Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1713: The Road to Godhood - Prequel (45)

Sensing the remaining breath in her body, Mu Qingtian's face became uglier and uglier, with a complicated expression: "It is you."

He reached out and touched his heart, feeling the long-lost throbbing, and murmured to himself: "So, is this fate's punishment for me, or is it giving me a chance to make it up to you?"

-

Dai Ke slowly opened his eyes, and in his blurry vision he saw a handsome figure.

He sat at the table, flipping through a book in his hands. His movements were so gentle that it felt like he was flipping through fragile thin wings, and he didn't dare to make the slightest sound.

Dai Ke sat up in panic, not noticing the outer robe that had fallen off his body, and immediately ran to Mu Qingtian: "I accidentally fell asleep, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Looking at Dai Ke's trembling appearance, Mu Qingtian began to doubt his reputation outside.

He has always been known for his amiable manner and has never punished a priest easily. Why is Dai Ke so afraid of him?

Is it because the image of the underworld is so poisonous?

How about...be nice to her?

In that case, would she take advantage of his preference and do something secretly in an attempt to replace him?

Dai Ke was severely tortured by Mu Qingtian from the lower world.

Mu Qingtian was also frightened by Dai Ke when he was in the lower world, and was afraid that Dai Ke would stab him secretly if he was not careful.

Although he is now at the peak of his cultivation and no one can take his life easily, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Mu Qingtian was torn between his conscience and his rationality. He raised his hand and held Dai Ke's wrist, saying gently, "There are not so many rules for serving me. As long as you don't make a big mistake, I won't punish you. Don't be afraid."

Dai Ke carefully observed Mu Qingtian's expression. Seeing that he was so kind, he wondered if he really had no memory of the underworld.

After all, if he had the memory, he would have killed her right?

Thinking of this, Dai Ke’s fear of Mu Qingtian lessened a little.

"Thank you, Emperor."

"Mu Qingtian!"

boom--

Along with a surge of divine power, the door was blown away.

The powerful force made Dai Ke feel like she was about to be shattered, but suddenly an even stronger force protected her.

A woman dressed in fiery red, with red feathers all over her clothes, rushed into the hall aggressively. Her facial features were straight and she was full of arrogance, especially the mark of flowing fire between her eyebrows, which showed her unique identity.

"Mu Qingtian, we made a bet that if you fail in the tribulation, you must marry me immediately. Now is the time to fulfill your promise, right?"

Dai Ke didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the two, but she was trapped between two powerful invisible forces and couldn't move at all.

Mu Qingtian said coldly: "What you asked for back then has already been granted, and you were the first to regret it, so why should I keep my promise?"

Hearing this, the woman's strength became even stronger, and the building that had stood for thousands of years collapsed: "Mu Qingtian, are you going to regret it?"

Mu Qingtian waved his hand, and the gravel scattered around like light feathers in an instant.

"So what?"

"You!" The woman was speechless. Suddenly she noticed Dai Ke curled up in a ball and pointed at him angrily. "You didn't refuse the marriage because of her, did you?"

Dai Ke had been trying his best to reduce his presence, and he was almost shrinking himself into a ball, but he didn't expect to be implicated anyway.

Dai Ke waved her hands in panic, trying to say it was none of her business, but Mu Qingtian spoke first: "Dai Fengyu, stop making trouble!"

Dai Fengyu glared at Dai Ke coldly: "If it's because of her, then I will kill her now!"

Eh? Dai Ke was stunned, his expression was tense.

She was just a spectator, why hurt her by accident?

Dai Fengyu's blazing flames shot towards Dai Ke, but Mu Qingtian, who was blocking her, fought back: "Dai Fengyu, stop being so presumptuous!"

Dai Fengyu stamped her feet in anger, causing the heavy red hairpin on her head to shake: "Mu Qingtian, you actually yelled at me for a lowly bitch?"

Mu Qingtian frowned in disgust and wanted to observe Dai Ke's expression, fearing that she might be seriously hurt by Dai Fengyu's words.

However, when he looked over, Dai Ke just lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly. Mu Qingtian took a deep breath and said, "I told you clearly ten thousand years ago that our marriage is impossible. Don't keep pestering me."

"But our marriage was decided by the late emperor and the way of heaven. It is the law that stipulates that you and I must get married. You can't go back on your word just because you want to!"

"If you don't marry me, you will never reach the top in your life!"

The Phoenix bloodline is rare, and in order to preserve this lineage, the late emperor and the Heavenly Dao jointly arranged a marriage between the two clans.

If Mu Qingtian goes against the decision of his ancestors, he will never be able to break through to the highest level in his lifetime.

This time when he came to the mortal world, he also wanted to experience the tribulation and try to see if he could make a breakthrough, but the result was obviously a failure.

"so what?"

Even if he couldn't break through to the highest realm, he was still the overlord of the God Realm. Why did he need a marriage contract? "You——"

Facing Mu Qingtian's indifference, Dai Fengyu had nothing to say: "Okay, if you don't marry me, then I will stay in the God Emperor Palace, don't think about getting rid of me!"

After watching Dai Fengyu leave, Mu Qingtian turned around and asked Dai Ke, "Are you okay?"

Dai Ke shook his head blankly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Just now when Dai Fengyu used Phoenix Fire to attack her, she did not feel the danger of the powerful force. Instead, she felt it was very kind and gentle, as if... that was the power that originally belonged to her.

Thinking of this, Dai Ke hurriedly threw away these thoughts.

Although she has the power of Nirvana, she is not from the Phoenix clan. She is just an unknown bird egg discarded in the desolate land of the North Sea. How could she be a phoenix?

If she was really a phoenix, how could she have made no progress in her cultivation for ten thousand years and only become the most insignificant minor god? Noticing that Dai Ke was lost in thought, Mu Qingtian's eyes flashed with guilt and interrupted her thoughts: "Dai Fengyu has always been arrogant and willful. She will definitely attack you again because of this misunderstanding. You must follow me closely in the future to ensure your safety."

Dai Ke: Following him is the most dangerous thing, right?

After all, if Mu Qingtian didn't keep her, Dai Fengyu wouldn't hold a grudge against her, right?

"I'll remember that." She looked obedient, but in fact she was secretly thinking something.

...

Dai Ke held his chin with both hands, staring at a pot of blooming spiritual plants on the windowsill, its pink and white petals surrounded by rich spiritual energy.

Dai Ke glanced at Mu Qingtian who had been sitting there for ten hours. She was so hungry that she wanted to hug the spiritual plant and eat it.

He lowered his head to handle matters. Dai Ke saw that he was oblivious to the people around him and seemed to be lost in his own world. He stood up and took two tentative steps.

Mu Qingtian didn't look over. Dai Ke quietly moved to the windowsill, picked a petal and put it into his mouth.

The sweet taste melts in the mouth, and the rich spiritual energy also fills the feeling of hunger.

At the same time, Dai Ke also felt that his divine power was increasing step by step.

Looking down at the lush petals, Dai Ke thought about picking another one. Maybe it wouldn't be noticeable?

Her sinful hand reached out to the petals, and she was warned by Mu Qingtian: "With your cultivation level, one petal of the sacred tree a day is already the limit. If you don't want to be exploded by spiritual energy, just hold back for now."
