The Anarchic Consort

“I need to think about it.” Phoenix pushed him away and stood up as she had her concerns.

The man did not force her. He stretched out his finger to stroke her lips and looked at her with his tempting magical eyes as his handsome face got closer toward her inch by inch, “Okay.”

She just can’t be bent no matter how much you try to twist.

Unmoved by persuasion or coercion, nothing could get through her mind at all.

However, it does not matter. A person as such would bring a lot more contentment once she becomes mine…

When Phoenix came out from the temple, she was carrying tons of mythical water in her arms.

Little Monk and the immortal were unaware of what had happened in the royal chamber. They were just surprised. Did the two of them actually finish discussing peacefully?

Aren’t they having a cold war?

Little Monk could no longer keep up with what his Lord Phoenix had in mind.

Well, as long as they were not fighting, anything is fine.

After all, the Buddha feast would be held tomorrow and the Emperor would definitely be invited over again this time.

Little Monk’s prediction came true.

During the feast on the next day, the man appeared as expected. He came in a white robe matching his black hair along with an elegant smile on his face.

Anyone who tried to get close to him was blocked away by him coldly.

Since Phoenix was still considering the matter, she decided not to sit by his side.

However, just as she entered, the Lady Buddhas and fairies’ gazes changed when they saw her.

“It’s Phoenix.”

“Shh.”

“I heard news saying that she moved into the temple some time ago. Tsk tsk, moving in just like that without any status given. As expected of Lord Phoenix, her thoughts are always different from ours.”

“So what? Even if she moved in, the Emperor was still chanting with Golden Lotus these days. The Emperor has always fancied pure women. As for those who act boldly, he’s probably just playing around with them.”

“Lower your voices, that’s Phoenix!”

“So what about Phoenix? She thinks she could do anything she wants just because her ranking of Buddhism is high?”

Golden Lotus was listening to the commotions around her but she did not stop them. She lowered her head, took a sip of tea and looked toward Phoenix after hesitating for some time, “My lord, just ignore them, don’t keep it in your heart. However, it’s better to watch yourself when you are dating the Emperor in the future.”

“What does she need to watch out for?” It was the Emperor, asking in an indifferent tone. Those who knew him well would know that he was starting to get angry at this point, “Do you all even need to discuss what others do and where others go?”

The Lady Buddhas and fairies were embarrassed as they were criticized by the man they admired. They looked down at their feet, thinking whether they had offended him.

Golden Lotus looked up and explained to him gently, “Emperor, it’s just a misunderstanding. We’re just worried that Lord Phoenix is acting too…”

“I don’t mind however she acts at all.” The man smiled while looking insouciance, “Since the concerned party doesn’t mind, that means it’s none of your business already, am I right, Lady Buddha?”

Golden Lotus clenched her left palm for a moment. When she felt the pain, she then smiled and replied to him, “Of course, it’s fine as long Your Highness doesn’t mind.”

Phoenix was watching this as she realized this was the first time someone ever spoke for her, although she never cared about the gossip.

However… So this is what it feels like to have a partner.

Phoenix looked down at her palm and subsequently gazed at the man who had already returned to his seat. He was showing his good-looking side face while listening to what the immortal next to him was saying. With only an arc on his lips hinting a smile, the Lady Buddhas and fairies around him were attracted and gazed secretly at him.

However, from what those people had said just now, the man must be quite attentive toward those kinds of things.

Thinking of this, Phoenix then pulled Battle Victory Buddha over, “Can I ask you something?”

“Huh, what?” Phoenix, just say what you want, why must you touch me? The moment you touched me, the Emperor immediately had his cold eyes looking this way!

Phoenix hesitated for a moment and decided to ask directly, “Did the Emperor have any woman before?”

Battle Victory Buddha looked at Phoenix unbelievably, “Are you even a member of Buddhism? How could you not know the enemy’s situation? Don’t you know that the Emperor rarely gets close to women? It was said that someone once tried to get women into his bed, but they ended up getting their ribs broken and kicked off to the human world. For that, I even suspected whether he had a problem regarding those sorts of things. I later learned that it was because he found them dirty. The incident was spread across Six Dao three hundred years ago, have you never heard of it?”

“Of course I know about this.” Although Phoenix never cared about any gossip, she would still take note of important things, “But I meant even before he achieved the title of God.” After becoming a God, there would be fewer affections, but it was different back in the chaotic world.

Battle Victory Buddha stroked his chin and said, “No, what I’ve heard was that the Emperor’s favorite thing to do in the chaotic world was killing people. He would kill anyone who approached him, so no women dared to get close to him then. This was also why Buddhism wanted to take him in, but he never agreed to convert…”

Phoenix could still remember the young man who stood in Leiyin back then. Both Tiao Dao and Buddhism could not do anything to him.

However, those were not Phoenix’s concerns at the moment.

Instead…

She flipped open the manual in her hands. It was clearly stated there, ‘As a domineering and reasonable partner, if it was the other party’s first time, you must be responsible for the other party…’

It was that man’s first time.

Although it did not seem like it, it was actually his first time.

Phoenix frowned and tapped her fingers on the manual. She had lost appetite for her vegetarian food.

She walked toward the man only after the Buddha feast had been dismissed. She looked at him calmly, “I want to talk to you.”

The man never thought she would take the initiative to approach him. So he followed Phoenix’s footsteps into her wooden house and raised his eyebrows with mischief, “Have you made your decision?”

“Yes.” Phoenix opened the manual in her hands and said, “I’ve asked others about it. That person said it is your first time.”

The man watched as she spoke so seriously and had his eyes on the words ‘domineering and reasonable’. He could no longer resist and laughed in a low tone, “So?” Is she putting herself in the wrong position again?

“So, I will be taking responsibility.” As expected. Phoenix’s expression turned serious as she opened her mouth again and said, “Let’s get together.”

Although it was rather unacceptable for a woman to take responsibility for a man.

The Emperor was no ordinary man.

The result was all he cared about, no matter what.

Since the result was just as he wished.

Of course he would answer composedly, “Sure.”

Once we are together, how long can your heart stay unmoved? Phoenix…

That was how these two people started their new relationship.

Usually, one would be playing chess while the other would be chanting.

The man would always hold Phoenix’s waist while teaching her how to win a chess game.

Eventually, they really started looking more like a couple.

In terms of love, Phoenix… was relatively simple compared to the man.

So, whenever they hold hands, Phoenix would always feel that her heart was pounding as if it was not her own…
