As if there was murderous intent piercing into his flesh, Furong Jun silently took a step back. This person...he was sweating profusely. This person was definitely not a woman he could marry back!
If Furong Jun had any illusions about Shen Li before, now his illusions were gone. He cleared his throat and said with force, "I, I just heard that the demon world was filled with miasma due to the escape of monsters from the Xutian Abyss, so I kindly came to help the demon realm get rid of the miasma. How could Her Lordship do this..." He paused and then said in a more euphemistic way, "You're welcome!"
Shen Li narrowed her eyes and looked him up and down. He had a girly look on his face and was dressed in fancy clothes. He even tied her hair into a bun with a blinding golden dragon and jade hairpin. She immediately sneered: "The Immortal Lord is joking."
In addition to being often disliked by his imperial grandfather, Furong Jun had repeatedly looked at the ninety-nine heavens to see which immortal dared to look at him with such eyes. He felt annoyed and raised his voice: "What do you mean! Do you understand me? You look down on my sincere intention! No other Immortal Lord dares to say that if you want to talk about the ability to purify, except Lord Xing Zhi, who in the world..."
"Stop arguing." Xing Zhi said suddenly. He looked at Furong Jun indifferently, "Does the Emperor of Heaven know that the Immortal Lord is in the Demon Realm this time?"
Furong Jun glanced at Xing Zhi and scratched his head unnaturally. Although this divine God always had a calm expression and occasionally showed a gentle smile, when he spoke to him, Furong Jun would subconsciously tighten his skin, replied politely: "I told the Emperor of Heaven of course. Grandpa Emperor also asked me to stay here longer to help the demon people."
The excuse is just to let him establish a relationship with Shen Li! Everybody present knew the meaning behind it, but they were too lazy to reveal it.
Shen Li rubbed her forehead, thinking that she would have to stay under the same roof with Furong Jun for the next few days. Suddenly, the person behind her said solemnly: "It's so good. It's still early today. Furong Jun has just taken a bath and purified himself. He is clear and clean. This is a good momentum for the benefit of the people." He pointed to the courtyard door, "Hurry up, Immortal Lord. Let’s go out.”
"Eh!" Furong Jun was stunned, and Shen Li looked at Xing Zhi slightly in surprise. She knew that benefiting the people was just an excuse. Shenjun, is he... Shen Li realized that he was bullying Furong Jun.
"When I came here just now, I saw that the miasma was a little stronger in the southeast corner of the capital. Furong Jun might as well go there today to have a look." He pointed out the place and asked Furong Jun to get off the tiger. He only nodded and accepted his fate: "Okay. Shenjun..."
After Furong Jun left, Shen Li couldn't help but ask: "Has he ever offended the Divine Lord?"
"Why did Her Lordship say this?"
"No... I just feel that the Divine Lord seems to be bullying him."
He stopped, smiled but said nothing. Shen Li didn't want to ask any more questions and asked Rouya to prepare hot water, then went back to the room to take a bath.
When there was no one in the small courtyard, Xing Zhi rubbed her eyebrows with one hand and murmured to herself: "I just... couldn't help but get a little angry when I saw him." With a sigh, Xing Zhi smiled lowly, "This, what exactly is going on."
Shen Li packed herself up and entered the Demon Palace with a fresh look. At the right time, General Shang Bei rushed to report the news and placed it on the demon lord's table. After reading what Shang Bei wrote, before the Demon Lord could call Qingyan and Chirong, she heard a waiter outside the door announcing: "Your Majesty, Her Lordship and Lord Xing Zhi are here."
