Chapter 815
From that day onward, Little Shami was even more afraid that both of them would bump into each other again, so he tried to avoid them from being in Buddhism at the same time.
And so, basically everyone in Six Dao, be it Gods or Buddhas, had known about the conflict between Phoenix and the Emperor.
All of them tried to cooperate with Little Shami, avoiding them from meeting each other as best as they could too.
Elder Deity White shook his head and laughed, “The two did not have such serious contradictions before. Although they disliked seeing each other too back then, they would at least give each other a courteous nod. How come they are so intolerable with each other now? They are just like the saying, ‘a great man cannot brook a rival’.”
“Elder Deity, you should have known that the Emperor does not like tough women, which is why all the elder lady deities chosen by him are gentle and clean. Moreover, Phoenix is too trenchant in style, so it is just a matter of time for them to become even unfriendly to each other.”
“In my opinion, the Emperor should settle down with his marriage already. Both Golden Lotus from Buddhism and our Snow Mountain Goddess from Tian Dao are good options.”
“Speaking of this, there’s also another good choice from the Dragon Palace. Her beauty is incomparable with others, I have always wanted to suggest her to the Emperor since a long time ago.”
“Wait a minute, I know a fairy from Mo Cang Mountain who has admired the Emperor for the longest time. Despite her beautiful appearance, she is also very talented, which makes her the best match for the Emperor…”
The elder deities from Tian Dao were all speaking on their own behalf, causing the whole dome to be bustling with their opinions.
However, the man who was sitting at the very top was not planning to join in their conversations. He was only sitting there casually with his legs crossed. But there was one thing that he was curious about.
“Fishes.” This was the nickname given to the demons by some Emperor not long ago.
The black demons formed the shape of a goldfish immediately, “Please speak.”
“About me and my beautiful prey, do we look unmatched together?” The man raised one of his eyebrows, as if in doubt.
The demons were all speechless and thought in their minds, Everyone in Six Dao knows that you both are enemies okay! What do you mean by looking unmatched together, you two had never seen anything eye to eye before! If we had not followed you around, we would have thought as well that you wanted to disable Phoenix every time you met her, but did not do so only because she belongs to Buddhism. Of course, now we know that your actions will not be influenced by anything, but we never thought that you are having dirty thoughts toward Phoenix!
“Why? Is my question very hard to be answered?” The man laughed mockingly while looking at them.
The demons were trying very hard to maintain the goldfish form but still tried their best to speak in a peaceful tone, “It’s really a little bit, unmatched.”
“Oh?” The man laughed again. The laugh looked meaningful, so deep that the demons had no idea what was on his mind.
Actually what the man wanted was simple. Since everyone thought that they were not a match, he wanted to overturn everyone’s mindset.
So that all of them would stop troubling him with the matter of whom he should meet today and the day after that.
The Emperor glanced at the portrait on the table again and a hint of impatience was shown in his gaze.
But the impatience was hidden very well by him.
On the second day when he was traveling to Buddhism, as Little Shami was about to guide him up the mountain, he suddenly changed his path.
Seeing that, Little Shami got anxious, so he ran after the man, “Emperor, that path is full of obstacles. Please, please wait for a second!”
It was indeed a rocky path.
Because halfway along the path, there were uncountable betrothal gifts stacked on the roads.
And behind those betrothal gifts stood Little Monk who was trying hard to stand on tiptoes because he was too short. He was talking to the God of Tian Shan who had come to propose, “Deity, please leave. Our lord still need to continue chanting sutras, she won’t accept your betrothal gifts.”
“Little master, please inform once again. If Phoenix were to agree to this marriage proposal, she will be treated the same way in Tian Shan just as how Buddhism has been treating her. I believe Lord Phoenix will make the right choice, after all she is not young anymore.” The God of Tian Shan was firm in his words as he glanced steadily toward Golden Lotus, the matchmaker.
Golden Lotus laughed with a gentle voice, “That’s right, little master, please inform your lord about this again. This deity is really a gentleman, he is good enough. Most importantly, he has a good temper which is a good match for Lord Phoenix.”
“But…” Little Monk was about to speak.
He was interrupted by a lazy yawn, “Enough of that, I’ve already made the right decision.”
It was Phoenix, walking over bare-footedly with a roll of scriptures in her hand. With her lips curved upward, her eyes met with the stunned gaze of the God of Tian Shan and she continued, “Deity, that means I’m now asking you to get lost with your betrothal gifts, is that clear?”
“You, you!” The God of Tian Shan was really into the looks of this lady before him. But once she spoke, he felt the urge to fight with her. Too bad that he was no match with Phoenix, so he could only attack with his words, “Seems like I’m wrong this time. The rumor is true, a Buddha really doesn’t look like one, no matter how pretty she is, physical appearance is all she has!”
After saying so, the God of Tian Shan turned around to leave. But he was not expecting to bump into the Emperor!
“Emperor? Why are you here?” Recently Tian Dao had become the leader of Six Dao, while everyone was trying to fawn over the Emperor of Tian Dao, including the God of Tian Shan.
The Emperor raised his eyebrow while looking dangerous, “Why? Can’t I be here?”
“No! That’s not true! Of course you can be here.” The God of Tian Shan was showing great enthusiasm, “You must be here for Golden Lotus right? Look at me, how can I forget about this.”
The man remained silent. He was only looking at him with his lips curved up but there was no sign of happiness in his eyes.
At first, the God of Tian Shan did not realize that. But after some time, he started to have goosebumps. He moved unnaturally and asked, “Emperor, is there anything on my face?”
“No.” The man grinned and a sense of evilness was shown in his eyes, “I was just wondering, why do you still have the courage to come out on the streets with such an ugly face?”
The God of Tian Shan was stunned at once. He opened his mouth, but was unsure of how he should retaliate.
“But don’t you worry, you won’t ever be criticized as having only physical appearance in your whole life.” While patting on the God of Tian Shan’s shoulder, the man said with a gentle voice, “Because that would never suit you.”
Upon listening to this, all the little shamis could not hold their laughter anymore and laughed out loud while looking at the face of the God of Tian Shan.
The God of Tian Shan’s face looked so bad as if he had just eaten a toad, it was just too tragic to look at.
He finally knew why he could offend anyone else in the world except the Emperor. He then quickly ran down the mountain in embarrassment with his face covered while pondering since when he had offended the Emperor.
