Chapter 129 A beautiful misunderstanding
To Yun Yici and the other person's surprise, the emperor readily agreed to the decree.
Not only that, he also gestured to his subordinates to hand the spirit bird egg to Yun Yici: "Take it and play with it."
Yun Yici was speechless, but considering the presence of the imperial edict, he still accepted the bird eggs.
Yu Suqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was at ease entrusting the egg to Yun Yici; it was much better than it falling into the hands of someone else.
She wanted to ask Yun Yici what her plans were, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only follow behind the three of them.
After being released from the cage that had imprisoned her for half a day and returning to the ground, Yu Suqing was already in tears.
She looked at the familiar crowds coming and going on the street, and the city guards patrolling with a different vigilance than usual.
She opened her mouth to call for help, but before she could utter a sound, Yun Yici pulled her back.
Yu Suqing was unaware of the Emperor's identity. If he angered Yu Suqing, and Yu Suqing set fire to the city, Qishan City would likely become a living hell.
The emperor's decree simply stated that his outstanding appearance attracted considerable attention, both overt and covert.
He asked Yun Yici, "Where are your master and senior brother?"
Yun Yici said, "Wait a moment."
She took out a communication talisman to contact Rong Xuan, only to learn that after Rong Xuan notified Lin Zhao, the two of them followed the message she left behind all the way to the black market.
Unexpectedly, they were blocked outside. Rong Xuan dealt with the people from the black market while notifying Wen Fuyue.
This matter directly alarmed the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord of Qishan City originally wanted to deny the matter since Rong Xuan was alone, and secretly went to Luo Jin to ask him to release Rong Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Wen Fuyue directly stepped forward to demand the person, and the city lord pushed all the blame onto Luo Jin.
It was only then that they discovered Luo Jin was missing, and those who went into the black market to search for him had not returned.
The city lord was truly anxious now, because if anything happened to Yun Yici, Wen Fuyue would have to manually replace the city lord.
Therefore, Qishan City is now under martial law as they search for Yun Yici and the other woman.
At this moment, Wen Fuyue and her group are "guests" at the City Lord's Mansion.
Upon receiving news of Yun Yici and the other two, the city guards arrived extremely quickly, picked up Yun Yici and the other three, and rushed to the city lord's mansion.
It's no exaggeration to say that they even thoughtfully prepared two sedan chairs, each carried by eight people.
Yun Yici originally did not want to go up, but the emperor had already ascended first, and did not forget to turn back and reach out to invite her to go with him.
The damned city lord of Qishan City finally realized he was afraid, so he arranged for the most luxurious sedan chairs for the guests he had offended.
It was roughly the same scale as when he went out for fun and tours with his beautiful concubine.
As soon as Yun Yici entered, she felt that her feet were as soft as a bed, and the space inside was so large that she could roll around on it.
Moreover, the curtains of this sedan chair were extremely translucent, so that one could not see inside from the outside, but could see outside from the inside.
Yun Yici thought of something strange and quickly shrank back next to the sedan door.
That way, if the emperor issues an edict, she can simply lean back and run away.
She knelt inside the sedan chair, sitting upright, and said, "Senior, where are you taking me?"
Yun Yici was unsure of the Emperor's strength and only hoped that Wen Fuyue could successfully negotiate with him later.
Di Zhao was unaware that she already knew his name. He sat opposite her and said casually, "My name is Di Zhao. I will take you back to my territory, so you no longer need to hide your identity."
The young man's noble and aloof appearance was radiant; when he looked at someone intently, it was easy to deceive them into becoming infatuated.
However, Yun Yici knew in her heart that she had no hidden identity at all.
She knelt, her hands hidden in her sleeves, one hand holding a ball of dough that seemed ready to burst into flames.
Yun Yici said, "Senior Emperor Zhao, I only have one question for you. I heard that you came to Qishan City for the Divine Bird Egg. I wonder what you want the Divine Bird Egg for?"
He glanced at her and said, "If you heard the news, wouldn't you be tempted?"
Yun Yici secretly thought that she was tempted, but she wanted to ask the Emperor what he intended to do with the divine bird eggs.
If he intends to harm Xiao Ba, then she absolutely must not reveal any information about Xiao Ba.
She said to Huai Chuan inwardly, "The Phoenix Clan shouldn't be cannibalistic, right? Then why is he looking for the divine bird's egg?"
Huai Chuan said, "Let's wait and see."
Yun Yici racked her brains but couldn't recall any phoenix named Di Zhao in the original story.
Logically speaking, it's impossible for such a beautiful and outstanding character to have no interaction with the female lead at all.
As Yun Yici was thinking, Huai Chuan suddenly said, "I remembered something. In the shop that Bai Riyu Suqing led you to, didn't the young man in charge say that there was an evil phoenix born in the Demon Realm in the last hundred years?"
Yun Yici was stunned: "That can't be..."
Huai Chuan said, "Thinking about it carefully, his accompanying flame just now still carried a trace of evil energy, which is very likely to be his true form."
"Male phoenix and female phoenix, besides, look at his appearance, male feathered creatures are usually more beautiful than females."
Knock, what I said came true!
Yun Yici's headache started when she recalled Lin Zhao's description of the "clean food" the other party ate as being made from the flesh and blood of pure-blooded demons.
Even if he wasn't looking for the divine bird's egg to eat, she still couldn't hand Xiao Ba over to him.
Yun Yici didn't reply for a long time, and the emperor assumed she was angry.
The Phoenix Clan has always practiced monogamy, so he was indeed in the wrong in this matter.
He rarely lowered his head, and softened his tone, saying, "I just heard that a divine bird's egg had fallen into this place, so I came to try my luck."
“I’ve only met that egg once. How could I possibly have any feelings for it? If you hadn’t pleaded for me, I would have smashed it long ago.”
"If you're unhappy, I've already given you that egg. You can smash it, boil it, or fry it if you want; I won't say a word."
Since birth, Di Zhao has carved out a territory in the Demon Realm and has always lived a secluded life.
However, the demons living on his territory were fundamentally different from him.
A century has passed, and he, lonely, has begun to yearn for his kind. However, he has not yet achieved nirvana, and having been tainted by demonic energy in the demon realm, he will be rejected even if he returns to his clan.
Then he overheard news that divine bird eggs were being sold in Qishan City, and decided to come and try his luck.
Unexpectedly, the divine bird egg was a false rumor spread by the humans here.
Fortunately, he met Yun Yici, so his trip wasn't in vain.
The emperor sensed a kindred spirit emanating from her.
Moreover, he was drawn into the prison because of the mind-controlled steward.
If Yun Yici is a human cultivator, how could he possibly have the talent of a demon?
It must be said that Yun Yici was truly wronged.
In the Emperor's eyes: a similar aura (Xiao Ba) + demon talent (Mu Yunjian) + female (gender) = the dream lover.
Yun Yici stared in astonishment at the emperor's sudden act of humility and subservience.
This tone, this way of speaking, why does it sound so much like a scumbag who flirts with other women outside and then comes home and kowtows to apologize?
Yun Yici asked cautiously, "Are you... alright?"
The emperor decreed, "If something comes up, would you be willing to be my companion?"
Yun Yici: Oh no, this bird has gone mad.
