Lovebird's Gift (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Bu Wan Fuzhu)
After bidding farewell to Gu Shuanglin, Qin Yi carried the bird egg with him, studying it all the way. The egg did indeed contain a gentle power, devoid of any malice. Analyzing its composition, it was clearly used to manipulate and influence the emotions of those around him.
Liusu said, "If you smash and analyze this kind of thing, it might have other uses. It's hard to analyze it just from its appearance. If the special mysteries of Law Treasure could be seen at a glance, then the person who refined the Law Treasure would have wasted their time."
Qin Yi said, "Then let's go back and smash it up to see."
Liusu asked curiously, "Even if it has other uses, it certainly won't be activated casually. You can definitely use its basic effects in the short term. Are you really willing to just smash it and not use it for a few days to flirt with some winged girls?"
Qin Yi smiled, "What he said seems reasonable, but it's actually fallacy. First of all, those Uwabami Bird steal other people's children to raise, they don't adopt them out of kindness, they are Summer Harvest Bird. They take other people's children, amplify the other person's feelings and think they are their own, they make things that are clearly wrong sound so right..."
Liusu said, "These wingless ones, like Gu Shuanglin, might be adopted?"
"Possibly." Qin Yi wasn't interested in whether Gu Shuanglin was adopted, and continued, "Besides, no one has the right to forcibly influence another person's feelings with external objects, regardless of whether they originally had feelings for each other. Just like I have feelings for the Demon Slaying Sword, but if someone tries to force me to prioritize my feelings for the Demon Slaying Sword over my feelings for you, that would be harming me. And he seriously says that this doesn't count as harming someone?"
Liusu was secretly pleased to hear this, but she kept a straight face and said, "Why are you comparing me to a broken sword?"
"Uh? That's just a metaphor." Qin Yi smiled ingratiatingly, "Bangbang is the best."
Liusu didn't ask him who he valued more, himself or those other women. She simply said, "You're not wrong. Even if there are feelings involved, everyone thinks they are the most important. Being forced to obey others is harmful."
Qin Yi really wanted to say that he might not be the most important person in his heart.
But since such things haven't been put to the test, saying them would just be empty talk, and he might not even have the confidence to back it up, so he didn't respond. Instead, he said, "Anyway, whether it's getting married or marrying into the family, one should earn their status through their own abilities. Even if it's a marriage arranged by matchmaking, if there's no affection at the beginning, that affection should be cultivated slowly. If you're going to use external gifts, you should give the other person something they like, but what they're thinking about is using Law Treasure to influence souls. Their values are twisted. If any winged girl were to actually be with them, I'm afraid there would be problems."
Before Liusu could answer, a soft whisper came from the air, "Well said."
Qin Yi looked up and saw what appeared to be a two-headed bird flying in the moonlight, slowly descending.
When you get closer, you can see two bodies, one green and one red, flying together.
Lovebirds?
Sensing the powerful Qian Yuan Aura emanating from the pair of winged birds, Qin Yi took a half-step back and gasped, "You also have Qian Yuan aura. So, that makes two Qian Yuan auras?"
The pair of lovebirds smiled slightly, "We only count as one person."
"The Lovebird God?"
"Yes," the lovebirds laughed, "You don't understand these eggs... We are all birds, and we know them very well. On the surface, it stirs up emotions and influences the balance, but in reality, it doesn't affect those around you, but yourself. If you use it for a long time, you will genuinely regard it as your benefactor or even your master. The Uwabami Bird steals its own offspring; what they take is never a good thing!"
Qin Yi had expected this, and nodded slightly. "As expected, they harbor ulterior motives. Thank you for informing me, senior."
"Of course... Even if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't use it, would you? Only a virtuous person can ward off evil spirits. Since you don't intend to use it, you won't be affected." The lovebirds laughed, "We should thank you for saving my people a few days ago. We searched for several days before finding you here."
Qin Yi smiled and said, "Did you come here specifically to repay a debt?"
"You're really not being polite," the lovebirds laughed. "We did want to give you something in return, but after hearing what you just said, we feel it's inappropriate."
Qin Yi was taken aback. "What?"
The lovebirds said, "We each have one blue and one red feather on our bodies. If a man and a woman each hold one, they can fall in love and be bound by a red thread. Today, when we saw you proposing to the High Priest of the Winged Human Race, we thought you would need this... But judging from what you just said, you probably don't need it anymore."
Qin Yi opened his mouth, his expression stiffening.
"Pfft..." Liusu burst out laughing.
Let you show off.
Qin Yi's cheek twitched, and he said through gritted teeth, "Yes, no."
Seeing his expression, the lovebird chuckled and said, "You should keep it... If you don't deliberately use the spell, it won't have such a clear effect. It will only help you open your heart and mind, so as not to be troubled by worldly dogma and miss your chance at marriage. So it's a kind of ritual to help you succeed in your Seeking marriage. I believe you won't use it for evil."
Two feathers, one green and one red, slowly drifted down, like drifting snowflakes.
Qin Yi reached out and caught it, and the lovebirds in the sky disappeared, like a dream.
"Wow, this..." Qin Yi looked at the feather in his hand and hesitated, "It feels like a dream, I got a benefit for no reason."
Liusu pouted. "You say it's inexplicable, but I say it's too late."
It seems we've arrived a bit late. Breaking free from dogma and opening one's heart seems tailor-made for Yu Shang; if we had these two things a few days ago, why would we have needed to put in so much effort? But now Yu Shang herself has already resolved the situation, and this isn't the issue she needs to face anymore. Obtaining them now seems truly useless.
"It's not too late," Gouzi poked his head out, excitedly saying, "There are so many girls in the world, keep going, I want them all..."
Qin Yi punched it back into the ring. "Do you even have that ability?"
The dog whimpered its last sound, "... Look."
Two days later.
The "matchmaking meeting" for the marriage proposal of Yu Shang Saintess of the Winged Human Race, has officially begun.
Although "Saintess" often bear similar responsibilities, this was not originally Yu Shang's mission. She came to Xun Wood City as a successor to the Saintess and was indeed assigned to manage the city for training. If there was any additional mission, her true mission was to unite the various races and call for resistance against the Netherworld's unification efforts.
They didn't come here specifically for a marriage alliance.
But for some reason, before she had even visited many of the organizations she had contacted, several suggested that they arrange a marriage alliance.
If they were to form a marriage alliance, it would provide unwavering support for both managing Xun Wood City and rallying other tribes. Yu Shang considered this a mission of hers, so she did not refuse. After reporting it to her tribe, the Clan Leader approved it, turning it into a formal competition for marriage proposals among various tribes.
This was arranged before Qin Yi came to the other side.
Heartless God wanted to refine the Concentric Heart Gu to obtain Yu Shang, and his idea was actually very similar to Qin Yi's —they had no foundation in Xun Wood City and no advantage whatsoever. If they could first settle things with the Saintess herself, that would be their greatest advantage.
In other words, there are actually many people who covet the Yu Shang.
After all, she is the leader of a powerful clan, Saintess, and one of the leaders of Xun Wood City, a great city spanning thousands of miles. She is also exceptionally beautiful, proud, and aloof. This is a deal that combines power, wealth, and beauty. Who wouldn't be tempted? Even if it means marrying into the family, most people are confident that they can assert their authority in the future. A small minority would be willing to do anything to win her over.
Therefore, while three families were officially proposing marriage, many more secretly desired it. However, they knew they were not qualified to compete, so they could only suppress their thoughts or, like Heartless God, resort to crooked ideas.
Qin Yi's arrival and his unexpected entanglement with Yu Shang caused unexpected twists and turns to this routine matter, which was originally a matter of competing for a bride and finally concluding with a marriage.
In the Winged Human Race's sacred temple, Yu Shang sat high in the center, with even the High Priest only sitting to her left, highlighting that her personal will still played a significant role in this matter.
On either side were twelve winged female warriors, protecting him without looking away.
Inside the temple, there were also hundreds of winged people, sitting on either side of the hall, watching the three groups of people in the temple.
The Double Eyed Bird Race.
The Ubagabi Bird Tribe.
Ghost Carriage Race.
They are today's contestants.
Qin Yi hid in a corner behind the Feathered Girl, moved a small chair there, and peeked out to examine his rivals for love today.
Gu Shuanglin, who was in the Uwabami Bird group, was also looking around. He quickly noticed Qin Yi sitting in the corner with no status. He smiled and gave him a knowing look.
Qin Yi truly admired his expression, which was as genuine as a close friend's, conveying a sense of sincerity that was hard to come by. It was something few could pull off. It didn't even resemble the scheming intentions of those old foxes like Zheng Yunyi; it seemed almost innate.
He is definitely not Uwabami Bird. If he was adopted by Uwabami Bird, what race was he originally?
P. S.: The audio version of "Entertainment Spring and Autumn" is released! The girl's voice is so beautiful; it makes me regret writing so many observations and reflections on the world in the beginning. My rambling was so annoying! I want to listen to the girl again! 55555~
