The next day, Fengyi still followed Yuheng to the residence of magpie, and she glanced at the bird's nest that had been burned to ashes.
She laughed unsympathetically and said, "I am the Vermilion Bird, breathing sacred fire. It's obvious that your nest was not burned by sacred fire. Are you slandering me? Or do you just lack common sense and don't know that the Vermilion Bird breathes sacred fire?"
magpie Gritting its teeth, the magpie retorted, "Who knows if you deliberately used another fire to destroy my nest, just to absolve yourself? My nest is as strong as a fortress, ordinary fire can't burn it at all!"
"It must have spontaneously combusted. The fire born from sunlight is celestial fire, even the sacred fire can't compare to it."
Yuheng quickly jumped out to mediate, grabbing Fengyi who was about to confront magpie single-handedly, and gesturing vigorously towards magpie, "Miss magpie must be hungry and needs to go find food. The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll be back. Goodbye!"
Magpie pouted in grievance, casting a resentful glance at Yuheng, but ultimately compromised. She extended her hands, which transformed into giant wings, and gave Fengyi a stern look before saying, "Have it built before nightfall," and then flapped her wings and flew away.
Upon seeing this, Fengyi couldn't hold back her anger: "Why does she assume it was me who started the fire? Yuheng, do you believe me?"
"I believe you."
The unequivocal response did not make Fengyi feel at ease. She couldn't help but angrily shout at him, "You're just brushing me off. You don't actually believe it in your heart. You just think I'm being unreasonable and throwing a tantrum, right? The Vermilion Bird clan never lies. If I haven't done something, then I haven't done it..."
"I'm not brushing you off. I really do believe you," Yuheng said helplessly, having to reiterate once again. He looked as serious as if he were swearing to the heavens, but Fengyi was not moved. Instead, she looked at him with suspicion, her eyes clearly asking, "Why are you so sure?"
Yuheng faked a cough and whispered, "Because I was the one who burned down her nest."
"..."
Yuheng said that every time the magpie came to chat with her, he was actually secretly observing because the monsters that appear in the Paradise are all evil creatures, and he was afraid she would be bullied.
Unexpectedly, he overheard the magpie saying, "You will not have a good outcome," which almost made him want to rush out and throw the magpie out. He wouldn't allow anyone to come between their relationship, so to vent his anger and also to warn the magpie, he secretly set a fire while the magpie was away.
As for why he doesn't admit...
Nonsense, he is a dignified immortal in the heavenly realm. How could he allow others to know that he bullied a little bird?
After learning the ins and outs, Gan Ling silently began to search for branches and leaves to build a nest. There was no other way, her husband was so stingy. According to the principle of "husband's debt, wife's repayment," she had to make up for the mistakes he made.
"Yuheng, go find some thousand-year-old tree demon branches. Although my nest may not be as good as magpie's original nest, it shouldn't be too bad," Fengyi instructed Yuheng while shaping the nest with stones.
Yuheng nodded and accepted the order. After flying a distance using magic, he was suddenly intercepted by magpie.
He gently greeted her, but unexpectedly magpie's eyes turned red, and she pointed at his nose, accusing him, "I overheard what you said to Fengyi just now! Why? I thought you had feelings for me?"
Yuheng slightly tilted her head, looking puzzled: "I have feelings for you? Why don't I know about this?"
"When you... when you look at me, you always focus on my lips. I can be sure that this is not just a matter of politeness! Besides, you two were together because of the red line, and now that the red line has been broken, why bother to make yourself suffer?"
Upon hearing this, Yuheng's smile stiffened slightly. "How could that be? Our red line is perfectly fine."
The meticulous magpie simply took his hand and quickly pinched a secret, after a faint blue light flashed, a faintly visible circle of red-black line appeared on Yuheng's little finger. She pointed at the eerie circle of red line in surprise.
"You see clearly, this is not a matchmaker red line. But I didn't expect that the connection between you two is actually the Symbiosis Spell. This thread links your life with Fengyi, sharing the same lifespan, living and dying together. But this is a spell exclusive to the demon realm, the caster must be a demon... Wait, although Fengyi is imprisoned in the Paradise, there has never been any demonic aura on him. How did this spell come about?"
magpie looked up in astonishment, only to meet Yuheng's smile that didn't reach his eyes, a cold and sinister expression. He slowly withdrew his hand with the Symbiosis Spell, and his gaze towards magpie revealed a hint of ruthlessness. magpie immediately felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his neck, making it hard to breathe.
"I look at your lips because besides the words spoken by Fengyi, I can't hear any other sound in this world. When I talk to people, I can only rely on lip-reading to understand what they are saying."
His gaze slowly moves upward, and the corners of his mouth still maintain a gentle curve as if about to drip water. "Knowing this, can you close your eyes too?"
While speaking, magpie was already lifted up, his face turning purple, but Yuheng showed no sign of loosening, with a fierce look in her eyes.
If it weren't for her reminder, he would almost forget that he was no longer the so-called immortal. People all say that she is the one who has burdened him, but in fact, everything started because of him. She is the most innocent one!
"Fengyi, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay what I owe you." A deep sigh escaped from the lips, Yuheng's eyes flashed with coldness, as if about to break the magpie's neck, but then realized a familiar presence was close by.
Oops, my emotions were too agitated just now, I completely failed to notice.
Yuheng clenched his fist, just moments ago he had a life in his hands, but now he dared not turn around.
And behind him, Fengyi was only seven steps away.
"Yuheng, what do you owe me?"
