The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

Chapter 649: A Brief Discussion and In-depth Study

Just because some details are not mentioned doesn’t mean they have never happened.

Dongfang Junyan asked patiently, "Did she show any other abnormalities at that time?"

"I... just felt that she was incredibly terrifying back then. It was as if she was determined to perish together with her. The pressure from her was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe."

"Then...is there anything else?" Dongfang Junyan felt his heart hanging in his throat, feeling that things were not as easy as Fan Nuoxi said.

"She was like a completely different person at that time. Her aura was completely different from before, and her mind was not clear."

"And her blood actually turned into roses, and she really didn't mind the roses being soiled."

"The moment she noticed the roses were soiled, the curse was crushed in her hands."

"But after sensing your presence, his eyes quickly regained clarity."

After Yang Yue finished saying all this, he belatedly noticed that something was wrong with Dongfang Junyan.

Dongfang Junyan's face was gloomy. He looked at the ground where traces of dirt could still be vaguely seen, as if he was enduring something.

"Well... these are what I noticed. If you don't believe me..." Yang Yue's voice became smaller and smaller.

"I believe it." Dongfang Junyan said with difficulty.

Yang Yue was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said sincerely, "I did something wrong in the past and hurt you. I'm sorry."

"But this is not because I hope you will forgive me, but because I should admit my guilt and my mistakes."

Dongfang Junyan looked at the box holding Yang Yue in surprise, "Let's put things in perspective. Thank you for telling me this today."

He can say these things, at least he is a smart person. Although what he did is disgusting, but... it has changed his mind a little now.

"If she comes back someday, don't tell her I was here."

After saying this, Dongfang Junyan erased all traces of himself here and returned to Jingyang Palace.

Seeing that Fan Nuoxi was still resting well in the bedroom, Dongfang Junyan and Long Yue gave him a few instructions and then left with heavy steps.

……

Fan Nuoxi slept for quite a long time, and when she woke up, it was already afternoon.

He didn't even know someone was feeding him medicine or changing his dressing while he was sleeping.

She looked at the bandage tied with a bow on her palm, then looked at Feng Qingqing who looked concerned, her head still a little dazed, "How long have I been sleeping?"

"Master, it's already 3:00 PM." Feng gently brought the meal that had been warmed by magic power to the bedside. "Master, you must be hungry. Eat something first so you have the energy to do anything else."

"Okay." Seeing her like this, Fan Nuoxi didn't want to refuse her, so she started eating obediently, but she was thinking about Dongfang Junyan in her heart.

When did he leave? Why didn't he leave her a message?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the answer from Feng Qingqing's mouth, "Master, are you thinking about the Emperor? He is dealing with some things right now and it is not convenient for him to take care of you for the time being, so he asked Long Yue and I to take care of you."

"It's just that Long Yue is a bit unreliable. I'm afraid he might hurt you, so I'm mostly taking care of you."

"I'll have him guard outside now to prevent others from disturbing your rest."

Fan Nuoxi nodded slightly, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Well, I finally have the chance to take care of you. I'm so happy. I hope you get better soon and don't let us worry." Feng Qingqing said and couldn't help but touch Fan Nuoxi's red hair. "You look really good now. It would be cool if I had such beautiful hair."

"You're already incredibly beautiful. If you were any prettier, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to walk when I see you." Fan Nuoxi teased, "But I did hear that Long Yue is very attentive to you. He's bought you delicious food, fun things, and even beautiful clothes in many nearby cities..."

"Then... ahem..." Feng Qingqing blushed and quickly changed the subject, "Master, have you finished your meal? Do you want me to go for a walk with you?"

hiss--

How did the master know this?

It really makes Phoenix shy!

"Okay, if I don't go for a walk, my bones will become crispy." Fan Nuoxi followed her words, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth, put away the dishes, and then gently put his hand on Feng Qingqing to help him stand up.

After washing up, Feng Qingqing helped Fan Nuoxi out the door.

There was no other reason. It was because Fan Nuoxi was suffering from severe blood and energy loss, and his steps were weak. Without help from others, he might fall down at any time.

……

At night, Dongfang Junyan still didn't come back to see her. She tossed and turned in bed, feeling uneasy.

He wanted to mobilize his magic power to find someone, but as soon as he had the thought, his dantian started to ache and he couldn't mobilize any of it.

Fortunately, Feng Qingqing stayed by her side, chatting and making her laugh. After tossing and turning for a while, she finally fell asleep.

Feng Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, but soon her attention was attracted by the bouquet of red roses placed in the room.

During the day, she thought it was just an ordinary bouquet of roses and didn't notice anything unusual when passing by. But now she found that the bouquet of roses had a bit of bloody smell. Even though it was quite a distance away, she could still smell it clearly.

Not knowing what drove her, she subconsciously left Fan Nuoxi's bed, stood up and wanted to get closer. After taking a few steps, Feng Qingqing realized that something was wrong and suppressed the urge to get closer.

What on earth is that thing? Why does it hide its presence during the day but suddenly make such a noise in the middle of the night?

Why didn't anyone tell her that there was something wrong with this flower...

How should she cope now?

Feng Qingqing glanced at Fan Nuoxi who had finally fallen asleep, gritted his teeth, and quickly turned into a stream of light and returned to Fan Nuoxi's body.

In just a moment, Feng Qingqing felt that the discomfort in her body disappeared instantly.

I don’t know if the owner knows that there is something wrong with the bouquet of flowers. I have to ask the owner to be more careful.

The rose noticed the disappearance of Feng Qingqing's breath, and perhaps it was a little depressed, and its petals showed signs of withering slightly, and this phenomenon continued until the next day.

In the early morning, Dongfang Junyan, dragging the coldness of the night, appeared at the door of Fan Nuoxi's bedroom. Looking at Long Yue squatting and dozing at the door, Dongfang Junyan's hand, which was about to push the door open, paused slightly.

Sensing someone approaching, Long Yue instinctively stood up and took a defensive stance, but when he opened his eyes dazedly, his vigilance relaxed a little, and confusion followed.

"Why did you come back just now?" Long Yue lowered his voice and asked, "You were not in the palace today, and she has been in a bad mood. I am afraid she has finally fallen asleep now."

"I didn't mean to come back so late—" Dongfang Junyan lowered his eyes and explained in a low voice, "Did she feel anything unusual after she woke up?"

"It's mainly just about taking care of him. It's nothing." Long Yue sorted out his thoughts and thought carefully.

"However... there is one thing that is a little strange, but I can't put my finger on it." Thinking of the bouquet of roses in Fan Nuoxi's bedroom, Long Yue frowned slightly.

"What's so strange about that?" Dongfang Junyan's heart was lifted up again by these words.

"Although I was waiting outside the hall tonight, I don't know why I always felt that there was something inside the hall, like a hook, pulling me in. But I resisted and didn't go in." Long Yue recalled that feeling, "I think it was the bouquet of roses in the room that was causing trouble."

Dongfang Junyan's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells, and he wanted to push the door open. "Roses?"

Seeing this, Long Yue quickly stopped him and said in a low voice, "Please listen to me first. I'm just suspicious now. If something bad happens to you again, we really don't know what to do..."

Hearing this, Dongfang Junyan pursed his lips, but his eyes still couldn't stop looking at the door, as if he wanted to go in and see what was going on.

"I suspect that bouquet of flowers was made from someone's essence and blood. When I saw it during the day, it looked like a normal rose and I could even smell its fragrance, but it just gave me a very strange feeling."

"But at night, I smelled the scent of flowers mixed with blood outside this temple."

"So, after you smelled the fragrance of the flowers, you wanted to go in, right..." Before Long Yue could finish, Dongfang Junyan continued his words, "If that's the case, then I can't let her face it alone in there."

Before he could finish his words, Dongfang Junyan pushed open the door.
