have returned to their respective places of origin. There are some gods who stay longer in the Sky Palace to discuss something with the maharani, or with other gods. That is common considering they come from different places and cannot meet every day.

After the banquet was over, the Fuyao Hall again functioned as a god's court hall. Not delaying the task, one day after the event was over Feng Shang directly held a god meeting. He wanted to discuss about the Shansui Valley which some time ago experienced strange movements. Everyone looked at him seriously.

"I think the seal should be strengthened again soon. We can't risk what could cause the Demon King to come out of there" proposed Lord Xie Guichan, the god of Mount Zhuimeng. He was one of the descendants of the ancient gods. His hair was already bleached, but his face and body were like a young god tens of thousands of years old.

"The seal is strong. Maharani fixes it and watches over it at all times. In my opinion, the movement was caused by another factor, "overwrite Lord Zhu Ye, the god of the Longtian Valley.

Feng Shang pondered for a moment. Everything's too weird. In his faint memories, he was also like seeing the figure of a Demon King in that world, but it was very unclear as he instantly experienced an incredible headache. Either it was just his feelings alone, or maybe it was really related to him and Yongheng.

"Your proposal is good," Feng Shang said later. "I will strengthen it again. Great God Yongheng, will you help me?"

Yongheng smiled calmly, then nodded. He knew the maharani wasn't that clumsy. Despite his strong strength, Yongheng has a power stronger than him. He was a great god, naturally inheriting the power of the Ancestral God. All the gods stared at him, there was admiration tucked into their hearts. Previously, they could not see clearly what Supreme God Yongheng, a god from ancient times who rose miraculously because Yongheng was always out of place.

"Of course, Maharani," Yongheng said.

"One more thing. No one is allowed to ask for forgiveness on behalf of Sui Jin" Feng Shang said. Then, he then left Fuyao Hall, followed by Yongheng.

The two arrived at the Shansui Valley. Right at the mouth of the cave, the two stood side by side. Feng Shang was a little uncomfortable as he recalled that day, when he first met Yongheng here. Yongheng's incredible strength made this seal strengthen before he checked. Feng Shang slightly shifted his position, making Yongheng astonished.

"I won't eat you" Yongheng said.

"I knew. I just don't want to be exposed to the effects of this wave of seal power," Feng Shang said. Actually, he's evading.

"Then let's start."

Feng Shang and Yongheng started to strengthen the seal. Waves of power from within the seal bounced off, and they managed to dodge it. The sound of a terrible moan echoed from inside the cave, making anyone shiver if they heard it. Except Feng Shang and Yongheng. The groan was similar to a cry of pain mixed with anger. The longer, the louder the moans sounded.

"Damn it! Feng Shang, Yongheng, I will never forget this grudge! I swear I will destroy the Nine Heavens Realm and the East Sea!" sound from within. It was the voice of the Caged Demon King. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and Yongheng has finally heard the voice of his old enemy.

"Devil King, apparently you still know me," Yongheng said.

"Yongheng, your resurrection brought disaster! You are a god who knows nothing!"

After the seal was successfully strengthened, Feng Shang and Yongheng breathed a sigh of relief. At least this seal will not falter for the next sixty thousand years. The formation protecting him had already been installed up to seventy layers, and each layer was equivalent to ten thousand years of cultivation. Not to mention his outer formation numbered seven, whose formation eyes were hidden in a secret place.

"Maharani, let's go back."

"Yes." Yeah."

Right after that, a strong wind suddenly blew. Feng Shang and Yongheng were thrown away, then fell in the Yinshen Forest. That forest was the forest where the other demon tribes lived. Life there is exactly like human life. The demons that were subject to the Demon King were doing activities there and living life as usual.

They're not all bad. Many of those demons had good hearts. One thing was certain, they were all subject to the king and the Heavenly Empress. Were it not for the mercy of the Heavenly Empress, they would have been wiped out long ago. It was due to the massive hunting and slaughter that took place forty thousand years ago.

"Damn it, I'm stranded here instead" grumbled Feng Shang. The few demons who were looking looked at them in wonder. Then they looked up, and thought, "Which God and Goddess of the Sky Palace is this?"

Feng Shang did not particularly like the crowd. Although this forest is called a forest, in fact it is not like that. Yinshen Forest is like a market in the middle of the city, becoming a center of activity. The demons passed by with the children and their families. Feng Shang prepared to fly back, but Yongheng blocked his arm.

"Because we're here, why don't we take a walk?"

"I'm not unemployed. I must immediately return to Fengyun Palace," Feng Shang refused. Well, even though that's not the main reason.

"You rarely relax. As long as there's a chance, let's have a little fun."

Feng Shang showed his unwillingness, yet Yongheng paid no heed to it. He pulled Feng Shangs arm and carried him down the crowd of Yinshen. In the past, this forest was not this crowded. Yongheng remembered that when times had not changed, this forest was just a forest of comfortable training. It switched functions after the great war ended.

Yongheng took her to visit beautiful places with amazing views. The Nine Heavens Realm was indeed beautiful, but Feng Shang had not really enjoyed it like this. His days were filled with the care of the Three Realms and the gods. Well, maybe it could be called a short recreation when Yongheng brought her here.

Yongheng also took him to visit places to eat and enjoy dishes from the demon tribe. The food is delicious and unique. Feng Shang finished up a few dishes of food and he was very satisfied. Yongheng was also pleased that he was finally able to make Empress Feng not surly and cold as usual. Here, he could see Feng Shang brighten his face and his smile was often on its back.

"Maharani, you are beautiful when you smile" Yongheng said. Feng Shang was wrong. He hid the red hue on his face by turning around, pretending to enjoy the dish alone. Seeing that, Yongheng smiled because he thought Feng Shang was very cute when he blushed. Next time, he should praise her often.

Meanwhile, in the Sky Palace, Yue Ming was desperately searching for the whereabouts of Feng Shang. He didn't usually leave all this time. It was almost night, but Feng Shang did not return. Yue Ming asked the gods, and they simply replied, "Maharani went with Great God Yongheng to Shansui Valley to strengthen the Demon King's seal."
