Chapter 58 The Moon Was Same as Usual (1/2)

When Shen Lian woke up, his limbs were weak, waves of fatigue washed over him.

When one was focused on one's task, one's concentration would temporarily overwrite any physical limitation.

Upon the completion of the task, the physical reaction such as fatigue would set in immediately.

Naturally, Shen Lian fainted from the overexertion. 'It has been a long time since I last felt such exhaustion,' Mister Su smiled and thought to himself.

The loquat tree in the Su's Fort swayed, as though it was shivering in fear from being judged by an invisible being.

Mister Su appeared along with Shen Lian and he frowned.

”You devil, as if it wasn't enough that you went to have fun at the mortal realm, you even brought back an illegitimate child with you!” a woman spoke.

”I hope your brain is as well-endowed as your breasts. I was barely gone for a year, how could I father a son of this age?” Mister Su replied with a bitter smile on his face.

”It might be from way back.” The woman snickered, but she was nowhere to be seen.

”Even if I were to father any children, it would be with you.”

”Scram, did I say I want to have a child with you? Unless you kill this boy, otherwise I wouldn't believe your words.”

”That won't do. Why don't I chop off this loquat tree so that you can blow off some steam?” Mister Su glanced at the psychic loquat tree.

The loquat tree lowered its treetop in fear.

”Why would I want to chop off this tree? It's not as though we need more firewood. I see something really is up with this boy then,” the woman spoke in a slightly angered tone.

A red light flashed across the sky. It was a flame-made phoenix, and there were hints of the phoenix's howl.

The surrounding time-space seemed melted into half and was extremely twisted.

Mister Su did not mean what he said about chopping of the tree, of course. He just said it to calm his wife down. He knew that his wife would not be angered by the sight of the tree after hearing that.

Though, he would not allow Shen Lian to be killed. Even though he was not afraid of the person, he would clearly be in the wrong.

Mister Su waved his sleeved and absorbed the flaming phoenix as though he had created a void.

Unexpectedly, his sleeve was caught on fire. 'To think that she had cultivated the Nanming Lihuo to this extent, I wonder if she would dominate over me in a few hundred more years,' Mister Su thought.

The moment he thought of that, he wished he could go into a solitary retreat immediately. If words were to get out that he could not beat his wife in a fight, he would be embarrassed to death.

Casually, he flung Shen Lian away. He blew out a stream of white air and extinguished the flame.

The phoenix's howl could be heard in the arbor.

In a flash, a woman dressed in palace attire appeared. She had the mark of fire phoenix between her brows. ”What's the fun in mortal realm? It's so murky and dirty, only you can stand it. Don't even think of coming home before cleaning yourself at the Sky River,” she said while wrinkling her nose.

As though she could not stand the murkiness of the mortal realm, the woman in palace attire glared at Mister Su before disappearing. She did not even bother herself with Shen Lian's whereabouts.

Actually, she was more than capable of telling that Shen Lian was not biologically related to Mister Su.

”You should leave. Who knows, one day she might burn you down in anger. Find somewhere to shapeshift, and the arbor is all yours now.” Mister Su patted the trunk of the loquat tree and shook his head.

The Su's Fort was shrunk to palm-sized, and it was sitting on Mister Su's palm like a toy.

The loquat tree stood next to Mister Su, and Mister Su tossed the instrument at the branches of the loquat tree.

Shortly after, Mister Su turned into a rainbow and soared into the clouds.
