Little Phoenix Is Not An Immortal - Chapter 51

On the way, Tian Zhen was in and out of consciousness. The effect of the Evil Orchid had gradually disappeared, and the stiffness had started to spread again. Her condition was not good. The Devil God traveled day and night with Jiu SiCang at a high speed in a bid to quickly return to Void Heaven. Upon reaching the Demon Realm, the Devil God first ordered Jiu SiCang to take Tian Zhen to Qin Hall. The citizens, who had heard of their return, had come one by one to have a look. But, though they had intent, their courage was finite thus they merely gathered at the foot of the stairs leading up to Qin Hall and watched.

Having accompanied the supreme leader who was adept at making cannon fodder on an assignment alone, Jiu SiCang had been anxious throughout the journey, feeling on an edge. He dared not stay any longer. Hurriedly rushing into Qin Hall, he settled Tian Zhen down on a couch, and called out “Bird woman” twice, before sighing and quickly flying away.

Tian Zhen dazedly awoke. Her stiff body brought her discomfort, her legs and hands had already lost perception.

At that moment, a small hand reached out and pinched her face.

“Hey, how did you become like this?”, the voice was not boisterous like before, it was soft and tinged with a bit of restlessness.

Tian Zhen’s heart warmed up.

It was good that the little devil was still alive. Xian Hou said he had been heavily injured by Chui Tian. He ought to have fully recovered by now, right?

While she was thinking, her mouth was pried open. And before she could react, something soft and flexible was fed to her. It seemed to be alive and squirmed as it went down her throat.translat ed by puretl. com / don’t re post / steal

Tian Zhen’s skin crawled and she nearly jumped in fury.

A worm? This lousy child still thought she was a bird!

“This is a mind-reading worm, you think that just anyone can eat it?.” He continued with a huff, “It wasn’t easy for me to find one, and I gave it to you… Yet you still dare to scold me!”

Mind reading worm? Tian Zhen was surprised.

Seemingly understanding her thoughts, Lu Xiao Can explained, “Yes, its quite interesting. I will know whatever you are thinking if I feed it to you after retaining a bit of its blood.”

Sure enough, it was a stomach parasite. This is what they call ‘high tech’. Since she was poisoned, Tian Zhen could neither speak nor move. She was like a vegetable, completely depressed and bored. It was rare for her to come by such an opportunity to interact with someone. Her mood couldn’t help but get better as she asked: “Are your injuries fine now?”

Lu XiaoCan snorted and indignantly said, “That DaPeng bird was very stupid. If it were not for the snake lady who upto no good, I would not have been injured.”

Tian Zhen found it laughable. This kid still refused to admit defeat, huh. “Didn’t she save you afterwards?”

“It wasn’t her, it was Fuhuang who saved me” He replied with an unusual tone.

Tian Zhen was surprised. “Your Fuhuang?”

“You became beautiful after you lost your wings, so Fuhuang listened to you. He really came and saved me…” muttered Lu XiaoCan, “However you secretly ran off and returned like this… What now?”

Tian Zhen was overcome with regret, she had originally thought that it was Heavenly Lady Huan, she had never expected the Devil God to personally go.

Countless examples from before had let her know that she would be the one to suffer losses in the end. The child was heavily injured, so the Devil God would have undoubtedly first taken him back to be treated. If she had waited a few more days at Mount Qiao, she was unlikely to have ended up like this, suffering so completely from the consequences of her own actions.

“I knew it! It must have been her who drove you away!” Lu XiaoCan exclaimed indignantly.

Her mind had been read by him. Tian Zhen could imagine the belligerent appearance of the kid. Worried that he might be made to suffer by Heavenly Lady Huan, she warned him, “You mustn’t cause problems, otherwise no one will be able to save you!”

Lu XiaoCan didn’t continue on the topic. With a bit of schadenfreude, he continued: “After healing me, Fuhuang immediately went out to search for you, he didn’t care about her at all. Don’t be afraid, Fuhuang is unmatched in the six realms. He will definitely be able to cure you.”

Tian Zhen smiled bitterly.

Cure me? A whole crowd of people is waiting for him to cure me. I don’t want to be regarded as the source of calamity by the Demon World.

Lu XiaoCan’s voice suddenly became respectful, “Fuhuang.”

By the time Tian Zhen realized, the atmosphere in the Hall had already changed.

“My son, why are you talking to yourself?”

“I was talking with her just now”, answered Lu XiaoCan earnestly. “I fed her the mind-reading worm.”

The Devil God evidently knew about the mind-reading worm. And he actually asked, “What did she want to say?”

Lu XiaoCan looked at Tian Zhen and hesitated, “She…….”

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Tian Zhen became anxious. This trap could be easily discerned, and this God probably already realized it.  But his attitude must make him realize that life and death are decreed by fate, so Lu XiaoCan would not be blamed.

“My son?”

“She isn’t happy. She said that Fuhuang wasn’t willing to hug her.”

The atmosphere in the Hall changed again.

Tian Zhen broke out into cold sweat. This damn worm, she only casually complained about it in her heart a short while ago, but was unexpectedly read by it.

Ever since this woman had come, this God’s dignity, prestige and face have all become like floating clouds, trivial and meaningless. The Devil God spoke again, “I want to check her condition, you withdraw first.”

Lu XiaoCan heeded the dismissal.
