斐渊's clothes and space ring were burned away by the Phoenix Fire. When he finishes his Nirvana, won't he come out naked?
Sang Luo thought to herself that she was really prescient. She took a few of his clothes and coats from the palace in advance, preparing them for him with care!
A crimson black robe, with ancient and intricate golden phoenix patterns embroidered on the luxurious robe.
Coincidentally, he was wearing this very outfit when they first met.
For a long time, no sound came from the cave. Sang Luo didn't interrupt either. She leaned against the wall, listening to the movements inside.
After a long while, Fei Yuan finally asked,
"Luo'er, is there anything else you want to ask me?"
She had some words left unsaid last time, but was interrupted by the magical beast.
Sang Luo tilted her head to look at him, blinking her watery eyes, "Does Your Majesty really want me to ask?"
"Ask away."
"Since Your Majesty said so, then I must interrogate you properly!" Saying that, she became energetic, "You better honestly confess, what were you doing with your beloved concubine, Meiji, that night? You two old flames reunited after a long separation, did you go off to have fun behind my back?"
Fei Yuan could already imagine her with her hands on her hips, looking angry, and chuckled, "Is that the kind of person I am in your heart?"
"Hmph!"
Such a stubborn little female, she's just jealous, jealous for him.
Fei Yuan's mood improved, and even the pain in his body didn't seem so bad, "She told me that day that someone had poisoned her with a hidden poison. If I hadn't saved her that night, she probably wouldn't have survived."
No wonder Fei Yuan was so anxious that he didn't return all night. Saving a life was of utmost importance, which was understandable.
"Your Majesty really cares about his old flame!" She said sourly.
"The person who poisoned her, and the person who poisoned me back then, may be the same person. I have to keep her alive to investigate, so naturally I can't let her die."
Sang Luo, hearing his seductive husky laughter, felt embarrassed, "You, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Did you allow me to see you?" Fei Yuan chuckled in exasperation.
Sang Luo's momentum weakened, and she pouted again, "Then I'll ask you one last thing, have you done the things you've done with me with other females?"
"…Don't you have my Yuan Yang?"
"Hmph, just because Your Majesty didn't have the ability to go all the way, doesn't mean you can't do other things. There are plenty of tricks and fun to be had."
Fei Yuan was speechless, "I'm already like this, don't deliberately try to anger me." He sighed, "Heaven and earth can bear witness, after meeting you, I haven't touched any other females. I've given you my Yuan Yang, I've given you my life, I've given you everything I can give you, can't Luo'er see my true heart?"
"Your Majesty hasn't given me a Soul Mark."
The other side was silent for a while before saying, "I'm different from your other beast husbands. You said yourself that day that you wouldn't love me. I thought about it then, if you have a child and want to leave, then there's no need to leave you with a Soul Mark, it would only become a constraint to you."
His voice was too hoarse and torn, so much so that one couldn't discern any emotion.
Sang Luo hadn't really thought about wanting Fei Yuan's Soul Mark before, planning to leave after giving birth to the child. If he forcibly left a Soul Mark, it would become an unnecessary burden.
Even for royal beasts, a Soul Mark can only be given once, and once given, it's a lifetime of constraint. No matter how powerful their strength and authority, how many female consorts and lovers they have, once a Soul Contract is concluded, it's a lifetime of loyalty and entrustment.
They choose the object of their contract with utmost caution.
Fei Yuan was naturally no exception.
In this matter, he was no different from ordinary males, wanting to give his Soul Mark to a female he loved.
He didn't give her a sense of security for bearing children, and she didn't give him a sense of security for entrusting her whole life to him.
Fei Yuan, "Does Luo'er want it?"
This time, Sang Luo nodded very seriously, "I want it."
"If you can withstand one-tenth of the Nirvana Pain, I'll give it to you when we get back."
"Ah? Nirvana Pain?"
"Yes, Nirvana is special. If you have my Soul Mark, one-tenth of the pain I experience during Nirvana will be transferred to you." This was also one of the reasons why he hadn't given her the Soul Mark even after he had made up his mind.
"One-tenth of the pain is nothing. Your Majesty has truly experienced the complete Nirvana Pain four times, and you're still fine, aren't you? This little bit of pain is no problem for me, I'm not that delicate." Sang Luo said seriously, "Besides, I also want to experience what it's like when A'Yuan undergoes Nirvana."
As she spoke, her voice became much gentler.
Fei Yuan's emotions were extremely complicated…
"Luo'er, you really make me love and hate you. Ever since I met you, my good days have been so bitter, yet I can't get enough of you…"
"Does Your Majesty regret it?"
"I don't regret it."
…
The two chatted for a long time.
The sky outside had completely darkened.
The sound in the cave gradually subsided.
As the Nirvana deepened, Fei Yuan was in so much pain that he couldn't speak at all.
Listening to his suppressed growls and gasps, Sang Luo's whole heart clenched fiercely. She was really afraid that he wouldn't make it through, and she didn't know if the phoenix's Nirvana would fail.
She didn't know how to help him relieve the pain…
"I'll sing you a song." Sang Luo leaned against the wall, her fingers stroking the cold, hard stone wall, as if she could feel the warmth coming from the person on the other side.
Fei Yuan also pressed his body against the wall.
In exactly the same position.
The two were separated by only one wall, and her voice could be clearly transmitted to his ears.
Fei Yuan didn't reply. Sang Luo saw him with his eyes tightly closed, nodding very slightly.
She hummed softly, without specific lyrics or melody, her voice as gentle as the night breeze. Listening to it, one would slowly empty their thoughts, allowing their mood to gradually calm down, and the perception of pain would also lighten…
She didn't know how long she had been humming softly. The sky outside was faintly white, and her voice slowly faded away. As she sang, she fell asleep hugging her outer robe.
She woke up hungry again at noon.
Sang Luo quickly ate some crystal stones and spiritual fruits. She couldn't let the baby go hungry.
A few days passed in a flash.
Fei Yuan never spoke again.
Sang Luo, bored, conjured a wisp of green power from her fingertips. From the cracks in the stone wall, green and tender vines emerged, covering the cave entrance and stone wall, blooming with various colorful flowers, competing for beauty.
The deep and cold stone cave was transformed by her into a fairytale-like secret realm.
Another half month passed in a flash.
Experiencing Nirvana twice in a year had indeed affected Fei Yuan's body. His last Nirvana didn't take so long.
Sang Luo spent most of her time sleeping, waking up to eat something, and then lying on the ground to sleep after eating.
One night, Fei Yuan emerged from his seclusion.
He raised his hand and waved, and a black feather coat appeared on his body. The moment he stepped out of the cave, he caught sight of the flowers all over the wall and was stunned.
He clearly remembered that this broken place was full of bare stones.
He looked down at the sleeping little female not far away, her long black hair scattered on the ground, her soft white and delicate face, her eyebrows and eyes like a painting. The flowers all over the wall only served as a foil to her.
Just looking at her was enough to make one's heart flutter.
Fei Yuan stepped forward and bent down, his jade-like slender fingertips gently stroking her porcelain-white cheeks. He had lived proudly for hundreds of years, and this was the first time he had been seen in his embarrassed state during Nirvana.
It was also the first time someone had accompanied him through such a painful moment.
He should have been somewhat apprehensive, but at this time, his heart was filled with sourness and satisfaction, with a slight sweetness…
Fei Yuan quickly came back to his senses, seeing that she only had a small blanket under her and the clothes she was wearing were extremely thin. The stone cave was cold and damp, how could her body withstand it!
He scolded softly,
"Silly girl, you don't even know if you're catching a cold."
He took out the outer robe from her arms, draped it over her, and carried her back to the Phoenix Palace.
This chapter is still a little sweet, good night babies, see you tomorrow~
