"Your feathers are unlike any other demon beast I've ever seen! Ah, they feel so soft!" He Buxian exclaimed as he stroked Feng Changge's feathers with a mischievous grin.

As a member of the ancient phoenix clan, his fiery red feathers are not only magnificent but also soft, making him incredibly desirable.

"You phoenixes' feathers are so softer than ordinary pheasant feathers! Wow, I never imagined phoenixes were graded! Now that I've finally encountered one, I'll have to pluck a few feathers to keep as collectibles!"

As He Buxian spoke, a ferocious smile appeared on his face as he reached out to grab the feathers from Fengchang Pavilion.

Compared to the entire body, if He Buxian only plucked a few feathers, it wouldn't be a big deal for Feng Changge, since he had plenty of feathers!

But He Buxian wasn't about to let it go so easily; he plucked a whole handful of feathers with a single move.

"Awoooooo..."

Feng Changge's body suddenly struggled, its beak wide open, looking as if it were in great pain. Tears almost welled up in its fiery red eyes.

Clearly, losing a large number of feathers was quite painful for Feng Changge, but because he was bound by the black iron chains, he was not only unable to struggle, but also unable to make a sound.

Fortunately, feathers can grow back after being plucked. However, for the ancient phoenix clan, this can only be solved by time; there is no magic that can solve the problem of feather growth.

Therefore, once those feathers are plucked, it takes a very long time for them to grow back.

During this time, Feng Changge could only watch as his bald body soared through the heavens.

Thinking of this, Feng Changge felt like crying.

You must know that the ancient Phoenix Clan is an extremely proud race. If he were to have a bald patch on his body, Feng Changge would be so ashamed that he would rather squat in this mansion every day than fly!

Seeing He Buxian's hand reach up again, clearly intending to grab another handful of his feathers, Feng Changge felt a pang of heartache and gestured to Lin Yu with his eyes to save him quickly.

Those fiery red eyes seemed to speak, "Stop this kid right now! Stop messing with my feathers!"

However, Lin Yu ignored Feng Changge's silent protest and quietly looked away.

This kid definitely needs to be taught a lesson. I only used black iron chains to bind him, which was definitely too lenient.

A hothead like Feng Changge needs to be properly tormented by someone like He Buxian.

While plucking the other person's feathers, He Buxian asked, "How is it? Are you comfortable? Judging from your attitude just now, you're planning to stick to your guns and absolutely refuse to cooperate with us."

"But it doesn't matter, in that case, there's no use for us keeping you around!"

"You know what, your feathers are really long. Tomorrow, I'll go make a shuttlecock. Do you know what a shuttlecock is? It's a toy for ordinary people, made by tying together feathers like pheasant feathers, and then..."

He Buxian said with a smile, without the slightest hesitation, frantically plucking the feathers of Feng Changge.

Feng Changge was initially furious. He was quite pleased with himself at first, but after losing feathers for a while, he only felt sorry for his own feathers.

"We won't put you down until you agree to our demands. I want to see if your ancient phoenix clan, which is known for its rebirth from fire, can achieve that by hanging you here and letting you air dry every day!"

Feng Changge was already feeling utterly hopeless after losing so many feathers, and upon hearing He Buxian's words, she was immediately enraged.

Unfortunately, he was now tightly bound by the black iron chains and had no way to break free.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Changge shook his head somewhat humiliatingly.

This time was different from before. Although Lin Yu had blocked Feng Changge's voice, she had not blocked his movements above the neck, so he could still easily shake his head.

Seeing that the other party had already given in and begged for mercy, Lin Yu hurriedly said, "Alright, I can see that the kid knows he was wrong. Quickly put him down."

"If we keep going like this, we won't be of any use when it really matters!"

Lin Yu only spoke up after seeing that the guy was almost done.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Feng Changge disregarded everything else and nodded frantically, indicating that he completely agreed with what Lin Yu said.

It's clear that Fengchang Pavilion intends to agree to Lin Yu's previous request.

It's just his own flame, isn't it? He believed that if the black-robed high priest were here, he would also ask him to help.

After all, the black-robed high priest had previously stated that Lin Yu should be treated as an honored guest.

Moreover, Lin Yu had solved a major problem for their entire race, and now all he was asking was for him to unleash some flames; there was no reason for him to refuse.

He Buxian had no intention of letting Feng Changge off so easily. He had long disliked this arrogant little brat, and now that he had finally found an opportunity to teach this little thing a lesson, he didn't want to let it go so easily.

Besides, I only plucked a few of his feathers; it didn't really damage his core.

No matter what Lin Yu said, He Buxian refused to stop, making Fengchang Pavilion even more desperate.

The Fallen Black Phoenix remained silent throughout the entire process, coldly observing the situation at Phoenix Pavilion.

He had already broken ties with the ancient phoenix clan, and given the previous disrespectful remarks from Feng Changge, she was quite pleased with the current situation.

Seeing that Fengchang Pavilion had been stripped bare in several places and looked quite pathetic, I couldn't help but find it extremely funny.

However, now that Feng Changge has made a move and intends to beg for mercy, the Fallen Black Phoenix is not satisfied.

"This kid agreed so easily, he's really disgraced our ancient phoenix clan!" The Fallen Black Phoenix thought irritably. "It's just a few feathers, why are you so upset?"

"I told you long ago, the ancient Phoenix clan was a bunch of useless trash!"

The Fallen Black Phoenix thought unhappily, unaware that if He Buxian had plucked his feathers today, he would probably already be planning a life-or-death battle with He Buxian, the kind that no one could stop!
