How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 179 - 180: Bygone Days (Part 2)

Love starts unknowingly, but grows deep.

Matters of the heart are always fierce and passionate, especially for a Divine Beast deeply ensnared in love.

Liu Junhui had been together with the Little Phoenix for a while now, and his time spent in the Mountain and Sea Realm was growing longer.

People are greedy, and Divine Beasts are no exception. In fact, they possess an even more domineering possessiveness than humans.

One night, Liu Junhui finished a social engagement he couldn’t avoid.

To spend more time with the Little Phoenix, instead of preparing himself after coming home like usual before meeting his sweetheart, he went straight into the Mountain and Sea Realm in his clothes from the evening’s engagement.

At that time, Liu Junhui’s spiritual power was strong enough for him to directly enter the Mountain and Sea Realm, unlike Ruan Xingwen, who could only enter the Mountain and Sea Illusion Realm.

The moment she saw Liu Junhui, the initially somewhat gloomy Little Phoenix instantly bloomed into a smile and flew directly in front of Liu Junhui, hugging him.

But in the instant of hugging Liu Junhui, the Little Phoenix stiffened, her face darkening abruptly, she pushed Liu Junhui away, walked to the side of an unknown Spirit Tree, and refused to look at Liu Junhui.

Liu Junhui was dumbfounded, not knowing what this little creature was sulking about again.

"What’s wrong, darling?"

The Little Phoenix loved it when Liu Junhui called her that, always blushing, raising her chin proudly, secretly delighted.

But today, upon hearing this term of endearment, there was no reaction, leaving Liu Junhui even more puzzled.

Walking to the Little Phoenix’s side, wanting to pull her into his embrace, the Little Phoenix broke free from his hand.

"What’s really wrong?"

This unreasonable tantrum wasn’t the first time. Each time, the Little Phoenix’s mood would suddenly flare up, refusing to listen to his explanation, just throwing a fit.

Initially, Liu Junhui found this side of the Little Phoenix charming, but as it happened more often, he began to feel a bit exasperated.

Adding to that were the words his father said during the social engagement, which made his temper a little uncontrollable.

"Can you stop being so unreasonable?"

The Little Phoenix turned back incredulously, her gaze carrying a trace of hurt.

"You shouted at me..."

In this state, Liu Junhui’s anger evaporated completely. In the end, it wasn’t the Little Phoenix he was angry with.

It was his father’s words.

"Jun Hui, this is your Uncle Qi’s daughter, come over and meet her."

His father, having pulled Liu Junhui, who was chatting with partners, to his side, smilingly introduced the girl beside him.

Liu Junhui glanced at the girl; she was quite pretty, but not as good-looking as he, let alone the Little Phoenix.

He shook her hand as a formality, "Hello, I’m Liu Junhui."

The girl, somewhat shy, sweetly said, "Hello, I’m Qi Yating."

After the introduction, Liu Junhui prepared to leave. He knew his father’s intentions, simply wanting to introduce a girlfriend.

Noticing his intent to leave, Mr. Liu quickly called out:

"Jun Hui, show Yating around. I’m getting old and won’t join you."

Mr. Liu forcibly handed Qi Yating over to Liu Junhui, turning back to his group of old friends to continue chatting and drinking.

Liu Junhui, looking at the woman pretending to be shy in front of him, felt at a loss.

Is his father truly so blind he can’t see she practically has money signs in her eyes? Clearly here for their family’s wealth...

"Don’t even think about it. I already have a fiancée."

Qi Yating was taken aback, not expecting Liu Junhui to be so direct.

But she quickly reacted, continuing with a smiling face, nonchalantly saying:

"A fiancée doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll be the Third Young Master Liu’s wife, does it? Our family backgrounds match; why not join forces? I don’t care how many women you have outside, just don’t let the family find out. Third Young Master, what do you think?"

After Qi Yating spoke, she had a smug expression. In her understanding, such propositions were quite normal, even her father had not lacked women in his youth.

These indeed were common in their circles.

The only difference... probably was that Liu Junhui was more attractive than all of them.

"Tsk."

The mocking snort brought Qi Yating back to reality.

She looked at the beautiful man whose face bore sarcasm.

"Don’t lump me with the likes of you. You degrade yourselves and want to drag others down?"

His unsparing words made Qi Yating’s face flush a deep red, threatening to turn a dark purple.

"You!"

"What about me?"

Liu Junhui leaned back lazily, responding nonchalantly.

"Don’t be so arrogant! Do you think no one can handle you?!"

Despite her anger, Qi Yating maintained the elegance of a young lady, although her words were far from elegant.

"Heh. It certainly won’t be you."

Leaving those words, without even a goodbye, Liu Junhui left the banquet scene.

The banquet today had wasted a lot of his time, and he was eager to see his fiancée he just talked about.

This social engagement was mandatory per his father’s command.

And the real purpose behind dragging him to the banquet was now quite clear, to push him toward settling down with a marriage.

Recently, his parents constantly tried to introduce him to women of similar status, either daughters of wealthy families or from scholarly backgrounds.

But he turned them all down.

Tonight, his father must have been desperate, using the guise of a social event to set up a matchmaking...

But he already had someone in his heart, an adorable, mischievous Little Phoenix.

He hurried home and entered the Mountain and Sea Realm, unexpectedly leading to the current situation.

Despite the Little Phoenix’s struggle, Liu Junhui pulled her into his arms, helplessly explaining the whole story to her.

After hearing his explanation, the Little Phoenix remained silent.

"Hey, darling, what are you thinking? Can you tell me?"

The Little Phoenix still kept her silence.

It’s always like this, whenever something happens, this is how she is.

But the Phoenix Clan has always been a proud bunch, and not so easily would they bow their noble heads.

After coaxing for quite a while, the Little Phoenix still refused to speak.

Liu Junhui angrily left as well.

Back in the present world, Liu Junhui was busy for a whole week with his previous projects, plus he deliberately avoided going to the Mountain and Sea Realm, leaving the Little Phoenix without seeing him for a week.

"Yun Jing, do you think Liu Liu doesn’t want me anymore?"

The Little Phoenix’s fiery red hair now dimmed like her spirit, its glow much dimmer.

Back then, Yun Jing’s consciousness had just formed and was still quite naive and didn’t understand much about romantic relationships.

"No way, maybe he’s just too busy."

Yun Jing and Liu Junhui also had a Divine Sense link, but he couldn’t monitor the host’s every move. Liu Junhui hated the feeling of being watched, so the link was useless.

Now seeing the Little Phoenix so sad and upset, Yun Jing was also very worried. He could only risk incurring Liu Junhui’s wrath by forcibly linking with him.

Unexpectedly, this abrupt action saved Liu Junhui, whose life was teetering on the brink of danger.
