Book 4: Chapter 2: Fighting Chicken
Staying up late to prepare Tang Ruowei’s necessary talisman and pill, early the next morning, Bai Qiuran took Tang Ruowei to the main peak of the Qingming Sword Sect.
Tang Ruowei was going to assemble and set off with the exploration team, and although Bai Qiuran didn’t tell them that he would also go to the mánion, nominally he had to take the Qingming Sword Sect team to the town.
He wanted to go in, so Jue Yunzi had to go with him. When Bai Qiuran entered, he would become the host instead.
It was embarrassing for Bai Qiuran to let his apprentice bring him over the main peak by flying sword. As soon as Bai Qiuran landed, he saw a dark figure rushing towards him.
“Damned old man, see my kick!”
The little dark figure yelled, jumped up high, and kicked him in the face.
Bai Qiuran subconsciously slapped her to the side, and the black shadow rolled and fell into a bush on the side of the road. Then a girl who was about twelve or thirteen years old was touching her head and crying out in pain.
“What?”
Seeing this little girl, Bai Qiuran was stunned for a moment, and then said:
“Little Egg, is it you?”
“What the hell is Little Egg?”
Tang Ruowei was shocked.
“Master, this is Sister Qing Danying, one of the guardian spirit beasts of the Qingming Sword Sect.”
“I know.”
Bai Qiuran nodded. At this moment, Qing Danying had stood up. She patted the weeds on her head, yelled, and put on a fist posture with her arms raised flat, like a cross.
“Damned thief! Look at my new move!”
Qing Danying shouted angrily to Bai Qiuran:
“This move is the posture I have learned from the supreme cultivation technique of my clan. It is like a phoenix on the parasol tree (1) spreading its wings, possessing the power of burning everything into ashes! This move will definitely beat you!”
“Little Egg...”
Bai Qiuran said to her lightly:
“You are a chicken, don’t pretend to be a phoenix...”
“Shut up!”
Qing Danying’s face flushed with anger, furious.
“Take my move – Sky Soaring Cross Phoenix——”
She jumped high, hovering around her body with a mysterious emerald green fire, and then the little girl waggled her tail in mid-air, kicking it straight towards Bai Qiuran’s face.
Although this kick looked a bit funny, its power was real. As one of the guardian spirit beasts, Qing Danying’s cultivation level was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. If this kick hit a mountain, it could directly blast the mountain’s top half away, not to mention the emerald green fire released by Qing Danying, which made it even more powerful.
But unfortunately, the target of her attack was the old monster Bai Qiuran who had lived for three thousand years.
Immediately before Qing Danying’s kick hit, Bai Qiuran has seen through the trajectory of her attacks. Although the little girl was extremely fast, he still grabbed her ankle easily and lifted it upside down.
As for the green fire mixed with the attack, Bai Qiuran unloaded it into the sky casually, knocking out a big hole in the sky, and then bursting into an emerald green firework.
“Little girl, if you want to defeat me, go back and train for two to three thousand years more.”
Bai Qiuran shook Qing Danying, then threw her aside.
The little girl gave a painful grunt, rolled on the ground twice, then got up and stared at Bai Qiuran with angry eyes.
“Sister Qing Danying.”
Tang Ruowei persuaded:
“Give up, you can’t beat him.”
Qing Danying’s face blushed and white, then snorted and turned her head:
“Come to gather!”
Taking a duck-like step like a king, she walked past Bai Qiuran with her head high and walked further inward.
Tang Ruowei took the opportunity to walk up, and whispered to Bai Qiuran:
“Master, have you had a problem with her?”
“This... when you joined the sect, didn’t that stinky boy Jue Yunzi told you that I raised a chicken that has transformed into human form?”
Bai Qiuran scratched his face, a little ashamed.
“She is that chicken.”
“Ah... what?”
Tang Ruowei said in surprise:
“But I heard people say that Sister Qing Danying is really a Blue Pheasant, the legendary bird of good fortune?”
“Yes, but when I picked her up at the vegetable market in the town under the mountain, she was thin and small, and her fur was still black. I thought it was a silky chicken.”
Bai Qiuran touched his chin and said:
“Later after one or two hundred years of raising, her fur color became bluer and bluer. I wondered if the chicken had mutated from eating some herb...”
Tang Ruowei was speechless, and then asked:
“Then why is she so hostile to you? Logically, aren’t you her master?”
“Yeah, I am puzzled too.”
Bai Qiuran replied:
“Even if she is a Blue Pheasant, I didn’t ask her to do anything special and have fed her well. At most, I let her lays an egg every day to improve my meal. What’s wrong ...”
“This... I think there is a record in the ancient books that the sacred birds such as the Blue Pheasant and Phoenix saw their eggs as children...”
Tang Ruowei hesitated for a long time, but still whispered:
“Then I think you deserve it.”
“But I did everything. After the girl transformed into human form, she kicked me in the face without saying anything, and then ran to the main peak and didn’t go back.”
Bai Qiuran touched his head.
“Then I can’t help but let her hate me.”
Tang Ruowei sighed helplessly.
The master and apprentice walked side by side to the school grounds of Qingming Sword Sect. Other direct disciples had already arrived one after another, and the head of the sect, Jue Yunzi, was also standing in front of the school grounds.
Qing Danying, who had just rushed in, also stood akimbo beside Jue Yunzi, like a big sister, when she saw Bai Qiuran coming in, she snorted and twisted her head aside.
Bai Qiuran ignored her and led Tang Ruowei all the way forward. He walked to the other side of Jue Yunzi, while Tang Ruowei got into the team of his disciples and stood at the back of the team.
And at this time, Bai Qiuran finally saw another Heavenly-level Spiritual Root disciple who was accepted as a direct disciple by Jue Yunzi.
This is an ordinary-looking young man who looks a little woody, wearing a dress that was passed down to him, standing among other disciples, as if in a daze.
Bai Qiuran took a look and found that his attribute was Metal, which coincided with the attributes of Jue Yunzi’s favorite Sharp Golden Sword. His current cultivation level was roughly in the late period of the Foundation Establishment stage, which was slightly weaker than Tang Ruowei who has reached the peak. But Tang Ruowei currently cultivated in other areas, while this young man solely focused on the sword, his sword aura seemed to have been initially solidified. If Tang Ruowei really fought him, who would win was still unclear.
Nodding in satisfaction, Bai Qiuran and Jue Yunzi looked at each other. The latter apparently noticed Bai Qiuran’s gaze and showed him a slightly proud smile.
Then he raised his hand and began to announce to these disciples what they would do when exploring the Immortal Mansion.
