Chapter 157
Beitian Imperial Palace.
The maid looked at the Phoenix princess who was hiding in the corner and looked a little wretched. For a moment, she didn't know whether to remind her or not, as this was impolite.
But thinking about the maidservant sister who was burned to charcoal...
The maid remained silent.
But while remaining silent on the surface, there are many more things going on in one's mind.
The maid really didn't know why this Phoenix princess was hanging on to their Crown Prince and wouldn't come down.
The eldest daughter of the Phoenix tribe leader? What a noble identity! With this identity alone, she can have as many handsome men as she wants, and it would be easy for her to find a suitable match.
but……
Why did you fall for their Crown Prince?
To put it nicely, the Crown Prince's character before he came to the mortal world to experience trials and tribulations was that he was devoted to the Tao, but to put it bluntly, he was arrogant.
At that time, the Phoenix princess was treated coldly every day, which made even the maids feel a little sorry for her.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince showed a little more humanity after his return this time, it was only a little bit!
Most of them went to that earthly immortal. Although that earthly immortal ignored them, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never got tired of it.
If it was a maid, she would have given up after a few days of pursuit, but this Phoenix princess persisted. This persistence made many people around the maid sigh that although the heaven gave the Phoenix princess a noble status, it also took back her brain.
Feng Yan didn't know that the maid behind her was lamenting her brain, otherwise the Phoenix True Fire would probably appear again.
She was staring at the couple in front of her with a distorted expression.
Mu Yuze was as handsome as ever. Although he had been bedridden for several days after being struck by thunder, his face even looked a little paler after his recovery.
Now it looks more like a jade sculpture.
And Liu Fengchang standing aside was not at a disadvantage either.
Although she is not as pretty as Mu Yuze, her gentle and tolerant temperament makes the picture look more harmonious.
——It also made Feng Yan even more angry.
But Feng Yan did not rush forward as usual, she even avoided Mu Yuze's gaze.
This is not because Feng Yan has made up her mind to give up Mu Yuze. On the contrary, when she saw the scene in front of her, she wanted to burn Liu Fengchang to death.
but……
Recalling what he had just learned, that his uncle and aunt were about to return, Feng Yan looked at the road that must be taken to return to the main hall of Emperor Beitian. He forcibly held down his hand as he was about to take action, and looked at Liu Fengchang with a sinister look as he confidently asked Mu Yuze to water the plants.
Just wait a little longer and my uncle and aunt will see how arrogant Liu Feng is!
Feng Yan looked at the scene in front of her with gritted teeth. When she saw two small black dots suddenly appear in the distance, her eyes lit up instantly.
She watched the two small black dots getting closer and closer, and gradually turned into the appearance of Mu Zheng and Qiao Yan.
She did not notice the numbness on the couple's faces. She was just excited that they were finally going to see how Liu Fengchang would behave when he allowed his brother Yu Ze to water the plants.
It’s finally here! It’s getting closer and closer, finally!
"Your Highness, the plants over there are also short of water."
Liu Fengchang spoke at such a good time that Feng Yan almost couldn't help but scream out.
Mu Zheng and Qiao Yan just happened to hear these words, and came face to face with Liu Fengchang, who was causing Mu Zheng to carry a bucket and water the plants like an ordinary person.
At this time, Mu Zheng had not put down the bucket in his hand yet, and the sound of Liu Fengchang instructing Mu Zheng to water the plants had just fallen.
Feng Yan's face was full of smiles, his whole face showing what it meant to be beaming with joy.
She looked at Liu Fengchang's stiff expression and Mu Yuze's anxious look in putting down the bucket, and she felt happy in her heart.
but……
What happened next was beyond her expectations.
Mu Yuze really didn’t expect that his father and mother would appear here. Don’t they have important things to do?
That's why he brought Yue'er here to enjoy some normal time.
——And improve the relationship at the same time.
And judging from the fact that Yue'er was willing to order him to do work, Yue'er was finally willing to get closer to him.
Can……
Mu Yuze looked at Liu Fengchang who was standing stiffly in place with heartache. He immediately put down the bucket in his hand, stood in front of Liu Fengchang, facing his parents.
He raised his head and was about to say that he was the one who forced Yue'er to come here, but the expressions on his parents' faces made Mu Yuze stop what he was about to say.
When had he ever seen his parents with such complicated expressions?
There was helplessness and resignation on his face, but there was no sign of the anger he showed when he was with Yue'er.
This made Mu Yuze stunned.
Just as he was stunned, his father looked at the two people in front of him with complicated eyes, coughed, and said.
"Remember to play in the garden of your Yuhua Palace after you play. If you think it's too small, just expand it. That piece of land - Xiao Liu, right? Uncle will give the garden there to you. It's where you two will live in the future anyway, so you two can take care of it yourselves."
Mu Zheng said these words with a complicated expression and then closed his mouth, as if the words just now had drained all the energy from him.
Qiao Yan also looked at Liu Fengchang for a long time with a complicated expression before saying: "——The demons may be trying to break through the Kunlun Mountains recently. We may have to wait until the war is over before we get married. I hope Xiao Liu doesn't mind."
After saying this, Qiao Yan seemed to realize that her expression was a little too ugly, and she forced a smile to Liu Fengchang who was already frozen opposite her.
Both of them looked very unhappy, as if someone had forced them to say these words. However, given their status and position, how could anyone have forced them?
Mu Yuze also believed this truth. No matter how ugly his parents' faces were, he couldn't suppress the surprise on his face after he realized what was going on.
"Father and Mother! Have you...accepted Yue'er and me?"
Seeing Mu Zheng and Qiao Yan looking at each other, then sighing helplessly and nodding, Mu Yuze was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, he almost couldn't maintain his cold appearance, and jumped up with joy like a young boy.
Fortunately, he knew not to get carried away, so he just gave his father and mother a restrained hug each, then turned around and took Liu Fengchang's hand, with a tender and affectionate look on his face.
Mu Zheng and Qiao Yan looked at their son's happy expression and Liu Fengchang's complicated expressions, but in the end they turned around and left without saying anything.
Only Liu Fengchang, who looked confused, and Mu Yuze, who looked excited and happy that his parents finally accepted them, were left at the scene.
——And Feng Yan who still hasn’t reacted.
It took Feng Yan a long time to react to what had just happened, but she still couldn't believe it.
She watched Mu Yuze lead the wandering soul of Liu Fengchang away until both of them disappeared from his sight before she spoke.
"What just happened?"
Feng Yan's voice was trembling and helpless, but the maid behind her was keenly aware of what was about to happen, and the thought of saving her life instantly took over.
Feng Yan didn't care that the maid behind her didn't say anything, she continued speaking as if crazy.
"I must have heard it wrong. How is it possible? How could my uncle and aunt agree to let Brother Yuze marry a terrestrial immortal? Hahahahaha, I must have heard it wrong. This must be wrong. This must be a dream. Otherwise, such an absurd thing cannot happen - No! Impossible!"
Feng Yan gritted his teeth as he uttered the last three words, then turned around and opened his mouth, intending to spit out the Phoenix True Fire to burn a few maids to vent his anger.
However……
Feng Yan turned around and didn't even see the shadow of a maid behind him.
Her Phoenix True Fire was already at her lips, and she was stunned...
"Someone help! The princess has been burned by her own Phoenix Fire!"
*
Mu Zheng and Qiao Yan had no idea what happened after they left.
They don't want to know either.
In fact, they were able to hold out until the palace drove everyone out, and they put up several layers of barriers before sitting down and quietly collapsing. This showed their amazing willpower.
Not everyone can control themselves after such a huge blow.
Mu Zheng and Qiao Yang felt that they had experienced great ups and downs in just a few hours today.
And it's like sliding directly from the top of Mount Everest into the Mariana Trench.
How happy they were when they learned that their son had chosen the wrong person to experience the trials of the mortal world, and not a lowly earthly immortal.
——How devastated she was when she found out that the real target was her son’s half-brother.
Oh, and these two have two children.
When Mu Zheng and Qiao Yan thought of Mu Xingji's identity, gender and age, they felt a headache.
When they first heard the news, they stared at the name for a full two incense sticks of time.
Fortunately, they had previously warned other people not to come in, otherwise they would have to kill a lot of people today.
After going out, the Immortal Lord Sima Ming skillfully made the Heavenly Oath and promised that he would never investigate Mu Yuze's experience of tribulations in the mortal world.
Mu Zheng looked at the skillful movements of Lord Siming and immediately understood why he had been able to hold the position of Lord Siming for so long.
——Hundreds of years ago, the position of Sima Ming Xianjun was actually a consumable.
On the way back on the spirit boat, Mu Zheng and Qiao Yan were still at a loss, their minds filled with the thought that Bai Yue was actually Mu Xingji.
It was not until they saw Mu Yuze and Liu Fengchang that they finally felt something was real.
In fact, when Mu Zheng saw Captain Liu Feng commanding their son, he wanted to get angry.
But when he wanted to curse, the words "Muxing Ji is Bai Yue" popped up.
So in the end he didn't say a single bad word, on the contrary he agreed to his son's marriage with the immortal.
no way.
"...Yan'er, my daughter-in-law is a terrestrial immortal, which should be better than her being his brother."
Mu Zheng sat on a chair in the barrier, staring at the ceiling with an expressionless face.
Qiao Yan and Mu Zheng on the side gave up controlling their facial expressions and also stared at the ceiling.
"Brother Zheng is right... Earthly Immortals are actually pretty good."
Qiao Yan said in a vague tone.
"She's a woman, alive, and a normal immortal. She even has a golden glow of merit. Even if her cultivation is a little low, it's not a problem. She can completely use immortal stones to pile it up."
It is always better to cultivate to become an earthly immortal than to become a golden immortal.
It is also better than a Daluo Jinxian who can cross levels and kill a demon-level monster alone.
It is even better than a Daluo Jinxian who can single-handedly kill a demon-level monster and is also the half-brother of his own son.
"...Let's schedule the wedding after the Demon Tribe War is over. At that time, let that Earth Immortal help us find a good family to recognize our relatives. Although everyone knows what happened, it will be fine on the surface."
Mu Zheng said as he thought about it, and light gradually appeared in his eyes.
"It's possible, but..."
Although Qiao Yan nodded in agreement with Mu Zheng, they still couldn't solve the most critical problem.
"What about Xingji's child?"
*
After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent.
They couldn't understand why Jupiter Ji threw thunder at Mu Yuze.
But now, they finally understood why Juxing Ji was so angry and wanted to kill his own son.
Mu Zheng couldn't help but put himself in the situation.
If his blood-related mortal enemy came down to earth to experience hardships, lost his memory, turned into a woman, and gave birth to two children, he would probably want to kill the other person after he recovered his memory.
And if the person on the other side is Mu Wu...
No, not only would he kill him, he would also destroy his reputation! Cut him into pieces!
An astonishing murderous aura suddenly burst out from Mu Zheng, but then it subsided.
However, although he understood, Mu Yuze was his son after all. Although it was not obvious from the way he treated him, Mu Zheng believed that he still had some fatherly love for Mu Yuze.
They would definitely not be happy if Mu Yuze really died, so the question now is how to make Mu Xingji give up this idea.
Qiao Yan was also thinking about this.
Especially the connection between Liu Fengchang and Mu Xingji, which had been bothering her before, but now she suddenly understood.
——Liu Fengchang was the one brought here by Muxingji to take the blame!
And Liu Fengchang probably guessed the truth of the matter, so he has been making such a fuss.
Her purpose was to destroy the image of Bai Yue in her son's mind so that the two of them would go their separate ways and this matter would never be exposed.
Thinking of this, Mu Zheng and Qiao Yan shed tears of regret for their past actions of stopping Liu Fengchang.
If they had known this at the beginning, they would have promised to cooperate and everything would be fine as long as their son was no longer thinking about Bai Yue.
But now…
Recalling that they had previously wanted Bai Yue to be a concubine, Mu Zheng and Qiao Yan felt a little suffocated and embarrassed.
Fortunately, this embarrassment soon passed, and they decided to discuss how to save their son's life from Muxing Ji.
"… Let's start with the wedding. Liu Fengchang is just a chess piece of Mu Xingji, and as long as this chess piece marries his son, his identity will never be exposed. The life cycle of earthly immortals is also short. As long as Liu Fengchang doesn't tell the truth, Yu Ze will never know the truth."
Qiao Yan said this seriously, and Mu Zheng also felt that this plan was feasible. With the Heavenly Oath, there was basically no need to worry about leaks.
"And once the two of them become Taoist couples, Liu Fengchang will occupy the identity of Bai Yue, and Mu Xingji probably won't come out to talk about this matter."
Mu Zheng said seriously.
"He never thought of telling this matter. Compared with asking for his son's name, Xingji wants this matter not to be discovered. So as long as the truth can be concealed for a lifetime, Xingji will not tell the truth to make things difficult for himself even if he is unwilling."
Qiao Yan said with light in her eyes.
"Xingji is a smart man. As long as he knows that Liu Fengchang will marry Mu Yuze, he will know that Bai Yue's identity has been taken. His secret will never be told to anyone in his life, so he will not ruin the wedding. Even if he wants to kill Yuze, we can just hint at it after Yuze gets married."
"But before that, we have to send Feng Yan away. If she doesn't stay here, the wedding won't be possible."
As Qiao Yan spoke, she sent a paper crane flying and quickly told someone to send Feng Yan back to the Phoenix Clan.
Mu Zheng nodded after hearing what Qiao Yan said, but he was still a little confused: "Why didn't you tell Yu Ze before he got married? There will be too many variables if you tell him after the marriage."
Qiao Yan said directly: "Brother Zheng, if we don't show some sincerity, what if Xingji fights with us to the death?"
Now Jupiter Ji must have been driven crazy by this scandal. Otherwise, how could such a perfect child before coming to the mortal world to experience the tribulation say that he wanted to kill someone in that tone?
Qiao Yan thought about it and said, "Besides, Liu Feng is here. They must have some way to get in touch. Let's relax the surveillance on that earthly immortal recently. Xingji is so smart that he must know that we all want to cover this up."
Although Mu Zheng didn't know what Qiao Yan was thinking, it didn't stop him from agreeing with what Qiao Yan said.
But Mu Zheng was nodding halfway when he suddenly remembered something, and the relaxed expression on his face stiffened again.
"Yan'er..."
"What happened to Brother Zheng?"
Hearing Mu Zheng's hesitant words, Qiao Yan, who had relaxed and leaned against Mu Zheng, looked up at him in confusion.
Mu Zheng, however, opened his eyes wide, and his face looked a little scary with his back to the light. With such a stiff face, he looked down at Qiao Yan beside him and said.
"Do you remember that a month ago, Yuze chased Muxingji everywhere, making Muxingji so angry that he almost blew up our son?"
When Qiao Yan heard this, she suddenly felt her whole body stiff, and even a little inexplicably panicked.
She hadn't had this feeling since she became the Emperor of Beitian, but now it appeared again.
Qiao Yan tried to pull the corners of her mouth and wanted to say something to relax, but she couldn't say it.
But Mu Zheng spoke with difficulty and hesitation.
"Could it be that Yuze has telepathy with the real 'Bai Yue'?"
When Qiao Yan heard this, she covered her face in pain and wailed like a mortal woman for the first time.
"Why is my life so miserable?"
Then the woman who was sitting firmly in the position of Queen Beitian raised her head, looked determined and spoke with gritted teeth.
"We can't wait until after the Demon Tribe War to get married. We can just let it go for the sake of face. The wedding must be a success within half a year!"
Compared to her own son who pursued his half-brother after knowing the truth - Qiao Yan believed that her foolish son could really do such a thing! - an ordinary earthly immortal was more acceptable.
So Mr. Lu Xun is right.
People are all compromisers.
You said that as the prince of the Northern Emperor you want to marry an earthly immortal, they will definitely not agree.
——But if you say that you and your half-brother (fake) have two children.
They will agree to let you marry the earth immortal.
*
However, Mu Yuze still doesn't know that his wedding with Yue'er has been brought forward. He is so happy that he is circling around Liu Fengchang like a dog.
"Yue'er Yue'er! Father and mother agreed to us. I'm so happy!"
When no one was around, Mu Yuze laughed from a stubborn donkey into a happy big dog.
However, Liu Fengchang maintained a dreamy expression.
Her mood was quite complicated now. In addition to the incredible emotion of "Ah?", she also felt disbelief that she had suddenly succeeded in getting promoted. She also questioned why they suddenly agreed and why she suddenly wanted to get married.
She even felt a vague feeling of secret joy in her heart, but there was another layer of emotion between them.
Liu Fengchang thought from "Is Mu Yuze going to die?" to "Is the Queen of Beitian impersonated by someone?" and then to "Young Master is so powerful that the Queen of Beitian even used magic."
In short, I just don’t believe that this matter is as simple as getting married.
Mu Yuze also noticed that something was wrong with Liu Fengchang, so he walked over and said worriedly.
"What's wrong with Yue'er? We are getting married, aren't you happy?"
And he was still staring at Liu Fengchang: "Who is getting married?"
"Us?"
"Me and who?"
"You're going to marry me?"
"What am I doing with you?"
"Getting married?"
"Who's getting married?"
After repeating this meaningless conversation several times, Mu Yuze realized that Yue'er was probably so happy that she was silly, so he let her go without asking any further questions.
When Liu Fengchang finally came to his senses, he saw Mu Yuze asking the maid to tell him his size, and he looked very serious.
"Yue'er, take a look at how to choose your wedding dress. Mother just sent a message saying that our wedding date will be moved up. We have to get married before the demons attack. There is less than a month left, so we have to choose quickly!"
Mu Yuze said with a smile.
Liu Fengchang was even more confused. Didn't they just say half a year later? How come it has become within a month now?
Shouldn't the preparation time for a wedding ceremony in the fairy world be at least several years?
Liu Fengchang used up all her strength to resist the urge to say on the spot that she would not get married, but she still drove Mu Yuze out quite stiffly.
"Your Highness, please leave me alone for a moment. There are too many good news for me to digest."
Liu Fengchang's weak tone made Mu Yuze feel pity. In the end, he did not force her to choose a wedding dress. Instead, he let her have a good rest and turned away.
Liu Fengchang waited for a long time after the people left before she regained some strength and opened the young master's sound transmission talisman. She no longer cared about what the young master said not to contact him.
If she doesn't contact the young master, she will collapse.
The moment the sound transmission talisman was connected, Liu Fengchang collapsed instantly and shouted.
"Young Master! Help!"
*
The young master on the opposite side was obviously stunned for a moment, and when Liu Fengchang broke down and told everything, the young master was also a little strange.
But soon he seemed to have figured something out. He was silent for a while before he said unwillingly, "I know why, but you'd better not delve into it. It's not good for you to know too much."
"Then my young master, do I just have to wait to get married?"
Liu Fengchang said somewhat unwillingly.
Liu Fengchang has already participated in the young master's plan. She is a deity with a high status in the mortal world. Although she has to work, she feels spiritually satisfied, and she also receives golden light of merit and her cultivation level increases.
She would be a fool to marry Mu Yuze with an identity that would kill her if it was exposed!
The young master opposite seemed to be looking at something. After a long while, he said to Liu Fengchang: "Don't worry, you can't get married for the time being."
Liu Fengchang thought that the young master was talking about some lofty strategy, but...
"As long as Feng Yan is alive, you can't get married. Just wait for her to recover and come over to sort out the mess in the evening."
For the first time, Liu Fengchang felt that the world had gone crazy: "..."
"ah?"
