Chapter 516 - : Switching From Arrogance To Humility (1/2)

The fearsome force equivalent to the weight of a mountain completely disappeared from the room. On top of that, the illusory figure of a Venerable One was also looking at Ou Yangming like a friendly old man next door.

The figure’s expression at the moment and the one before were simply Heaven and Earth apart, causing a stark yet indescribable contrast.

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded when he looked at Zhiming the Venerable One, and he could not get around it.

‘Why did this fella change just like that as if it’s child’s play?’ If Ou Yangming had not confirmed that the figure’s forceful aura was of the same level as that of the Ghost-clawed Venerable One’s, he would have suspected the figure’s real ident.i.ty. Nonetheless, the young fellow was relieved when there was a 180-degree change in the figure’s att.i.tude.

He cupped his hands and bowed at the figure.

Given his status, it would be fine for him to salute a Venerable One.

Who knew, the little red bird became fidgety when he bowed, and it jumped from his shoulder to his other shoulder. “Hey, hey! What are you doing? Are you going to turn me upside down?”

The illusory figure of Zhiming the Venerable One widened his eyes too. ‘This little bird treats Ou Yangming with an unordinary att.i.tude indeed.’

Next, something more unbelievable happened in front of him.

Ou Yangming reached out to grab the raging little red bird and uttered softly, “It’s fine, so don’t speak nonsense.”

The little red bird struggled a little, then it looked away and shouted, “You mustn’t bow at this fella at all because he doesn’t deserve it!”

Zhiming the Venerable One fixed his gaze on Ou Yangming hand. Fortunately, he was only present in the form of his projection instead of his real self. If that was not the case, the young fellow would be able to tell that he had broken out in a cold sweat.

‘Does this human know how to spell the word “death”?’

Moreover, the fact that Ou Yangming was still alive had overturned the Venerable One’s understanding of the world.

Despite that, on second thought, Zhiming the Venerable One suddenly understood why Ou Yangming could cultivate to Spirit Grade in this realm and could conquer three spirit beasts even when he was merely cultivator from the lower realm. It turned out that this was the real reason.

In actuality, he had only guessed half of it right. It was true that Ou Yangming could take control of Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk because of the little red bird, but the advancement of his cultivation base did not have much to do with the little bird.

The little red bird had long regarded Ou Yangming as its comrade. Besides, the young fellow even saved it when it was struck by the Heavenly Thunderbolts, so the relations.h.i.+p between them was so deep that it was indescribable.

Anyone else would be courting death if they treated the little red bird as Ou Yangming did. If it spat flames through its mouth, one would be burnt into ashes for sure without leaving any trace. On the contrary, the little bird would complain or peck the young fellow with controlled power at most.

The treatment could not be imagined by Zhiming the Venerable One at all.

Even so, the more casual Ou Yangming treated the little red bird, the more alert and shocked the Venerable One was.

When he looked at Ou Yangming again, there was a drastic change in his look.

Ou Yangming turned around and blinked at the little red bird. He had guessed that the Venerable One was acting differently because of the little fellow.

n.o.body in this realm could recognize the little red bird’s origin, but Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were familiar with it. In that case, it would not be odd for a Venerable One from the upper realm to recognize it too.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming could utilize the little bird’s ident.i.ty, but he was unwilling to become enemies with a Venerable One.

He turned to look and approached Big Yellow, then he placed the little red bird on its back. “Lil’ Red, I’ll handle this myself. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, please don’t meddle in this.”

The little red bird scoffed coldly, and it stared hatefully at the illusory figure of Zhiming the Venerable One.

Zhiming the Venerable One cried bitterly and regretted what he did. If the little bird bore a grudge against him because of this, the Feng family would be restless from now on.

Big Yellow quivered a little. It turned its head and stuck out its tongue flatteringly at the little red bird. Ou Yangming was speechless upon seeing this and wondered why the big yellow dog lost its integrity.

He shook his head and returned to his spot. “Senior, why did you come to the lower realm? Do you have an order for me?”

Zhiming the Venerable One let out a hollow laugh. “I… Oh, I heard that a young genius emerged in this realm. He was said to have triumphed over all of his opponents and even suppressed and subdued spirit beasts one after another, so I came to take a look. Now, I see that you’re indeed an extraordinary genius, and it makes sense that you’ve had such accomplishments.” He smiled with his eyes squinted and flattered Ou Yangming.

Flattery would get him everywhere…

Sure enough, the little red bird on Big Yellow was not that hostile anymore after Zhiming the Venerable One said those words. In fact, the little bird even looked proud.

‘Hmph, this old fella has a good eye indeed, but I’m the one that really has a good eye!’
