During this time, Su Xun went to Penglai Immortal Island and found a Vermilion Fruit for Su Qing.
If you eat it, you can save your life.
However, one's cultivation level will be greatly reduced.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, perhaps we should refrain from interfering in Protector Mu Ge's affairs," a guard beside Su Xun kindly advised.
"After all, Princess Su Qing is the biological daughter of the Phoenix King and the Phoenix Queen. Your Highness, you must not be confused. Offending the Phoenix King and the Phoenix Queen for the sake of Princess Mu Ge is truly..."
"Shut up."
"Your Highness." The guard raised his voice. For the sake of Princess Muge, who had already betrayed the Immortal Realm, offending the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen might affect his master's future succession to the throne.
"Get out of here. I need some peace and quiet."
"Yes, ma'am."
The moonlight shone on Su Xun's androgynous features, adding to his melancholy.
He spread his hands, examined the vermilion fruit in his hand, his eyes darkened, and he suddenly gripped it.
Red juice dripped onto the ground.
Su Xun didn't feel sorry about destroying the Vermilion Fruit that he had worked so hard to obtain.
Now, the Heart-Binding Gu can suppress Mu Ge.
If he cures Su Qing, Mu Ge will probably have no way out.
As he turned to leave the Phoenix Clan.
He never expected that his own bedchamber would be the target of such a trap.
"Father, Mother, what are you doing?"
The Wind King said with a stern face, "You unfilial son, it's a good thing it was your sister who reminded me. Now that you've returned and know that we've activated Li Muge's Heart Gu, you'll definitely go and inform that witch."
Su Xun tried to break the barrier with his spell, but the barrier rebounded his attack.
Empress Feng couldn't bear it: "Xun'er, don't worry, we won't take Li Muge's life, just a few drops of her heart's blood will suffice."
"Mother, you're so foolish!" Su Xun cried, tears streaming down his face. "Mother, have you forgotten how we treated her back then?"
"A few drops of heart's blood, you speak of it so easily. It's all the power of cultivation. Why can you say the words 'taking heart's blood' so casually?"
"How dare you, Su Xun! Have you been bewitched by Li Muge to the point of being unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
"How can I entrust the Phoenix Clan to you with this attitude?" the Phoenix King rebuked.
"Heh." Su Xun sneered: "Father and Mother, I'm afraid only Su Qing is truly in your hearts. We are not your biological children. If we threaten your interests, I'm afraid you would abandon anything."
“You keep saying that Li Muge is a witch, but who among you remembers what Muge was like before, and who forced her to become like this?”
“If being king means acting like you, Father, then I would rather return to my own clan,” Su Xun said coldly.
Everyone says that Su Xun got a great deal by being adopted by the Phoenix King, but no one has ever asked whether he wanted this incredible honor.
Even his parents didn't ask for his opinion.
From then on, he could only live within the framework of being the heir of the Phoenix Clan.
Even if they are your biological parents, you can only call them uncles and aunts.
Su Xun likes Li Muge.
I like Li Muge's free-spirited nature, unconventional personality, kindness, and somewhat childlike nature.
Unfortunately, in the end he still couldn't protect him.
He failed to protect Li Muge when she was forced into the Demon Realm, so he will definitely protect her now.
After Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen left.
With a determined look in his heart, Su Xun raised his hand and flicked his sleeve, his movements swift and precise, and a pure gold bow and arrow appeared in his hand.
His narrow fox-like eyes narrowed slightly as he gathered all his spiritual power and broke through the barrier.
It transformed into a five-colored phoenix and flew away from its clan.
___
Li Muge had been experiencing a persistent chest pain, and she didn't know why. She consulted the Demon Doctor, but they couldn't find anything wrong. Strangely, whenever Yun Qi got close, she felt pain.
She felt the pain in her heart was getting better.
Li Muge's face turned deathly pale, her eyes sharp, and she suddenly grabbed Yun Qi by the neck: "Speak, Yun Qi, did you do something to this protector?"
"Speak quickly, or this protector will make sure you die a very serious death this time."
"Wife, what are you saying? I don't know." Yun Qi didn't know anything. The only thing he remembered was that the woman in front of him was his wife.
His mother had told him that if he wanted to be a real man, he had to be good to his wife.
But this daughter-in-law is a bit fierce.
Yun Qi, whose intelligence was only five years old at the time, also had some doubts about why he had chosen such a fierce wife.
He clearly prefers women like his mother, gentle and capable of cooking delicious meals for him; those women would be better as wives.
Li Muge was heartbroken. She didn't care anymore. She wanted to strangle Yun Qi first and see if he would come back to life.
If the corpse came back to life, she would chop it up.
“Guardian, what are you doing? Sister Peony is speaking; you can’t murder your own husband.”
Little Peony was carrying a basin of water, intending to wash the Dharma Protector's face, but she didn't expect to see this scene.
She hurriedly tried to pry Li Muge's hand away.
Li Muge's forehead veins throbbed. To hell with Peony! This girl is like a mantra, always talking about Peony, Sister Peony.
Don't let her see this peony, or she'll definitely kill it.
"Guardian, let go quickly! The Demon Lord is about to die!" Little Peony said anxiously.
The deranged Demon Lord was like a child, letting the Dharma Protector kill him just like that, and Little Peony still couldn't bear it.
But that's not the most important thing.
The most important thing is...
Now the Dharma Protector has almost become a source of male dread.
If the Demon Lord dies, wouldn't her protector's reputation become even worse?
Although, her family's protectors didn't care.
But Xiao Shaoyao felt that as the closest person to the Dharma Protector, she must make a good plan for him.
Not long after their marriage, her husband first went mad and then died. What a huge impact this had on her as a protector of the Dharma!
But no matter what she said, Li Muge refused to let go and insisted on killing Yun Qi.
Little Peony was at her wit's end.
“Guardian, how can you lay a hand on a child? The Demon Lord is just a baby right now.”
Li Muge's hand, which was gripping Yun Qi's neck, froze.
She raised an eyebrow, looked at Xiao Shaoyao in disbelief, and then at Yun Qi.
There are babies this big.
"Fine." Li Muge released his hand: "Considering you've become stupid, this protector will let it go."
"Phew." Little Peony breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Qi covered his neck and squatted to one side. Li Muge told him to hold his head and not to cry.
Occasionally, she would glance at Li Muge with a pitiful look, like a wounded little animal.
Li Muge was genuinely a little guilty.
It's her fault; she acted impulsively. Yun Qi is indeed a baby right now.
Just then, several guards rushed into the hall.
"Reporting to the Demon Queen, a golden phoenix has barged into our Demon Realm without warning. We couldn't stop it, and it even injured several of our Demon Realm soldiers."
“A golden phoenix, could it be Third Brother? Why would he come here?” Li Muge sat on the bed, her lips bloodless and wearing only a white undergarment.
