Chapter 58: Phoenix God’s Neidan (2)

Tian Zhen sighed. Everything was for his good. What reason did she have to blame Heavenly Lady Huan? Although this kind of thinking is very selfish, he would be safer if she remained in the Devil Realm.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. An ethereal shadow appeared in the distance, and the graceful figure was more beautiful than the colorful night sky reflected by the lights.

"Heavenly Lady Huan."

"No one has ever talked to me like that since the day I’d arrived here. Phoenix, you are very welcoming."

Since she moved out that day, she had never been in the Qin Palace Hall again. Tian Zhen couldn't say anything, and thought about it: "Heavenly Lady is an innate deity, so everyone will inevitably be filled with awe and dare not get close. Wait until they get used to it and they won’t treat Heavenly Lady as an outsider."

Heavenly Lady Huan said nothing.

Tian Zhen continued: "Xiaocan is just a small child. It is inevitable that he will be dissatisfied with the person who wants to recast him. Heavenly Lady, don’t mind him too much."

Heavenly Lady Huan smiled wryly. "You don't have to worry, for someone who is about to leave will no longer be a threat to him."

Tian Zhen did not expect this. "You..."

"I will leave."

Tian Zhen wanted to keep her, but couldn't find the right words. After a moment of silence, she asked: "Does his majesty know?"

"I didn't tell him," Heavenly Lady Huan moved closer, "Because before I leave, I must take something."

Realizing something was amiss, Tian Zhen didn't have time to step back and was already locked in place.

Heavenly Lady Huan raised her hand, her palm lighting up with God Halo.

Her whole body was shrouded in a brilliant light. Attacked by a huge force, the blood in her body jumped in disorder. Her chest felt heavy and her five viscera and internal organs were tormented; it was unbearable. At the same time, the flow of qi in her dantian was out of control. Flowing to the ends of her body, it felt as if something was being slowly sucked away.

Tian Zhen was dumbstruck: "You..."

Heavenly Lady Huan consoled: "Don't worry, His Highness Xi has already saved your life, I won’t let you die."

In a short while, Tian Zhen’s neidan slipped out of her mouth and flew to Heavenly Lady Huan’s palm.

"It doesn't matter if you’re angry. I'm doing this for his own good, don't you care about his safety?" Heavenly Lady Huan folded her palm. "I'll bring this neidan back to refine, there will be no harm."

After losing her neidan, Tian Zhen returned back to her original form.

Without further ado, Heavenly Lady Huan called out, "Xiao Cai, let's go."

There was no movement behind her, and the multicolored snake did not appear as she wished.

Heavenly Lady Huan was stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw a person was standing on the tall Rock Mountain. The golden robe sleeves reflected in the night sky, and the multicolored snake bowed its head under his feet, not daring to move.

"Heavenly Lady Huan."

"Your Highness has arrived."

"I’m here to stop you from committing an offense."

"Offense? Her neidan is Phoenix God’s, doesn't Your Highness know that?" Heavenly Lady Huan couldn't bear it any longer, and shook her head. "When His Majesty and the crown prince cooperated with the other deities to set up the Tai Shang Mirror, they failed many times. Only when the Phoenix God abandoned his neidan did it succeed. This caused Your Highness to be trapped for tens of millions of years! This neidan is related to being in the Tai Shang Mirror and is a great variable. It’s fine if Your Highness keeps her life, but the neidan must not be kept!"

"I've never doubted your intentions," Devil God said. "But who can force me into the Tai Shang Mirror in the six realms? You are overly concerned."

"In any case, I can't allow it to threaten Your Highness."

"Without a neidan, she can no longer cultivate a human form."

"It's not as important as Your Highness."

"Heavenly Lady Huan, don't disappoint me. "

Heavenly Lady Huan bit her lips. After a while, she opened her mouth. "Your Highness still can't forgive me?"

"It was my father and brother who persecuted you back then. You were controlled by others and bear no faults." The Devil God said, "I didn't enter the battle to save you, I just overestimated myself."

Too direct words often hurt people's hearts. Tian Zhen understood it all too well. Thinking of the hurtful sentence "I don't like you" at the beginning… Fortunately, she was mentally tough. Otherwise, I would’ve been discouraged long ago.

Heavenly Lady Huan did not speak, but smiled instead.

Feeling a tightness around her neck, Tian Zhen involuntarily opened her mouth to breathe, and at this moment, her neidan flew towards her and slid into her abdomen.

Heavenly Lady Huan said: "I'm leaving, you may be interested in sending me off."

After returning to human form, Tian Zhen got up from the ground. Seeing that the Devil God had no intention to keep Heavenly Lady Huan, Tian Zhen could only nod her head in agreement.

Heavenly Lady Huan curtsied: "Your Highness Xi, take care."

The Devil God remained silent as he turned and disappeared.
