The peacock didn't cry or struggle. In fact, when Yan Xiaobao turned to leave, it almost seemed expectant, even curiously watching him, as if hoping he would take it away again.
Sounding quite serious, Yan Xiaobao said, "A bit of your life essence with the ancestor's awakened blood won't harm you. But too much won't be good. Be a good little peacock, okay? Oh... don't tell your master about me, okay?" Just like that, he walked away.
That night, Yan Xiaobao worked very hard. After returning from the green python, he had the white monkey and night leopard to deal with. The entire incident left him very exhausted. However, when he thought about how satisfied the animals looked, and how they clearly didn't want to leave the flowers, he knew he did a good job.
Most importantly, the Beastbirth Flower seemed stronger and healthier than ever.
