Chapter 187: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 8
Seeing Xuanji Palace completely renovated, Runyu couldn't help but be surprised.

Of course, what surprised him even more were the blooming flowers.

The Flower Realm has implemented the Falling Flower Order against the Fairy Realm, and this is something known to all six realms.

But today, his Xuanji Palace is full of spring scenery.

At this moment, Runyu suddenly wondered, who is Ling Xi?

Could she be from the flower world?
But that's not right. He had read Ling Xi's records. She had clearly ascended from the mortal world, so how could she have any connection with the flower world?

"You're back."

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard the girl's sweet and lively voice.

Ling Xi sensed Runyu's return and ran out excitedly.

She happily asked the man in white in front of her, "How are these flowers, Your Highness? Do you want to change them to some that you like?"

Runyu stared into her sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but be infected by her joyful mood. He smiled warmly and said, "It looks very beautiful. Thank you Lingxi for your trouble."

Ling Xi clasped his hands awkwardly, "I thought you wouldn't like me decorating Xuanji Palace to look like a vegetable garden."

"Actually, I originally wanted to decorate it like a garden for you, but the food sent by the Heavenly Palace Kitchen was too bad, so I thought of making a vegetable garden myself, growing some vegetables rich in spiritual power, and then we can cook and eat them ourselves. Not only will it taste good, but it will also have high spiritual power."

This is true on the surface, but in reality, when Ling Xi saw such a large piece of land with no flowers and nothing planted, such as vegetables, fruits, etc., she felt unhappy and seemed to feel that something was missing.

Whenever I see an empty space, I want to plant something. This habit seems to be engraved in my bones.

Hearing Ling Xi's angry words, Runyu couldn't help but laugh: "That's good."

"But why can you make the flowers bloom?" Runyu suddenly asked Ling Xi, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes that he himself did not even notice.

Ling Xi thought to himself that as expected, he was going to ask himself this question, so he answered: "You mean this? The technique I practice is like this. When I was in the human world, I would also make trees bloom."

Hearing that it was a special technique, Runyu breathed a sigh of relief, that was good.

But worried, Runyu couldn't help but remind him: "Then don't display your skills in front of outsiders. This heavenly palace hasn't bloomed for several years. It would be bad if someone found out."

Afraid that Ling Xi would think too much, Runyu added: "Of course, you can do whatever you want in Xuanji Palace, it's okay."

Ling Xi: “Yes.”

"By the way, Your Highness, are you hungry? I cooked some food using the vegetables grown in this field. Would you like to try it?" Ling Xi looked expectant.

Runyu was reluctant to reject those eyes that showed expectation for him, so he smiled and nodded slightly, "Okay."

Ling Xi was very happy. She hadn't cooked for a while and wondered if her cooking skills had declined.

During this period of time, she has been acting very low-key in the Heavenly Palace. Now that she is only a high-level immortal, she tries not to provoke others. After all, she feels that she should be unable to defeat the Emperor of Heaven, the Empress of Heaven, and the person behind the scenes. If she can't beat them, then she will just stay hidden and slowly become stronger.

But during these days, she also found out the situation in the Heavenly Palace and the forces of all parties.

Emperor Taiwei was not originally the best candidate for the position, but Lian Chao, the best candidate for the position, died in a battle with the demons. So Taiwei, who was lucky enough to be the emperor, became the candidate. Later, he married Princess Tuyao of the bird tribe and ascended to the position of emperor with the help of the bird tribe. But at the same time, because the power of Queen Tuyao was too great, the Emperor was extremely dissatisfied. Therefore, the Emperor wanted to weaken the power of the bird tribe and made it clear that he would destroy the bridge after crossing the river.

In addition, Emperor Taiwei is a playboy, fickle-minded, and a womanizer. He is a real playboy.

He had a romantic affair with his former Flower Goddess Zifen, and even imprisoned the Flower Goddess in Qiwu Palace. He also granted his rival, the Water God, a marriage contract with the Wind God.

All in all, this Emperor of Heaven is a real scumbag.

However, Ling Xi knew that Lian Chao was not dead and that what he did was done in secret.

The Queen of Heaven, Tu Yao, was born into a tribe of birds. Her true form is a phoenix. She has great cultivation power and is arrogant. She led the tribe of birds to help Taiwei ascend to the position of Emperor of Heaven. With the support of the powerful tribe of birds, she holds real power in the Heavenly Palace. On the surface, she and the Emperor of Heaven are respectful to each other, but in fact, they have their own thoughts.

But she was jealous of Taiwei for having other women around him. She could not tolerate any other woman and was willing to be cruel to any woman Taiwei liked.

The Second Prince, Xu Feng, was born to the Queen Mother, and his true form is also a phoenix. He is favored by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and is the pride of the Heavenly Palace. Most people believe that he will be the next Emperor. He has now entered the military camp and taken over the military power.

The other person is the eldest prince Runyu, who was brought back from outside by the Queen Mother. No one knows who his biological mother is. At the beginning, before Xufeng was born, he was raised by the Queen Mother.

After the second prince Xufeng was born, the Queen Mother disliked the eldest prince in every way.

His Highness is not favored in the palace. Compared to Xu Feng, who is the apple of everyone's eye, His Highness is like an invisible man.

Therefore, the current situation in the fairy world is that the Emperor of Heaven controls everything and is still very powerful. The Queen Mother and the Second Prince have the bird tribe behind them and should not be underestimated. The First Prince has nothing and not many people care about him.

As for the Water Tribe, Wind Tribe and Flower Realm, they all remain neutral and do not get involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Palace.

"Ling Xi." Runyu looked at Ling Xi, who had a dazed expression and was obviously distracted. He felt helpless as how could he be distracted while walking?

Ling Xi was thinking about something and was naturally a little distracted, so she didn't hear Runyu until he called her several times.

She came back to her senses and asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Runyu: "Nothing."

Ling Xi brought out the food she had cooked and placed it in the pavilion in the backyard.

There were stir-fried beef, sweet and sour pork, boiled chicken, water shield and fish soup, a dish of moonlight over the lotus pond, a dish of vinegar and stir-fried cabbage, and a bowl of pork rib soup.

Every dish is delicious and tasty, and the ingredients are all grown and planted by Ling Xi himself, so they are very fresh, and the food is rich in spiritual power.

The fragrance quickly spread throughout the backyard.

"Your Highness, please sit down and try my cooking." Ling Xi pushed Runyu, who was standing in a daze, to sit down.

Runyu couldn't help feeling dazed when he saw this scene. He hadn't seen such a popular scene for a long time.

During the time when he was raised by the Mother Goddess, although the Mother Goddess disliked him, she did not treat him harshly. At that time, he truly regarded the Mother Goddess as his own mother.

Later, when Xu Feng was born, the Mother Goddess was afraid that he would take Xu Feng's place, so he was sent to this remote Xuan Ji Palace, and no one cared about him from then on.

Sometimes, he would envy the lively scene of Xu Feng having meals with his father, the emperor, and the mother goddess. The three of them were like a family, while he was just an outsider who didn't fit in.
