Ben Wang Zai Ci / The Legend of Shen Li

Chapter 25 Stay to Recuperate

Xing Zhi's expression became more serious: "I really can't get out this time."

"Is it fun to tease people?"

"Funny." Seeing the veins on Shen Li's forehead twitching, Xing Zhi finally couldn't help but smile softly and asked, "Why do you always think I'm lying to you?"

"Aren't you always lying to me!" Shen Li accused sternly, "When you said you can't find the way, you need someone to lead you. When you let go, the water avoidance technique will be ineffective. What kind of protector is there? Everything is a lie, isn't it? "

Xing Zhi blinked: "When you say it this way, it seems to be true." He smiled slightly, "But isn't this incident all to remove the miasma from your body? How can Her Lordship still be ungrateful?"

Shen Li took a deep breath, suppressed the evil fire in her heart, and said calmly: "Thank you very much for saving me, Lord Xing Zhi, so let's go out."

Xing Zhi sighed, unable to resist Shen Li. He stretched out his hand to roll up his wide sleeves. Shen Li took a closer look and discovered that something had bitten a row of bloody marks on Xing Zhi's arm. Black miasma burst out from the wound, looking extremely terrifying. Shen Li took a slight breath and looked up at Xing Zhi. He put down his sleeves and shook his head helplessly: "Look, I didn't want to take it out to scare you."

"This is……"

"While handling the seal of fire, I was accidentally injured by monsters. They wanted to disturb my pure power in order to weaken the power of the seal." Xingyun said: "But they don't know that now that the seal is completed, even if I die here, the seal will not disappear. Unless another thousand years pass."

Shen Li was slightly startled when she heard his explanation: "Xu Tianyuan is a one-layer seal. However, even the divine power cannot sustain such a large seal for a long time, so I followed the power of nature and took the five elements to form a two-layer seal. Among the two seals, I took the fire seal and placed it in the Xutian Abyss, so that the two seals merged with each other. On the one hand, those who wanted to break the seal would not be able to break the seal instantly, whether from the outside or from the inside. In order to protect the person who seals the seal gains reaction time. Secondly, it makes the first-level seal more stable and long-lasting by relying on the power of nature from the mountains, rivers and land. However, the power of nature is not inexhaustible. Thousands of years have exhausted the spiritual energy here. So, I come and bless the spiritual energy here to make the sealing power stronger."

"After reshaping the seal, this place will rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to follow the natural way and lock away the miasma." Xing Zhi shook his arm, "So, I can't get out until the wound heals. As for you... "Xing Zhi said, "The miasma poison has been removed from your body, but the miasma is everywhere in the Xu Tianyuan, and the body of the demons has no ability to purify. It is easy for the miasma to attach to you. Although it has little effect on you, the seal will not let you out. If I am not injured, I can still help you get rid of the miasma and take you out. As for now..."

Anyway, they have to wait until his hand is healed before they can leave... 

Shen Li frowned: "When will this injury heal?"

Xing Zhi said in an understated tone: "It will be quick, just take a walk around twice." After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and stared at Shen Li with a smile, "Don't be afraid, if you are late, I will go to the royal capital with you when you return, just explain it clearly to the Demon Lord. I will definitely not let her punish you unjustly."

He raised his hand as if to pat Shen Li on the head, but when she turned her head, he just patted Shen Li on the shoulder and smiled reassuringly.

Shen Li stared at him in confusion as she pulled away and wanted to hold it in, but in the end, she still couldn't hold it in. She blurted out to his back and asked: "Is it possible... when Shenjun is sleeping on a certain time, let your spiritual consciousness turn into a human being and live a lifetime in the lower world?"

Xing Zhi didn't stop, walking leisurely in front: "Maybe." Realizing that Shen Li didn't follow, Xing Zhi turned to look at her, "What?"

Shen Li stared at him and smiled suddenly, half sarcastically and half self-deprecating: "It's okay, it's just that the Lord God...occasionally reminds me of my old friend."

"Really." Xing Zhi continued walking forward leisurely, "There are really very few people who are similar to me."

"That's not true."

There was silence in the darkness for a long time, and the white figure in front walked forward, as if he would never stop: "King Bi Cang." He suddenly said, "Being too persistent with people and things is never a good thing.”

Shen Li lowered her eyes: "Shen Li, thanks Shenjun for your guidance."

Shen Li took a step behind Xing Zhi, but accidentally discovered that in this pitch black, there was no scenery that could take her attention away from Xing Zhi, whether it was the swinging arc of his clothes or the swaying of his hair. The way the footsteps rippled became the only thing that could be noticed.

"But I heard that the prince had escaped from marriage before." Xing Zhi suddenly asked, "Can you tell me why you don't want to accept this marriage?"

When this topic was mentioned, Shen Li immediately frowned and snorted coldly: "What do you think of the red apricot tree that is almost plucked bald by outsiders? And as the thirty-third grandson of the Emperor of Heaven, a man can live over a thousand years, and he has never made any military merits, nor participated in political affairs, but he has learned some skills in ruining girls! If this man is a descendant of Shen Li, he must be chopped into pieces to eliminate this harm to the devil world!"

Hearing what she said so righteously, Xing Zhi couldn't help but cover his lips with a smile: "Furong Jun is still not that unbearable. He doesn't just abuse girls..." 

Before Xing Zhi finished speaking, Shen Li became even more angry: "No matter who he is, he and I have never met each other, so how can we talk about getting married! If it weren't for the divine Lord who messed up the mandarin duck genealogy, how would I have ended up in that situation! I haven't asked you yet, why did you choose me this marriage!"

"Because..." Xing Zhi raised his head and didn't know where to look, "It feels like a good match."

"Ah... ha... sneeze!" In the heavenly palace, Furong Jun, who was taking a bath in the bathtub sprinkled with flower petals, sneezed inexplicably. The servant next to him immediately handed over a towel and said: "The immortal king feels that the water is cold already?"

Furong Jun waved his hand and said: "Go get me some food." The servant beside him responded. As soon as he reached the door, the wooden door was violently knocked open, and another servant stumbled in from the outside in panic: " Immortal Lord! Immortal Lord!"

Furong Jun quickly scolded: "Stop! You are covered in dirt! Don't dirty my holy bathing place!"

The servant had no choice but to stand outside the screen and bow and said: "Immortal Lord, someone from the demon world has just come to report that the monster beast that ran out of the Xutian Abyss has been killed by the Bi Cang King! Immortal Lord, do you know? I heard that King Bi Cang had red eyes and stabbed to death a monster as big as the Heavenly Palace with one shot! Then she devoured the monster's flesh alive! She was covered in blood!"

Furong Jun was so horrified that his face turned pale. He hurriedly pulled the clothes by the pool and wrapped himself around him. He ran outside the screen with his bare feet, grabbed the servant's skirt, and said in a trembling voice: "Seriously?"

"It's absolutely true!"

"Alright... get ready! Don't prepare for me yet! I'm going to meet the Emperor of Heaven!"

It is said that Furong Jun howled "Grandson doesn't want to die!" for a long time in front of the Emperor's chamber that day. In the end, he was dragged back from the Heavenly Palace by the Emperor's attendants.

That night, Furong Jun struggled up from the bed: "No!" He said, "I have to go to the devil world to see with my own eyes. No matter what happens... no matter how bad it is, I can't die tragically on the wedding day!"
