329 Settling
Dafeng smiled and fell to Jiang Xi’s feet with a full stomach. The White-robed old man rushed over quickly and looked at Dafeng at Jiang Xi’s feet. “Your Highness, what have you been through? How did it become like this?! What have you done to our Phoenix King?”
Jiang Xi was smiling. What had it experienced? It was just eaten more than 70 roast geese, more than 10 wild boars, and two cows…
The Phoenix King had been raised into a mortal creature, and it was the kind that only ate meat. Everyone in the saintess’ palace was stunned. Phoenixes refused to be reborn. In the past hundreds of years, there had not been a single phoenix that had successfully been reborn. Phoenixes had disappeared from the world generation after generation, unable to fly to the nine heavens and become a divine bird. Now, was Jiang Xi telling them that the reason why phoenixes could not become divine birds was because they did not eat meat?! The white-robed old man was so angry that he had a heart attack and fainted on the spot!
As a person who had been raising phoenixes for generations, it would be the proudest thing to raise a divine bird that could achieve Nirvana, a divine bird that could protect the Xilan Nation. But now, the divine bird that had successfully achieved Nirvana was someone else’s!
The saintess was also a little dumbfounded. She found Jiang Xi very familiar, but she could not believe it. She could only follow behind him timidly, wishing that no one would think of her.
“Saintess, you can ride in the same carriage with Miss Jiang Xi.” The imperial preceptor pulled the saintess and pushed her into the carriage, ignoring her gaze. Jiang Xi walked up to them, and the people of the saintess’ palace did not dare to say anything. Because Dafeng had eaten too much, the fishy smell in his mouth was chased away by Jiang Xi, who had asked him to lose weight. Everyone clutched their hearts at his brutal appearance. Their Phoenix had always been high and mighty, but now, she was running with her short legs, panting and exhausted, following behind the carriage. It was so pitiful…
The saintess’ head drooped, her heart beating fast, and she was in a bad mood. She lowered her head and mumbled, “It’s Zhao Gudu… Ah, no, Zhao Dengqi… He’s only waiting for his wife.” Zhao Dengqi, who had lived seven lonely lives waiting for a woman, was dazzling on the stage, but was an unlucky guy when he was off stage. Every time he held a concert, he had to increase the security by dozens of times to ensure his safety. A murderer was even hiding in the crowd just to watch his concert. The scene of the arrest was in chaos. The live broadcast of the arrest caused a sensation all over the world! There was also a big boss in the hacker world who hacked into Zhao Dengqi’s home system just to see his nude photos. It was said that the big boss was also an overseas criminal who was being arrested. In the end, he was successfully arrested in Zhao Dengqi’s bathroom. Countless socialites and ladies in Jing City had taken a fancy to Zhao Dengqi. After entering the entertainment industry, there were even men who had taken a fancy to him. In the end, all of them were met with unexpected mishaps and did not end well… It could be said that when people saw it, people would decline, flowers would wither, cars would burst tires, and criminals would meet a God who could be arrested…
Jiang Xi seemed to have fallen into her memories. She pursed her lips and seemed to be smiling.
“Have you forgotten what happened to those who touched Zhao Dengqi’s men?” Jiang Xi crossed his arms in front of her chest, as if she was interrogating a prisoner.
“The woman who was after Zhao Dengqi was triggered by her father’s death.” The saintess trembled. “she danced at her father’s grave and was killed by her brother.”
The saintess continued, “There was also an archaeologist who was unlucky enough to find her ancestor’s grave. She even righteously brought her ancestor’s remains to the museum for people to visit. Later, her father brought his family over and beat her up. In the end, the woman fell into her ancestor’s coffin and was pierced by the skeleton’s fingers.
The more the saintess spoke, the more frightened she became. She held her head in her hands and looked pitiful.
“So, you touched my man, Director…” Jiang Xi looked at the saintess coldly and expressionlessly. The saintess, who had boasted shamelessly that she wanted to snatch her husband away from her, knelt down and hugged Jiang Xi’s thigh. “I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I ate a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall to touch your man, Boss. I really know I was wrong. I was just acting cool. Those words were all nonsense. You can treat me like a fart and let me go!”
