1458 The Angry Imperial Concubine (1/2)
Red-haired Bu Fang, his eyes shining, seemed to have transformed into a vermilion bird who descended from the sky. The feathers all over him were burning, giving off unmatched scorching heat. He had absorbed the power of those phoenix feathers, and he was returning it to the Divine Chefs.
Vermilion birds and phoenixes were different species. There were many kinds of phoenixes, but only one kind of vermilion bird. Also known as Rosefinch, vermilion birds were heavenly spirit beasts and were rarer than phoenixes. In fact, their status was nobler than that of phoenixes.
People often confused vermilion birds with phoenixes and even thought that phoenixes were nobler than them. Moreover, some people said that vermilion birds were actually fire phoenixes, the nobles among phoenixes with the purest bloodline.
Bu Fang didn't know that much. He only knew that when the few Divine Chefs produced the phoenix feathers, Mulberry—the Vermilion Bird—was so angry that she looked like a volcano about to erupt, and she became very violent.
The Divine Dragon, on the other hand, was gloating, and he stopped possessing to let Mulberry take over without getting Bu Fang's permission.
Although the men were Earth Divine Chefs with cultivation bases of mid-grade Gods, they instantly turned into ashes when they were burned by the scorching fire of the vermilion bird. The fire was not weaker than Bu Fang's Divine flame, and its power was even greater after merging with the power of the phoenix fire feathers.
In the eyes of all onlookers, the few Divine Chefs were burned down to ashes. Master Cheng tried to fight back, his eyes wide and filled with venom. He had thought that this would be his chance to get even with Bu Fang because he was backed by the imperial concubine, but little did he know that it would be his death.
He was filled with resentment. He hated not only Bu Fang but also the imperial concubine. He didn't want to provoke Bu Fang. He had fled far away, but it was because of the imperial concubine that he had come back. 'Damn all these people! Damn that bitch!'
Accompanied by a miserable shriek, Master Cheng's soul crumbled to pieces, then burned to ashes by the vermilion bird's fire, vanishing completely from the Chaotic Universe.
In midair, red-haired Bu Fang held his fingers like a lady and snorted. He patted his Vermilion Robe, then slowly descended to the ground.
All of a sudden, from where the few Divine Chefs died, the remnant of a phoenix feather floated up and burned slowly, then a mighty aura erupted out of it as if to destroy the world. A dreadful force filled the air as a dignified and graceful figure emerged, staring at Bu Fang.
”What a bold and murderous animal! Why aren't you kneeling in my presence?!”
As soon as the voice rang out, everyone knelt on the ground and looked scared. They knew the owner of the voice. She was the noble imperial concubine, the motherly model of the divine dynasty, and the mother to the crown prince.
Red-haired Bu Fang narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. Then, he raised a hand and put a finger on his lips. ”You are just a coquettish bitch. Why should this old lady kneel before you?” he said.
The onlookers were struck dumb.
”Is Mister Bu crazy? Or is his brain damaged? Why did he call himself an old lady? Is that his true nature?”
”Heavens… What happened?!”
”This is too exciting!”
The people around felt like they had discovered a new world.
”How dare you! You deserve to die a thousand times for insulting me! And you have killed my nephew, which is a crime punishable by getting a thousand cuts!” the imperial concubine said coldly.
”Who are you to judge this old lady? Do you think you will become a vermilion bird just by wrapping yourself in phoenix feathers? In this old lady's eyes, you are a coquettish bitch!” Red-haired Bu Fang's nostrils flared. He rested his hands on his hips and shouted hysterically at the imperial concubine's clone. It made him look like a shrew shouting abuse in the street.
However, before he could continue, he shuddered. His red hair turned back to black, and his angry face was calm and expressionless once again.
The corner of Bu Fang's mouth twitched violently. What had he done? Was he shouting abuse like a shrew just now? He glanced at the people around them, who were staring at him in surprise, and felt that he had made a fool of himself.
”So you are the imperial concubine…” Bu Fang said lightly, looking at the imperial concubine's clone and the phoenix behind her. She was shivering as if she had been greatly infuriated by him.
Suddenly, the void was torn apart, and then a figure stepped out of it, pointing a finger at the imperial concubine. The clone twisted, grew fainter, and disappeared, all while her mouth was moving as if she was saying something…
”What a disgusting woman,” Summer said from the sky, waving her finger and curling her lips in disdain.
The onlookers were astounded. That clone was the imperial concubine, and yet it was destroyed by the deputy with a finger. Was she not afraid the Divine Emperor would punish her? Was she not afraid the imperial concubine would fly into a rage out of humiliation and send an army to attack the Divine Chef Temple?
”You shouldn't have said so much to that bitch. You've done a good job by scolding her. A coquettish slut like that deserves to be scolded! As the Lord of the Divine Chef Temple, you should be so domineering!” Summer said.
Bu Fang was speechless. 'Is she serious? It's still embarrassing to scold like a shrew…' At least he felt that way, so he ignored her.
But still, he was shocked by this woman's aggressiveness. She was the Divine Emperor's younger sister, and yet she hated the imperial concubine so much. That was quite strange. It seemed that there must be some secret, causing Bu Fang to become suddenly curious.
”This woman is a Mo. You've killed Mo Hen, who is her beloved nephew, so you're going to be in danger… But you'll be fine. With your status, let's see who dares touch you!” Summer said, with her hands resting on her hips.
