The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 83: After Five Hundred Years

Five hundred years had passed since Feng Shang decided to forget the fact that he once had feelings for Yongheng and they had once lived together. Even if he decides to, it doesn't mean he's completely forgotten about it. At the meeting of the god minister as usual, he behaved like a Heaven Empress who was full of dignity and prestige, but when alone in Fengyun Palace or in the sky mirror area, he often pondered.

Honestly speaking, Feng Shang simply could not forget about Yongheng. His memories of when the man as Shen Yi imprinted so deeply. Feng Shang could never forget how Yongheng scolded him. He never forgot when he created so many problems for him in that world. Arguing each other, scolding each other, silencing each other, it all left a deep trace in his heart.

Yue Ming often caught her pensive. In his opinion, Feng Shang had tortured himself too much. Though it was clear he could continue, and Yue Ming was sure Great God Yongheng also remembered him. Otherwise, he couldn't possibly ask the news and ask for continuous information regarding the life of the Fengyun Palace's owner during these five hundred years, even though the person himself had never come back to the Sky Palace.

This afternoon when Feng Shang was enjoying the time in his memories in the garden of Fengyun Palace, he felt a fierce turmoil rumbling within him. The clouds above were blackening, then bringing down the rainstorm that swept across the Third Sky. There were waves of light mixed with strange power across the Ninth Sky, making Feng Shang instantly realize something.

"Comebody! There's a problem in Shansui Valley!" yells.

Then, a heavenly general came to him with a panicked face. The heavenly general reported that the Demon King seal in the Shansui Valley had suffered extremely violent cracks and shocks. The shock had even left the other five heavenly generals dead as it was enormous and its power swept through the arid surroundings.

The moment Feng Shang examined him, the situation in Shansui Valley was already very chaotic. The valley was ignited by a blazing red flame. Feng Shang used his phoenix robes to protect himself, breaking through the flames and rushing towards the mouth of the cave where the Demon King was locked up. As a result, several cracks were visible and the area around the place was landslide. Huge stones hundreds of thousands of years were scattered and the ground still felt trembling.

Feng Shang immediately repaired the seal. The seal had indeed returned to how it was, but Feng Shang's expression did not return. The heavenly general noticed it then asked, "Maharani, are you worried about something?"

"Call ten thousand other heavenly generals to guard this place!"

Ten thousand heavenly generals then arrived at Shansui Valley. After the fire was successfully extinguished and the ground tremors started to subside, Feng Shang immediately left the place. Crossing the Third Sky, he saw the chaos of that strange occurrence. With his strength, Feng Shang helped the gods in the Third Sky overcome the chaos and repair the damage. When he finished, he left.

Feng Shang reached the border between the Nine Heavens Realm and the mortal realm where humans were. Feng Shang left a strand of his phoenix feather there, then descended into the human world. There's something he needs to pursue. The shocks and cracks that followed the surge of power from Shansui Valley came from the release of half the Demon King's shadow. Feng Shang learned that half the shadow of the Demon King had managed to come out and escape into the human world.

Feng Shang had to capture him and return him to Shansui Valley then seal him back. The Demon King's shadow was another figure of the Demon King's self, possessing half the Demon King's strength. If left unchecked, then the chaos in the mortal realm would definitely be unavoidable. Feng Shang could not let that happen. He'll catch her back.

He landed in a vast and fertile meadow. The trail of the Demon King's shadow disappeared and did not smell anymore. Feng Shang changed his appearance, hid his divine aura then changed like an ordinary human. He walked out of the meadow, down a long road until he arrived at a very crowded city. In that city, thousands of people are carrying out all their activities.

Trained to be human, Feng Shang immersed himself in that life. His belief was that the shadow of the Demon King was on one of them. However, a shadow with half a great power must have been clever. The shadow must have disguised itself well and hid its aura as deep as possible until Feng Shang had trouble finding it. He thinks, the journey this time will be long and quite tiring.

Meanwhile, Yongheng who also felt an oddity immediately rushed towards Shansui Valley. There were ten thousand heavenly generals standing guard in the valley, and all of them were the most powerful. Yongheng walked over to the sealing place of the Demon King and found a crack that had been repaired. The seal was made on the core of his soul, so he could feel all his strangeness in case anything happened.

Yongheng smiled slightly, admiring the unfathomable speed and capture power of the Sky Empress. The woman had already managed to overcome her mess in such a short time, even before she got here. Yongheng then traced Feng Shang's footsteps all the way to the border of the Nine Heavens Realm with the mortal realm. He found a strand of Feng Shang's blue flame phoenix feather lying on the grass of heaven.

Landing in the same meadow as Feng Shang, Yongheng then disguised his godhood and changed his appearance like an ordinary human. In an instant, Yongheng became an extremely handsome and dignified young master, let alone his white clothes. His hair-strap was also dangling long, and he was not much different from the young masters in the human world. So beautiful and so charming.

Yongheng then used Shen Yi's name for his identity. During these five hundred years, Yongheng slowly began to realize that he was Shen Yi in that earth-named world, and he was someone who was so close to Feng Shang. Yongheng had already regained his memories, even the memories as Shen Yi had also returned to him. However, he did not tell anyone, as he was sure that Feng Shang had remembered him as well. Both choose to hide it, both acting as they please.

"Si Yun, don't call me a god. We are humans in this place" Yongheng told Si Yun.

"Okay, Young Master. I'll call you that. So, what did Young Master want to do for the first time?"

"Searching girls. He is also here" Yongheng said.

The two then walked down the street and arrived at the same city center as Feng Shang. It was just that they had come slower and the human crowd was not as crowded as before. By then, it was late in the afternoon and the sun had almost sunk in the western horizon. Si Yun searched for an inn, then got two rooms of middling facilities in the human world to rest for a few nights before finding what they were looking for.

That night, Yongheng was not in his bed. He walks through the city at night alone. Due to his good looks, he attracted a lot of attention of young girls. He said he was like a god who came down to earth. Yongheng did not respond and was engrossed in walking around on his own. In this city there is a new year celebration festival, which is why tonight is filled with fireworks.

Yongheng saw a girl dressed in light blue standing among the crowd, trying to get out of the human urge. The girl had a little trouble because her body was small until it was easily nudged. I could see his face was very upset and sour. Yongheng smiled slightly, then walked up to the crowd. His hand slipped among the crowd, then pulled the girl's hand out of there. As soon as it came out, the girl immediately turned her head and was shocked. He watched Yongheng from head to toe without exception.

"Maharani, the clue you left behind is very helpful to me," Yongheng said as he chuckled teasingly. Feng Shang glared.

"What are you here for?"

"Pursuing the wife."

"Oh. It turned out that the Great God Yongheng was in love with humans."

"Yes. I'm in love with a girl named Feng Shangyue."

Feng Shang was instantly stunned.

"What did you say just now?"
