"I descended to the mortal realm with no other intention than this."

The fat phoenix squatted on the head of the giant Yingzhao, trying its best to squeeze a sincere expression into its bean-like eyes.

Of course, the way its little beady eyes darted around betrayed its true nature.

Wang Shu Shaojun gave a bitter smile.

Looking at the enormous, gloomy-faced Yingzhao, and then at the massive, white fangs of this ancient divine beast, she felt even more tragic about herself.

Anyone who, excitedly preparing for their wedding, having already announced it to the three realms, ready to be a joyous bride and live forever with their beloved in this world, would feel utterly innocent if suddenly summoned by their master to Haoyang Mountain to risk their life for an explanation.

She truly hadn't expected that there were still those in the Three Realms who didn't take the Heavenly Emperor seriously, who could be driven away or beaten at will. The Heavenly Emperor still had a tail mark on his face. If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Mother of Cloud Sky was busy appeasing the uneasy immortals within the Celestial Court, Young Master Wang Shu wouldn't be sitting here.

She is currently choosing a celestial palace to live in with Xuanxi Tianjun in the future.

After all, housing is the most important thing.

Wang Shu Shaojun decided to choose a celestial palace as far away from the Heavenly Emperor as possible, preferably a distant celestial palace where distance would create beauty.

Otherwise, if they face each other every day, either the Heavenly Emperor will destroy her, or she will break through the heavens again!

However, Xuanxi Tianjun told her that she didn't need to force herself to stay in the Celestial Court for his sake.

Before all the immortals, they announced to the Three Realms that they had gotten married, and that they would return to their old home in the North together, never to play with the Heavenly Emperor and Empress again.

Deep down, he was quite pleased that the Heavenly Emperor had been slapped by Yingzhao's tail. However, Wang Shu Shao Jun was no longer the straightforward Wang Shu Shao Jun of the past. In the Tower of Reincarnation, he had learned some of the cunning and hypocrisy of mortals. Although he didn't offer any words of comfort to the Heavenly Emperor, he did express his concern for the Heavenly Emperor in front of Xuan Xi Tian Jun, which earned him a gentler expression from Xuan Xi Tian Jun.

Therefore, when the Holy Mother of Clouds entrusted her with the task of asking the Phoenix what it wanted to do, she had no choice but to come, along with her lover.

Xuanxi Tianjun sat silently in front of Yingzhao.

Yingzhao was furious and turned against the Heavenly Emperor, plunging the Three Realms into turmoil.

The Celestial Court has stood for countless ages, and Yingzhao is a very special existence.

It is the guardian of the Three Realms, a powerful being who is tacitly recognized as comparable to the Heavenly Emperor.

The conflict between the two powerful figures has unsettled the entire Three Realms.

Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor has truly lost face this time. Xuanxi Heavenly Lord did not know what the Heavenly Emperor had said that had angered the ancient demon so much, but he did know a little. The Heavenly Emperor's recent muttering of "Nan Chen harbors treacherous intentions" was probably the reason for Ying Zhao's anger.

He knew that Yingzhao and the Southern Immortal Emperor had a close relationship in the Three Realms back then, so he didn't say anything more. He protected Wangshu Shaojun and sat down in front of Yingzhao, and apologized in a low voice, "My master's wife asked me and Shushu to invite you here to apologize. She said that she never doubted it, but the Heavenly Emperor took responsibility and insisted on getting to the bottom of it."

Who would want to doubt a former friend?

However, the Heavenly Emperor is responsible for the Three Realms, so he will always have some doubts.

Of course, Xuanxi Tianjun disliked that Yunkong Shengmu still summoned Wangshu Shaojun to Haoyang Mountain after the Heavenly Emperor had been humiliated.

If Yingzhao doesn't give him face and slaps Wangshu Shaojun in the face again, whose fault is that?

Therefore, Xuanxi Tianjun came with his lover.

At least... I'll protect my Shushu no matter what, even if it means risking my life.

"That's why I said it was a misunderstanding."

A fluffy, chubby ball of fur rolled around on Yingzhao's head. The phoenix, so fat that its head was no longer visible, mumbled while holding a piece of immortal grass in its mouth, "The lower realm is so barren, even our master doesn't want it."

The wild, uncivilized little bumpkin who thought the Celestial Court was already quite luxurious suddenly felt that he had evolved into a little bumpkin of the Three Realms.

The fat phoenix is ​​now considered an elder of the Northern Divine Kingdom. Wang Shu Shaojun sensed Xuanxi Tianjun's silent silence and smiled and nodded at the phoenix, saying, "I also think that the senior's master is not such a petty person."

"Oh?" Phoenix tilted its head, widened its small bean-like eyes, and asked with a grin, "You've never even met my master, so why do you trust her so much?" Even that bastard Heavenly Emperor doesn't trust her.

"Although I have never witnessed the Immortal Emperor's splendor, I often think that she is a righteous and upright powerhouse, which is why she has the following of ten thousand immortals. Even after three hundred thousand years, the others still remember her fondly." Wang Shu Shaojun saw the phoenix so beautiful that it tried to raise its little head. Seeing it made him imagine the distant upper realm and what kind of splendor the Immortal Emperor must have been. He said softly, "Such a powerhouse would not use obscure and despicable means to rule the lower realm. She would only use a righteous and honorable method to truly declare her dominion over the three realms."

She sighed softly, but in her heart she was thinking that the Heavenly Emperor's magnanimity was probably not as great as that of this Southern Immortal Emperor.

She felt that at least this Celestial Emperor would not question his former companions.

Once trust is placed, it will never waver.

"Secretly opening a passage, I'm afraid it's just so that you can go down to the mortal realm to visit your friends, right?" Wang Shu Shaojun smiled, looking at the phoenix nodding its little head.

Yingzhao, who had been breathing heavily just moments before, remained silent for a long time, looking at Wangshu Shaojun with a gaze that seemed to be looking at him anew.

Xuanxi Tianjun lowered his eyes, but a proud radiance appeared on his face.

This is his lover.

Even in the face of ancient monsters, it still maintains its brilliance.

"Young Master is absolutely right." Liu Dao Xianjun wished he could prostrate himself under Yingzhao's oppressive aura, and at the same time, he tucked the emerald green snake into his arms, deeply worried that this god, whose temper had become less pleasant, would eat him up in one bite.
