BXBX NOVEL Chapter 404 - 252: Luohuang Cave Sky
“This Spirit Peach is truly delicious!”
On top of the fierce winds of the Cloud Sky, the young man lay on the Ghost Wolf, with the Xuan Cat on his shoulder, and amidst his breaths, there was a strong aroma of spirit fruit that wasn’t fading away.
However, after savoring it for a while, a hint of regret appeared on the boy’s face, because his elder brother only allowed him to eat as much as he picked, not allowing him to eat or take more.
Although he felt regretful, Feng Qing’an understood that the full tree of peaches, though seemingly vibrant, was the accumulation of hundreds of years. They bloom every hundred years and bear fruit every hundred years. Eating them all would disrupt the harmony of nature.
“You two got lucky.”
Feng Qing’an glanced at Jun Yan on his shoulder and at Black Mountain beside his foot. These two, following him, naturally would not miss the opportunity to treat their taste buds, also eating a few spirit peaches.
However, for these creatures with strong bloodline, eating this lifespan-extending spirit fruit is indeed a waste. Although the peaches can increase their lifespan, considering their already abundant lifespan, the addition was vastly insignificant.
Human cultivators, unless they transcend into saints, can’t really compete with the Demon Clan in terms of lifespan. As for comparing with those divine beasts of even ancient lineage, there is not even a need. They belong on par with immortals.
“The matters of the human world have been settled, it is time to enter the Underworld and unfold a grand plan.”
At midnight, when Yin and Yang change, at dusk, Feng Qing’an returned to the head of the village once more. The village at this time was engulfed in silence. After the darkness deepened, every household tightly closed their doors, and only a few lights flickered in the night, but soon these lights too extinguished.
Feng Qing’an stood at the entrance of the village, looking at it for a long time, until the crack of darkness was torn apart by a pair of slender hands. Only then he turned back and laughingly held the intoxicated young woman in his arms, and then walked into the foggy Yin Qi-filled chasm between the worlds, stepping foot into these obscure lands not belonging to the spirits.
“Youyou, we’re going home.”
“I’m here!”
The little phoenix flapped its wings and quickly landed in front of Feng Qing’an. But before it could manifest its true form, it noticed the Xuan cat on Feng Qing’an’s shoulder, staring at her with big round eyes.
“Eh!”
The tiny phoenix, the size of a palm, dragged its long tail feathers, flying around Feng Qing’an’s head, and then standing on his other vacant shoulder, stretching its neck to take a look at the Xuan cat staring at her with a tilted head.
“Feng Qing’an, where did you pick up this little tiger?”
As beings of the same sacred category, even though Youyou had fallen into the underworld, she immediately recognized the lineage of the little cat on Feng Qing’an’s shoulder.
To some extent, their experiences were exceedingly similar, and their origins incredibly alike. A phoenix is a symbol of prosperity and when it appears, it signifies the arrival of a peaceful and golden age.
But Youyou, who has fallen into the underworld, while possessing the nobility of a phoenix, no longer carried the peaceful and serene aura that it usually would. Her emergence represented disaster, not peace.
As for the little Xuan cat, Jun Yan, her identified species name was Heavenly Demon White Tiger, but according to Feng Qing’an, these names should be separated, as Heavenly Demon/White Tiger.
It was both a Heavenly Demon and of White Tiger bloodline, the latter being something even his elder brother regarded as dangerous, keeping it close to suppress its ferocity with righteous energy.
Feng Qing’an had communicated with this silly and cute little creature through a Soul Contract. Indeed, it had a White Tiger bloodline and its origins were extraordinary. Due to some peculiar reason, it was corrupted by the Heavenly Demon, and during this process, it broke through void space and ended up in the Nan Hua Continent.
What’s more coincidental, it landed near Gunzhou. Being possessed by a Heavenly Demon and having the malicious air inherent in a White Tiger’s bloodline, it naturally attracted the attention of the Governor of Gunzhou.
What happened afterward required no explanation. If it wasn’t for the fact that its ancestor had greatly contributed to the Human Race, and it was placed on the pedestal of divine beasts, it would have already been slain with one stroke.
But even so, it was disabled with one stroke, turning into a kitten that can only prolong its life by acting cute and naive. But even like this, the terrifying human did not let it go, raising it by his side, not allowing it to run around.
If it wasn’t for Feng Qing’an’s arrival, it would not even have the chance to get away from the Governor. In this little creature’s description, the Governor possesses the fearsome divine power akin to instant wish fulfillment. It had no power to resist.
Meow~
Both being of the same saintly category, one due to inborn factors, and the other due to an accident, the fallen creatures first stared at each other before the Xuan cat was the first to issue a “friendly” greeting.
Hearing this sweet meow, Feng Qing’an’s face immediately twitched. He hit the little creature’s head in annoyance. This creature was only obedient in front of his elder brother, after being controlled by Feng Qing’an a couple of times, it became more manageable. However, when facing other creatures, including Black Mountain, this creature was exceptionally “foul-mouthed”.
“Feng Qing’an, where did you pick up this wild cat? Immediately throw it away! Don’t bring it back to the Ghost Nation!”
Just as Feng Qing’an predicted, the moment little phoenix heard Jun Yan’s “friendly” greeting, it instantly puffed up its feathers. Even though they are both fallen divine beasts, it can’t “greet” back, it can only find Feng Qing’an.
“I don’t want this wild cat to get on me.”
“Alright, alright. I’ll throw it away.”
