Chapter 1686: Negotiate with the Bird
The bird didnât have a reason to live anymore.
Its master had betrayed it⌠Most importantly, it never thought that the man would treat it so terribly. He played tricks to make it take its guard down⌠He tortured it, forced it to tell him where its true body was⌠He obviously wanted to kill it both physically and mentally. When he failed, he actually wanted to swallow it!
They had been with each other for three thousand years, but what they had together meant nothing to him when there was a great profit to chase for!
The manâs fierce eyes, roaring words, cruel tortures, were vividly displayed in its eyes and resounding in its ears.
It was safe from troubles now, but it was still locked up. It knew that this must be a private place of the Xiao Monarch.
It seemed to the bird that the Xiao Monarch was just another greedy bastard. After all, there were rumors about the One Meter Higher Sky!
âIt seems he is nice to me, giving me all these medicinal materials, but he is no different. He just wants to know where my true body is. Sooner or later, I will be boiled and eaten by the man. Why should I bother curing myself anyway?â
âWhat scares me⌠The spiritual qi he gave me⌠That is extraordinaryâŚâ
âI know what I am. I am always a medicinal plant. No matter how powerful the medicine is, it doesnât work well on me. That shiny spiritual dan bead must be some kind of extremely high-level medicine. What a shame! It didnât work so well for me!â
Suddenly, the bird, Bab, realized that it was fully recovered from its wounds. Its broken legs was fixed after only a short timeâŚ
âWhat kind of mysterious martial art is the young man cultivating? Why is it so magnificent? That is amazing! I really wanted more of that spiritual qi!â
As the bird thought about this, it felt much better. It slowly stood up and looked around the place with curiosity and confusion.
âMaster has a storage space too, but⌠this one is differentâŚâ
âWhy is this place so spacious?â
âIs this a private Divine Space?â
âNo⌠It canât be. He would take good care of this place⌠This place is raw⌠There should at least be some spiritual qi.â
A voice sounded behind the bird. âThey call you Bab?â
Bab was frightened. It turned around and saw Ye Xiao, who showed up quietly and already sat down behind it.
The place should be empty, but now there was a chair, where Ye Xiao was sitting on.
Ye Xiao was looking at Bab on the chair, casually and lazilyâŚ
âChirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, coo⌠cooâŚâ Bab stared at Ye Xiao angrily.
âWhy are you angry?â Ye Xiao smiled and looked at the bird. âI think you should be grateful.â
The bird got emotional. Its wings were like two fingers, pointing at Ye Xiao and chirping.
âI know. You can understand me.â Ye Xiao rubbed his chin and said in a low voice, âSo, what I am going to do is talk to you.
âAfter that, you can make your own decision.â
Ye Xiao finished talking. The bird stared at Ye Xiao with its dark rolling eyes. It seemed to consider his suggestion for a while and then eventually nodded to agree. It sat on the floor and let Ye Xiao start talking.
Ye Xiao was sitting, so the bird sat down as well. It couldnât be weaker. There was nothing it could lose anyway.
However, a bird, sitting on the floor like a man⌠Was that right?
Ye Xiao nearly laughed out loud.
âYou are a precious treasure for any high-level cultivator. It brings great benefits to put you in full use. Fang Wudi was a good example. If he didnât have you around, he would never have reached such a high level.â Ye Xiao said, âSo⌠I could have swallowed you now⌠That should be understandable. It doesnât make a big difference even if I donât have your true body. I am satisfied to have you now.â
As Ye Xiao said so, the bird felt a chill in its heart. It got nervous, and it didnât dare point at Ye Xiao with its two wings anymore. Its head was low, and it kept chirping. Nobody knew what it was sayingâŚ
Obviously, Ye Xiao was telling the truth. Ten birds in the forest meant less than one bird in the hand. Ye Xiao was only at level seven in Saint Origin Stage. If he swallowed the bird, he would very possibly reach the Immortality Stage. It was a great improvement for a cultivator. That should be enough for Ye Xiao if he wasnât so ambitious!
âHowever, I donât want to eat you. I never do!â
Ye Xiao surprised the bird. The bird stared at him with a tilted head.
âIs he⌠being honest? He isnât lying, is he? Does he do this to make me tell him where my true body is? After that, he will boil me with my true body, wonât he? Thatâs it!â
âDonât. If I want to eat you, you should have been stewed now.â Ye Xiao seriously said, âItâs better to make you a stew than swallow you alive.â
The bird trembled. It thought of itself being stewed, and that frightened it.
Fang Wudi had thought of this too, but he didnât say it before he lost his temper and tried to swallow the bird. It didnât frighten the bird as much as Ye Xiaoâs words.
âBut I canât free you.â Ye Xiao frowned and said, âYou should know that as an animal, you are a level-seven spiritual beast. People are crazy for a spiritual beast like you even though they donât know what you actually are. Fang Wudi canât protect you now, can he? What if you are captured, it may lead me to the end of my life as well.â

The bird started chirping.
It was saying, âI wonât be captured! I am fast enough. I am cautious enough. I have profound views⌠I am cunning and smart⌠You can trust me. Just let me go now.â
Ye Xiao humphed and said, âAre you really as fast as you think? Are you faster than my cat? Are you really that cautious and smart? How did Fang Wudi fool you? Do you really have profound views? How come I donât see it? You are being ridiculous. You canât fool me. How can I trust you on this? If you canât get caught, how come you are here?â
The bird kept its head low, âChirp, chirp, chirpâŚâ
