Little Phoenix Is Not An Immortal - Chapter 56
Chapter 56: Dragon Emerging From the Water (2)
“Don’t eat me!” Tian Zhen finally came back to her senses. In a hurry, she bent over in a submissive gesture and smiled cautiously, “I didn’t mean to disturb!… I’ll go right away, I’ll go now.”
As she spoke, she moved her feet back.

Suddenly, the water in the pool exploded up with a ‘swoosh’, splashing up to a height of two meters, and sprinkling water all over.
After the water fell, the Devil God appeared by the pool.
“Your Majesty!” Tian Zhen opened her mouth wide.
“Phoenix.”
Discovering that the red-scaled dragon in the pool had disappeared, Tian Zhen vaguely understood something: “Your Majesty, just now… was that you?”
“My true form.”
He’s a dragon! Tian Zhen trembled, and the soles of her feet involuntarily retreated.
“Mmm?” In the blink of an eye, the figure of the Devil God moved in front of her, with an angry look in his dark eyes, “Gray Phoenix?”
Deliberately adding the word “gray” in front of the phoenix was a reminder. It meant that he was very dissatisfied with her reaction. The meaning was: You are only a gray phoenix, yet dare to judge me?
Of course, such a powerful dragon was indeed more than a hundred times more majestic and brighter than a gray phoenix in terms of image. Tian Zhen can understand his mood very well. He had hurt his vitality to save a person. As a result, the other party’s reaction of fear and rejection would inevitably cause an imbalance.
Tian Zhen immediately flattered: “I mean, Your Majesty… even if you are a dragon, you are truly… a handsome and heroic dragon.”
“You are fearful.”
“No, absolutely not!” Tian Zhen quickly clasped her hands above her chest and stated in adoration, “His Majesty’s true form is too… mighty, so I… was just struck with awe and love!”
“Feigned expression.”

It’s really not easy to deceive him. Tian Zhen gritted her teeth helplessly, and put her arms around his waist and said: “Really! When I accidentally saw His Majesty’s true form, I was just shocked, and was shy…” All the hair on her body all straightened up automatically.
The Devil God’s face was slightly better: “You have to get used to it.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” I’m not holding a dragon, not a dragon… Tian Zhen chanted silently. Trying her best to focus, she asked, “Is Your Majesty okay after detoxifying me?”
“No harm.” The devil raised his eyes.
If it really did not cause any harm, you wouldn’t have returned to your true form. Tian Zhen slowly let go of him, bowed her head, and said: “This matter was a conspiracy of the gods.”
“I am aware,” Devil God said, “you don’t have to worry.”
So he already knew. Tian Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and followed him to the outside hall, only to feel extremely hungry. Thinking that she was no better than a newborn deity, it was no wonder she couldn’t bear without food for so many days. So she hurriedly went out to find something to eat.
Just after walking down the seventh layer, a group of people suddenly jumped out from behind Rock Mountain.
“Bird Girl!”
“Gray Phoenix!”
Tian Zhen was startled at first, then smiled happily: “Were you guys waiting for me?”
Jiu Sicang replied: “Everyone was worried when they found out that you were poisoned. We waited here everyday for news!”
The Keeper of the Ancient Stone Laws pulled her closer to inspect her. “Is everything okay now?”
Tian Zhen burst into tears and hugged the demons.
Jiu Sicang took out a bottle and handed it to her: “It’s a very good medicine, dage[1] saved it for you!”
Before Tian Zhen could thank him, Yu Yangjiao stretched out her hand and pushed him away. “She was poisoned. There was no internal injury, don’t give her the wrong medicine!”
Jiu Sicang retorted: “It’s close enough! it’s better to eat some than not to eat at all.”
“Reckless!” Yu Yangjiao scorned, and she then took two plates of fragrant pastries from the maidservant and handed them to Tian Zhen. “Look at you, you are so thin! Jiejie[2] made some pastries for you. These aren’t ordinary pastries, they are nourishing and antiaging. Guaranteed they are effective!”
Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a blue shadow in the distance. Tian Zhen was stunned for a while before she recovered, and quickly thanked everyone.
After drinking and celebrating with all the demons, Tian Zhen only returned to the Qin Palace Hall with the parties when the night pearls on the giant pillars of the Devil Shrine.
Seeing this, the Devil God said: “Inferior physique.”
The question of physique was really sensitive. It constantly reminded her of the gap between her and the innate deities. Tian Zhen’s expression dropped. “The physique of the Devil Palace is much better, and there are also plenty of innate deities. If Your Majesty dislikes it, I will find them!”
The Devil God turned his face and commented. “A poor physique doesn’t do much harm.”
Tian Zhen couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
The Devil God grabbed her and warned. “Phoenix.”
Forgetting this god’s good face, Tian Zhen took a bite of the cake in her hand, and at the same time, a wink flew over: “I was wrong, Your Majesty~”

The Devil God let go of her.
Following this god, the moral cultivation has been improved, and the thickness of her face is also increasing. Tian Zhen touched her face and sighed with emotion. It’s really shameless…
She sat on the couch: “Your Majesty, I want to ask you a few questions.”
“Speak.”
“If it was Jiu Sicang and the others who were poisoned, would you save them?”
“I will give them justice and make the conspirators pay the price.”
“Your Majesty loves his subordinates, so won’t you save them?”
“There are many subordinates, and my strength is limited.”
