The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 96: For Half of Life

"You guys get out."

Yue Ming and Si Ming walked out of Feng Shang's bedroom and let the man wait for Feng Shang alone. They both understood that the Great God Yongheng was actually also very sad over the condition of the Celestial Empress.

Feng Shang had been unconscious for days. It was more frightening than when he was sent to the mortal world to recuperate. Yue Ming was worried, but Yongheng was probably more worried.

"Maharani Feng will be fine. He had a good fate and a destiny path that was different from the fate patterns of most gods," Si Ming tried to appease Yue Ming.

"I hope so."

Yongheng who was inside the room watched Feng Shang intensely. The woman's black hair was broken and her body lay like a corpse. Her small lips looked slightly pale than usual. Yongheng touched the lips with his wiggly fingers, then rubbed them slowly.

"This lips only kissed once. Should I do it again?" muttered. He reminisced about the time when he kissed Feng Shang in front of Xiang Sun back then.

"If you think about it again, our destiny is funny. We are reunited in a foreign world and together, then separated and reunited in another world. Xiao Shang, what is our relationship? Why do we keep snaring at each other like this?"

This game of fate is too complicated. Yongheng could barely keep up with it. He and Feng Shang did not communicate much, but his heart and Feng Shang's heart were connected and intertwined more tightly than anyone's heart in the world. They hurt each other, then they raise each other up.

No words of love are spoken from the lips of both. When they meet, they just say a rude swear and insinuate each other. People see it as a language of love. Five hundred years apart, but reunited by a complicated situation.

"I won't let you die, Xiao Shang. You have to live."

Yongheng then positioned himself properly before Feng Shang. He closed his eyes, then began to split. It was painful, but this was nothing more than the pain he would have to endure if he lost Feng Shang.

Yongheng's self that was split into two now sat side by side. One himself unleashed his power, then gave it to Feng Shang. It was the same as giving up half his life. Yongheng willingly handed it over.

He gave up half of his life. Yongheng gave up half his heart, heart, and cultivation to heal Feng Shang. Blood from his mouth came out, and slowly his hemisphere disappeared. Some of her black hair also turned white.

As a Great God, he knew giving up half a life for a woman was not allowed. However, it became different because Feng Shang had a special identity. Feng Shang was not only a woman, but a Celestial Empress and also a lover who had not been dated.

"Please, wake up."

That was when the blood splash in Yongheng's mouth fell on his white robe. Feng Shang was now fine even though his feeling tree was growing. His strength would recover over time, as in his body flowed Yongheng's strength.

Since Yongheng's body was a golden body and he was a true god, then that flow of power would last a very long time and make its recipient become strong over time. That was why many demons were eyeing the golden bodies of the great gods because it was so precious.

"Yue Ming, Si Ming, come in."

Yue Ming and Si Ming then entered. Both of them were very surprised to see Yongheng's dying condition.

"Great God, you.." said Yue Ming.

"But, your hair?"

"It's okay. I'm old, it's just the effect of the transfer."

Si Ming even sighed. Should he be happy or sad? Great God Yongheng, the strongest person in the Three Realms gave up half his life to the Celestial Empress. Tomorrow or the day after, there will probably be a lot of trouble coming, especially from the god ministers. They must have been taking issue with the decision of the Great God Yongheng.

"Great God Yongheng, you better treat your wounds first. Self-division leaves pain that will come repeatedly to you" suggested Si Ming. Yongheng refused. He wanted to stay here until Feng Shang came to his senses.

Shansui Valley....

The sound of a fight-like storm echoed in front of the cave where the Demon King was locked up. Tens of thousands of heavenly warriors rained their spears on a black-robed creature that snuck here.

The black-robed figure had an incredible strength of being able to break into the Shansui Valley. It cannot be underestimated, one person alone had already managed to defeat tens of thousands of people. No one knew who the black-robed figure was.

"You can't beat me!" he shouted while attacking. A huge wave of power came, making all the heavenly warriors fall in a split second. From his voice, that black-robed figure was a woman.

The woman then walked closer to the mouth of the cave. He suddenly stretched out his hand, then the thousand-layer formation that sealed the place instantly shattered like glass. The woman laughed strangely, then started walking in.

Up in the middle of the cave, he saw the original body of the Demon King tied with hundreds of heavenly threads. The ground where it stood was given another formation that was quite complicated it seemed. It was a formation formed when Yongheng conquered the Demon King in the time of the ancient gods.

The woman then managed to crack it in a matter of seconds. The heavenly threads also broke in his hands. The Demon King's body fell into his hands. The Demon King opened his eyes, then stared ferociously at the woman. The flames in his eyes were as red as the sparks in the Deepest Hell. There was a grudge running out, making the woman laugh.

"Slowly enough!" exclaimed the Demon King at the woman.

"Is this how you thank the man who set you free?" ask the woman.

"Huh, I brought you to life."

"Don't forget, you killed me too."

The Demon King and the mysterious woman then walked out of the cave. The formation that originally broke back formed in just one touch. The Demon King stepped on the heavenly soldiers lying on the ground.

"This bunch of little ants is blocking my way!"

The Demon King and the woman were then gone, with the terrifying power he had brought. After the Demon King and the mysterious woman left, the state of Shansui Valley returned to its original state. The heavenly soldiers also came to a realization, but did not remember what had happened.

They did not realize that the Demon King had slipped out of the formation and fled.
