Chapters 54: Lu Xiaocan’s Revenge (2)
He pardoned his son so easily? Tian Zhan was pleasantly surprised and rejoiced at her stroke of luck. His fatherly love had burst out! It must absolutely be that his fatherly love burst out…
It was only after Lu Xiaocan left did the Devil God turn towards Heavenly Lady Huan. “My son has been erroneous.”
“I was the one who brought up the idea of recasting him, It ought to be expected that he hates me.” Heavenly Lady Huan smiled with half lidded eyes, “Your Highness’s trust has already cheered me up.”
“It was not the reason that I pardoned him.” The Devil Lord continued, “You made the Phoenix leave, causing her to be poisoned and be brought close to death. I did not want to punish Xiaocan lest her heart is troubled.”
It was completely unexpected that he was even aware of this. Heavenly Lady Huan was not the only one who was dumbfounded, Tian Zhen was also dumbfounded. That he can speak it out, his intention of protecting her was also made clear. So was this the reason that he pardoned Xiaocan?
With a pallid face, Heavenly Lady Huan murmured after a prolonged silence, “Why did His Highness not expose me earlier?”
The Devil God withdrew his line of sight. “To not reveal was to make you feel calm. I exposed it, because I do not want you to repeat the same offense.”
“Your Highness has always been straightforward,” Heavenly Lady Huan turned to him, “So, Your Highness has decided to save her?”
“I have a meritorious body. I am not afraid of the poison.” Devil God replied.
Heavenly Lady Huan was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “If the one to be poisoned was someone else, would Your Highness save that person?”
The Devil God did not give a direct answer. “I am aware of the Heavenly Will.”
“Your Highness’s meaning, I… understand. Her having become like this was brought about by me. I will take responsibility for saving her in your stead.”
“Body constitution is not sufficient, it might affect you.” Devil God continued, “She will forgive you.”
“Is it so?” Heavenly Lady Huan smiled softly. And with an emotionless voice, she pensively asked, “How is Your Highness so sure?”
Because he understood her. Tian Zhen felt depressed. He obviously knew it was a trap, but is still going to jump into it. It can be comprehended as either being conceited or the desire of wanting to reduce the guilt. If not, then it is because the feelings of affection have increased.
Suddenly at that moment, Lu Binghe’s voice rose up from outside the Hall.
“Fuhuang.”
Upon receiving permission, Lu Binghe entered the room quickly before kneeling down on a single knee. He held up a porcelain bottle. “The Heavenly Bird Clan’s King Zhao Huajun ordered people to deliver this gift, saying the Fuhuang will know what it is upon seeing it.”
The Devil God was expressionless.
She knew even without seeing it! It was unexpected, but pleasantly surprising. Tian Zhen was overcome with the impulse to laugh again—the Heavenly Emperor, who was full of tens of thousands of calculations, would have never guessed an old friend and leader would bend the rules for saving someone’s life. Let this old lady show you all what is called “Heavenly Will”!
“The Heavenly Bird Clan?” Heavenly Lady Huan recalled something and inquired, “Can it be…”
“It is hard to undo the effect of the Shi Dan poison with the Heart Blood of the Phoenix King,” said the Devil God.
Heavenly Lady Huan took two steps forward, “But with its help, Your Highness will not…”
“The phoenix works for me, this matter is unrelated to the Heavenly Realm,” said the Devil God, cutting her off. “Return it.”
Return it? Tian Zhen nearly lost her breath. The momentary joy turned into rage. It’s rare for the other side to have enough feelings of guilt to send the medicine, but you unexpectedly want to return it? You dare to return it?!
Tian Zhen did not consider herself soft hearted. If it had not been for Zhao Huajun who had told his fiance that she was in the Immortal Realm, how would she have ended up in this situation? Understanding that his kindness was without cause, with just a little effort, it could be proved that he was not completely ruthless.
“Fuhuang, there is no harm in giving this matter further deliberation,” said Lu Binghe.
The Devil God raised his hand.
Lu Binghe did not continue insisting, he rose and left the Hall.
The Devil God turned to Heavenly Lady Huan, “You also withdraw.”
Bowing her head, she acknowledged the order, then turned around and disappeared.
Once the Hall had no one else left, the Devil God turned to the injured person on the couch, “Phoenix.”
Tian Zhen was already used to his conceitedness. If she was able to move, the first thing she would have done was shake him violently— God ah, you don't want to walk on the path before you, but insist on walking into a trap. You have turned many innocents into cannon fodder in your lifetime, but at this critical moment you want to talk about morality with the people who plot against you…
“You needn’t be anxious, I will save you.”
Idiot, this old lady won't be moved no matter what you do!
“My subordinate need not owe to the kindness of a commonplace God.”
……
Tian Zhen sighed in her heart.
Ok, do whatever you want. From what the Heavenly Lady Huan just said, this “taking responsibility”, I’m afraid it won’t be simple.
A strange light gradually surrounded the whole body. It was not soft, but neither was it as unbearably terrible as was expected. It carried with it a trace of warmth, giving the feeling of soaking and floating leisurely in an undulating hot spring. Her blood flowed, and the stiffness slowly decreased…
