Night-Wandering Woman · Yin Fei (2/3)

"Father—has he really lost like this?"

In a remote mountain forest, far from the Guifang Kingdom.

Having escaped the Huoji looked up at the sky, but his gaze was extremely dull.

Even from here, one can clearly see everything that happens within the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land].

From the evenly matched clash between Wuzhiqi and Heaven-Eroding Lord to the collapse of the Earth Veins of the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] into chaos, and then to Li Boyang's appearance and shattering of Wuzhiqi's physical body with "infinite firepower," the entire process seemed long, but in reality, it only took a short hour.

Before Huoji could even recover from the shock of being crushed, the confrontation that had lasted for almost half a year came to an abrupt end.

With Wuzhiqi and the troublesome water gods gone, controlling this once-in-a-millennium flood was no longer a challenge for Li Boyang.

Are those weapons even usable by ordinary people?

As the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] slowly shrank and disappeared, Huoji remained stunned for a long time.

At this moment, the machine guns and artillery that had brutally shattered Wuzhiqi's body remained etched in Huoji's mind, unable to fade away.

Although Huoji did not recognize those weapons, he knew of their existence from the Third Prince.

Li Jingshu had broken one of the Flower Mantis's arms with a Talisman Seal Script revolver.

However, Huoji didn't take this small matter to heart at the time.

Instead, they believed that the Third Prince and the Flower Mantis were exaggerating their experiences.

After witnessing Wuzhiqi being blasted to pieces, Huoji felt a Huoji sense of fear.

A small, Talisman Seal Script revolver is naturally not worthy of being taken seriously by the Huoji.

However, those machine guns and cannons, which were clearly "upgraded versions of the Talisman Seal Script revolvers," left a deep psychological scar on him.

The Huoji was utterly unimaginable. If those machine guns and cannons were also replicated in reality, could these high and mighty gods still truly stand above all living beings?

"If I were you, I definitely wouldn't stay here any longer."

Just as Huoji was lost in thought, a cheerful voice suddenly entered his ears.

Looking in the direction of the sound, what came into Huoji's view was a monster that was half human and half bird.

Based on her physical characteristics, she is clearly a woman.

Birds' wings grow from all parts of their bodies, tightly wrapping them like a feathered garment.

Its hands and feet have the claw-like shape typical of birds, yet they possess clearly defined finger bones and knuckles, much like those of primates.

When she gently opened her arms, it was as if a beautiful bird was preparing to take flight again.

"Guhuo Bird!?"

Staring in shock, Huoji cried out the monster's name.

"How annoying, you yourself are Guhuo Bird."

The visitor gave Huoji look, clearly disliking the other party's rude behavior.

"My name is Yin Fei, and I was originally a Night-Wandering Woman-- "

"Although I have now transformed into a true Guhuo Bird, I still prefer people to call me Yin Fei."

With just a few simple words, Yin Fei revealed his identity, and his attitude was undeniably friendly.

The more friendly Yin Fei appeared, the more terrified Huoji became. After all, no one understood better than Huoji what a complete transformation into Guhuo Bird truly meant.

In a sense, that is the final form of all the fragmented souls of the Guhuo Bird, and also the destiny that the Huoji has always resisted.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft! Look how scared you are!"

I didn't come here just to scare you.

"Your mother doted on you. Even if it meant her own demise, she would protect all three of you children."

"Unfortunately, Wuzhiqi only loves your mother, and for that reason, he even went so far as to forcibly implant a wisp of my soul into yours—"

Having Huoji's fear, Yin Fei continued nonchalantly.

"To be honest, your mother has a really strong will."

"Even though she was only one step away from becoming Guhuo Bird, she would rather perish with me than let the three of you become our incarnations."

With a gentle flutter of its wings, Yin Fei smiled and slowly walked towards Huoji.

"I can actually understand Wuzhiqi wants to use that fragment of your soul to revive your mother."

"After all, if I hadn't been afraid of death back then, I wouldn't have become the phoenix I am today."

"But who could blame him when he ultimately faced that Celestial Person being?"

I don't think Wuzhiqi can escape from that Celestial Person being.

Therefore, his plan to resurrect the Huai Calamity Dragon Maiden was destined to be nothing more than a futile attempt.

He watched in shock and anger as Yin Fei drew ever closer.

But the Curse Huoji remained frozen in place, unable to move at all.

"What exactly do you want?!"

With a slightly trembling voice, Huoji spoke again, his tone a mix of anger and fear that reached Yin Fei's ears.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"You are different from your mother; you will eventually become Guhuo Bird)."

"I await that day, just as the Mountain Folk here await the autumn harvest."

At this point, Yin Fei was only inches away from Huoji, extended his claw and gently touched the other's brow.

"Since devouring the soul of the Witch of the Huai River, most of the Guhuo Bird have gained the ability to foresee good and bad fortune, which perfectly counters the divination methods of the Celestial Person."

"Even though you are a deformed child, you still have this potential."

"Now that I'm helping you activate this ability ahead of time, it'll save you from dying at the hands of that Celestial Person."

With a bright smile on his face, Yin Fei ignored Huoji's pained expression and continued speaking.

"Of course, in return, I will also take away the contents of your memory related to the Method of the Celestial Person."

"That is one of the foundations of the Way of the Celestial Person, and I happen to lack these Cultivation Method."

Upon hearing this, Huoji immediately understood the purpose of Yin Fei's appearance.

All the previous groundwork was just that – groundwork.

The true reason for Yin Fei's appearance was the content he himself had comprehended regarding "Breathing Method" and "Perception Method."

Could it even help activate one's ability to foresee good or bad fortune?

That was all just because Yin Fei didn't want to die at the hands of the Celestial Person so soon.

Huoji could easily imagine that Yin Fei would definitely come to see him every now and then, just to force him to comprehend and perfect the "Method of the Celestial Person" more quickly.

I am not your crop; I cannot be harvested by you forever.

Gritting his teeth, Huoji glared at Yin Fei, enduring the excruciating pain as he growled in a low voice.

"I'll kill you sooner or later, and you'll regret it!"

Yin Fei chuckled softly as he patted Huoji's head again.

"You are Guhuo Bird, and I am Guhuo Bird, we are both Guhuo Bird-- "

"If you really have the ability to kill me, I'll only be happy."

"Because that means the Guhuo Bird will become stronger, and I look forward to that day!"
