Chapter 529 - The Solution (2/2)

Wu Yuanwei looked around and finally spotted the little red bird on Ou Yangming’s shoulder. He had the strangest look on his face because the seemingly insignificant little bird could not only speak, but it sounded exactly like the young fellow.

“You, this…” He asked in confusion.

“Senior Wu, it’s a misunderstanding.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.

“A misunderstanding my *ss!” The little red bird was furious. “Isn’t it just an interspatial pa.s.sage? If the Humans don’t build it, I’ll do it!”

Ou Yangming pressed his forehead. Perhaps the little red bird would be capable of doing that if it matured, but if he really counted on a young bird to complete the task, it would not be finished even if he died.

He reached out to hold down the little red bird. “Lil’ Red, don’t speak nonsense.”

Wu Yuanwei and Hong Feiyu widened their eyes because it was their first time seeing the little red bird speak.

“Is this a spirit beast?”

Ou Yangming answered after a moment of hesitation, “Lil’ Red is a spirit beast indeed, but it can’t do much and can’t be compared with Multi-armed King Kong and the rest.”

Wu Yuanwei and Hong Feiyu were finally enlightened. Despite that, as long as it was a spirit beast, it must not be underestimated regardless of its race.

The little red bird pecked Ou Yangming ruthlessly several times, but its indestructible beak only left a few tiny red spots on the young fellow’s hand, by which his skin was not scratched at all.

This was not because the little bird was inadequate; if it exerted its true force, it could make a large b.l.o.o.d.y hole on Ou Yangming’s arm at once. In fact, if the bird went all-out, it could easily split the young fellow’s arm. Having said that, it was only doing this to vent its anger, thus it did not really harm Ou Yangming.

‘The little red bird can’t do much?’ Multi-armed King Kong and Big Yellow had weird looks in their eyes. Perhaps Ou Yangming was the only one who could say so. That said, it was true that the little bird could not be compared with the king kong and the others because how could the n.o.ble creature be mentioned on equal terms with the lowly beasts?

“Master Ou, what do you think about this? Let’s build the pa.s.sage first and agree on a certain time frame. Depending on the boundary you’re able to cultivate to within the period, you’ll receive a corresponding treatment,” Wu Yuanwei suggested after some thought and added seriously, “Given that you advanced to Spirit Grade in this realm, you’ll have a promising future and might even become a Venerable One once you go beyond this world. If you really succeed…” His eyes gleamed with excitement as he was looking forward to it.

Hong Feiyu rolled his eyes and commented, “Brother Wu, aren’t you being insincere? Hmph, how can one become a Venerable One so easily?”

Wu Yuanwei smiled faintly and replied to him, “Brother Hong, you’re with Master Ou now, but you don’t know much about his past, do you?”

Hong Feiyu flushed and cleared his throat before he answered, “The past isn’t important.”

“Then you can’t be blamed, Brother Hong. Hehe, Master Ou’s best known for creating miracles!” Wu Yuanwei laughed out loud.

Feeling stupefied, Hong Feiyu turned to look meaningfully at Ou Yangming.

“Senior Wu, you’re overpraising me.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. “Since you’ve considered everything so well, I’ll comply with you.”

Wu Yuanwei was elated. “Alright, I’ll be leaving first then. I hope I’ll receive good news when you arrive at the capital.”

He cupped his hands and left.

Hong Feiyu shook his head and said, “Brother Ou, you’re being too easy. Even if we fail to ask for a tenth, a hundredth sounds amazing too!”

After all, there were countless treasures in the world. A hundredth of everything would be coveted by many as it would be enough for a clan’s long-term development.

Although Hong Feiyu respected Ou Yangming very much, he was not confident that the young fellow would become a Venerable One.

It was worth noting that the Venerable Ones were also exceptionally rare in the upper realm.

Ou Yangming said with a smile, “Brother Hong, it’s important to be content.”

Hong Feiyu was struck dumb, then he responded with a bitter smile, “Brother Ou, perhaps you’re right.”

Nonetheless, the little red bird on Ou Yangming’s shoulder sneered. ‘How dare you ask the Phoenixes to contribute by offering a tenth of the profit? That’s wishful thinking! If I don’t make you willingly present us with half of everything, I don’t deserve to be a part of the Phoenixes!’

It lifted its head high and naturally released a proud aura.

Hong Feiyu looked at it in shock and somehow felt a chill in his heart, so he shuddered.

He thought, ‘This is so odd…’
