Chapter 113 Chapter 113
The subsequent developments were as Liuhe wished. Phoenix turned a blind eye to the human race and did not interfere too much.
This tribe did not disappoint Liuhe. Amidst the gloomy future, they fought their way through, eventually developing rapidly. Ultimately, with the tacit approval of Liuhe and the Phoenix, the human race established its own cultivation civilization, beginning to challenge the demon race.
Although there were occasional frictions between the two races, under the control of these two behemoths, the world finally ushered in peace for the first time since its creation. As a guardian, Phoenix also vaguely sensed that the upper limit of his own cultivation seemed to be loosening.
Everything is moving in the right direction.
"Chirp." On the windowsill, Liuliu spread his wings comfortably, basking in the hard-earned sunshine with a look of enjoyment on his face.
There was a thin layer of snow on the red plum tree outside the window, which shone with pure white light under the sunlight.
"It's a rare good day." Phoenix sighed in his heart, and then finally turned his gaze to the thing he least wanted to face in his life - it was a mountain of documents, which were already higher than his head and were even still increasing upwards.
Fenghuang had no doubt that if the building collapsed at this height, it would absolutely bury him. Trembling, he picked up a book and flipped it open. Every page was filled with scribbled work reports. But upon closer inspection, the words between the lines were filled with the word "social animal."
A free soul let out a cry in its heart.
Although as the Demon King he didn't need to attend most meetings, he still had to personally review the final documents. He couldn't escape it.
Miao was diligently stacking the organized documents one by one. Little Sanshui, now a powerful demon, had become incredibly reliable and had taken on his responsibilities as he had hoped.
"This is from the Rabbit Tribe. Their leader said they've recently developed a new burrowing technology that's faster, stronger, and healthier... Oh, they're also planning a press conference. I hope you'd be so kind as to stop by and take a look..."
"Bai Yu'er asked me to pass these on. Besides the usual greetings and wishes, there are also some funding requests... This is the umpteenth time those damned Bear Tribe bastards have requested equipment repairs... Here are their reimbursement forms."
"These are from the Plant Tribe. They say they've recently cultivated a new kind of fruit that's sweet and sour and delicious. Would you like some? If you do, I'll send you some... No, it looks like it's already on its way."
"This is the wolf tribe..."
"This is……"
Phoenix was overwhelmed by what he heard.
Of course, in addition to some trivial matters, there are also some serious work reports, but Miao has no authority to view these. He consciously sorted them out and then put them on another small pile.
Maybe the pile was too high, a notebook slid all the way down from the top and fell to the ground with a "bang". Liu Liu was so scared that he jumped up suddenly, looked around with his big confused eyes, and when he saw nothing unusual, he muttered a few words under his breath, then lay down again.
Seeing all this, Fenghuang's inner villain gradually revealed a tired smile. But fortunately, he had long been accustomed to this kind of life day after day. Even though tears were silently flowing in his heart, his face still managed to maintain a smile as warm as spring breeze, even with a bit of ease. Even Miao, who had been with him for a long time, couldn't notice anything unusual.
——Thousands of years of working in the office have finally made him a lot more stable.
"This is the Feather Clan..." Miao suddenly stopped reading here. He looked up at Fenghuang, then showed the same honest smile as Bai Yuer. He rubbed his hands and said, "Hehe, clan leader..."
"I've told you so many times, don't call me that during work hours." Fenghuang silently looked away. He was very familiar with this kid's smile. Bai Yuer's silly look was still okay, but when this kid showed this expression, it was definitely not a good thing.
Miao said confidently: "Now we are dealing with the affairs of our Yu tribe, so naturally it is you as the tribe leader who will make the decision."
No wonder, the title of "Patriarch" sounds much more intimate than "Your Majesty." Thinking of this, the scheming peacock raised his head proudly.
As the demon in question back then, Miao knew their Majesty's true identity better than anyone else. Such a powerful and gentle being was not only their unattainable leader, but also a member of their Feathered Clan, their shared family. This was an honor not afforded to any other clan.
When those guys were arguing over the topic of "Which clan does His Majesty prefer", he was the only one who silently straightened his chest and disdained to associate with them.
Just kidding, even as the main wife, he wouldn't even bother to end up like that. It's a pity that this matter can't be told to anyone, and even the title of clan leader can only be called in private. Oh, I really want to see those guys' expressions when their defenses are broken.
"Okay, then tell me about it." Phoenix shook the fan gently and did not refute him.
"Hey, actually it's just about the training of the cubs. Didn't the elders of the tribe hold a meeting a few days ago to discuss it? They all felt that it was time to improve the education model within the tribe."
He glanced at Phoenix's expression, rubbed his nose, and continued, "I think that since those humans are cultivating so quickly, there might be some secret behind it. We might as well learn from their experience. If we can truly grasp the secret, perhaps our younger generations' strength will skyrocket in the future."
Humans prefer to gather their young together and have teachers teach them. Monsters, on the other hand, are taught by both parents, with a few choosing to send their young off to become students under a greater monster. Sanshui suspects that perhaps the level of education among monsters is the cause of their overall decline, causing them to lag behind humans in cultivation.
It's quite interesting to say that humans covet the demons' longevity, while demons covet humans' cultivation talent. Each side desires what the other possesses that they lack, yet when asked about their own advantages, they are quite satisfied.
To put it in a nutshell: only children make choices, adults want it all.
Fenghuang's expression was calm, showing no emotion. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Miao on the side became more and more unsure as he spoke. He really couldn't figure out what Phoenix thought about the human race.
Ever since the human race gained independence, the demons have mostly disliked them, some even hostile. The humans, in turn, share the same sentiment. Due to their diametrically opposed identities, the demons refuse to acknowledge humans as part of their group, while humans, unwilling to be associated with the demons, have led to numerous conflicts over the years. Miao didn't believe the phoenix knew nothing, but he chose to let it go.
Aside from You Lin and Bai Yu'er, he considered himself the bird that had followed Phoenix the longest, and the one that understood his ideas the most. Separating the "human" group from the final goal, allowing them to fight against the demons... this approach had already run counter to the original concept.
Although the clan leader must have his reasons for doing this, he still couldn't figure out why, so he decided to take this opportunity to test Phoenix's attitude.
Fenghuang naturally saw what he was thinking, but he didn't explain too much. Instead, he casually pulled out a few documents from the side and said, "The matter you mentioned was mentioned to me by other clan leaders a few days ago."
Miao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and muttered quietly, "Didn't these guys say the plan wasn't mature yet and we had to wait a little longer? How come they submitted it so quickly? What a bunch of idiots."
"This isn't a plan; it's a research application they submitted." Phoenix chuckled. "Your idea is good. Our methods of educating our cubs are still somewhat lacking. We do need to absorb some new ideas to help them mature."
"Do you want to visit the human world?"
Miao smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Then let's set off with the research team in two days."
After saying this, Phoenix seemed to suddenly remember something: "How is Xiao Sanhuo's recent homework?"
"That child is so well behaved and diligent. He's done a great job completing the tasks you assigned him." Of course, if he wasn't diligent, with their Demon King and the clan leader serving as their teachers, how could he dare not be diligent? Even if he tried to slack off, as long as word got out, no matter how much the villagers loved him, they would punish him mercilessly.
When Miao mentioned his son, his spirits changed, his eyes brightened a bit, but his expression was a mixture of joy and sorrow. Joy was that the child was well-behaved and outstanding, but sorrow was that the child seemed to have entered the second phase of middle school, sitting at home with a stern face all day, trying to imitate his idol, Long Zun.
Life isn't easy, Peacock sighed. Seeing his colleagues with sullen faces during the day is exhausting enough, and then when he gets home, his grown-up son also sports the same scowl as his boss. It's unnerving to anyone. And what a shame! He's just this innocent, cheerful little bird!
"Hey, speaking of which, why is Lord You Lin not here today?" At this moment, Miao, who was looking for the culprit to complain to, finally noticed that something was different here from usual - there seemed to be a dark guy missing in the corner.
After realizing this, he immediately opened his eyes and scanned the room inside and out, and finally came to the same conclusion as before: You Lin was not here.
He's not here. Why isn't he here?
Did the sun rise from the west? Or are these two having a conflict? That's impossible.
Seeing the inquiring eyes looking at him, Phoenix was silent for a while: "He went to the human world to do business."
Nowadays, there are not many places that need fighting, so You Lin's martial arts skills are naturally useless. So in his spare time, he began to explore new hobbies, and the dragon race's instinct for love of money was finally exposed.
However, compared to the treasure itself, You Lin seems to prefer the process of making money.
After making the demon clan's business bigger and stronger, You Lin went to the human world saying he wanted to inspect it. He was very mysterious before leaving, and only said that there was a surprise and refused to reveal anything else. He simply learned all the essence of the Phoenix Riddler.
Seeing that guy's happy face, Phoenix sometimes wondered if he had treated him unfairly. He was from a tribe that loved money, and he usually wore black clothes, but the only decoration on his body was actually that bright red earring.
Miao scratched his head, trying to digest this information.
You Lin, doing business? He found the two words ridiculous even when put together. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but You Lin looked like a piece of wood. How could he figure out the accounts?
He thought so and said it out loud.
