Chapter 48
Chapter 48 . 1
The Baihua Banquet starts tomorrow . Shen Li didn’t saw Xing Zhi since that talk .
Even under the same roof, it is extremely easy for two people with magical power to avoid each other .
After that, Xing Zhi still cooked food and delivered it to Shen Li’s door, but she didn’t eat any of it, so after two days, Xing Zhi stopped delivering food .
However, Shen Li couldn’t let herself be hungry . Although she didn’t like the immortals in the heavens, she still had to go out and walk around every day . On this day, she swayed to the venue for the banquet of hundreds of flowers and wanted to fill her hunger with a few fairy fruits . Unexpectedly, she just took a peach in her hand, and when she turned around, the goddess Luo Tian stood behind and stared at her .
Shen Li let out a clear cough: “The peaches of the heavens are quite big . ”
Then she threw the peaches back .
But Youlan said: “This peach is not big, it is from a peach tree that has been fruiting for a hundred years . It is not a rare thing . You can taste this peach, and then taste the next plate that has been fruited for five hundred years . So you can make a judgment on what is better . ”
Is this… her way to say that I can eat the peaches?
Shen Li blinked and looked at Youlan . Youlan turned away, her eyes showed some embarrassment .
She walked over to Shen Li, picked up three peaches, took a pot of wine, stuffed it in Shen Li’s arms, and walked quickly with her head lowered .
Shen Li looked at the food in her arms, but still did not react, what does this goddess mean now?
Want to choke her to death through these few fairy peaches? Maybe she is trying to frame her for stealing the fairy fruit?
There was a little fairy servant who was busy by her side, Shen Li turned her head and asked, “Isn’t it considered stealing if I eat what your goddess gave me?”
The little fairy was taken aback: “The Azure King is joking, since it was given by the goddess, naturally is not stealing . ”
Shen Li raised an eyebrow and decisively took a peach and put it in her mouth .
She went all the way back to Xiyuan drinking wine and eating peaches slowly, but Shen Li felt that something was wrong when she walked into the room .
The celestial light was too bright . Once she fell on the bed, she couldn’t open her eyes . Shen Li tugged the quilt and buried her face in it and muttered,
“I just I knew he was not at ease, waiting for me here…”
Shen Li didn’t wake up until the bell that the Baihua Banquet rang through the nine heavens, and it took a full ninety-nine and eighty-one times to wake Shen Li .
She stretched her head under the quilt, and when she saw the sky outside, she woke up instantly .
She came here on behalf of the Demon World, and being late would be a big joke .
She turned over and sat up, quickly tied her hair up, and opened the door . Xing Zhi was no longer there, and he didn’t even call her!
Shen Li’s heart was burning with evil fire, but she helplessly suppressed it .
It was probably for the best . They couldn’t even have the affection of roommates…
As she walked to the front yard, Shen Li wanted to fly away, but suddenly a red light flashed across the sky .
Shen Li frowned . At first, she thought it was a firework from the heavens, but she saw the red light getting closer and was actually coming straight towards the Xiyuan .
Shen Li frowned again, still hesitating whether to stop it or not .
She saw the red light suddenly accelerate to fall on the roof of the Xiyuan lobby, only hearing a “boom”, the earth trembled, the Xiyuan lobby collapsed, and the hot flame spread instantly, burning an orange-red sky .
Heaven… was being attacked?
This thought flashed in her mind, Shen Li raised her head and looked into the distance, only to see a fireball from an unknown source hit Xiyuan again, and one of the places where it fell was the wing where the spiritual tablets were placed!
That first real smile that she saw coming from the corners of Xing Zhi’s lips crossed Shen Li’s heart . The demon energy that was washed away in the marrow pool had not been completely recovered yet but She barely hesitated, and her figure flashed on the roof of the side room .
Shen Li snorted and barely pushed out a semi-circular barrier to protect the house below . However, the power of the fireball was completely beyond her imagination . It was extremely hot and carrying huge pressure .
If it weren’t for Phoenix’s natural fire, she might have been burned to ashes before she could catch the pressure .
She heard a sound of “Ka-cha” under her feet, it was a crisp sound of shattering tiles . She gritted her teeth, and the red light spread in her eyes .
With a deep breath, her whole body’s mana turned into a wave of golden light, and she rushed towards the fireball with overwhelming power .
The fireball shattered from inside out, turning into dusty fire spots, scattering around her wings .
Shen Li stood alone on the roof, the wound on her back open, dripping blood slowly from her hands,
However, there was no time to rest, more fireballs kept coming . Shen Li’s face was solemn, without avoiding or hesitating, with a fist clenched, the bottom of her eyes was determined not to shrink .
After the eighty-one bell rang, the Emperor of Heaven leaned slightly and said to Xing Zhi: “God is seated . ”
In such a situation, even the Heavenly Emperor cannot sit in the highest position, but no one knew that Xing Zhi hates to sit in this location . The white jade seat on the highest steps, is too cold…ah
Red light flashed across the sky, the eyes of the immortals followed it, and they smiled:
“Which car is that? It looks really majestic and beautiful . ”
But after the lights fell, there was a loud noise, and the sky was bright red, the clouds covered with fairy mist trembled, the cups and plates fell, and everything turned into a mess .
The Gong Fairy couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice . However, after the panic, there was a terrible silence . At this time, no one in the comfortable heavens reacted to what happened .
Xing Zhi stood up and saw several fireballs chasing the previous red light in the distance . His eyebrows sank, and he felt flustered in his heart .
“Report!” The strong voice of the guard was particularly harsh at the silent Baihua Banquet .
He ran all the way through in a gorgeous and cumbersome armor and made a crisp ding-dong sound . But no one wanted to appreciate the voice of jade, only the guards shouted in panic: There is… there is a fire attack! Going to Xiyuan!”
The immortals were shocked . The guard’s voice was hoarse and trembling: “It’s burning up!”
As soon as the breeze passed, no one saw when Xing Zhi disappeared . When everyone came back to their senses, they thought “How could they let High God fight alone?” After Heavenly Emperor regained his senses, he hurriedly recruited generals and hurriedly assigned the task, he personally led a team of people to Xiyuan quickly .
Azure King went to a banquet on behalf of the Demon Realm, but she never arrived .
She should be in Xiyuan . If she was attacked in Heaven’s Realm, it will not be easy to explain to the Demon’s Realm . (TL/note : This is your concern really ? Stinky old guy humpfh!)
Moreover, Xiyuan also enshrines the spiritual tablets of the ancient gods… The anxious Emperor knew that those spiritual positions were extremely important to High God and none of them could be lost . If the guard were not enough to stop the attack and the god becomes angry, it will be very bad .
Chapter 48 . 2
The fireballs smashed down the house one by one, and the roof tiles under Shen Li’s feet all shattered .
She cursed the idiots in the heavens more than once in her heart .
Even in such an important place, they didn’t think of putting a defensive enchantment . And she had been defending the place for a while now, where did everyone go? With such a high-profile attack, fireballs crossing the sky, and no one stopped the attacker?!
The idlers gods really have lived a long time comfortably, and their brains are too slow!
If the Devil Realm wants to attack the Heaven Realm in the future, Shen Li feels that in only one day she could make this group of wine and rice bags bow their heads!
Another fireball fell . This force was a bit heavier than before . Shen Li heard the roof beams creaking under her feet . Obviously, this wing room could not be supported for long, and these attacks were endless…
Shen Li gritted her teeth, her heart felt very aggrieved . She has always been good at offensive and defensive and likes to fight quickly . Today, being on the defensive for so long would be better for her to be cut by the enemy directly .
The wound on her back kept cracking, the blood had soaked her clothes, and the loss of too much mana gradually made Shen Li a little unable to hold it, as if her body was hollowed out, one by one, fireballs hit her .
Sustaining the protective enchantment, In addition to her injures and the huge pressure made her fall on her knees, and the burning flames were even more troublesome .
Without magic power, fragments of fireballs pierced into the already thin enchantment of Shen Li and burned her cheeks .
A red mark was left on her cheeks, but Shen Li was always indifferent to skin trauma, the only thing she feared was that sparks would burn her eyes .
As soon as she thought about it, a spark rushed towards her pupils, Shen Li closed her eyes subconsciously and bowed her head to hide .
However, at this moment of trance, another fireball was able to hit the place where Shen Li was standing . The huge impact caused the soles of Shen Li’s feet to soften, and one knee fell on the beam of the room fiercely . With a “click”, the beam broke off, and a piece of the roof was sunken in the place where Shen Li was kneeling .
Suffering from this sudden blow, the unstable aura in Shen Li’s body was even more chaotic, and the blood kept surging, even if she was trying desperately to suppressed it, there was still blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth .
However, at this critical time, she didn’t know if it was an illusion or what, but she felt a cool air burst out from the broken beams of the house, wrapping around her body, alleviating the burning pain .
But Shen Li didn’t have the mind to feel the coolness . She just felt that it was the first time in her life that she had not even seen the enemy and was forced into such a situation . It was really embarrassing!
She was angry, and when she raised her head, she saw a fireball that was bigger than before coming quickly in her direction .
The word “bad” flashed across her mind but before anything could happen, she suddenly felt a severe cold all over her body, and the huge pressure was instantly removed .
White clothes appeared in front of her eyes, and Shen Li, who was kneeling on one knee, saw only one back, standing against the light .
Because Xin Zhi was going to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the buns on his head were more neat than usual, but he still looked lazy, and the hot wind blew his clothes and long hair, making him look cool .
His figure blocked all the heat and pressure . Shen Li covered her chest with one hand and felt that her heart that had just been beating rapidly due to the battle was at this time, comforted, and eased .
This figure… could bring so much security .
For Azure King, a sense of security was a rare thing to experience…
The heatwave was approaching, and the huge fireball was carrying a force that seemed to turn everything into ashes, surging forward .
Xing Zhi’s face was calm, only gently probing his hand . The fireball stopped the attack suddenly like a vicious dog that was tied with a leash around his neck; it had reached the limit of the rope and could no longer move forward .
“Go!” Xing Zhi shouted and waved his sleeves .
But that wasn’t really necessary, Shen li thought, because she saw that the huge fireball was easily thrown back…
Thrown … back .
Shen Li could understand why heaven didn’t allow gods to be sentimental . With such a powerful force, if they could do what they want and use this power for selfish reasons, then wouldn’t the world be in chaos?
The side where the fireball flew back was lighted with a blazing fire, and as expected, no fireball struck again .
Thinking of the other party’s running from his life, Shen Li only felt funny, but when her heart loosened, her body became more tired, and she lost too much blood to control her body . She leaned back and rolled down from the dilapidated roof .
However, before she fell to the ground, someone picked her up, and unexpectedly, the person who grabbed her didn’t only grab her hand, instead, he held her entire body .
The warm palms were pressed against her already soaked back, and the wounds on her cheeks were gently stroked with cold hands .
Xing Zhi’s face was magnified before her eyes, and even though Shen Li was so exhausted at this time that she couldn’t see anything else, Xing Zhi’s eyes Shen Li could still understand .
He was angry . He was saying, “Shen Li, don’t you want to live anymore?”
“I’m not going to die . ” She heard her vague voice, “I’m just a little tired . ”
“For this house to force yourself to be like this…” He seemed to try his best to endure his emotions, “You are…how careless . ”
“I couldn’t…” Shen Li’s eyes were about to close and her tired muscles couldn’t support her head anymore . She slammed her head forward, her forehead pressed against Xing Zhi’s shoulder, her voice was small and fuzzy, “I couldn’t…Let you lose this . ”
Xing Zhi’s eyes shone and a warm smile spread on his lips when he saw those spiritual tablets . Shen Li just glanced at him, but deeply remembered it, and could never forget it .
Xing Zhi clenched his fists as if he was struggling for a long time . He wrapped Shen Li’s with a quilt with one hand, and firmly pressed the back of her head with the other, pressing her into his arms .
The strength was sometimes tight and sometimes loose .
He… couldn’t control himself .
It turns out that there is such a person, in front of her he couldn’t even grasp the strength to hold her .
A finger touched her hair lightly, his lips were just next to Shen Li’s ears, his eyes drooped, his expression low, three points helpless and seven points bitter . He only said to Shen Li,
“Azure King… Are you really trying to help me control myself?”
The Emperor finally led the guards and hurried over . Except for the wing room that Shen Li was desperately protecting, everything else was burnt to ashes .
Xing Zhi held the Shen Li in front of a pile of broken walls and tiles . With his back facing everyone, no one could see the expression on his face .
The Emperor of Heaven was slightly startled: “God Xing Zhi…”
“Don’t come . ” Xing Zhi said lightly, “I’m helping Azure King heal . ” He said, “No one is allowed to come over . ”
As expected, no one dared to step forward .
Xing Zhi held Shen Li in front of everyone and embraced Azure King who still had the same heroic appearance as usual, but then everyone saw that, compared with Xing Zhi, Shen Li was so petite… after all .
Azure King was also a woman; it was not surprising at all that she looked like one . (TL/note: No, really?? you dumb gods !)
