Chapter 265 The Martial World (Thirteen)
"What would I do with the opportunity? I just want to learn skills from His Majesty the Vermilion Bird. I'm not after His Majesty the Vermilion Bird's body. His Majesty Lingjun is so fierce. I'm not looking for death."
She does have self-awareness.
Zhang Ling'er suddenly felt pain in her ankle again and squatted down in discomfort.
"You don't need to say this to me anymore. It's useless if you say it to me a thousand times. It's all in vain if His Majesty Lingjun doesn't believe you. Go back. The Heavenly Realm has been quite turbulent lately. You can stay on the island in peace."
Shen Feng stood there without bending down to help the girl, slowly straightening the corners of his sleeves that had been ruffled by the wind.
Although the two emperors did not give any instructions, these old ministers had long been prepared to accompany their emperors at any time to reclaim this celestial realm.
"Island Lord, where do you think His Majesty will go?" Zhang Ling'er raised her hand and grabbed the hem of Shen Feng's clothes as he was about to leave.
"He must have gone to the Phoenix Clan. His Majesty has taken over the Vermilion Bird Palace. His Majesty Lingjun must have returned to the Phoenix Clan with His Majesty the Vermilion Bird. Hey, where are you going?"
After thinking about it, Shen Feng concluded that His Majesty the Vermilion Bird should indeed reside in the Phoenix Clan now.
However, when he looked up, he saw that the little girl in red, who had just been as listless as a chili pepper, was suddenly full of energy and was hopping and skipping away on a cloud.
"Naturally, I'm going to find His Majesty the Vermilion Bird." Zhang Ling'er sat on the cloud, very happy.
"What are you going to do to them? They're a loving couple now. Wouldn't you be in their way if you went?" Upon hearing this, Shen Feng immediately jumped up, trying to grab the young girl.
"I just want to learn some skills, it won't bother either of Your Majesties." So what if it bothers His Majesty Lingjun? She just wants to bother him.
"Get down here right now! I can't teach you any skills on this island. Why would you need to go elsewhere to learn? Get down here now, or you'll be beaten to death by the two emperors. Your father and I don't have the ability to collect your body."
That brat, she's even standing on a cloud throwing spells at him, she's really gotten quite capable.
"Oh, Uncle Shen, don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll come back once I've learned the skills."
Zhang Ling'er left without even riding on a cloud.
Shen Feng was so angry that he jumped up and down.
This brat isn't as cute as she was when she was little.
How is he going to explain this to Lao Zhang?
Zhang Ling'er rode the clouds all the way, and it was good luck that she took three hours to fly to the Phoenix Clan's territory. She didn't encounter anyone else along the way.
However, Zhang Ling'er felt a bit of a headache looking at the group of guards standing by the Phoenix Clan's territory.
"I really am here to see His Majesty the Vermilion Bird. Please let me in, or at least let me know."
There was a barrier outside the clan's territory, so she couldn't get in and could only wait at the entrance with this group of people.
However, the group ignored him, keeping a straight face, not speaking or moving, and not even looking at her.
However, the moment she stepped onto the tribe's territory, the group's eyes glared at her like luminous pearls, startling her so much that she slipped and fell to the ground, doing a split in front of them.
After she finished chopping, she was embarrassed and in pain, wanting to hold her crotch but feeling it was not elegant, especially in front of a group of grown men. It was just... incredibly painful.
Inside the main hall of the clan's territory, Lu Lingjun and Gu Yanjing had just finished having a late-night snack.
Shao* slept all afternoon, but now he's in good spirits, eating grapes and looking at the stars.
A maid brought in a plate of fruit and said something to Lu Lingjun in the process.
Lu Lingjun brought over a basin and peeled fruit for Gu Yanjing while relaying what the maid had just said.
"The little girl has caught up with us; she's outside."
"Which one?" Gu Yanjing didn't immediately realize who it was.
"The one who said he wanted to take us both back as male concubines today." Lu Lingjun's hands were so juicy that the fruit slipped onto the table.
Qing pretended nothing had happened and threw the fruit directly into the flower bushes to the side.
Hmm, good, it's out of sight now.
"When did you learn to bury your head in the sand like this?" Gu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Lu Lingjun acted as if he hadn't heard a word and completely ignored the conversation: "That little girl wants to be your apprentice. Do you want her? She's quite similar to you."
"Am I that stupid?" Gu Yan's focus was always off-topic.
“What about that? Where did I say that? Aren’t we talking about my disciple?” Lu Lingjun said helplessly.
"Heh, what use is a disciple? They're just as stupid as Nan Wan'er. Two of them are already enough to give me a headache. Would I be too idle to have another one?" Gu Yan shook his head and refused outright.
Life needs idiots to add some fun, but there can't be too many of them. Too many idiots and it's no longer fun, it's just annoying.
"Alright, I'll go and get rid of him for you." Upon hearing this, Lu Lingjun washed his hands, got up, and prepared to go and send the little girl away.
"Let's go together." After Gu Yanjing finished eating the fruit that Lu Lingjun had peeled, she washed her hands and then pulled Lu Lingjun's robe to wipe them.
Lu Lingjun indulged him, pulling on the corner of his sleeve and carefully wiping his fingers clean.
"I'll go, what are you going there for, to look at the little girl?"
"Why are you so jealous? There's no reason at all." Gu Yan couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her hand back.
"How can this be called being jealous? I was just asking casually." Lu Lingjun stubbornly refused to admit his little thoughts.
"Heh." Gu Yanjing sneered and remained silent.
He was recently shocked by the two extremely ugly maids that Lu Lingjun had specially arranged for him.
It is said that celestial beings in the heavenly realm have a chance to reshape their appearance when they become immortals, so there shouldn't be anyone in the heavenly realm who is this ugly.
I wonder which hidden corner Lu Lingjun found these two exceptionally talented individuals.
When the two met Zhang Ling'er, the girl was squatting by the edge of the clan's territory, roasting a seabird. Whether it was intentional or not, it smelled especially good, and the aroma wafted directly towards the guards, making them so hungry that they almost couldn't resist and beat her up.
Do they eat birds among their bird tribe?
This is a first in a thousand years. This girl is truly talented, on par with Lu Lingjun.
Gu Yan was so amazed by the scene that he almost couldn't help but slap the table in admiration.
"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death for doing this?"
Gu Yanjing squatted by the fire, looking at the golden-brown roasted bird, and suddenly remembered what Lu Lingjun had just said about taking on apprentices.
Actually, this is something he could discuss.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you've come out. Did you come to see me?" Zhang Ling'er almost dropped the seabird into the fire when she heard the familiar voice.
The girl raised her hand instantly; although she was disheveled, her eyes were bright and sparkling.
Sometimes Gu Yanjing had to admit that status was a good thing.
When this girl first met me, she was arrogant and acted like she was the best in the world, but now she's like a little white rabbit.
"It wasn't all about seeing you." Gu Yan stared at the seabird that had almost fallen into the fire pit, not finishing his sentence.
"Then His Majesty is here to see me too, Ling'er is so happy! Your Majesty, do you need a foot-washing maid? I can be Your Majesty's foot-washing maid. If Your Majesty has time, just teach me the skills." Zhang Ling'er's eyes lit up even more instantly, and she was so excited that she almost slurred her words.
"A foot-washing girl?" Gu Yan was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Lingjun suddenly picked him up from behind.
The posture was somewhat unseemly.
Gu Yan's face turned dark with shock.
Lu Lingjun, however, carried him a little further away before putting him down: "Your Majesty has me to wash your feet, there's no need for a foot-washing maid."
“Your Majesty, you can’t be so stingy. In the folk tales, only a vixen would do something like this, clinging to His Majesty like this.” Zhang Ling’er’s seabird was almost burnt, but the little girl didn’t notice at all and was busy reasoning with Lu Lingjun.
"Give me your bird." Lu Lingjun stared at the bird in Zhang Ling'er's hand.
"Huh?" Zhang Ling'er was stunned and didn't react.
"Give me the bird." Lu Lingjun turned around and glanced at Gu Yanjing, whose expression was not good.
Tsk, I need to get something to appease His Majesty.
"No, I just ate a bird on the edge of your territory. No, I didn't even get a single bite. You birds can't be so stingy, I'm telling you."
Zhang Ling'er took a step back unhappily, holding the bird she had roasted. "So stingy!" she thought.
However, after saying that, she realized that His Majesty the Vermilion Bird was also a bird, and immediately explained to Gu Yanjing with a serious expression, "Your Majesty the Vermilion Bird, I didn't bring you with me, really, I..."
It seems the more I explain, the worse it gets.
It's too difficult.
"What are you thinking? I'm giving this to His Majesty to eat. Who cares about a bird like you?" Lu Lingjun was too lazy to waste words with her and reached out to take the seabird.
“Come on, Zhuque, try it and see if it’s good. If it is, take it back and make a…” Lu Lingjun paused.
Without thinking, Zhang Ling'er replied, "A foot-washing girl?"
Gu Yanjing didn't say anything, but first took a bite of the seagull. The taste was really good, delicious.
Shao couldn't resist and took another bite before speaking.
"Apprentice, perhaps."
As long as he can cook, that's fine. Although he's not very good at fighting, it doesn't matter if he can't fight or not, as long as he's protecting him.
"Disciple? Really? Your Majesty, I must have misheard. Is he a nominal disciple or a direct disciple?" Zhang Ling'er looked at Gu Yanjing, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed three times.
Regardless of what kind of apprentice he is, he should kowtow first and establish his status before discussing anything else.
Anyway, I won't lose money.
"A disciple under formal authorization." Lu Lingjun glanced at the little girl, covered Gu Yanjing's mouth, and made the decision for him.
"Alright." Zhang Ling'er nodded three times: "Disciple greets Master's Wife."
It's not a loss, it's a profit!
He gained the Vermilion Bird Emperor as his master and the Phoenix Emperor Lingjun as his mistress.
Then there's Gu Tiandi, who's about to make a comeback.
With her background, it would be a disservice to the powerful figures behind her if she didn't roam freely in the Heavenly Realm.
That's brilliant.
Lu Lingjun's lips twitched, but in the end he didn't correct the statement.
Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway, as long as the backup is correct.
The guards watching the conversation wanted to correct them, but they couldn't; as long as their emperor was happy, that was all that mattered.
"Get off me, your hands are covered in oil, you're smearing it on my face." Gu Yanjing slapped Lu Lingjun's hand away, lost all interest in eating, threw the bird in his hand to Lu Lingjun, and turned back.
"Master, Master, please wait for your disciple!" Zhang Ling'er scrambled after him, and as she entered the clan's territory, she made a face at the guards before striding in with her head held high.
Gu Yanjing didn't reply, finding her chattering a bit too noisy.
Then, as if she had suddenly unlocked her full potential, Zhang Ling'er said, "Master, what else do you want to eat? I'll cook for you. I'm a super good cook, much better than my cultivation. Really, I'm not lying to you. I'd be a dog if I lied."
Gu Yanjing still didn't reply. Lu Lingjun had already caught up with them and led Gu Yanjing away, disappearing without a trace. Zhang Ling'er was left standing there alone, cursing Lu Lingjun angrily.
That stingy bird.
She didn't know the way, and after staying in one place for a short while, a maid who was extremely ugly came and took her away, saying that it was Emperor Lingjun's order to take her to rest.
Although Zhang Ling'er was frightened by the maid, she didn't think much of it when she heard that it was Lu Lingjun's order, and followed her.
On the other side, Gu Yanjing was taken back by Lu Lingjun and immediately thrown onto the bed.
Gu Yan was baffled. Where was this guy getting jealous again? He was being so wild today that Gu Yan was finding it hard to handle.
Everything was finally over, and Gu Yanjing lay on the bed, unwilling to move.
Lu Lingjun took an outer garment, wrapped Gu Yanjing in it, and picked her up: "Shall we take a bath?"
Gu Yanjing closed his eyes, too tired to move, and gave a casual reply, his heaving chest showing a lot of unease.
That's true, it just ended, how can we calm down now?
However, Gu Yan was surprised to find that this guy had found a blanket somewhere and spread it on the edge of the bathtub, and then placed him on the edge of the bathtub as well.
Lu Lingjun jumped down and grasped Gu Yanjing's feet, which were soaking in the water.
"Your Majesty, I will wash your feet."
Qing held his feet, her eyes filled with ill intent.
Gu Yanjing, still dazed, regained full consciousness and kicked out, but the movement was too forceful, almost twisting his already precarious back.
He could even feel it flowing out.
There are too many.
"Damn it." This guy actually still remembers about the girl who washed feet.
No wonder today...
"Jiaojiao, you'd better take it easy, don't hurt yourself." Lu Lingjun caught Gu Yanjing's kick and scratched the sole of her foot with his fingertips.
Gu Yanjing couldn't take it anymore. His heart was ablaze, burning so intensely that he couldn't bear it and kicked his legs in discomfort.
"Jiaojiao, don't you like it?" Lu Lingjun took advantage of the situation and kissed her slender white legs.
There are still many traces on it, traces he left behind.
Gu Yan was shocked to find that he was still in his youthful form during his tribulation, and even after so many years, he hadn't changed much.
Now that the rain has just stopped, she exudes an alluring scent.
"If you don't like it, let go." Gu Yan glared at him, her eyes shimmering with a captivating beauty.
Lu Lingjun couldn't resist and pulled the person into the water.
Just like before.
He was the one who first stood in the abyss; he couldn't resist and tempted the young woman he cherished most.
"Jiaojiao, do you like it this way?"
