Chapter 76 God... has really been abandoned the heaven

Beyond the heavens, the eternal loneliness flows silently. Walking on the steps paved with green jade slabs, the blood on Xingzhi's shoulder drips all the way. Suddenly, I don't know whether it's because of dizziness or weakness in legs, Xingzhi suddenly fell on the long steps. The wound frozen by the water-stopping technique suddenly split open, and a trace of flames jumped out. Xingzhi frowned and condensed the magic again to suppress the flames.

The wound can't heal... So, his divine power has degenerated to this extent...

It seems that even if there is no such thing, his life as a god will soon come to an end.

God... has really been abandoned by heaven!

Xingzhi looked up at the galaxy hanging in the sky, and suddenly laughed out loud: "In terms of indifference and cruelty, what in the world can compare to you? You create and use, and then discard and abandon... What kind of power of gods can be compared with the way of heaven? It's just nonsense.

Now I think that no matter who it is, they are just things you can play with." He sighed, and his breath seemed to spread far away in the empty sky. "God is cruel!"

However, Xingzhi just sighed, looking at the seemingly endless long steps, covering the wound on his shoulder with one hand, suppressing the flames, and continued to walk up step by step.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the long steps finally came to an end. There was a wide platform there. Xingzhi climbed onto the altar, took solemn steps, and walked to the center of the altar. The golden light immediately enveloped his body, making his black eyes sparkle.

He squatted, knelt on one knee on the ground, and poured his divine power into the jade slab. On the circular altar, another radiance appeared on the ground, as if it was reflected in the order of the stars in the sky, arranged in disorder but in a perfect harmony.

As Xingzhi poured more and more of his magical power into the golden light, some figures could be seen faintly. They were dressed in wide robes like Xingzhi, but their movements were different. This was originally a place where gods would come to discuss important matters.

Each god had his own position. These images were the residual images of them staying here for thousands of years.

In the distant past, when the gods were still there, a resolution could only be implemented after the majority agreed. However, now, only Xingzhi was here... He placed the four seals outside the Ruins of the Abyss on the ground. It was not difficult to connect the seals with the Outer Heaven.

But in a moment, Xingzhi felt a breeze in the air of the Outer Heaven that had not moved for thousands of years. It was extremely fine, but it was too easy to catch. He could imagine how happy the immortals would be outside the Xutian Abyss at this time.

The temporary barrier was broken, but the gate of Xutian Abyss was closed. The monster would not escape again...

Xingzhi knelt on the ground for a while, feeling a little exhausted. In the end, he just suppressed all the pain and fixed his eyes. He never looked at the posture of his friends in the past. He just stared at the stairs, just like when he came, step by step.

Anyone can be weak, anyone can reminisce about the past, but Xingzhi can't. He still has things to do and people to save.

The blood on his shoulder soaked his clothes, slid down his arm to his fingertips, and dripped to the ground. Xingzhi was too focused on walking his own way and didn't look back, so he didn't see the golden light on the altar stained with his blood.

After leaving the green jade stairs, Xingzhi immediately flew up on the clouds. Now Tianwaitian has been connected to Xutian Abyss. He went in the direction of the thick miasma, but in a moment he entered Xutian Abyss. It was very difficult to distinguish the direction in the darkness. He searched for a long time before he saw a little star-like light. He rushed forward, but slowed down when he reached Shen Li.

He saw that she was sleeping quietly with her eyes closed, her expression peaceful, as if she had a beautiful dream. Xingzhi couldn't bear to wake her up. He had seen Shen Li sleeping, with her brows furrowed and her breathing shallow, as if she was on guard all the time. If anyone around her dared to do something bad, she would immediately jump up and crush the person to death. Such a peaceful sleeping face is really rare.

He stood quietly beside her. All it took to destroy Xutianyuan was a spell. However, after the spell was recited, every time a part of Xutianyuan collapsed, a part of his divine power would be drawn away. If it were in the past, drawing away those divine powers would only make him a little tired, but now it was no longer possible. The disappearance of Xutianyuan would exhaust all his strength...

Shen Li's eyelashes twitched suddenly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Xingzhi standing in front of her with a faint smile, Shen Li could not help but smile: "I had a beautiful dream, and I saw you when I woke up. It really couldn't be better."

From now on, I will wish you beautiful dreams every day, and let you wake up beside me every day... Xingzhi's mouth twitched, but he could not say this promise in the end. He just smiled and asked softly, "What did you dream about that made you so happy?" "Just now..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but raise a smile, "I saw you lying in a rocking chair under the grape vines, basking in the sun, holding an unfinished book in your hand, and sleeping so soundly. The sunlight was so warm, shining through the grape vines, and sprinkled on your face. You were so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off you."

Xingzhi reached out and touched her smiling cheek. He smiled too, but his throat was choked and he couldn't speak. Knowing his inner feelings, Shen Li hurriedly asked, "Why did you pick me up then?" Xingzhi seemed to remember something, shook his head and smiled, "I have never seen a phoenix that is so ugly and unique, so I wanted to pick it up and observe it carefully." He paused, "But, it's a good thing that I picked it up because of curiosity."

Shen Li muttered a little dissatisfied, "I am still very beautiful after growing hair..."

"I am the most beautiful like this." Xingzhi held her in his arms and snuggled quietly for a while, "Shen Li, are you scared?" "

A little bit. But I won't be scared when you hold me."

"I'm scared." Shen Li may have an afterlife, but after his death, he may turn into ashes or become a ray of life between heaven and earth...

He hugged Shen Li tighter, "You are going to run away with someone else, I can't understand it..."

Shen Li was stunned, then smiled, "When did Lord Xingzhi lose confidence in himself? Who else in the three realms can compare with you?" Xingzhi did not answer. Shen Li only heard a faint chanting of spells in her ears.

Those spells seemed to turn into golden floating lights, passing through the dark Xutianyuan and disappearing around. Shen Li was stunned. Suddenly, the iron chain that bound her shook a little. Shen Li asked: "Is Xutianyuan going to collapse?"

"The space of Xutianyuan is too big. If it collapses immediately, something unexpected may happen.

This spell will make it collapse slowly from the outside to the inside."

Shen Li smiled helplessly: "Watch yourself die slowly... Xingzhi, you are really too cruel."

The most sour and soft part of Xingzhi's heart seemed to be hit hard by these words. With just a light breath, the pain was squeezed to all parts of his body.

The wound on his shoulder split open, and he pressed it down silently, without even frowning, just touching Shen Li's head and said: "I'm sorry... I scared you too..."

Shen Li looked at him for a long time, and finally bumped his chest with her head, saying helplessly: "Who asked you to apologize? I feel sorry for you!" Carrying so much, even death cannot choose a more painful way.

Xingzhi has been bound by the invisible power of the Heavenly Dao all his life...

After hearing this, Xingzhi's eyes fell on her, and finally just smiled: "It feels good to be loved by others."

The gods in the sky are too high. Not to mention mortals, even immortals can only look up.

They will admire, worship, and be in awe, but they will never look at them with the mentality of looking at the weak. Who will be sad because of the helplessness of the gods? Who will feel distressed because of their helplessness?

Everyone has forgotten that the gods are ruthless, not because they lack the heart to be moved, but because they are bound too tightly. She moved her hands, but was restrained by the iron chain. Shen Li's eyebrows drooped, but suddenly she saw that the iron chain trembled again.

Shen Li heard a "click" sound coming from a distance, and the chain that locked her hands suddenly broke, turning into pieces of scrap iron that fell into the abyss. Shen Li stared at Xingzhi blankly. Perhaps it was an illusion.

he felt that the blood color on Xingzhi's face was slowly fading away. Xingzhi turned his head, avoiding Shen Li's gaze, and looked at an unknown place: "The gate of Xutianyuan may have collapsed. This iron chain is connected from the gate.

It is used to control the fire seal and also to extract the power of the fire seal to balance each other." He paused, "Shen Li... the gate collapsed, which means none of us can get out." "Yeah." Shen Li nodded, she stretched out her hand and hugged Xingzhi's waist, "I didn't plan to go out at first. This is good."

She found a stable position on his chest, put her face on it, and sighed comfortably, "I wanted to do this a long time ago, you don't know how hard I have endured." Xingzhi was slightly startled, suddenly smiled, and also hugged Shen Li.

The loud noise of the collapse in Xutianyuan was getting closer and closer, but Xingzhi and Shen Li seemed to hear nothing, quietly snuggling together, as if they had hidden in the safest haven, no longer caring about the storms outside. "Bang!"

A loud noise different from the previous collapse sound came. Xingzhi frowned and turned his head to see a beam of extremely hot fire split the chaotic darkness in the abyss of the sky. Shen Li poked her head out of Xingzhi's arms and saw a hole in the darkness burned by the light.

She saw the astonished immortals outside and Feng Lai coming step by step. Shen Li's lips moved slightly.

The light on him was too dazzling, so Shen Li couldn't see his appearance clearly, but she knew that kind of aura after only feeling it once. Every step he took was neither fast nor slow, but in the blink of an eye he was beside Shen Li.

He turned his palm, and the poisonous flame on Xingzhi's shoulder was instantly collected in his palm. He glanced at Xingzhi, and then his eyes fell on Shen Li, taking a close look at her facial features. The corners of Feng Lai's lips twitched, but finally he turned his head and looked into the darkness of the depths of Xutian Abyss, and continued to move forward: "Live for your mother's sake."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Li suddenly felt a strong force wrapping around her body, and the red flames wrapped around her and Xingzhi, dragging them towards the light outside Xutian Abyss. Shen Li came back to her senses and realized what he was going to do. She was in a state of confusion. Through the barrier of flames, she could only see the dazzling figure getting farther and farther away.

No... She hadn't seen it clearly, and she hadn't felt it clearly. No... She wanted to escape from the flames, but she couldn't use any strength. The darkness in the Xutian Abyss was getting farther and farther away. The power kept putting them firmly on the ground before disappearing.

Shen Li reached out to grab it, but only had time to touch the last warmth. It was such a scorching flame, but it didn't hurt anyone at all...

She followed the direction where the flames disappeared. The gate of Xutian Abyss was gone, leaving only a black hole in the air, as if the sky had been torn open, and the light that Feng Lai had sent them out had long disappeared.

Shen Li's fingertips trembled slightly. Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly felt a heat on her shoulder. Shen Li looked back in shock, but saw Xingzhi leaning on her shoulder, blood gushing out of his mouth.

Phoenix Comes

Blood kept pouring out of Xingzhi's mouth. He covered his mouth and tried to push Shen Li away, but his hands were so weak that he fell to the side before he could push Shen Li away. He lay on the ground and vomited a large mouthful of blood. His spotless white clothes, his always clean and slender fingers, and his face that always had a faint smile were now stained with blood.

"Xingzhi..." Shen Li called him in shock, with unprecedented fear and panic in her heart. She almost knelt to move to Xingzhi's side and held him on her legs.

Her fingertips and lips trembled even more than Xingzhi's. "Why..." She reached out to wipe the blood from Xingzhi's mouth, but blood immediately gushed out again, wetting her sleeves.

"Didn't it come out?" Her voice was trembling. "He was buried in Xutianyuan instead of me... He..." Shen Li choked, "Why are you still like this?" The
cold palm was tightly held, and Xingzhi's eyes looked at Shen Li quietly. His calm black eyes seemed to contain a calming power.

He swallowed the fishy smell surging in his throat, his breath was weak, but there was no weakness in his expression: "Gods... have no reason to exist anymore." Tianwai Tian will disappear with the disappearance of Xutianyuan.

Nothing can threaten the survival of the Three Realms anymore. The world no longer needs a power that can compete with the way of heaven. Itis time for a god, a position born from heaven, to retire. "What if the gods have no reason to exist!"

Shen Li held his hand tightly, her voice as dry as if squeezed out of her throat, "Xingzhi still has a reason to exist! Not the gods, but you, Xingzhi, you still have so many reasons to live..." "If it's still okay..." Xingzhi smiled, "Shen Li is the only reason I'm alive."

The Xutianyuan in the sky trembled violently, and the scope of darkness slowly shrank. No matter how Xingzhi clenched his teeth, blood still flowed from the corners of his mouth. He felt Shen Li's hands trembling constantly, and he was so flustered that he didn't have the usual majestic look.

"Shen Li is so bad at taking care of herself... She is so bad at feeling sorry for herself..."

Xingzhi coughed twice, "If possible, I would like to take care of you and feel sorry for you..."

Shen Li felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if her blood vessels were crushed: "You actually do what you say!"

Xingzhi smiled, shook his head, and suddenly coughed violently.

There was so much blood that Shen Li could hardly hold his hand. Maybe her expression was too sad.

Xingzhi smiled and said, "Every word is full of blood... I have played it thoroughly today. I have been a submissive and one of your kind."

Shen Li gritted her teeth: "At a time like this, only you can make a joke..." This sentence evoked too many memories of the past, and even Xingzhi fell silent.

After a long silence, he grinned, three parts sighing, three parts helpless, and mixed with a bit of begging: "Then, Shen Li, just smile." Tears fell on Xingzhi's face, and the warm tears streaked across his bloody cheeks, leaving a pale mark. Shen Li pursed her lips and smiled.

Xingzhi turned his head, closed his eyes, and sighed: "It's really... horrible..." As soon as he finished speaking, Xingzhi's face suddenly turned pale, and his muscles suddenly tensed. At the same time, Xu Tian Yuan trembled violently, and there was a sound of shattering from the sky. Shen Li turned his head blankly, but saw that the black space in the air was like porcelain, shattered by an invisible force, and the fragments turned into ashes.

The monsters and ambitions sealed inside disappeared with the breeze. The sun penetrated the miasma and shone on this land that had been covered by the darkness of Xu Tian Yuan for thousands of years, sweeping away all the darkness.

In the scorching sunlight, Shen Li seemed to see a cluster of weak flames leaping in the air. It slowly fell down like a leaf and sank into the earth. "Shen Li." She heard Xingzhi ask her softly, "Is this the sunshine in your dream?"

Shen Li looked at him, and there was no blood flowing from the corners of his lips, but for some reason, she became more flustered, "No." She said, "No, you have to accompany me to find that sunshine, that scene." " What a pity... But... I believe that you will find it in the future..."

He slowly closed his eyes as if he was very tired, "That sunshine."

Xingzhi 's hand holding Shen Li's palm gradually lost its strength.

Shen Li lowered her head, holding his hand and letting the back of his hand touch her cheek: "Asshole..."

She said in a hoarse voice, "You know that what I'm looking for is the Xingzhi who is basking in that sunshine... Asshole."

You asked her, where can I find another Xingzhi! However, no one responded to her again.

The golden light that floated down from somewhere in the sky was like heavy snow in the middle of winter, covering the sky. The immortals standing quietly nearby all looked up, and someone shouted, "It's the divine light! It's the divine light of Lord Xingzhi returning to heaven!"

The immortals knelt down in unison, bowed their heads, and kowtowed, "Farewell Lord." "Farewell Lord Xingzhi." The last god between heaven and earth disappeared. Did the way of heaven finally admit that he left as a god?

Did the way of heaven finally let him become a source of vitality between heaven and earth, coexisting with all things and sharing the same lifespan as heaven and earth... Then, wouldn't she not be able to meet Xingzhi even in reincarnation?

Shen Li looked up at the golden light in the sky. In such a dazzling brilliance, her eyes gradually dimmed all the light.

There will never be such a person again... She held the gradually cooling body in her arms, gently pressed against his cheek, as if she had extinguished her breath with him. After an unknown amount of time, someone came forward and called softly, "Lord BiCang."

Shen Li did not respond. The person paused and said, "Lord BiCang Shen Li, the God has passed away and his consciousness is no longer there. His body cannot remain in the mortal world at will. After the Gods of all generations passed away, they were all required to use the Three Flavors True Fire to transform them into something invisible. Lord BiCang, please hand over the God of Xingzhi to me."

Shen Li then looked up at the person who had come. It turned out that it was the Heavenly Lord himself who came to the Immortal Realm World to ask for someone. She lowered her head, still sticking to Xingzhi in the same posture: "No."

The Heavenly Lord's face changed slightly, but seeing Shen Li like this, he was not angry, and only said: "The body of the Divine Lord can only be cremated with the Three Flames True Fire, in the greatest way to protect the world." "Oh." Shen Li sneered, "When he was alive, you asked him to protect the Three Realms and the people of the world in everything.

Now that he is dead, you even don't let go of his bones, and you want his corpse to contribute to the peace of the Three Realms?" She hugged Xingzhi's hand tightly, and a red light flashed in her eyes. She burned a barrier in front of the Heavenly Lord, and the scorching flames burned off a few strands of hair on the Heavenly Lord's temples, forcing the Heavenly Lord to take two steps back. "If you have the ability, just snatch him from me."

The Heavenly Lord's eyes darkened, and he heard Shen Li say, "If you really snatch him and burn him today, one day, I, the Lord Bicang Shen Li, will definitely attack the Nine Heavens with fire, and will definitely burn your heaven without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Her voice was not loud, but the decisiveness in her words frightened everyone present. Across the flame barrier, all the immortals saw Shen Li's bloodshot eyes staring at them coldly. When the stalemate was just around the corner, Youlan suddenly stepped forward and bowed to the Heavenly Lord, "Heavenly Lord, Xingzhi Shenjun has been shackled by the people of the Three Realms for his entire life. At least now he should be free." She leaned over and knelt, "Youlan begs the Heavenly Lord to show some leniency."

"Grandpa Heavenly Lord." Furongalso lifted his robe and knelt beside Youlan. "Although the Lord of God has passed away, everyone has just seen that the Lord of God is willing to be with Lord BiCang. Grandpa Heavenly Lord respects the Lord of God very much. Why not give him a little respect and tolerance at this time. Furongjun, please show mercy."

Seeing the two juniors like this, the Heavenly Lord frowned slightly. Suddenly, there were scattered voices of kneeling and begging behind him. He was stunned and turned his head, but saw that all the immortals present knelt down and begged him. The Heavenly Lord glanced around, sighed again, turned his head and looked at Shen Li behind the flame barrier, and finally turned his eyes to the face of Xingzhi who had closed his eyes peacefully: "Forget it!" He sighed, "Forget it!" After that, he left with a wave of his sleeves.

Furong and Youlan stood up, and the two of them looked at Shen Li behind the barrier, and left on the cloud without saying a word. The immortals also followed them and gradually left.

Only after everyone had left did Shen Li remove the flames, hugging Xingzhi and sitting quietly: "You are free." She said hoarsely, "Look, no one will use the identity of a god to imprison you anymore."

But Xingzhi no longer had any reaction. Shen Li hugged him and buried her head in his cold neck, smelling the faint fragrance on his body, imagining that he would get up the next moment. The golden light in the sky disappeared, and the yellow sand was blown away by the wind. Shen Li didn't know how long she sat here, until someone called from a distance: "Prince!" It was the people from the Immortal Realm world who came.

Shen Li looked up and saw that the person walking first was the Immortal Realm Lord.

She was not wearing a mask and had not transformed into a man's body. She walked over eagerly. She looked at Shen Li in silence for a long time.

Finally, she squatted down, looked into her eyes, and said soothingly: "Silly child, it's time to go home." "Master..." She looked up at her, her eyes completely devoid of the former luster, "I lost two people who should not have been lost." Her voice was so hoarse that Shen Muyue's heart softened: "A Li..."

She didn't know what to say. After a long pause, she just said, "Go home first." One year later.

The Abyss of the Sky disappeared, the miasma in the Immortal Realm world was decreasing day by day, and the number of monsters that were infected by the miasma and turned into Immortal Realms and Immortal Realms was also decreasing.

Without external battles, the disputes over interests in the court became more and more intense.

Shen Li did not like these open and secret struggles, so she simply stayed sick all day and did not go to the court or the meeting hall.

There was no war for her to worry about, so she wandered around the capital of the Immortal Realm world every day, occasionally catching a few lazy generals who came out to drink, and cleaning up a few new soldiers who took advantage of their power to bully others. People gave her a new name of "big bad luck". Rou Ya felt very unfair for Shen Li: "He is the one who has big bad luck! Don't let Rou Ya know which unlucky guy spread this, and when she knows, I will let Xixi peck his head bald!" Shen Li sat on the chair and drank a sip of tea leisurely: "Nothing wrong." She said, "I am a very unlucky person."

Rou Ya was stunned when she heard this, and lowered her eyebrows. She still remembered that when the prince came back with the body of Lord Xingzhi covered in blood, Shen Li seemed to have lost her soul.

After sending Lord Xingzhi to the Snow Sacrifice Temple, she stayed alone in the ice and snow for three months with injuries all over her body.

Finally, the Immortal Realm Lord couldn't stand it anymore and dragged her out by force. She fell seriously ill after coming out, and it lasted for another three or four months.

After she recovered from the illness, Shen Li seemed to have figured it out and returned to her previous appearance. But Rou Ya knew that Shen Li's heart was already rotten. "I won't go back tomorrow."

Shen Li finished drinking the tea and said softly, "Just prepare the food you want to eat." Rou Ya was stunned, and suddenly remembered that tomorrow was the one-year anniversary of Lord Xingzhi's death.

Rou Ya nodded with some worry. Shen Li glanced at her and ruffled her hair: "Don't worry, it's all over. I know." This life was saved by Xingzhi and her father. Even if she didn't live for herself, she should live well for them, take care of herself, and feel sorry for herself. If Xingzhi couldn't help her, she would have to take care of herself. Rouya nodded and watched Shen Li walk away, with only a sigh.

The door of the Snow Sacrifice Hall was opened again. The air of ice and snow poured out from the inside. Shen Li closed her eyes gently. Such a coolness reminded her of Xingzhi. She stepped into the Snow Sacrifice Hall and placed Xingzhi's body in the seal created by the world. It not only kept his body intact, but also prevented people with bad intentions from stealing his body. "Xingzhi."

She broke through the layers of frost and looked up at the icicle in the middle, but her pupils suddenly shrank.

There was no one in the icicle! Shen Li was stunned. She stepped forward quickly and looked around the icicle in the middle, but she didn't see Xingzhi.

She panicked, but a new hope ignited.

She clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down.

But at this moment, Rouya called out from outside the Snow Sacrifice Hall: "Prince! Prince!" Shen Li left the Snow Sacrifice Hall, but saw Rouya running to her breathlessly: "Yes! Yes...

There is a monster! On the main street!" "It's a snow monster!"

Shen Li pushed Rouya away and left quickly. Her steps were a little staggering because of trembling.

She only looked forward, searching for her familiar breath, running all the way to the main street of the capital, searching forward like crazy.

Suddenly, she heard noisy sounds in front of her, the exclamations of the people, and the scolding of the officers and soldiers.

She pushed the crowd away and saw a white back standing in the street. He had his back to her, and his black hair was already snow-white, but Shen Li knew that it was this person, no doubt.

She suddenly stepped forward and hugged him from behind. "I know it's you." She said, "I know it's you!"

Shen Li didn't know what the people around her were reacting to. She only felt a pair of cold hands covering her hands: "Be gentle." He said, "It hurts."

Shen Li dared to loosen her grip a little. The man turned around, with a pair of familiar eyebrows and the same smile as before.

He said, "Shen Li, you should smile at this time." Shen Li's tears flowed even more happily when she heard this: "But... it's not as you wish."

Xingzhi sighed, "Can't you just listen to me for once?" He leaned over, lifted Shen Li's chin, and then pressed his lips on it, "After all, he is my husband." The exclamations around her became the background, and Shen Li hugged and kissed him in the street without caring.

Xingzhi God is back, but his divine power is extremely weak, as weak as that of an ordinary immortal, and his body is not even as good as that of an ordinary immortal.

Shen Li was worried that the remaining miasma in the Immortal Realm world would hinder him, so she took him directly to the human world and bought a small house, just like when he was still Xingyun.

The people from the heaven came to look for him several times, but Xingzhi avoided them and showed his reclusive attitude.

The people from the heaven understood and stopped looking for him. Shen Li settled down in the cottage with Xingzhi. Life seemed to have returned to the way it was at the beginning. The sickly scholar and the domineering queen planted grapes in the backyard.

They worked together, chatting while planting: "Aren't you curious about how I came back?"

Xingzhi asked Shen Li. Shen Li paused: "I'm curious, but I dare not ask." She confessed, "If I ask and find out that this is a dream, what should I do?"

Xingzhi was stunned, thinking that Shen Li must have been scared this time. He smiled and said nothing more. Don't worry, he still has so much time to tell Shen Li that this is reality.

But... he looked up at the sky, the broken outer world, the golden images of his old friends...

He lowered his head and loosened the soil. The memories of the ancient gods would only be like a dream for future people. He could think that in the West Garden of the Heaven Realm, the spirit tablets floating with the remaining divine power of the gods should have been reduced to ashes by now.

Because... they all became the power for him to live in the end.

His friends and the past could no longer be retrieved.

"Shen Li." He suddenly called, "I am no longer as strong as I used to be. Will you dislike me?"

Shen Li glanced at him and asked naturally, "Why do you dislike me? At the beginning, I just fell in love with a sick mortal."

They turned around and it turned out that they were just back to the starting point.

Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said no more.

The last god in this world disappeared, but there was an idle immortal.

Year after year, time in the human world passed too slowly, and the grape vines in the courtyard of Shen Li and Xingzhi had begun to touch large bunches of grapes.
That day, the sun shone through the grapevines onto Xingzhi's face in the rocking chair. He closed his eyes and took a light nap. Suddenly, he heard a voice saying, "Try some grapes." Xingzhi opened his eyes and saw Shen Li standing beside him. She was standing against the light, and her silhouette was too beautiful. Xingzhi reached out to take the grapes, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Shen Li, you owed me two wishes before."

Shen Li was startled, and pondered for a long time, as if she just remembered this: "What other wishes do you have?"

"The first wish is that you will help me pick grapes every summer in the future."

Shen Li lay down on the rocking chair next to him and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"The second wish..."

Shen Li turned her head to look at him: "Are you going to make all the wishes today?" Xingzhi also turned his head at this time. The breath of the two was very close. Xingzhi smiled and said, "Because, the second wish will take a long time to complete." He got up and quietly kissed Shen Li on the lips.

"Help me give birth to as many children as a bunch of grapes."

Shen Li was shocked, pushed him and ran away: "You are so crazy!"

In the courtyard, only Xingzhi could not stop laughing.

At the right time, the sun was shining.

The Phoenix Comes (Part 1)

There was a loud noise, and the basement suddenly trembled, as if a very hot air wave was sweeping out from the depths. Liu Yu's body tilted, and he had to hold on to the wall to avoid falling to the ground. When the tremor subsided, the disciples behind him were all whispering, guessing what kind of monster the Immortal Realm Lord had created this time, which made such a big noise at the beginning of its birth. Everyone was worried.

Liu Yu glanced at them, walked forward silently, pushed open the solid wooden door, and the next road was only for those who had obtained special permission.

Torches were placed beside the closed corridor. Perhaps it was Liu Yu's illusion, she seemed to think that the firelight today was brighter than in the past. When she reached the end of the corridor, the stone door in front of her was closed. Liu Yu raised her hand and knocked on the door knocker lightly, but after only one knock, the stone door collapsed. Liu Yu was stunned. The dazzling light in the room shone through the thick dust, so dazzling that Liu Yu couldn't help but squint slightly.

"It's done! Hahaha! It's finally done! It's finally done!"

Liu Ming's voice was hoarse with an almost crazy joy. His back looked a bit scary in the reflection of the fire. Liu Yu walked slowly to his side: "Master..." She looked past Liu Ming's body and saw that the house was in a mess, the alchemy furnace was overturned, and the flames were burning everywhere. In the fire, a young child stood quietly. He closed his eyes as if he was sleeping. He looked only six or seven years old, no different from an ordinary child, but there was a flame burning on his body.

Liu Yu was slightly surprised: "Master... what is this?"

"Feng Lai." Liu Ming's eyes were full of the light burned by the fire. He grinned, "His name is Feng Lai."

Liu Ming stepped forward, waded through the fire, stopped in front of Feng Lai, and carried him out of the sea of fire. Feng Lai was still sleeping. Liu Ming looked at him and smiled strangely: "With him, I can make more monsters, and I don't have to worry about not being able to control them. I just need to control this child."
Such a small child... is the monster that the master has worked hard to refine?

"But it hasn't woken up yet." Liu Ming stuffed Feng Lai into Liu Yu's arms, "Take him back and lie down first, I'll check if there is anything wrong." After saying that, he went to explore the room that was still burning with fire.

Liu Yu stared at Liu Ming blankly, then looked at the child in her arms, and finally sighed and took the order and left.

She walked out of the stone hall with the child in her arms. The disciples all pointed at her behind her back. Some said that the master was crazy, and some just shook their heads and sighed. Liu Yu ignored it until she took Feng Lai back to her room. Looking at the child's tender face, Liu Yu also felt that the master might not be normal. How could such a weak child have the ability to control those monsters.

Just as she was thinking, she saw the child's eyelids move slightly. Liu Yu leaned closer to look at him. In a trance, the child opened his eyes, and her face was clearly reflected in his red pupils.

"Feng Lai?" Liu Yu saw her smile unfold in his pupils. The child's eyes were clearer than the stream. "My name is Liu Yu."
Feng Lai blinked at her, as if he didn't know what she meant. Liu Yu pondered for a while, thinking that this child was created by the master, like a baby, without any understanding of this world, and probably couldn't understand what she said.

Liu Yu wanted to get up and leave, and wanted to pour him a cup of tea, but before she took a step, her sleeves suddenly tightened, and the child blinked and looked at her steadily, with a small hand tightly holding her sleeve. Liu Yu was stunned and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Feng Lai didn't say anything.

Maybe... he was afraid of being alone. Liu Yu thought so, and simply bent down and picked him up from the bed. Feng Lai let her pick him up in a daze, but subconsciously put his hands around Liu Yu's neck. He tilted his head and his breath sprayed on Liu Yu's cheek.

Liu Yu carried him to the table and sat down, letting Feng Lai sit on her lap. She took a cup, poured him a cup of tea, and then put it to Feng Lai's mouth: "Do you want tea?" The fragrant smell drifted into Feng Lai's nose.

He blinked and finally moved his eyes away from Liu Yu's face and fell on the green tea soup. He opened his mouth and tasted it carefully. The feeling brought by the taste made him open his eyes in surprise, and his eyes fell on Liu Yu's face again. Liu Yu smiled: "Tea." She taught him, "This is tea." "Fried?" "Tea." "Wipe..." "No, it's tea." "Tea." Hearing that he pronounced it correctly in just a short time, Liu Yu was also surprised: "You are so smart." "So smart." Liu Yu rubbed his head. Just when they were chatting happily, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The person walked into the room with a gloomy face and asked in an almost questioning tone: "What kind of monster has the master refined again!"

The smile on Liu Yu's face faded slightly. She touched Feng Lai's head and said softly, "Senior Sister." Shen Muyue said angrily before she walked into the inner room: "Does he know how many people of the Immortal Realm clan have been hurt by those monsters before!

And how many soldiers died while trying to catch monsters!" She walked around the screen, but saw a child with strange eyes in Liu Yu's arms. She was slightly startled, "Whose child is this?" Liu Yu was silent for a moment, then sighed, "This is the new monster that the master has refined."

Shen Muyue was stunned, and suddenly became furious: "Ridiculous!" She flicked her sleeves, and the force of the hem directly shattered the screen.

After the sound, the room was silent. Shen Muyue looked at Liu Yu quietly, "Are you still going to continue helping him?" Liu Yu was silent.

After not hearing the answer, Shen Muyue slammed the door and left with a sullen face. The screen fragments were scattered all over the floor. Liu Yu sat there exhausted, feeling indescribably depressed. In fact, she had doubted her master before. But now the number of monsters is beyond their control.

Instead of trying other ways to destroy them, it is better to follow the master's plan and make a more powerful monster for him to control...

Before she finished thinking about the troubles in her heart, Liu Yu suddenly felt a warmth in her eyebrows. Feng Lai's small fingers gently fell on her frowning eyebrows, rubbed them twice, and flattened the wrinkles. Liu Yu was slightly startled, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay."

She held Feng Lai's hand, thinking helplessly, but the master made such a child, this... How can she feel at ease to throw so many monsters to this child.

Feng Lai seemed to like Liu Yu very much, always sticking to her and refusing to get off. Liu Ming saw that he simply handed Feng Lai to Liu Yu to take care of, and he devoted himself to the busier process of refining monsters. Liu Ming never told Liu Yu how to educate Feng Lai, nor did he tell her what kind of person he should be.

It seemed that as long as someone fed him and kept him alive, it would be fine.

If you think about it carefully, the only thing he told her was to let Feng Lai have more contact with monsters. But how could Liu Yu feel at ease letting a child who knew nothing go to contact monsters alone? So she always brought him with her.

Feng Lai was very smart and sensible, and he learned everything quickly. In just ten days, he went in and out of the alchemy room with Liu Yu, and occasionally helped her. But even with Feng Lai's help, Liu Yu was still very busy.

In addition, she had to take care of Feng Lai's daily life and diet, so she became very haggard in the past half month. The criticism of monsters in the court was growing day by day. The elders invited Liu Ming and his disciples to the meeting hall to discuss whether to continue or stop the monster issue.

Before Liu Yu left, she arranged all the food for Feng Lai and left in a hurry.

No one expected that this meeting would last for three days. The elders wanted to persuade Liu Ming to give up the monster beast, but Liu Ming refused to back down. After three days of stalemate, Liu Ming finally walked away, saying, "It is a foregone conclusion that I will attack the heaven with the monster beast. Opponents can leave."
The elders had no choice but to disperse the meeting.

Liu Yu was able to leave the meeting hall, but when he returned to his room, he did not see Feng Lai. After asking, he learned that he had stayed in the alchemy room for three days and three nights. Liu Yu went to look for it, and as soon as he pushed the door open and entered the room, he saw Feng Lai reaching out to take something out of the still burning stove. Liu Yu was so scared that he hugged his waist and dragged him out without saying anything. Feng Lai kept shouting: "Wait! Liu Yu, wait! I'm about to get it!"

Feng Lai was strong, and Liu Yu couldn't get away from him. When he took out the things, his dirty face was full of smiles, but Liu Yu only lifted his sleeves and pinched his arm up and down to check it again. After making sure that there was no burn, she felt relieved. But as soon as she felt relieved, her anger could not be suppressed. She shouted in a stern voice: "You don't want this arm anymore! Give me the knife, I'll chop it off!" The words were fierce, and she must have been angry.
Feng Lai was startled by the scolding. Just as she was about to hold the things in her hand in front of Liu Yu's face, she silently took them back. She honestly took out a knife from the side of the furnace, handed it to Liu Yu, and then stretched out her arm.

Liu Yu was stunned, staring at Feng Lai: "Do you think I dare not chop it? Are you forcing me?"

"If you want to chop it, I'll chop it for you." His eyes did not dodge, as if to say, I'll give you whatever you want.

Liu Yu looked at him, and she didn't know what kind of taste surged in her heart. She stood in front of Feng Lai for a long time, and finally took the knife from his hand and threw it aside. She was about to hit him on the head with a slap, but the force that fell in the end was incredibly light. Feng Lai looked at her quietly, but saw a helpless smile on her face: "Stinky boy."

Feng Lai let Liu Yu's hand rub her head randomly, and she didn't know that the look in her eyes was rubbed by her like broken light.

Liu Yu suddenly stopped, and then gestured for a while: "Are you growing too fast?" She asked, "Why do you feel so much taller all of a sudden?"

Feng Lai did not answer this question, but handed the thing in his hand to Liu Yu: "Pills." He said, "It should be able to relieve fatigue."

After tinkering with it for three days, was it this thing that he reached into the fire to take? Liu Yu took the pill, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, then sighed: "This... is poisonous..."

Feng Lai was stunned, as if all his strength was drained away in an instant. Liu Yu looked at his expression, then smiled, tilted his head back and swallowed the pill. Feng Lai was startled and reached out to stop him, but Liu Yu had already swallowed it. His heart tightened: "Liu Yu!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Yu smiled, "Although a smile is a little toxic, it is very effective in relieving fatigue. Thank you Feng Lai."

Feng Lai looked at her in a daze. It was today that he understood two emotions, one was loss, and the other was heartache, or perhaps, it should be called heartbeat.

The Phoenix Comes (Part 1 Continuation)

In a month, Fenglai had grown up like a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, and his mind and strength had grown along with his body. After Fenglai accidentally melted the alchemy furnace, Liuyu knew that he was powerful and would definitely not let other monsters bully him, so he no longer watched him so closely.
But Fenglai still liked to stick to Liuyu, unless Liuyu explicitly asked him to do something, at other times, he would just sit aside and stare at Liuyu in a daze, unwilling to run away. Liu Yu was very confident in him and never looked at Feng Lai with the eyes of a Immortal Realm beast, but...

"After all, he has the blood of a Immortal Realm beast. Why do you let him move around like this!"

That day, Liu Yu was tinkering with the elixir in the alchemy room. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Shen Muyue walked into the room with an angry look and shouted, "Come with me to the front yard!"

"He just went to the front yard to help me get something." Liu Yu turned back in astonishment: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong!" Shen Muyue stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yu's hand, dragging her out the door. The medicinal materials Liu Yu was holding were scattered all over the floor. She frowned slightly, but she was stunned when she stepped out of the door. There was a fire in the direction of the front yard. Liu Yu was stunned. Shen Muyue was about to speak, but suddenly saw Liu Yu's figure flash and disappeared.

Walking to the front yard, Liu Yu's black pupils were dyed red by the fire. The houses and plants were all covered with blazing flames. Some people even caught fire and screamed and rolled on the ground. Those who were not burned by the fire fled in all directions.

The scene was in chaos. Liu Yu looked around in panic. In the heavy firelight, he suddenly saw Feng Lai standing quietly in black clothes. There were four or five people in front of him trapped in a circle of flames. It seemed that someone had suffocated and fainted. Feng Lai stared at them with terrifyingly red eyes, but there was no expression in his eyes. Just like the other monsters created by Liu Ming, he was a monster who loved bloodlust and had no emotions.

"Feng Lai..." Liu Yu's voice trembled slightly. She rushed forward and stretched out her hand to grab his wrist as usual, but she didn't expect Feng Lai to turn around suddenly. His bloody and terrifying eyes looked into Liu Yu's eyes.

The hot and scorching murderous aura pierced Liu Yu's heart like a sword. Liu Yu was stunned. Before she could react, Feng Lai suddenly raised his hand, and the flames of fire brushed across Liu Yu's neck like a knife.

In a flash, Liu Yu felt the back of her clothes tightened and was dragged back several steps. She barely avoided this fatal blow. "Are you crazy? Don't you know he is a monster!" Shen Muyue's scolding sounded behind her.

Liu Yu turned her head slightly and looked at her in a daze: "Senior sister... I..." She just didn't think Feng Lai would hurt her. But before she could finish her words, a mouthful of hot blood suddenly gushed out of her mouth. Shen Muyue was startled: "Liu Yu!" Liu Yu was also startled: "Why..."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly felt weak, her feet softened, and she fell into Shen Muyue's arms. She gasped and covered her chest, feeling as if there was a fire burning in her chest. "Where are you hurt?"

Shen Muyue checked her neck and saw a red mark of burns on her neck. There were no wounds elsewhere, but Liu Yu seemed to be in great pain. She covered her chest and didn't say a word. Shen Muyue was anxious, but she saw that she was about to close her eyes and kept calling her name. Just when she was anxious, someone suddenly knelt down beside her. Shen Muyue froze all over.

Just when she wanted to take Liu Yu away, she didn't expect a pair of hands that were still a little tender to hold Liu Yu's palm tightly. Those hands seemed to have taken away the heat in Liu Yu's body, making Liu Yu's breathing gradually smoother. The flames around them slowly died down.

Shen Muyue frowned slightly, her eyes still alert.

She turned back to stare at Fenglai, only to see the young man hanging his head, tears falling on Liu Yu's hands, and he kept apologizing: "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it..."

He was so frightened that he looked like a criminal who was about to be executed.

Shen Muyue was stunned, but when she saw that Liu Yu's breath had stabilized, and Fenglai was like this, she turned her head and asked the people who were surrounded by the flames: "What's going on!" One of the five people had fainted from suffocation, and the remaining four were all limp and sat on the ground.

One of them said in a trembling voice: "I... We just questioned the current behavior of the Immortal Realm Lord." He seemed to be still frightened, "But if we said a few words to the Immortal Realm Lord, aren't we guilty of death?"

Shen Muyue was silent, and turned to look at Fenglai again. Fenglai didn't say a word of defense, but just focused on Liu Yu, as if nothing else had anything to do with him. When he saw Liu Yu's closed eyes tremble twice, he breathed lightly, as if he was afraid of scaring Liu Yu. "Really?" Liu Yu opened her eyes, looked at Feng Lai, and asked with a weak breath, "Is this... the reason you killed them?"

Feng Lai was stunned, stared at her eyes for a long time, and lowered her head and said, "They also said bad things about you..." This should be a lesson for him, but when Feng Lai said this, Liu Yu suddenly seemed to have lost all the reasons to teach him a lesson.

This child got so angry because of her... Liu Yu struggled to sit up, looked around, and sighed, "That shouldn't be."

" I was wrong." Liu Yu looked at him quietly: "What else?" "I'm sorry." At this point, everyone had nothing to say.

Feng Lai was a monster created by Liu Ming, and no one had the right to punish him, not even Liu Yu. Getting an apology was already very good compared to those companions who were eaten by other monsters.

Shen Muyue asked Liu Yu softly, "Can you still walk?" Liu Yu nodded, and Shen Muyue did not delay any longer. She stood up and immediately arranged for people to clean up the scene and treat the injured.

Liu Yu looked at her back quietly and said with emotion, "If Senior Sister can be in a ruling position one day, she must be very capable and courageous." "Go back and rest." Shen Muyue said this lightly and walked away. Liu Yu smiled at her back as she walked away, and wanted to stand up, but his legs were still weak.

Feng Lai next to him squatted silently, with his back facing Liu Yu. Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and didn't hesitate to hug his neck and let him carry him on his back. "Feng Lai." Leaving the front yard and walking on the quiet path, Liu Yu spoke softly, "Why... did you attack me? Can't you control it?" Feng Lai paused: "Are you... still not feeling well?"

Liu Yu was startled, then smiled and said, "It's okay now." Feng Lai was silent for a moment: "When I heard what they said, I just felt very angry, and then I didn't know what happened." He said in a slightly muffled voice, "I seem to... become another person."

"Not another person." Liu Yu noticed his uneasiness, and the hand that was hugging his neck slid down a little, so that the palm just rested on his chest, and then patted it gently, "You are just too powerful and you can't control it."

" My power is very strong?" He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't you... like it?"

"I can't say I like or dislike powerful forces." Liu Yu pondered the words and said, "Just like a knife, I can't say I like it, but if it is used to cut vegetables, I will be happy when I see it.

If it is used to kill people, I will naturally be afraid when I see it.

Your power is the same, it can be used for killing, and it can also be used for protection. Do you understand?"

Feng Lai thought for a while: "If I protect you, do you like me?" "Well... I can say that."

---

The Phoenix Comes (Part 2)

Feng Lai looked at Liu Yu blankly: "What is marrying?"

Liu Yu smiled and patted his head gently: "This can only be understood but not expressed in words. You will understand it naturally when you should. So before you understand, you'd better go back to sleep."

Feng Lai did not move. Liu Yu looked at him for a long time, and finally sighed as if admitting defeat: "Okay, I will stay with you until you fall asleep. Come on, go back to the house." She took Feng Lai's hand and walked towards his house, but Feng Lai stopped and did not move at all. He looked at Liu Yu, and the moonlight and Liu Yu's silhouette were imprinted in his red pupils. "Then I won't sleep." If he doesn't fall asleep, Liu Yu will always be with him.

Liu Yu was startled, looking into the boy's eyes, and suddenly wondered if she had made this child too dependent on her...

Liu Yu was determined to separate them from each other. Feng Lai had been clinging to Liu Yu for a few days. Liu Yu thought about it and thought that maybe Feng Lai's world was too monotonous. Apart from her, there was nothing else. Liu Yu caught a bird for Feng Lai, and originally intended to make it a toy for him, but she didn't expect Feng Lai to be so happy after getting the bird that he stopped clinging to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was very pleased, but a few days later, the bird suddenly died. It seemed that it couldn't stand the increasingly powerful Immortal Realm beast aura on Feng Lai.
Fenglai came to Liuyu holding the dead bird: "Liuyu, what happened to it? Why doesn't it move, and doesn't it look at me?" Fenglai's eyes were so sad that Liuyu couldn't bear to look at them. She touched Fenglai's head and said, "The bird is dead."

Fenglai looked at her: "What do you mean dead?"

"It will never move again, and will never open its eyes to look at you again." Liuyu explained to him, "It means... losing it."

"Why..."

"Maybe... you are not very good at controlling your own power."

Fenglai looked blank, and didn't ask Liuyu anything else. He just buried the bird with her. Since then, Fenglai no longer raised birds, and no longer pestered Liuyu to sleep with him.

Fenglai's power was still growing. Liuming ordered Liuyu to take Fenglai to the place where monsters were tamed every day, in order to let Fenglai get familiar with other monsters and learn how to subdue them. Although Liu Yu was still worried, she still took Feng Lai there when she thought of the power of his flames. She just stayed by Feng Lai's side, fearing that a Immortal Realm beast would come and hurt Feng Lai.

However, Liu Yu didn't expect that she would be the one who got hurt in the end, and the one who was protected... was also her.

When the barrier made of blazing flames unfolded around her, Feng Lai stared at the Immortal Realm beasts outside the barrier with bloodshot eyes.

Outside the barrier, those bloodthirsty guys surrounded them. Liu Yu covered her arm that was accidentally scratched by a Immortal Realm beast and gritted her teeth, "It's my fault for being careless." She looked at the little Immortal Realm beast on the ground that had been burned to ashes by Feng Lai and sighed, "These guys have smelled the smell of blood. I'm afraid it won't end well today." There were at least dozens of Immortal Realm beasts outside, staring at her and Feng Lai covetously. As long as they found an opportunity, they would pounce on them and eat them clean.

Liu Yu frowned. Feng Lai had not grown up yet. It was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage compared to so many monsters...

She was anxious, but she saw Feng Lai turned his head and looked at her: "Don't be afraid." He said, "No matter what, I will take you out."

The firelight illuminated the overly beautiful face of the boy. Liu Yu's heart moved suddenly. She turned her head quickly, secretly cursing herself for being inexplicable. When she came to her senses and was about to discuss a strategy with Feng Lai, she saw Feng Lai stepping on the barrier and walked out of the flames alone.

Before Liu Yu shouted, he waved his hand, and a huge flame burst out from his palm, burning a charred straight line on the ground. No matter the monsters or trees in front of him, they were all burned clean by this blow. Obviously, for Feng Lai now, using such a great force is still very tiring, and his flame barrier immediately weakened a lot. Feng Lai turned his head, and before he could say the word "go", he saw a black object suddenly penetrate his flame barrier, attack Liu Yu's waist from behind, and wrap her up.

Feng Lai's pupils suddenly shrank, and he reached out to grab Liu Yu, but the black object was a few points faster than him, dragging Liu Yu out. It turned out to be a monster in the shape of a frog, and the black object was the frog's tongue! It took Liu Yu, who was dragged back, into its mouth. Feng Lai only heard a "gulp", and did not hear Liu Yu make any sound, and was swallowed into its stomach.

Feng Lai froze in place in a daze. The frog did not look at Feng Lai again, but turned around and jumped to run. "Stop!" Feng Lai's voice was hoarse, like a ghost from hell, "Stop!" He flashed, but in a flash, the frog that jumped into the air was suddenly torn in half, its stomach was broken, and its internal organs fell to the ground. Amidst the blood and water, something was struggling wrapped in flesh.

Feng Lai rushed forward, tore the flesh apart with his sharp claws, and carefully pulled Liu Yu out. "Liu Yu..." His voice was trembling, and there were twinkling lights in his red eyes. "Cough!" Liu Yu lay on the ground, coughing heartbreakingly. "Liu Yu..."

He was so helpless that he seemed to be about to cry, "You..." He wanted to grab Liu Yu's hand, but he was afraid that he would hurt her if he grabbed her too tightly. He had gradually understood that Liu Yu was different from him.

He felt no pain when he was injured, and his wounds healed quickly, but Liu Yu was different. Compared with him, Liu Yu was even a bit like a porcelain, too easy to break. "Are you going to die soon..." Liu Yu's body was full of liquid from the monster frog's stomach.

The liquid was poisonous and made it difficult for her to breathe. She twisted a heart-protecting spell to protect her heart pulse, turned her head and was stunned. Feng Lai looked at her in panic and helplessness, just like when he came to her with the dead body of the bird that day, with a deep sense of helplessness in his eyes. Liu Yu was so easily distressed. "I won't die." She tried to calm her breath. "I won't die.

I've eaten the elixir, and I'm immortal." She raised her hand with all her strength and touched Fenglai's cheek. "So, don't show that expression. I'm fine..." The muscles on Fenglai's face trembled uncontrollably.

The frog fragments on the ground were trembling as if they were about to recover. Fenglai's eyes turned cold, and a cluster of flames appeared out of nowhere and burned the meat into ashes.

He picked up Liuyu horizontally, turned around, and stared at the monsters behind him. The evil spirit overflowed from his body. The monsters were all shocked and retreated to the side. Fenglai then lowered his head and looked at her: "I'll take you back."

The words actually became gentle at this moment. Liu Yu, who was held in Feng Lai's arms, realized that this child had grown up without her noticing...

At that time, it was only two months since Feng Lai was created. After another half a month, Feng Lai's appearance was no different from that of an ordinary young man. Standing with Liu Yu, they looked like a couple.

The gossip between Liu Yu and Feng Lai gradually spread in the sect. Liu Yu did not not hear it, but she did not want to pay attention to it, or...

It was undeniable that she seemed to have some strange thoughts about Feng Lai, and it was out of her control. At the same time, the opposition forces in the court were getting stronger and stronger, and Liu Ming ignored them completely.

A few days later, the monsters escaped from the place where they were tamed and killed hundreds of people. The elders in the court were furious. All officials and Liu Ming's disciples wrote to Liu Ming together, asking him to destroy the monsters. Liu Ming ignored them.

Shen Muyue directly severed the master-disciple relationship with Liu Ming and discussed with the opponents to destroy the monsters.

Liu Yu was also shaken at this time, and finally found a day to go and have a good talk with her master and persuade him. However, she couldn't find Liu Ming no matter where she went, so she had to give up.

On that day, Feng Lai also disappeared, and it was not until the next day that Feng Lai came back from outside covered in blood.
Liu Yu looked at the blood on his clothes in astonishment: "What... happened?"

"Liu Ming asked me to command the monsters to kill all the opponents." Liu Yu suddenly felt weak all over, her knees softened, and she fell on the chair. Feng Lai hurried forward to support her, squatted on the ground, looked at her anxiously, "I didn't listen to him, Liu Yu, don't panic, I've always remembered what you said, I didn't kill anyone."

Liu Yu's eyes finally saw Feng Lai's eyebrows: "This blood..."

"It's mine." He said it so easily, "Liu Ming was very angry and cut me with a knife, but it doesn't matter, the wound has healed, and I don't feel any pain."

Liu Yu grabbed Feng Lai's sleeve, looked at him covered in blood, thinking about how many times he had been stabbed, the pain in his heart drilled into his bones: "Why didn't you hide, you..."

"Because he is your master, you can't listen to him in other things. But if you just hit a few times to vent your anger, it doesn't matter."

"It does matter!" Liu Yu bent down and wiped the blood off his face with her sleeve. The more she wiped, the more her hands shook. "You have to get out of the way next time. No matter who hurts you, you have to get out of the way. If you can't get out of the way, try your best to protect yourself. OK?"

Seeing the pain in Liu Yu's eyes, Feng Lai looked at her with cold eyes: "Will Liu Yu feel bad if I get hurt?"

"Yes." She stared into his eyes and said seriously, "Yes."

At such a close distance, with such clear eyes, Feng Lai could hear his own heart beating uncontrollably. He didn't know what was going on. He suddenly moved forward and gently touched Liu Yu's lips with his lips, then he blushed first: "I won't make Liu Yu feel bad anymore."

Before he finished speaking, he turned and walked out, leaving Liu Yu alone sitting in the room, covering her lips, dazed.

In the evening, there was a knock on the door. Fenglai walked into the room and saw Liuyu sitting in the same position as in the morning. He was slightly startled: "Liuyu, you haven't left the room all day and haven't eaten anything." He put the tray in his hand on the table. Liuyu seemed to be awakened by the sound and turned to look at him blankly.

Fenglai had changed into clean clothes and stood aside. He handed her the chopsticks. Liuyu took the chopsticks and looked at the food but didn't eat it. As if she had been thinking for a long time, she looked at Fenglai: "Are you, are you..."

A word lingered on her lips, but she couldn't say it. Fenglai squatted down and looked up at Liuyu's eyes: "I like you." He said, "I have heard a lot of words these days. I understand what it means to marry you and what it means to like someone.

Liuyu, I like you, only you. What about you?" "Me?" Liuyu didn't know how to answer the sudden confession of love from the child she raised, and the question was thrown back to her in an instant. "I..."

Her hesitation made Fenglai doubt himself, and a look of loss slowly appeared in her eyes. Liuyu felt a pain in her heart, and she stopped sitting on the stool and let Fenglai look up. She squatted with him, holding Fenglai's hand and letting him touch her heart.

Feeling her extremely fast heartbeat, she said: "If, if you can't stand that person having a little bit of grievance and sadness is love, then I should be the same as you..." Fenglai's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at her, and the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't be suppressed. "I like you!"

He suddenly pounced forward and hugged Liuyu in his arms, "I like you!" He kissed Liuyu's lips, but just gently, without any other movements. Finally, he suddenly asked, "Liu Yu, I will marry you. Can I sleep with you again?" Liu Yu's heart beat like a drum: "Yes...Yes."

The next day, Liu Yu became Feng Lai's wife, but no one held a wedding for them, and no one came to celebrate and bless them. The two did not even wear the formal dresses that the newlyweds should wear. In a place where only the two of them knew, they became husband and wife.

In the third month after Feng Lai was created, there was a voice of opposition in the court. Liu Ming found Feng Lai again, but Feng Lai still did not listen to him. Liu Ming was furious and drew his sword to kill Feng Lai. However, Feng Lai did not take the beating this time. Liu Ming had no choice but to leave.

Soon, Fu Sheng was created to replace Feng Lai. Fu Sheng was indeed much easier to control than Feng Lai, but his power was not as strong as Feng Lai. If he was asked to control the monster, he was afraid that he still lacked the strength. Liu Ming tried every means to research a drug that would make Feng Lai a puppet. At this time, someone in the court informed the heaven of the monster rebellion.

The heavenly soldiers and generals came down to the mortal world, but they were no match for the thousands of monsters. However, soon, the Heavenly Lord asked the God of Action to come down to the mortal world. Liu Ming was anxious and put the unfinished medicine in Feng Lai's drinking water.

Feng Lai fell into a coma after taking the medicine. With his own strength, the God of Action stopped thousands of monsters, captured Feng Lai, killed Liu Ming, and opened up the Xutian Abyss... The voice drifted farther and farther in the darkness.

Shen Li opened her eyes and saw the moonlight coming in from the window. She was confused for a moment, not knowing where she was. "What's wrong?" Xingzhi, who was beside her, gently placed his hand on her waist, and asked with a hoarse voice after waking up, "Did you have a nightmare?" Shen Li shook her head: "I dreamed of them..." "Who?" "A lot of people." Shen Li said, "It was a long dream."

She said softly, as if she saw Liu Yu alone, with a growing belly, in the war, trekking through thousands of mountains and rivers, walking to the front of Xutianyuan, guarding the gate of Xutianyuan, looking forward to meeting Fenglai inside, but in the end she died outside the gate separated from Fenglai, and her bones were buried in the yellow sand. Shen Li closed her eyes and suddenly remembered the moment when Fenglai opened his eyes in Xutianyuan that day, that extremely hot sigh, hiding a thousand years of longing.

For him, these thousand years were just a big dream, and after waking up from the dream, he lost his most precious thing.

So... in the end, he stepped into Xutianyuan without hesitation. Maybe it was to save her daughter who had never met her, or maybe it was just to follow Liu Yu's footsteps...

But no matter what it was, no one could verify it. Everything was buried in the disappeared Xutianyuan... "Xingzhi."

She turned sideways, put her head close to Xingzhi, and also reached out to hug his waist, "Tomorrow, let's go to the Immortal Realm Realm to have a look." "Huh?" "I want to go and see where they left."

---

Wedding

It was noon, Xingzhi was cooking in the kitchen, and Shen Li was playing a fancy game in the yard. When Xingzhi brought the food to the table, Shen Li put away her gun immediately without him calling, and ran to the table to sit down. When she saw the meat, she poked it with her chopsticks.

Xingzhi held the bowl of rice, looked at Shen Li across the table, and suddenly said, "Shen Li, do you think we are a little uncoordinated?"

Shen Li swallowed the food in her mouth, blinked and looked at him, "No, yin and yang are in harmony, very harmonious."

"No," Xingzhi said solemnly, "How can you look feminine?"

Shen Li put down the bowl and chopsticks, also serious, "I mean, you are yin and I am yang. Yin and yang are in harmony, very coordinated."

Xingzhi finally couldn't pretend anymore, and smiled, "This is not bad."

The two were chatting happily, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the yard. Shen Li looked at Xingzhi, "The people from the heaven are looking for you again?" Xingzhi didn't say anything. Suddenly, a girl's crisp shout came from outside the door, "Is this the home of Lord BiCang and Lord Xingzhi? I am the servant of Lady Jin from the Extreme North Snow Mountain."

"Lady Jin?" Shen Li was slightly stunned. They have been in the human world for twenty years. In the past twenty years, they have had almost no contact with Lady Jin. Some news about her was heard from others.

It is said that after Lady Jin parted with them, she followed her evil spirit to the human world. No one knows whether the evil spirit found it or not, but she found a man she liked. But this man is a cultivator. Influenced by the perverse theories of the immortal sects in the human world, his mind is a little dull.

He is very obsessed with the different paths of humans and Immortal Realms, and he refuses to accept Lady Jin. Lady Jin is also a very persistent person. She stayed with the man for twenty years, and everyone in the immortal sects in the human world knew about it. Shen Li heard it when chatting with the earth immortals in the suburbs.

Jin Niangzi's courtship has been unsuccessful so far, why did she suddenly send someone here?

Could it be that she wants her and Xingzhi to help her? Shen Li was puzzled, put down the bowl and went to open the door. Standing at the door was a little girl in her teens.

She looked up at Shen Li and bowed, "Hello, Your Majesty, I'm here to hand over the invitation for my master."

"Invitation," Shen Li was confused, "She is also holding a birthday party?" She can even count her own age... Shen Li took the red invitation from the little girl, opened it and was stunned, "She, she is getting married?" "Yes." "With the Taoist priest in the legend?" Shen Li looked at the invitation again and again, "Next month?"

"Yes." Shen Li was silent. These two have made such great progress, but those bored earth immortals have not talked about it. It can only mean that this matter is really sudden and the news has not spread yet.

The girl bowed to Shen Li again and said, "The master has specifically instructed me to tell the prince and the god to remember to bring the stars from the sky. She has been owed for decades." After that, the girl respectfully took her leave.

Shen Rui closed the door, took the invitation into the room and put it on the table, "The sky has collapsed, where can we find a star for her?"

Xingzhi ate calmly, "Just pick up a stone." "That's not good... After all, it's Lady Jin's wedding, and it only happens once in tens of thousands of years." "Shen Li, do you know what the stars of the sky look like in your hand?" Shen Li shook her head, and Xingzhi smiled, "That's it.

Give her a stone and tell her that this is the star of the sky. Anyway, there are no stars for her to compare with now, she will be very happy to receive it." Shen Li held her forehead, "The question is not whether she is happy or not, but don't you feel guilty about doing this?"

Facing Xingzhi's calm eyes, Shen Li paused for a while, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask." She looked through the invitation again, "When are we leaving? Can your body withstand the cold and freezing of the snowy mountains now?"

"It's a god's body after all." Xingzhi smiled at Shen Li, "You should know how healthy I am." Shen Rui's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she coughed lightly, "No matter how good it is, it's not as fast as before. Let's set off early. I haven't seen Jin Niangzi for so many years, I miss her so much."

However, getting married? Shen Li stared at the invitation and frowned. She really couldn't connect the Jin Niangzi in her memory with these two words. Shen Li felt that Jin Niangzi should be a woman who was always free and unrestrained from the world. How could she be connected with such a mundane thing?

As always, the cold wind with magic power was blowing on the snow-capped mountains. Xingzhi didn't care about face and added clothes all the way. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, Xingzhi was wrapped in at least four or five coats inside and out, and a large fox fur coat on the outside. From a distance, he looked like a snowball. Shen Li was only wearing a single piece of clothing.

She looked at the endless mountain road ahead, and then looked back at Xingzhi, whose lips were slightly blue from the cold. She felt a little distressed and couldn't help but blame him, "Didn't you say you were in good health?" Xingzhi sighed helplessly, "I thought you would understand if I put on a few more clothes."

He looked at Shen Li with a rather resentful look, untied the fox fur, opened the jacket, and hugged Shen Li in his arms, "I'm cold, don't you know how to take the initiative to show your courtesy?" He wrapped Shen Li in his loose jacket, and did not forget to complain softly, "You don't understand romance."

The temperature of Shen Li's body quickly warmed up the clothes. Even though they had been together for a long time, Shen Li's face was still flushed, "It's not easy to walk like this." She struggled slightly. Before Xingzhi could speak, a gust of wind suddenly passed in front of them, and Jin Niangzi in a wedding dress suddenly appeared in front of them. Seeing Shen Li and Xingzhi in this position, she pretended to be shy and covered her face, "Oh, I haven't seen you for many years.

My sister is so jealous when she comes." Shen Li gently pushed Xingzhi, and Xingzhi had to let her go helplessly, saying sadly, "It's not warm inside the coat." Seeing this person acting coquettishly with a calm face, Shen Li's mouth twitched. Jin Niangzi covered her lips and smiled, "It's all my fault. I made the God suffer from the cold. But who told me to be anxious? I have missed my sister so much for so many years."

As she said that, she walked down the stairs in a few steps, took Shen Li's hand and touched it again and again, "Women's hands are still comfortable to touch. I heard that my sister has been living in the human world for these years. Is she doing well?" Jin Niangzi kept talking, but Shen Li keenly noticed the weakness of her body and held her wrist with her backhand. Xingzhi 's health has always been poor.

When she was in the human world, Shen Li also learned some medical skills. This pulse check made Shen Li frown, "Why is your internal energy so weak?" Jin Niangzi kept smiling, but pushed Shen Li's hand away unnoticeably, "It's just that I've been busy recently, it's nothing serious." Without waiting for Shen Li to speak again, she said to Xingzhi, "The God King looks worse than before. Don't stay in this snowstorm for too long, I'll take you to the villa now."

Jin Niang's place was still the same as before, only opening the door to let people in to do business at specific times every day. Jin Niang used a magic circle to send Shen Li and Xingzhi to the hall where transactions were done.

The hall was magnificent and more prosperous than before. When everyone in the hall saw Jin Niangzi suddenly appear with two people, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at them. Lady Jin smiled, "Oh, I'm going to get married, but I can't let you all look at me like this, my husband will be jealous."

The atmosphere in the palace immediately became lively, and someone joked, "Lady Jin, are you really going to get married? I've been here to do business every day for the past three days, but I've never seen your husband. Does he not care about you as his wife at all?"

"Of course I hid it. How could I let you see it?" Jin Niang stared at the man who had just spoken, her eyes slightly cold, "Today, a distinguished guest is visiting. We are not doing business. Let's go."

The man was stunned. He just realized that he had said the wrong thing and wanted to apologize, but when he saw Jin Niang's expression, he felt a chill in his heart. He dropped the things in his hands and ran away in a hurry.

The people in the hall quarreled for a while and then dispersed consciously. Shen Li secretly glanced at Jin Niang and asked, "Did you rob a man?" Jin Niang looked at Shen Li helplessly. Then she sang a long sigh, "It was just coercion and inducement.

He and his sect were injured. I promised to save them and let him marry me. This can't be considered robbing, and... I think he should like me too." Shen Li had heard from the earthly immortals that the man had been pursued by Jin Niang for more than 20 years and had never given in. He must be a very stubborn person who cares about dignity. Now that she is being coerced by Jin Niangzi, she must dislike Jin Niangzi in her heart.

How correct is Jin Niangzi's "feeling"... Shen Li was about to give her some advice when she heard Xingzhi say, "That's how it should be." He looked serious, "That man must like you, otherwise he would never agree to marry you.

No matter what, you should make it a done deal with him first, so as to avoid any trouble." Xingzhi's words hit the mark of Jin Niangzi, and she immediately smiled and picked a fox fur coat from the stall next to her and handed it to Xingzhi, "Your Majesty is right, take this fox fur coat made of a thousand-year-old snow fox, it's more useful than your coats."

Xingzhi took it without hesitation, and Jin Niangzi smiled and said, "I have arranged a room for you, you go first, and I will go find my sister after I have cleaned up here, and tell her the whole story."

After leaving the magnificent hall, Shen Li frowned slightly and looked at Xingzhi, "How do you know that man likes Jin Niangzi?" "I don't know." Xingzhi said, "But it's better to let her bother that man than to let her bother you."

Xingzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You are mine." Shen Li commented, "Selfish, shameless." After instructing the servants to put away the things in the room, Jin Niangzi just left the hall and saw a maid hurriedly coming, "Madam, Mr. Mu is coughing again." Jin Niangzi's heart tightened, and she hurriedly followed the maid.

Stepping into the Hongmei Courtyard, Jin Niangzi kept rushing into the inner room, and saw Mu Zichun lying on the bedside, coughing up blood. Jin Niang said nothing, stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, and sent magic power into Mu Zichun's body as if it was free, until he stopped coughing and lay down safely, she felt relieved.

With trembling fingertips, she wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and Jin Niangzi closed her eyes and quietly adjusted her internal breath. "Are you feeling unwell?" Jin Niang opened her eyes, with the same smile on her face as always, "My husband, are you feeling sorry for me? I am so happy."

The man lying on the bed looked at her face for a moment, then turned away, "Don't be so self-indulgent." He paused and said, "You said before that you had cured the people in my sect, so you drove them down the mountain. Now, will they do the same as me?"

His words were full of doubts. Jin Niang's smile faded slightly, "Zichun, I don't bother to lie." Jin Niang has never been a person who likes to explain, but in front of Mu Zichun, she always makes an exception, "The injuries of the people in your sect may be difficult for humans, but they are not a problem for me. I will never lie to you if I say they are cured.

And you are still coughing up blood because your injuries are different from theirs." Mu Zichun said nothing. Lady Jin felt a little bitter in her heart, but her smile was bright. "That's all I have to say. If you don't believe me, I can't help it." She stood up and left. "It's not good for your health to stay in the house all the time. Today is a fine day. Come out for a walk after you've had enough rest." Mu Zichun followed her back with his eyes.

The closed door blocked his sight. Lady Jin held onto the door frame, a little unsteady. The servant beside her came forward worriedly. Lady Jin shook her head and took a long time to regain her strength before she walked away.

That night, the white snow in the courtyard reflected the red plum blossoms. Mu Zichun walked into the courtyard wearing a snow-white fox fur coat. The stars in the sky were so bright that they seemed to have been brushed. This was a night sky rarely seen in the human world. Mu Zichun couldn't help but be fascinated by the scene, when he suddenly heard a whisper from outside the courtyard, "There are guests coming today, and my wife went out to meet them personally."

"It's rare for our wife to pay so much attention to him." "I was lucky enough to see him from a distance. The man was so handsome, a hundred times more beautiful than the man in the courtyard. His temperament, wow, I heard that our wife has a deep friendship with him..."

" Really? This man seems to have made my wife unhappy again today. You said that my wife's patience has been worn out after so many days. Now there is another one... Do you think this wedding can be held?" "How can you and I guess what my wife thinks?"

The voice gradually faded away, and the red plum branch passed through the courtyard wall and reached to the other side. Mu Zichun stood under the plum tree, reached out and broke off a red plum branch, took it in his hand to look at it, then threw it on the snow, stepped on it, and turned back to the house.

At the same time, in the room of Shen Li and Xingzhi, Jin Niang drank a sip of wine and sighed, "After I dealt with that evil spirit, I turned back to my original form and was saved by him. It was that glimpse! It was that damn glimpse that made me spend twenty years on him!"

Shen Li ate silently, while Xingzhi listened with relish while drinking tea. This was supposed to be a welcoming banquet, but it turned into a complaint meeting for Jin Niang from some unknown sentence. While drinking wine, she explained her past with Mu Zichun, and now she started to complain again.

"Twenty years, the stone should be warmed up, this mortal is really a thousand-year-old ice, even if I have Samadhi True Fire, I can't melt him."

She leaned against Shen Li, hugged her arm and said aggrievedly: "You say I have lived for so many years, it's not easy to find someone I like?

But it's so troublesome, I feel so bitter!" "She rubbed Shen Li's shoulder, looking like a coquettish person. Shen Li put down her chopsticks and asked, "Does he have someone he likes?" Thinking of her rather sad relationship with Xingzhi, Shen Li felt a little emotional, "Maybe there is some reason why he can't be with you."

"Do you think everyone is as burdened with heavy responsibilities as the God before and can't be emotional?" Xingzhi nodded as if he was praised, "Yes, not everyone is as patient as me."

Shen Li curled her lips. Xingzhi has become more and more shameless in recent years... Jin Niang sighed, "Mu Zichun is just a lump of wood! His head was stiffened by the sayings of those immortal sects in the human world.

He had to believe that those who were not of my race must have different hearts. He always felt that I had some ulterior motives for approaching him. Even when I forced him to get married a few days ago, he asked me seriously...

"Mrs. Jin imitated Mu Zichun's frowning and serious look and said, "What do you want?"

Mrs. Jin slapped the table and shouted, "Didn't you see the rare treasures in my hall? How dare a mortal ask me what I want! But I wasn't angry at the time."

Mrs. Jin imitated her original appearance, softened her expression, and smiled lightly, "I answered, 'I want you. '

What a sweet sentence, right?" She paused, her expression changed again, and she imitated Mu Zichun's serious look and said, "'Not serious! Nonsense!

' Listen, listen, that's what he said to me! After that, he turned around and left! " Shen Li was amused by her changing expressions. Lady Jin said aggrievedly: "Do you know how sad I was at that time!"

"Well, why don't you understand his dull and boring behavior as a manifestation of shyness?"

Xingzhi suddenly said, "I have dealt with immortals quite a lot. Most of those who have achieved immortality in mortal bodies are taciturn and extremely repressive of their emotions. He may think that you are teasing him, but he can't tease him back, so he has to run away in a hurry."

Jin Niang opened her eyes wide and looked at Xingzhi. Shen Li was also frightened by Xingzhi's analysis and asked, "In your opinion, what is the mentality of that mortal?"
Xingzhi turned the teacup in his hand and smiled, "Neither he has a loved one, nor does he really hate you. What he can't let go of is just a kind of stubbornness. So, let's try him and see what kind of mentality this mortal has towards you, Jin Niangzi. "

Jin Niangzi looked at Xingzhi with hope, "How to try?"

Xingzhi smiled, "You have been by his side for twenty years, and he is indifferent. It may be because he is used to accepting it.

So, what if you take back everything you gave him?"

Xingzhi poured all the remaining tea in the cup on the ground, "Let him have nothing. Come, think about what you gave him, and we will take it back one by one."
Seeing the smile in his eyes, Shen Li's mouth twitched slightly. Is this man helping Jin Niangzi, or... is he having fun?

This bad water...

Jin Niangzi pondered for a long time, and finally said: "I don't think I have given him anything." She looked blank, "But I seem to have given him everything I have."

This not only stunned Shen Li, but also Xingzhi. Xingzhi knew better than anyone what kind of person Jin Niangzi was.

To make her say such words unconsciously, I think she was deeply in love. Xingzhi calmed down and said with a smile: "Then take yourself back. Well, during this time, you should fall in love with someone else first."

Jin Niangzi asked: "Who?"

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Xingzhi sighed slightly, "There is no other way, so I have to..."

"I'll do it." Shen Li suddenly interrupted Xingzhi. She glanced at Xingzhi, "What are you looking at, you are mine." After that, she pinched a seal and turned into a handsome man. She grabbed Jin Niangzi's hand and said: "Madam, you will love me these days."

Jin Niangzi turned her head to look at Xingzhi with a subtle expression, covered her lips and smiled: "Haven't I fallen in love with the prince a long time ago?"

Xingzhi sighed, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to let Shen Li toss.

Shen Li discussed some details with Jin Niangzi again. As the dusk deepened, Lady Jin sobered up a little. She seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped the table and stood up, "What time is it now? I haven't seen Mu Zichun tonight yet!"

Shen Li and Xingzhi looked at each other, and Shen Li asked in confusion, "Do you go to see him every night?"

"He is injured."

Xingzhi said lightly, "Will he die?"

"That won't happen..."

"Then don't go." Xingzhi smiled, "Have you forgotten what we said just now? We must take everything back and leave him with nothing. Let's start tonight."

Lady Jin didn't leave the room until late at night. Xingzhi sighed, "This drama of helping others teach their husband a lesson has involved his wife. It's really not worth it."
Shen Li raised her eyebrows, "It's obvious that you are teasing others!" She paused, "How can I just watch you play?" "

What should I do?" Xingzhi stood up and hugged Shen Li, who was tidying the sheets by the bed, from behind, "Our upright Lord Bicang has become bad."

"He has become bad since the day he met you." Shen Li let him hug her for a while, and suddenly asked, "But, does your method really work?" "Of course it works
." Xingzhi said softly, "I feel the taste of loss more deeply than anyone else."

The snow scene in the garden was just right. Mu Zichun stood in the garden, and the fragrance of red plums made him slightly absent-minded.

Last night... It was a rare peaceful day. Since being brought here by Jin Niangzi, she has never stopped pestering him. Suddenly, he had a day of leisure, and he felt that the silence around him was so quiet that he was not used to it, and his heart was also empty. Thinking about the guest that Jin Niang personally went to pick up yesterday, he couldn't help but droop his eyes.

Is he her old friend? What's his connection with her? What kind of person is he...

"Madam, the red plum blossoms in this courtyard are really pleasing to the eye." A man's clear voice came from the other end of the garden, "It's a pity that I didn't see this scene last time I came."

"This is a fantasy land created by a magic weapon. The four seasons rotate, and all the most beautiful scenery in the world is taken. The last time you came, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer. This time you saw the midwinter scenery. There are many seasons that you haven't seen." Jin Niang's voice was gentle, and she laughed softly, "If A Li likes it, can you stay here for a long time?"

Mu Zichun looked steadily at the path where the voice came from. Two figures slowly walked over, carrying the leisure of strolling in the clear snow forest. Jin Niang and the man were very close, and their expressions were intimate.

"Oh, Zichun." Jin Niangzi saw him, her tone and expression were the same as usual, but she did not rush to grab him as before, but stood beside the man and introduced him: "Ali, this is the husband who will marry me, Mu Zichun."

The man raised his eyebrows and looked him up and down with inquiring eyes. Mu Zichun frowned, somewhat resisting such a gaze. He was wondering what the relationship between this man and Jin Niangzi was. Suddenly, the man named Ali smiled bitterly, held Jin Niangzi's hand, and said: "Jin Niangzi, Jin Niangzi, do you blame me for leaving you cruelly back then? After many years, we met again... but I learned that you are about to get married... Oh, do you know how painful my heart is?"

What...

what?

Hearing the other party suddenly utter such a straightforward sentence, not only Mu Zichun was stunned, but also Jin Niangzi was stunned.

She looked at Shen Li for a long time, until Shen Li poked her with his finger from behind, she suddenly came back to her senses, "Oh..." Jin Niangzi has lived for so many years, and immediately took over the conversation, with spring in her eyes and a shy smile, "What are you talking about, A Li? And in front of Zichun."

Shen Li turned her eyes to the side, and her eyes met with Mu Zichun. Shen Li was very satisfied with the coldness in the man's eyes. If she was still a little uncertain before, she was completely at ease at this time and focused on playing this play.

She withdrew her eyes and didn't look at Mu Zichun again. She said to Jin Niangzi as if he didn't exist: "If you two really have a heart-to-heart relationship, it's fine, but I've heard people say before that this person's heart is not with you, why do you force it?"

Jin Niangzi was silent, she was waiting for Mu Zichun to refute. But as expected, there was no sound from that side. Jin Niangzi lowered her head and smiled, knowing that this would be the case, but she... still couldn't help being disappointed.

"Whether she forced it or not is none of your business?" Mu Zichun suddenly said, "Your Excellency has overstepped your words."

Jin Niang's eyes lit up, and Shen Li forced a smile down her face, "Oh?" She glanced at Mu Zichun's clenched fist, "So, the rumors are not credible? Do you actually care about Jin Niang?"

Mu Zichun said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Of course it does." Shen Li put his arm around Jin Niang's shoulders, raised his eyebrows and smiled, wantonly and wildly, "How can the woman I love suffer the slightest grievance?"

The two people present were stunned again, and then Jin Niang's eyes lit up, and there was some amazement in the look in her eyes as she looked at Shen Li: Lord BiCang is so courageous!

"If you are not sincere to her, then forgive Shen Li for offending me, I will snatch her away from you even if I have to."

Mu Zichun's face became colder. He glanced at Jin Niangzi, but saw that Jin Niangzi was looking at Shen Li intently. The light in her eyes seemed to say "Okay, okay, I'll go with you." Mu Zichun suddenly felt that such a look was too depressing. He clenched his fists tighter, and after a while, he sneered, "What did you do earlier?" Shen Li was thinking about how to answer, but saw Mu Zichun turned around and left, "Whatever you want, it's up to you. Anyway, I'm just a prisoner now."

Shen Li raised his eyebrows and followed Mu Zichun's back. Seeing his back disappearing around a corner, Jin Niang sighed, "Ali, forget it, this makes me too embarrassed..."
"I think it's quite effective." Shen Li smiled, "Madam, why don't we make a bet?"

"What's the bet?"

"Before you get married, this Mu Zichun must surrender, do you believe it or not?"

Jin Niang was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed, "I have waited for twenty years and have not seen him surrender... But I hope that I can lose this bet miserably."
"This bet will definitely go as you wish."

The red plum branch next to it suddenly tilted, shaking off a cluster of new snow, and the red plum on the branch turned its brilliance, and instantly turned into Xingzhi.

He wrapped in the fox fur that Jin Niang gave him yesterday and exhaled a breath of white air in the air, saying: "If you lose, what do you have to give my Shen Li as a bet?"

Shen Li looked at him, "Why did you turn into a plum blossom here?"

"How else can I see a good show?" Xingzhi replied with a smile, and turned his gaze to Jin Niang.

Lady Jin smiled, "The Lord God is still the same as before, he won't take any loss." She paused and said, "The Lord God has seen all kinds of rare treasures, so they must be rare.

But I happen to have an ancient relic in my hand, which can help injured gods regulate their qi and maintain health when worn. The Lord God may not have appreciated this thing in the past, but now it is a great treasure to him.

If he wears this thing every day, it is not impossible for the Lord God to recover his former power one day."
Shen Li said happily, "Really? Lady Jin, why didn't you tell me earlier? Me!"

Lady Jin smiled and covered her lips, "Of course I am not guarding against my sister, but against the Lord of the Day, right?" Xingzhi

also smiled faintly, "With such a treasure, I will do my best. In order to decide the outcome of this game as soon as possible, tomorrow, I will also intervene."

Looking at the people around him, Shen Li sighed, "You have been fooled again, and you have taken advantage of me. Lady Jin has suffered a great loss."

The slender hands picked up the white jade teacup and took a sip. The young girl was dressed in white, with her index finger slightly curled, gently hooking the hair that was blown by the wind behind her ears. She smiled faintly, "I think Jin Niang is happy to let us take advantage of this. After all, she is the one who benefits in the end."

Shen Li's eyes wandered over Xingzhi's face for a long time and said, "Today, you are yin and I am yang, which is in line with the laughter of the past."

Xingzhi cooperated very well, leaning on Shen Li, still in that light tone, "Can Ah Li adapt?"

Shen Li squinted and smiled, "Adapt."

"Does Ah Li like it?"

Shen Li lowered her head and gently kissed Xingzhi's lips, "Like." Xingzhi

hugged her back without hesitation, and the two of them lingered and cuddled as usual in the courtyard. Suddenly, murderous aura came towards them, and Shen Li didn't frown at all, but waved her hand to block it, and a barrier built by magic power blocked the fierce sword.

She exerted a little force, and there was a loud noise, and the attacker was bounced several feet away, staggering a few steps outside the pavilion before standing still.

Shen Li let go of Xingzhi, stood up, and the two looked at the man outside the pavilion together. Mu Zichun's face turned ashen, his face like a Shura, "Are you so good to Lady Jin?"

Shen Li looked at Xingzhi behind her, and Xingzhi also looked at her. Suddenly, he hugged her arms, acted like a little bird, and cried, "Ali, who is this man and why is he so vicious?" Shen Li's whole body was numb, and the corners of her mouth twitched a little. She whispered, "Don't act anymore, I can't help it..."
Xingzhi also whispered, "I believe you."

Don't trust me so much...

Seeing that the two were still whispering intimately in front of him, Mu Zichun said sternly, "Such a philandering pe

rson actually said that he would not let her suffer any grievances. Do you know that what you did today is the greatest grievance to her?" "Then let her suffer first."
Mu Zichun clenched his teeth, "You are lying to her."

Shen Li raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "What does it have to do with you?"

Mu Zichun choked in his throat. Shen Li said frankly: "So what if I am unfaithful? So what if I cheated on Lady Jin? What does it have to do with you? I only want Lady Jin's fortune, and I only want to cheat her into giving it to me, and then divorce her after getting the treasures..."

"And I also use her treasures to support a concubine." Xingzhi added.

Shen Li echoed: "Yes, and I also use her money to support a concubine. What does this have to do with you? Don't you dislike Lady Jin? It just so happens that when Lady Jin and I get married, I will definitely let you go. Isn't that what you want? Why are you so angry?"

"Asshole." Mu Zichun gritted his teeth in hatred, and when he was about to draw his sword to attack, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure. Lady Jin was standing on another path, staring at him blankly. Mu Zichun panicked for no reason, and shouted to Lady Jin in a timid manner: "Don't think about such a person anymore!"
"Then who should I think about?" Lady Jin's voice was unexpectedly calm, "Thinking about you?"

Mu Zichun was stunned.

Jin Niangzi looked at Shen Li, "Even if you have some intentions towards me, at least you can give me a chance, which is better than someone who has no intentions and gives me nothing." Mu Zichun's eyes froze into ice bit by bit, "Do you know what you are doing now?"

Chi Ying. Hand-typed, please indicate the source when reprinting

"What to do?" Jin Niangzi smiled and said, "Choosing an impossible person, isn't this what I have done to you? Why, is this only allowed for me to do it to you, and not for others?" Mu Zichun's face turned pale.

"Since you were so unwilling before, and your injury is almost healed now, just go. I have been pestering you for so many years and I am tired of it. Now I finally found another way out... I will let you go, and you can go back to your immortal gate. You don't have to be tormented by a witch like me anymore."

After saying that, she walked towards Shen Li. Shen Li understood and stretched out her hand to stop her, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you are so deeply in love with me." Madam Jin did not respond to Shen Li's words, but just glanced at Mu Zichun out of the corner of her eye. She saw anger and pain in his eyes, but she did not stop him.

The three of them left Mu Zichun's sight. Lady Jin smiled bitterly, "Look, I've said this much, but he's still like this, which shows that I won the bet. Lord Xingzhi, you can't win your things away."

"That's hard to say." Xingzhi said, "Later, ask the waiter to pack up his things and send him down the mountain. Tell him that you are going to marry Shen Li and won't keep him as an outsider. Let's see if he agrees."

Shen Li hurriedly said, "That won't work. Lady Jin has finally tied Mu Zichun to her side. Letting him go is something you can say, but you absolutely can't do it. Otherwise, Lady Jin's efforts will fail..."

Xingzhi just looked at Jin Niangzi, "What do you say?"

Jin Niangzi was silent for a moment, "If he wants to leave, I'll let him go. I'm really tired. I forced him to get married. I wanted to snatch him to my side, but your test made me uncertain. If I have to spend tens of millions of years with someone who doesn't care about me, then I'd better... live alone like before."

Shen Li was stunned.

"I'll let the waiter pack his things and send him down the mountain." Jin Niangzi smiled, but her eyes were full of despair.

Shen Li opened his mouth, unable to speak.

"Alas!" Shen Li came back to her senses after Lady Jin left, and said with regret: "I think they both have feelings for each other, but that immortal cultivator is too pedantic and dull... are we really going to let them miss each other like this?"

"Your Highness, do you think I will really let things go this way?"

Shen Li's eyes lit up, "What do you think?" Xingzhi smiled calmly, "You just need to knock Lady Jin unconscious later."

"Why?"

"Of course it's because I can't do it now. Besides, Lady Jin is not wary of you."

Lady Jin asked the servants to pack up Mu Zichun's things, and then ordered them to send Mu Zichun down the mountain. She did not go to see him off, but just sat in her room. The servant came to report that Lord BiCang wanted to see her, and Lady Jin did not suspect anything, but when they met, Shen Li chopped her with a knife. Lady Jin felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and then she fainted.

Xingzhi was behind Shen Li at the time. He turned his head and said to the dumbfounded servant beside him in a very calm manner: "Lord BiCang killed your master. From now on, the extreme northern snow region will be in Lord BiCang's pocket, and you are all her subordinates."

The servants were stunned, and Shen Li was also stunned.

The servants fled out of the house crying and screaming. Shen Li grabbed Xingzhi and asked: "What do you want to do by saying this?" Xingzhi smiled soothingly, and heard the deafening bell sound from outside, resounding through the snow region.

"Hurry up and grab Jin Niang's neck. If someone comes to snatch her later, you can just fight him a few moves and let him snatch Jin Niang away, and then we will wait to take the good things back."

Shen Li did what Xingzhi said suspiciously, and as Xingzhi said, in a moment, Mu Zichun came quickly. Seeing Shen Li holding Jin Niangzi's neck with one hand, he attacked like crazy, forcing Shen Li to block two moves seriously before he could avoid being hurt. A mortal cultivator can do this, probably desperately...

Let Mu Zichun carry Jin Niangzi away, Shen Li listened to the deep bell outside, "Have you thought about... how we should deal with it?" "
Come after?" Xingzhi yawned, "Is that our business?"

Jin Niangzi and Mu Zichun's wedding was held as scheduled. Xingzhi gave Jin Niangzi a stone picked up from nowhere, calling it the remaining star fragments of the sky, and Jin Niang gave Xingzhi a jade pendant in return. Jin Niangzi's wedding was grand, and Shen Li was happy to see the sweet smile on Jin Niangzi's face.

On the way back, Xingzhi was silent for a long time, and then asked carefully: "Do you want a wedding?"

"Huh?" Shen Li was stunned.

"I used to think that weddings were just a formality and unnecessary. But after watching the ceremonies over the past few days, I suddenly feel that it might be a good idea to announce the identity of my partner to the world."

Shen Li continued to be stunned.

Xingzhi touched her head and said, "Ali, marry me. I will give you a wedding blessed by 100,000 gods."

Shen Li thought about it and said, "Okay, but it has to be as soon as possible, otherwise your belly will get bigger and it won't look good in a dress."

"It's so rare to see Lord Xingzhi looking so dazed."

Xingzhi couldn't help but curl his lips, and his slender fingers gently touched Shen Li's belly. He bent slightly, rubbed Shen Li's ear, and sighed, "What more can I ask for..."
