Fire Phoenix Burns the Plains (Silver Bonus Chapter 1/10)

One kick and his head was knocked askew.

Gu Shuanglin fell backward as if riding on clouds, and the bamboo hat that had been covering the back of his head finally tilted slightly.

Qin Yi watched in disbelief as another face appeared behind the bamboo hat.

Ferocious, resentful, and ruthless, twisted and filled with hatred.

The more gentlemanly his face appears on the front, the more vicious his face behind it is.

So that's how it is. He's not from the Gentleman Country, but from the Two-Faced Countryman. He always wore a straw hat, seemingly imitating the traditions of the Ubagabi Bird Tribe, but actually to conceal the face behind it.

It seems that the straw hat is a treasure, as it can conceal one's senses. I'll have to be careful with this straw hat next time I face an enemy.

A thought flashed through Qin Yi's mind: Gu Shuanglin had already fallen out of the Cloud Realm.

He was kicked out of the temple by that kick... and rolled around several times in the temple of the Winged Human Race before being helped up by the Uwabami Bird was with him.

When he looked up, his nose was bleeding profusely; his nose had been broken, and even one of his front teeth had been knocked out.

Gu Shuanglin was both shocked and frightened. Qin Yi wanted to kill him. He could feel the intense murderous intent contained in Qin Yi's kick!

Qin Yi did indeed want to kill someone...

He didn't think there was any possibility of reconciliation with this guy. His clan also clearly had unpredictable plans against the Winged Human Race. Sooner or later, they would have to start a war. Why keep him around for the New Year?

Unfortunately, the occasion was inappropriate. This was a marriage proposal, and the Winged Human Race didn't suspect the Uwabami Bird of any ulterior motives. It would be too embarrassing for them to be accused of killing someone over a love triangle. That's why they didn't directly hit him on the head with their Wolf Tooth Club, but only kicked him.

Then he won't be able to kill him by kicking; Gu Shuanglin is no weakling either.

Qin Yi wasn't disappointed; there would be plenty of opportunities.

"Whoosh!" The Wolf Tooth Club traced an uncanny trajectory and swept straight behind.

Xiang Ming, who was rushing forward, stumbled back two steps. Suddenly, Li Jiuyou spoke up, "Brother Xiang, if you hold back any longer, he will really be fighting three against one."

Xiang Ming remained silent for a moment, then sighed, and his body suddenly swayed.

The valiant man transformed into a giant, seven-colored Double Eyed Bird, soaring through the sky, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

Li Jiuyou also slowly changed his form, becoming a giant bird with a completely black body, nine heads and nine wings, exuding a ghostly and sinister aura.

Qin Yi looked up, as if he were facing Buddha and Demon Extremes at the same time.

He suddenly laughed, "Is this your ultimate move? It feels like the power level has increased by several levels."

The Double Eyed Bird spoke in human language, "Brother Qin, our true form is far stronger than our human form. It's not too late for you to admit defeat now."

Qin Yi grinned. "It's just turning into a bird... watch me."

The Winged Human Race stared blankly through the light screen as Qin Yi transformed into flames.

Then, amidst the flames, a phoenix cried out to the heavens, the flames spreading like wings several miles long. The scorching heat spread into the clouds, and a gigantic phoenix took flight, blotting out the sun and the sky. With a single flap of its wings, a rain of fire fell, igniting the sea of clouds and instantly turning the land into a raging inferno.

"Phoenix! Phoenix!"

A commotion broke out in the temple as all the winged people stood up, staring blankly at the fire phoenix soaring in the light screen.

Qin Yi had never attempted to transform into a phoenix before. His Transformations at the Huiyang stage were insufficient to support such a transformation; at best, he could only capture the form, lacking the spirit and becoming a laughingstock. But when he learned that he possessed the essence of a phoenix within his blood, he tried transforming, and surprisingly, it actually worked...

It perfectly captures the essence of the character, even down to its fire attribute.

The Vermilion Bird Flame are inherently similar to those of the Phoenix.

Several lower-level cultivators had already knelt down and bowed their heads in worship.

The nine-headed Double Eyed Bird and right were all dumbfounded, staring blankly at the phoenix in the center, unable to utter a word.

They don't need to fight anymore...

Birds revere the phoenix, and all birds pay homage to it; this is a reverence that comes from the instinct of the soul.

Even knowing it was fake, that it was Qin Yi in disguise... the aura was so similar, the form and spirit were so alike. Xiang Ming Li Jiuyou looked at themselves and felt their energy waning. What was the point of fighting...?

The two birds turned and tried to fly towards the boundary gate.

Instead, Qin Yi wanted to fight. "We agreed on one against three, don't run away!"

Inside the temple, people watched blankly as a phoenix flapped its wings, chasing and beating two birds along the way. The two birds used their wings to protect their heads and fled in a sorry state.

"Thump..." The three of them fell out of the Cloud Realm and returned to human form. Xiang Ming Li Jiuyou rolled several times before finally returning to their group, still shaken.

"Uh..." Qin Yi turned to look at the High Priest and asked cautiously, "Does this count? Should we fight it?"

The High Priest stared at him blankly for a long time before finally saying, "It is."

At that moment, even ordinary winged people knelt down... Only the stronger ones could tell that this wasn't a real phoenix, otherwise the entire clan would have knelt...

But this man is only Huiyang... If he cultivates to a certain level, could he really become a true phoenix?

Yu Shang's eyes flashed with a charm rarely seen by outsiders, but she quickly lowered her head, not letting anyone notice anything amiss.

The other three races looked at each other, wondering how they could compete on this third item.

The Phoenix Transformation alone is probably enough to make it the third point of complete victory, right? How could a winged woman resist the allure of the phoenix? Just like mortal women are attracted to handsome men, in the eyes of a winged woman, Qin Yi is probably the most handsome man in the world. What sweet talk or flattery can compare to this transformation?

Qin Yi actually took out a gift and presented it, smiling as he said, "The Saintess might like it."

Everyone craned their necks to look at the gift...

A string of Buddhist prayer beads?

Huiyang's meaning is quite obvious, and it also has a very prominent Buddha-nature... Are you sure the Saintess Yu Shang likes this?

Yu Shang lowered her head, her eyes so alluring they seemed to drip with moisture, yet she knew she absolutely couldn't let anyone see anything amiss, so she forced a cool expression and said indifferently, "Yes, I like it very much."

These words essentially sealed the deal.

Gu Shuanglin immediately said, "Wait!"

The High Priest said calmly, "Do you have any further comments?"

Gu Shuanglin said, "Why are these prayer beads considered superior to the gifts we three received? There needs to be a convincing explanation."

The High Priest said, "This is simply the Saintess's own preference. What she likes, who does she need to explain to? We're already being lenient by not pursuing your violation of our clan's taboo by wearing Liusu crown, and yet you dare to question it?"

Gu Shuanglin choked for a moment, then forced himself to say, "The Saintess may not actually like him. She only shows affection because he transforms into a phoenix on the surface, but everyone should know he's not a phoenix! Besides, he has no foundation in Xun Wood City. Does the Winged Human Race really want to form a marriage alliance with him? This isn't something that can be done with mere words; it requires concrete actions!"

"Who said he has no foothold in Xun Wood City?" A gentle voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Everyone turned to look, only to see the winged guards bowing as the pair of blue and red lovebirds slowly flew in. "The lovebird clan supports him, what are your plans?"

Gu Shuanglin was stunned.

What's going on?

Why would the Lovebird Clan, who usually doesn't care about anything and only cares about their own love, come to support this human?

This is troublesome. The Lovebird God is Qian Yuan, belonging to the top clans of Xun Wood City. Qin Yi suddenly has a powerful backer and is no longer the baseless figure he was thought to be. He can no longer ruin things by throwing a tantrum.

Just then, the shadow behind Li Jiuyou twisted slightly.

Qin Yi always felt that he was strange and had been secretly observing him, keenly noticing this change.

Then Li Jiuyou spoke up, "I've heard that according to the tradition of the Winged Human Race, if one wants to marry rather than become an adopted son-in-law, one must go through the First Down Feather Ceremony. Why did the Winged Human Race, who are known for their rigidity, go easy on us this time and disregard this tradition?"

Qin Yi frowned inwardly. Other people's traditions are their own business, what does it have to do with you? This statement is less about being dissatisfied and more about stirring up trouble. It goes beyond the normal range for a competitor. He hadn't been this exaggerated before. Is this related to the shadow movement just now?

Did someone offer him advice?

The High Priest said calmly, "Am I presiding over this or are you? What traditions do we follow in marrying off the Saintess? What tests do we conduct? Why do we need the approval of others?"

Li Jiuyou seemed to know that this was a bit of a stretch, but he still forced a smile and said, "If the Winged Human Race have made a decision, then of course we have nothing to say. But since it is a public marriage Marriage Recruitment, I'm sure the Winged Human Race don't want people gossiping behind their backs and saying that this is a shady deal."

The High Priest said, "If Yu Shang hid the first down, let Qin Yi go find it. He can search for it for as many years as he wants. What's it to you? Are you planning to search for it together too?"

Li Jiuyou said, "That's how it should be. If we had found Chu Rong first, what right would he have to talk about getting married?"

They really are disruptive.

The High Priest's face darkened with anger, and he was about to speak when Yu Shang smiled and said, "Fine. If I'm going to get married, I do want to be responsible for myself and have everyone witness it clearly. I'll enter the Cloud Realm and hide Chu Rong in the sea of clouds, and I'll turn off the light barrier outside. You can come and find me one by one, and see who can find me."
