Author: Lotus Heart Mortal
Somewhere in the Spirit World, Lin Xuan, already at mid-Dongxuan stage, fled in a sorry state under the pursuit of Wood Longevity Beast's true body. Suddenly, he saw Peacock, whom he had searched for in vain ever since arriving in the Spirit World. At her side stood an unfamiliar young man of extraordinary handsomeness and elegance.
At the sight of Peacock, Lin Xuan was first overjoyed. But when he remembered his perilous situation and discovered that Peacock was only at late-Lihe stage, his heart abruptly sank. He kept shouting for her to flee, his heart burning like fire! Yet Peacock instead rushed forward and called, "Kongxuan, darling, go! Drive that nasty vicious beast away."
The young man Lin Xuan had seen earlier immediately flashed before him. After giving him a faint smile, he launched into a fierce battle with Wood Longevity Beast. They appeared evenly matched, yet Lin Xuan stood frozen where he was. There was neither the joy of escaping the tiger's jaws nor the excitement of seeing Peacock again. Only one word kept reverberating through his mind: Darling, darling, darling...
Lin Xuan watched, inexplicably tight-chested, as Peacock cast a gaze overflowing with love toward the handsome man battling the beast. With his low emotional intelligence, he was speechless for a time.
With a thunderous BANG..., Lin Xuan's muddled thoughts were interrupted. Looking up, he found that only the young man remained, having transformed into a Peacock. His sturdy body stood tall and firm, while the vicious beast had long since vanished without a trace.
A short while later, the young man changed back into human form. When his body swayed as though he were about to fall, Peacock hurried over and lovingly supported him in her embrace, while he affectionately leaned against her bosom.
