Seifei, Digimon
The afternoon sun shone brightly over Rainbow Bridge, and the crowds were bustling.
The gang leader, wearing a colorful hood, waved a recruitment flag and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"We're recruiting! Food, lodging, and even instruction in martial arts are included! Join us and receive a hand-drawn portrait of a fried fish!"
Pan-frying fish stood to the side, holding a small notebook and taking careful notes.
"Currently, there are zero registered applicants."
Drunk Breeze, with a mint leaf between his teeth, leaned lazily against the bridge railing.
"Boss, even Dog Egg couldn't be fooled by your advertising slogan."
Dog Egg, perched on the boss's head, pecked angrily upon hearing this.
"I'm a fighting rooster! Not a shill!"
At this moment
A clear shout suddenly rang out from the crowd:
"Come out, Digimon!"
"Whoosh—"
A flash of white light appeared, and a gust of wind suddenly swept across the Rainbow Bridge.
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw a woman in white standing in the middle of the bridge. Her red dress was like flames, her long hair was like snow, and her eyes and brows were as cold as frost. She was just passing by.
She held a white jade bone fan in her hand, and as she gently swayed the fan, a cold light flickered in her eyes.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The members of the Hundred Birds Gang fell silent.
The eldest brother lowered his voice.
"This...is a Digimon?"
A drunken breeze stirs the pipe.
"No, this is clearly the 'aloof ancestor'."
Chen Ze stood by, sword in hand, watching coldly.
"They are quite strong."
Shiyun's zither strings moved automatically without wind, as if sensing something.
Xi Jiang silently took out a bag of melon seeds and handed it to the fried fish.
"Watching a show."
The eldest brother cleared his throat, and the colorful headgear shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Young lady! Would you be interested in joining our Hundred Birds Gang?"
The woman in white, Shi Fei, swept her cold gaze over, her voice like ice water striking stone.
"Not interested."
Raise your hand if you're frying fish.
"Our gang has unlimited ice cream cones!"
Shi Fei: "..." (His eyes flickered slightly)
Zui Qingfeng added at the opportune moment: "And there's also fine wine from the Western Regions."
Shi Fei: "..." (He waved his fan a little too slowly)
Chen Ze, holding his sword, said calmly.
"There are many different kinds of milk tea."
Shi Fei's eyes sharpened. "Alright."
The leader seized the opportunity to rush forward, waving his colorful sleeves.
"Girl! This must be fate! Come, come, let's go back to the guild and have a cup of tea!"
Before Shi Fei could react, he was half-pushed and half-pulled away by the members of the Hundred Birds Gang.
When Shi Fei first entered the gang's gate, he still had a "keep away" attitude.
"This is your room."
The eldest brother gave a warm introduction.
Shi Fei nodded with a cold face.
"Um."
"This is the kitchen, please use it as you like!"
"oh."
"This is a latrine... uh, never mind, that's not important."
"..."
Three days later
"Hahahaha! Chenze, your swordsmanship is too rigid!"
Shi Fei sat on the roof with his legs crossed, holding a pot of wine in his hand, laughing without any regard for his image.
Chen Ze's face darkened.
"...Get down."
"I won't come down! Come up here if you dare!"
Shi Fei made a face at him, then turned and shouted at the fried fish, "Fried fish! And get me an ice cream cone too!"
The fish, pan-fried, happily ran to the kitchen.
"Okay, Sister Shifei!"
When she took the ice cream cone, Shi Fei's fingers trembled almost imperceptibly.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he turned around and licked the ice cream off the corner of his mouth.
Drunk Breeze, with a pipe dangling from his lips, murmured softly.
"Where did your aloofness go?"
Xi Jiang calmly ate sunflower seeds.
"It's an act."
Shiyun paused her fingers as she played the zither, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
It turns out that Shi Fei was raised strictly by his family from a young age and had to maintain the image of a "cold and arrogant genius" in public, but in reality he was a cheerful and playful person.
"I've wanted to be this unrestrained for a long time!"
Shi Fei held up a wine jug and circled around in the courtyard, her red dress fluttering like a butterfly.
Dog Egg squatted on the tree and complained.
"Another one has gone mad."
The eldest brother wiped away tears of relief.
"Our Hundred Birds Gang specializes in dealing with all kinds of aloofness."
Chen Ze stood in the corner with his sword in his arms, looking at Shi Fei's smiling face, and silently tied the broken sword tassel back on.
From then on, the Hundred Birds Gang had one more member who was "aloof during the day and crazy at night".
Shi Fei remains the same "cold and aloof white-robed man with a red fan" in the martial arts world, but once he returns to the gang...
"Chenze! Let's fight!"
"Drunken Breeze! Where's the wine?!"
"Fried fish! Where's my ice cream cone?!"
Shiyun's zither music was filled with more joy, and there was always an extra cup next to Xijiang's teapot.
The eldest brother squatted on the roof, looking at the lively courtyard, his colorful headgear shimmering in the setting sun.
"That's more like it!"
