Chapter 246 (2/2)
This was f.u.c.king embarra.s.sing!
“You guys actually have this kind of relations.h.i.+p?” Feng Jingyu jumped onto the roof beam in an instant before Lin Xuanzhi could reach out and catch him. His eyes were so wide and he almost yelled out.
“Aren’t you brothers? You can still do this between brothers? You’re really going to blind this king!”
Although Yan Tianhen tried his best to show his maturity and openness in front of Lin Xuanzhi, he was forcing himself in those instances, with some inability to restrain his emotions mixed into the equation. However, it was too d.a.m.ned embarra.s.sing when it was seen by this bird, who pointed this out so clearly.
As a result, Yan Tianhen felt ashamed and resentful. He grabbed a shoe on the edge of the bed and threw it towards Feng Jingyu, “Did I steal your rice? None of your business! Who told you to come in without knocking?”
Feng Jingyu fluttered his wings and avoided the shoe.
Ah Bai, who was originally lying beside the bed, didn’t know how to think about it. Suddenly, he swooped down and pressed Hu Po to the ground, then leaned closer to gnaw at Hu Po’s mouth.
Hu Po was stunned for a moment before releasing a loud screech. He swiped Ah Bai away with a claw and slipped hurriedly under the bed like an offended daughter-in-law.
Seeing this scene, Yan Tianhen nearly puked out a mouthful of blood.
Feng Jingyu, who witnessed this, flew around with glee, “Let’s teach the children bad things. These two tiger cubs are still milk-sucking babies. Sooner or later, they will be led astray by you.”
Yan Tianhen’s face turned red as a tomato. He accidentally caught sight of Lin Xuanzhi’s calm smile and immediately combusted on the spot. He uncovered the quilt and buried his head in it like an ostrich.
Lin Xuanzhi comforted him for a while until, eventually, Yan Tianhen lifted his head from the quilt.
After the uproar was over, Lin Xuanzhi looked at the phoenix comfortable in his cradle, “You came back early.”
“Don’t even mention it. The Five Continents are just evil. It’s as though it was covered by a huge barrier; I can’t find a way out of here at all.” Feng Jingyu’s round and small body turned over in a circle, stood up, and patted his wings. His childish voice angrily said, “I can only come in but not out. It’s simply horrible, . Moreover, this king’s cultivation has been confined to the Seventh Star Infant Stage. Maybe one day, if I’m not careful, I will be caught and roasted to be eaten! It’s really p.i.s.sing this king off!”
Yan Tianhen watched the small shape of Feng Jingyu and thought he looked very cute. He slipped into his shoes and came to the cradle he had personally made for Maomao. He held out his right hand to hold the little phoenix in his hand.
Not only did Feng Jingyu not reject him, he also very affectionately rubbed on Yan Tianhen’s hand.
Young birds liked to be spoiled, especially pitiful birds like Feng Jingyu, who lacked love and affection ever since he was still in the egg.
“Rest a.s.sured.” Yan Tianhen patted his chest and promised, “Follow me in the future and you will never be roasted or eaten. You’ll be treated well.”
Feng Jingyu was born to be a king. Since the day he broke out of his sh.e.l.l, his cultivation level was equivalent to that of a Primary Realm elemental cultivator. By all logic, he should have no respect for Yan Tianhen, a boy who was just in the Foundation Stage.
But Feng Jingyu did not think Yan Tianhen overreached. Instead, he held Yan Tianhen’s thumb with a small foot, “ and I’ll follow you in the future. “
“Okay, okay.” Yan Tianhen hooked his thumb and whispered earnestly, “If I go to the Nine Lands with my Dage in the future, you’ll have to protect us.”
Feng Jingyu clapped his chest as a pledge, “Of course. When this king was in the Nine Lands, he walked !”
Yan Tianhen asked, “Walked sideways? Isn’t that a crab?”
“….”
Lin Xuanzhi sat on the couch and looked at the bald bird who was constantly rubbing against Yan Tianhen. “I always thought phoenixes were the king of birds with magnificent feathers, great vigor, and elegant taste. But when I saw you, I knew that the rumors couldn’t be believed.”
Feng Jingyu flew up and sat down on Yan Tianhen’s head, “You must have heard of a phoenix’s death and rebirth by fire. My appearance is one that just died and was reborn in the fire. All my feathers were burnt to ashes and now they’re all baby down. Of course, it doesn’t look very nice. But in a few more years, I’ll be rid of this baby down and you’ll never find a bird more beautiful than me.”
Speaking of which, Feng Jingyu held his head high, showing a confident and proud kingly air.
Feng Jingyu mentioned “death and rebirth” calmly and lightly, as if he was talking about eating and drinking water.
Yan Tianhen was concerned and asked, “Maomao, you said you died once. What happened?”
Feng Jingyu let out a cry and covered his eyes with a wing, “My skills weren’t good enough. I lost a fight and was kicked into this place where even birds felt hurt. Bringing it up fills me with bitter tears.”
Lin Xuanzhi glanced lightly at the playful phoenix and warned, “Since you are the king of the West Imperial Palace, if you cannot go back after many years, the Western Land may fall into chaos.”
Feng Jingyu carelessly cut some of Yan Tianhen’s thick hair with his claws while saying, “The ministers of the West Imperial Palace are not placed there for decoration. Anyways, when I was there, I also ignored governing affairs and ate, drank, and played with fox and dog friends, fighting chickens and walking dogs all day.”
“Then you and Yuyang Gege are a match made in Heaven.” Yan Tianhen said.
