Chapter 824 (1/2)

The next day, news regarding Phoenix’s arrival in Tian Dao got about.

All immortals were gathered together to discuss matters concerning Tian Dao and from time to time, they would take a peep at the Emperor who was sitting on the throne.

When the crowd dismissed, the elderly who planned to introduce the Snow Mountain G.o.ddess to the Emperor approached him and asked carefully, “Emperor, I heard that Phoenix went to see you last night?”

“Yes.” The man took a glance at the elderly. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he recalled Phoenix’s words from yesterday, “What’s the matter?”

Since the Emperor had spoken up, the elderly did not dawdle to avoid being pretentious, “Was Phoenix there to pick a fight with Your Highness? Who won the fight at last? Please don’t get me wrong, Emperor. I just thought that the Sea of Blood had just been cleared, it’s not a suitable time to have fights within Buddhism.”

The elderly added on with an explanation at the end of his speech, fearing that the Emperor would misunderstand him.

“Who told you that she was here to pick a fight with me?” The man sat with his legs crossed as he curled his lower lip while facing the elderly.

The elderly could not figure out the emotions behind his posture. However, other than picking a fight, the elderly had no idea why Phoenix would come looking for the Emperor.

Buddhism would not tolerate the Emperor for bringing demons and monsters to Mountain Tenya on a frequent basis.

It was reasonable for them to send Phoenix over to wipe them out.

So…

“If it’s not about a fight, then what was it?” The elderly asked in disbelief.

At that, the other immortals slowed down their pace in the hope of some gossip.

The man stood up and walked up to the elderly with his slender legs, “As my fiancé, she was here to strengthen our bond.”

The elderly almost choked himself to death on his own saliva. He spoke in complete shock, “Strengthening bonds? Fiancé?!” This was even scarier than meeting their doom!

The Emperor darted a look at him, “What’s wrong? Don’t you know about the news that we got together on the day of the feast?”

“Isn’t that’s just a rumor?” The elderly had not taken that matter seriously.

The Emperor curled his thin lips, appearing to be charming in an evil way, “It’s not a rumor, she is currently staying in my royal chamber.”

It was at that moment that the Great Hall went into turmoil.

The immortals who were about to leave stopped their steps and started engaging in active conversation, “What the Emperor said just now can’t be true?!”

“It seems very likely to be true, the Emperor would never joke about this sort of thing.”

“But from what I’ve heard, Phoenix was carrying her weapon when she arrived yesterday?”

“I’m not sure about that, but it doesn’t matter what Phoenix had brought, the point is that she is now staying with the Emperor!”

The man did not mind the discussion going around him, in fact, he was actually enjoying the scene. From today onward, no one would come and trouble him with anymore matchmaking. Moreover, no matter if it was Tian Dao or Buddhism, everyone would know that Phoenix now belonged to him.

Yue Lao looked at the facial expression of the Emperor as the fear on his face thickened.

He could not bear it anymore. As the man stepped out of Heaven, he chased after him.

“Emperor, Emperor, please wait for me.” It was physically draining for Yue Lao to keep up with the man.

The man stopped the cloud drift beneath him. Emotionlessly, he took a quick glance at Yue Lao and a sense of superiority was spotted in his eyes.

Yue Lao knew that some things were better left unsaid. His brain was buzzing after the Emperor looked at him that way, even his voice turned weak, “The thing that Emperor had taken from me isn’t meant to be used casually, especially, especially on Phoenix.”
