Chapter 60: I’ll Bestow You That Opportunity

Tian Zhen smiled: "I actually went to Immortal Realm."

"To find your friend?"

"He’s not an official of the Heavenly realm, but the Immortal Emperor Guan Heyue Wei."

The Devil God hummed, not surprised.

Tian Zhen asked: "His Highness already knew his identity, why didn't you say so?"

The Devil God answered: "You didn't lie to me, he lied to you."

Tian Zhen was silent for a moment and hugged his waist: "Your Highness, hug me."

The meaning of this ‘hug’ was different from before. It was hard to reject such a request at the moment. The Devil God was obviously still not used to doing this kind of thing. He slowly raised his left hand, hesitated for a long time, and then landed it on her back as lightly as possible. It could be considered a ‘hug’.

"Phoenix, don't worry about the neidan."

"I know."

"If I'm destined to go back, there will be a chance to seal it again," the Devil God stopped and then continued, "I’ll bestow you that opportunity."

Tian Zhen ‘Oh’ed and replied, "Okay."

Tears poured out her face and quietly wetted his robe. She was unsure why she cried, but she didn’t contemplate the possible reasons. They were obviously not parting, nor was it a life and death situation, but the tears couldn't stop.

Looking at the dark Void Heaven sky; it was a scene of desolation, but it filled the heart with warmth.

Phoenix God’s neidan… Was it really destined by the Will of Heaven?

If there was such a day in the future… Would his bestowment today relieve her guilt?

"You’re crying."

"No," Tian Zhen wiped her eyes with her sleeves and gave an universal excuse, "The wind blew sand into my eyes."

Without waiting for the Devil God to speak, she suddenly raised her head to look at him, and said slowly: "Since Your Highness said it like that, I’m just so angry. Even if Your Highness believes in the Will of Heaven, I can't believe in it. I don't believe in the Will of Heaven."

The Devil God looked at her for a long time, and the look in his eyes seemed to be gentler: "I will be out for a few days. You stay in the Devil Realm, don't roam."

Tian Zhen was surprised: "What are you going to do?"

"An important matter."

Tian Zhen didn't stop him. Although the Devil God seemed to do things casually, he actually knew his propriety. He was aware that his magic power was damaged and it was not appropriate to act rashly. But since he still insisted on it, it meant that this matter was really important.

"When are you coming back?"

"Earliest is ten days. Longest would be a month."

"Tell the Heavenly King to come with you."

"No need," Devil God said, "My halved power will suffice."

Thinking back to when he used half of his strength to repel the combined forces of the two realms, Tian Zhen admitted: "I am not doubting Your Highness's strength. I’m just asking Your Highness to understand my concerns and take care of yourself."

"I’ll bring him, no need to worry."

Tian Zhen thought for a while, and then added: "Also, Your Highness promised me that you should be cautious when going out. Don’t reveal your whereabouts."

"Naturally."

"You shouldn’t interfere in other things either."

"Loquacious phoenix." The Devil God walked off without her.

Seeing him disappear, Tian Zhen smiled.

"I say, as soon as that Snake Woman leaves, Fuhuang is only treating you well huh!" A little pipsqueak appeared out of nowhere.

Tian Zhen said angrily, "It would have been better if she didn't leave!"

"What are you afraid of? As long as gege and I are here, we can help Fuhuang as well."

"You rascal," Tian Zhen laughed and picked him up. "Your Fuhuang and gege are both going out. From now on, you better take care of the defense levels outside."

"What about your ex-lover's fiancee?"

Tian Zhen was stunned for a moment and then became furious: "Who is my ex-lover, hmm!?"

"I've already heard about the matter between you and Uncle Zhao Hua," Lu Xiaocan said smugly, "Don't think that since Fuhuang doesn't know, you can..."

"Stinky boy!" Tian Zhen raised her hand.

Lu Xiaocan jumped away, his big eyes shining with evil light: "You have to save even irrelevant people, so why did you imprison her? You must be angry that she robbed Uncle Zhao Huajun from you..."

"I captured her because she poisoned me! Do you understand? Poisoned!"

"So it was her poison," Lu Xiaocan realized, clapping his hands, "Then she must be jealous! No wonder Uncle Zhao Huajun sent his heart blood the day before yesterday! He still misses you..."

Tian Zhen pulled up his ear without saying another word.

"I’ll stop! I’ll stop!" Lu Xiaocan ducked and asked, "What do you think we should do now? Kill her for revenge?"

Without hesitation, Tian Zhen said: "Lock her up. Don't let her live too well, but don't let her die. We’ll wait until your Fuhuang returns."

—

Everything was as usual in the Devil Palace. More than ten days passed, yet there was still no news from the Devil God or Lu Binghe. As for what they were going to do, Tian Zhen really couldn't think of anything important in the Six Realms that he had so much attachment to.

Although she was a little anxious, she wasn’t too worried. Lu Binghe was resourceful and thoughtful, and his strength was not below the War God. More importantly, he knew how to communicate with his father. No matter how vain the Devil God was, he was able to restrain his temper and take his advice. He was the most trustworthy person to bring.

Lu Xiaocan had a childish nature, but when it came to managing the Devil Realm, he was no less than his big brother; his defensive arrangement was firm and well managed.
