The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 80: Looking for the Atmosphere

Yongheng walked out of Kongming Palace while carrying a wooden box containing a set of tea brewing tools. His feet stepped lightly as light as feathers, bringing his body towards Fengyun Palace a considerable distance away from Kongming Palace. Today, he wanted to talk briefly about the world to Empress Feng, before he returned to the East Sea.

Undeniably, Yongheng's mind was always attached to the figure of the heaven-ruling woman. From the first time they met until the unintentional streets of Yinshen Forest, the nights Yongheng spent were never peaceful. Every time he closed his eyes, Feng Shang's face and self were always in the shadows. Especially when he saw her in another 'world. To date, he has not been able to escape.

Feng Shang seemed to be leaning on top of a tree branch while closing his eyes as soon as Yongheng entered the gate. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Feng Shang immediately opened his eyes and discovered that Yongheng had been standing under a tree while staring up. Undoubtedly, Feng Shang directly rushed down.

"What are you doing here?" ask him to Yongheng.

"visited you. I need a interlocutor because there is no one in Kongming Palace that I can talk to" replied Yongheng.

"I don't think we're that familiar."

"really? Then who initially refused to go to the Yinshen Forest and ended up giving the decree of liberation for being happy to see life there?"

Hearing that, Feng Shang turned his face away. Well, apparently the news has already spread. Now the Three Realms were busy talking about his actions. The Yinshen Forest that was part of the Demon Realm was suddenly released after tens of thousands of years. Yongheng looked at Feng Shang with amused eyes, he thought that Feng Shang was a person who blushed easily. He could see Maharani Fengs face slowly blushing.

Yongheng thrust a cup of warm tea at Feng Shang. She drank it slowly, sinewy, just like the noble lady of the mortal world. The maharani who was calm looked like a very beautiful mannequin of life. Yongheng was fascinated by it, yet he did not dare to reveal it. It was too prestige because she was a great god and that woman was the maharani, the leader of heaven.

"Well, who knew that the life of the demon tribe was so simple and so happy. Unlike the Nine Heavens Realm, which sometimes makes me sick."

"Did Maharani Feng just complain?"

"Can a maharani not complain either?"

"Well, not really. It just sounds weird."

Feng Shang put his shoulders. Being the leader of heaven and the Three Realms does not mean that you have to be perfect. There was a time when he was fed up with everything. However, when that moment came, Feng Shang instantly reminded himself that he had a great responsibility towards the Three Realms. If he gives up, the world will be destroyed by falling into the hands of the wrong people.

"You're very curious about my life?" ask Feng Shang. Yongheng was speechless, yet his answer was already very clear in Feng Shang's eyes.

"I'm sure you've figured it out" Feng Shang said later. Yongheng looked at him, filled with questions.

"So, did you accidentally drop your phoenix feather that day?"

It was now Feng Shang's turn to be silent. Yongheng was inexhaustible with this woman's actions. That day, it turned out that he had accidentally dropped his phoenix feather in the sky mirror garden. Although Yongheng did not know the true purpose of this woman, but it showed that Feng Shang was quite understanding. He probably understood his curiosity during these few days.

"Have you seen it?" ask Feng Shang. Yongheng nodded. Feng Shang sighed. Although he could use the sky mirror to know his life, but he chose not to do that. According to him, secrets remain secrets. Let it pass without him having to know.

"Aren't you able to use that to figure out your origins? Then why don't you use it?" ask Yongheng.

"So, until now you didn't know your origins and would rather let it go?"

Feng Shang nodded.

"Other than me, who else knows your origins?" ask Yongheng again.

"Nothing."

"Why do you trust me so much?"

Feng Shang pondered for a moment. No, he also didn't know why he did that. Yongheng was like a magnet that attracted objects around him. Ever since he first met in Shansui Valley and he felt his unusual godhood, the noose of fate had been wrapped around him. Yongheng was a great god, but he was not like the great god he had encountered all this time. He was different, which is why he believed in it.

"Eitherway. Maybe it's fate."

"Because you said so, it means we're familiar. What if I call you Xiao Shang?"

Xiao Shang's? The name sounded familiar to her ears. Feng Shang felt that someone named Shen Yi in the other world always called him that, and that young man named Shen Yi's face was the same as Yongheng's. Whatisthis? Why is he confused by this?

"I'm not that small," Feng Shang said. "But you're much younger than me. Well, even though my life was delayed for several hundred thousand years," Yongheng said.

"can't. People will argue about it if they hear it. Besides, can a Sky Empress like me be called that name?"

"I mean, just when we're both. How's it?" haggar Yongheng. He also couldn't possibly summon Feng Shang with that designation when there were other gods among them. However, Feng Shang still seemed to disagree. Yongheng gave up, he no longer forced her.

Silence was between them. Both Feng Shang and Yongheng were busy in his mind. To be more precise, they were in a very awkward situation and both were trying to eliminate that awkwardness. One pot of hot water was gone with the tea. But the awkwardness between the two is not lost.

It was only after a long while that Feng Shang asked, "When are you going back to the East Sea?"

"Maybe two more days."

The silence happened again. After Yongheng left, would his heart miss that figure? The East Sea was not a place he could go to given his dislike of that place. Ah, Feng Shang suddenly felt himself to be very silly. He was a maharani, where there was a time to think of a great god returning to his original place. After Yongheng left, he did not know when he would meet her again. Maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, maybe even thousands of years.

Yongheng thought the same thing. After this, I don't know when he'll see her again. The affairs in the East Sea were so many and he might not have the time to visit Maharani Feng later. So, as long as there is an opportunity, he will make the most of it. There are only two days left, and those two days should be a precious time for both.

"Ah, it's late. You go back to Kongming Palace" said Feng Shang. As if understanding the situation, Yongheng complied. He cleaned up the equipment, then said goodbye. However, he was unceasingly thinking about the woman. Every step he took felt like a very slow thousand steps.
