The Eternal Phoenix Queen
Eps. 92: Not Allowing
"Greet His Majesty the Empress."
"Greet His Majesty the Empress."
"Greet His Majesty the Empress."
Feng Shang avoided every greeting that was actually addressed to Ji Nuo. After meeting the human emperor, he took him to visit the Back Palace, to see how many concubines the emperor had. Feng Shang was really surprised because there were more women here than the fairy maids in the Sky Palace. The numbers were overwhelming and they were all extremely beautiful and fresh, like the newly blooming flower buds.
It's a pity that their lives are tied up in this golden cage. Feng Shang was sure they had entered here not of their own volition. Ji Nuo said he had to find a pure girl, and it was quite difficult until he had to persuade the parents of these women to allow his daughter to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine. It felt ridiculous because Feng Shang really did not think that something like this happened in the human world.
"They had only lived in the palace for about one to two years. The ones over there are the senior concubines" Ji Nuo said as he pointed at the palace area not too far away from where they were standing now.
"The goddamn human emperor is really a pervert!" grunts Feng Shang. Yongheng who was by his side agreed, because he thought that the human emperor was also really a pervert.
Just imagine, there were over four hundred concubines living here. That human emperor would definitely not know anyone who had slept with him. He certainly did not remember who he played with last night, or how the face of the concubine who served him so much. Especially if there is always something new.
The gods were known for one eternal partner throughout their lives. In history, one god had only one partner. As for the concubine, it was just a name that was actually meaningless. The divine couple were known to be faithful creatures, and their relationship lasted for hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of years. Not like a human. Naturally Yongheng and Feng Shang were surprised.
Feng Shang was not inexhaustible as to why Ji Nuo was so fond of playing with humans. He once said that he married the human emperor and became his empress because there was no work. Just be right! There are so many things in this world that her sister can do. Why does he like to trouble himself so much?
"alright. Let's discuss how to deal with that lewd bastard!" exclaimed Ji Nuo after finishing driving around. They returned to the palace that Ji Nuo had provided for Feng Shang and Yongheng.
They sit in a circle. It was time to overcome the lewd behavior of this human emperor. If not immediately overcome, this human dynasty could be destroyed in a matter of years. It could affect the world order that had been arranged in such a way. Feng Shang was annoyed that the Demon King's shadow was actually present and messed things up. Though it was obvious that he and Yongheng had sealed it firmly.
Could someone have loosened it?
But, Feng Shang had no idea who. The Shansui Valley is protected by a powerful and layered formation. Ordinary immortals would not be able to enter there. Unless those immortals had something that allowed them to enter the Shansui Valley, such as the possessions of the Celestial Empress and Great God Yongheng or their blood or the rest of their strength.
"How could the Demon King's shadow escape from the formation?" ask Feng Shang. He should have thought of this long before coming to the mortal realm, as well as Yongheng.
"yes too. The Shansui Valley protected a powerful formation. Did someone loosen it up?" ask Yongheng.
Feng Shang and Yongheng dissolved in their thoughts. Ji Nuo only noticed. He knew how powerful the Demon King was even if it was only his shadow. If the shadow of the Demon King were to awaken and find out that there were three immortal beings eyeing him, this world would be destroyed instantly. The impact will be extraordinary and many humans will be victims. However, it was fortunate that the shadow of the Demon King was always awakened when it wanted service. Plus they were hiding their divine aura, which made the Demon King would not notice.
"Discuss that later. We have to save humanity from that goddamn lust!" the fiery Ji Nuo sulut.
"Heh, your behavior is like a Great Goddess" chirped Yongheng. Feng Shang who heard him instantly turned his head. Something suddenly appeared in his mind. Right, he and Ji Nuo had the same blood. If something were to happen to her at any moment, Ji Nuo might be able to take her place.
"I'm not interested. I'd rather be the goddess of unemployment who wanders to the ends of the world."
"alright. So, how do we handle it?" ask Yongheng.
Ji Nuo and Yongheng immediately shook their heads. No, Feng Shang can't be bait. His status was unworthy of being juxtaposed with the reputation of a bad Demon King for hundreds of thousands of years. The Heaven's Emperor must not feed himself, let alone this was extremely dangerous. What if something happens? What if Feng Shangs strength suddenly weakened when facing the shadow of the Demon King?
Yongheng didn't want that to happen. For him, to be by Feng Shang's side alone was already difficult. He did not want the woman to suffer just to face the Demon King. It was enough that he sacrificed on earth, now Yongheng did not want Feng Shang to sacrifice anymore. This time, let him sacrifice. After all, his life as a great god would mean nothing if he could not save the world.
"No! I don't agree!" reject Yongheng.
"really. I don't agree either!" follow Ji Nuo.
"Why?" ask Feng Shang.
"You still ask? Sister, you are the Heavenly Empress. How can I feed myself? Sister, aren't these sacrifices too great? Especially now that the Demon King was in a human body. It makes sense that if he was in the body of a god, it could still be considered equivalent, " Ji Nuo said. She also did not want her sister to sacrifice herself.
"What is the value of a Heavenly Empress? I could sacrifice myself for something else. I've even made a sacrifice bigger than this."
"I will never allow you to be an offering woman to that human emperor!" yongheng. He was angry that Feng Shang was acting selfish again.
Yongheng then left behind Ji Nuo and Feng Shang. Feng Shang himself was still stunned due to Yongheng's rising tone. I don't know why it feels so uncomfortable. While on earth, the man often scolded him. It felt completely different when the two returned to their respective identities. Shen Yi, no, Yongheng was like an angry husband to his wife.
"You don't want to catch up with him?" ask Ji Nuo.
"Why am I following him?"
Ji Nuo sighed. True to the word of the birds, the heart of the Heavenly Empress was very hard and cold.
"Although I don't know what story has happened to the two of you, but I can confirm that Supreme God Yongheng sincerely takes heart in you. He really doesn't want you to sacrifice yourself anymore."
"I sacrificed him once. I won't sacrifice it again this time," Feng Shang said.
"The two of you are completely compatible," Ji Nuo said as he shook his head.
"I will wait for your decision" he added. Ji Nuo would wait for what decision Feng Shang and Yongheng would make. He felt they needed to discuss it carefully. Incidentally, Ji Nuo also had an agenda to work on. That pervert human emperor kept him busy all day. While waiting, he will do his job first. Ji Nuo then left Feng Shang.
Feng Shang was engrossed in thinking alone. His heart told him to catch up with Yongheng and ask him to reconsider his decision. However, it was his logic that told him to remain silent there. The heart and mind are not always in harmony. Feng Shang only wanted to finish this as quickly as possible, then return to the Sky Palace. Dawdling in the mortal realm made him increasingly recall memories that slowly gnawed at his heart.
Over time, however, his ego lost. Feng Shang followed his heart and went to meet Yongheng. The man was sitting by the pool drinking wine. Feng Shang walked over, then sat down beside him slowly. When Yongheng realized his presence, he turned his face away.
"You still angry?"
Yongheng did not answer.
