The Anarchic Consort-Novel2

Chapter 818: Come And Stay At My Place Tonight

“What should we do today?” The Emperor had always been doing things his own way, as if he was born like so. In other words, he was similar to the bamboo plants and plum trees, unique in his own way.

Others would definitely not understand what he meant by that.

However, Phoenix understood him and took out the old scroll that she had brought along. Staring at the sixth rule, she whispered, “According to the progress, we should hold hands already by today. But if we do so, will it be weird while we’re eating?”

Staring at Phoenix, the man said nothing but took action straight away. He reached out his hand for hers, then with slight strength, he held her hand with dominance.

Phoenix paused for a moment. She lowered her head and looked toward the man, “How am I supposed to eat like this?”

“I’ll feed you.” The man’s finger then pointed to the seventh rule on the old scroll, “Let’s do the seventh rule as well. Showing affection in public area, today is a good time for this.”

Phoenix agreed since everyone from Six Dao was invited to this heavenly feast, it was even more crowded than the Buddhism feast last time, which fitted the condition of the seventh rule very well.

Someone was really smart this time. At the thought of achieving two rules in one day, Phoenix felt a sense of accomplishment and willingly sat beside the emperor with a sheepish smile on her face.

However, this had indeed brought a huge impact to all the Gods and Buddhas!

“Is there any problem with my eyesight? I saw the Emperor holding Phoenix’s hand!”

“Most importantly, Phoenix looks so happy with it instead of cutting him with her scythe?!”

“Ha ha ha, there must be something wrong. There must be a problem with this!

“I can’t stand this anymore. I’ll go and pursue my beloved goddess now. Since the Emperor is already with Phoenix, it’s impossible that I can’t be with Chang E!” action

Chang E was speechless with this...

Looking at the ruckus below, Phoenix could finally understand the man’s meaning of pleasure. The happiness was true when seeing others in anxiety.

Although Golden Lotus was late in becoming a Buddha, due to the fact that she was born in front of the Buddha’s gate, she was assigned a front seat. So she was able to see everything they did. Her feminine face stiffened at first, then she smiled and said, “Lord Phoenix, why didn’t you inform us about this before? I was still planning to introduce the God of Tian Shan to you. I didn’t know you were already with the Emperor back then, this is so unexpected. I really don’t know what else to say.”

Phoenix looked up toward Golden Lotus after hearing her words. Her mouth was curved up into a smile and she looked slothful but the prayer beads on her wrist were emitting light. As if she could read the mind of others, she asked, “During these times, isn’t congratulating enough?”

“Of course!” Golden Lotus paused for a second and continued, “Of course I have to congratulate. This is such a surprise! Back then during the Buddhism feast, my lord even fought with the Emperor. But only after a few days, you are now getting along with the Emperor. If the Honored Sir knew about this, he will surely be happy for you.”

Upon hearing this, all the others from Six Dao started to discuss as well.

“That’s right. Only a few days ago, whenever the Emperor met Phoenix, they would either speak badly of each other or start to fight. How could they be so peaceful together today?”

The man crossed his leg onto another, his deep eyes resembling the starry night glanced across those below, “That day Phoenix did so for a reason.”

It was true that she did so for a reason. But he should be unaware of the reason...

Phoenix was confused.

She then heard the Gods and Buddhas below asked, “What’s the reason?”

“Jealousy.” The man said with a hint of happiness in his voice, “Actually Phoenix has been pursuing me for some time already. She dislikes me being in contact with other women, more so when someone was trying to introduce me to other women.”

All the Gods and Buddhas were not expecting this answer.

In fact, even Phoenix herself was not expecting this as the reason too!

She turned her head and looked at the man.

“Don’t worry, I won’t ever look at other women from now on.” The Emperor was very steady and he was so into his own acting.

Phoenix did not know what she should say, so she just remained silent.

However, the discussions around them became louder and louder.

“So they actually fought because of this? Which means that they were always fighting each other before this because Phoenix was jealous whenever the Emperor was meeting other women?”

“Most probably...”

The commotions had completely ruined Yue Lao’s mood to drink as he wished.

He then looked at both of them sitting at the very top and thought, What do you mean by most probably?

Both of them were born with the destiny of ‘only one between them could stay alive’, it’s impossible for them to get along.

Moreover, one of them was the Phoenix from Buddhism.

It is impossible for Phoenix to fall in love. Otherwise, the people from Buddhism would not let her stay there either.

She is the only one to become a Buddha with slaughter.

Buddhism is still in need of this blade. If one blade were to have feelings, how can she still be unstoppable in Six Dao, saving all living creatures?

Even if she were to have feelings, she should keep her feelings within Buddhism.

But if the one she has feelings for is the Emperor who is not under the control of Six Dao...

Wait a minute!

Could it be that something was wrong?

Yue Lao stood up suddenly and walked outside with a pale face, ignoring the calls from behind. He went back to his Yue Lao Temple in a hurry and asked the two lads of him, “Where’s the thread that I asked you to prepare for the Emperor?”

The two lads exchanged glances, “Master, isn’t it always in your pocket? Master, are you drunk again?”

“My pocket...” Yue Lao seemed to have recalled something and reached out his hand to ruffle his long robe. However, it was empty, including his notebook, “How can this happen? Where did they go?”

The two lads looked at each other again before they spoke slowly, “Master, it’s really problematic if you keep up with your habit of forgetting things after getting drunk. Last time when the Emperor brought you the Sweet-Osmanthus Brew, didn’t you get so in love with it and exchanged it with the things inside your pocket? The Emperor even said, once it’s exchanged, you can’t get it back anymore and you’ve agreed.”

“Oh my! It’s over now!” Yue Lao knocked on his own head hard. This brain of mine is so forgetful. I should have been cautious with that fellow, but how could I have told everything so easily?

Despite everything, my dear Emperor, why did you choose Phoenix for your Red String instead of others? What are you trying to do!

Yue Lao knew the Emperor very well. This fellow was fickle, so it was impossible that he had fallen for Phoenix. He must be planning for something else.

Yue Lao was indeed right, the man really did have his own plans, especially toward Phoenix, “Come and stay at my place tonight.”
