Chapter 196: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 17
After Xufeng's denial, Runyu was cleared of the suspicion of wounding anyone.
Afterwards, the news that the God of Fire appeared on the banks of the Forgetful River and scared away 100,000 demon soldiers spread throughout the Heavenly Palace.
The Queen Mother wanted to use this opportunity to make Xu Feng the crown prince, but the Emperor was hesitant and refused to issue an order, and Xu Feng did not accept the proposal.
After walking out of the Jiufang Cloud Palace, the two brothers walked side by side on the road, and people around them made way for them.
Xu Feng looked at Runyu apologetically, and said in a tone full of apology: "Brother, I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged this time. Mother Goddess is just too worried about me."
Runyu no longer felt sad about Tu Yao's motherly love that never belonged to him, so he naturally wouldn't feel aggrieved because of her preference for someone.
After all, if you have never gotten it, you won't have any extravagant expectations and you won't feel disappointed.
Xu Feng lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on Runyu's arm, and asked with concern: "Brother, how is your injury? Do you want me to remove the fire magic for you?"
Runyu shook his head and smiled: "No need, Ah Xi has already helped me deal with it. It just looks scary, but it's actually nothing."
Hearing Ling Xi's name, Xu Feng felt like he had eaten bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
"That's fine," Xu Feng said absentmindedly, "Your and my physiques are mutually exclusive. If I force you to heal, you'll probably get hurt even more."
Runyu walked in front with his hands behind his back and said jokingly: "Water and fire have been incompatible since ancient times. You should save your spiritual power and do something else."
"Besides, the ice poison in your body has just been cured, so you should take good care of yourself. If the Mother God knew that you wanted to heal my wounds, I'm afraid she would scold me again."
Xu Feng chased after him, and the complicated feelings just now were swept away, and a happy mood filled his heart, "You also know that water and fire are incompatible, so why do you dare to come to save me?"
Runyu responded calmly: "It would be the same if it were you. We are all the same."
Looking at Xufeng beside him, Runyu said seriously, "Xufeng, everyone suspects that I harmed you, but you don't doubt it? Are you really not worried at all?"
"Of course I'm worried. If anything happens to me, you will be to blame. I didn't even have time to change my clothes before I rushed to rescue you." Xu Feng answered jokingly.
"Thank you very much for your kindness." Runyu bowed slightly to him.
The next moment, Xu Feng's expression changed, and he said seriously: "To be honest, your spiritual power is not weak, but you are still injured like this. It seems that the person who really wants to kill me must be very powerful. I am afraid that I can't fight against him with my own strength."
Runyu put down the white jade cup in his hand and asked, "What happened that day?"
Xu Feng stroked the porcelain white teacup and said, "At the critical moment of Nirvana that day, I suddenly felt my firepower weakening, and the surroundings were cold and I couldn't move. I could only use my internal force to break through the meridians in my body, and when the person who came was not prepared, I fell into the sea of clouds. I don't know anything else."
"This person is familiar with water magic, but is not afraid of the fire of Nirvana. It's really strange." Runyu lowered his head and thought, feeling a little puzzled.
Xu Feng: "I have already informed Father Emperor and Mother God that I will investigate this matter, in order to let the other party relax their vigilance, and then you will secretly help me track down and find the real culprit as soon as possible."
Runyu promised: "Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter, give you justice, and prove my innocence."
"By the way, I wonder if Ling Xi is in your Xuanji Palace. Can I go to His Majesty Ye Shen's palace for a meal today?" Xu Feng asked with a smile, his eyes seemed to be shining.
Runyu paused as he picked up the cup, and the next moment, he looked at Xufeng with a slightly complicated look in his eyes.
"Since His Highness the God of Fire has spoken, I naturally cannot refuse." When Runyu and Xufeng arrived at Xuanji Palace, Ling Xi was using his magic power to cook, controlling several pots at the same time. His efficiency was very high and it was not effortful at all.
Over the past thousand years, there have been only Ling Xi and Runyu in Xuanji Palace. Most of the meals in Xuanji Palace are cooked by Ling Xi, but sometimes Runyu also cooks when Ling Xi is too lazy to cook.
That's right, under Ling Xi's thousands of years of unremitting hard teaching, Runyu finally learned how to cook from a mess in the kitchen, and then successfully cooked delicious dishes. However, he never showed it in front of others. Only Ling Xi knew of his talent.
If other people knew that His Highness Ye Shen, the elegant and handsome gentleman, could cook delicious dishes in the kitchen, they would probably be shocked.
Xu Feng sat down in the backyard, gazing at the flowers all over the backyard of Xuanji Palace, the fruits and vegetables planted by Ling Xi herself, the various small animals she raised, the vines that were erected, the swings that were hung. Although they looked a little strange in this heavenly palace, and although there were only two people in Xuanji Palace, because of the existence of these, the palace seemed warm and lively, like a real home.
"Brother, Ling Xi is getting more and more lazy now. She used to cook by herself, but now she uses her spiritual power." Thinking of the scene just now, Xu Feng joked.
Runyu looked down at the flowers in the cup. The purple petals were spinning, floating, and then blooming in the water, which was very beautiful.
He chuckled: "Axi said that this can save energy and improve the control of spiritual power, so I have been using this method."
Xu Feng was helpless: "She always has ideas,"
After a while, the food was ready and placed on the table.
This was not the first time Xu Feng had eaten in Xuanji Palace, so his movements were very skilled.
After finishing the meal, Ling Xi picked some fruits from the yard, including juicy grapes, red peaches, and some fruits that Xuanji Palace already had. After washing the fruits, he placed them on the table.
Ling Xi made another pot of tea and poured a cup for Runyu and Xufeng.
After doing this, she followed the movements and sat down with them.
As they were acquaintances, Ling Xi asked Xu Feng with concern, "Your Highness the Fire God, I heard that Nirvana was beaten. Are you okay?"
Hearing Ling Xi's concern for him, Xu Feng was shocked and quickly replied: "It's okay, I look fine, do I look like something's wrong?"
Ling Xi nodded insincerely: "That's good."
Runyu could tell at a glance that Ling Xi had no intention of saying this at all, it was just a polite remark, so he remained silent.
After staying in Xuanji Palace for a while, Xu Feng left because he wanted to investigate the matter of the man in black.
Ling Xi held her face in her hands and rested her hands on the table, looking quite bored.
His black, round eyes like grapes were moving around, and it was obvious that he was not thinking about anything good.
Ling Xi was thinking about the scene of the Jiufang Cloud Palace that he saw today. The Emperor of Heaven and the Empress of Heaven were really good-for-nothings, especially the Emperor of Heaven, who was so cruel to his own son. He put the blame on Runyu without even investigating the matter.
Oh, how sad Runyu must have been at that time.
She needed to think carefully and prepare a surprise gift for the Emperor and Empress of Heaven to help Runyu vent his anger.
