Chapter 184 Whose Listen?
"Confess and you will be treated leniently..." Chang Hao's smile faded, and his aloofness, nobility, and coldness became extremely apparent, greatly increasing the pressure on Yaochi.
"I'm worried that you secretly brought the Golden Crow home without telling me, Senior Brother. The Dao Ancestor has explicitly forbidden you from getting involved in matters of witches and demons. Given your loyalty and sense of justice, it's hard for me not to worry." Yaochi was on the verge of tears. Why did she have to do that? It really was the Golden Crow. Wouldn't the Sage notice?
Chang Hao chuckled to himself. It seemed he had taken too good care of Yaochi, and things were in trouble now.
"Is your senior brother good to you?" It seems that Yaochi doesn't trust him at all, and suspects that Jin Ling is a trick he secretly played.
He wasn't wrong, but it was too early. Chang Hao glanced casually at an inconspicuous hilltop; his trick hadn't even started yet.
“Okay.” Yaochi nodded without hesitation.
"What's so good about it?" Chang Hao asked again.
"My senior brother treats me like a brother, a teacher and a father, imparting knowledge and resolving my doubts. He always obeys my wishes and gives me protection and confidence," Yaochi said, listing them off one by one. "Although we call each other senior and junior brothers, my feelings for my senior brother are deeper than those for my father."
Chang Hao feigned sudden realization and chuckled, "So that's how good you think of your senior brother."
Yaochi: "Why would I need to ask? Senior Brother is so considerate and thoughtful in everything. If he couldn't calculate this well, then there would be no good thing in the world." Senior Brother was clearly asking a question he already knew the answer to.
"Senior brother is so good, how good are you to him?" Chang Hao shook his jade fan. Yaochi, oh Yaochi, if Yaochi were to expose the fact that he was secretly raising a little golden crow, he would be in trouble.
“I can be a thousand times better to my senior brother…” Yaochi replied without hesitation.
"Since that's the case, I'm asking you, Senior Brother, who do you listen to, Dao Ancestor or Senior Brother?" Chang Hao could tell from Yaochi's expression that Hongjun had probably sent a message.
"This..." Yaochi hesitated for a moment before cautiously saying, "I'll listen to my senior brother."
"So you are loyal to your senior brother. I am honored. You yourself said that you are willing to listen to your senior brother. In that case, if your senior brother makes any mistakes, you should turn a blind eye. Minor mistakes that do not cause any harm should be quietly covered up for me," Chang Hao repeatedly hinted to Yaochi.
The implied meanings were clear: Yaochi was a smart person and would not give irrelevant answers when her senior brother pointed the finger at her. "Senior brother, what mistake did you make? You taught me to correct my mistakes."
“Sometimes we know it’s impossible, but we still have to do it. The situation forces us to do it. If you really care about your senior brother, then keep quiet and cover for me.” Chang Hao gently tapped Yaochi’s head with his jade fan.
Yaochi touched the spot where she had been knocked, lost in thought. What secret did her senior brother ask her to keep? He was being so secretive and evasive, leaving her to guess.
Chang Hao tenderly picked up Jin Ling, who was squirming on Yao Chi's lap, and touched the seal between Jin Ling's eyebrows. It was surprisingly similar to the seal he had placed the night before, with only a few subtle differences.
With a thought, Xiao Shi, perked up on the nearby hilltop, received the command from his mind. "Big Brother, Fifth Brother, come with me..."
Boli and Kunwu followed closely behind Xiao Shi and stepped forward. It must be said, walking on two legs is easier than walking on three.
Three golden, fluffy creatures fluttered their wings from the towering mountaintop and flew towards Chang Hao's vehicle, looking as if they were falling from the sky. Chang Hao held the golden spirit in his left hand and stretched out his right arm...
Yaochi sensed an unfamiliar presence and, upon regaining her senses, saw three golden, furry creatures identical to Jinling standing in Chang Hao's arms.
Looking at the three golden dumplings, and then at Jinling, it seemed that... Jinling's brothers and sisters had come to find her?
Yaochi quickly looked up at the sky but did not find any trace of an adult demon. Therefore, it was not Jinling's parents who came looking for her.
Huang Long's lips trembled. No way? One Golden Spirit was enough to make him wary, and now three more? Was it a summoning of its own kind?
Huanglong suspected that he had heard the call of his ancestor.
Jinling tilted her head and tentatively chirped, sending a friendly signal.
"Sigh..." Xiao Shi responded, subtly examining the Golden Spirit Shield shield, then turning to look at his eldest brother and fifth brother. Apart from the slight difference in the shade of their fur, they were exactly the same. However, the fur color of the ten brothers was also different.
"I'm Xiao Shi, and these two are named Boli and Kunwu." Xiao Shi immediately led his two older brothers in an attempt to integrate the golden spirit...
"Senior brother, they..." Yaochi couldn't help but say, "Why don't I take them to the demon clan? I guess it's some careless demon among them."
"No need. Don't you think the four of them look very affectionate?" Chang Hao unfolded the peacock fan. The four little ones were either standing on the fan or curled up on the peacock feathers. If you didn't look closely, you might think it was a pattern on the fan.
"Senior brother, do you mean to take them back?" Yaochi was dumbfounded. When did his senior brother pick up Tongtian's habit of bringing home fluffy things everywhere?
“Yes, don’t you think they’re adorable?” Chang Hao gestured for Yao Chi to take a closer look. “The more you look at them, the cuter they become. Leaving such young Destinies in the wilderness would put them in danger.”
"I don't think so." Yaochi deeply understood Yuanshi's feelings at this moment, but unfortunately she didn't have Yuanshi's methods and couldn't control him.
"Alright, I think it's fine." Chang Hao tossed the four dumplings to Huang Long. "Huang Long, keep an eye on things. That's all for today's patrol. Go back now. Your uncle will be overjoyed to see that you got three free for every one you picked up."
Huanglong was trembling with fear, his uncle was overjoyed, but his master might not be able to laugh.
Staring at the four phoenixes each occupying his shoulders, Huanglong resolved to work harder. He was determined to cultivate diligently. So what if dragons were the phoenixes' prey? He was certain he could suppress these four phoenixes with his cultivation and prevent them from eating him. He was certain!
As Huang Long expected, Tongtian saw the four dumplings arranged in a row, their colors ranging from dark to light, and grinned from ear to ear, glancing furtively at his second brother.
Yuanshi's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated, remembering that he had promised Chang Hao that he would never speak of the demon race again, so he shut his mouth in time.
Tongtian's smile widened. Sure enough, even his second brother had to restrain himself on Chang Hao's turf. Congratulations!
"Chang Hao, this, this, this, you picked it up and gave it to me?" Tongtian loves every single one he sees, and the furry creatures he collected on Jin'ao Island are no longer his favorites.
“These are yours,” Chang Hao pointed at Jin Ling, “and these are mine. I’m going to keep them by my side.” If Di Jun knew that he had given his brother away like this, he would be furious with him.
“Yours and mine are no different. My good disciple is your good disciple,” Tongtian nudged Chang Hao’s shoulder with his own. “Good brother, I’ve raised them all as my disciples.”
"You have too many disciples. Too many disciples make you less valuable." Don't think Chang Hao didn't know. Tongtian's disciples were like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, one after another.
