After this beating, Little Black didnât appear in the sect for a whole month. Yu Hong seemed very angry indeed, such that every time Little Black wanted to creep back secretly, sheâd find out and throw him out without mercy. She didnât even have a good face for other members of the demonic clan with whom she was usually in contact.
Lonemoon finally became a bit more free. He had originally thought that heâd have to give this newly wed couple a wedding leave. From the look of it now, he neednât worry about that anymore. Yet though the matters of the sect was solved, something else came up.
âWhatâs this?â Shen Ying poked the huge colorful bird on the table.
âHong Meng sent it. He said that this was the first phoenix that appeared in their plane.â Lonemoon explained casually.
âPhoenix?â Shen Ying turned instantly towards Chef.
âItâs just a similarity in appearance.â Yi Qing glanced at the bird on the table. âThis is a beast without spirit.â A large bird at most.
âOh.â Shen Yingâs eyes narrowed. âWhatâs it for?â
âHe heard that he had some special abilities. Hong Meng specially sent it to you to thank you for the last time.â
âFor me?â Is it a meal?
âHmm.â nodded Lonemoon. Ever since sending Hong Mengâs group to their plane, they would send over gifts from time to time. Just that their plane was only recently opened and there was really nothing special. This was the first time that they saw a living thing. âBut he also didnât elaborate on what this bird was exactly good for.â
When they were thinking, the bird on the table suddenly fluttered her wings and flew up, making a crisp cockle. She flew one round in the audience hall, and white light started shining all over her body. In the next moment, her long tail waved and a white light flashed. Something dropped from the sky and fell right on the table with a bang. Instantly, a crack appeared on the table surface.
They looked down, and an object, crystal clear, the size of a fist, appeared on the table. Bright light shone in it and Immortal Qi overflowed from it.
âA spirit stone!â Lonemoon was shocked. Taking up the stone for a look, he realized that it was supreme-grade spirit stone besides. âThis bird can actually produce spirit stones!â
Even Yi Qing looked at the bird which already flew down with some shock. This was simply a moving spirit stone library. With it in the sect, they would never need to worry about the lack of spirit stone. Though of course, they had no lack of it now.
âHong Meng is generous indeed!â Satisfactorily, Lonemoon touched the bird which laid back on the table. He smiled like a bank-owner. âEven for such a precious bird, he sent it straight over.â Hmm, he was a sensible god.
âWow.â Shen Ying pulled the birdâs hair curiously. âSo⌠can it be eaten?â
âIs there anything in your brain besides eating?â Lonemoon rolled his eyes at her, and then he hugged that bird and said, âThis is a spirit stone-producing bird! How can it be eaten casually?â
âCanât a stone-producing one be eaten?â The meat smelled sweet indeed.
âYou are wasting! Of course we have to keep it to get spirit stones first. What a pity it is to eat it like this! In any case, youâve already eaten six meals today!â
âSixâŚâ Was there so many? Shen Ying stunned briefly, and she looked at the bird in his hands. But it looked really delicious indeed!
âIs it so important to have spirit stones?â
âNonsense. Without spirit stones, what are you gonna eat and drink?â Lonemoon was seriously dispelling her desire to eat. âThese are supreme-grade spirit stones, and the immortal qi in it was the purest. It will be very beneficial if disciples of the sect directly absorb the immortal qi from it during cultivation. In the worst case, they could be exchanged for something else.â
âLike thatâŚâ Shen Yingâs eyes narrowed and something flashed in her eyes. She said slowly, âBut isnât this stone produced from that birdâs⌠butt? To take what it produced from there and absorb it again⌠isnât it a bit unsanitary?
âAnd also, youâre using what it produced to exchange for food and drinks, thenâŚâ
âShut up!â Lonemoonâs face was almost turning green. If she continued further, he was going to puke. Why a proper thing changes its taste completely when spoken from her mouth. âThere, there!â He stuffed the bird into her hands directly. âFor your additional dish. Happy?â Is it worth being like this for a mouthful of food?
âChef!â Shen Ying was overjoyed, and she turned to stuff the bird to into Yi Qingâs hand, âChili chicken, the super spicy kind!â
âYes Master, no problem Master!â
Lonemoon: ââŚâ F*cking retards.
âEh? Father Niu, where are you going?â
âTo, wash, my, hands!â He suddenly felt that his hands smelled like bird sh*t!
Only then did Shen Ying straighten up her body, and on a rare occasion, took the initiative to set up the plates. One hand holding a pair of chopsticks, she waited for her meal, looking like a hungry ghost.
The corner of Lonemoonâs mouth twitched. He was too lazy to bother with this foodie. He threw away the spirit stones in her hand and turned to the kitchen to wash his hands. At that time, a dead bird was already lying on the chopping board. He felt a stuffiness in his chest. His heart was so painful. My cash-printing machine!
He withdrew his look in silence, sped up the washing of hands, and then walked out. What somebody doesnât see canât hurt them.
When he went out, Shen Ying still maintained the previous posture. Only that her eyes narrowed, and she no longer had the energetic look from just now.
âFoodie Shen.â Lonemoon waved, and seeing that she didnât respond, he couldnât help but gave her a push. âThe sunâs not down yet, how are you already sleepy? Not eating the bird anymore?â
Shen Ying turned to give her a look, and her eyes were misty. She looked as though she only heard his words after a long while. âAh⌠Not eating any more.â
âHoly sh*t! Why didnât you say earlier?â Even its feathers were all plucked. âYou purposely⌠Hey, are you okay?â Lonemoon only just realized something was wrong with her. âWhatâs up? Why are you like this? What happened?â
âFather Niu⌠Let me discuss something with you!â
Her look became even more blur, as if she was going to drift into sleep the next moment. âI might⌠need to hibernate for a while.â
âWhat hibernate? Thereâs no winter in the sky palace! What⌠is really wrong with you?â Lonemoon panicked. Suddenly thinking of something, his heart tightened. âWas it because of opening the plane last time? Did youâŚâ
âOnly a bit sleepy and want to sleep.â Shen Ying tilted her head, not giving a direct answer. âJust that⌠it will be a rather long sleep.â
His heart sank suddenly. âHow long?!â
âHmm⌠pretty long!â
Lonemoonâs hands tightened beside his body. He took a deep breath, before he could suppress the emotions in the bottom of his heart. He said word by word, âIâll just ask you one thing. Tell me honestly, nothing will happen to you, right?â
Shen Ying was stunned for a moment. After a long while, she nodded hard. âOf course!â
âOkay⌠Thatâs good.â
She suddenly clicked on her wristband, drew out a light screen and did some manipulation lazily. âDuring this period, I will seal all the plane passages. Donât open them under any circumstances. AndâŚâ She stopped halfway and her tone changed. âSave that bird for me. Iâll eat it after I wake up!â
âHow does the bird still matter now?â Lonemoon grew even more anxious. âTell me first, what can we do to helpâŚâ He struggled to calm down, and then turned towards the kitchen and called out, âChef⌠Chef!â
Yi Qing happened to be walking out of the kitchen. âItâll be ready in a minute. Master, IâŚâ Yet Shen Ying looked that she finally couldnât keep up anymore. She directly fell over to the side.
With a bang, the dish which she held in her hand fell over the floor.
The color on her face faded completely, and it became pale as snowâŚ
