Chapter 838: She Was The One And Only Phoenix

The immortal had never heard the Emperor speak in such a tone that made it sound like he was sobbing.

The immortal subconsciously glanced at the man, but he did not see anything other than his pale fingers.

There was almost nothing strange about the Emperor. He even put up a half-smile during the Heavenly feast, enjoying the dancing and singing in celebration.

It appeared as though everything was back to normal. There were always people following the Emperor whenever he was listening to the Buddhist Scriptures at Buddhism so he would never get bored.

A witch who had recently been promoted to the celestial class followed him around the most.

Unknowingly, the immortal was afraid that Lord Phoenix would be mad if she saw them.

However, the Emperor seemed to deliberately pick that way out of so many other paths.

In fact, every time when they passed by Phoenix’s door, it was closed. However, on the third day, they met face to face.

Nevertheless, Lord Phoenix did not seem to change at all. She looked indolent and unconcerned as usual. Although she did not speak to others, she did not appear impolite. Whoever showed up did not affect her.

Most of the time, she sat under the Bodhi tree with a scripture placed on her legs. Occasionally, she would turn her head to check on the growth of Bodhi with her calm expression. She would sometimes speak softly as though she was talking to the Bodhi tree or perhaps she was just mumbling to herself.

Their distance was not that far. The immortal felt that Lord Phoenix must have seen the Emperor and the witch. He felt strange that she did not show any reactions at all.

The witch smiled as she uttered, “Rumor has it that Lord Phoenix from Buddhism had no one in her eyes except for the Bodhi. Now that I finally meet her, it appears that the rumor is true. Very few people would water the Bodhi with mythical water so willingly. It’s such a pity that the Bodhi cannot transform into a human. If it could, these hundreds of years they have spent together would be a fate for Lord Phoenix. Anyway, from the look of Lord Phoenix, she does not seem to care whether the Bodhi could transform. All she wants is to stay by its side, which is very enviable. Unfortunately, Lord Phoenix is the lead of Buddhism, her heart and her mind only yearn for Buddhism, and she won’t fall in love. Otherwise, she does seem to have a crush on Bodhi given her attitude toward it.”

The man did not speak, his smile turned deeper than usual, so cold that it was unpleasant to look at.”Her heart and her mind only yearn for Buddhism? She is not as well-behaved as she appears to be.”

The man walked away after putting a baffling statement into words. The winds aroused by him caused a rather prickly feeling to the face.

The immortal could only sense that something was subtly strange with the Emperor and Lord Phoenix, but he could not figure out what exactly went wrong.

On the contrary, the witch who was standing aside put up a faint smile, a tinge of gentleness flashed across her eyes when she lifted her gaze. She was indeed the Golden Lotus.

Before the Golden Lotus had transformed into human form, she already possessed six senses and seven thoughts.

One of the thoughts evoked because of the Emperor, causing her to eventually fall into the magical realm.

Since her primordial spirit was the Golden Lotus, so she was able to blossom in just hundreds of years of practicing and be promoted to the celestial class.

When she was in Buddhism, she had already figured out the type of woman that could attract the Emperor’s attention.

It was none other than the fact that Phoenix was not aware of the Emperor’s existence when she was hunting.

However, he who was savoring his wine had laid his eyes on Phoenix.

Since then, the Golden Lotus realized that she must be unique in order to get the man’s attention.

This was also the reason why she chose to confess her love directly to the man in public.

This way the man would then remember her.

Actually, both that woman, Phoenix, and her used the same tactic.

Both of them were playing hard to get.

It was just that Phoenix was dense for being too stubborn. She did not know that regardless of how obstinate she was, she needed to learn to compromise at times.

In fact, the Golden Lotus always believed that the man would lose interest quickly if he could conquer something easily.

Phoenix did have an added advantage in winning at first.

However, as she took every initiative she could subsequently, it eventually caused the man to become bored with her.

Golden Lotus smiled gently, disguising herself as a witch so that no one could realize her presence.

Even Venerable did not know the evil countenance she had developed herself into at Hell...

The news about the breakup of the Emperor and Phoenix spread like wildfire in Six Paths.

No one seemed to be surprised about the news. In fact, they treated the news as a laughingstock as they were holding their glasses in the Heavenly feast while enjoying the wine sip by sip.

“What have I said? Both of them will definitely break up. The Emperor will not pamper someone forever, not to mention Phoenix who is not his cup of tea. Perhaps Phoenix is too difficult to approach, so that’s why the Emperor gave it a try.”

“How do you know? You’re not even the Emperor.”

“Of course, I know. Phoenix has an appearance and charisma extremely rare in the world, but she is way too cold. No man likes women who are not gentle. Look at Phoenix, she can fill and level up the Sea of Blood without blinking. Maybe she will stab you in the back one day. Women like her have a cruel heart, and you won’t feel comfortable with her. Unlike that witch who has recently become a celestial being, she knows when to be strong and when to be obedient. This kind of woman is the one who can win the favor of the men.”

“Come on, don’t be that mean to Phoenix. Who was the one who expressed his desire to marry Phoenix previously?”

“It is true that I do like Phoenix, but it is better to take a good look at a woman like her from a distance. If I get the chance to be with her all day long, I will be bored too. As a woman, she needs to reveal some gentleness in her. Who will like someone who only knows how to kill? The Emperor probably broke up with her because of the lack of novelty.”

“Hey, watch your mouth, she’s coming!”

“Who is coming?”

“Phoenix!”

Once they heard the words, the people at the Heavenly feast immediately shut their mouths as they turned their heads around. As expected, a figure who was not far away was approaching them slowly.

She was stepping on floating clouds. Unlike other women, Phoenix did not dress up herself. She was still wearing her cassock which was dragged on the ground with her black hair contrasted with her white robe and her prayer beads enlacing her slender fair wrist. A long cloak which was worn over her shoulders was as red as a raging fire.

A tall figure with long legs, revealing her pure and innocence within her unruliness demeanor. She was able to give out a strong impression by just standing there.

To be honest, every appearance of Phoenix would leave the others in astonishment.

This woman was filled with a surge of handsome charisma inside out.

It appeared as though no matter what happened, she was the unique existence between Heaven and Earth, and she would not bend even half an inch.

Those well-dressed Ladies Buddha and fairies lost their shine if compared to her.

No one could deny the fact that Phoenix’s elegance was groomed since she was a child. The attitude had blended well into her actions and no one could imitate her.

However, despite that, she was still dumped by the Emperor.

Now the entire Six Paths knew how contemptible Phoenix was...
