Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1147 - 1146: Wishful Thinking
The Vermilion Bird Domain also has an Elder Council. ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ธ๐๐๐.๐๐๐
The other Elders, seeing the Zhu prince in such a state, were all dumbfounded and didnโt know what to say. They all knew that in the Vermilion Bird Domain, the Elder Council adheres to the Great Elder Zhu Shouyiโs word, and others dare not express their anger openly.
Even though Zhu Shouyi had a thick skin, he was too embarrassed to directly exercise the authority of a Domain Master in front of everyone, especially concerning a lifelong decision of someone else.
"Shut up!"
The Zhu prince was startled, closed his mouth, and dared not speak again.
Zhu Shouyi said, "This girl is the inheritor of the Fire Phoenix, and the Fire Phoenix is fundamental to the restoration of the Vermilion Bird Domainโs totem power. Knowing this, how can you propose such an outrageous request for your personal gain? You are utterly disregarding the law, bold beyond belief! Do you not consider the entire Vermilion Bird Domain at all?"
"I, I... I..." The Zhu prince was dumbfounded, speechless.
"Iโm warning you, this matter cannot be brought up again! Get out!"
Great Elder Zhu Shouyiโs voice was strong and resonant.
Frightened, the Zhu prince stepped back, no longer daring to speak further.
The other Eldersโ gazes were like venomous snakes slithering over him.
Only then did the Zhu prince realize how completely irrational his earlier actions had been.
His mind was thoroughly overwhelmed by Ye Wenjunโs beauty.
Unable to think.
"Yes, yes..." The Zhu prince slunk away dejectedly.
Only then did Zhu Shouyi cup his hands towards the other Elders and say, "Apologies... this child of mine really lacks decorum."
The other Elders could only awkwardly smile.
Only then did Zhu Shouyi shift his gaze to Ye Wenjun.
The other Elders also scrutinized Ye Wenjun.
They did not ask any questions.
After observing.
Zhu Shouyi suddenly stood up and said, "Iโm not feeling well today, the rest is up to you, Iโll return first."
Not giving the other Elders a chance to speak, he turned and left the main hall.
...
Afternoon.
In a room somewhere in the Vermilion Bird Domain.
With a crisp slap.
Zhu Shouyi struck the Zhu prince across the cheek, scolding, "You bastard! I usually indulge you too much! How dare you be so reckless in front of the Elders! Are you tired of living?"
"Father! I... I was wrong! I lost my mind for a moment, I... I didnโt mean to!"
The Zhu prince clutched his cheek, burning with pain.
Looking at the Zhu princeโs swollen face from the blow.
Zhu Shouyi sighed, hating iron for not becoming steel, and said, "I sit in the Great Elderโs position, many things are not that easy. Last time you harassed a woman from the Vermilion Bird Domain, the Domain Master was already furious, if I hadnโt shamelessly pleaded for you, could you have gotten out? Has it been easy for our family to hold onto this position until now?"
The Zhu prince remained silent.
Zhu Shouyi continued, "The Domain Master fears my power and influence, naturally, he doesnโt dare say much to me. But when pushed, even a dog will jump over the wall! This time the five Great Elders brought back the Fire Phoenix, the purpose is to restore the Vermilion Bird Totem! By then, the Elder Council, and even the Domain Master will gain enormous benefits... You think I want to sacrifice the Fire Phoenix?"
Upon hearing this.
There was a flash of light in the Zhu princeโs eyes.
"Father... then find a way to marry her to me! I will definitely work hard, I will cultivate diligently like my elder brother from now on, maintaining our position! Father... Iโm begging you!"
The Zhu prince couldnโt help but think of Ye Wenjunโs unparalleled beauty,
Zhu Shouyi said:
"That girl, Iโve seen her... She possesses the power of the Fire Phoenix, as well as a cold attribute. She should be a Dual Attribute Phoenix. Ice and Fire Dual Attributes, this is a colossal discovery... I originally thought, if she were Single Fire Attribute, contributing her to the Vermilion Bird God Statue wouldnโt be a problem. Even if they gained immense benefits, they might not be my match... After contributing, letting that girl marry you wouldnโt be a problem. But nowโthis must be reconsidered..."
The voice paused.
The Zhu princeโs heart was filled with joy, completely forgetting the pain on his face, and said, "Father... I knew it, youโre the best to me!"
"Nonsense! If Iโm not good to my son, who should I be good to? But you need to have a sense of proportion in what you do!" Zhu Shouyi scolded.
"I, I get it..."
"This Ice and Fire Phoenix, I reckon the other Elders can see it too. So, we must absorb the Phoenixโs power before the god statue contribution ceremony is held!" Zhu Shouyi said with eyes shining.
The Zhu prince seemed invigorated as if heโd been injected with adrenaline.
Zhu Shouyi said, "I originally planned to let your elder brother..."
"Elder brother is already in the Shattering Ancient Realm! Just one step away from becoming Heaven Stepping Realm! Father... Iโm only just entering Shattering Void!"
"Why are you in such a hurry, I havenโt even finished speaking!"
Zhu Shouyi glared, "Marrying that woman to you is much harder than for your elder brother! Your elder brother behaves properly, if I were to request it from the Domain Master, he wouldnโt object. With your bad habits, the Domain Master will find a reason to refuse. The other Elders will naturally pick sides."
"Father, then, what should we do now?" the Zhu prince asked.
"Hereโs the plan... you come over here..."
Zhu Shouyi gestured for his son to lean in and whispered for quite a while.
The Zhu prince listened and nodded repeatedly, even showing a hint of excitement.
...
Meanwhile.
Ye Wenjun didnโt know what the people in the Vermilion Bird Domain were planning.
After seeing her, those Elders then imprisoned Ye Wenjun.
It wasnโt a prison, more like a room vacated for a woman to stay.
The surroundings were filled with restriction arrays, unable to get out.
Ye Wenjun touched the Phoenix Ancient Jade with one hand and the Water Cold Sword with the other.
Not sure what she was thinking.
"Sister Wenjun, donโt worry... Iโll see how we can get out." Shangguan Linghui floated out from the Water Cold Sword.
"Linghui, donโt move... These restrictions are unusual. And their cultivation is very high, I donโt want you to be noticed!" Ye Wenjun hastily said.
"Alright then..."
Shangguan Linghui burrowed back in.
At this moment.
With a creakโ
The door opened.
The Zhu prince, waving a feather fan and with a playful smile, pushed the door and entered.
Ye Wenjun was startled.
Why was it this rascal?
The Zhu princeโs smile faded.
Becoming amicable, becoming respectful, he said, "Miss Ye, itโs truly an honor for me to meet you in the Vermilion Bird Domain. The Elders have already introduced you to me. You come from Tiandu Mountain, possessing True Phoenix Blood, inheriting the Fire Phoenix Power. I was quite offensive before, and Iโve come specifically to apologize."
Ye Wenjun said coolly, "No need to apologize... youโre not welcome here, please leave!"
"Miss Ye, no need to be so quick. I have no ill intentions this time, let me finish speaking, perhaps, youโll change your mind."
Seeing her silence, the Zhu prince smiled and said, "Miss Yeโs appearance is stunning, I imagine any man seeing it would be captivated. Besides, Miss Ye possesses the Fire Phoenix Power. Do you know why the Vermilion Bird Domain brought you back?"
He deliberately used the word "brought," his tone intentionally heavy.
The Zhu prince continued, "The power of the Vermilion Bird Domainโs totem divine statue has disappeared, requiring the Fire Phoenixโs power to replenish it so the Vermilion Bird Domain can be preserved, and the cultivators in the Vermilion Bird Domain can continue their cultivation. And you... are the key to restoring the totemโs power."
"The key to restoring the totemโs power?" Ye Wenjunโs brow slightly furrowed.
"Precisely. Only by sacrificing you can the Fire Phoenixโs power be infused into the totem." the Zhu prince said.
"Why are you telling me this?"
The Zhu prince appeared surprised, not expecting Ye Wenjun to be so clever, getting straight to the heart of the matter, which was just as well, as there was no need for roundabout dialogue with smart people.
"Itโs simple, I want... you to marry me!"
