Chapter 83: CH 49

Chapter 49.1

The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the attack on the heavens. However, three days later, the fireball thrown back by Xing Zhi was found in the northern corner of the heavens where it made a mess. 

There was not a single living person. The gods set up camp and there and let soldiers look for clues. 

After searching for so long, their inefficiency has made all the wise immortals worry. What was more worrying was that the people who attacked the heavens this time weren’t the demons and not even monsters, but the nature of the attack seemed to be from the Beihai (Beihai means north of the sea) clan who has been living in the deep sea of the north. They always were an extremely meek and peaceful race. 

They have never provoked war for thousands of years, but this time they attacked the heavens like crazy. If they dare to do this in the heavens… What unbearable things have they done in the lower realms?

The Heavenly Emperor was furious and immediately went to Beihai to find out. However, before he could go, the Demon Realm handed over an urgent letter dated five days ago. The content of the letter made the Emperor pale…

Xiyuan collapsed, so Shen Li had to move back to Fu Rong Jun’s mansion, this time to prevent someone from taking advantage of her serious injury Fu Rong, personally added a enchantment to the room where Shen Li lived, and Xing Zhi moved into Jun Fu’s mansion without hesitation. 

Two distinguished guests stayed at his home, so Fu Rong Jun couldn’t do anything outrageous in the mansion anymore, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

On this day, he called his acquaintance Xian Jun to play with him, and the other party laughed at him: 

“The rumor is that when this Azure King was injured, the High God was furious. He even hugged her. It seems that the two of them have a very close relationship. If you marry her in the future… your life won’t be easy.” 

Jun Fu Rong heard this and his face paled He swept the chess piece, stomped his feet, and said angrily: 

“You really are using this to ridicule me! I called you so I can forget all of this!”

The other party just laughed, and suddenly they heard messy and fast footsteps. They looked around and saw Youkan walking into the yard with her face ugly. When she saw Fu Rong she said coldly “Where is the Azure King ?” 

Fu Rong was startled, and rubbed his forehead in distress: 

“Let me tell you, Sister Huang, It’s better if you don’t add to the chaos right now, that person is now protected by the High God, how can we do anything? You stop and go back.”

Youlan’s eyes were cold while she stared at Jun Fu Rong. She just asked again: “Where is the Azure King ?”

Only then did Fu Rong realize that something was wrong, but he still hesitated a little : 

“In…in the backyard wing, in order to heal her injuries, I set up a barrier for her…”

“Take me there.” Then without waiting for Fu Rong she hurried forward. 

But after taking two steps, she saw that Fu Rong wasn’t following, so she turned her head and stared at him fiercely.

Fu Rong trembled with fright and hurriedly walked forward to lead Youlan.

He asked as they walked: “What’s the matter?”

Youlan ignored him, and when she walked to the door of the small courtyard, Jun Fu Rong suddenly paused,

“I will open the barrier, so you can go in, but you have to go alone, I will not go, I am afraid to see the High God…”

Youlan stepped into the yard without hesitation. The barrier was closed behind her. 

This time it seemed that Fu Rong had spent some time thinking about Shen Li’s healing place. The winding path was quiet, and the trail was full of fragrant vegetation. Separated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. 

Youlan walked faster but stopped when she was about to walk out of the fragrant woods because she faintly saw Xing Zhi and Shen Li standing at the door through the shadow of the tree, Shen Li’s expression was unhappy, the two of them were arguing.

“Why do you need to spend so much time caring about one skin injury?! It’s a waste of time!”

Xing Zhi stood inside the door, his hands blocking the door, his expression indifferent, and Shen Li’s anxiety became more and more clear, “Let me out!

” You can’t go out until the injury is healed.” Xing Zhi said it lightly.

“The injury is healed! Those fireballs are not as powerful as imagined…”

“If it weren’t for the spiritual energy in the room overflowing and my friends protecting your body with divine power, do you think you could speak so loudly today? “

Shen Li was taken aback and suddenly remembered that at that time, she felt that her whole body was cooled a lot. It turned out…that the power of the spiritual tablets leaked out to protect her… 

Shen Li felt that those ancient gods were really amazing. This was extremely kind of them. Even if there was only a memorial tablet left, they still took the time to protect her.

Shen Li continued: “So, High God will help Shen Li say my thanks when I go to worship next time. Also, you said so yourself, since I was protected, the injury isn’t all that, and it’s almost healed now, let me go out soon.”

“No way.”

Shen Li was furious, and asked every word: “Why are you doing this to me?!”

“What are you planning to do, that you need to go out so much?”

Shen Li smiled: “Five days have passed, but the heavenly realm has not caught the mastermind. Even if the person who is investigating the news only set off the day before yesterday, they should be able to run from the heavens to Beihai in two days! It wouldn’t take dozens of days to go back and forth, they probably were lost or already died by now! “

Shen sneered,” What efficiency! “

Xing Zhi just smiled “Those who should be in a hurry are not in a hurry, but you the one who has to heal, wants to go there to catch them.” 

” I’m almost blinded by being locked up here!” Shen Li gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, ” if it was in the past, I would definitely shoot out the nest of those bastards.”

“You were beaten by someone and feel unwilling to lose. You want to get it back at them.” Xing Zhi smiled and exposed her.

Shen Li didn’t want to look at him. Because of her anger, her mouth puffed subconsciously, because of anger, her mouth puffed subconsciously, but the arc was extremely small. If you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t be able to detect it.

But as she moved Xing Zhi could see her slightly bulging cheeks. The uneven skin tone was the traces of her previous burns. Thinking about her falling in his arms that day Xin Zhi almost subconsciously pressed lightly that piece of skin with his thumb and rubbed it twice.

“I will avenge you.” He spoke softly. 

When she heard his slightly kind voice Shen Li was stunned for a moment. She looked up at Xing Zhi and then pushed away his hand with a slap. 

She stared at him solemnly, her eyes cold and wise.

There were three red fingerprints on Xing Zhi’s wrist. He looked at Shen Li for a while, then dropped his hand, letting his wide sleeves cover the mark, he smiled, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

Chiapter 49.2

“High God.” Youlan suddenly spoke and walked out of the fragrant woods. She bowed:

“God, Azure King.” The two looked at Youlan. Before they had time to ask, Youlan said anxiously

“Lord, the Heavenly Emperor invites you to the Lingxiao Palace, there are important things to discuss.”

Shen Li frowned when she heard the seriousness in Youlan’s words: 

“Lead the way.”

Xing Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly: “Why didn’t the Heavenly Emperor didn’t just send a letter?”

Youlan said in a low voice, ” High god, it is really important.”

He stopped asking and nodded: “So, let’s go together.”

In the Lingxiao Hall, the civil servants and generals of the Celestial Realm were separated on two sides. 

The Emperor of Heaven was sitting on the dragon chair with a serious face. Seeing Xing Zhi and Shen Li coming together, his brows wrinkled slightly, making people look at the first seat on the left.[1] He opened his mouth and said:

“Azure King, here is a letter from the Demon Realm, please take a look.” 

The attendant presented the letter to Shen Li, and Shen Li took it and only glanced, her face turned pale. Severely: “When did the news come?”

“It came five days ago.” The Emperor sighed a little, “The attack caused the immortals to be busy and neglected this letter. No one showed to me until today.”

Shen Li’s expression became colder, she said, “Emperor, what happened?”

“The capital of the Demon Realm was also attacked by the Beihai Clan. The Demon Lord was in a coma. A dozen demon generals died, and it happened everywhere… The situation is extremely critical.”

Shen Li’s brows tightened every time the Emperor said a word. This is the battle report of five days ago, and now the situation must be even worse. 

Shen Li has a lot to say about the efficiency of the Celestial Realm, but at this time any complaints to allies are useless. The more critical the situation, the calmer she has to stay to analyze the situation.

Shen Li closed her eyes, cleared the emotions in her heart, and said coldly after a moment:

“In this way, the attack on the heavens five days ago was a feint[2], it was the method of the other party to attack the west.”

If they really wanted to attack the heavens, how could there be only such a spot for launching fireballs, and how could they hit a secluded place like Xiyuan?

The other part was just using a trick to get everyone in heaven tired of running up and down, so there would be no time to take care of other things.

Heaven couldn’t help the Demon Realm, so the other side’s main troops attacked the Demon Realm… The Demon Lord was in a coma, and a dozen generals died…

Such heavy casualties, the Demon Realm shouldn’t have suffered so much. 

The Demon’s Realm is different from the Celestial Realm, Shen Li is very clear on that. Those generals are all elites.

“Shen Li begs the emperor to allow her to return to the demon world right now.” 

“This is natural.” 

The emperor waved his hand, and someone else presented a few boxes full of pills.

“The Demon Lord is in a coma because he was injured badly. Azure King, take these boxes of pills back to the demon world and give them to the Demon Lord. If someone fires up soldiers against the Demon Realm again, you will be able to help the Demon Realm to suppress the thieves in a short time.”

.”Thanks for the emperor’s kindness.” Shen Li took the pill without delay, turned, and left.

Seeing Shen Li’s figure disappearing at the entrance of the High Heaven Palace, Xing Zhi’s eyebrows moved slightly, and he suddenly heard the emperor calling by his side: “High God, what do you think about this?”

“It isn’t a coincidence that the Demon’s world was attacked. I believe that this should be a power struggle, and the Beihai clan may also be a borrowed cover.” 

The Emperor nodded: “The High god and I have the same thought. The Demon Realm has been submissive to the Heaven Realm for many years, there are many dissatisfied people among them, and some people are bound to make trouble. If they want to overthrow the current regime of the Demon Real to establish a new king… and if the new king as opposed to the heavens, this would be very troublesome.” 

The civil and military officials were a little noisy for a while, and they were all talking softly with the people around them.

The emperor turned his head and looked at Xing Zhi: “High god have been exhausted recently, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet has not been successful. I am really incapable.”

Usually, Xing Zhi would say a polite sentence, but today he didn’t say a word.

It looks like he agreed with the emperor’s words and said silently, “You are incompetent.”

The emperor stayed silently, and all the hundred officials too. Finally, the emperor coughed twice and said with a little embarrassment: 

“The High God has been away from the outer sky for a long time, and the outer sky is the source of the world’s fresh air. These days, the heavens are slightly chaotic, and the evil spirit is a little bit heavy… High God…”

“I will return to the outer sky tomorrow.” Xing Zhi faintly said a sentence and walked away.

There was a moment of silence in the Lingxiao Palace, and the Heavenly Emperor said: 

“After this incident, many shortcomings of the heavens have been exposed, and everyone saw it. After all, it is comfortable to live for a long time. Such a small matter was enough to make heaven fall into chaos. Once again, dear immortals, what should be investigated and cleaned up, it’s time to reorganize it.”

All of them agreed.

Shen Li walked to the southern heavenly gate, not knowing what to think of all of this, 

She turned her head inexplicably and suddenly saw Xing Zhi standing ten feet away behind her, staring at her calmly.

Shen Li clasped her fists and bowed deeply: “Thank you High God for taking care of me these days, Shen Li says goodbye.” 

Xing Zhi’s mouth moved, lowered his head with a smile, and whispered softly: 

“I can control it now.”

Hearing that, she turned her head without any attachment, and her long, bundled hair drew a neat arc in the air. She jumped down and walked past the southern gate.

Many days from now she would still think about this moment constantly.

Why he didn’t call her up that day, why he let her go so easily…He obviously still had something to say.
