Chapter 452 March
After washing up, Bai Ningbing walked downstairs and saw Shang Xinci squatting in front of October's cat bed. She instantly appeared next to Shang Xinci and also witnessed this scene.
"This is... Phoenix?"
Shang Xinci nodded. Both demon kings of the demon realm felt a faint sense of bloodline suppression emanating from the little red bird.
The distinction between noble and lowly bloodlines is an insurmountable obstacle, much like how some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
"When did it come out?" Bai Ningbing stretched out her jade fingers and rubbed the little belly that Xiaohuang was showing while sleeping peacefully.
Shang Xinci put October and the little bird into the cat's nest and covered them with a small blanket.
"It must have been last night, when we were asleep."
Shang Xinci had some sense of it, but being held in Chi Miaomiao's arms while sleeping was so comfortable that she slept soundly and didn't wake up to check on her.
After settling Shiyue and Honghuang in, Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci headed to the kitchen. Bai Ningbing was still bragging to Baozi about winning the right to use the second-floor bathroom today.
Shang Xinci retorted, "Childish, a little demon is just a little demon."
Bai Ningbing didn't care about this at all.
"You old monster, how dare you talk to me like that?"
The two women bickered as they cooked. Fan Qianning and Xie Huai'an came into the house after finishing their cultivation in the front yard. They stood by the dining table and watched Bai Ningbing and Xie Huai'an bicker. The two sisters covered their mouths and chuckled.
The twin sisters have been staying at Yanluo's house for two days now and are quite close to everyone. Tu Yier really likes her two older sisters, making the house even more lively.
Seeing Fan Qianning and Xie Huai'an standing by the dining table, Bai Ningbing stopped bickering with Shang Xinci. She smiled and said to the two of them, "Ningning and An'an, go wash up. We'll be able to eat soon. How about egg sandwiches for breakfast?"
Xie Huai'an moved closer to Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci, and said with a grin, "We love anything that either of you sisters makes."
Bai Ningbing likes people with sweet words, and she also likes Tu Keke and Chi Miaomiao very much.
The twin sisters went to wash up. Bai Ningbing knew that the girls wouldn't be able to get up for the time being, so she and Shang Xinci made five servings.
Just as Bai Ningbing thought, the three older sisters, Tu Luoxue, had a late-night chat last night, Tu Keke and the other two stayed up until 5 a.m. watching anime, Su Qing and Chi Miaomiao simply stayed in bed, and Tu Yier wouldn't wake up until a certain time.
The fifth breakfast was made for Shao Shenyun. Shao Shenyun was also used to waking up early. When she came downstairs after washing up, Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci had just finished making sandwiches.
While eating a sandwich, Shao Shenyun's phone rang. She took it out to check and found it was an unfamiliar number without a note. Chi Miaomiao had already saved all of Shao Shenyun's family members' phone numbers in her contacts.
Upon answering the phone, Shao Shenyun heard Zhang Bichen's voice.
"Good morning, Ms. Shao. Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I'm eating. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhang Bichen didn't beat around the bush and said that there was another corpse demon who needed Shao Shenyun's formation.
Shao Shenyun put the phone on speakerphone and heard Zhang Bichen's voice. Fan Qianning and Xie Huai'an also greeted her. Shao Shenyun agreed, and Zhang Bichen said they would come over, so it wouldn't be troublesome for Shao Shenyun to make a special trip.
After saying goodbye to her uncle, Tu Yier woke up to find herself alone in the room. As always, she hugged her rabbit doll, climbed out of bed, straightened her torn nightgown, and left the room.
Shang Xinci hung the washed clothes on the clothesline on the balcony. Previously, Yanluo had been doing these chores.
Seeing that Tu Yier was awake, Bai Ningbing went over and picked her up. Tu Yier greeted her with a smile.
Good morning, Aunt Fox.
Bai Ningbing responded with a smile, smoothed Tu Yier's messy hair, and then Tu Yier greeted Shao Shenyun and Shang Xinci on the balcony before obediently following Bai Ningbing to the bathroom to wash up.
Just as Bai Ningbing was applying lotion to Tu Yier's face, she heard a loud, angry meow and a clear, angry cry of a phoenix through the bathroom door.
Tu Yier immediately rushed out the door. October was her good friend, and the kitten was usually gentle. Something must have happened for it to be meowing like that.
The little guy ran downstairs and saw October fighting with a little red bird in the cat's nest. The two were cleverly attacking each other with their claws, just like girls fighting.
Tu Yier shouted at the two fighting animals, "Stop fighting!"
The sound startled the two little animals. When October saw Tu Yier with her hands on her hips, she immediately ran over and rubbed against Tu Yier's feet.
The red phoenix saw Tu Yier and flapped its wings to fly towards her, circling around her.
Tu Yier looked very angry, her little face full of serious expression. She looked at Shiyue and then at the little bird with dissatisfaction.
"You two, stand in a straight line!"
The two little animals stood obediently in front of Tu Yier, looking completely different from how they had been frantically targeting each other just moments before.
Tu Yier nodded in satisfaction.
"Stand at attention!"
October and the little bird both stood up straight, ramrod straight.
Bai Ningbing and the others stood by the second-floor railing, looking down at the scene below. Tu Yier pointed at the two small animals and said angrily, "Kids aren't allowed to fight, you know? You're not allowed to fight. If you dare to fight again, I'll get my uncle to deal with you."
After scolding the little red bird, Tu Yier picked it up and blinked her bright eyes. Looking at the red phoenix with surprise, she said, "Little bird in the box, you've come out!"
"Welcome to my home. My name is Tu Yier. Do you have a name?"
The little bird shook its head in a human-like manner, and Tu Yier picked it up and placed it on her shoulder, and then picked up October.
“You don’t have a name? Well, just like October, I’ll give you one.”
Seeing the little bird nod, Tu Yier turned and walked upstairs, saying as she went, "October came to our family last October, so I named her October."
"Today is the second day of March, so how about you call yourself March? You'll take my uncle's surname, and your full name will be Yan Sanyue!"
Honghuang seemed to really like the name; she happily called it twice in Tu Yier's ear.
"You two must get along well from now on and not fight. We are a family, so we can't fight or quarrel."
When they finished speaking, Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci both felt that Tu Yier was watching them. They exchanged a glance, snorted, and turned their heads away.
October and March exchanged a glance, and when their eyes met, both little animals saw the disdain in each other.
The two little ones still need to develop a better relationship.
Shao Shenyun stared at March for a while, then reached out her hand, and March flew from Tu Yier's shoulder into her palm.
"Interesting. Yanluo has even managed to bring the offspring of the phoenix into the world today."
Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci blinked; they understood the hidden meaning in Shao Shenyun's words.
Yanluo must have something extraordinary about her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to bring back both them and March.
