"Xin'er, I know you married me to save Liu Lieyu's life. I forced you like that back then..." You's dark hair hung in my hand, cold and smooth. I looked up, and my petite face was reflected in You's eyes. I could feel You's deep affection and unease.
"You, don't dwell on these things."
I don't know what to say, I can only prove it with my actions in the future, and that you'll know my feelings when we meet again sometime.
"You Emperor, the Witch Immortal requests your presence."
Tell him I'll be there soon.
"Xin'er, I have to take care of some things first. I'll keep you company later." You let go of me, a forced smile on her face.
"You, I want to go with you." I tugged at You's sleeve, wanting to follow him around and find out where he usually goes and what he does, otherwise I wouldn't know where to look for him when I miss him.
"Xin'er, let's do it next time. This time it was all official business, and it was incredibly boring. How about I take you to the mortal realm to play next time?"
"All right."
Who is that witch? I wondered to myself as I watched the departing figure, noting that the story was becoming increasingly different from the original plot.
"Your Majesty, Luo Shen and Feng Su have arrived."
"Let them in."
Feng Su, my little pet and mount, is the last phoenix in the world. I saved his life ten thousand years ago, and he has been by my side ever since.
"Master! I'm back." I heard Feng Su's voice before I even saw him. A gust of wind blew past and a figure appeared in my arms.
Feng Su squatted on the ground, resting her head on my lap. "Master, I exceeded expectations this time, and I even made a new discovery." Feng Su looked like she wanted praise.
I touched Feng Su's head; the smooth hair felt wonderful to the touch.
Feng Su has golden hair and a golden mark on her forehead, which is said to be a unique symbol of their phoenix clan.
"Any new discoveries?"
"Master, when we were exorcising demons in the mortal realm, we discovered that there were many more evil spirits that suck people's life essence. After investigating, Luo Shen found that it was related to our celestial realm."
Could it be...? I had a vague idea in my mind, but it seemed unlikely. I looked questioningly at Luo Shen, who had been standing quietly to one side.
“Feng Su is right. After several investigations, I found that it is related to You Yuan.” Luo Shen paused and then continued, “I suspect that those monsters were sent by You Yuan to absorb people’s life essence for his own use.”
I gasped. What shocked me wasn't that the demon from the Youhui Sect descended to earth to drain people's life force—I already knew that—but rather why this event happened so far in advance. If I remember correctly, after this incident, You...you died.
No, absolutely not, I will never let You die.
"Do you know where the Witch Immortal is?" I asked anxiously. Luo had been handling all sorts of things for me in the Heavenly Court, and he was very familiar with the people and affairs of the Immortal Realm.
"I know, why is Emperor Xin looking for the Witch Immortal?"
“You is with him.”
"Okay, I'll take you there."
I hurriedly got up. As soon as Feng Su stepped out the door, she transformed into a giant phoenix, her whole body shimmering with golden light, her tail adorned with long, multicolored feathers, and her head held high.
"hurry up."
"Okay." Luo followed me and sat on the phoenix. After we were both seated, Feng Su let out a phoenix cry and flew into the clouds.
"Is Emperor Xin going to ask Emperor You?"
"Hmm." I didn't want to pay much attention to Luo Shen, but I really needed him at the moment. I hadn't even had time to find someone to share the power that Luo had, and then this happened.
My arrival completely disrupted the plot, and I have no idea what will happen next.
As expected of an ancient divine beast, the phoenix quickly arrived at the immortal witch's residence. If it weren't for the urgency, I would have loved to touch Feng Su's golden feathers and phoenix head.
