Chapter 57: Phoenix God’s Neidan
So truthful! It’s easy to be poisoned, so how could everyone be saved? Tian Zhen held back her laughter as she stood up and approached him. “Then I’m also a subordinate of Your Majesty, but Your Majesty saved me… Is there a difference between me and everyone else?"
Devil God raised his head, but didn't answer.
Tian Zhen changed the question: "If two heavenly kings were poisoned, would Your Majesty save them?"
"My sons are careful, and will not be poisoned."
"What if it's Heavenly Lady Huan?"
The Devil God looked at her: "You mind?"
His long and narrow eyes were sharp, and they understood everything, but the firmness in them seemed to have lessened. There was a faint sense of fluctuation, which made the heart throb.
Tian Zhen avoided his gaze and said casually: "How could I mind if Your Majesty saves people."
"Duplicitous phoenix."
"Then would Your Majesty save her?"
"Do you want me to answer yes or no?"
He threw the question back, but Tian Zhen didn't know how to answer it.
Seeing her unable to reply, the Devil God said, "If I answered that I wouldn’t save her, would you believe it? If I told you that I would save her, would you mind? If she really was poisoned, would you stand idly by, or persuade me to help?"
…
The Devil God concluded: "Only an idle phoenix would ask such meaningless questions."
Unexpectedly, as an usually taciturn deity, his eloquence was quite good. Tian Zhen could not retort and muttered: "Yes, I was idle, I just want to hear..."
"Want to hear me lie?" The Devil God faced her. "Or did you want to test me, wanting to know the truth behind the lie?"
"Ah?"
"She is my most loyal subordinate and a loyal friend."
The temperature on her face gradually increased. Tian Zhen moistened her lips for a bit and finally lowered her body. Unnaturally putting her forehead on his chest, she said: "Really. I really didn't overthink it."
"Really?" The Devil God didn't expose her. He then sat down on the couch, "It's late, time to sleep."
Tian Zhen hurriedly sat beside him and pleaded, "I don't want to sleep in my original form, Your Majesty."
"Your residence has been occupied."
"Your Majesty's bed is very wide, I won't take up too much space..."
"Nonsense."
"Then I'll spend the night at Cang dage's place." Tian Zhen stood up and left.
"Hmm?" The Devil God narrowed his eyes. He changed her back to her original form and held her in his hands.
However, Tian Zhen was unwilling to submit, as she flapped her wings.
Devil God warned: "Phoenix!"
Tian Zhen continued to flap her wings in protest.
...
Lying comfortably on the inner side of the couch, with a guardian deity beside her, Tian Zhen fell asleep faster than usual. She was laughing even in her dreams. It seems even the Gods feared a girl’s persistence. Success would always follow if she persevered.
Until midnight, when the heavy cold air from outside the Hall woke her up.
Under her was a cold, hard couch, the chill had penetrated into the bone marrow, and almost all of her limbs were frozen stiff. When she slept in her true form in his sleeves, she had never encountered such problems at all.
At this moment, the first thing that surged up in Tian Zhen’s mind was not regret.
There was darkness when she opened her eyes. She couldn’t see her fingers in the dark, let alone people. The familiar blue light disappeared!
Panic spread instantly, Tian Zhen urgently called: "Your Majesty?"
"I'm here." A low, slightly nasal voice came from beside her.
After confirming that he hadn't left, Tian Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help sneezing twice when a pair of hands reached out to hug her.
"Cold without my shelter?"
The wide sleeves blocked the wind, and the embrace was warm. Tian Zhen asked softly, "How..."
"Body is slightly damaged. God Halo will be temporarily hidden."
"Is it because of me?"
After waiting for a while to get no answer, Tian Zhen didn't pursue it any longer and fell asleep peacefully in his arms.
As for why she was poisoned, the Devil God never had the intention to ask, and Tian Zhen didn't say either.
It can be seen that this detoxification had severely damaged his power and body. In the following days, he spent most of the time cultivating and recovering his God Halo. Tian Zhen tried not to disturb him, and occasionally played with Lu Xiaocan, Jiu Sicang, and the others.
After the false accusation incident, Lu Xiaocan had become very sensible and did not dare to take the initiative to go to Qin Palace Hall to see his father.
Tian Zhen hugged him and pinched his face: "Little devil, daring to act in front of your father! Aren’t you usually so clever, don’t you know how many years your father has lived!?"
"You're so disgusting!" Lu Xiaocan shook her hand from his face, got out of her arms, and muttered, "I wanted revenge!"
Tian Zhen said: "Does your father believe in her or in you more?"
"Fuhuang seems to believe in you very much." Lu Xiaocan rolled his eyes and leaned over, "Anyways, since you hate her too, why don't we find a way to drive her away together."
Tian Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She raised her face to warn: "Don't mess around!"
"Are you afraid that she’ll go to the Heavenly Realm to deal with us?" Lu Xiaocan continued, "I heard that although she’s an innate deity, her magic power is very ordinary. She’s not even a tenth of Fuhuang's..."
Tian Zhen slapped his little head: "Take care of yourself. If you continue to mess around, I won’t care for you anymore!"
Lu Xiaocan was helpless and left unhappily.
