Qianyuan originally wanted to say what she had encountered, but when she saw Zhou Qiujiu's restrained and composed expression, which was on the verge of collapse, she swallowed her words.
He wanted to turn back into a chubby little bird to comfort Zhou Qiujiu, but unexpectedly, Zhou Qiujiu went up and hugged Qianyuan tightly, almost squeezing Qianyuan into her arms.
Qianyuan's bones ached from being hugged so tightly, but he dared not struggle. He knew that Zhou Qiujiu was insecure and that he lacked love.
He simply patted Zhou Qiujiu's back gently:
"I won't abandon you."
“You are a little person that I picked up. I will definitely take care of you until you grow up and I will not abandon you.”
Zhou Qiuqiu's gaze deepened: "And what about when you grow up?"
The cub was taken aback: "When you grow up, you're supposed to be a powerful person, and you'll need to find a wife. Why are you coming with me?"
Zhou Qiuqiu remained silent, seemingly agreeing with what her son had said.
Only he himself knows what he is thinking.
Just as Qianyuan, now a chubby little bird, was slowly dragging the food she had hunted home, she heard Zhou Qiuqiu say:
"You are my favorite person, no, kiss."
There was no one else in the world worthy of his affection.
Without hesitation, the child replied, "I like you too!"
Qiu is so clumsy and hasn't figured things out yet. He likes Zhou Qiuqiu the same way he likes Osmanthus Cake. If you asked him to choose between Osmanthus Cake and the other person falling into the water, he would probably hesitate for a moment.
But Zhou Qiujiu didn't continue speaking.
If snowflakes and gentle breezes arrive.
The child tore apart pieces of the food he had packed and fed them to his siblings, just like Zhou Qiuqiu fed the chickens. The two siblings ate with great relish.
Zhou Qiujiu helplessly covered her face, and then saw the baby flying over with a pastry in its mouth, about to feed Zhou Qiujiu.
Zhou Qiuqiu instructed him: "Transform into human form and feed him with your hands, don't feed him with your mouth."
The child blinked, not understanding why.
"Fine." Zhou Qiuqiu once again backed down for the sake of the cub. "You can feed me like this, but you can't feed others like this. It's too intimate. People who aren't very close wouldn't do that."
The little bird had no idea what was wrong. It was something he remembered learning from his parents, how they fed their chicks.
Close relationship... well, family is indeed a close relationship, but he wouldn't feed him like that outside.
The cub nodded, indicating that it understood.
The little guy and Zhou Qiujiu were not on the same wavelength from the beginning, yet they were able to communicate without any problems.
When the cub had eaten its fill and was sleeping soundly with its belly full, along with Zhou Qiuqiu and the others, the inner disciples were still tirelessly searching for traces of their little fat bird grandmaster, with the lights still on.
Their grand display actually woke up the immortals deep in the mountains.
The Immortal Venerable appeared before his disciples with a dark expression, wondering what they had been searching for all night instead of resting.
It wasn't until the sect leader tremblingly took out the image-recording bead to show the immortal venerable that the sect leader finally succeeded.
The immortal who saw the chubby little bird: ...
He simply reached out and used his magic to lift up all the buildings of the entire sect.
"Find him now! Dig three feet into the ground and find him!"
The sect leader suddenly realized, and he asked tremblingly, "Could this be...?"
The Immortal Venerable closed his eyes briefly: "It's my egg."
"Isn't your egg a dragon egg? How come a bird hatched from it?"
Even the sect leader was confused.
The Immortal Venerable coldly said, "This is not an egg I laid; it was given by the Heavenly Dao and is one of the Four Divine Beasts."
The sect leader knew he had once again stepped on the Immortal Venerable's sore spot, and quickly retreated while forcing a smile:
"I understand! It was my presumption..."
So the inner disciples stayed up all night, thoroughly searching the Tianyan Sect's territory three times over, but still couldn't find any trace of the little fat bird.
They simply never expected that such a noble divine beast would condescend to live in that simple wooden hut with outer sect disciples, and that it had even begged for food outside before.
If they find out, the entire cultivation world, and even the entire human world, will have to kowtow and apologize, and they will be held accountable.
Mythical beasts protect the land of China, nurture all things, and show compassion to all living beings. People should repay these mythical beasts with the most fervent incense offerings and faith; otherwise, if the mythical beasts decline, the immortal path in the entire human realm will be severed.
Even Qinglong reflected on himself for the first time:
"It was all because of my negligence. I dozed off while incubating the eggs, and they disappeared."
When the sect leader heard the Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable speak in such a tone for the first time, he was so frightened that he trembled like a leaf. He didn't even have the mood to comfort the Azure Dragon, because he knew that if the Heavenly Evolution Sect really lost the divine beast, it would be regarded as a sinner by the entire cultivation world, and even the Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable would have to go to other sects to receive offerings.
At that time, their Tianyan Sect will be completely finished.
Just then, a few outer disciples dressed in drab gray clothes unknowingly walked to the corner below them and began to whisper among themselves:
"I don't even want to look for that damn divine beast anymore, what does it have to do with us! We're exhausted! I thought our senior brother had called us here for some good thing, but it turns out we're just here to do hard labor!"
These were precisely the outer disciples who had bullied Zhou Qiuqiu and the cub that day.
They had no idea that the sect leader and the Azure Dragon Immortal were right above them, coldly watching them utter such treasonous words.
"Yeah, to be honest, it's more fun to bully that trash, but the spirit pet around that good-for-nothing is a bit of a problem."
"To be honest, I actually quite want that spirit pet! Don't go too far when you get there. Wait until I catch the spirit pet and forcibly make it my master, then you can go and deal with that piece of trash."
"This is the first time I've ever seen a spirit pet that's covered in flames... But it's a bit too small, not imposing enough. I wonder if it's still a cub and hasn't grown up yet. By the way, did you get a good look at what that spirit pet looked like?"
The other person tried hard to recall:
"Uh... it's a bird, right? It looks like a rather plump bird, but its wings are too short to be easily overlooked. But it is definitely a bird, not a glutinous rice ball."
The guy who coveted the cub was still saying, "Hmph, he's probably been spoiled rotten by that good-for-nothing. What kind of dragon or phoenix can a good-for-nothing raise? Once he's in my hands, I'll definitely train him properly, break his bones, and make him lose weight, otherwise how will he protect me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cool sensation in his chest.
He looked down and discovered that there was a large hole in his chest that he didn't know had happened.
Before he could even speak, he collapsed to the ground, covered in blood, just like everyone else.
Although the Tianyan Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect, and its disciples should not be executed unless they commit serious crimes, the Azure Dragon is already being merciful by not executing these few people by cutting them into a thousand pieces.
The sect leader had no right to stop it; he could only watch coldly as the Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable executed these unfortunate bastards, then turn to him and say:
"Let's go find the cubs at the outer gate."
A moment later, all the outer disciples were knocked on their doors and called to the outside.
