Thinking this, Shen Hongfei waved his little hand, and a gleaming jade slip appeared in his grasp. He eagerly infused it with magic power, and a streak of light surged into his mind. Countless profound scenes flashed past one after another—a Three-legged Golden Crow repeatedly transforming into a rainbow and soaring through heaven and earth, its bearing graceful and elegant.
Shen Hongfei activated his God-Tier Enlightenment Talent. His mind became perfectly clear, and all the profound mysteries became immediately comprehensible. In the blink of an eye, he had gained a preliminary grasp of it, and a weightless feeling rose in his heart.
Shen Hongfei actually had the urge to transform into a rainbow and fly away. A cool breath swept through his mind, jolting him awake. He glanced at the amniotic fluid around him, his little face turning bitter. He had not even been born yet—wouldn't it be disastrous if he tried to use it?
No, he could not come out yet. Who knew whether the Womb Sign-in System would still work after he was born?
"Ah, Empress, save us~"
Just then, three frightened voices rang out, and the amniotic fluid around him began to tremble violently. Shen Hongfei felt as if the world were spinning, and his heart jolted. Something had happened!
Shen Hongfei hurriedly looked outside, only to see endless astral winds raging toward them. Kunpeng's enormous body churned through the sea of clouds, spinning rapidly.
Nuwa and the Sanxiao Fairies spun continuously in midair. When a blast of astral wind swept past, the Sanxiao Fairies' petite bodies were blown upward. In their panic, they clung tightly to Nuwa's sleeves, their long hair whipping wildly in the wind, the fear on their faces obvious.
Kunpeng had gone back on his word!
Shen Hongfei thought this, anger rising in his heart. As expected, Kunpeng was not someone who would easily submit to another. If not for the threat from Di Jun and the others, he would never have agreed to become his mother's mount.
Seeing that Nuwa was flustered and did not know how to stop herself, he hurriedly called out, "Mother, quickly bring out the Wind-Settling Pearl!"
Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Nuwa's face. She hurriedly took out the Wind-Settling Pearl and threw it. A glimmer of light appeared and flew above Nuwa's head, enveloping her. The astral wind vanished without a trace.
Nuwa's thoughts shifted, and auspicious clouds appeared beneath her feet. The Sanxiao Fairies fell onto the clouds.
Seeing this, Shen Hongfei's worries eased. Looking at their disheveled appearance, he was both annoyed and amused. His mother was a dignified Late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet when faced with this situation, she had panicked like a little girl. It seemed he would have to find an opportunity to temper her.
Thinking of the culprit, Kunpeng, Shen Hongfei's little face darkened. He stared coldly at Kunpeng, who was still churning about outside, and circulated a trace of magic power before shouting, "Kunpeng, are you going back on your word?"
"If you're unwilling to be my mother's mount, you don't have to force yourself. Get lost right now!"
Kunpeng stopped moving and came to Nuwa's side. His enormous eyes were filled with deep mockery. "Brat, I agreed to be your mother's mount, but those three little things aren't worthy of riding on me!"
"Three mere Golden Immortal Peaks, yet you dare to act arrogantly over my head!"
Hearing this, the Sanxiao Fairies felt upset. They had dragged Empress Nuwa down. In their hearts, they swore that once they returned, they would cultivate diligently. They could not cause Young Master and Empress Nuwa to lose face!
A look of understanding flashed through Shen Hongfei's eyes. Kunpeng was a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and he possessed his own pride. The fact that he was willing to let his mother sit on his head was already a temporary compromise.
Although he understood that, Shen Hongfei could not let this go. His own mother was up there, yet Kunpeng dared to play tricks. If he did not suppress this attitude, wouldn't Kunpeng turn the heavens upside down in the future?
Rather than this, they might as well not have Kunpeng. There were plenty of primordial exotic beasts, and his mother would become a saint in the future. She would not lack a suitable mount!
Thinking this, the coldness on Shen Hongfei's pretty face deepened. He said solemnly, "Kunpeng, since you voluntarily became my mother's mount, you must properly fulfill that role!"
"If you're unwilling, get lost. Now. Immediately!"
"You—"
"What do you mean, 'you'? You're a dignified Grand Luo Golden Immortal, yet you went back on your word. What face do you have?"
"If I hadn't spoken up, Uncle Di Jun would have already stewed you in a pot. And you still dare to act wildly here!"
Kunpeng trembled with rage. Two powerful streams of air blasted from his nostrils, scattering the nearby clouds. He stared coldly at Nuwa's belly, wanting to tear it open and make Shen Hongfei shut up!
But when he thought of Nuwa's cultivation, Kunpeng calmed down.
Endure. I have to endure!
"Young friend, please don't be angry. This poor Daoist was wrong. Hurry and come up."
Shen Hongfei saw a sinister smile squeeze onto Kunpeng's enormous head and shook his head. It seemed Kunpeng was still unconvinced. "We wouldn't dare. You can't even fly steadily. If we fell, wouldn't that be tragic?"
I have to endure. I can't let a moment of anger get the better of me. I'll endure for now and settle this score later!
Kunpeng repeatedly consoled himself. He suddenly drew in a breath and calmed down, forcing a pleading look into his eyes. "Please, come up."
Only then was Shen Hongfei satisfied. "If you want us to come up, then make everything clear first."
"You are my mother's mount. From now on, you must obey the rules of Fengqi Mountain!"
Hearing this, surprise appeared on Nuwa's pretty face. Since when did Fengqi Mountain have rules?
Kunpeng, however, nodded. At this moment, he only intended to follow them. Anything was fine. "Young friend, please state them."
"From now on, you must address my mother as Empress, the Sanxiao Fairies as Fairies, and me as Young Master!"
"And you must be obedient. You cannot leave my mother's side by more than ten li!"
That was all?
Surprise flashed through Kunpeng's eyes. He had thought this brat would take the opportunity to make him swear a Heavenly Dao oath, but he had not expected such simple demands. It seemed following them would not be too bad after all.
Once he left Nuwa in the future, he could find them another exotic beast as a mount. That would count as repaying the karma.
Thinking this, Kunpeng nodded. "Young Master, Empress Nuwa, Fairies of Sanxiao, please come up!"
Hearing this, the Sanxiao Fairies were somewhat flattered. All three looked gratefully at Nuwa's belly. Young Master is so good to us.
Shen Hongfei nodded in satisfaction. This was more like it. Why had Kunpeng not behaved properly from the beginning? He had insisted on making Young Master lose his temper.
"Mother, Elder Sisters of Sanxiao, hurry and get on."
"Mm."
Nuwa nodded, then stepped onto Kunpeng's back. The Sanxiao Fairies carefully climbed up after her, not daring to look at Kunpeng's face.
"Phew!"
As soon as they got on, the three sisters let out a collective sigh of relief. Bixiao blinked and said, "Young Master is amazing!"
Shen Hongfei chuckled when he heard this. Bixiao was indeed rather adorable. He shook his head and said, "Bixiao, when you return, you must cultivate diligently. Look—even such a small amount of astral wind left you covered in dust."
"All right, Young Master."
Bixiao gave a mischievous smile, stuck out her tongue, and ran behind Nuwa.
Shen Hongfei gathered his thoughts and said to Kunpeng, "Uncle Kunpeng, return to Fengqi Mountain!"
Hearing this, the corner of Kunpeng's mouth lifted. His enormous fleshy wings began to beat, and he suddenly rose into the air, flying toward Fengqi Mountain.
Seeing this, Shen Hongfei paid him no more attention. He took a jug of immortal wine he had secretly hidden from his robes and began drinking.
Nuwa noticed and wrinkled her delicate nose. "Hongfei~"
Shen Hongfei cursed inwardly. Damn it, I forgot Mother isn't resting right now. What do I do?
"Mother, this..."
Shen Hongfei's mind raced as he tried to explain. Suddenly, he spotted several burns on Kunpeng's body, and his eyes lit up. "Mother, you wronged me. I wasn't drinking."
