Chapter 842 (1/2)
His expression was unconcerned at all like usual, but in fact, he looked a bit worried.
The Crown Prince was exceptionally curious, “Hey, what are you looking for?”
However, the Emperor paid no attention to him and proceeded to bend down, and out of nowhere, he stepped his foot into Heavenly Lake.
“The water is…” cold, the Crown Prince had yet to finish his sentence when he saw the man bent down straight away and stretched out his hand without scrupling about his purplish-white robe being soaked as he reached out to grope the bottom of the pool.
There is still no sign of it!
Where on earth did it go?
I have clearly thrown it right here just now!
“Come down here and search for it too,” the Emperor’s voice was cold and it did not sound like there was room for discussion.
The Crown Prince gaped as he pointed to himself. If the people from Six Paths knew that he, as a Crown Prince, jumped into Heavenly Lake in broad daylight, he…
“Come down.” The man’s eyes suddenly turned extremely cold and threatening.
The Crown Prince cleared his throat and stepped in straight without hesitation.
He would not dare to offend the man.
Other than Phoenix, those who messed with the man would not end well.
Take the son of G.o.d as an example, it was said that he had not recovered up to now. He was not only removed from his t.i.tle of G.o.d but had also been demoted to the life of a mere animal.
Think about it, all the son of G.o.d did was to ask for Phoenix’s hand in marriage without being clear of the exact situation.
Hence, it was said to never provoke the Emperor in this world.
Heavenly Lake’s water was nothing like those in Netherworld – it was awfully cold. When he stuck his fingers into the water, stabbing frostbite shot through his bones.
The Crown Prince almost went mad when he saw the looks the immortals gave them when they pa.s.sed by.
Those two are the almighty Crown Prince and the heavenly Emperor, does nothing interest them anymore that they have to play in the water in such cold winter?
Not to mention that they had used a whole two hours to search for it!
“Emperor, my brother,” The Crown Prince rubbed his frozen hands together and said, “You have to tell me what you are looking for.”
The man did not bother lifting his head but hurled two words back at him, “A mirror.”
“All this for a mirror?” the Crown Prince shouted, his voice rising.
The man stopped what he was doing and turned his head back to look at him. The expression he gave him blazed with ever coldness.
The Crown Prince stammered and explained himself, “Well, what I’m trying to say is, my brother, whatever type of mirror you desire, I possess all of them, you don’t have to trouble yourself in such a way, and what’s more, once things fall into the Heavenly Lake, they are likely to fall to the Earth, and perhaps someone has already picked it up. Look, the sky’s turning dark, it’s useless for you to continue searching for it.”
To be honest, they had already covered the entire area.
With the help of their divine consciousness, they could not have missed out on the mirror if it really was in Heavenly Lake.
The man must have known this too.
The water from Heavenly Lake splashed onto his face.
The Emperor did not bend over again. Perhaps he had been in the same posture for too long, that even his back was feeling a little stiff.
Seeing that he had no intention of further searching, the Crown Prince took the lead and walked out of Heavenly Lake.
Just as he wanted to say something, he heard a hoa.r.s.e, deep voice as if it was drenched by the water. “I was the one who was dumped.”
That’s so sudden!
The Crown Prince snapped his head back and looked toward the heart of Heavenly Lake!
The man stood there in silence. The most deluxe fur white robe on Heaven and Earth was soaked throughout as water dripping down his black hair.
His fingertips, which had never been stained with a speck of dust, had been cut by something and blood was oozing out of it.
The Crown Prince had never seen the man in such a state before. He had a pair of peach blossom eyes with a vast expanse of coldness. His head was slightly bowed, his black fragile hair covered his eyes, and all he could hear was him faintly repeating that same sentence.
“I was the one who was dumped.”
The Crown Prince gawked at him, “Huh? Are you kidding me?”
