Flipping Over, Warning, Pitiful

A Soaring Snake coiled restlessly around Feng Xi's waist.

--Don't misunderstand, this isn't a metaphor for some unspeakable entity, but a special existence that evolved alongside him.

Although Feng Xi was driving for Ancestral Witch Dijiang and running errands, he was essentially Houtu's subordinate.

No, it should be said that he originated from the Houtu Tribe--that's how his household registration described it.

Ancestral Witch Houtu's divine sacred body was human from the waist up, with a snake's tail, seven hands behind her back, and two hands in front of her chest, holding a Soaring Snake.

Feng Xi couldn't compare to Ancestral Witch Houtu; he didn't have two Soaring Snakes, nor could he hold them.

Heaven knows what happened... his Soaring Snake had ended up around his waist, coiling there.

After much deliberation, he decided to turn it into a belt--a real snake-skin belt!

The only drawback was that the belt was a bit thick... If others looked closely, they might find the swimming-ring-like belt novel and a bit unconventional.

But as a hobby, no one would really care.

The real problem was for those with poor eyesight; before they could even see clearly, they would look at Feng Xi with a gaze of surprise and admiration--

"Wow! How majestic!"

This made Feng Xi incredibly conflicted--should he awkwardly dodge their gaze, or stand tall and accept the world's admiration?

'How can someone with my impeccable character and righteous heart be considered lewd?'

'No... what is 'lewd,' I don't even know!'

Feng Xi's expression turned solemn as he adjusted the looseness of the Soaring Snake belt... He had been driving a bit too fast earlier, no, he had traveled too much, and his lower body felt a bit uncomfortable, requiring some loosening.

Kong Xuan had no idea what his newly acquainted driver friend was recounting--everything sounded so normal, but the smile on Feng Xi's face...

As the heir to the Phoenix Group's leadership, who scored full marks on every reading comprehension test and could write three to five different interpretations of any "strange light," Kong Xuan instinctively felt there was something profound hidden within.

It was like a door blocking his view... When he opened it, he would see a whole new world!

That world was called--

The Adult World!

"Saving young ladies who have fallen into hardship... How do you save them?"

Little Peacock asked curiously, posing the question earnestly to Feng Xi.

Not asking when you don't know was a good habit of Kong Xuan's.

And usually, his questions would receive perfect answers... After all, among his elders were Grand Unity Supremes, powerful beings who traversed endless time and space with unfathomable wisdom. What could possibly stump them?

No matter how tricky Kong Xuan's questions were, they were always easily answered.

Of course, Feng Xi wasn't one of those Grand Unity powerhouses... but Kong Xuan's question at this moment was simply too easy for him!

So easy that he could improvise and speak for ten thousand words without breaking a sweat.

"Ahem!"

Feng Xi coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then sneakily glanced around--

Good, people were passing by, but no one was paying special attention.

After confirming the environment was suitable, he lowered his voice and said deeply, "How do you save them?"

"Well, naturally, by using an organ on your body to rescue them!"

"Oh?" Kong Xuan pressed, "What is it?"

Feng Xi suddenly fell silent.

Then, he solemnly raised his hand and pointed--

To his chest!

"It's the heart!"

"Save them with your heart!"

At this moment, it was as if sacred light emanated from Feng Xi, dazzling Kong Xuan's vision.

"The heart?"

"Yes! Precisely the heart... or rather, it's kindness! It's love!" Feng Xi's eyes held a hint of sadness. "With a heart full of compassion, with the most sincere kindness, guide those young ladies... cough, young women, who bear countless pressures, inject them with the drive to live, and bring them hope..."

"So that's how it is?" Kong Xuan feigned understanding, but new doubts arose. "That's a very good thing... Why specifically target young ladies? And not young gentlemen or boys?"

"Hiss!" Feng Xi gasped, feeling the pressure and pain in his soul instantly increase tenfold. Stimulated by the threat to his life, his inspiration surged like never before.

"That is naturally because... because..."

"Because of their psychological resilience, personality, and other factors!" Feng Xi racked his brain. "You know about the division of heaven and earth, yin and yang, male and female, right?"

"I know... Heaven is yang, earth is yin; men are yang, women are yin!" Kong Xuan replied.

"Exactly!" Feng Xi's tone grew urgent. "As the saying goes--The movement of heaven is full of power, and thus it never ceases its self-strengthening; the receptivity of earth is full of virtue, and thus it is always robust in its capacity to receive.

"We men should be like heaven, strong and self-reliant, constantly striving forward... Such people, even when facing difficulties, will strive to overcome them.

"With such strong character, why would we need comfort? Comfort... that would be an insult to us!"

"So, for the targets you want to guide with kindness and a broad mind, just leave them to those young ladies." Cold sweat streamed down Feng Xi's forehead. "Yes... that's it!"

"Oh... I see!" Kong Xuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Feng Xi with admiration. "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your subtle guidance."

"Huh?" Feng Xi was a bit dumbfounded, momentarily ignoring the pressure on his soul.

"Brother Feng is reminding me that as a man who stands tall and strong, I must always strive and improve myself... no matter what difficulties I face, I must forge my own path and not place my hopes on others, right?" Kong Xuan said solemnly. "When facing problems and difficulties, I shouldn't always ask others; I need my own opinions... I should think proactively and use my own wisdom to overcome all problems..."

"My parents and elders can only help me with external matters. Ultimately, personal character and cultivation improvement depend on my own efforts."

"Like the chasm to Grand Unity... achieving Grand Unity, no external force can assist; life and death, success and failure are all up to oneself!"

"I will forever remember Brother Feng's advice!"

Facing Feng Xi, Kong Xuan sincerely bowed.

Feng Xi was speechless.

He had nothing more to say.

With his chin almost dragging on the ground, Feng Xi felt like exclaiming—Young man, your comprehension ability, I am truly impressed.

Admirable! Admirable!

"Yes, that's exactly it." Feng Xi nodded repeatedly, expressing his utmost approval of Kong Xuan's answer and marveling, "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, you truly are the future leader of the Phoenix Lineage... your ability to infer and grasp things so quickly is truly admirable!"

"Not at all, not at all." Little Peacock shook his head. "Compared to some top figures, I'm still far behind..."

"The ancient Innate Divine Beings who blazed trails and created paths from nothing, they are the true great examples of self-reliance... unlike me, who needed Brother Feng's guidance to even realize this."

"I think Brother Feng is even more outstanding than I am."

"How could that be? I've just lived a few years longer than you, Kong Xuan," Feng Xi said humbly.

At the same time, his mind raced, contemplating the same thought.

"My lord, you see... is this acceptable?"

"I haven't said anything I shouldn't have, and I've even guided Kong Xuan onto the right path..."

"Could you be merciful and withdraw your divine power?"

"If the mental pressure continues, I'm going to die..."

Sad, sorrowful, miserable... this was Feng Xi's current state.

As it turned out, some things should not be said carelessly.

If something went wrong, having your license revoked or even being detained and sentenced was not impossible!

Just now, Feng Xi had messed up.

Just as he was about to say something he shouldn't have, a terrifying pressure acted upon his soul.

The outside world was calm, and no one felt the slightest abnormality, yet Feng Xi felt like he was dying.

He was absolutely certain that an immensely powerful Grand Unity was fixing its gaze upon him.

This feeling couldn't be wrong... after all, Feng Xi had encountered quite a few Grand Unity beings among the Witch Clan.

There were Ancestral Witches, Great Witches... the aura of that Grand Unity was definitely stronger than that of an ordinary Great Witch, in Feng Xi's estimation!

Such a being, with anger in its gaze, was staring at him, staring intently...

Faced with this, Feng Xi chose to back down, changed the script, and stopped "driving."

Instead, he began to offer encouragement, guiding Kong Xuan onto a path of self-reliance.

The Grand Unity in the shadows seemed satisfied with this outcome... it finally withdrew its death glare, and the pressure vanished instantly, as if it had all been Feng Xi's imagination.

Of course, Feng Xi didn't think so.

'A mistake, a mistake... I should have thought of this earlier.' he sighed inwardly. 'The son of the Phoenix, how could he not have the attention and protection of a Grand Unity in secret?'

'Wait... that's not right!' Feng Xi's thoughts shifted. 'This shouldn't be considered my mistake!'

'It's an educational oversight on the part of the Phoenix Lineage in some aspects!'

'Kong Xuan is a virgin... that's not a problem.'

'But the lack of understanding in related fields is inexcusable.'

'Ignoring illness... ignoring illness!'

Feng Xi sighed, lamenting the educational issues within the Phoenix Lineage, and felt incredibly wronged to have been implicated himself.

"Wronged? No, you are not."

A distant, indifferent voice suddenly sounded in Feng Xi's ear.

"You fed Kong Xuan the dregs from Rear Admiral's teachings."

"Among the Feathered Clan, love is often loyal, unlike those Dragon Clan fellows who spread their seeds everywhere and will do anything."

"Phoenixes, Mandarin Ducks, Peacocks... once paired, they are eternally faithful."

"You incited Kong Xuan to engage in those matters... If it weren't for the sake of the Witch Clan, I would have locked you up for ten or eight years."

A Grand Unity, personally issuing a warning, telling Feng Xi to take it easy.

The son of a Phoenix, he can't be led astray!

Feng Xi pouted, saying nothing... his gaze towards Kong Xuan held a hint of pity.

Poor kid... his view on love is so rigidly defined.

If he doesn't build a harem, how can he spread his lineage and strengthen the clan?

It's the sons fighting alongside their fathers!
