Chapter 1 Enlightenment
When Li Xiaorong opened her eyes again, her face had turned green.
Of course, if she could also have a smooth, featherless face.
When her mind was still clear and her eyes were still closed, she felt that she had just accidentally had a good night's sleep.
He thought to himself, "Oh dear, I shouldn't have slept. I should have held on a little longer and sent out the proposal I've been working on for two nights."
"Sleeping for so long now, the boss must be furious. My year-end bonus is probably in jeopardy."
However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately felt confused again.
She looked at the chirping baby birds around her, about the same size as her, and wanted to tap them with her hand, but she couldn't get the hand out.
Turning my head 180 degrees, I saw that the position of my hands had turned into fluffy little wings that were fluttering.
She looked down at her feet again.
Alright, from now on we can't call them feet anymore, we have to call them claws;
When she looked ahead again, the almost 360-degree panoramic view left Li Xiaorong, who had once been human, stunned.
Suddenly, her legs went weak, and she plopped down in the nest.
Look, what's in the middle of her new vision?
It's a beak! A beak that's a pale yellow with a hint of red!
But at this moment, Li Xiaorong's pitifully small brain capacity couldn't comprehend why she had become a different species after waking up from a nap.
She clearly remembers that she is a human being!
But as soon as he thought about it, Li Xiaorong's little head was like a basin that was almost full of water but was still being filled with water, and the contents were about to overflow at any moment.
At this moment, a large, gray bird, about ten feet long, turned its head to look at Li Xiaorong and pecked at her head.
Li Xiaorong stood up unsteadily, looking at the large bird in front of her with a sense of familiarity. She thought to herself, "She is my mother."
Thinking this way, she put the fact that she was no longer human back to her mind.
She instinctively opened her mouth wide and chirped along with the other chicks.
As soon as they called, another magnificent bird of similar size flew over; this bird landed in front of the nest, and it fed insects to whoever called the loudest.
A sentence flashed through Li Xiaorong's mind: "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."
So she immediately opened her mouth wide and shouted even louder.
Sure enough, as soon as she shouted, food appeared.
After feeding, the beautiful big bird in front of the nest suddenly noticed that Li Xiaorong had stretched out her neck, was breathing rapidly, and was kicking her legs wildly, looking like she was about to be stuffed to death.
He quickly grabbed Li Xiaorong's leg and swung it from side to side, causing Li Xiaorong to vomit several large worms before she could catch her breath.
A gray bird flew by and picked up the few spirit insects in mid-air.
She carefully observed the chicks in the nest and fed the insects to two chicks that clearly hadn't had enough to eat.
She waited by the side, and when her bird husband put Li Xiaorong down, she opened her sharp beak and started pecking at the beautiful bird.
From then on, the task of feeding the chicks, including Li Xiaorong, five times a day was taken over by the mother bird.
From then on, no matter how loudly Li Xiaorong cried, the mother bird would only feed her four or five large insects.
As a result, Li Xiaorong was never able to eat her fill again.
But occasionally, when she squawks particularly loudly, her father will secretly feed her two birds.
Six months later, Li Xiaorong and her siblings were sleeping soundly in their nest. The father bird brought some warm, five-colored stones and placed them on the outside of the nest, while the mother bird picked out the faded spirit stones from the inside and filled the gaps with the ones brought by the father bird.
Li Xiaorong watched with great interest, when suddenly she heard the bird parents' chirping no longer just simple chirping; she understood.
After finishing expelling the marrow stones, Bird Dad looked up and saw Li Xiaorong staring blankly at him. He immediately reacted instinctively, picked up Li Xiaorong's leg and shook it vigorously.
The shaking caused Li Xiaorong to have a concussion and scream incessantly.
Fortunately, the mother bird noticed after only a few shakes.
She snatched Li Xiaorong away and put her back in her nest.
Li Xiaorong lay flat in the middle of the nest, watching the mother bird leap up from the tree and grab the father bird's red crest with one claw, slamming it against the branch.
Li Xiaorong was stunned and exclaimed, "Amazing!"
The sound wasn't loud, but the bird parents suddenly lowered their heads and stared at her, clearly they had heard it.
The other babies woke up one after another, opening their mouths wide and chattering excitedly.
In the past, Li Xiaorong was always the most proactive at this time, always calling out at the forefront.
Today, however, it was her brothers and sisters who called out first, and only then did she remember that it was time to eat. She quickly opened her mouth wide and joined in the calling.
The mother bird gestured to the father bird to move Li Xiaorong a little further out of the nest, gave her a few large crickets separately, and then began to feed the other chicks.
After feeding her, the mother bird looked at Li Xiaorong and said confidently, "Little one, you can talk now!"
Li Xiaorong squeezed herself into the nest.
In the past few months, she and her siblings have grown a lot, and their large nest is almost too big for them to fit in.
Li Xiaorong replied softly, "I don't know."
The mother bird's gaze softened instantly. She lovingly pressed Li Xiaorong against her chest with her beak and laughed loudly, "Haha, damn it! My little one is already smart at one year old. Let's see who dares to laugh at me, Ji Erchun, in the future."
The bird father, standing to the side, nodded his beautiful head with pride and said, "As expected, my cousin did not lie to Qing Shi. This top-grade spiritual liquid from the Golden Summit of Kunlun can indeed make birds smarter."
When Bird Mother Ji Er heard Bird Father Qing Shi say this, she was furious. She pecked Qing Shi on the forehead and shouted, "I shouldn't have married you for the sake of bloodline!"
"That shameless slut Qingjian, she'll even cheat a fool out of his things, she's no good!"
Watching Ji Erbian frantically pound the bluestone like a pile driver, his mouth constantly churning out words, Li Xiaorong couldn't help but sigh that being uncultured was vulgar, and she also realized the ethnicity of her parents.
Don't ask why she can remember things now, or why she doesn't have a headache anymore, and don't even look at how much this guy has grown lately.
Thanks to Qing Shi's feeding, looking around, Li Xiaorong took up almost half of the huge nest; her six other siblings combined were barely two and a half times her size.
As a result, Li Xiaorong's brain naturally grew, and her memory improved considerably.
But Li Xiaorong didn't know that if it weren't for the fact that she looked most like Qing Shi, she would have been pushed off the tree by Ji Er and fed to jackals and tigers long ago.
During this period, every day, Ji Er would keep an eye on every Hu bird that flew past him while cursing in his heart.
This is because the Hu bird is large and lazy, and it likes to place its eggs in the nests of birds with low cultivation and low intelligence. It only checks on them every few days, and when it sees an intelligent one, it snatches it away. It is extremely barbaric!
Therefore, if Li Xiaorong resembles them even slightly, Ji Er will push her away and leave her to fend for herself.
After all, Ji Er has given birth to so many litters, and she has never seen a cub as strong as Li Xiaorong in her entire life.
——————
Ji Er is a colorful chicken that has developed intelligence, but whose bloodline is extremely mixed.
Before she was enlightened, Ji Er and her parents and siblings lived on Jiming Mountain, but they were not the masters of Jiming Mountain. Jiming Mountain was the territory of Huang Pinjie, the five-tailed yellow fox of the Fire Fox Clan.
Huang Pinjie was originally a wild fox spirit. By chance, she obtained a top-grade spiritual medicine and swallowed it whole.
After taking the medicine, she was in pain for nine days and nine nights, all the hair on her body fell out, and blood covered her entire body;
The medicinal energy opened up her spiritual meridians, allowing her to perfectly expel the impurities that had blocked her body, and she successfully gained enlightenment.
She was incredibly lucky; throughout the entire ordeal, not a single wild animal that passed by tried to harm her.
After Huang Pinjie was fortunate enough to gain intelligence, it was as if he had a cheat code. He cultivated to become a five-tailed fox in less than three hundred years.
But for some unknown reason, the Fire Fox Clan suddenly assigned the Chicken Cry Mountain, which had little spiritual energy, to her.
Seeing that the mountain was abundant with colorful chickens, she allowed her fox offspring to hunt and eat them.
Ji Er was born in such a mountain.
At first, like the other unintelligent creatures in the mountains, she spent her days hiding from predators and struggling to find food and drink.
Like her sisters, Ji Er gave birth to litter after litter; barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should have followed in the footsteps of her ancestors and been devoured by foxes when she grew too old to continue.
However, fate was incredibly kind to her.
A monkey boy from Tianxu Palace, carrying a gourd, was riding a crane past this place when he accidentally drove the crane into a tree. A handful of elixirs spilled out of the gourd on the boy's back and scattered on the ground. Ji Er was lucky enough to peck at one of them.
All other beings who had consumed the elixir, without exception, were killed on the spot by the boy to obtain the pill. Only Ji Er escaped faster and bumped into Huang Pinjie's arms.
Upon seeing this, Huang Pinjie immediately transformed into a half-beast.
She pinned Ji Er down with her claws and slashed out five tails at the boy with a "whoosh".
She grinned and roared, as if she would explode her inner core if the monkey boy dared to come forward.
The monkey boy was only at the Profound Spirit Realm. Seeing Huang Pinjie's fierce expression, he immediately shouted, "Sister Fox, please wait! I'll leave right away and won't disturb your peace."
Before he could finish speaking, the monkey wrapped one paw around the gourd and used the other paw to drive the crane away.
So Ji Er was taken back to the cave by Huang Pinjie and stayed there.
On the fifth day, Huang Pinjie saw that Ji Er had turned into a blood clot and was about to die.
She decided to try anything, even a dead bird, and fed Ji Er a strange pill, which saved his life.
The name Ji Er was given to us by Huang Pinjie. She said, "Since we are like wild beasts who have become spirits, let's call each other Ji Er. It's easy to remember."
