Phoenix Clan Messaging Art, Rejection

For a phoenix in this world, nothing is more precious than delicious food and song and dance!

After escaping a calamity, the Little Phoenix gained a more profound understanding of the phoenix's destiny.

The only drawback is that, since Little Cai Niang is now the head chef, the food is naturally quite different from what Little Moon Spirit makes.

Of course, even if you haven't tasted Little Moon Spirit's cooking, Little Cai Niang's cooking is actually quite good, at least seven or eight tenths of the power Little Moon Spirit possessed before she became a god.

However, this is a celebratory banquet for Little Moon Spirit's advancement to Golden Immortal. We can't Little Moon Spirit to cook for everyone! It's unfair to treat such Little Chef like that.

So, it's alright if it's almost there! We'll just have to make do.

The starry sky was dotted with stars, swaying on the lake. At the Summit of the Sacred Tree, the Little Flower Fairies hung crystal lamps of various colors in front of their little wooden houses. The light in the crystal lamps was not firelight, but various crystals that emitted different colors of light.

These crystals are actually all Five-Element Spirit Stones and do not have any radiation issues.

The lights and starlight complemented each other, creating a festive atmosphere on the Summit of the Sacred Tree.

The lively atmosphere continued until dawn. The Little Flower Fairies put their colorful lanterns back into the wooden house, and Wu Chu felt it was about time for the Little Phoenix to leave.

As soon as he brought it up, the Little Phoenix shook her head. "I'd better send the message to my father and have him send his men to pick me up! What if that Demon Lord is lying in ambush outside?"

Ah, that makes so much sense!

Wu Chu was momentarily at a loss for words, as the possibility certainly existed. What if he had just rescued her, only for her to fall into another trap? Wouldn't that make him a laughingstock?

But the Little Fox said, "In that case, why don't we use Fellow Feng Xi as bait to set a trap and drag that Demon Lord out?"

Miss Houtu glanced at the Little Fox and asked, "How do we set a counter-trap?"

"Sister and A Chu could use magic to hide in Feng Xi's sleeve, or A Chu could use magic to impersonate Fellow Feng Xi and then use the 'Universe in the Sleeve Technique' to bring Sister along. With those Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure accompanying him, Brother A Chu's safety is not a problem..."

"Oh no!" Wu Chu shook his head. "I don't need to worry about my safety, but what about Fellow Feng Xi and my sister?"

Houtu and Feng Xi exchanged a glance and nodded, saying, "It's worth a try!"

Yibao also urged Wu Chu inwardly, shouting, "Go for it! Why not? With me here, what are you afraid of? Do you need to worry about Sister Houtu's safety? That Little Phoenix was able to escape their pursuit, so it must have some treasures for protection. Fortune favors the bold..."

At this point, Yibao had completely fallen into the trap of focusing Merit.

"I refuse!" Wu Chu ignored Yibao's urging. "I don't want wealth, and I don't want to take risks! If this is that Old Demon's scheme..."

"Then bring the ancestor's Puppet clone with you! What are you afraid of?"

"No, that's for saving your life, not for taking risks."

"..."

Wu Chu was completely unyielding; he would refuse any advice or persuasion.

And so, Feng Xi arrived outside the Summit of the Sacred Tree, casually caught an ordinary bird, imbued it with a beam of mysterious light, and then released the bird away.

The ordinary bird, enhanced by the mysterious light emitted by Feng Xi, flew with lightning speed and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"What kind of technique is this?"

Wu Chu couldn't help but ask, somewhat curiously.

"This is our clan's short-range communication technique. It uses magical power to enhance the body of an ordinary bird, granting it a temporary ability to fly at great speed. However, this technique also has drawbacks; the bird will not live long after the procedure."

So-called ordinary birds are actually not so ordinary, after all, they have Innate cultivation.

However, this body, with its Innate cultivation level, is indeed unable to bear too much of the magical power of the Taiyi Realm.

"Can this be shared with others?"

"A Chu, would you like to learn?" Feng Xi tilted her head and asked him with a smile.

"If it can be shared with others, then I'm naturally willing to learn it."

"Then I'll teach you!"

"Good!" Wu Chu said, glancing around to make sure the Little Fox, Little Moon Spirit, and Miss Houtu hadn't followed him out. He then quietly took out the Phoenix Tail Feather and handed it back, saying, "Here, this tail feather is yours..."

Feng Xi, who had been all smiles, frowned slightly upon seeing Wu Chu's actions and asked, "What do you mean, A Chu? Are you unwilling to be my friend?"

Wu Chu shook his head and sighed softly, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but rather that I didn't know before that giving tail feathers in your Phoenix Clan also signifies courtship! You may not know that tens of thousands of years ago, your father and your uncles came to me."

Feng Xi naturally heard about this later, so she pursed her lips, her face slightly flushed, and explained, "I didn't mean it that way. A Chu, you don't need to care about my father's thoughts."

Didn't you mean that?

Wu Chu glanced at her, wanting to say, "If you like anything about me, I'll change it, okay?" But now, what could he say?

All he could say was, "Alas! Public opinion is a fearsome thing!"

"Fellow Daoist also said that public opinion is a fearsome thing. If I take it back, how will I have the face to stand before my fellow cultivators of the Phoenix Clan? They will definitely think that you look down on me..."

I really don't like you! Even though you're very cute.

However, Wu Chu couldn't bring herself to say these words; they were too hurtful. Although she was a Phoenix, this Little Phoenix cared about her reputation more than any ordinary person!

She dared to fight Chiwen just to save face, even knowing that Qiuniu and Ao Gan were present.

Seeing this, Wu Chu could no longer insist on returning the Phoenix Tail Feather, and simply said, "Then please explain to your father, Fellow Feng Xi, to avoid them coming to cause me trouble again."

Seeing him retract his Phoenix Tail Feather, Feng Xi chuckled and said, "No, if they come to this Purple Jade Mountain, they'll definitely come to enjoy the food, not to cause trouble for you, fellow Daoist."

"..."

Wu Chu opened his mouth, then suddenly realized that what she said seemed to make a lot of sense.

The last time I met Feng Li, Feng Qing, and Great Wind, they didn't end up fighting; they were all won over by Little Moon Spirit's cooking skills.

Indeed, as it turns out, having a unique skill is incredibly important in this Primordial World!

When Wu Chu returned to the Main Hall after failing to return the Phoenix Tail Feather, he was met with three glares, one from Miss Houtu, the other from the Little Fox, and the third from Little Moon Spirit.

I don't know when it started, but Little Moon Spirit stopped standing on his side and started clinging to Houtu's coattails instead. Sigh!

Wu Chu looked somewhat dejected, and spread his hands as if to say: Don't blame me! Didn't you hear our conversation? I was in a difficult position too!

P. S.: Monday, please vote! Thanks!
