Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Lord Phoenix silently collected the demon pills into his sleeve, then turned to leave. He never planned to even bother with Han Moze.

Han Moze gritted his teeth at the tall silhouette who was leaving. “What do you want in return for Shuang’Er’s freedom?” He said chillingly.

Lord Phoenix halted for a moment, then spoke in a low and chilling voice. “You are simply not worthy of Fire Phoenix! She should be with someone better!”

Han Moze’s face instantly looked dark and dreary like the overcast sky. “What do you mean by that? Shuang’er and I are truly in love. No given reason is enough to break us apart!” He said in a dreary voice.

“Yeah! You’re messed up in the head! What kind of man are you to break up a married couple out of nowhere?” said Lian Jiuhua as he glared at Lord Phoenix with disdain and a hint of a mocking smirk. So what if this guy was powerful? He wasn’t as intelligent and sensible as he looked!

Han Moxi rode up to Han Moze’s side, then sincerely spoke to Lord Phoenix. “My royal brother and sister-in-law are truly in love. I hope you’ll quit trying to break them apart!”

The emotionless Lord Phoenix spoke in a lifeless voice but his words revealed his annoyance and affirmity. “Unworthy means unworthy. I don’t want to say more!”

Han Moze furrowed his sharp brows and had a chilling sense of anger in his eyes. “What right do you have to decide on who Shuang’er should be with?”

Lord Phoenix spoke in his same ice-cold and lifeless voice. “Soon, I’ll be taking Phoenix back to the celestial realm and she will no longer exist in the mortal realm.”

When Han Moze and the others heard what Lord Phoenix said, their eyes instantly shot wide open.

A slight hint of fear crossed Han Moze’s face and his voice trembled slightly. “I-is… what y-you’re… saying true?”

“Of course it’s true,” Lord Phoenix moved slightly, as though he didn’t want to speak anymore.

Han Moze tightly gripped onto the reigns and steadied himself. “Don’t go just yet. I still want to ask you, w-what… what do I need to do to be worthy of Shuang’er? Tell me!” He cried in a brash voice.

Lord Phoenix’s violet eyes glistened. “At the very least, you have to defeat me!” He said flatly.

Han Moze took a deep breath, then looked at Lord Phoenix. “Then do you dare officially fight me?” He said with a decisive and determined voice.

Lord Phoenix heard Han Moze’s stubborn and unyielding voice. His body froze for a moment, then he turned his head to see the determined look on Han Moze’s face. His eyes glimmered for a moment, then he replied seconds later, “Alright, but you’re currently injured. I don’t want to defeat you in this state. I’ll come find you in ten day’s time. I hope you’re ready by then!”

Han Moze squinted coldly, then stared straight at him with a piercing gaze. “When the time comes, I hope you don’t regret it!” He said in all seriousness.

Lord Phoenix grinned emotionlessly, then conjured up a tornado on the spot without warning. With that, he disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

Lian Jiuhua stared at the spot where Lord Phoenix disappeared with admiration in his eyes, and couldn’t help but compliment him. “Woah… he appeared out of nowhere and left without a trace! Amazing! Truly amazing!” He sighed.

When Han Moze heard this, he shot a chilling gaze at him.

Lian Jiuhua immediately got that he misspoke. “Not amazing! Not amazing in the slightest! It’s just disappearing out of nowhere! Pshhh… Little brother, you can do that too, can’t you?” He said in embarrassment.

Cold sweat dripped from Han Moxi’s face and his lips twitched. “Brother Jiuhua, how could you hype someone up and not look at your own strength?” Although he was right!

Dark clouds shrouded Han Moze’s face. What kind of brothers are they?

Han Moze stared at the spot where Lord Phoenix disappeared. Then, he slightly raised his head to reveal a completely unyielding and stubborn look on his face! He had to defeat that person! Shuang’er, wait for me!
