Fengge used his powers to conjure up a blindfold covering his eyes before he turned around. What a day! If Jiayi ever found out about this, she would certainly be angry.
"I am sorry. It was just a teleportation mishap. I will get going" Fengge said walking to the door.
Opening the door, he stepped out into the courtyard. Just as he was figuring where to search for Tingzhe, he saw Master Bai Lian arrive. Breathing a sigh of relief, Fengge walked to her.
"My deepest apologies crown prince. My disciples seem to have a little bit of too much energy when it comes to killing demons. I wasn't sure if I should reveal your identity" Bai Lian said.
"No need. But we need to make sure that they stop doing that every time I arrive. Its starting to get bothersome." Fengge said.
"What about your friend?" Bai Lian asked looking around.
"He isn't here. I lost him while I was trying to..... Forget it. Help me find him. I wander where he will be." Fengge said worried.
Tingzhe walked around as his hand gently moved across the bed. This room was familiar to him and her scent lingered in the air. Of course. Jiu Bao has always liked the scent of white roses.
"What do you want?" Tingzhe heard a familiar voice say.
"Nothing. Fengge had a problem while he was trying to teleport us away and I lost him. I will be going now" Tingzhe said walking past her.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Jiu Bao asked looking away.
"Nothing" Tingzhe said about to leave.
"Really? You have nothing to say? Nothing about what happened before?" Jiu Bao asked with hope.
Years in the mortal realm was different than that in the other realms. They were immortals. They would leave for thousands and thousands of years while she could die in an instant, at the least things. She was losing time. Now, her father wanted to establish a relationship with the heavenly realm. Her guess was that very soon, she would have to marry the heavenly king. This was her final chance. Their final chance.
"Nothing. I have nothing to say. Why? I tried for so many years to explain but you didn't want to hear anything" Tingzhe said.
"So? I want to hear everything now. I am ready to hear everything" Jiu Bao said.
"But now, I am no longer ready to explain." Tingzhe said as he saw tears gather in Jiu Bao's eyes.
Seeing tears in her eyes tore away his layers of resolve. Many things were about to happen. His father must know about his feelings for Jiu Bao and that was what made him feel very anxious. Luckily for him, the door opened immediately and he was able to see a chance to escape.
"Here you are." Tingzhe watched as Fengge enter.
"Good thing you are here. This time I will be the one to teleport us. Let's go" Tingzhe said grabbing Fengge's hand as they teleported.
"Wait! Tingzhe! Don't go!" Jiu Bao shouted as she watched them leave.
This time they managed to successfully to land in the right place. In the dark realm. Well, it was better than landing in the heavenly realm. Right now he was in no mood to entertain any celestial.
"Why didn't you explain anything to her? You just left." Fengge said scolding him.
"Thank you. You arrive just in time. It was like you read my mind. Half a minute later and I will have melted into a puddle" Tingzhe said.
The day was perfect. Her father had just rewarded her with lots of new silk last week and the clothes were finally ready. Now, she was looking so beautiful wearing one of them. When the heavenly king sees her, he will surely fall for her.
"Jiayi!" Jiayi heard her name being called out.
Turning around, she looked and saw Fengge. Fengge, the heavenly realm crown prince who followed her like a dog.
"Jiayi! Wait!" Fengge said leaving Tingzhe's side.
Jiayi stopped sighing in frustration before she turned around smiling. Just like Lord Sly had said, it was only right that she kept Fengge at her side.
"Brother Fengge. What are you doing here?" Jiayi asked pretending to smile.
"Fengge and I encountered a little problem. But don't worry" Tingzhe said.
"I am happy that both of you are okay." Jiayi said nodding her head as she prayed for him to go away.
"Look at what I brought for you. It will increase your powers greatly." Fengge said making the petal appear.
Both of them recognized it immediately. It was an orange petal shaped so elegantly. The one flower desired in all the three realms. The Orane flower.
"The Orane flower" Tingzhe and Jiayi said at the same time.
"Yes. The Orane flower. Here, have it." Fengge said.
"You have the Orane flower?" Tingzhe asked in shock.
"I do. Well, the both of you are the most important people in my life. If you want a piece too, I can give it to you" Fengge said.
"The Orane flower. The most desired flower in all the realms. It has extremely wonderful qualities. It can guarantee you extreme power. It can even save an immortal from dying and reincarnate them too. Are you really giving me this?" Jiayi asked, her eyes full of greed.
"Of course. You will be my wife in the future, right? It is only natural that I look after your health. Don't worry. No one will look down at you when we are married later on" Fengge said resting Jiayi on his chest as they hugged.
While Jiayi pretended to smile, Tingzhe sighed in worry. The dark realm was seriously looking for the Orane flower while Fengge had it. The future didn't see bright at this moment.
Jiayi walked the corridors of the palace on her way to visit her master, Lord Sly. Fengge had finally left after a long and stressful day with him. This changed everything. He had the Orane flower that the dark realm was looking for. Its no wonder why his demon side possessed great strength and his blood was able to increase a demon's cultivation. Although she had her eyes set on the heavenly king, Fengge could no longer be ignored.
"Aaaahhh!" Jiayi shouted as she found herself being dragged into one of the rooms.
Jiayi rolled her eyes when she finally recognized who it was. Disappointed and anger showed on her face as she looked at him
"What do you want? You are a real pest you know Tingzhe" Jiayi said.
"Where are you going?" Tingzhe asked looking at her outrageously sexy outfit.
"None of your business." Jiayi said crossing her arms.
"You better not even dream of telling what Fengge told you to anyone Jiayi." Tingzhe said.
"Really? Why? The dark realm has been searching for that flowers for years." Jiayi said.
"Listen very carefully" Tingzhe said dragging her forcefully as he cornered her against the wall.
"You are a snake demon right?" Tingzhe asked smiling.
"I don't fear you" Jiayi said looking at him straight in the eyes.
"PAIN!" Tingzhe said stepping back as he watched Jiayi fall to the ground in pain.
Struggling to gasp for air, Jiayi reached out for Tingzhe but fell to the ground as she cried out in pain when he shifted aside. Her body was like it was on fire burning inch by inch. She coiled up into a ball as she frantically touched every part of her body.
"Don't even think of messing with me Jiayi. I am my father's son. Next time, I assure you that our father will also mourn for you. Do you understand?" Tingzhe asked watching Jiayi as she continued to roll around sweating in pain.
"Well done Tingzhe. I really underestimated you." Jiayi said groaning in pain as she spat out blood.
"You forced me cousin. You don't seem to understand the nice language. I hear one word about this from someone else and you are dead" Tingzhe said wavering the pain away.
Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at Tingzhe in anger.
Smiling to himself, Tingzhe walked away through the door. This was the only way to protect Fengge. If the dark realm found out about the Orane flower, they would certainly plot to get it. They were now sworn brothers. Even if he had to betray his whole family, he wouldn't allow a single hair of Fengge's to be hurt.
"Greetings father" Fengge said bowing down as he watched his father get up from his seat to walk up to him.
His mind wandered away thinking of things he could have done to make his father angry. Or was there something new that was happening.
"Fengge, I summoned you here today to talk to you" The heavenly king said.
"I am listening father" Fengge said.
"The mortal king personally came here to ask a favor. One of his daughter has potential but lacks the zeal. She has admired you since she was little so he came to beg me to allow her to serve you and learn from you" The heavenly king said.
"Learn from me? I have never taken an apprentice before." Fengge said.
"No. She isn't going to be your apprentice. Just think of her as a guest. Okay, its settled then. I will let you go and meet her. She's at your palace." The heavenly king said.
"Respectfully taking my leave" Fengge said leaving.
After he left, Jiu Bao came out from where she had been hiding behind the curtains. Kneeling down, she thanked the heavenly king.
"No need. I already told you are that there is no need for you to courteous with me" The heavenly king said.
"You are the legendary heavenly ruler. I dare not behave improper towards you." Jiu Bao said making the heavenly king laugh.
"I have done such an important favor for you. Your sister will get to learn from the crown prince. What do I get in return?" The heavenly king asked.
