"Hiss~"
Bi Lian wasn't on guard against her own brat, and she didn't expect the little rascal to peck her. Suddenly, it pecked her squarely, making a hissing sound.
Seeing that the little guy had succeeded once and wanted to do it again, Bi Lian could only add more protection to her hands while pressing down on its little head with her other free hand.
He couldn't help but chuckle and mutter under his breath, "You brat, you're even pecking at your own father!"
Little Bifang showed no intention of replying. It was trying its best to pry open Bi Lian's hand that was controlling its head and give it another slap.
Bi Lian was also curious to see how strong Xiao Bi Fang was now, so the father and son started playfully bickering back and forth.
To avoid disturbing the still-unawakened chicks in the incubation pool, Bi Lian deliberately suppressed Little Bi Fang as she walked out.
By the time Xiao Bifang realized it, the father and son had already arrived near the exit of the secret place.
At the same time, the Heavenly Dao outside seemed to have sensed Xiao Bifang's presence, and the wind and clouds surged, indicating that the tribulation lightning was about to arrive.
There was nothing he could do. Even if he really wanted to go to the millet field, Xiao Bifang knew that the time was not right. He glared at his father and reluctantly left the secret place.
As soon as it emerged, the lightning tribulation quickly locked onto it, and the tribulation clouds began to rush in from all directions.
Even before entering the secret realm, Lu Li had already considered that the children might need to undergo tribulation.
Not only did they prepare the necessary items for their tribulation in advance, but they also told the winged race where they were to undergo their tribulation.
To prevent those who are directionally challenged or unable to distinguish directions, he specially arranged for a phoenix to lead the way.
Therefore, upon seeing the tribulation lightning, a phoenix guarding the secret place rushed over and led the father and son to a mountain where they could undergo the tribulation lightning.
Bi Lian hurriedly left a pile of items for Xiao Bi Fang to prepare for its tribulation, then fled the range of the lightning tribulation as if her pants were on fire, lest she also be targeted by the lightning tribulation.
Almost half an hour after it retreated, the lightning tribulation overhead was fully formed.
With a loud "boom," a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl struck down, hitting Xiao Bifang, who was knocked to the ground with a thud.
However, since Xiao Bifang had undergone body tempering, the tribulation lightning did not cause it much damage, and Xiao Bifang quickly got up on its own.
Looking at Bi Lian, who was extremely worried, Xiao Bi Fang shouted loudly, "Dad, don't worry, this lightning tribulation isn't too big, I'm fine."
As it spoke, it flapped its wings and flew in a low circle, demonstrating that it was truly unharmed.
Bi Lian was both amused and exasperated by what she saw, but she had to remind the somewhat arrogant little guy: "There are things prepared for you in the storage ring, take a good look at them."
Fortunately, the little guy still had some sense of propriety. After hearing its reminder, it stopped flying and instead started rummaging through the storage ring it mentioned, carefully checking what was inside.
After watching for a while, before the second lightning strike landed, it finally took out a piece of ore from inside and held it directly above itself, hoping that it could shield it from the tribulation.
Unexpectedly, this tribulation lightning was something that didn't follow any set pattern.
In a flash, it bypassed the ore and struck the little Bifang below, who thought he was safe and sound.
As expected, Xiao Bifang was struck down again and fell into the deep pit created by the lightning tribulation.
Caught off guard, it forgot to continue using its spiritual power to control the ore above. The ore lost its support and fell vertically, completely blocking the entrance to the pit.
Whether it was just his imagination or not, the little Bifang in the pit seemed to hear a cold snort and a faint voice saying, "Just tell me how big the lightning tribulation is."
Little Bifang wasn't stupid either. He immediately guessed that he had encountered a tribulation lightning entity that already had self-awareness. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It was just one sentence, how did it remember it?"
The implication is that this tribulation lightning is holding a grudge.
Okay, even the lightning bolt understood.
Then, the lightning bolt got angry and raised its voice several times: "I hold grudges, so what? I'll strike you down, you little brat."
Little Bifang rubbed his ears, which had almost been blown apart, and finally realized that he had really stirred up a hornet's nest, so he immediately slid to his knees.
"I was wrong, Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive me, please just pretend I just farted. I have elderly parents and young children to support, I can't die, please."
The tribulation lightning clearly wasn't buying it, coldly uttering two words: "Too late." After that, no matter how much Xiao Bifang begged for mercy, it gave no further response.
Little Bifang had no choice but to move the ore aside, crying, and climb out.
While stuffing pills into his mouth, he frantically stuck various talismans on his body, activated protective arrays around him, and surrounded himself with all sorts of hard and rare natural treasures.
Just as they finished surrounding the area, the third lightning bolt struck as expected, deliberately targeting any gaps or cracks, aiming to strike Xiao Bifang at least once, if not hit.
Little Bifang could only desperately grab things to block the gaps, preventing the lightning tribulation from having a chance to slip through.
In the ensuing tribulation, the Bifang and the tribulation forces were completely locked in a fierce battle.
One insisted on striking even when the path was winding, while the other leaped and dodged desperately, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dislocated.
Over here, Little Bifang is outwitting and outmaneuvering the lightning tribulation, while on the other side, beside the incubation pool, Lu Li is also outwitting and outmaneuvering a group of cubs.
Soon after Xiao Bifang left, a second cub, a little peacock with the bloodline of Kunpeng, was born.
The first thing the little peacock did upon waking up was the same as the little Bifang: spotting the millet and sweet potato, it excitedly pounced on her.
It was still at the last minute when Lu Li grabbed its little wing and threw it back into its mother's arms.
Then came the third, the fourth, and a continuous stream of little babies waking up.
As soon as one of them woke up, it pounced on the millet, leaving Lu Li utterly exhausted.
However, not all children need to undergo tribulation. Only a small number of children who have evolved significantly, crossed major realms, or improved their bloodline need to undergo tribulation.
As a result, the one who was about to undergo the tribulation was forcibly taken away.
Those that didn't need to undergo the tribulation of lightning refused to leave, waiting by the hatching pool, tirelessly rushing towards the millet again and again.
Lu Li could only throw it again and again, and finally simply created a barrier around the glutinous rice ball and dragged it behind him, determined not to let the little brats get close.
However, he underestimated the determination of his kids. Even after being thrown countless times, they still tried to get closer, and in the end, they even regarded Lu Li as their opponent, attempting to join forces to break through his defenses.
