Chapter 226 Legendary (2/2)

With light steps, she walked past Fenghe and said ”The guest that you greeted earlier seemed alright. And he even treated you a cup of tea. If he's a man, don't even think about liking him. The more cultivated a man is, the more heartless they could be.”

There were hints of hatred in her words.

Fenghe blushed as she thought to herself that each and every guest were amazing. She could not help but thought of Shen Lian and felt that he was not the heartless cruel type of person. But people like him have nothing to do with her even if they were sentimental beings. She felt a little sad by that thought.

She compared herself to the girl in white and felt like a wildflower on the mountains; she thought to herself, ”Only girls like her would be good enough for him.”

Her qualifications were not sufficient to seek for immortality and could only settle for supernatural powers. If she could not even live freely, it was harder to imagine people like Shen Lian or the girl in white to pursue someone like her. Even if there were some love involved, it would just be a minor part to their Dao journey and they would never go crazy over her.

With a troubled mind, she arrived at the Xuanguang Palace. Coincidently, the Tongzi under the Xuantong Demon King came out at the same time.

The Xuanguang Palace was a sacred place. She would not be able to enter the place without someone leading her in.

Tongzi looked at her and said, ”The King is inside, please follow me in.”

It was not a difficult task for the Xuantong Demon King to sense her arrival and Fenghe too did not think too much about it. She bowed to Tongzi and followed him in.

They passed by the long corridor that had a cloud fountain, and floras and faunas by its side. There was a green bamboo pond that swayed in the wind. It really looked like a garden in the air.

It was difficult to make something like that without a strong mana.

Actually many people were curious about how the Xuantong Demon King was able to build such a huge celestial city in the void. After all, maintaining the city itself would require a lot of effort. Some predicted that the Demon King used a magic talisman while others said that the city was transformed from a magic talisman, and that was why it was able to stay up in the sky and prosper for such a long period of time.

According to records, back in the ancient times, there was a similar magic talisman known as the 'Heaven Courtyard' that occupied a wide area of the milky way. A few days later, the Heaven Courtyard disappeared from the milky way.

Fenghe did not dare to look around but she could hear heavy footsteps of a group of people. She looked up to see a young adult in animal skin with a group of strong men walking towards the other lane.

The young adult saw her and was amazed.

Fenghe had yet encountered someone so straightforward like the young adult. But the young adult was well behaved and left after taking a peep at her. He did not stop to take more looks.

As she arrived the hall, the fragrant scent entered her nose and she temporarily forgot about her distracting thoughts. Xuantong Demon King was somewhere deep behind the curtains. The curtains had tiny silver hooks and pearls and would produce a crisp sound as they collided with each other. It sounded like a beautiful melody.

This would be her second time meeting Xuanguang Demon King. Her first time was three years ago when she just arrived.

A peaceful voice penetrated through the curtains, ”Tell me about the guest you have just welcomed. What has he done so far? Tell me all about it.”

Fenghe did not dare to conceal any information and she also felt that there was nothing for her to hide, thus she told the King about Shen Lian in detail. The truth was that she did not get to know much about him as she only spent a brief moment with him. But she answered every question the King asked.

After hearing about Shen Lian, Xuantong Demon King pondered for a while and said, ”Come closer.”

Fenghe obeyed the demand and came to the curtains. A slender hand with snow-like skin came out from the beaded curtain and pressed lightly on Fenghe's head.

The first thought that came to Fenghe's mind was, ”Could it be that the King was actually a female evil spirit?” She then heard a light snort and felt helpless as if someone was looking at her naked.

She could not help but recall the look of Shen Lian and it was so clear in her memories. Even Shen Lian's mountain-like eyebrows were crystal clear in her mind.

The scene was fast forwarded to the moment she exited Shen Lian's room.

The Xuantong Demon King retracted the hand and said, ”You may now leave. You don't need to report back to me if this guest requested for something. Just go ahead and do it. If it's something that you can't decide, please look for Jingting Tong Er.”

Jingting was the name of the Tongzi under her, and he was named Jingting because he was shapeshifted by the King at the Jingting Mountain. The Jingting Mountain was the place of enlightenment of the Lotus Sword Sect. An immortal Zhenren left behind the ”Green Lotus Codex of the Sword” to use as the sect establishing martial exercises. Back then, Xuantong Demon King once went to the Lotus Sword Sect with the intentions of learning swordcraft. But they did not allow it and even sent people to kill her.

Xuantong Demon King made a second trip to the Jingting Mountain but that time, she was already well accomplished as a cultivator and the Green Lotus Sword Sect surrendered the Green Lotus Codex of the Sword to her, and Jingting Tongzi was the Jiejian Stone of the Jingting Mountain.

Back then, the demon king was extremely charismatic and could easily turn rocks into a fairy. She took the codex of sword and left and no one could stop her.

This story was widely circulated and was the biggest shame of the Green Lotus Sword Sect.

But that was only a small episode of the legend of the Xuantong Demon King. Perhaps, she herself did not think that much about this incident.
