The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 821: Sleeping Together

“I don’t have to chant sutras today.” Phoenix was always inattentive when she was chanting. So she smiled and handed over the things in her hand, “This is for your Emperor.”

The old immortal received it with two hands promptly, “The Emperor will be happy when he sees this. He has been waiting for you for some time already and he is resting now. He has instructed me to lead you to the hall once you’ve arrived.”

Phoenix did not really care about how long the man had waited for her. Little Phoenix only felt a sense of accomplishment as the gift prepared by her was finally sent out successfully!

She was over the clouds because of this.

The immortals were still feeling so unbelievable while looking at Phoenix’s back in astonishment. One of them, then pulled the old immortal’s sleeve, “Old immortal, did the Emperor really instruct you to bring Lord Phoenix inside? They are not going to fight?”

“Hush, now. Stop guessing. Lord Phoenix is really here as a guest this time and she might even stay here for a few days. You all better be quick-witted and mind your words in front of the lord. Otherwise, the Emperor might punish you if he gets upset,” said the old immortal.

All the immortals were stupefied. They looked at each other in dismay, “Did you hear that just now?”

“Something must have gone wrong with my ears. Hehehehe, staying for a few days? The Emperor has never requested anyone to stay overnight, let alone the Lord Phoenix who was always going against him!”

“If this is the case,” one of the immortals mumbled, “then the rumor may be true.”

The others looked toward him, “What rumor?”

The immortal never thought that his sentence would cause such a big commotion. He lowered his voice, “Someone said that the Emperor had announced that his relationship with Lord Phoenix in the banquet today...”

Upon hearing this, all the immortals were petrified. They were stunned with their mouths wide open.

However, Phoenix was steady after causing all the commotions.

Because she enjoyed watching others’ expressions of being stunned after all.

The old immortal stood aside after leading Phoenix past a cloud staircase. He bent over and spoke, “My lord, the Emperor is inside. He always dislikes others entering his royal chamber so it is inconvenient for me to enter. Help yourself.”

Phoenix nodded and paced inside slowly.

Tian Dao was different from Buddhism.

No, it should be said that the place stayed by the man was different from hers.

She could sleep with only a piece of floating cloud in Buddhism. As for the man, there were peristyles that towered into the clouds and glazed incense at his place. It was magnanimous and desolate everywhere.

There was a huge dark-colored bed in the center of the cloud layers as if it was covered with crow feathers. The clear distinction between black and white revealed the owner’s unique style of arrogance.

The man was sleeping with his face down. With half of his head sinking into the pillow and his hair scattered, half of his refined figure was revealed. The snow-like white quilt was covering half of his back while the other half was exposed. One of his arms was left hanging, showing his well-built honey-colored muscles. In the meanwhile, the rise and fall of his chest while breathing could be seen clearly.

Is he sleeping?

Unexpectedly, a person who was always aggressive and apathetic would be harmless after falling asleep.

The thick eyelashes hung, creating shadows under the eyes. The remarkable facial features looked elegant and refined at this moment.

Phoenix left him alone and looked at the big bookshelf behind the man. There were records regarding Tian Dao. Every ancient scroll would be regarded as a divine anecdote if it was left in the human world.

Phoenix took one randomly and sat on the wooden chair at the side languidly.

But when she was just about to open the long scroll, the man on the bed woke up. His eyes were as cold as ice.

Phoenix knew that this was the real him. The politeness shown by him on the banquet was nothing but his disguise...

“When did you come?” The man’s voice was lower than usual. Perhaps it was because he had just awakened.

Phoenix closed the scroll in her hand and answered simply, “Just now.”

The man glanced at her and sat up. As the quilt slipped, the man’s well-built chest and waistline were exposed. There were not any extra fats around his waist. His figure was so perfect that it was the best among all the Gods in Tian Dao.

Although Phoenix had killed a lot of people, she seldom got in contact with people. So she shifted her eyesight away unconsciously when she saw this.

The man smiled. He patted on the bed beside him, “Come here.”

“Go there?” Phoenix’s fine eyebrows frowned, “Do you have any other places for me to rest? Or I’m fine sleeping on the cloud layers too.”

The man stared at her and spoke after a while, “The manual mentioned to sleep while cuddling.”

“Okay,” Phoenix hesitated for a while before walking toward the bed slowly.

The man leaned on the headboard of the bed and gazed at her playfully, “Are you afraid that I will do anything to you?”

“No.” It was just that she had never slept with anyone before. To be honest, the man could do nothing to her. Her scythe was right on her wrist. If the man dared to overstep, she could use that to him.

She had heard that many from Six Dao had sent women to him but all of them were rejected. So he must be not interested in women.

Moreover, nothing would happen between them anyway.

After sorting things out, Phoenix pulled off the white quilt and squeezed inside. She pulled the quilt up to her chest before turning around to look at the man.

While lying so close to each other, their black hair was almost touching each others’, even their breaths were entangled.

Phoenix suddenly remembered the man was sleeping naked and her heartbeat sped up naturally. Yes, this is weird.

As soon as Phoenix came up, the man who was sitting previously leaned toward her all of a sudden.

It was too close that Phoenix was uncomfortable for a moment.

She was unsure of the fragrance on his body, it was faint and down. It mingled with the fragrance of mint and the residual incense. It smelled quite good, but the invading breath on this person was so intense that it was a bit evil.

“Do you trust me so much?”

“I’ve brought you a gift.”

Both of them spoke almost at the same time.

The man’s finger paused in motion, “What gift?”

“Wait for a while.” Phoenix ran out in high spirits. Soon, she ran back with a bag of fish food in her hand, “We could feed those demons with these at night. Don’t you like to treat them as goldfish?”

The man glanced at the fish food, then at Phoenix’s beautiful eyes. The condensed force in his palm receded and he stretched out his hand to pull her over with a smile at the corner of his lip, “Okay.”

It seemed like the Emperor liked the fish food.

However, only the demons knew that before Phoenix took out the present.

What the Emperor planned to do to her was definitely not simple...
