Primordial Era: Mistaking the Jade Emperor for My Son at the Start

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

Queen Mother was utterly shocked. She absolutely couldn't have been mistaken; the little golden bird before her was indeed a Golden Crow!

Hou Yi Shoots the Suns, slaying nine Golden Crows, leaving only one. This was common knowledge throughout the Primordial Era. Yet here was another Golden Crow!

"A Three-legged Golden Crow?"

The Seven Fairies gasped in unison.

"Grandpa is so awesome!"

"Yeah, he really is! I'm practically worshipping him!"

"It's real! Other people walk their birds, Grandpa walks a Golden Crow! A Three-legged Golden Crow at that! So cool!"

The Seven Fairies marveled endlessly, their admiration for their grandfather flowing like an unstoppable river.

As they spoke, the Seven Fairies drew even closer, eager to poke the little Golden Crow bird with their fingers.

"Hey, are you guys done yet? You can look, but stop poking me, okay?" The Golden Crow in the cage, annoyed, couldn't help but speak.

"Ah!"

Hearing the Golden Crow suddenly speak, and in a man's voice at that, the Seven Fairies shrieked and dropped the birdcage.

Fortunately, Queen Mother was quick-witted and caught the cage.

"Please forgive my daughters' ignorance, Daoist friend. I ask for your understanding," Queen Mother said to the Golden Crow in the cage.

"You are the master's daughter-in-law, and they are the master's granddaughters. How could I possibly blame you? I was just a bit uncomfortable from being poked," the Golden Crow in the cage said, shaking its head. It didn't seem angry at all.

"Thank you." Queen Mother nodded, then asked, "May I ask where you came from, Golden Crow? As far as I know, there's only one left in the heavens in the Primordial Era."

"Is that so? Only one left in the heavens?" The Golden Crow in the cage looked up at the sky and sighed. "Tenth Brother must have had a hard time all these years."

"Tenth Brother?" Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that you are..."

"You guessed correctly. I am one of the nine who were shot," the Golden Crow in the cage nodded.

"Then how did you end up here?" Queen Mother couldn't help but press further.

"The Master raised me. Not just me, but my brothers too!" The Golden Crow looked reverently towards the house, then at a tree in the courtyard. On one of its branches, eight little golden birds were perched.

If not Golden Crows, then what else could they be!

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

There were nine Golden Crows in total!

Queen Mother and the Seven Fairies gasped in unison.

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

"Grandpa is truly beyond compare!"

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

"And my next life too!"

The Seven Fairies danced with excitement.

With such a grandfather, what was there to fear from their Father Emperor, the Jade Emperor, or their Mother Empress, Queen Mother?

Could the heavenly laws even control them?

Queen Mother looked at her seven daughters and thought, It's over. These girls are definitely plotting something again.

Chapter 7: Have These Fairies Not Eaten in Months?

Evening, the sun set in the west.

It was already dark.

In Zhang Yifan's humble courtyard, a bonfire blazed, and several lanterns were lit, illuminating the yard brightly.

With a clatter and a bang, after an hour of busy work, Zhang Yifan had prepared a large table full of dishes.

Such a lavish spread was rarely seen, even during New Year's.

It was the kind of grandeur only seen at banquets.

Kirin Ancestor, the big black dog, was already drooling, wagging its tail, and darting around the table.

Queen Mother and the Seven Fairies were also quite amazed by this big black dog, Kirin Ancestor, but after having seen the nine Golden Crows earlier and hearing the Jade Emperor mention them, they didn't pay it much attention.

Everyone's focus was on the dishes laid out on the long table.

Slurp~

Slurp~

Not only were the Seven Fairies secretly drooling, but even the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother couldn't help but swallow.

The aroma was too intoxicating.

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

If Zhang Yifan hadn't sat down yet, they would have devoured everything in a whirlwind.

"Grandpa, are you done yet? Come over quickly~" The eldest princess, Princess Tianshou, couldn't help but call out to Zhang Yifan. She was truly afraid she couldn't control her mouth.

"Coming, coming~"

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

"I'll pour the wine for you, Father-in-law." Queen Mother's eyes lit up. She had heard the Jade Emperor talk about this wine before. Compared to this, Jade Nectar was worse than urine!

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

Twenty years. This courtyard was lively again. Zhang Yifan was very happy.

"I want to drink too, I want to drink too."

"Me too~"

The Seven Fairies, one by one, held up their bowls and reached out with shining eyes. The Seventh Princess's drool was flowing onto her clothes without her noticing.

"Everyone, everyone, sit properly. What kind of scene is this, so noisy."

Seeing his daughters making such a fuss, the Jade Emperor put on a stern and majestic face.

The back of the Jade Emperor's head was slapped.

"What are you putting on airs for, you rascal? When a family eats, it should be lively like this."

Zhang Yifan gave the back of the Jade Emperor's head a big flick. The Jade Emperor shrunk his neck, chuckled sheepishly, and no longer stopped his seven daughters.

"Mmm~ What a fragrant wine! It smells even better than the wine in the Heavenly Court~" The second fairy, Princess Tianyang, sniffed and exclaimed in amazement.

"Oh? Could it be that you've even tasted the Heavenly Court's Jade Nectar?" Zhang Yifan asked with a smile.

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

"Then you'd better drink slowly, this wine is quite potent."

"Come, for our family reunion, cheers!" Zhang Yifan raised his wine bowl, full of heroic spirit.

"Cheers to Father!"

"Cheers to Grandpa!"

One bowl of wine, and everyone drank it down.

As soon as the wine entered their bodies, a powerful energy erupted within the seven fairy princesses. However, the erupted energy was invisible and traceless within the courtyard, completely concealed by the courtyard's energy.

Earth Immortal mid-stage, Earth Immortal late-stage, Earth Immortal great circle, Heavenly Immortal early-stage, Heavenly Immortal mid-stage, Heavenly Immortal late-stage!

The Seventh Princess was overjoyed!

After drinking one bowl of wine, her cultivation directly soared from Earth Immortal mid-stage to Heavenly Immortal late-stage!

This sensation was simply too amazing!

The cultivation of the other princesses had also increased significantly, each leaping up a major realm, ascending a significant step!

The seven fairies looked at each other with smiles, nodding playfully. This was truly wonderful!

So this is how cultivation can be increased so easily and happily!

Seeing her daughters' cultivation improve, Queen Mother was also very happy and couldn't help but drink the wine in her bowl.

Likewise, a vast power surged within Queen Mother like a roaring sea.

Her stagnant cultivation had truly begun to loosen.

"Father's wine is truly marvelous," Queen Mother exclaimed.
