Chapter 832 (1/2)

“I need to think about it.” Phoenix pushed him away and stood up as she had her concerns.

The man did not force her. He stretched out his finger to stroke her lips and looked at her with his tempting magical eyes as his handsome face got closer toward her inch by inch, “Okay.”

She just can’t be bent no matter how much you try to twist.

Unmoved by persuasion or coercion, nothing could get through her mind at all.

However, it does not matter. A person as such would bring a lot more contentment once she becomes mine…

When Phoenix came out from the temple, she was carrying tons of mythical water in her arms.

Little Monk and the immortal were unaware of what had happened in the royal chamber. They were just surprised. Did the two of them actually finish discussing peacefully?

Aren’t they having a cold war?

Little Monk could no longer keep up with what his Lord Phoenix had in mind.

Well, as long as they were not fighting, anything is fine.

After all, the Buddha feast would be held tomorrow and the Emperor would definitely be invited over again this time.

Little Monk’s prediction came true.

During the feast on the next day, the man appeared as expected. He came in a white robe matching his black hair along with an elegant smile on his face.

Anyone who tried to get close to him was blocked away by him coldly.

Since Phoenix was still considering the matter, she decided not to sit by his side.

However, just as she entered, the Lady Buddhas and fairies’ gazes changed when they saw her.

“It’s Phoenix.”

“Shh.”

“I heard news saying that she moved into the temple some time ago. Tsk tsk, moving in just like that without any status given. As expected of Lord Phoenix, her thoughts are always different from ours.”

“So what? Even if she moved in, the Emperor was still chanting with Golden Lotus these days. The Emperor has always fancied pure women. As for those who act boldly, he’s probably just playing around with them.”

“Lower your voices, that’s Phoenix!”

“So what about Phoenix? She thinks she could do anything she wants just because her ranking of Buddhism is high?”

Golden Lotus was listening to the commotions around her but she did not stop them. She lowered her head, took a sip of tea and looked toward Phoenix after hesitating for some time, “My lord, just ignore them, don’t keep it in your heart. However, it’s better to watch yourself when you are dating the Emperor in the future.”

“What does she need to watch out for?” It was the Emperor, asking in an indifferent tone. Those who knew him well would know that he was starting to get angry at this point, “Do you all even need to discuss what others do and where others go?”

The Lady Buddhas and fairies were embarra.s.sed as they were criticized by the man they admired. They looked down at their feet, thinking whether they had offended him.

Golden Lotus looked up and explained to him gently, “Emperor, it’s just a misunderstanding. We’re just worried that Lord Phoenix is acting too…”

“I don’t mind however she acts at all.” The man smiled while looking insouciance, “Since the concerned party doesn’t mind, that means it’s none of your business already, am I right, Lady Buddha?”

Golden Lotus clenched her left palm for a moment. When she felt the pain, she then smiled and replied to him, “Of course, it’s fine as long Your Highness doesn’t mind.”

Phoenix was watching this as she realized this was the first time someone ever spoke for her, although she never cared about the gossip.

However… So this is what it feels like to have a partner.

Phoenix looked down at her palm and subsequently gazed at the man who had already returned to his seat. He was showing his good-looking side face while listening to what the immortal next to him was saying. With only an arc on his lips hinting a smile, the Lady Buddhas and fairies around him were attracted and gazed secretly at him.
