Setting the Maybach Crane Free

Gao Yunyi very unhappy.

He was bombed by explosives and beaten by tens of thousands of people outside.

That wretched bird actually hid away and didn't even show its head.

When it is found,

It was discovered that this wretched bird was actually surrounded by beauties, enjoying a harem of wives and concubines, reveling in the bliss of being a multi-bird.

This made him even more unhappy.

Why should I?

He doesn't even have a girlfriend right now.

Why is it that this wretched bird has already reached the pinnacle of bird life?

Who is really the master here?

Gao Yunyi admitted that he was jealous, and it was partly due to personal grudges.

I was thinking that even if this wretched bird didn't do anything right, it still put in some effort, so I'd spare its corpse.

But now, sparing him a thousand cuts is already the greatest mercy he can show.

He'd already given this wretched bird a chance; since it didn't appreciate it, then let it go in peace.

So Gao Yunyi took out his +6 Star-Pattern Sword. Unexpectedly, the first time this sword drank blood, it was used on this wretched bird.

"Immortal Venerable, spare the bird beneath your sword."

Gao Yunyi stopped swinging his sword, not because he still had feelings for the wretched bird, but because the words he heard sounded strange.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he wanted to castrate himself.

Turning his head,

Xiao Zhaohuang, who hadn't even had time to take off his armor, was rushing over on horseback.

He was followed by a group of personal guards.

When they reached the edge of this mudflat,

Xiao Zhaohuang dismounted, knelt, and kowtowed, his attitude extremely respectful.

"Xiao Zhaohuang pays respects to Azure Profound Immortal Venerable."

Gao Yunyi did not sheath his sword, but simply asked a question.

What is it?

Xiao Zhaohuang quickly interjected, "Immortal Venerable, please show mercy! This Spirit Pet has followed you for many years, its loyalty unwavering. It did not intentionally betray its master. I sent many White Cranes to keep it company, leaving it here due to mortal ties. The fault lies with me, not with it."

"It merely craved the company of its kind and was momentarily blinded by its own nature; it did not commit a grave crime. Why must the Immortal Venerable so cruelly kill it, personally burying the spirit that has followed you for so long? I will bear all the blame; I beg the Immortal Venerable to spare its life."

Although the Maybach Crane couldn't understand what the woman meant by her long string of words, it could guess that she was pleading for its life.

He immediately gave Xiao Zhaohuang a grateful look.

Gao Yunyi, on the other hand, laughed upon hearing this.

You shall bear all the blame.

How will you take responsibility?

Do you want me to whip you?

Huh--

This idea seems pretty good.

Gao Yunyi somewhat tempted.

After all, that whip has only been used on birds, never on people, so I don't know how it feels.

However, the woman's words reminded him.

He had raised the Maybach Crane with precious Spirit-Feeding Pills, and although he now had many Spirit-Feeding Pills in his backpack, it would be a waste to kill it directly.

Why not make use of it?

Thinking of this, Gao Yunyi transformed into a streak of light and appeared in front of Xiao Zhaohuang in the next second.

"You really like my bird?"

Xiao Zhaohuang: "..."

The bird mentioned by the Immortal probably refers to Immortal Bird; it likely doesn't have any other meaning.

"I... I like..."

Although he knew the Immortal didn't mean anything by it, Xiao Zhaohuang was still too embarrassed to speak, and in the end he could only bite the bullet and stammer out the answer.

How about I sell it to you?

Gao Yunyi asked.

"Ah???"

Xiao Zhaohuang was stunned.

Can celestial Spirit Pets be bought and sold freely?

Immortals are becoming increasingly unpredictable.

But seeing that the Immortal didn't seem to be joking, Xiao Zhaohuang suppressed his surprise and spoke.

I'll buy it.

But then she realized another problem: earthly treasures can be bought with gold and silver, but what can be used to acquire celestial Spirit Pets?

So he asked in a low voice.

"What price will Zhao Huang have to pay?"

Gao Yunyi replied, "Any rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures will do. Hundred-year-old snow lotus, thousand-year-old ginseng, lingzhi mushrooms, he shou wu, and the like are all acceptable. The rarer the better, the older the better, the more the merrier."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhaohuang was shocked.

It's not because the cost is too high, but because it's too simple.

These heavenly materials and earthly treasures might be priceless for ordinary people, but they are not difficult for the royal family to obtain.

The palace alone holds a considerable number of these items.

"Very well, I will immediately order the collection of all heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the entire Capital, and then present them to the Immortal Venerable."

After saying that,

Xiao Zhaohuang raised his hand, and the personal guard behind him understood and took his leave.

Now that the deal is done, the bird's life is saved.

Gao Yunyi is not the kind of person who goes back on his word.

Simply open the Spirit Pet Slot, select Maybach Crane, and then release it.

As a blue light flashed across the Maybach Crane, which was still unaware of what had happened, Gao Yunyi's master-servant relationship with it was officially dissolved.

From now on,

The Maybach Crane has gained true freedom.

But there was no sign of joy on its face; instead, it stood there dumbfounded, looking completely bewildered.

It suddenly realized that it could no longer sense its owner's presence.

The owner was right in front of them.

The unspoken bond that once the Unseen seemed to vanish without a trace.

Maybach Crane

Well...

Wrong,

With the dissolution of the master-servant relationship, the name that belonged exclusively to it was also removed.

The Crane King, now free, was in a panic.

The collar around its neck is gone, and now it can do whatever it wants. No one can restrain or whip it anymore.

But it was like a homeless child, unable to resist wanting to get closer to its owner.

But when Gao Yunyi's cold eyes fell upon it, it froze in place like a stray dog that had been cruelly abandoned, its eyes pitiful and helpless.

"It's yours now. Do you need me to give you another whip?"

Gao Yunyi showed no sadness or reluctance on his face; instead, he seemed relaxed and indifferent, as if he had finally gotten rid of a useless burden.

Xiao Zhaohuang quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, thank you for your kindness, Immortal Venerable."

She cherished this phoenix-like celestial Immortal Bird too much to bear whipping it.

From this day forward,

This celestial Immortal Bird is not only the national guardian Divine Beast of her Liang Kingdom, but also the royal totem of her Xiao Household.

She wanted to use this Immortal Bird to make the Xiao Household and the Liang Kingdom great again.

Thinking about this,

A burning light suddenly flashed in Xiao Zhaohuang's eyes, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The Immortal was being way too kind to her.

She no longer knew how to repay the Immortal.

She wanted to repay him with her body.

I do not seek fame or favor.

Even if it's just a one-night stand, a fleeting affair,

She did it all willingly, without complaint or regret.

But why didn't the Immortal even glance at her again?

Is it truly a case of unrequited love?

Xiao Zhaohuang, who had just been excited about obtaining the Immortal Bird, was filled with bitterness and desolation after seeing the Immortal's heartless back.

Gao Yunyi stood on the shore,

Facing the wide and clear Phoenix Yi Lake.

Then he waved his hand gently.

Come out.

Bai Suzhen.
