Little Phoenix Is Not An Immortal Chapter 31 & 32
Translated by Luen Translations
Chapter 31: The Devil God’s Son (1)
Stupid? Tian Zhen practically suspected that a problem had arisen with her ears. Since she had begun following this god during this period of time, the confidence she had in her IQ had greatly increased. Suddenly hearing this kind of evaluation, the first reaction she gave was to not move an inch. Fortunately, her rationality still existed so with difficulty, she restrained herself from speaking what she had been about to say.
This god looking down on you doesn’t mean that you can look down on him in the same way. In the face of strength, equality was but a fleeting cloud.
Tian Zhen tactfully argued: “Your Majesty believes that the strong do not have to fear schemes?”
“Inferior, common gods are already weak to the point of being pitiful,” The Devil God turned his face to the side, “If they didn’t even have scheming, how else could they act as my adversaries?”
Tian Zhen was silent.
If His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor were to hear these words, he’d definitely be angered to death.
The Devil God returned to the original topic: “Silver fox, did he have any sincerity?”
Tian Zhen shook her head. Of course him wanting to cooperate with you was for the sake of the Demon Realm’s interests: “Cooperation is a method where both parties each take what they need and jointly pursue a benefit. It’s a relationship that’s established upon benefits. How much sincerity could it require?”
“Pertinent,” the Devil God raised his hand to indicate his praise, “Clever silver fox. Forming an alliance with him, the strong would definitely meet with betrayal while the weak would definitely be exploited. Only an equal could receive his sincerity and fight alongside him.”
Tian Zhen didn’t speak anymore.
History has told us that it’s never a good thing when the weak and the strong form an alliance. This is because almost all of the strong would annex their pitiful allies in the end. The present Devil Realm was dominating. A smart weakling would either unite with other weaklings to balance the situation or sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, that was normal. The Demon Emperor unexpectedly didn’t worry about the Demon Realm’s future and took the initiative to cooperate with the Devil Realm. This kind of ally was very likely to acquire your trust first and then attack you at an appropriate, key moment.
“Even if it’s like this, Your Majesty also shouldn’t have spoke out and humiliated him. What would we do if he were to ally with the God Realm out of anger?”
“Three Realms Alliance, I quite look forward to it.”
……
The true face of the new leader who built a harmonious society is that of a warhawk. Discontent with his own current state of being without equal, he strives to nurture an opponent. He waits for you to slowly become strong and then……beats you up again. As it turns out, besides being unable to bear the God race going extinct, he had another reason for why he let the God Realm continue to exist. It was that he could beat them up whenever he was free while treating it as training.
If His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor were to know that the alliance he had taken great pains to set up was, with regards to this god, an offering of amusement and entertainment, he’d definitely be angered to death and then angered alive again.
(T/N: so he gets pissed to death but he’s so pissed that he comes back from the grave cause he cant RIP)
As for the Three Realms Alliance, Tian Zhen was just joking. In reality, it wasn’t anything worth worrying about.
Similarly, the Demon Emperor wouldn’t dedicate much sincerity to the God Realm. He didn’t want to let the Demon Realm dominate, but in no way did he dare to let the Devil Realm disappear. Otherwise, who would come and restrict the God and Immortal Realms? This person’s personality was one where he was unwilling to be lower than someone.
Tian Zhen was unwilling to give up: “Your Majesty truly wants to let them mature? Even if we don’t touch the God Realm, we could subdue the remaining four realms first……”
“Stupid!” The Devil God straightforwardly seized her right to speech, “Formerly, my strength alone was unrivalled among the six realms. Now, there’s no meaning in attacking the weak four realms. You, don’t need to speak anymore.
Tian Zhen returned to her original form and got inside his sleeve. She reflected upon herself in silence while squatting inside.
You’re strong, that’s why I beat you. If His Majesty the Heavenly were to know about this, he’d definitely be angered to death, then angered alive, and then angered to death again.
Alright, I admit that I’m stupid. I just misunderstood this new leader’s lifetime goal……
The barrier was eliminated. The news of the victory had reached Void Heaven long ago. The two heavenly kings led a mass of devils outside Void Heaven’s door to welcome them. This event really was a plan to lure the enemy away from his territory. At the same time that the two realms’ allied armies fought the Devil God, the God Realm had secretly dispatched three armies to attack Yue Wei Mountain. Just as the Devil God had expected, after Lu Binghe came out of isolation, he then personally rushed to support his younger brother and successfully took back the Devil Spring. At that point, the God Realm’s plan had been ruined.
Returning to the miles of rocky mountains and seeing the multi-colored pearl’s light, Tian Zhen felt it was extremely familiar as she followed the Devil God back to his Qin Hall.
“I pay my respects to fuhuang.” Lu Binghe entered the hall and paid his respects while kneeling down on one knee.
The Devil God turned around: “My son, you’ve worked hard.”
Hearing these two people’s dialogue, Tian Zhen wanted to scoff.
A benevolent father and filial son. How harmonious and beautiful, but this……wasn’t it a bit too confusing? Father and son looking like brothers was quite normal. The problem was that the father look like the younger brother while the son looked like the older brother. This sufficiently verified the saying, “You can’t judge a person by appearance.”
Lu Binghe and his father didn’t have the least bit of resemblance. The contours of his face were robust and on top of that, he had deep purple eyes and very long silver hair. His purple forehead ornament glinted with a metallic luster. He appeared cool-headed and heroic.
In comparison, Lord Devil God, your appearance is really just too……beautiful and delicate.
When father and son stood together, outsiders definitely wouldn’t misunderstand who was the Devil Emperor. It was probably because the son’s appearance was too masculine and lacked the dark temperament of the ancient Death God.
Tian Zhen was still letting her imagination run wild. Across from her, Lu Binghe’s expression hadn’t changed. He was still half-kneeling on the ground: “Son has gone into isolation for many days. From start to end, it was difficult to raise my body’s power. I request punishment from fuhuang.”
Having personally seen him teach his younger son a lesson, Tian Zhen immediately looked at the Devil God.
“No matter, it was my mistake,” The Devil God unexpectedly didn’t reproach him and seemed to have long anticipated this, “Taking back the Devil Spring, you did very well.”
Lu Binghe lightly brushed away his cloak and got up: “I’ve heard that the Demon Emperor sent a letter of request. I expect that he must want to cooperate with the Devil Realm. What was the result?”
“Refusal.”
It wasn’t just refusal, he also took action and fought with him. Tian Zhen sighed.
Lu Binghe frowned: “Fuhuang, why did you refuse?”
The Devil God said: “Completely lacking in sincerity.”
Lu Binghe said: “Although there is no sincerity, it is not as if we cannot form an alliance in name only. This person holds grudges, refusing him will certainly become a hidden danger. I am afraid that it will be harmful to fuhuang.”
Tian Zhen looked at the Devil God and repeatedly nodded her head.
Look, look, your two sons are either both wise and brave or crafty and cunning. Fortunately neither of them inherited your genes. Although you also can’t be considered as too dumb, offending people everywhere you go is just too intolerable……
“I, don’t need allies nor do I fear retaliation,” The Devil God carelessly waved his sleeve, “Bearing grudges against me won’t affect his attitude towards the Devil Realm. My son, he will become your best comrade. My rejection will bring about your future cooperation.”
Lu Binghe finally showed a shocked expression: “Fuhuang, why would you say such a thing?”
“A god’s tribulation. I will return to the Taishang Mirror.”
This time, Tian Zhen really did blank out.
The conceited Death God possessed unparalleled strength and looked down on the six realms. To be capable of facing his future destiny so serenely truly was a surprise.
“Who would be able to seal fuhuang,” Lu Binghe resolutely said, “That is nothing more than a rumor that Shi Zhongtian spread in order to calm the minds of his army. As long as fuhuang unifies the six realms and completely annihilate the Divine Winged race, the rumor will end.
Annihilate the Divine Winged race? Tian Zhen was frightened into contracting her wings.
“When a powerful force remains in this world, it will certainly receive the wrath of Heaven. Come, it’s time to receive this tribulation,” The Devil God turned around and sat on his couch. His entire body was leisurely sending out a gentle, white light that differed from the usual, “It’s difficult to arouse the interest of the strong in the current six realms. I look forward to what capability they have to seal me.”
Tian Zhen was even more speechless.
You made such a disturbance until everyone had a headache yet you dislike dullness. After messing around for so long, you’re just freely and confidently walking around.
Lu Binghe took note of the anomaly, his eyes flashed: “Heavenly primordial spirit light. Fuhuang was injured?”
“No matter.” The Devil God indicated that he withdraw.
Lu Binghe paid his respects and left. Without batting an eyelid, he commanded Tian Zhen: “Fuhuang needs to recover his primordial spirit, Bird Woman, you follow me outside. Do not disturb him.”
Seeing the Devil God begin to assume the pose of The Thinker, Tian Zhen nodded her head and followed him out of the hall.
The long, silver hair shone underneath the pearl’s light and he seemed to be draped all over in moonlight. The purple cloak followed his steps and moved up and down, almost curving into an arc. It could be clearly seen that the person in front’s every step was exceedingly firm. Tian Zhen cautiously followed behind him. Was it really just because he was afraid of disturbing His Majesty the Devil God that he called me outside? Only an idiot would believe that.
Walking down the Qin Hall’s fifth layer of stairs, Lu Binghe finally came to a halt. Tian Zhen immediately followed him and stopped.
Chapter 32: The Devil God’s Son (2)
Luo Binghe had his back towards her: “The Divine Winged race’s?”
This matter was very sensitive, the more you said, the more things could go wrong. Tian Zhen honestly admitted: “Yes.”
“You have a high understanding of that prophecy.”
“Heard of it.”
“Fuhuang has never been injured before.”
Here it comes, here it comes! Tian Zhen softly said: “I……My constitution is of the worst type. I only have a millennium's worth of cultivation so how could I injure His Majesty?”
“Divine Winged Phoenix Clan, colored feathers were injured during your fire bathing, cultivated into human form several months ago, and worked as Zhao Huajun’s personal maid,” Luo Binghe turned around to face her. There wasn’t the slightest change in his tone, “Zhao Huajun’s treatment towards you wasn’t cold. Had you stayed in the God Realm, there might have been hope for you to become his side-chamber consort. Yet, you suddenly coming to the Devil Realm has puzzled me.”
F***, he’s gotten a clear grasp of my information this fast! Tian Zhen was caught unprepared: “Information that was obtained from asking around isn’t necessarily worth completely believing……”
Luo Binghe reached out his hand.
Tian Zhen was terrified and was just about to recoil when that hand already withdrew.
“The Trust Hairpin of the Peacock King’s race. It can command the Green Feather Peacock Soldiers. If its possessor was just an ordinary maid, I would be greatly interested,” Beautiful fingers fiddled with the feather hairpin’s dark green rod. Luo Binghe insipidly said, “Do not tell me that you have yearned for the Devil Realm for a long time.”
“This matter, uh, when speaking of it it’s actually quite complicated,” Tian Zhen elaborated with her words, stalling for time while her mind rapidly considered the most suitable answer, “At that time it was……at that time……”
Luo Binghe looked at the feather hairpin in his hand: “It’s best if you think of an excuse faster. There’s a limit to my patience.”
Dealing with a calm and rational person was definitely more challenging and dangerous than dealing with a conceited and powerful person. This kind of difference was decided based on the gap in strength. In front of the latter, there wasn’t anything that could threaten him. Therefore he was conceited and disdained too much planning. The former however, didn’t have this kind of confidence. Therefore, the moment he sensed a threat, his first response would be to eliminate it.
Being threatened by the killing intent, Tian Zhen inwardly yelled damn it and hurriedly said: “At that time when I fell into His Majesty’s hands, I actually wanted to find a way to survive.”
Luo Binghe wasn’t surprised. He delivered the feather hairpin back to her hair and then moved one step to the side, giving her a way out: “Your life was already saved, you can leave now.”
Tian Zhen didn’t move.
This beautiful man clearly wanted to dispose of her yet he used this kind of sinister method. If she were to really leave at this moment, she would take up the identity of a spy for real. It was likely that in the next moment, even before she had left the Devil Realm, he’d end her. There was a big difference between taking care of a spy and slaughtering a subordinate without reason. The spy was unsuccessful in escaping and was beheaded. The Devil God had no reasons to denounce him.
How could that kind of great deity produce such a sinister son!
His unwillingness to directly make a move indicated that he still had misgivings. Tian Zhen clearly understood this point and quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Worrying about your fuhuang, I understand your filial piety. However, demanding that I use my life to make you feel at ease, the pressure I feel is quite heavy!
“Heavenly king, please listen to me finish speaking,” Tian Zhen simply looked straight at him and very slowly said, “At that time, entering the Devil Realm was for the sake of surviving, but now, I sincerely want to remain here and faithfully serve His Majesty.”
“You have this ability?”
“I’m aware that I’m incompetent. I can only serve His Majesty with all of my heart.”
Right now wasn’t the time to prove her ability. If she really were to puff herself up in order be impressive, it was hard to say whether or not this person wouldn’t seize the chance to dispatch her outside to carry out a mission. Wouldn’t she be screwed then? Losing face is always better than losing your life.
As expected, Luo Binghe’s expression chilled: “Remaining here, it’ll be hard to guarantee your life.”
Want to scare me away? Contrarily, Tian Zhen became calmer and bent her waist as she deferentially said: “Doubting that I’m a spy, this isn’t all that strange as anyone has the right to doubt. I understand heavenly king’s misgivings, but the Devil Realm’s people cannot massacre one another. I have engraved His Majesty’s teachings in my heart. Without proof, I’m convinced that His Majesty won’t rashly punish his subordinate nor would he tolerate this kind of conduct.”
Purple eyes turned frosty and Luo Binghe drew closer: “You think you can be regarded on equal terms with me?”
An undisguised threat! Tian Zhen drew back: “How could I dare to compare myself with heavenly king. Heavenly king is His Majesty’s child. Killing a puny capitulated soldier isn’t a big crime, but subordinate is indeed being wrongly accused.”
She hadn’t finished speaking when blue light shone within that palm. It scared her into breaking out in a cold sweat.
Suddenly, a red figure jumped out from behind a nearby rock and grabbed the tips of her wings: “Big brother, don’t scare her. I know she wants to seduce fuhuang!”
Children’s words carry no harm, children’s words carry no harm! Tian Zhen was silent.
“I personally saw it,” Lu Xiaocan pushed her aside and strolled over to his big brother’s side, “Although she looks a bit ugly, she’s always bothering fuhuang and fuhuang listens a bit to what she says.”
Luo Binghe was also aware of the rumor and stopped his hand in passing.
Tian Zhen continued to maintain her silence while feeling incomparably wronged.
This is practically an enormous unjust accusation. The criteria for a honey trap is too high. I know myself extremely well. At most, I did some flattering while I was in my infatuated state and even that was just because I wanted to live a bit longer. Lord Devil God not yelling that I was stupid was already quite polite of him. When have you heard my words?
Luo Binghe asked his little brother: “Why did come here?”
Lu Xiaocan said: “Just now Yan Wu came to find me saying that fuhuang wanted to see me.”
Yan Wu? Tian Zhen was surprised when she heard this name again.
“Fuhuang is healing, how could he call you……” Lu Binghe furrowed his brows, no longer continuing to speak.
Lu Xiaocan glanced at Tian Zhen and lightly snorted: “I didn’t say anything wrong.”
The two brothers were clever and Tian Zhen couldn’t be considered as too stupid. She quickly understood and was overjoyed with the turn of events. She finally made up her mind: “My magic is weak and I’m someone who’s afraid of dying. Heavenly king need not be so alert towards me.”
Luo Binghe faintly said: “You’re quite unwilling to give up.”
Tian Zhen said: “His Majesty has shown me kindness. It’s fine if you believe me, it’s fine if you don’t believe me. I swear that I definitely won’t betray the Devil Realm.”
“I’ll allow you to stay. However, your Divine Winged Phoenix Clan identity,” Luo Binghe paused and then said, “You know what should be done. I look forward to your actions.” Having finished speaking, he turned around and slowly walked down the stairs.
“Bird Woman, don’t think that you’ll have your way.” A small, red head tunneled out from underneath her wing.
This little rotten child was unable to differentiate good from bad. Fancy that I, as a Holy Mother, said good things about you on your behalf and even fed you blood! Tian Zhen grinded her teeth and was all smiles when she turned her body to the side: “Little heavenly king is truly clever. Just now, what did you say you saw?”
Sensing enmity, Lu Xiaocan jumped away: “You’re seducing fuhuang. I warned big brother and saved you.”
Tian Zhen nodded her head: “How did I seduce him?”
“No wonder you still haven’t succeeded,” Lu Xiaocan clicked his tongue twice and shook his head, “Looking this ugly and only able to hold hands. How could fuhuang be taken in. You should go learn from Yu Yangjiao……”
Tian Zhen glowered: “I’m seducing him because I want to be your mother. At that time, I’ll drink your blood everyday.”
“You dare!” Lu Xiaocan pointed at her and bared his teeth, “I’ll make you……”
“What’ll you do to me? If you don’t want to make fuhuang mad then don’t touch me,” Tian Zhen spread her arms, “Be good. If you agree to let mother give you a kiss, mother will properly care for you from now on.”
“You’re really disgusting!” Lu Xiaocan turned into red light and escaped.
The light of the pearls atop the divine pillars outside had extinguished and it was nighttime in Void Heaven. On the couch, the Devil God was still supporting his forehead with one hand and in a state of meditation. The heavenly primordial spirit light coming from his body was fading out and beginning to turn into the normal blue halo. The reflecting light made the main hall mysterious and beautiful. Similar to the palaces within Greek mythology.
With regards to men who have saved them before during a crucial moment and who are injured as a result of doing so, most women would raise their favorability ratings of them. What’s more, this god was beautiful beyond belief.
Unwittingly, a wave rippled in Tian Zhen once again as she walked over and knelt down in front of him.
Calling the younger son over was clearly to help her get out of trouble for him. He had already foreseen that the older son would make things difficult for her. Although this god’s IQ wasn’t clear, plus he was a bit conceited, a bit violent, a bit warlike, and a bit proud. However, he was a god of good rank, he took on responsibilities, and he created a harmonious society. Actually……seducing wasn’t necessarily out of the question. It was just that she wasn’t sure of the probability of the formidable Devil God having a formidable esthetic conception……
The pitch-black, long hair hid the golden hair ornament, the thick, long eyelashes hung low, and the corner of his mouth seemed to raise yet didn’t. The entire face was encircled within a dark black atmosphere. He deserved to be called Void Heaven’s Devil Emperor.
Inexplicably, Tian Zhen reached out her hand.
She watched as she was just about to caress that face……
This god can’t be touched! The experience of being shot flying reappeared within her memories. Tian Zhen woke up and promptly wanted to pull her hand back. Who could have known that at this moment——
“Bird Woman.” The pair of long, narrow eyes slowly opened.
Your Majesty.” Tian Zhen’s hand couldn't reach out, nor could it be withdrawn. Without any other option, it was left raised in midair.
The Devil God looked at her.
This ambiguous distance had long overstepped the boundaries of a leader and subordinate. Tian Zhen awkwardly said: “Little heavenly king came just a moment ago. I’m very grateful towards Your Majesty.”
The Devil God accepted her thanks and changed to look at that hand. It was evident that he wanted a reasonable explanation.
Tian Zhen also looked at that hand in midair and forced a smile: “Your Majesty’s face is very beautiful ……”
The Devil God still didn’t express anything else.
Her face was burning hot and her mind was also getting dizzy. Tian Zhen hardened her heart and made an important decision at the last moment.
Gently, softly, gently, softly……
Silently reciting these two words, Tian Zhen’s claw stretched forward and she adopted the posture of wiping his sweat on his behalf: “Is Your Majesty’s injury a bit better?”
His divine prestige was offended and his divine face was about to be blasphemed. The Devil God probably didn’t expect there to be someone who was this unafraid of dying. He subconsciously wanted to teach her a lesson, but then he suddenly recalled that this woman wouldn’t be able to endure a beating. The consequence of using his divine strength was very likely to be a seriously injured her. At that time, it would be quite difficult to explain this to outsiders. More importantly, if he turned this woman into cannon fodder, the coming days would once again become dull.
Just this moment of hesitance and a tragedy occurred.
Lord Devil God’s face!
I touched Lord Devil God’s face!
……
Tian Zhen’s soul flew towards the sky. All the hair on her body stood up and her small heart trembled, having nearly directly shutdown.
A cold wind blew in from outside the palace door. Subsequently, the long hair that hung down in front of his forehead swayed and brushed against her hand. The real feeling from her fingertips transmitted a perceivable temperature……
“Bird Woman!” The Devil God calmly opened his mouth
“Yo……Yo-Yo-Your Majesty……” Tian Zhen stuttered. She couldn’t tell if it was excitement or nervousness. Momentarily, that hand unexpectedly stiffened and it was too late to pull it back.
“Un——” A deep and low voice with a rising intonation. It indicated a warning.
Maintaining this kind of posture, Tian Zhen finally recalled this action’s purpose. She promptly gazed at his eyes and spoke the words that she had prepared long ago: “Your Majesty, I like you!”
“I, don’t like you.” The Devil God lifted her aside and straightened his body.
That was her most serious confession and yet it was met with the most straightforward and heartless rejection. Once more, Tian Zhen’s frail heart received a blow. Forget it, I was overestimating my capabilities. Your son is so dangerous, it’s better if I do as I’m told and distance myself from you.
“Since Your Majesty doesn’t like it, I’ll drop it,” She dejectedly crawled up and walked towards the palace exit, “I’ll live outside. I won’t bother Your Majesty.”
The Devil God was slightly surprised and watched her go out the door.
