Accompanying the Phoenix

Chapter 47.2

“You can’t make any changes.” Shen Li gritted her teeth, “Nothing at all, you must live to the end of your life.”

Xing Zhi lowered his head and smiled: “This is natural, you don’t even need to mention. What’s more, I am the only god in the outer sky today, and the entire outer sky is maintained by my divine power. If something happens to me, the outer sky will be overturned, and all the stars and rocks will fall on the nine-layer heavens (the heaven where they are right now), it will surely cause the collapse of the nine heavens and endanger the people of the world.” 

Xing Zhi said lightly, but he pressed a heavier stone on Shen Li’s heart. Thinking of what Youlan said to her, hen Li lowered her eyebrows. She was right, she couldn’t risk it. No one could bear the cost of losing him, it’s not only his life that he is protecting but all lives in the three realms, such a heavy responsibility. It’s really hard to bear…

“So.” Xing Zhi spoke softly, his expression was extremely bland, but his emotions were surging in his eyes were reflected in the bright galaxy, and he said every word clearly,

 “Shen Li, I can’t like you.” 

The warning in his words was so obvious, but she didn’t know who exactly he was warning, Shen Li, or himself. 

Shen Li’s heart twitched inexplicably, she turned her head:

 “The God is joking, how can Shen Li dare to have any illusions about the God now? As long as the god stops teasing Shen Li from time to time…”

“I can’t control it.” Xin g Zhi suddenly interrupted Shen Li’s words, but he said with a smile knowing that he was being irresponsible “I can’t help it, I want to tease you.”

This guy…

Shen Li clenched her fists, the anger that surged upwards, made her turn her head, stare straight at Xing Zhi, her tone was cold, and she didn’t even bother to use the honorific title: 

“What do you mean?” 

He said that he has a heavy responsibility and cannot be moved. He was the one pushing her away, and he was also the one bringing her closer. Shen Li couldn’t bear it anymore, and couldn’t bear it at this time.

 “What’s wrong with you!?” (TL/note: Shen Li dear, would you pls turn into a phoenix and peck his eyes out for me?)

Xing Zhi stopped and nodded: “I was about to ask you, is there something wrong with me ?”

Is this… he is admitting to it…?

Shen Li stared at Xing Zhi, and she suddenly thought “is this really happening?” All kinds of emotions flooded her heart, and she couldn’t find any word to say. There was silence in the room for a while, and even the spiritual tablets flew back to their positions.

Only then did Shen Li slowly react to the meaning of Xing Zhi, and then suddenly realized that this person was really despicable. His words are so ambiguous, but the meaning behind them is so clear: The right thing would be not have any emotions at all.

But he said he couldn’t do it, then…Shen Li nodded suddenly: “That’s it.”

 She took a deep breath, held the suffocation in her chest, stared at Xing Zhi, and said, with a powerful voice, “This king will stop giving this kind of trouble to High God.”

This is not something she can control alone, but what can be done? The person who takes the heavy responsibility of the entire world is already this shameless in front of her… The only solution is to let her do it; Azure King will not second-guess things anymore.

Xing Zhi smiled: “Azure King” Xing Zhi looked sideways into Shen Li’s dark pupils, filled with stars, making Xing Zhi lost for a moment. 

He turned his head and blinked, “Just Looking at you… I think It is necessary to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.”

Shen Li sneered, “Thins King will Definitely live up to High Gods trust.” She turned around to go, but she stopped suddenly when he called her out: “King…”

Shen Li paused, waited for a while, and then Xing Zhi said:

 “There is still something I have to ask for” Before Shen Li could agreed, he said,

 “I don’t know how long I have lived or when my life will expire, but if one day, my deity disappear and become the vitality of heaven and earth, leaving a spiritual tablet here, I hope that the King will visit and clean up in your free time.”

No matter how great her determination was, Shen Li couldn’t help but turn back slightly at this time: “Why me?” 

Xing Zhi smiled: “Because I want to see you.”

 Because, even if one day he dies, he still wants Shen Li to come and see him, so he can remember these feelings, and if she came to visit, maybe she will think of him too.

 If she forgets him… then he would be too lonely.
