With that thought, Shen Hongfei waved his small hand, and a gleaming jade slip appeared in his palm. He impatiently infused it with his mana, and a stream of light surged into his mind. Countless profound images flashed through his consciousness, depicting a three-legged golden crow transforming into a rainbow, soaring through the heavens with graceful elegance.
Shen Hongfei activated his God-Tier Enlightenment Talent. His spiritual platform became clear, and all the mysteries unfolded in his mind. In a mere moment, he had a preliminary grasp of them, and a light, floating sensation spread through his heart.
Shen Hongfei suddenly had the urge to transform into a rainbow and fly away. A cool sensation swept through his mind, bringing him back to his senses. He glanced at the amniotic fluid around him and his small face contorted. He hadn't even been born yet; using his powers now would be a disaster!
"No, I can't come out yet. Who knows if the Womb Sign-in System will still work after I'm born?"
"Ah, Mother, save us~"
Just then, three terrified voices rang out. The surrounding amniotic fluid began to churn violently, and Shen Hongfei felt a sense of dizziness. He knew something had happened!
Shen Hongfei quickly looked outside and saw endless gale-force winds raging. The massive form of the Kunpeng was churning rapidly within the sea of clouds.
Nuwa and Sanxiao were spinning in the air. A gust of wind swept past, lifting the small bodies of Sanxiao. In their panic, they tightly gripped Nuwa's sleeve, their hair flying wildly in the wind, their faces etched with clear fear.
The Kunpeng had gone back on its word!
Shen Hongfei thought, a surge of anger rising within him. This Kunpeng was indeed not as simple as it seemed, willing to be subservient. If not for the threats from Di Jun and the others, it wouldn't have agreed to be his mother's mount.
Seeing Nuwa panicking and unable to stop herself, he quickly said, "Mother, quickly reveal the Wind-Settling Pearl!"
Nuwa's face flashed with shame. She hurriedly took out the Wind-Settling Pearl and threw it. A bright light appeared, flying above Nuwa's head and enveloping her. The gale-force winds vanished.
Nuwa's thoughts shifted, and auspicious clouds appeared beneath her feet. Sanxiao stumbled onto the clouds.
Seeing this, Shen Hongfei's worries subsided. He looked at their disheveled state, feeling both amused and annoyed. His mother, Nuwa, a dignified Late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, was panicking like a little girl in this situation. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to temper her.
Thinking of the culprit, Kunpeng, Shen Hongfei's small face darkened. He stared coldly at the churning Kunpeng outside and channeled a trace of his mana, shouting, "Kunpeng, are you going back on your word!"
"If you're unwilling to be my mother's mount, don't force yourself. Get out of here now!"
The Kunpeng stopped its movement and approached Nuwa. Its massive eyes showed a deep mockery. "Kid, I agreed to be your mother's mount, but those three brats aren't worthy of riding on me!"
"A mere peak Golden Immortal dares to act so wild in front of me!"
Sanxiao felt a pang of distress. They were the ones dragging their mother down. They vowed to cultivate diligently upon their return, so as not to shame their young master or their mother!
A look of understanding flashed in Shen Hongfei's eyes. The Kunpeng was a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal and possessed a proud nature. Allowing his mother to ride on him was already a compromise.
Although he understood, Shen Hongfei couldn't just let it go. His mother was up there, and it dared to cause trouble. If this mindset wasn't curbed, it would become even more unruly in the future!
Rather than this, it would be better to have no Kunpeng. There were plenty of rare beasts in the Great Desolation. His mother, who would become a Saint in the future, would not lack suitable mounts!
With that thought, Shen Hongfei's delicate face grew colder. His tone became serious. "Kunpeng, you voluntarily became my mother's mount, and you must fulfill that role properly!"
"If you're unwilling, then get out, right now!"
"You..."
"What are you talking about? A dignified Great Luo Golden Immortal, going back on his word, how dare you!"
"If I hadn't spoken up, Uncle Di Jun would have cooked you long ago. How dare you be so presumptuous now!"
The Kunpeng trembled with rage. Two strong streams of air puffed from its nostrils, scattering the nearby clouds. It stared coldly at Nuwa's belly, wanting to break through and silence her!
But remembering Nuwa's cultivation, the Kunpeng calmed down.
Endure, I must endure!
"Little friend, please do not be angry. I was wrong. Quickly, come up."
Shen Hongfei saw the Kunpeng's huge head contort into a sinister smile and shook his head. It seemed it was still unconvinced. "We wouldn't dare. You can't even fly steadily. If we fall, won't that be terrible!"
I must endure. I cannot act on impulse. I will tolerate this for now and settle the score later!
The Kunpeng comforted itself repeatedly. It took a deep breath, calmed down, and forced a pleading look into its eyes. "Please, come up."
Seeing this, Shen Hongfei was finally satisfied. "If you want us to come up, then make things clear."
"You are my mother's mount, and you must abide by the rules of Fengqi Mountain from now on!"
Nuwa's pretty face showed surprise. When did Fengqi Mountain have rules?
However, the Kunpeng nodded. At this point, it just wanted to go along with them, and anything was fine. "Young master, please speak."
"From now on, you must address my mother as 'Mother Nuwa,' the Sanxiao Fairies as 'Fairies,' and me as 'Young Master'!"
"And you must be obedient and cannot leave my mother's vicinity by more than ten miles!"
That's it?
Surprise flashed in the Kunpeng's eyes. It had expected this kid to make it swear a Heavenly Dao oath, but it hadn't expected such simple demands. It seemed following them wouldn't be too bad.
After leaving Nuwa, it would find a fierce beast to be their mount, thus repaying the karma.
With that thought, the Kunpeng nodded. "Young Master, Mother Nuwa, and Sanxiao Fairies, please come up!"
Upon hearing this, Sanxiao felt somewhat flattered and looked gratefully at Nuwa's belly. Young Master is so good to us.
Shen Hongfei nodded in satisfaction. This is more like it. It would have been fine from the start. Why did I have to get angry?
"Mother, Sister Sanxiao, hurry up and get on."
"Mm."
Nuwa nodded, then stepped onto the Kunpeng's back. Sanxiao carefully climbed on, not daring to look at the Kunpeng's face.
"Hoo!"
The moment they ascended, the three sisters let out a collective sigh of relief. Bixiao blinked and said, "Young Master is truly amazing!"
Shen Hongfei chuckled at her words, finding Bixiao quite endearing. He shook his head and said, "Bixiao, you girls need to cultivate diligently. Look at you, all grubby from just a bit of gale."
"Okay, Young Master."
Bixiao playfully stuck out her tongue and ran behind Nuwa.
Shen Hongfei retracted his thoughts and said to Kunpeng, "Uncle Kunpeng, let's head back to Fengqi Mountain!"
Upon hearing this, Kunpeng's lips curled. He flapped his massive wings, soaring up and speeding towards Fengqi Mountain.
Seeing this, Shen Hongfei paid them no further mind. He took out a flask of immortal brew he had secretly stashed and began to drink.
Nuwa sensed something and frowned, her delicate nose twitching. "Hongfei~"
Shen Hongfei cursed inwardly. He had forgotten his mother was awake. What should he do now?
"Mother, this is..."
Shen Hongfei's mind raced, trying to find an explanation. Suddenly, he noticed several burn marks on Kunpeng and his eyes lit up. "Mother, you've wronged me. I didn't drink any."
