Chapter 459 Three Lives and Three Worlds 3
Zhe Yan rarely comes to visit, but Donghua already knew the inside story from Jiang Xinxin, so when Zhe Yan showed up, he couldn't help but go to check on Zhe Yan. Unexpectedly, the first look was not a big deal, but the second look scared him so much that he almost dropped the teacup in his hand.
Donghua's sitting posture immediately changed from leaning with legs crossed to sitting upright and leaning towards Zheyan, "How many years have you not carefully checked your condition?!"
Zheyan's eyes were still on Jiang Xinxin, and he was just about to make a joke with her and Donghua, but Donghua said this in a hurry, and Zheyan was really confused.
However, Zhe Yan was very happy about his friend's concern, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. "You also know that I was too murderous in the past, and I have been cultivating myself in the Ten Mile Peach Forest these years."
Donghua was so disappointed: "What kind of self-cultivation can make you lose even your merits?!"
Zheyan was startled by Donghua and put the two jars of wine in his hands directly on the table, "How is it possible? I have devoted myself to the study of medicine over the years. Although I don't practice medicine to save people, I will never do anything to waste my merits!"
Jiang Xinxin also sighed and said to Zheyan, "Supreme God Zheyan, your own merits are almost gone, and even the luck of the bird tribe has been lost a lot. Think about it, is it a bit rare for the bird tribe to have even one supreme immortal?"
Zhihe was just preparing tea and snacks, because Zheyan was a guest, so she had to do all these things by herself. When she met Zheyan, the ancestor of the bird tribe, she immediately paid great respect to him. After hearing what Jiang Xinxin said, she immediately testified for Jiang Xinxin: "The emperor is right. Now, apart from you, the bird tribe has only produced some immortals in the 100,000 years after the pacification of the six realms. After so many years, only my daughter has cultivated to the level of an immortal under the protection of Taichen Palace."
Zheyan had already realized the seriousness of the matter. Without Donghua's persuasion, he quickly sat down cross-legged and carefully investigated. He really found that he now only had a little merit to help him suppress the surging evil energy in his body, and his luck was even more pitifully scarce than after he pacified the six realms.
Especially since Jiang Xinxin just said that as the ancestor of the bird clan, he had leaked a lot of the luck of the entire bird clan, which was really a great sin!
Zheyan looked unhappy, but Jiang Xinxin continued to talk to herself: "I heard that there were two phoenixes in total, one was Demon Ancestor Shao Wan, and the other was you, Supreme God Zheyan. But the strange thing is that Demon Ancestor Shao Wan was a demon, but you are a god and a demon at the same time. Logically speaking, there should be another phoenix that was born as a god."
Zhihe immediately thought of the little fire phoenix that Jiang Xinxin brought out of the Demon Locking Tower. The little guy looked like he had been hatched for quite some time, but after Jiang Xinxin removed all the evil spirits and the magic core in his heart, he transformed into a boy of seven or eight years old. It just so happened that he had the cultivation level of a Divine Lord when he transformed.
Zhi He couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart: "Emperor, is Little Fire Phoenix the other phoenix that you mentioned was born to be a god?"
Zheyan now remembered what Bai Qian had mentioned before. Along with Bai Fengjiu, there was also a possessed fire phoenix who was rescued from the Demon Tower by Jiang Xinxin.
No one felt sorry for Zheyan's dazed look. Donghua guessed that all his merits and fortune had been taken away by the Bai family of Qingqiu. Now that he had been reminded today, it was up to Zheyan himself as to what to do in the future.
Jiang Xinxin also felt that since the little fire phoenix had been rescued, the Phoenix clan would not be in danger of extinction. What Zheyan thought depended on him.
As for Zhihe, she had a grudge against Zheyan, the ancestor of the bird clan, especially knowing that the little fire phoenix almost hurt Bai Qian, who was still Si Yin. Bai Qian had such a close relationship with Zheyan but never mentioned it at all. It can be seen that Zheyan was not only a failure in the bird clan, but he was probably not a true friend of the Bai family in Qingqiu.
As for Jiang Xinxin, she doesn't care how many people's fortune and merits the Qingqiu Bai family has plotted against. Anyway, once the Three Lives Stone is restored, the emergence of the underworld will be just around the corner. By that time, the six realms will be truly formed, and retribution will be clearer. It is impossible for the Qingqiu Bai family to escape the reckoning of heaven.
What's more, Emperor Donghua is not easy to serve. Could it be that Supreme God Zheyan, who was of the same generation as him and made great efforts to pacify the six realms, would be easy to get along with?
No matter what, didn’t you see that Zheyan abandoned even his own phoenix nest, and never mentioned the bird tribe in these years, and watched Bai Zhen imprison Bifang as a mount.
Zheyan came in high spirits but left in despair. Bai Qian stayed in the Peach Forest waiting for news about Zheyan. Seeing that something was wrong with Zheyan, she grabbed him and asked, "Zheyan, is that Yuanshen Emperor so powerful? He doesn't even give you face!"
Zheyan is not a fool. He knows that he has very little merit and luck left. Even the bird tribe has lost a lot of merit and luck because of him. He immediately suspected the Bai family of Qingqiu. The reason is very simple. The person who can use such evil magic to steal his merit and luck must be someone he has been very close to over the years. Who else could it be if he chose Qingqiu Baizhi?
At this moment, they couldn't just turn against the Bai family, so Zhe Yan softened his expression and comforted Bai Qian, saying, "That Emperor Yuan Shen is indeed extraordinary. She is not as old as you, but in terms of cultivation and status, she is indeed on par with Donghua."
"I, the old phoenix, have been hiding in this ten-mile peach forest for these years without going out. Apart from those old people, who else would remember me?"
There is really nothing to say about the relationship between Bai Qian and Zheyan. Hearing Zheyan belittling himself like this, Bai Qian was really worried that Zheyan would be frustrated in front of Jiang Xinxin because of Bai Fengjiu. On the one hand, she became more wary of Jiang Xinxin because of this, but she was more afraid of Jiang Xinxin. After all, even Zheyan had been frustrated.
On the other hand, Bai Qian felt that regaining face was not a big deal in itself. She was just talking and the atmosphere was already there, so she instigated Zheyan to embarrass Jiang Xinxin. But now she failed to cause trouble and also implicated Zheyan. She couldn't help feeling guilty towards Zheyan.
Bai Qian comforted Zheyan, "He is the Eastern Emperor of Heaven, and I am just the Queen of Qingqiu. Xiaojiu is even a nameless little princess. Zheyan, you don't even have a proper name. Others only know that you are an ancient god, but have never heard of your great reputation. Let's not bother with a junior."
Bai Qian's words were a little unclear but she really meant it for Zheyan's own good. However, Zheyan had already become suspicious of the Bai family at this time, so Bai Qian's words would only make Zheyan overthink things.
Worried that Zheyan would lose face, Bai Qian said a few more words and went back to her fox cave. Bai Zhi and his wife had not left yet, and as soon as Bai Qian came back, they started asking her all kinds of questions.
Bai Qian was quite well-behaved in front of her parents, answering whatever they were asked. As a result, Bai Zhi and his wife only knew that Jiang Xinxin was more powerful than Zhe Yan. Even Zhe Yan was frustrated by her, which made them more jealous.
