The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the attack on the heavens. However, three days later, the fireball thrown back by Xing Zhi was found in the northern corner of the heavens where it made a mess.
There was not a single living person. The gods set up camp and there and let soldiers look for clues.
After searching for so long, their inefficiency has made all the wise immortals worry. What was more worrying was that the people who attacked the heavens this time werenât the demons and not even monsters, but the nature of the attack seemed to be from the Beihai (Beihai means north of the sea) clan who has been living in the deep sea of the north. They always were an extremely meek and peaceful race.
They have never provoked war for thousands of years, but this time they attacked the heavens like crazy. If they dare to do this in the heavens⊠What unbearable things have they done in the lower realms?
The Heavenly Emperor was furious and immediately went to Beihai to find out. However, before he could go, the Demon Realm handed over an urgent letter dated five days ago. The content of the letter made the Emperor paleâŠ
Xiyuan collapsed, so Shen Li had to move back to Fu Rong Junâs mansion, this time to prevent someone from taking advantage of her serious injury Fu Rong, personally added a enchantment to the room where Shen Li lived, and Xing Zhi moved into Jun Fuâs mansion without hesitation.
Two distinguished guests stayed at his home, so Fu Rong Jun couldnât do anything outrageous in the mansion anymore, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
On this day, he called his acquaintance Xian Jun to play with him, and the other party laughed at him:
âThe rumor is that when this Azure King was injured, the High God was furious. He even hugged her. It seems that the two of them have a very close relationship. If you marry her in the future⊠your life wonât be easy.â
Jun Fu Rong heard this and his face paled He swept the chess piece, stomped his feet, and said angrily:
âYou really are using this to ridicule me! I called you so I can forget all of this!â
The other party just laughed, and suddenly they heard messy and fast footsteps. They looked around and saw Youkan walking into the yard with her face ugly. When she saw Fu Rong she said coldly âWhere is the Azure King ?â
Fu Rong was startled, and rubbed his forehead in distress:
âLet me tell you, Sister Huang, Itâs better if you donât add to the chaos right now, that person is now protected by the High God, how can we do anything? You stop and go back.â
Youlanâs eyes were cold while she stared at Jun Fu Rong. She just asked again: âWhere is the Azure King ?â
Only then did Fu Rong realize that something was wrong, but he still hesitated a little :
âInâŠin the backyard wing, in order to heal her injuries, I set up a barrier for herâŠâ
âTake me there.â Then without waiting for Fu Rong she hurried forward.
But after taking two steps, she saw that Fu Rong wasnât following, so she turned her head and stared at him fiercely.
Fu Rong trembled with fright and hurriedly walked forward to lead Youlan.
He asked as they walked: âWhatâs the matter?â
Youlan ignored him, and when she walked to the door of the small courtyard, Jun Fu Rong suddenly paused,
âI will open the barrier, so you can go in, but you have to go alone, I will not go, I am afraid to see the High GodâŠâ
Youlan stepped into the yard without hesitation. The barrier was closed behind her.
This time it seemed that Fu Rong had spent some time thinking about Shen Liâs healing place. The winding path was quiet, and the trail was full of fragrant vegetation. Separated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Youlan walked faster but stopped when she was about to walk out of the fragrant woods because she faintly saw Xing Zhi and Shen Li standing at the door through the shadow of the tree, Shen Liâs expression was unhappy, the two of them were arguing.
âWhy do you need to spend so much time caring about one skin injury?! Itâs a waste of time!â
Xing Zhi stood inside the door, his hands blocking the door, his expression indifferent, and Shen Liâs anxiety became more and more clear, âLet me out!
â You canât go out until the injury is healed.â Xing Zhi said it lightly.
âThe injury is healed! Those fireballs are not as powerful as imaginedâŠâ
âIf it werenât for the spiritual energy in the room overflowing and my friends protecting your body with divine power, do you think you could speak so loudly today? â
Shen Li was taken aback and suddenly remembered that at that time, she felt that her whole body was cooled a lot. It turned outâŠthat the power of the spiritual tablets leaked out to protect herâŠ
Shen Li felt that those ancient gods were really amazing. This was extremely kind of them. Even if there was only a memorial tablet left, they still took the time to protect her.
Shen Li continued: âSo, High God will help Shen Li say my thanks when I go to worship next time. Also, you said so yourself, since I was protected, the injury isnât all that, and itâs almost healed now, let me go out soon.â
âNo way.â
Shen Li was furious, and asked every word: âWhy are you doing this to me?!â
âWhat are you planning to do, that you need to go out so much?â
Shen Li smiled: âFive days have passed, but the heavenly realm has not caught the mastermind. Even if the person who is investigating the news only set off the day before yesterday, they should be able to run from the heavens to Beihai in two days! It wouldnât take dozens of days to go back and forth, they probably were lost or already died by now! â
Shen sneered,â What efficiency! â
Xing Zhi just smiled âThose who should be in a hurry are not in a hurry, but you the one who has to heal, wants to go there to catch them.â
â Iâm almost blinded by being locked up here!â Shen Li gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, â if it was in the past, I would definitely shoot out the nest of those bastards.â
âYou were beaten by someone and feel unwilling to lose. You want to get it back at them.â Xing Zhi smiled and exposed her.
Shen Li didnât want to look at him. Because of her anger, her mouth puffed subconsciously, because of anger, her mouth puffed subconsciously, but the arc was extremely small. If you didnât look closely, you wouldnât be able to detect it.
But as she moved Xing Zhi could see her slightly bulging cheeks. The uneven skin tone was the traces of her previous burns. Thinking about her falling in his arms that day Xin Zhi almost subconsciously pressed lightly that piece of skin with his thumb and rubbed it twice.
âI will avenge you.â He spoke softly.
When she heard his slightly kind voice Shen Li was stunned for a moment. She looked up at Xing Zhi and then pushed away his hand with a slap.
She stared at him solemnly, her eyes cold and wise.
There were three red fingerprints on Xing Zhiâs wrist. He looked at Shen Li for a while, then dropped his hand, letting his wide sleeves cover the mark, he smiled, and for a moment he didnât know what to say.
