The Anarchic Consort-Novel2

Chapter 817: They Got Together

“Why?” The man laughed, with his indescribable style he said, “Because among the Six Dao, only I have better looks than you.”

Phoenix paused for a second, she realized that there was no way for her to refute him on this!

She had to admit that he really was better-looking than her.

He was an evildoer who could slay across the Six Dao just by his looks.

Only he would compare his physical appearance with a woman.

“Let me think this over.” Phoenix then suddenly recalled something and she asked, “I thought you already have that Golden Lotus?”

The man frowned, “Who was that?”

“Golden Lotus, the Lady Buddha,” Phoenix reminded him.

The man continued to frown, “I don’t remember such a person.”

Phoenix suddenly came to realize that all the efforts done by the people from Buddhism in the past few days were all in vain. The pity Honored Sir was still planning to fawn over the Emperor by beauty, but it all went down the drain.

“I’ve heard that you’re cultivating a Bodhi tree.” The man said softly, “The mythical water of the entire Tian Dao is under my control. From now onward, you will be able to get it without even violating the precepts of Buddhism.”

Looking at the perfectly handsome face, Phoenix laughed suddenly, “Sounds like a great plan, but we can’t really consummate our marriage right? How long is the time frame?”

“Around 40 days.” The Emperor placed the wine glass near to his mouth and took a sip, “After 40 days, there will be a tough battle between Tian Dao and Buddhism, that’s the time we break up.”

Phoenix ate a peanut and said, “I can’t believe you’re even providing me with my enemy’s secret. Alright, since you’re used to being with women, you should know how a relationship works.”

“I don’t know.” After telling everything he wanted, the man felt that it was time for him to leave. So he stood up with his long legs as he threw toward her an old scroll, “But I have common sense like the others. Try to read and understand these rules. Tomorrow I’ll be here to to eat vegetarian food with you and you should recite sutras to me during that time.”

Phoenix flipped through the old scroll and her thin eyebrows furrowed, “The daily routine of human world’s couples?”

The first rule was to eat together?!

“Is this written by you?” Phoenix suspected.

The man removed the dust on his fingers and smiled charmingly, “I grabbed it from Yue Lao.”

“I see.” Only this man could make the word ‘grab’ sound so legal. Phoenix had always been interested in Yue Lao’s stuff, so she decided to take a good look at the rules written on the old scroll. She asked, “Have you gone through this?”

“No. But you can tell me about it when you’ve finished.” The man was not interested in these things at all, but, “There’s just one more thing on my mind right now.”

“What’s that?” Phoenix was interested all of a sudden.

When the man saw her eyes lit up, he thought he saw something small and fluffy, urging him to caress her.

After all, she was original a phoenix herself.

“If someone happens to ask who among us was the one being pursued, in order to prevent them from knowing the truth, our answer should be the same, which is me.”

Phoenix who was eating peanuts paused upon hearing that, “Why not me?”

“Do you think I look like someone who will chase after anyone else?” The man asked steadily.

Phoenix took a glance at him. He really does not look like one. He can have as many followers as he wants just by lifting his finger.

But she was not someone who would pursue after anybody else either.

“I’m the one proposing while you’re the one pursuing. This sounds just fair.” The man’s words somehow did make sense.

Phoenix merely murmured in agreement and said, “I heard from that the pursuer has got a lot to do.”

“That was before you succeeded, now I’m already yours,” said the man in his usual calm tone.

Phoenix was speechless.

I did nothing at all, but I’ve succeeded?

The ancient words were right, it was really easier for women to pursue men than the other way around.

“Alright, it’s settled then,” Phoenix paused and then continued, “Remember to bring along the mythical water tomorrow.”

The man stopped for a second when he was about to leave. When he spoke again, even his voice sounded distant, “Okay.”

It was just like what the people from Six Dao had said.

The Bodhi tree was the only exception.

Apart from that, the Phoenix of Buddhism cared about nothing else...

“Emperor?” Little Shami quickly went over when he saw the man coming out. However, she could not tell whether the man was happy. The only thing he could sense was the slightly cold atmosphere around them. He stuttered, “You and Lord Phoenix, you both?”

The man laughed and said, “Nothing.”

As soon as Little Shami heard ‘nothing’, he really believed that nothing had happened and heaved a sigh of relief!

Little Monk, on the other hand, further confirmed that his guess was right. So he brought in the meal box to Phoenix as if nothing had happened.

“My lord, I knew that you won’t agree with the Emperor’s proposal.”

By the time she heard what the little monk just said, Phoenix was at the third daily routine on the old scroll. She then looked up and took a glance at him, “Thanks for your trust. But, I’ve accepted his proposal.”

Thump!

The meal box in Little Monk’s hand dropped!

He then laughed, “My lord, you must be kidding again. How could you simply say stuff like this.”

“I’m serious. I really did accept his proposal.” The lazier Phoenix sounded, the more Little Monk thought that she was just kidding.

After all, nobody would believe that Phoenix and the Emperor who had always been intolerable with each other would get together someday.

The next day, even when the Emperor and Phoenix were having meals together, the others were still thinking that they had gone from a superficial battle to psychological battle.

This situation continued until the fifth day. On that day, Tian Dao had invited Buddhism for a feast and all the Gods were present.

Only then did everyone realize that both of them had really gotten along unlike the way they did before!

Tian Dao was the host of this feast, so of course the God’s seat belonged to the Emperor. However, he showed no response when everyone walked in.

Not until Phoenix arrived on clouds. Only then, he looked up at her with his handsome features.

The man’s mouth curved up slightly while he focused on the quiet and elegant figure among the crowd. Traces of happiness appeared within his black eyes as he blurted, “Come here.”

Upon hearing his voice, Phoenix paused before her pitch-black eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist.

Then, with everybody staring at her, she walked toward the man naturally.

With one standing and the other one sitting, although they were still some distance between them, there was a hint of indescribable ambiguity between them.

There were commotions around them in seconds. All the Gods and Buddhas who were there stopped whatever they were doing and looked toward their direction.

What situation is this?

How come they are not fighting?

Not only was there no fighting, but how come they even looked harmonious together?

That’s right, harmonious.

But how is this possible!?

Different from the Gods and Buddhas, the demons which were pets of the Emperor were staring at Phoenix.

It was indeed a variable from heaven, the Phoenix in fire above all Buddhas.

Such an other-worldly deity, she was just too pure!

Besides her purity, her eyes were beautiful too. They were as black as ink and if one were to look at them for too long, one would definitely fall for them.

No wonder the Emperor was interested in hunting her. action

As far as they knew, the prettier the thing was, the more the Emperor would want to win it over...
