Chapter 825: To Get Her
“Ah, Lord Phoenix.” Another immortal gave himself a knock on the head before replying respectfully, “Lord Phoenix went back to Buddhism as she said she has to water the plant. She’ll be back at night.”
The man narrowed his eyes, “Water the plant? For the Bodhi?”
“Yes.” The fairy nodded.
At that moment, the demons that were following the man could clearly feel the coldness emitted from the back of the man.
No one dared to move, or even to make any sound.
Until the man spoke again with a cold tone, “I see, you all may leave.”
“Yes.” The two immortals felt relieved. They looked at each other, held their hands and continued their task as bell boys.
Yet at this moment, as the man clenched his fist, thin gray fog soon covered the sky above Tian Dao.
The man took a step forward, the words of Yue Lao then echoed in his ears.
“Phoenix doesn’t like you, Emperor. It would be pointless for Emperor to tie a Red String on her hand.”
“Emperor should have known about the Bodhi at Mountain Tenya, the Bodhi has responded because of Phoenix.”
“500 years later, the Bodhi in front of the Buddha’s gate would transform into a Buddha from a human state. He is the only one who is genuine to Phoenix...”
The demons behind the man did not understand why the Emperor had stopped his steps abruptly, but at that instant, the mythical tree next to him fell down as if someone had vented his anger on it. The sound was so loud that even the Stargazing Palace located more than ten meters away felt the shock.
However, the man only stood calmly amongst the flying dust. As his long sleeves swayed in the wind, his laughter was heard. The man who had been putting on a front as a gentle and elegant person instantly turned into an evil and fearsome man, “It seemed like what I have done isn’t enough. Otherwise, how could she have the time to water the Bodhi tree again.”
Needless to say, the demons knew who was the ‘she’ mentioned by the Emperor. All of them tightened their nerves and were afraid to speak.
The man stood there with his slender legs. His eyes were cold and strands of hair were falling over his forehead. It was unbelievable that he actually evoked a sense of loneliness.
Nonetheless, this feeling of loneliness disappeared within seconds. The man curved his pretty thin lips in a flash, “Since she left without saying a word, I have no choice but to try my best and break her Dharma, what do you all think?”
The demons were all stunned, what do they think? They did not have the guts to answer such a question!
Moreover, Phoenix was top-ranked among the Buddhas, even the Honored Sir of Buddhism could not do anything with her, hence breaking her Dharma would be easier said than done.
Unless His Highness had something in hand that could affect Phoenix.
The man laughed again, “Convey my order! Today, we will use lard oil to cook the vegetarian food and prepare the mushroom soup with meat broth. Remember to get rid of the stink and cover up the odor of the meat.”
Prepare the soup with meat broth? The demons glanced at each other and immediately understood the intention of the Emperor, but they did not dare to ask or say anything. They could only wait for Phoenix to return from Buddhism.
“My lord, are you really going to live in Tian Dao for long?” Little Monk was following Phoenix and in his hands were the scriptures sorted out by Phoenix. He asked eagerly, hoping that their Lord Phoenix would change her mind.
Phoenix raised her brows, “What’s wrong? Did anything happen in Buddhism?”
“No, everything is fine recently. My lord doesn’t have to go for a hunt, but if my lord continues to stay in Tian Dao, wouldn’t it give rise to rumors?” Little Monk was worried that Phoenix would get the short end of the stick.
Phoenix smiled, “I’ll only be there for a few days, and I’ll move back in no time. The more rumors the better, that way, I can avoid someone coming up the mountain and ask for mercy. Besides that, I would be free from those people who keep on bothering me with the intention of obtaining my combat power.”
“My lord, if you really want to get married, Honored Sir has said that he will arrange a good marriage for you, as long as you don’t break the religious precepts or fall in love. My lord, you don’t have to rush into a relationship with the Emperor right now.” Little Monk struggled to keep up with Phoenix with his short legs.
After she heard Little Monk’s words, Phoenix’s smile faded and a sense of mockery appeared in her eyes, “I will be able to get a good marriage by not breaking the religious precepts and not falling in love? Honored Sir really did consider everything for me.”
“My lord...” Little Monk flushed as he knew he had misspoken.
However, Phoenix seemed to be unconcerned, she reached out her hand and flicked his bald head, “It’s okay. The next time Honored Sir tells you such a thing again, you can pass on my words. I, Phoenix, like to rush into a relationship with others just like how I like to kill.”
Little Monk reached out his hand and grabbed her clothes as if he was apologizing.
How would Phoenix make a fuss over a child’s words. She smiled at him and took the scriptures from his hands.
Just then, a soft sigh was heard, “What little master said was for your own good, my lord.”
It was Golden Lotus, she seemed to be reciting the sutras as she was holding a scroll in her hands. Her pretty eyes were filled with concern toward Phoenix, “My lord, I know that you grew up in Buddhism. Although you have aged, you rarely pay attention to what a woman should focus on. In order to clear the sin of the world and dedicate yourself to the practice of Buddha, you have also forgotten that we shouldn’t take the initiative when we are interacting with men. Otherwise, it’ll damage the reputation of yours in time to come, my lord. Furthermore, men wouldn’t cherish such a woman, all they want is the novelty. What I’ve said might have made you feel uneasy, but as a part of Buddhism, I truly hope that you wouldn’t do things that will lead to regrets.”
Phoenix took a glance at her without saying a word, she displayed such an arrogance that could dominate the world.
Under such gaze, Golden Lotus started to bite her thin lips, “My lord, please don’t overthink, I meant no disrespect.”
“It doesn’t matter if you are being disrespectful or not.” Phoenix stepped forward and gave out a laugh when she brushed past Golden Lotus, “Study the scriptures well. It was mentioned in the scriptures that jealousy is the ugliest taboo of a woman.”
In an instant, grievance froze on the face of Golden Lotus.
Before Golden Lotus was able to react, the person who was carrying her prayer beads disappeared into the surging clouds.
...
After she left, Phoenix immediately opened the manual given by the man. The manual clearly stated, “As a domineering partner, you must be able to tackle your rival well.”
Not bad, I’ve fulfilled another condition.
Phoenix raised her hand and used a spell to put a check mark on the manual. With a sense of accomplishment, she hugged the scripture and walked toward Tian Dao.
This time, the little immortals did not take her arrival as a challenge to a duel anymore, but the scythe in her hands was still so scary that it terrified the immortals.
Phoenix noticed that the children were afraid of the scythe in her hand, hence she transformed the scythe into prayer beads and wore it on her wrist again.
The little immortals saw her actions, then looked at each other and thought, In reality, Lord Phoenix isn’t as savage as what others said...
