The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  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.

  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...

  Chapter 833 - A Magical Mirror For You

  It had never crossed Phoenix's mind that it might be a bad thing for a woman to be too proactive in a relationship.

  Since they had decided to be together, she figured that she should treat the relationship seriously.

  As she opened her eyes, waking up in the man's embrace every day, she would catch sight of well-prepared vegetarian dishes. Breakfast would always consist of her favorite dishes.

  After breakfast, they would spend time together in the temple if they were free.

  He enjoyed c.a.r.e.s.sing her hair with his slender fingers and he would always carry a hint of a smile on his face.

  Occasionally, he would lower his head to kiss her. Phoenix would never avoid him but she was still not good at kissing. Her breathing would get uneven and she would always end up in a mess, though there was an indescribable intimacy between them.

  One day, Phoenix got obsessed with hair braiding. She twirled a silver ribbon around the man's hair as she braided it. When she was done, she took out her manual and crossed out a line of words in it.

  The man would often let out a grin just by looking at her. "How long are you going to keep up with this game?"

  "Game? Isn't this something every couple will do?" Phoenix retrieved another silver ribbon.

  The man smiled faintly and kept silent. To avoid his black hair from suffering further, he dragged her up. "Let's go, I'm taking you somewhere."

  "Where are we going?" Phoenix raised her head as she asked.

  The man pressed his lips on her eyelid and smiled. "The magical realm."

  Nine thousand feet, from the earth to the sky.

  Unlike the dirty chaos in hell, the magical realm was filled with fascinating enchanted flowers.

  Flower petals scattered in the air as the wind blew, even the air carried the unique fragrance of those flowers.

  Once the Emperor and Phoenix arrived, all the demons who were hidden there immediately retreated a thousand meters from them.

  No single demon dared to appear before them, especially in front of Phoenix.

  Even though she was not holding her scythe in her hand, demons who had seen her around the magical realm hid as soon as they smelt her godly fragrance.

  On the other hand, the Emperor remained his usual elegant self in the magical realm. Whenever he felt uneasy in Tian Dao, he would come over to drink in the magical realm. His every visit made the witches go crazy every time.

  After all, a man like him attracted the attention of others unconsciously, no matter how dangerous he was. The ascetic celestial aura that set him apart from Netherworld creatures was especially charming, winning over the hearts of others.

  Witches were usually seductive-looking. They dressed differently from the celestials, their appearances were gorgeous and their figures were ravishing.

  Even their gazes were filled with seduction. They did not bother to conceal their interests and they were not pretentious like those from the Celestial Path. Hence, their eye expressions would often reveal a surge of unyielding flirtatiousness.

  As a matter of fact, there had been witches who confessed to the Emperor before.

  There was a witch who was about to attain supreme Buddhahood. She came in flames without an air of pretense, she went directly before the Emperor and told him she was interested in him.

  The Emperor just laughed and said mischievously, "What a resemblance!"

  No one understood what he meant.

  In the next moment, the Emperor walked out as if he saw someone he knew.

  Since then, the Emperor never came back.

  Today, not only had he returned, but he had even brought a woman with him. Of all the women in the world, he had chosen the one who had killed thousands of demons and attained Buddhahood, Phoenix!

  Phoenix did not like the magical realm very much.

  It was because she was always here to capture and kill.

  Her Dharma had not fully recovered so the power she could execute through her scythe was only ten percent of what it was before.

  "What are you thinking about?" The man turned to look at her. He lowered his eyes and chuckled lowly as he went ahead and bit her ear. "Have I mentioned that I really hate it when you look so distracted before me."

  Phoenix avoided his action and pointed ahead with her lips curving upward. "That was where we first met in the magical realm."

  "No, that was not the first time." The man pulled her meaningfully into a cave.

  Outside the cave was a boundless stretch of red spider lilies. They appeared astounding as they drifted alongside the gentle breeze.

  A mirror stood on one side of the cave. The wooden frame of the mirror was black and was carved with complex yet ancient patterns.

  Phoenix's face was reflected in the mirror. What surprised her was that it showed how she looked the first time she visited the magical realm to hunt demons.

  It turned out that he was also present back then. However, he was just drinking by the side. With a glass wine in his hand and an evil smile on his face, he was surrounded by numerous witches back then.

  She failed to notice him previously. It was probably due to the fact that this person had always concealed his aura whenever he was in the Netherworld.

  Phoenix's heart almost skipped a beat. Just as she was about to open her mouth...

  The man hugged her from
behind and with a heated breath he uttered, "When I first saw you in the past, I only had one thought in my mind..." He raised Phoenix's chin and pressed his thin lips over. "If I ever meet this person again, I have to get it on with her!"

  Phoenix frowned upon hearing what he said. The way she looked now was even more irresistible than before.

  The man's gaze lowered and his voice turned hoarse as his fingers reached into her cassock…

  Ever since they agreed to be together, their intimacy had remained pure and innocent up until this point.

  They never did anything as such...

  Phoenix paused for a moment. As soon as she was about to push him away, a deep kiss locked her lips as the man's fragrant minted scent occupied her mouth.

  This time, it was not a simple kiss.

  The man's tongue slowly prized open her teeth and made its way in bit by bit.

  As the man kissed her, his fingers rubbed against her clothes roughly, his force was so strong that it was rather overwhelming.

  His actions made Phoenix gasp for breath. Her m.o.a.ns were cold and slightly husky. It was like a bone-chilling poison that diffused gently in the air, making the atmosphere rather dazzling and fuzzy...

  The man looked at the person in his arms. Her ink-black eyes were wide open and her black hair was tucked behind her ears. She looked even more lovely than she usually was...

  He felt that he could no longer resist it!

  No one had ever made him feel like that.

  The evil fire inside of him surged as if it was about to devour him.

  He wanted to kiss her more intensely, he wanted to get more intimate with her, he even wanted to tear this person apart!

  The man could clearly feel the agitation in his blood. He could feel the heat coming from all parts of his body as it zoomed in at the point between his legs!

  Even that part of him was telling him...to do it with her!

  The man opened his mouth and bit Phoenix's ear!

  Phoenix trembled slightly as the numb feeling spread instantly throughout her body. The man's c.h.e.s.t pressed against her and in between the force of his body was an excessive pool of heat.

  This time, Phoenix was sober.

  She was sober as she watched herself falling deeper and deeper...

  Chapter 834 - A Game

  Their relationship seemed to improve tremendously.

  Everyone knew that Phoenix was the apple of the Emperor's eye but some individuals were still tempted to take her place.

  The Venerable on the lotus summoned Phoenix to the Formless Realm.

  When the Sakyamuni Buddha went into seclusion, the True Buddha would have to go through the Buddhist Kalpa that happened once every ten thousand years to reclaim his position.

  Thus, Phoenix had been responsible for clearing all the wrongdoings during this period of time.

  There was no exception this time.

  Phoenix held her scythe and stood amidst the floating clouds in the Hall of Great Strength as she listened quietly to the profound changes happening in the Netherworld.

  "The Sea of Blood in Hell has risen again. Phoenix, it's your turn to go this time, do not lose out to the Celestial Path again." The Venerable spoke to her while murmuring Amitabha.

  The True Buddha could only return when the Sea of Blood had been cleared.

  Phoenix understood this clearly. She always felt grateful toward the True Buddha who had led her to Buddhism from Hell.

  As a result of her sense of gratitude, Phoenix always executed every task entrusted to her without any excuses.

  However, this time...

  Phoenix laid her eyes on her scythe.

  If this happened in the past, she would have gone to Hell instantly without hesitation.

  Phoenix was well aware of this so she did not go to Hell right away.

  The Sea of Blood was the acc.u.mulation of the blood and resentment released when the most ferocious demons of the world fought one another.

  The Sea of Blood could only be cleared by killing or capturing all the demons like what the Emperor did.

  However, capturing the demons was easier said than done. If one lacked willpower, the tables might be turned instead.

  Phoenix wondered if he could borrow the Emperor's mythical ax, but instead, she found that he was not in the temple.

  The immortal guarding the temple entrance told her that a witch from the magical realm had attained immortality, thus a celebratory banquet was being held by Tian Dao. Those from Buddhism had gone to send their regards as well. "Lord Phoenix, did the Emperor not invite you to the banquet?" the immortal asked.

  Phoenix had not heard anything about any banquet. But the Emperor had mentioned that he did not want her to be exposed to the public. He would rather hide her from their sights.

  "Since he is not here in the temple, I shall go look for him at the heavenly banquet."

  Her task could not be delayed so Phoenix did not linger in the temple. When she arrived at the heavenly banquet, she saw many goddesses sitting among the clouds. They started whispering among themselves once they saw Phoenix.

  "Phoenix still doesn't know yet, right?"

  "I bet she doesn't. If she knew, she probably wouldn't be as calm now."

  "Poor thing. Tsk tsk, who would have guessed that the witch and the emperor were predestined to meet? She said she had known him since they were in the magical realm."

  "Based on the Emperor's character, he is likely to abandon the old for the new. Even though the witch is not as beautiful as Phoenix, they are both wild spirited. Hence, it would not be a surprise if the Emperor is interested in the witch as well."

  Phoenix looked up casually as she listened to their conversation. Standing beside the emperor was a woman cloaked in red. She was beautiful and she resembled the Golden Lotus slightly, though she was fierier. There was joy in her eyes as she lowered her head and spoke to the man.

  A match made in heaven.

  The moment she saw them, these words came into her mind naturally.

  They seemed to be close to each other.

  Phoenix was stunned for a moment but she did not go forward. She concealed her aura from the edge of the clouds.

  The heavenly banquet seemed to be coming to an end. It was not the right timing for her to meet the Emperor as he was talking to someone. Furthermore, the matter of borrowing the mythical ax was not something to be discussed in public.

  As expected, the immortals could be heard sending the guests off after a while.

  Phoenix was about to stand up when she heard the crown prince's laughter. "Emperor, another witch falls for you. You even have the one from Buddhism in your clutches. This is no fun, you are winning every bet."

  What the crown prince said was nonsensical, but it made Phoenix freeze in action. She knew she should go out immediately or leave as if she had never been here before. However, her legs felt like lead and she felt heavy to move.

  A sigh of Buddhism seemed to appear in her mind again.

  Phoenix felt tired all of a sudden.

  However, the voice constantly spread to her ears.

  It was such a familiar voice, yet it was giving her chills right now.

  "Whatever I want...there is no way I cannot get it." The man smiled faintly, his long narrow eyes were glittering.

  His tone was so light, yet it made the crown prince's feel a shiver running down his spine. The crown prince smirked as he said, "Phoenix merely forgot how you looked when you were a youth, and she was just a little less enthusiastic than usual. Do you have to punish her like that? I know you are a vengeful person, every time you get hurt you will make sure to pay it back tenfold. But isn't it a bit harsh to dump her after you have made her fall in love with you? Phoenix seems to like you a lot, what are you planning to tell her about the immortal witch today?

  "What does this have to do with you?" The man laughed, he seemed to be in a good mood with the pair of vicious eyes looking seductive and alluring. He was like a deadly cli
ff that women could not help but throw themselves into...and fall to their death with broken hearts.

  Their conversation made Phoenix grip the stone pillar in front of her with trembling hands. No one could see it but her lips curled upward very slowly. It was not a smile at all for her eyes were ice-cold.

  So, this is the truth.

  It turned out she was the only one who was obsessed with the manual.

  She thought the other party was committed to it, but it was just a game to him.

  He could stop and leave anytime he wanted, as long as he found someone whom he was more interested in.

  She thought they were a loving couple, but in fact, she was just one of the women he wanted to conquer.

  Has the proud Phoenix turned out to be the biggest id*ot in the world?

  Hah, when I was m.o.a.ning in his arms, when I was listening to his heartbeat in between cuddles, he must have been thinking how easy it was to tackle me.

  Has he ever said he loved me?

  Everything is clear now.

  It is all too obvious.

  At that moment, not only did she lose her dignity, but she also lost her prideful heart that she had surrendered willingly to him.

  Phoenix closed her eyes again. Her heart still ached, yet she merely rubbed her c.h.e.s.t casually...

  Chapter 835 - Drew Out The Dharma Bone

  Her throat felt like it was on fire and a horrible dizzy spell hit her. Phoenix suddenly recalled a phrase that she came across when she knew nothing about love back then.

  That phrase went something like this, "I may have held your hands as we traverse together. I may have touched your heart and done many insane things for you. At the end of the day, I'm the one to feel the sting of tears while you nonchalantly talk about our past as we part ways."

  Maybe love is merely a game.

  Whoever takes it seriously will always be the loser.

  A smile played on Phoenix's lips. She stood alone for quite a while before coming to her senses.
