Spreading His Tail Feathers

Given Mu Feng's speed, it would not take long for him to catch up with Huo Yuhao. But considering that Huo Yuhao would still have to tangle with the Wind Baboon for quite a while before encountering the Skydream Iceworm, Mu Feng slowed down as well, leisurely making his way through the forest while admiring the untamed scenery of the Star Dou Great Forest.

He also could not get too close to Huo Yuhao. Otherwise, if that old survival expert, the Skydream Iceworm, sensed his presence and hid underground without coming out, it would be a real headache.

"Aunt Bi, are you ready?" A golden-haired girl urged the refined older woman in the emerald-green gown before her.

"All right, all right," Bi Ji said helplessly. "I just don't understand why you have to enroll this year."

The golden-haired girl remained silent, and Bi Ji could do nothing about it.

This breathtaking pair was naturally Di Qiuli and Bi Ji. Ever since they had encountered Mu Feng and his group, Di Qiuli had developed the desire to visit the human world and constantly pestered Bi Ji about going out.

Unable to refuse her, Bi Ji could only have Di Qiuli ask Di Tian for his opinion. Di Qiuli had a special way of dealing with Di Tian: she had accurately seized upon his weakness—the Lord who was still recuperating in the Lake of Life.

She frankly told Di Tian that Mu Feng would also be going to Shrek Academy, and that she wanted to observe him up close. As expected, this move greatly tempted Di Tian, who had been constantly thinking about Mu Feng. Di Tian thus agreed to the auspicious beast's request.

However, to prevent the experts of Shrek from seeing through her identity as a soul beast, she had specially cultivated in human form within the Lake of Life for a year. With the Lord's help, she erased the aura of a soul beast from herself.

Today was the day she would set out for Shrek to take part in its admissions. It was her first true journey into the human world, and Di Qiuli could not help feeling a small thrill of excitement.

After wandering about for quite some time, Mu Feng finally heard a tremendous commotion ahead. It had to be the moment that million-year "power bank" emerged.

At the moment the man and the worm fused, Electrolux would be drawn here. Mu Feng had only one task: rush into Huo Yuhao's vicinity and use the traits of his holy martial soul to attract Electrolux, spreading his brilliant feathers as wide as he could like a male peacock. This was already the best method Mu Feng could think of.

By the time Mu Feng arrived, a powerful spiritual shockwave struck him. It was the disturbance caused by the fusion of the giant worm and Huo Yuhao. The once-clear sky instantly erupted with thunderous booms, and within moments, dark clouds blanketed the entire southern region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Mu Feng hurriedly unleashed his third soul skill, Star Spirit's Grace. After being stunned for only a moment, he recovered from the impact. Empowered by his soul skill, his aura abruptly rose to another level. Beneath the shroud of dense black clouds, Mu Feng's figure now resembled a point of light in the darkness, exceptionally conspicuous.

As the Skydream Iceworm busied himself with Huo Yuhao, he stared blankly at the sight before him, which was far beyond his understanding. High in the sky, unnoticed by everyone, a gray current of air descended from above.

Electrolux sensed a powerful spiritual fluctuation and was drawn to this unfamiliar world. Just as he was about to head toward the little fellow who had triggered this change, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

A bright point with wings on its back, radiating a holy aura of light, caught his attention. The most urgent matter was finding a host; otherwise, with his damaged soul power, he would soon dissipate into the void. After only a moment's consideration, he changed direction and transformed into a stream of air, flying toward that point of light.

Still sensing no change, Mu Feng anxiously looked up at the cloud-covered sky. Whether my method works will be decided in this instant.

Fortunately, he had been right. Whether due to the instinct of his damaged divine consciousness to seek advantage or Electrolux's keen perception of the aura of light, Mu Feng had a greater chance of being chosen than Huo Yuhao, who possessed only a spiritual attribute.

The gray current of air was so fast that Mu Feng's naked eye failed to catch even a trace of its path. Then, he suddenly heard an aged voice from behind him. "Holding the sun and moon in my hand, plucking the stars, there is no one in this world—"

"Eh?" Before Electrolux could finish his signature saying, he abruptly voiced his confusion.

After entering Mu Feng's spiritual sea, he transformed into a gray pearl. He had intended to settle down and recuperate there, but unexpectedly, a cluster of gentle holy light floated within it, constantly radiating a warm glow. It actually nourished his damaged divine soul bit by bit.

"I've struck gold this time." Electrolux examined Mu Feng's spiritual sea in astonishment. Faint golden radiance filled its surroundings, while beneath the surface floated two clusters of brilliantly colored light. He exclaimed inwardly, This little fellow is truly extraordinary.

Hearing that unfamiliar aged voice in his mind, Mu Feng was stunned for a moment before delight appeared on his face.

"Success!"

However, Mu Feng quickly suppressed his excitement and adopted a puzzled tone as he "cautiously" asked, "May I ask who you are, Senior?"

Electrolux's remaining soul power had originally been extremely weak. He had planned to reside in Mu Feng's mind for a while before making further plans, but he had not expected the holy light in Mu Feng's spiritual sea to repair his divine consciousness. It gave him enough energy to sustain a conversation with Mu Feng.

The aged voice sounded again. "This old man's divine consciousness suffered severe damage, leaving only this wisp of soul behind. For now, I shall reside in your spiritual world and repair my divine consciousness."

Electrolux continued, "Do not worry. This old man bears no ill intent. My soul power is currently far too weak, and I can only recall that this world seems vastly different from the one where I once lived."

Mu Feng pondered for a moment. In his previous life, when he had read the novel, he had been full of goodwill toward Electrolux. Though Electrolux had endured countless betrayals throughout his life, for Huo Yuhao and for Long Haochen, he had still chosen to sacrifice himself to fulfill his students.

Mu Feng sincerely asked, "Then how can I help you restore your soul power, Senior?"

Electrolux was taken aback. He had not expected this little fellow, whom he had only just met, to want to help him after hearing of his condition. It gave Electrolux, who had lost most of his memories, a trace of warmth.

He cleared his throat. "Restoring divine consciousness requires a great deal of life force, and sacred objects containing life force are rare and difficult to find. However, the cluster of holy light in your spiritual sea is of great benefit to this old man's recovery."

Mu Feng was delighted upon hearing this. He had not expected the orb of light obtained after his spiritual sea evolved to have such an effect. It seemed Electrolux would no longer need to sleep for a long time before awakening, as he had before.

"Then please continue resting, Senior. If there is anything you need help with, this junior will certainly do his utmost."

Electrolux took a great liking to this polite little fellow. Amid his hearty laughter, the gray pearl within Mu Feng's spiritual sea quietly floated beside the holy light, making no further movement.

After dealing with Electrolux's matter, Mu Feng finally turned his attention back to Huo Yuhao.
