Flirtatious Chicken

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

• Ordinary form: A rooster with colorful, carefully groomed feathers, a conspicuous tail, and a habit of holding his head high and chest out 273 275 822.
• Golden Crow form: An enormous golden bird with wings capable of blotting out the sky and sun. His physical body is described as dark gold 599 707.
• After nirvana: His Golden Crow form becomes larger than after his first evolution, resembling a colossal mountain moving through the sky 821.
• Distinctive expressions: Frequently looks at others sideways, rolls his eyes, and conveys disdain without speaking 279 822.

Personality

Flirtatious Chicken is proud, vain, and meticulous about his feathers. He repeatedly interrupts other activities to preen, especially after Yang Zhen or Shameless Cat disarranges his plumage. Even after nirvana, he resumes strutting and grooming himself with lofty disregard for onlookers 273 275 822.

His rivalry with Shameless Cat produces constant fights, insults, and practical jokes. He also mocks Yang Zhen, calls out Shameless Cat’s exaggerations, and participates in the group’s deceptions. When Yang Zhen falsely claims that their flying devices have been destroyed, both companions support the story while keeping the intact devices in their storage rings 325 383 454.

Beneath the posturing, he is deeply attached to his companions. He shields Hua Youyue and Shameless Cat from a mind-affecting presence, offers his life spark to save Yang Zhen, and greets Yang Zhen affectionately after his rebirth. Their bond is described as no less close than blood kinship 350 710 821 834.

He can speak human words but often struggles with pronunciation or chooses expressions instead. Nirvana does not resolve this limitation: he speaks even less afterward, and his apparently fluent insult following a later seclusion is immediately followed by another strained phrase 822 1449.

Abilities & Skills

Golden Crow Fire

His signature golden flames serve both protective and offensive purposes.

• Mental protection: Briefly clears Hua Youyue and Shameless Cat’s minds under the ancient bronze tree’s influence. His early use is limited, and the protection fails when he can no longer sustain it 350.
• Mass attacks: Pours fire over the battlefield to refine countless Demon Puppets, clearing a large area while Shameless Cat directs him 869.
• Combined techniques: Sends Golden Crow Fire through Yang Zhen’s Taiji Diagram to combine with Netherworld Karmic Fire, destroying an illusory scorpion and breaking Chen Xiaotian’s Mountain and River Restriction 1297.
• Resistance to environmental threats: Uses fire and surging force to smash apart turbulent void currents and slow their descent 1225.
• Late-story potency: His fire is described as nearly capable of burning heaven and earth to cinders 1463.

Transformation and Flight

He can shift between a compact rooster form and an enormous Golden Crow.

• Carries Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er in his evolved form, later transporting Yang Zhen toward the Shangyuan Sect while Yang Zhen is in sudden enlightenment 590 918.
• Can shrink rapidly enough to descend from an enormous airborne form and land on Yang Zhen’s shoulder 1449.
• Flies in the Gods and Devils Ruins, where ordinary flight is impossible and only naturally winged creatures can become airborne 1463.
• Uses aerial cries to warn and guide companions moving on the ground 1463.

Yin and Yang Qi

Nirvana grants him mastery over the Two Qi of Yin and Yang.

• Releases distinct black and white streams of Qi after emerging from his egg 821.
• Maintains a perfect internal balance of Yin and Yang Qi, accompanied by abundant vitality 822.
• Gains stronger flesh and a more powerful bloodline through the same rebirth 822.

Life Sacrifice

An innate ability of spirit beasts and Demon Beasts that offers their life to another being.

• Offers Yang Zhen his life spark after recovering his consciousness during Heavenly Punishment 710.
• Acceptance would place his life in Yang Zhen’s hands and transfer his boundless destiny as well 710.
• Yang Zhen returns the spark because accepting it would prevent Flirtatious Chicken from cultivating to the Great Emperor Realm 710.

Physical Combat and Soul Form

• Fights with pecks, claws, wing strikes, and kicks; his early bouts with Shameless Cat are closely matched 273 285.
• Later moves fast enough to catch Shameless Cat before he can dodge, with his speed compared directly to Yang Zhen’s 1234.
• While existing as a divine soul body, regenerates a beak destroyed by tribulation lightning 711.
• Soul-form limitation: He is not a soul cultivator. Prolonged exposure to Lightning Tribulation destabilizes his soul, requiring a suitable place to anchor himself 711.

Knowledge and Perception

• Knows that Holy Maiden Tianxuan once possessed two Heaven-Ascending Tokens, prompting Shameless Cat to question how many secrets he is hiding 359.
• Recognizes the three-year danger associated with Yang Zhen’s damaged divine soul and can throw his voice even while Shameless Cat holds his beak shut 373.
• Warns Yang Zhen immediately before a violent disturbance following his rebirth, then explains that the unfamiliar Qi affecting the group will disappear without removal 822 823.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Eternal Gold Fighter Jet — A key-activated creation made by Yang Zhen from Eternal Gold Heavenly Iron. Its gleaming silver form equips Flirtatious Chicken with a True Essence Cannon 433 436.
• True Essence Cannon — The fighter jet’s weapon destroys opposing aircraft and kills You Yan along with his vehicle during the flying competition 436.
• Storage ring — Holds his intact flying device when he helps Yang Zhen pretend it has been destroyed 454.
• Three Flowers Sacred Hall — Hua Youyue’s gentle, palm-sized palace temporarily shelters his weakened divine soul. The Great Deficiency Sword is rejected as an alternative because its Sha Qi would erode him 711.

Relationships

• Yang Zhen — Companion and sworn-brother-like family. Yang Zhen refuses to kill him under Heavenly Punishment, returns his life spark, and risks defying heaven to restore him through nirvana 708 709 710 813.
• Shameless Cat — Constant sparring partner and close companion. Their fights involve head slaps, tail pulling, pecking, and insults, but Shameless Cat also provides the Nine Heavens Golden Crow Essence Blood needed for his rebirth and openly celebrates his return 285 813 821.
• Hua Youyue — Trusted companion whom he frequently accompanies or perches upon. He protects her with Golden Crow Fire; she later shelters his soul and supplies Ageless Tree seeds for his rebirth 325 350 711 813.
• Han Yan’er — Traveling companion and passenger in his Golden Crow form. He also rests on her shoulder, and she expresses confidence that nirvana will not erase his bond with Yang Zhen 590 821 834.

Background / History

Early Adventures and the Flying Competition

During the encounter near Spirit Peak, Flirtatious Chicken insists that he is a Golden Crow despite his rooster-like appearance. Yang Zhen catches him by the tail, while his ensuing fight with Shameless Cat establishes their persistent rivalry 273.

In an ancient hall filled with kneeling skeletons, he physically prevents Shameless Cat from taking treasures. Yang Zhen eventually separates them, but Flirtatious Chicken gives no explanation for his refusal 283.

He later accompanies Yang Zhen and Shameless Cat in stripping the Ancient Clan’s ancestral land of its resources. During the flying vehicle competition, his Eternal Gold Fighter Jet helps overwhelm the competing aircraft. The trio subsequently continues treasure hunting in the Sealed Land, where he is reluctantly pressed into digging 397 433 436 473 474.

Disappearance and Heavenly Punishment

After his first evolution, Flirtatious Chicken travels with Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er before reuniting with Yang Zhen. He later disappears around the High Antiquity ruins. Yang Zhen refuses to leave without searching for him, while Shameless Cat helps create a commotion intended to attract his attention 590 653 654 657.

He reappears during Yang Zhen’s Heavenly Punishment as an enormous lightning-formed Golden Crow. His soul has come under the influence of heaven and earth’s will, turning him into both an instrument of Heavenly Punishment and Yang Zhen’s Heart Demon. The cause of his capture remains unknown to Yang Zhen 707 708 820.

Rather than kill him, Yang Zhen drops the Great Deficiency Sword, withdraws his power, and endures his attacks. This awakens Flirtatious Chicken’s consciousness. He offers Life Sacrifice and takes the punishment in Yang Zhen’s place, but Yang Zhen returns the life spark and invites him to fight the tribulation together 708 709 710.

They destroy the tribulation cloud with Evil Shadow Black Taotie’s help. Flirtatious Chicken’s remaining soul then begins to fade, forcing him to recuperate inside Hua Youyue’s Three Flowers Sacred Hall 711.

Nirvana and Return

Yang Zhen seeks access to Jade Pool because the Land of Seven Yin and Seven Yang appears to offer a way to restore Flirtatious Chicken. He eventually completes the Samsara Heaven Formation and chooses to condense his companion’s heavenly destiny, seeking not merely revival but a chance to change his fate 716 813.

The eruption of Yin and Yang Qi transforms the rebirth egg and initially leaves Yang Zhen fearing another death. Instead, Flirtatious Chicken emerges with a stronger body and mastery of both Qi. He recognizes Yang Zhen, shrinks into his arms, and promptly resumes fighting Shameless Cat 819 820 821 822.

Later Expeditions

• Demon God Territory and Jade Pool: Takes Heavenly Punishment head-on and helps clear masses of Demon Puppets with Golden Crow Fire 867 869.
• Shangyuan Sect: Carries the enlightened Yang Zhen home, then later appears to enter seclusion at a critical cultivation juncture 918 978.
• Great Wilderness Emperor Road: Accompanies Hua Youyue, Han Yan’er, and Shameless Cat through the Land of Three Desolations while they seek Yang Zhen 1192 1193.
• Mountain and River Restriction: Combines flames with Yang Zhen to destroy the scorpion guarding Chen Xiaotian’s restriction 1297.
• Later seclusion: Emerges amid mountain-shaking disturbances and returns to Yang Zhen’s shoulder in rooster form 1447 1449.
• Gods and Devils Ruins: Scouts from the air and guides the grounded group through a corpse horde toward a colossal sand altar 1463.
• Later Heavenly Wrath: Attempts to rush to Yang Zhen’s aid until Shameless Cat stops him, believing Yang Zhen is deliberately absorbing the surrounding energy 1484.

Trivia

• His reputation is distinctive enough that an impersonator of Yang Zhen also carries an ordinary chicken as a counterfeit Flirtatious Chicken. Onlookers reject the imitation when it is easily swallowed by a Black Puppet 487 494.
• Shameless Cat calls Mo Xueling’s wooden flying device Flirtatious Chicken’s “wooden brother.” Mo Xueling and Flirtatious Chicken chase him for three days afterward 423.
• The Great Deficiency Sword’s daydream effect makes him imagine himself as the proudest bird under heaven, displaying feathers seemingly capable of changing the colors of heaven and earth 451.
