The Anarchic Consort

Others did not know what was on Phoenix’s mind. They thought that this time, there must already be a conflict between the Emperor of Tian Dao and the Phoenix of Buddhism!

Therefore, in order to prevent them from meeting each other, Little Shami would lead the Emperor to another path every time they entered the Hall of Great Strength.

Actually, the people from Buddhism did not only mean to create the opportunity for the Emperor to meet Golden Lotus.

Even those from Buddhism would be stained with the ghoulish aura if they were to get involved with the clearance of the Sea of Blood.

So, needless to say, those from Tian Dao would need to recite and chant sutras for a few days after doing so.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor had agreed to cooperate, but every time he would come together with a black fog.

Those were the times when Buddhism was not at peace.

Phoenix did not have to slay anyone in the magical realm, so she just leaned against the Bodhi tree and looked at those black fog with one eyebrow raised. Then, she turned her head around and went back to sleep.

Little Monk was responsible for sending vegetarian food to Phoenix. Originally, he could get back to his sutra chanting every time after sending the food.

However, this time he saw that Golden Lotus was chanting sutras for the Emperor.

The Emperor looked like he was not listening to Golden Lotus at all. In fact, he was not looking at anyone. Standing there elegantly, he threw some lotus seeds upward with one hand.

The demons would then get closer to eat, making them look just like goldfish with watery eyes.

At that moment, Little Monk realized that it was pointless to perform sutra chanting for the Emperor to get rid of the ghoulish aura. The Emperor himself could already tame the demons just fine.

They were all being fed like goldfish, were there really such unsatisfied demons out there?

For a moment, Little Monk got interested in them. He then put down the bamboo box in his hand and supported his head with his small hands while watching them with relish.

That was what Phoenix saw when she was walking over while stroking her growling stomach.

She was only there to take the bamboo box at first.

But all of the Elder Buddhas who were chanting sutras had stopped after noticing her.

At the same time, Little Shami who was following the Emperor and Golden Lotus gasped in shock.

When the Emperor was done feeding, he turned around and saw her too.

There it went, everyone stood up immediately just to stop them from getting into a fight!

In the meantime, Phoenix was only looking at the food inside the bamboo box. She was quite satisfied with the food as she was not a picky person after all. So, she was about to leave after getting her food.

All of the Elder Buddhas disliked her presence while they were chanting sutras.

Which was why she had been chanting sutras alone all these while.

She did not plan to stay there any longer.

“Will they start fighting again?”

“Just look, with the Emperor’s personality, it’s impossible for him not to take revenge from Phoenix for the matter during the Buddhism feast last time.”

“I’ve heard that the Emperor’s revenge would normally be very harsh.”

“It’s not only harsh, but look at the people who had trod on his toes, be it God or Buddha. Which one of them had ended well?”

“Phoenix is not someone you want to mess with too. Nobody knows yet who is the last one standing.”

“It’s close, they’re getting closer!”

Both of them were really close to each other.

But it was a pity that there were no exciting battles of eye contact this time, and no one was getting into a fight.

However, the atmosphere was very cold.

Because none of them was planning to give way to the other.

All of a sudden, they seemed to be giving each other tit for tat.

Little Monk pulled at the corner of Phoenix’s robe while he chuckled awkwardly. He then looked up and said to Phoenix, “My lord, you walked to the right in order to greet the Emperor, right?”

Greet? Phoenix raised her good-looking eyebrow at once.

“Please, my lord, just agree on this, otherwise I will be punished,” said Little Monk softly.

Phoenix could not refuse the pleading of a child. So she set her gaze back to the Emperor and smiled slightly, “That’s right, I’m greeting.”

All the Gods and Buddhas were used to their awkward meetings or even their fights.

Greeting?

What situation is this?

Everyone’s eyes lit up and they could not help but stare at both of them for their following conversations.

The man was ignoring all of these, but his carefree eyes finally noticed something and his smile turned playful, “Oh? Since it’s a greeting, that means you have to say something to me. So what do you have to say?”

Say something? Phoenix was stunned temporarily as she did not plan to greet him at first… While thinking about this, she saw Golden Lotus who was behind the man and she asked instinctively, “Nothing much actually. But, are you here for a matchmaking feast again?”

All the Buddhas were startled… Matchmaking feast? Matchmaking?!

Little Monk lowered his head and sobbed. My lord, it would be better if you never spoke!

“Matchmaking feast?” The man was grinning while bending over, his voice so deep and soft that only she could hear, “With who? I will consider it if it’s with you. Because for some reasons, I would really love to destroy you.”

Phoenix looked up and smiled, “Seems like you’re interested in a fight?”

“About destroying, I mean it in another way…” With his bright eyes, the man’s gaze fell on her collarbone under her long robe. At that moment, there was a hint of evilness on his handsome face.

Phoenix furrowed her neat eyebrows, “Get away from me. I can’t fight in these two days, pick another date instead.”

“You’re under confinement again?” The man scoffed at her in an unusual way, “It’s really better to lock you up.”

Phoenix felt that he was way more talkative today, but she ended the conversation because she was starving. So she left by going around the Buddha’s gate.02.

The man looked mad but not at the same time. He was half-smiling but the stone steps where he was standing was broken.

All the demons trembled in fear when they saw that.

Golden lotus moved forward, looking gentle and beautiful, “Emperor, please don’t take Phoenix seriously. She has been like that all these while, intolerable but kind-hearted.”

The man remained silent, but his smile widened.

Since they had been with him for some time already, the demons knew the man better than anyone else.

Even though they were already getting goosebumps from his smile, they would never guessed correctly what he wanted to do.

When he left with an elegant pace, black fog was engulfing everything beyond the Trayastrimsa heaven.

The man then said with a very low voice, “Do you all think that she should be locked up?”

“She?” The demons thought the man was talking about Golden Lotus, “There’s no need for that. After you complete the marriage, Emperor, Golden Lotus will be all yours.”

The man stopped at his pace as he was confused, “Golden Lotus?”

“Yes.” The demons were acting like tamed goldfish again.

However, the man threw them a bomb at that time, “I’m not talking about her. I’ve always wanted the best… The Supreme Messenger, Great Lord Phoenix!”

“Phoe, Phoe, Phoenix? Cough cough cough!” The demons were choked by lotus seeds, “Emperor, this, this probably wouldn’t work.”

The man reached out his hand to grab one of the demons closer, “Do I still need your permission to get someone? Anyway, I’m not interested in marriage. I’m just wondering how she will look like if she was locked up. The scene surely will be very pleasing.”

All the demons thought at once that the Emperor must have gone insane.

The next thought was that whatever this man wanted to do, he had never failed any of them…
