Chapter 235: The Triumph of the Love-Struck Brain

Feng Rong widened his eyes, giving Ming Ye a peculiar up-and-down glance. His brows twitched erratically, face twisting into conflicted silence. Yet You You inexplicably read his gaze—it was unmistakably the look one gives a fool.

“Divine Lord Feng…” Ming Ye pressed on, mistaking hesitation for interest. “This girl has unusual power for a celestial maiden, but countless women exist. Once the Feng Clan reclaims its ancient glory, all realms will kneel. Why oppose me now when any maiden could be yours?”

“…” Feng Rong’s expression grew more tortured.

“Stay neutral,” Ming Ye urged, “and gain everything.”

After a long pause, Feng Rong spoke gravely:

“Are you… blind?”

Ming Ye: “…”

You You: “…”

Crowd: “…”

“You call yourself wise yet miss this?” Feng Rong jabbed his forehead. “See this contract mark? It’s a Follower’s pledge. Our clan bonds once for eternity! I searched ages to find her, yet you expect me to abandon her? Did you lose your brains while washing your hair?”

“…”

“Even if you offered the Three Realms, no phoenix would betray their chosen! You insult my divine status! Other women? None match a single hair on my You You! Know how hard it is for phoenixes to find mates? I’m the fastest in history! For us, a mate outweighs all!”

“…”

“I’ve long despised you. The Feng Clan is noble, unlike you—keeping a male demon immortal as a pet, using body-snatching and inner dan tricks. Think I’d join your perversions? I’m a proper contracted phoenix!”

Crowd: “…”

Silence gripped the Immortal Palace. Eyes darted between the fallen Seventh Heavenly Emperor and Ming Ye.

A shocking truth seemed laid bare. Was… the love-struck mindset contagious?

Ming Ye’s face cycled through colors before he roared: “Silence!”

“Fight me then!” Feng Rong summoned a fireball, tossing it mockingly. “Let’s see you try!”

“Die!” Ming Ye abandoned diplomacy, attacking furiously. Flames engulfed the arena as he barked at the other Divine Lords: “Help!”

The two joined hesitantly, keeping distance from Ming Ye as if fearing contamination.

Feng Rong’s phoenix flames blazed brighter. Despite facing three gods, his ancient heritage and True Fire of the Phoenix gave him dominance. The Seventh Heavenly Layer reddened, its palace crumbling as immortals fled.

Ming Ye seethed. He’d assumed the Feng Clan’s revival desires made them manipulable. But this phoenix’s single-minded devotion defied reason!

Grim resolve hardened Ming Ye’s face. While luring Feng Rong away from the Sacred Pond, he shouted: “Seize the emperor’s murderer!”

Male immortals swarmed You You, spells lighting the sky. Ming Ye grinned—Feng Rong couldn’t return in time.

Yet Feng Rong didn’t glance back, flames intensifying instead.

Before Ming Ye’s smirk faded, a battle cry shook heaven:

“No man in heart, sword becomes art!”

White sword light erupted, devouring the palace. Dawn-bright blades purged phoenix fire, leaving crystalline silence.

“…”
