Chapter 925 [Fragrant Honey 10]
When Xu Feng heard what Yuexia Xianren said, his expression suddenly became serious, and he quickly said, "Uncle, please stop talking nonsense! How can the Emperor be seen just by saying so? Have you forgotten the painful lesson you learned before?"
When Yuexiaxian heard this, he felt as if he had been poked in a sore spot. His face turned pale instantly, and he shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say another word. He recalled that he had once been struck by thunder for three days and three nights just because he said something too much. That was a feeling worse than death. After suffering such a severe injury, he lay in bed for a long thousand years before he recovered.
On this side, Xu Feng no longer paid attention to the dumbfounded Yue Xia Xian Ren, stretched out his hand to grab Jin Mi, and turned away without looking back. Along the way, Jin Mi kept struggling, shouting: "Phoenix, let go of my hand, where are you taking me? What are you doing?" However, no matter how she protested, Xu Feng remained unmoved, just tightly holding her wrist, and walked without stopping.
Only when they reached a deserted place did Xu Feng slowly stop and loosen his grip on Jin Mi's hand. He said to her solemnly, "I'm doing this for your own good. You'd better give up the idea of provoking the Emperor. The Emperor is not someone who will meet just anyone. Besides, as far as I know, the Emperor has not appeared in the world for many years. Even if you want to look for him, it will be in vain, so don't waste your energy."
When Jin Mi heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She choked and said, "Phoenix, but the Emperor may really be the only hope to save Rourou! I must try no matter what. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will never give up. Phoenix, please help me, please..." As she said that, she fell to her knees with a plop, clasped her hands together, and looked at Xu Feng pitifully.
Seeing this, Xu Feng's heart softened, but he was still a little hesitant. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "This matter is of great importance. Let me think about it carefully."
On the other side, in Xuanji Palace in the Ninth Heaven, Runyu and Youyou were sitting opposite each other, with a chessboard placed between them, and black and white chess pieces were scattered on it. At this time, Runyu picked up a white piece and gently placed it on the chessboard, then raised his head, looked at Youyou opposite him tenderly, and said softly: "Master, so many years have passed, where have you been? Runyu really misses you very much."
Youyou smiled slightly, dropped the black piece in his hand, and said slowly: "Runyu, I believe you also know. After the death of the first flower god, the flower world ordered that the stamens in the six realms should not bloom. As a result, the human world lost the food source provided by flowers. Seeing countless people displaced and suffering from hunger and cold, the master really couldn't bear to stand by and watch. So all these years, the master has stayed in the human world and guarded it with all his heart, so as to prevent the human world from falling into chaos."
Hearing this, Runyu showed concern on his face and said quickly: "Master, if you knew this earlier, you should have told me! In this way, Runyu can also help you."
Youyou shook her head slightly and replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a mere ten thousand years. Besides, this matter can be handled by me alone, why should I bother you?"
Runyu nodded slightly to show his understanding, but then he asked again: "Then Master, after returning this time, will you leave again?"
Youyou thought for a moment, and then replied: "From the current point of view, he will not leave."
Hearing this, Runyu's face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly said, "That's great! Since Master is not leaving, he can always be with Runyu and talk to me about his inner thoughts. Over the years, apart from the Nightmare Beast who occasionally listens to me, only Xufeng and Suihe can chat with me."
At this moment, Youyou suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Runyu, has your mother never taken care of you in all these years?"
"Alas, my mother is now busy having a second child with my father. How can she have the time to take care of me!" Runyu sighed helplessly.
"What? So many years have passed, and she hasn't given up the idea yet?" Youyou asked in surprise.
Runyu frowned slightly and recalled, "Yes, a few years ago, when you were traveling, my father suddenly arranged a marriage for me. He said that after the Water God and the Wind God have a child, they will marry me. At that time, I wanted to refuse the marriage, but my mother insisted that I accept it."
"So, you are planning to cancel this engagement now?" Youyou looked at Runyu thoughtfully and asked.
Runyu nodded, a trace of earnestness in his eyes, and said: "That's right, I beg Master to help me get rid of this marriage. After all, this marriage is just a meaningless decoration to me. Not to mention that the Water God and the Wind God have never had a child in these years. Even if they really have a daughter, I am afraid that there will be no true love between me and her."
Youyou smiled lightly and said jokingly, "Oh? From what you said, could it be that you, Runyu, already have someone you like in your heart, so you are anxious to ask your master to help you cancel the engagement?"
"No, I just don't want to be restricted by an engagement. If I meet someone I really like in the future, won't I be unable to stay with him/her forever? So it's better to cancel this engagement." Runyu said calmly, but his slightly flickering eyes revealed a barely perceptible expectation.
"Okay, since you said so, Master will definitely solve this matter properly for you someday." Youyou responded readily. She looked at the handsome and elegant disciple in front of her, and a trace of pity arose in her heart.
After a moment of silence, Runyu suddenly raised his head, looked straight at Youyou, and asked softly, "Master, do you have someone you like?"
Hearing this, Youyou was stunned at first, then a bright smile blossomed on her face, and she said coquettishly: "What? You little brat actually set your sights on me?"
Runyu quickly waved his hands and explained: "No, no, please don't misunderstand, Master. I am just simply curious. After all, the six realms are vast and boundless, who can catch your eye? What's more, you have great magical powers and extraordinary strength. It seems that no one in the six realms can compete with you." After saying this, his eyes revealed deep admiration for Youyou.
Youyou smiled slightly, flicked her sleeves and said: "I don't have the heart to look for those stinky men. Well, Runyu, your master has noticed that you have an distinguished guest coming, so I'll leave here first." Before she finished speaking, Youyou's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving only a faint shadow.
Runyu looked at the direction where Youyou left, feeling annoyed. He was about to get the answer that he had been curious about for a long time from his master, but he didn't expect that his master would suddenly disappear. What a waste of time!
At this moment, Xu Feng and Jin Mi appeared here. He saw Runyu staring at a certain place absentmindedly, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled, and asked quickly: "Runyu, Runyu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Hearing Xufeng's call, Runyu came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He calmed down and said slowly: "It's okay, I was just distracted for a moment. But Xufeng, why did you suddenly come here today? Who is this person?"
Xu Feng smiled slightly and explained quickly: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to introduce her to you. Runyu, this is my good friend Jin Mi, and now she is my personal servant." After saying that, he patted Jin Mi's shoulder gently.
Seeing this, Jin Mi hurriedly and politely bowed to Runyu and said hello: "Hello, Your Highness Yeshen!"
Runyu nodded slightly and replied softly, "Well, no need to be polite, please take a seat quickly."
After that, Xu Feng and Jin Mi sat down next to each other. Xu Feng glanced casually and saw two sets of exquisite tea sets on the table. He speculated in his heart and asked, "Runyu, judging from this, were you chatting with someone just now? Could it be that the emperor has come to visit?"
Runyu nodded and responded, "It is just as you expected, but Master has something important to attend to and has left first."
Xu Feng suddenly realized, and then said: "I see. By the way, Runyu, I came all the way to find you this time because I really have something to ask of you."
When Runyu heard this, he showed a hint of surprise on his face, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: "Why should we be so polite between brothers? Just tell me what you want to say."
Xu Feng hesitated for a moment, then pointed at Jin Mi beside him and said, "This matter is not about me, but Jin Mi wants you to lend a helping hand."
