Chapter 452 It's Your Pet

However, none of these things have anything to do with Ye Wanxi anymore.

After Fengtianyu dealt with the man in black, her mission was complete, and Ning Anquan could handle the rest himself.

What she cares about more now is...

"Tell me, what exactly are you? Where did my big, cute bunny go?"

Ye Wanxi examined it carefully from head to toe, and finally hugged it and shook it to make sure that apart from its fur, it had nothing hidden away.

When Feng Tianyu entered, he saw Ye Wanxi picking up the little guy by his hind legs and searching for something. After a moment of stunned silence, his face turned green. He quickly stepped forward and pulled the little rabbit into his arms, asking, "What are you doing?"

Ye Wanxi was startled by his actions and blinked, saying, "I just wanted to see if it was carrying any magical artifacts to conceal itself."

After saying that, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Feng Tianyu with a probing gaze: "Senior Brother, this little guy is your pet, you wouldn't have known all along..."

Feng Tianyu had already been mentally prepared for this situation when the little thing "self-destructed" in front of Ye Wanxi.

"Yeah, I know."

Ye Wanxi's eyes brightened slightly: "Then what exactly is it..."

"To be honest, it was originally your pet."

"My pet?" Ye Wanxi was completely bewildered. She didn't remember when she had acquired a pet.

Not to mention pets, she didn't even have a contracted spirit beast in her previous life. She relied entirely on her senior brothers and sisters to take her out, which was quite sad.

Ye Wanxi's confusion was too obvious. Feng Tianyu's lips curled slightly, and he gave the little guy a smug pat, as if to say: See? Junior Sister doesn't even remember you. You little thing with absolutely no presence, you dare to compete with me for my affection? Ha!

Having spent many years together across two lifetimes, the little rabbit could almost immediately see through Feng Tianyu's hidden smugness beneath his calm exterior. Its fur bristled instantly, and it howled at Feng Tianyu.

Feng Tianyu easily suppressed it with one hand, then prompted, "Doesn't its cry sound familiar?"

"Make a sound?" Ye Wanxi frowned. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that this little rabbit would only hiss and coo when it was angry. Most of the time, it would rub against her and lie down rather than make a sound.

Wait, is that a cooing sound?

Ye Wanxi took a deep breath, her gaze shifting back and forth between the little rabbit and Feng Tianyu, before tentatively asking after a long while, "Is it that pigeon?"

Before Feng Tianyu could even finish speaking, the little rabbit jumped up happily and started meowing at Ye Wanxi.

"..." Okay, it's confirmed, it really is that pigeon! But can someone tell her why a pigeon would be reincarnated as a rabbit?!

One flies in the sky, and the other jumps on the ground. They're not even the same species!

Feng Tianyu was amused by Ye Wanxi's devastated expression, and stopped keeping her in suspense: "It is indeed it, but it is not a pigeon."

"If it's not a pigeon, then what is it?"

"Bluebird, it is the bluebird."

"..."

"The messenger of the Queen Mother of the West in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Ye Wanxi had a million "mmp"s she wanted to say, but she didn't know how to say them.

The Bluebird is mentioned in both the Classic of Mountains and Seas (specifically, the Northern Classic of the Seas Within) and the Classic of Mountains and Seas (specifically, the Western Classic of the Great Wilderness).

"The Queen Mother of the West sits on a table, wearing a headdress. To her south are three bluebirds, who fetch food for her."

“The three bluebirds have red heads and black eyes. One is called the Great Li, another the Little Li, and the third the Bluebird.”

The translation is: The Queen Mother of the West lives on the north side of Kunlun Mountain, leaning against a tea table, wearing a headdress. To her south are three bluebirds that fetch food for her.

These three bluebirds all have red heads and black eyes. One is named Da Li, one is named Shao Li, and the other is named Qingniao.

Regardless of the legend, the bluebird is a beautiful bird with bright colors and a light body. Many people even regard it as the predecessor of the phoenix, symbolizing wealth and good fortune.

You're telling me this legendary, incredibly beautiful bird, radiating golden light, is the same species as that drab, gray pigeon from my past life, which was useless except for delivering messages and feeding me?

I may not be well-educated, but that's no excuse for you to lie to me like this!

Seeing that Ye Wanxi didn't believe her, the little rabbit anxiously nuzzled Feng Tianyu's hand.

Feng Tianyu knew this was a good opportunity to be honest, so he went along with it and continued to explain: "It does have the bloodline of the Azure Bird, but due to insufficient innate spiritual energy and hatching too early, it is somewhat malnourished. Therefore, it looks a bit ugly in its infancy."

The little rabbit was quite dissatisfied with the term "Sealed Heaven Domain." What did it mean by "ugly"? It was clearly conserving its spiritual energy and accumulating strength for a later release. Its adult form was incredibly beautiful, okay?

Feng Tianyu ignored its protest: "That's also the main reason why when you first saw it, it was all gray and looked a lot like a pigeon."

"It's not just similar, it's exactly the same! And even if its appearance is similar to a pigeon due to malnutrition, its original call couldn't possibly be exactly the same as a pigeon's, could it?"

Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's question, the little rabbit stiffened, its eyes darting around, and it cried out a few times as if trying to cover something up.

"Coo coo...coo coo..."

Feng Tianyu, however, was quite aware of its dark history and said with a faint smile, "The call was deliberately faked by him, just so you would mistake it for a pigeon."

Ye Wanxi suppressed the urge to complain and asked seriously, "Why is that?"

"The Bluebird, as the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West in legend, is a real divine bird in mythology, and it also symbolizes wealth and good fortune. In the past, various sects and schools have many rumors that the Bluebird, as an ancient divine bird, carries ancient divine power in its flesh and blood, and eating it can grant immortality."

Ye Wanxi looked surprised: "Is that so? How come I've never heard of it before?"

"These rumors, which are neither true nor false, could easily mislead people and affect their Dao heart. Everyone knows what's going on and wouldn't gossip about it to you. Besides, at the time, everyone thought it was just a rumor deliberately fabricated by someone with ulterior motives. Who would have thought that not long after that..." This legendary divine bird crashed into Junior Sister's courtyard and became one of her pets used to deliver messages.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi understood: "So, it deliberately disguised itself as an ordinary carrier pigeon at first because it was worried that its identity would be exposed, attracting the covetous eyes of those cultivators, and that it would be captured and roasted?"

Upon hearing the word "roast," the little rabbit bristled again, clearly quite opposed to the idea.

Upon learning the truth that the little rabbit had deliberately concealed, Ye Wanxi wasn't too bothered. What she cared about more now was: "When did Senior Brother find out that it was a bluebird, and not a real pigeon?"
