Under pressure from both Lin Yu and He Buxian, Feng Changge finally agreed to Lin Yu's request.

If his mouth hadn't been sealed shut by the black iron chains, he would have raised his hands in protest when He Buxian plucked his feathers for the second time.

But now it's too late to say anything. He Buxian seized the opportunity and plucked several handfuls, leaving several bald patches on his body, making him look extremely miserable.

Ultimately, the Archaic Phoenix Clan were also avian demon beasts, valuing their own feathers above all else.

They considered themselves Ancient Phoenix, the supreme birds, partly because of their powerful bloodline and partly because of their beautiful feathers.

Moreover, while feathers are primarily for aesthetic purposes, they also possess some defensive capabilities.

He Buxian makes his move, his body's defensive capabilities will be affected.

Lin Yu waved his hand, putting Feng Changge down again. Feng Changge immediately glared at He Buxian and yelled, "Are you crazy? You plucked so many of my feathers!"

"When I get back, how am I going to explain this to the High Priest? How am I going to face my people!" Feng Changge's voice choked up at the end.

Even if He Buxian didn't say anything, he still felt that his bald patch made him look as ugly as a pheasant.

Feng Changge now absolutely hates He Buxian. Why does he have to be punished like this?

"You're so boring! I look down on you. If you're so capable, let's have a fair fight!" Feng Changge said defiantly.

In his opinion, Lin Yu and the Fallen Black Phoenix were undoubtedly very strong. After all, he had real experience fighting Lin Yu, and he had also heard about the Fallen Black Phoenix's glorious deeds.

However, Feng Changge was unaware of He Buxian's strength.

Therefore, in his view, He Buxian was just a handyman or a bit player for Lin Yu.

He only came over to pluck his own feathers because he was relying on Lin Yu's prestige.

This made it impossible for the arrogant Feng Changge to back down, and he immediately challenged He Buxian to a duel.

Little did he know that among Lin Yu's entourage, how many were truly weak?

Even if, comparatively speaking, He Buxian is indeed the weakest of the three, he is still far stronger than Feng Changge.

Seeing Feng Changge's overconfident behavior, He Buxian saw through it but didn't say anything.

He Buxian also knew that this kid was a little stung because he had plucked his feathers.

As for He Buxian, he certainly wouldn't mind teaching this kid a lesson. He might be suppressed in front of Lin Yu and the Fallen Black Phoenix, but dealing with such a little guy was more than enough.

"Sure, if you want to fight me, I'm ready anytime! But you'll have to help me first."

"Once this is resolved, I'll beat you until you submit."

"You're talking nonsense! We haven't even fought yet, so the outcome is still uncertain! In fact, even if someone wins, it should be me! Don't be so confident! I will repay this humiliation of having my feathers plucked, tenfold!" Feng Changge shouted angrily.

He Buxian, however, didn't take it to heart and said with a smile, "Who told you to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit? Did our Palace Master hesitate when he helped your Archaic Phoenix Clan? Were there any conditions?"

"It's only because you Archaic Phoenix Clan are so stingy every day that asking you for a simple favor is such a pain in the ass!"

He Buxian said irritably. In his opinion, Feng Changge was too stingy and didn't know how to repay kindness. They really deserved to be taught a lesson.

Of course, although his actions just now seemed rough and casual, in reality, the positions of the feathers he plucked were all calculated by him.

If this vain kid just takes better care of his few tattered feathers, there's still a chance he can cover up the bald spots he's plucked.

"But looking at this kid's ungrateful attitude, even if I blocked it, he'd probably think I accidentally pulled the wrong one! He'd never guess it was intentional!" He Buxian thought indignantly.

Immediately, he regretted it; he shouldn't have been so polite to this kid!

He Buxian did not discard the Ancient Phoenix Feather he plucked; instead, he preserved them.

After Feng Changge agreed to this, everything became much easier. Lin Yu, He Buxian, and the Fallen Black Phoenix immediately began making arrangements. After informing Feng Changge of the time of the operation, they hurriedly left.

In the end, only Feng Changge was left, dejectedly standing there.

He did want to go back to find his people, but having his feathers plucked made Feng Changge feel extremely ashamed, and he immediately lost his spirits.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, couldn't care less about Feng Changge's condition. After all, what He Buxian had done hadn't killed him; it had only been a small lesson.

This time, Lin Yu directly took out the Heaven-Mending Fragment, as if waiting for his enemy to come to him, and placed the Heaven-Mending Fragment directly in front of him.

Before Lin Yu was a red candle, which was extremely special. It was made from the oil condensed from the body of a mermaid, and it was said that its light could not be blown away by the wind. It was so pure that it was quite precious.

Lin Yu stroked the Heaven-Mending Fragment- Heaven-Mending Fragment, pretending to study its details, waiting for the Water Droplet Man to take the bait again.

Lin Yu knew that the Water Droplet Man was definitely waiting nearby for another opportunity to make a move, because he had already used the Hongmeng System to investigate and confirm the Water Droplet Man's location, which was always near the residence of Daoist Shouyang.

Lin Yu's previous arrangements with He Buxian, the Fallen Black Phoenix, and Feng Changge were naturally protected by special magic, so that the Water Droplet Man had no idea of his intentions.

As night gradually passed and the surroundings became increasingly peaceful, Lin Yu was not in a hurry. He calmly examined the Heaven-Mending Fragment in his hand.

"Bang..."

A gentle breeze blew in, directly opening Lin Yu's door. The candle flame opposite Lin Yu flickered slightly but did not go out.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, knowing that the Water Droplet Man had fallen into the trap.

"It seems I really hurt this guy before. Now she can't wait to absorb the power of the Heaven-Mending Fragment and hurry up to recover her strength!" Lin Yu secretly calculated everything in his mind.
