Even the emperor gets jealous.
Ever since Emperor Fusheng of Fusheng Mountain started raising birds, he is woken up by their chirping every day.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to get up." The little phoenix, who had already finished its meal and training, ran in from outside and flew to the bed, chirping at the still-sleeping man.
"Brother Yue Lao said you haven't attended the morning court for ten days, which is not good. Look at us little birds, we have to get up early to dance and eat breakfast, but Your Majesty, you haven't gotten up yet." The little phoenix's voice was right next to Mo Qi's ear. "Your Majesty, you really should go to the morning court."
Mo Qi frowned as the naughty phoenix kept bothering him, and reached out to grab the little phoenix.
Despite its plump appearance, the little phoenix was still agile, flying around so much that Mo Qi couldn't catch it.
Mo Qi's expression turned slightly cold. He suddenly set up a barrier, and the little phoenix accidentally bumped into it, then fell onto the bed with a thud. With a wave of his hand, the little phoenix landed in his hands.
The little phoenix had just raised its head when it met a pair of eyes that were devoid of desire and undisturbed by any emotion: "Chirp chirp, Your Majesty, an emperor who eats little birds is not a good emperor!"
Mo Qi sat up and ruffled the little phoenix's feathers: "A bird that tries to wake its master up isn't a good bird."
“No.” The little phoenix shook its head. “I am your pet bird, and it is my responsibility to remind you to get up when you go to the morning court. It would be bad of me not to wake you up.”
Mo Qi placed the little phoenix on the bed, got out of bed and dressed, then called for the fairy boy to come in and help him with his hair. Only then did he say to the little phoenix, "The court session is over today."
Upon hearing this, the little phoenix quickly flew over and squatted in front of the mirror: "No, Brother Yue Lao said you have missed ten days of court."
Mo Qi lightly flicked the little phoenix's head: "The Old Man of the Moon is only a little over a hundred years old. How dare you, a three-hundred-year-old little phoenix, call him brother?"
The little phoenix shook the tuft of hair on its head, squatted down, and said, "Sorry."
Mo Qi didn't speak, only glancing indifferently at this little phoenix who was used to pretending to be innocent.
The little phoenix is the smallest in size in Fusheng Mountain, and it is unknown why the adult little phoenix is still the size of a phoenix chick.
Mo Qi didn't ask Little Phoenix aloud, but he himself searched for Little Phoenix's star chess piece on the sundial.
To Mo Qi's surprise, Little Phoenix's star chess pieces were incomplete.
This is why the little phoenix is still just a little bird.
That day, Mo Qi asked the little phoenix, "Yuanyuan, do you want to grow up?"
The little phoenix tilted its head, looking at the man in confusion: "I'm all grown up now."
She is three hundred years old; she is the greatest phoenix among phoenixes.
In terms of human lifespan, that means I'm an adult.
Mo Qi rephrased it: "Do you want to be as big as a golden-winged bird?"
Little Phoenix shook her head: "No."
Mo Qi: "Why?"
The little phoenix proudly puffed out its chest: "Even Jin Jin can't beat me."
So what if you're big?
Fighting isn't about who's bigger or smaller.
Emperor Fusheng remained silent: "..."
After a long pause, Mo Qi asked again, "Then don't you want to become a great phoenix?"
The little phoenix thought seriously for a long time before speaking: "What's the difference between a big phoenix and a little phoenix?"
A fairy maiden carrying a training manual, who was passing by, heard this and said with a smile, "Of course there is a difference."
The little phoenix stared at the fairy with its bewildered little eyes, its gaze filled with a thirst for knowledge.
"Legend has it that the phoenix clan is good at singing and dancing. Once every thousand years, the phoenix dances in the sky, which is a rare and wonderful sight. And these dancing phoenixes are all big phoenixes, not little phoenixes like you, Little Yuanyuan."
Little Phoenix: "I haven't seen the Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens that you mentioned, but the big phoenixes on Phoenix Mountain do look really beautiful when they dance."
