"Ahem... I need to think about it."

Phoenix imagined it for a moment, then smiled broadly and said...

Actually, at this point, it was already preparing to become an elder or something.

It's not like it's murder or arson, so what's the big deal about being an elder?

Wang Shu Shaojun's lips twitched as he gazed intently at the phoenix in mid-air, yearning for the vast expanse of immortal herbs.

“That…” she reached out her hand, trembling.

She's really poor...

Do you want to back out?

A sharp glint appeared in the phoenix's beady eyes!

With a flick of its small, fiery red wing, leaving a trail of flames, it roared, "Shut up! From now on, call me Elder!" It breathed out a mouthful of fire, scorching the air, shutting down Wang Shu Shaojun, and then flew excitedly to its future companion, saying, "Give us some first!"

A wing stretched straight out.

Wang Shu Shaojun looked at the brightly colored wings with a sorrowful expression.

The Northern Divine Kingdom... although it has some immortal herbs, it's definitely not enough for this fat phoenix to eat in one bite.

She was short of money.

Besides, is it something to be proud of to have tricked a greedy phoenix? She couldn't understand why Xuanxi Tianjun had gone to such lengths to trick this fat phoenix into becoming his elder. Wasn't he just creating an ancestor for himself? She could only hang her head in frustration, take out her only immortal herb, place it on the phoenix's wing, and watch it fly away to nibble on it contentedly. She then whispered to Xuanxi Tianjun, "Why did you insist on inviting this... senior to be an elder?"

Xuanxi Tianjun remained expressionless as he stroked her hair.

He looked at the bewildered Wang Shu Shaojun, a warm smile curving his thin lips, and leaned down to kiss the corner of her mouth.

"don’t worry."

"But even the divine realm doesn't have that many immortal herbs." Won't the phoenix devour them then?

The fat phoenix, who was munching on the immortal herb in the distance, suddenly froze.

"It's alright, you don't have it, but I do. If I don't have it, Master's medicine garden has some too." The saying "rich and powerful, favoring outsiders" perfectly describes Xuanxi Tianjun.

He tenderly stroked his lover's hair, as if returning to that cycle of reincarnation, to the years when he sheltered and protected her. A gentle smile graced his eyes and brows as he patiently said, "You have offended the Heavenly Emperor, rebelled against Heaven, and although your senior brother's affair with Biluo is unrelated to you, I fear the Water Star Lord will take his anger out on you." Thinking about it this way, Wang Shu Shaojun really was quite unlucky; it seemed he had enemies all over the world.

What's more, each of his enemies is more deadly than the last.

Even setting aside the Heavenly Emperor, the Water God who governs the water systems of the Three Realms is no pushover.

Wang Shu Shaojun has offended so many immortals, won't he be eaten as soon as he goes out?

Although Xuanxi Tianjun is there to look after his beloved, he still lives in constant fear, which makes him uneasy.

"Does taking this phoenix mean everything is over?" Wang Shu Shaojun asked incredulously.

It's just a fat phoenix.

Does he really have that much influence?

I couldn't tell at all.

Upon hearing that Xuanxi Tianjun was willing to provide immortal herbs, the fat phoenix felt no pressure and continued to eat and drink heartily.

It ate with a beaming smile, making the little green snake so hungry that it curled its tail. Its pitiful appearance immediately made the Six Paths Immortal Lord feel a little sorry for it.

Although this was a notorious ancient demonic serpent that constantly eyed him covetously and drooled, the Six Paths Immortal Lord's heart softened instantly when he thought of how Xiao Liu had protected him when he was in danger. Great storytellers often have a sentimental heart, and with deep affection, he stroked the little serpent's head and offered it a precious herb from his collection.

"Little Six, we're definitely true love." The little snake hummed contentedly, chewing on the magic herb and curling its tail.

His Immortal Lord's face slowly twisted.

Xuanxi Tianjun glanced at his subordinate once, then withdrew his gaze without interest, took his lover's hand and said softly, "This senior, if I am not mistaken, is the number one spirit beast under the Southern Immortal Emperor three hundred thousand years ago."

He paused, watching the eavesdropping phoenix proudly swirl its tail and fly off to busy itself in the distance, before lowering his voice to say, "Its master has always been on good terms with the Star Lord of Water. With its influence, the Star Lord will certainly not hold a grudge against you, mere goddess." He paused again before continuing, "This senior is a good friend of Yingzhao, the great demon of our Celestial Court... The Heavenly Emperor dares not... would not refute Yingzhao's words."

In retrospect, despite the repeated delays, Wang Shu Shaojun suddenly felt that the Heavenly Emperor seemed to be having a rather miserable time.

"So you've got quite a background?" Wang Shu Shaojun asked in surprise.

"Since it has become an elder of the divine kingdom, the Northern Divine Kingdom can enjoy peace for 100,000 years in the future." Xuanxi Heavenly Lord knew that what his lover cared about most were those furry demon beasts in the North, and gently tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear.

Only when all those furry monsters are at peace can the Heavenly Lord enjoy some quality time with his beloved, right?

"I suddenly feel really sorry for this senior." Wang Shu Shaojun felt extremely embarrassed that he had been tricked out of a few immortal herbs.

“It is very cunning and can be deceived, but only because it is willing to be deceived by you,” Xuanxi Tianjun said gently.

This phoenix may look fat and chubby, and it's quite greedy, but to be honest, having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, it's definitely an old monster. Where would it get so much naivety and ignorance?

Moreover, Xuanxi Tianjun knew more. This phoenix that had inexplicably appeared here was definitely the kind of phoenix that couldn't be messed with. He dared to lie because the phoenix seemed willing to be deceived, right? Otherwise, he would have already bowed down to his beloved Shushu. Xuanxi Tianjun held his lover's soft hand and looked at the phoenix darting in and out of the immortal herbs in the distance. Suddenly, he felt that he was also quite speechless.
