The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 93: Pleading for the Light

"You still angry?"

Yongheng did not reply and turned his face to the side. He thought Feng Shang had gone too far for being selfish again. Yongheng was obviously angry, not only did he not want to see her sacrifice, he was also afraid that the Demon King would hurt him. Just a shadow alone could have made it this far, it signified that the power it brought was truly not to be underestimated.

Although now possessed human form, but that does not mean everything becomes easy. On the contrary, the fight in the human world was more difficult than the fight in the god world. There were many beings without spiritual power here, who when exposed to the slightest spark could die. Yongheng did not want Feng Shang to bear the punishment of the sky for acting rashly.

"Actually, I don't want to do it either" Feng Shang said. "Just like I told you before, the world is too important. But this time I'm not worried enough."

"Why?"

"Because you're by my side."

Yongheng looked at Feng Shang. He feels very curious. Was this woman really happy that she was by his side?

"You know, I'm always alone. In this world, I am alone too. Who said the Celestial Empress had no fear? My fear is greater than any creature in the world. I was afraid to walk when the road I was walking on was dark and long. I was afraid to grab someone else's hand when I couldn't get up. I fear that the world will perish because of my inability to take care of it. I was born with the Maharani's destiny, so I have to accept and try my best. I'm afraid, if one day I can't, who will take care of this world?" feng Shang. All the feelings he harbored were thrashing, wanting to be immediately expressed. However, he still tried to hold it.

"I thought I'd be alone forever. But, after Si Ming sent me to another mortal world, I knew that the world I was leading was not just one. I also know that there are many people who can help me. I suddenly felt happy and scared at the same time. I'm glad you finally got up, because there's still someone who can lead the world besides me. I'm also afraid that the choice I made was wrong."

Yongheng knows. He knows that being a world leader is hard. Too many problems and too much weight. God Chang Yuan, the first Celestial Emperor who now lived in the Realm of Nothingness also sensed that. He used to help her take care of the world, because the Great God was born for it. If only the God Chang Yuan was a man having trouble, let alone Feng Shang. As other goddesses enjoyed their time playing with others, they had to be quiet and observe the world. Feng Shang could not sleep as well as most women.

"If you're happy I'm by your side, then listen to me. Xiao Shang, how many times have I told you? Do not always bear everything yourself. Look, you still have people near you. Yue Ming, Ji Nuo, I, does that mean nothing to you?"

"I just don't want you guys to get hurt."

"If anything happens to you, do you think we'll be okay?"

"I'm sure you can take care of yourself," Feng Shang said softly. Yongheng sighed, trying to be patient on his stubborn head Feng Shang.

"Xiao Shang, I just got up and my strength hasn't fully recovered."

Feng Shang was confused. True too Yongheng said. His strength must have not fully recovered even though five hundred years had passed. Yongheng was asleep for hundreds of thousands of years, a lot of his energy was stored and needed recovery. However, Feng Shang was also running out of time. The shadow of the Demon King had already come out, if it was not overcome, it did not rule out the actual figure of the Demon King going out of the Shansui Valley. If it's that, it's fucked. The Demon King will demand revenge and return to destabilize the world.

Yongheng is not no other way. It was just that Feng Shang was extremely valuable to him, and vice versa. He knows they are running out of time. A few days ago Si Yun came and told him that the East Sea could not be abandoned anymore. Yongheng also knew that Feng Shang had gotten a message from Yue Ming telling him to immediately return to the Sky Palace.

"This once. There won't be another time" Feng Shang tried to persuade Yongheng back into letting him act. He won't give up.

"I don't allow you to. But, I will always keep an eye on you," Yongheng broke up.

Feng Shang lowered his smile for the first time after five hundred years before Yongheng. That smile made Yongheng's heart warm. Feng Shang was very beautiful, and she was even more beautiful if she smiled. If that smile were to last forever, then there would be no creature in this world that was not interested. There was no goddess more beautiful than Feng Shang.

"Never show that smile to another god" Yongheng said. Feng Shang pretended not to listen. He then stood up, before turning around he said, "Tomorrow is the time."

Yongheng just nodded.

Si Ming dashed down the Fengyun Palace courtyard towards the main door. Her beautiful clothes flew in the wind that blew from heaven. He was in a hurry to find the Heavenly Empress, because he had something to tell her. Unfortunately, he did not find Feng Shang anywhere. There were only heavenly warriors and fairy servants going back and forth in that palace.

"Did you see Empress Feng?" asked Si Ming to the servant. The waiter shook his head. Si Ming had been around for quite a while, but no one knew where Feng Shang had gone.

Si Ming then walked into the room that belonged to Feng Shang. The items there are neatly arranged, signifying that the owner has not touched it for some time. The decorations that beautify the room are still shining. That means the owner didn't leave for too long. Si Ming became confused because the existence of the Celestial Empress could not be traced carelessly with the sky mirror.

"The Goddess of Destiny Si Ming?" ask someone. Si Ming turned his head and found Yue Ming had just arrived while carrying a few pieces of paper.

"Yue Ming! I finally met someone. Where is Empress Feng?"

"You looking for him? What's up?"

"Oh, just say it. Where did Empress Feng go?"

Yue Ming told her to sit down first. After he calmed down, he just asked again, "What's wrong? You don't usually come here without being called."

"There's something Empress Feng should know."

"About what?"

"About the tree of feeling and its power, also the reciprocity between the two."

Si Ming then whispered something to Yue Ming. Yue Ming's expression was hard to guess. Whether the news that Si Ming brought was good or bad, he did not know.
