"It's not that easy to be a phoenix. Didn't Caihua die of exhaustion back then? Why should I be so nice to the common people? Am I the god, or are they the gods? Just come over and kowtow and swear an oath, and I have to help you? It's really funny."
"This..." Although Loran Hill wanted to refute, in the final analysis, this kind of thing was entirely voluntary and no one had to force anyone.
“But some people will feel happy and at peace if they do this.”
"They can feel that way, but I can't. Those mortals are just like the monkeys in the mountains. They're ugly, full of thoughts, greedy, and disgusting."
"Well, maybe not everyone is like that." Loran Hill argued softly.
"Yes, there may be only one or two people out of hundreds who are worth looking at. But for the sake of these one or two, hundreds of other people are allowed to gain something for nothing and live comfortably. It makes me sick to see it."
Different witches have different views on humans. Some witches regard humans as children who need protection, such as Caihua and Atatis. Some believe that witches are special humans. Although they are transcendent, they are still connected, so they need to work together. Representatives in this regard are Dorothy and Si Ye. Others believe that witches are completely different from humans, just like humans look at monkeys. Although they are similar, they will never think of themselves as monkeys.
The witch in front of me probably has the last mentality.
After listening to Fei Zhu's story, Loran Hill probably understood her character and did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, he asked her about other things.
"Sister Feizhu, how long have you been here? Have you ever thought about leaving?"
"'Sister Feizhu' is such an interesting name, but I'm not your sister, and there's no need to use those witchy, false affections to trick me. Just call me Feizhu."
"Yes, I have been here for thousands of years."
Although this witch had a somewhat cold personality, she hadn't spoken to outsiders for many years. This time, it was rare for a witch of the same kind to come in, and she spoke a lot unconsciously.
"I had an argument with the Cuckoo at that time and fought with her several times. Many people died as a result, which made the Cuckoo very angry. She is the kind of person who can't tolerate any sand in the sand and is particularly serious. So she fought with me desperately..." The witch also spoke whatever she thought of, and did not sort out the causes and consequences of the matter one by one for Loran Hill. Many times, Loran Hill could only rely on the details and clues in the words to restore the general process.
According to Fei Zhu, she lived on the west side of Youxin State and was worshipped as a deity by several local tribes. She was very comfortable with it. This situation lasted for nearly a hundred years until a cuckoo emerged from the Yellow Sea and landed in Youxin State.
After becoming the patron saint of Youxin Kingdom, the cuckoo used the power of dragon veins to dry up all the swamps in Youxin Kingdom, greatly increasing the habitable area. At the same time, after the swamps dried up, the silt inside was also excellent fertilizer, which greatly increased the grain production of Youxin Kingdom and the population gradually increased.
Later, the Xin State expanded and encountered these tribes in the deep mountains who worshipped Fei Zhu.
"At first, my relationship with the 鑑鑑 was pretty good, and we would occasionally visit each other."
'But soon, she couldn't hold back her criticism of me.'
"Is Lord Qiuju very strict?" Loran Hill asked curiously.
"Ha, that's quite harsh, but in the eyes of some humans, it might be a good virtue. How do I put it... upright, incorruptible, and unkind?" She pondered for a moment, and the red silk on her wrist twisted slightly.
"She's the type who can't tolerate anything that goes against her rules. She strives to make everything clean and efficient, without a speck of sand in her eyes."
"She was very angry about my random killing of some mortals. At first she was patient and just tried to persuade me, but later she just started fighting."
"Perhaps my behavior is to destroy her beautiful conception, which is unbearable." There is a huge conflict between the two people's ideas.
"But..." Suddenly, the witch changed the subject.
"Actually, I don't hate the cuckoo." This sentence surprised Loran Hill.
"Although I often argue with her over certain things, other than that, she's a very good person. She keeps her promises and keeps her public and private lives separate. If I change for the better, she won't hold grudges against me anymore."
"Even though being with her often resulted in arguments and even fights that nearly resulted in death, it was certainly fun. Occasionally, I even thought about doing what she said."
"But, that's just my nature. I can't love and care for all mortals the same way she does."
"Disgusting is disgusting, annoying is annoying. When I see some unpleasant guys, I will turn them into fireworks and explode with a bang~" As she said this, the woman flicked her fingers, and the small piece of red silk in front of her also floated up, shaking like a little man, and then suddenly split apart, turning into strands of silk threads, and fell down softly.
"Would you feel bad if you stepped on a bunch of ants? Of course not. I'd even become interested and step on a few more to see how they react."
"When the cuckoo asked me if I felt guilty, that's what I replied."
Today, Fei Zhu seemed to have opened up in front of Loran Hill, a good listener, and spoke more than she had in hundreds of years.
"Of course I knew this answer would make her angry, but it's also very interesting, isn't it? In the end, the phoenix found another phoenix for help, the blue phoenix."
"Speaking of who I hate the most among the Five Phoenixes, it must be Qingluan. Honghu is very quiet, Xuanqiao is devoted to studying various skills and ancient books, Qunqiao is strict and fair, and Suqin values feelings the most. They are all easy to get along with, but Qingluan is really arrogant to the core..." As Fei Zhu spoke, an obvious look of disgust appeared on her face. Even after a thousand years, she could not help but feel this hatred from the bottom of her heart. It seems that the hatred between the two of them was really deep.
