Outside the cave was a large valley, like a fairyland.

Sunlight streamed through the clouds, illuminating the entire valley. Lush greenery abounded, and various exotic flowers and herbs swayed gently in the breeze, releasing their fragrance. A clear stream flowed through the valley, its babbling brook sounding like a beautiful melody.

In the valley, various monsters roamed. These monsters were of different shapes and sizes, some fierce and some agile, but without exception, they were all monsters that had developed some intelligence.

Here, centuries-old monsters don't seem to be uncommon.

Sheng Wenjin, Si Mingye, and Sheng Wanwan cautiously entered the valley, afraid of disturbing its tranquility. They knew that although these demonic beasts appeared docile, they might attack in droves once they saw humans enter.

Just as humans cannot tolerate monsters, these monsters also dislike humans.

Sheng Wanwan was even prepared to take Sheng Wenjin and Si Mingye into the space at any time.

However, it seems they were overthinking things, as none of the monsters attacked them.

Instead, they all turned their heads to observe them curiously, but showed no intention of attacking.

Sheng Wanwan felt that these monsters must have lived here since birth and had never seen humans before.

I'm still completely confused...

"Big brother, Crown Prince, look over there! What kind of monster is that? It's so ugly!" Sheng Wanwan suddenly pointed to a corner of the valley and asked!

Sheng Wenjin and Si Mingye looked in the direction Sheng Wanwan was pointing and saw a chicken that was completely black with its feathers scattered and almost gone.

The chicken wasn't very big, and it wasn't very good-looking, but it gave off a feeling that it was very confident and powerful.

Because it was raising its bare wings and pointing at the sky, cursing loudly.

Because it was quite far away, she couldn't hear what it was cursing. But for some reason, Sheng Wanwan felt that it was cursing very filthy!

"I don't know. I've seen many monsters in my past life, but I've never seen such an arrogant chicken!"

Sheng Wenjin also looked at the chicken with a puzzled expression; it looked like it had been caught and was being grilled, but had run away halfway through.

In his previous life, he could command all beasts, but he had never seen a chicken gain sentience and become a demon beast!

Could it be that it had an epiphany just before being turned into barbecue? Did it regain its senses?

Si Mingye had never seen anything like it before. Looking at the cursing roast chicken, his lips twitched.

Suddenly, a deafening tiger's roar echoed through the valley.

The bald chicken was so frightened that it trembled all over and ran wildly toward them.

It must have been running away frequently; though its legs were short, it ran incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was not far from Sheng Wanwan.

At that moment, a giant tiger, three or four times larger than a normal tiger, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and charged straight at the bald chicken.

This giant tiger was clearly the one that had roared earlier. Its appearance shook the entire valley, and all the monsters turned and ran away.

"Big brother, Crown Prince, that should be the demon tiger we're looking for! It's like finding a needle in a haystack! Brothers, hurry up and attack!"

Sheng Wanwan's eyes lit up when she saw the giant white tiger.

Wow! Such a big tiger! It would be so cool to ride her!

Sheng Wanwan called out and rushed towards the demon tiger on her short legs.

But Sheng Wanwan's short legs had only taken two steps when she was bumped into by a roast chicken that was also short-legged but incredibly fast.

Because of her small size, Sheng Wanwan was knocked over and fell to the ground.

"Ouch...it hurts so much! You bald chicken, how dare you bump into me? You're asking for it!"

Sheng Wanwan cried out in pain. She had fallen hard, and her whole body ached. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Wanwan! Are you alright?"

"Wanwan, how are you?"

At this moment, the demon tiger had caught up. Sheng Wenjin and Si Mingye were already fighting the demon tiger with their longswords, and had no time to pay attention to Sheng Wanwan. They could only ask about Sheng Wanwan's condition while fighting!

"I'm fine! You guys keep fighting, I need to get my revenge!"

As she spoke, Sheng Wanwan stood up and strode towards the bald chicken with her short legs: "You bald chicken, can't you see where you're going? You're going to kill me! I'm going to beat you to death today, and then roast you and eat you!"

As she spoke, Sheng Wanwan was about to start plucking the remaining feathers from the bald chicken so she could roast it later.

The bald chicken watched as Sheng Wanwan walked aggressively towards it, and shouted as it backed away:

"Hey! Little brat, what do you think you're doing? Let me tell you, I am a member of the powerful Phoenix Clan. If you dare to touch me, once I regain my strength, I'll burn you to death!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Wanwan stopped what she was doing, staring wide-eyed at the bald chicken. "You! You can talk?"

"Nonsense, of course I can talk! We Phoenixes are divine beasts, what's a little talk to us? If I weren't injured, I could even transform into human form!"

The bald chicken held its head high, looking incredibly proud!

Sheng Wanwan blinked and asked curiously, "Phoenix Clan? Then how did you get injured? How did you become like this... uh... special?"

Sheng Wanwan didn't believe it at first, but then she thought of Mei Niang, who was by her mother's side. She had only cultivated for a hundred years, yet she was already able to transform into human form.

It is said that Wu Zetian was a descendant of the nine-tailed fox.

It seems that only those with divine beast bloodlines can transform into human form and speak human language in a very short period of cultivation.

Take the demonic tiger in front of us, for example. It has existed for hundreds of years, but it only has a little bit of intelligence. It cannot speak, much less take human form.

Therefore, what this bald chicken in front of us said is somewhat believable!

Upon hearing this, the bald chicken's expression immediately fell, and it sighed, saying, "Alas, that's because it's time to advance! You know what? I'm only one step away from becoming a true immortal beast!"

Who knew my tribulation lightning would be Purple Profound Lightning? Damn it, I was supposed to transform into a celestial beast, not upgrade to a divine beast! The Heavenly Dao sent down Purple Profound Lightning and it just kept crackling and striking me!

Little brat, look, look! All the hair on my body has been chopped off!

"Waaaaah... Do you think the Heavenly Dao has gone senile? Who did I offend! Why do I have to suffer such a tribulation? Waaaaah..." The bald chicken cried out in grievance.

"Huh? A lightning tribulation?!"

Upon hearing Bald Chicken mention the tribulation of lightning, Sheng Wanwan felt as if she had found a kindred spirit and looked at Bald Chicken with a sympathetic expression.

When she transmigrated to this world, she also suffered a lightning tribulation.

Unfortunately, this lightning tribulation wasn't actually hers! She was mistakenly struck by lightning and died.

She was even worse off than a bald chicken; she was completely chopped up!

She also felt that the Heavenly Dao was indeed senile and blind!

But she didn't dare to curse the will of Heaven...

Sheng Wanwan picked up the bald chicken, sympathetically stroked its remaining few feathers, and then tossed it into her spatial storage.

"Baldy, the outside world is too dangerous. Why don't you come to my space to heal your injuries?"

"Hey! Kid! I'm not called Bald Chicken, I'm called Phoenix Palace..."
