Have These Fairies Not Eaten in Months?

"That's right, this is a Golden Crow! A Three-legged Golden Crow!"

The Queen Mother was utterly shocked. She couldn't possibly have been mistaken—the golden bird before her was indeed a Golden Crow!

Everyone in the Primordial World knew that after Hou Yi Shoots the Suns, nine Golden Crows were killed, leaving only one. Yet there was actually another Golden Crow right before her!

"A Three-legged Golden Crow?"

The Seven Fairies each drew in a sharp breath.

"Grandpa is freaking amazing!"

"Exactly! He really is! I worship him!"

"It's true! Other people walk birds, but Grandpa walks a Golden Crow! A Three-legged Golden Crow, no less! He's way too powerful!"

The Seven Fairies were all filled with astonishment, their admiration for their Grandpa surging like an endless river.

As they spoke, the Seven Fairies edged closer one by one, becoming even more eager to poke the little Golden Crow with their fingers.

"Hey, are you girls done yet? Looking is fine, but could you stop poking me all the time?" The Golden Crow in the cage had grown annoyed and couldn't help speaking up.

"Ah!"

When the Seven Fairies heard the Golden Crow suddenly speak—and in a man's voice at that—they were so frightened that they threw away the birdcage.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother was quick enough to catch it.

"Please don't take offense, fellow cultivator. My daughters are inexperienced. I hope you'll forgive them." The Queen Mother spoke to the Golden Crow in the cage.

"You're the Master's daughter-in-law, and they're the Master's granddaughters. How could I blame you? It was only a little uncomfortable being poked." The Golden Crow in the cage shook his head and swayed it back and forth, showing no sign of anger.

"Thank you." The Queen Mother nodded, then asked, "May I ask where you came from? As far as I know, only that one Golden Crow in the sky remains in the Primordial World."

"That's right. Only that one in the sky remains." The Golden Crow in the cage looked up at the heavens and sighed. "My tenth brother must have had a hard time all these years."

"Tenth brother?" The Queen Mother's heart stirred. "Could it be that you are..."

"You guessed correctly. I'm one of the nine who were shot and killed." The Golden Crow in the cage nodded.

"Then how are you here?" The Queen Mother pressed on.

"The Master raised us, of course. And it's not just me—my brothers are here too!" The Golden Crow in the cage gazed reverently into the house, then looked toward a tree in the courtyard. Eight little golden birds were perched on one of its branches.

If they weren't Golden Crows, what else could they be?

Following the Golden Crow's gaze, the Queen Mother naturally saw the other eight Golden Crows in the courtyard tree.

There were actually nine Golden Crows!

The Queen Mother and the Seven Fairies all drew in a sharp breath.

They all knew what even one Golden Crow represented. Golden Crows controlled the growth of all things in the Three Realms, let alone nine of them.

"Grandpa is simply unbelievably amazing!"

"I swear, I'll be Grandpa's loving little sweetheart for the rest of my life!"

"Me too, in my next life!"

The Seven Fairies were so excited that they danced with joy.

With a Grandpa like this, why should they fear their father, the Jade Emperor, or their mother, the Queen Mother?

Could the heavenly laws even control them anymore?

The Queen Mother looked at the seven girls and thought, It's over. These little troublemakers must be plotting something again.

Primordial: At the Start, I Mistook the Jade Emperor for My Son — Section 7: Have These Fairies Not Eaten in Months?

At dusk, the sun sank beyond the western hills.

Night had already fallen.

A bonfire burned in Zhang Yifan's fenced courtyard, and several lanterns had been lit, illuminating the yard until it was bright as day.

After an hour of clanging and bustling about, Zhang Yifan prepared a whole tableful of dishes.

Even during the New Year, such a lavish spread was rarely seen.

It was the kind of grand spread reserved for a feast.

Kirin Ancestor, in the form of the Big Black Dog, had been drooling for ages, darting around the table with his tail wagging.

The Queen Mother and the Seven Fairies were also amazed by this Big Black Dog, Kirin Ancestor, but they had already witnessed the nine Golden Crows and heard the Jade Emperor mention him earlier, so they did not pay him much attention.

Everyone's focus was on the plates of food arranged along the long table.

Slurp~

Slurp~

Not only had the Seven Fairies been secretly drooling for a while, even the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother couldn't help swallowing.

It smelled incredible.

Just smelling the fragrance of the dishes made the Seven Fairies feel their cultivation realms faintly loosening.

If Zhang Yifan hadn't taken his seat yet, they would have already devoured everything.

"Grandpa, are you done? Come over quickly~" Princess Tianshou, the eldest princess, couldn't help calling out to Zhang Yifan. She was genuinely afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself.

"Coming, coming~"

Zhang Yifan walked out of the inner room carrying several jars of liquor and set them on the table with a bang. "Good son, good daughter-in-law, and my sweet granddaughters, accompany this old man for a hundred cups tonight! Hahahaha."

"Allow me to pour the liquor for you, Father-in-law." The Queen Mother's eyes lit up. She had heard the Jade Emperor talk about this liquor. Compared with it, even Jade Nectar was no better than urine!

"Good, good, good~" Zhang Yifan stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

It had been twenty years. The courtyard was lively again, and Zhang Yifan was overjoyed.

"I want some too! I want some too."

"Me too~"

The Seven Fairies each held out a bowl, their eyes shining. Seventh Princess had drool running onto her clothes without even noticing.

"Everyone will get some. Sit properly, all of you. What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"

Seeing his daughters making such a commotion, the Jade Emperor put on a stern expression and assumed his authoritative air.

The Jade Emperor was smacked on the back of the head.

"You little rascal, what are you putting on airs for? When a family eats together, it should be lively and bustling."

Zhang Yifan gave the Jade Emperor a hard knock on the back of the head. The Jade Emperor shrank his neck and laughed sheepishly, no longer stopping his seven daughters.

"Mmm~ What fragrant liquor! It smells even better than the liquor in the Heavenly Court~" Second Princess Tianyang took a sniff and couldn't help exclaiming.

"Oh? Don't tell me you've actually drunk Jade Nectar from the Heavenly Court?" Zhang Yifan asked with a smile.

"No. But I believe Grandpa's liquor must be the finest liquor in the world!" Second Princess Tianyang said with a grin.

"Then you'd better drink slowly. This liquor packs quite a punch."

"Come, let us toast to our family reunion!" Zhang Yifan raised his bowl of liquor, full of heroic spirit.

"To Father, cheers!"

"To Grandpa, cheers!"

Everyone drained their bowl of liquor in one gulp.

As soon as the liquor entered their stomachs, immense energy erupted from the bodies of the Seven Fairy Princesses. However, the aura that burst forth was invisible and intangible within the courtyard, completely concealed by the courtyard's energy.

Mid-stage Earth Immortal,

Late-stage Earth Immortal,

Earth Immortal perfected,

Early-stage Heavenly Immortal,

Mid-stage Heavenly Immortal,

Late-stage Heavenly Immortal!

Seventh Princess was ecstatic!

After one bowl of liquor, her cultivation had soared directly from the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm to the late-stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm!

The feeling was indescribably wonderful!

The other princesses' cultivation levels were more or less the same. Each had soared through an entire major realm, leaping up a major step!

The Seven Fairy Princesses exchanged delighted looks, smiling and secretly nodding to each other. This was simply too wonderful!

So cultivation could improve this easily and pleasantly!

Seeing her daughters' cultivation improve, the Queen Mother was also overjoyed. She couldn't help draining the liquor in her bowl as well.

Likewise, vast power surged through the Queen Mother's body like a churning sea, rolling without end.

Her cultivation, which had remained stagnant, was truly beginning to loosen.

"Father-in-law's liquor is truly marvelous." The Queen Mother couldn't help exclaiming.
