With a smile that resembled a peacock spreading its tail, Shu Xubai was in a good mood, but his words were arrogant: "Little Phoenix, have I spoiled you too much? As food, how can you make such an unreasonable request to your master, coveting the bed... the coffin that your master is lying on!"
The invisible ginger shreds: "!!!!"
To act, to act, to act with all one's might, to act with all one's might while being hypocritical.
When he cries again, she will definitely set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Jiufeng lowered her eyelids slightly, her voice suddenly turning somber: "Alright, it was my invitation that was too abrupt, it was my overestimation of my abilities..."
"You're going to beg me?" Shu Xubai said before he could finish, raising his chin arrogantly, "If you beg me, I'll take you there."
Jiufeng slowly lifted her drooping eyelids and reached out to take his hand: "Master, I beg you, please take me to see your castle, to see where you sleep, okay?"
Shu Xubai was happy and relieved: "Good, good, you're lucky to have a master like me. If you had another master, not only would your unreasonable demands not be met, but you would also get beaten up."
Jiufeng smiled faintly: "I also feel very lucky to have met a master like you. Shall we go now?"
"I just can't do anything with you!" Shu Xubai hummed, took out his black cloak from his spatial storage, draped it over Jiu Feng's shoulders, tied the straps, and wrapped it around him.
He was wearing a white suit, mainly to make his red tail feathers stand out. If Jiufeng hadn't been so eager to see his castle and the coffin where he had lain, he would have definitely shown off at Jiang Si's house, making a stroll around and letting everyone see his beautiful red tail feather ornaments.
To avoid overshadowing the red tail feather ornament, a small black skull bat was hung from Shu Xu's white hair.
Shu Xubai wrapped Jiufeng up, flicked his hair, and the black skull bat landed and transformed into a giant bat, an enormous bat. Although it had no skin or flesh, only a skeleton, it didn't diminish its size at all; it was even bigger than a roc.
Shu Xubai stepped forward first and extended his hand to Jiufeng: "Come..."
Jiufeng placed her hand on his, hesitated for a moment, and then realized he hadn't seen Jiang Si.
The invisible Jiang Si had already boarded the black bat, stirred up a gust of wind, and tugged at Jiu Feng's hem.
Jiufeng trembled slightly, and just as Shu Xubai was about to speak, she stepped on the bat's back and onto its body.
The black skull bat spread its wings and soared high, like a majestic eagle or a roc, flying into the sky and heading west.
The orc prophet and the merman high priest, standing at the second highest point of the palace, gazed at the sky, their robes fluttering, their expressions solemn.
Once the black bat and the man were out of sight, Hu Xian withdrew his gaze, scooped up his hands, and said, "The Fourth Civilization, the Phoenix Clan, is about to decline."
Fu Huan turned around and leaned against the railing: "I thought they had already declined since the day Jiu Feng lost her partner, but I didn't expect they had only just declined."
Hu Xian raised an eyebrow: "Did I tell you where his lost partner is?"
Fu Huan narrowed her eyes: "It seems not, but I don't care to know."
Hu Xian: "Don't you want to live forever?"
Fu Huan couldn't help but chuckle: "Little fox, on this land we occupy, the legends about your fox clan can be traced back to ancient times. According to ancient records, you nine-tailed foxes are auspicious beasts, the darlings of heaven, and have ruled Qingqiu for thousands of years."
"But by your generation, you can't even guarantee the lifespan of your nine-tailed cat. It can live past 100, and you still dream of immortality? What a joke you're talking about!"
Hu Xian, with her hands folded, leaned against the railing just like him: "I was just saying it casually, you don't have to take it seriously?"
Fu Huan's sneer continued: "You little fox, just because your name is Fox Fairy doesn't mean you can become a fairy or live for thousands of years."
"Moreover, some truths are always spoken unintentionally, making others think they are false, but they are actually true. As the high priest of the shallow sea mermaid clan, I advise you that the meaning and miracle of life lies in facing all kinds of variables and going with the flow, not in artificial manipulation or artificial escape."
"As priests and prophets, we possess more than ordinary people, live more luxurious lives, and are worshipped and revered by billions of lives. So don't take the abilities given to us by the gods and heaven and think that you are great and above everyone else, that you can point fingers at others, that you can make yourself live for thousands of generations, and that you can arbitrarily try to change your own destiny and make others beg you on earth. This is immoral behavior!"
Hu Xian turned her head and looked at Fu Huan: "Your Excellency Shu Xubai is a Vampire, a legendary species on Earth. Aren't you even a little curious about what species Jiang Si, Yan Liu, and the Hunting are? And what about those trees that transform into humans, and those companion spirits?"
Fu Huan took out two bottles of wine from her spatial storage, opened one and gave it to Hu Xian, then raised her own bottle and touched it to his hand: "Fox, you're a fox, not a cat, why are you so curious?"
"The universe is vast, containing more than just the Milky Way and the Abel Galaxy. It is boundless, endless, and composed of countless superimposed spaces. Since you love exploring unknown species, you shouldn't be a prophet, but an explorer."
After drinking strong liquor, you feel refreshed and clear-headed. You can pretend to be confused, but you can't be superior to anyone. There are always people more capable than you, and you might even feel incredibly powerful.
Hu Xian let out a breath: "I was just asking casually. Don't worry, I won't dig my own grave or ask for trouble by putting my neck on the knife."
"With the purification of the Earth, my cat's body has also evolved. It won't have a short lifespan and can live to be between 180 and 260 years old. I am extremely grateful to Princess Jiang Jiang."
Fu Huan turned around and moved closer to Hu Xian.
Hu Xian was startled and leaned back: "What are you doing?"
Fu Huan looked at him with her deep blue eyes and said sarcastically, "Your fox clan is quite perverted. Foxes and cats are two different races and two different families. Your ancestors forced foxes and cats to be paired up and gave birth to hybrids."
"Mixed-breed cats and foxes don't live long. You clan leaders are hypocritical and disgusting, trying every means to prolong the lives of your nine-tailed cats, just to impress yourselves!"
"Have you never considered that the reason why the nine-tailed cats of your clan do not live long and do not live to the average lifespan of the orc race is the result of your own sins?"
Hu Xian's pupils narrowed, and his grip on the wine bottle tightened.
Seeing his expression, Fu Huan took two steps back, turned around, picked up the wine bottle, and walked away, saying loudly, "Don't try to test whether I want immortality or not, or whether I'm interested in novel species. Let me tell you, I don't want immortality. I just want to enjoy life to the fullest."
"I'm not interested in new species. Whether it's a monster that lives for thousands of years or a mayfly that lives only a day, I'm not interested. I only care whether it can hold its own when we're arguing or whether it can take a beating when we're fighting."
Hu Xian: "!!!!"
He was just asking out of curiosity, with no other intention.
He knows his own weight and whether he can take a beating!
"You got scolded, didn't you? Serves you right." After Fu Huan walked away, Si Mubei, not dressed in women's clothing but in men's clothing, with short hair instead of long hair, walked out with his hands in his pockets and gave Hu Xian a barrage of disdain: "Curious, curious! You're curious about everything! Why don't you change your gender and become a cat!"
Hu Xian almost jumped up: "When did you get here? Where were you hiding?!"
Si Mubei rolled her eyes at him: "What do you care where I hide? I'm telling you, you dead fox, don't let me hear 'longevity' from your mouth. Longevity my ass! Can't you just enjoy life instead of putting on this act every day?"
"So what if you're a prophet of the orcs? So what if you're the chieftain of the fox clan? Don't blame me for not telling you, but in this house, your status is really nothing."
"Everyone in this room, looking around, is rich, powerful, and influential, with multiple identities flying around. What are you? You're nothing!"
"To put it bluntly, they're only giving you face because they don't want any trouble. Otherwise, with your personality and your constant airs, they would have put you in a sack and beaten you up long ago. You wouldn't be here thinking about what kind of creature someone else is and figuring out how to live forever!"
Hu Xian: "..."
He didn't, he isn't.
He was genuinely just curious!
How come even his cat misunderstood him?
Is this even a viable way to live?
"Alright, alright!" Si Mubei waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly: "The space jump tunnel from the Abel Galaxy to the Milky Way hasn't opened up here, but it has opened up back there. Pack your things and hurry back to the Abel Galaxy."
"As for me, don't worry about me. Whether I live to be 100 or 500, I might fall in love, but I won't get married or have children. The hybrid of a cat and a fox is against the laws of nature and crosses species boundaries. For me, it's over."
Hu Xian's heart skipped a beat: "Cat, you..."
"What did I do that scared you?" Si Mubei asked him frankly. "Then I'm sorry, when you go back, please tell the elders in the clan that anyone who tries to mate a fox with a cat every day will be cursed."
"Please make sure they understand clearly that I am just lazy, I just don't care, I just think confinement is meaningless, but that doesn't mean I'm incompetent."
Hu Xian: "I know your calculation skills surpass mine; you are the true prophet of the orcs, I..."
"Alright, there's no point in saying more." Si Mubei interrupted him and walked right past him: "Just do as I say. I'm going to tease Yan Daqi, pet the panda, and play with Xiao Weichi."
"Haha, life has so many fun things and delicious things to eat, so we should enjoy it while we can!"
Hu Xian: "..."
He watched his cat walk away into the distance.
His cat has really changed.
Yanliu also saw the giant bat flying away and was wondering whether she should follow it when Quanjian came over to invite her to play. She then presented her plan for settling the zombies.
Upon seeing so many plans and so much government work, Quanjian ran away faster than a rabbit, fearing that Yanliu would push all this government work onto her and ask her for opinions and ideas.
Yanliu disappeared without saying a word, leaving Yanliu to take the plan and go find Azhi, find the zombies, and try to communicate with these unfortunate creatures.
Jiang Si sat on the big black bat, invisible to the naked eye. Sitting on this thing was cool, but it was damn cold, with drafts coming from all directions.
The old, immortal vampire has been dead for thousands of years. He was originally a ghost, and even if he wasn't, he still had the blood of the Golden Wolf Clan. He was furry and wore a mink coat, so he wasn't cold.
She was cold. The higher the stinky bat flew, the thinner and colder the air became, and the stronger the wind became. The wind howled like a typhoon, almost blowing her away.
Shu Xubai, this old codger, is from the West. In the past, it would take ten or twenty hours to travel from East to West by plane, but if you were to take an aircraft, the speed would be so fast that it would only take a few hours.
But that bastard Shu Xubai, just to show off, to be cool, and to let Jiufeng experience the magnificent landscape of barren China and the wonderful things on Earth, damn it, no flying vehicles or cars existed, only that stinky bat of his.
Fly from afternoon to night, then find a place to rest. Look at the stars, the moon, or maybe you'll see a waterfall stop, and a vampire takes off his clothes to take a bath.
With a body resembling a boiled chicken, the way it plunges under the waterfall makes it incredibly alluring and unrestrained.
Jiufeng stood on the shore with her hands in her pockets, watching him intently. Several times, when he wasn't looking, she coughed up blood.
When Jiang Si, that invisible monster, was coughing up blood, she used her healing mental energy to shield him. Even though the effect was minimal, almost negligible, it still provided some psychological comfort and alleviated his pain.
Shu Xubai, that old codger, knew nothing of all this. After taking a bath, he put on his clothes, pulled Jiufeng along, and continued walking. They stopped in the dense forest, where he searched for fruits, especially sweet ones, for Jiufeng to eat and honey to drink.
The invisible ginger shreds ate only sour fruits, which puzzled her. How could the fruits picked by that old codger Shu Xubai be so sweet? Even Jiufeng said they were delicious when she tasted them.
From the same tree, on the same branch, she picked fruit that was so sour it almost killed her. Undeterred, she ate several more. If she hadn't drunk a sip of honey, she really would have died.
They walked and stopped, walked and stopped, and Jiang Si was worried that Jiu Feng might not even reach Shu Xu Bai's old castle. But Jiu Feng was very happy, very happy along the way. No matter where he stopped, no matter what he was given to eat or drink, he thought it was delicious and tasty.
The advantage of a final burst of energy before death is that one appears no different from an ordinary person, but in reality, the body is already in a state of decay. One knows when death will come, but still clings to life, suppressing one's last breath, doing what one wants to do and what one hasn't finished.
And so, amidst Jiang Si's sighs, Shu Xubai finally brought Jiu Feng to his castle.
After 3,000 years, the Earth, whether in ruins or cities, has become a world of plants and animals, except for Shu Xubai's castle.
Jiang Si stared at the castle towering in the dense jungle, her mouth slightly agape in disbelief. "Damn it, this wasn't just built, it's not new. Don't try to fool me, I'm not well-educated."
Like Jiang Si, Jiu Feng gazed at the castle enveloped in red roses in the distance for a long time before asking Shu Xubai, "Shu Xubai, your castle is so beautiful. When did you plant the red roses?"
Shu Xu placed his white hand on Jiu Feng's back and led him forward. The path was lined with red roses and wild roses. "My home is, of course, the most beautiful. If you like it, just ask me, and I can let you stay here for a few days."
Jiufeng suddenly ran forward, then turned to look at him: "Master, I beg you, I want to live here forever, in your house. Will you let me stay here forever?"
