Little Phoenix Is Not An Immortal - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Dragon Emerging From the Water

The parasol tree’s leaves fluttered down in the Immortal Realm.

Zhao Hua Jun stood in the corridor. His eyebrows were tightly knit, and his expression was obviously not very good. Dragon Girl De Yin, who was beside him, supported herself on a pillar. She had her head down and remained silent.

“Yiyi, why must you do this?”

“Do you really not understand why I did it?”

“Although you were willful back then, you never did things behind my back.”

“Now that I’m doing things behind your back, are you disappointed?” Dragon Girl’s eyes turned red as she looked up at him. “Is she more important than your majesty’s trust in you? For an ordinary phoenix, you blame me for her?”

Zhao Hua Jun shook his head and said, “I haven’t mentioned her matter to you. It was my negligence. I thought you would understand.”

“Every time you make excuses for delaying the wedding, if I really didn’t understand, then wouldn’t I be a fool?”

“Yiyi!”

“His Majesty trusted you because you never hide anything from him.” Dragon Girl interrupted him. “You don’t think his Majesty will know if you keep silent? What do you think the dispatched ones in the Immortal Realm do? The Heavenly Empress specially asked me to test you. Sure enough, you are aware. I will inform His Majesty about this. I will ask him to only mention me and not you. Then, she will no longer resent you, but what am I doing this for? Now everyone knows that I’m jealous, they know that I’m ruthless… Do I have any face left now?”

Zhao Hua Jun was silent for a moment, and held her shoulders: “I overreacted, you…”

“What I didn’t expect was that you could do this to protect her.” Dragon Girl pushed him away with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that she disappeared at the gate of the garden, Zhao Hua Jun hesitated to say anything. At that moment, Deacon Yu Xiao walked quickly and stopped beside him.

“King.”

“The results?”

Yu Xiao presented the porcelain bottle with both hands: “As expected by King, the Demon Emperor ordered someone to send it back.”

Zhao Hua Jun took the porcelain bottle and put it into his sleeve: “He has always been conceited.”

Yu Xiao added: “As King had said, if the Demon Emperor really used his God Halo to save her, his body would be damaged. This would be a good opportunity for us. Little Phoenix knows that King sacrificed blood for her, and should have no more reason to complain. King has incredible foresight, truly brilliant.”

Zhao Hua Jun didn’t say anything. He motioned him to step back as he stood quietly for a while, and then walked slowly into the room.

………………

The Devil Palace:

The sound of water faintly echoed in the empty hall.

When she opened her eyes, Tian Zhen saw the dark roof of the palace. Fortunately, the sky never changed and it was endlessly dark, so Tian Zhen’s eyes quickly adapted.

The long-lost scene was clearly presented in front of her eyes again. The stiffness in her body disappeared, and the sense of touch in her legs were restored. Having found herself freed, Tian Zhen‘s excitement was indescribable.

Tian Zhen quickly turned over and got up from the couch. She was eager to find someone to go out to see the scenery with.

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty, I can see now!”

She called twice, but there was no response.

The Hall was spacious, and the beam from the night pearl caused the ground to be white, as if covered in frost.

Tian Zhen had slept in the center of the Hall. Her enthusiasm gradually cooled and turned into a faint worry. She owed a big favor this time. She wondered how he was doing.

Finding someone in the Hall was very simple, except for the couch, there was no other furnishing.

And so, Tian Zhen scanned every corner carefully, and after confirming that he was not present, she planned to go out to look for him.

The slight sound of water sounded again, and it seemed very close.

Tian Zhen stopped. She listened carefully for a moment, turned around, and followed the sound to the back of the couch. She leaned over and pressed her face to the wall, but something strange had happened – the seemingly ordinary wall was actually nothingness as her whole person passed through!

Behind the wall was unimaginably strange.

An empty and solemn ‘Black Stone Hall’ was filled with a familiar chilling atmosphere. There were no redundant furnishings in this hall, except for a pool of water in the center. It was rippling waves and a familiar cold blue light was showing through.

The water splashed, and there seemed to be a foreign object in the pool.

There was still such a place behind the bedroom? Tian Zhen was surprised.

On her tiptoes, she walked closer to the pool, calling softly, “Your Majesty? Are you…”

In an instant, a shocking scene came into view.

Is that……

What is that?! The legendary dragon? It’s a dragon!

Tian Zhen stood there dumbfounded.

The water of the pool was clear, and a huge red-scaled dragon hovered at the bottom of the pool. It had horns and a beard, and looked majestic and had an awe-inspiring presence.The scales were bright as blood, reflected against the splendid blue water waves, it looked extremely magnificent.

At a closer look, the blue light was actually emanating from the dragon.

The blue waves were rippling around the red dragon, as if embracing it. Normally people would inevitably be intimidated by this scene. This was the so-called ‘Lord Ye’s passion for dragons[1]’. As such, every hair on Tian Zhen stood up. Her legs were shaking, but she couldn’t move.

The dragon seemed to have noticed her presence. The dragon opened his eyes and looked towards the shore, in those eyes were blazing flames; it was terrifying.

Footnote:

[1] Lord Ye’s passion for dragons: An idiom. “Lord Ye is a young man who really likes dragons. His house is decorated by dragons all over. A real dragon hears about this and is deeply moved. He wants to visit Lord Ye and be friends with him. But when the real dragon comes to visit, Lord Ye is terrified and runs away as fast as he can.”
