Chapter 42 The Mongrel Chicken Haha!
[Lan Yue: Look at those familiar patterns, those tiny, charcoal-black feathers, it's definitely him! Sure enough, no matter where they are, no matter the time or place, the male and female leads are destined to meet!]
Lan Yue's description shocked the others. The legendary male protagonist actually had feathers? Then wasn't he a demon?
A demon has suddenly appeared in the Southern Spirit Sect—this is a major event!
It's not that the demons are unpopular, but rather that the demons have very little contact with the human race. Most of the demons are in the Eastern Region, and very few demons come here on their own.
Where are the people, oh no, where are the demons?
Li Bai was shocked, and he remained vigilant for a moment.
This demon race member, capable of passing through the Southern Spirit Sect's formation and tearing through the protective formation of Spirit Moon Peak, might just be a powerful demon with a history of ten thousand years.
These ancient demons usually have bad tempers. If they hear Lan Yue's thoughts, wouldn't they be furious?
Although they are protected by the celestial artifact, what if? What if this great demon has some special ability and steals the celestial artifact? Wouldn't they all be doomed?
Li Bai felt that he was really worried sick; being the senior brother was no easy task!
If the other senior brothers hadn't been busy with their own things, how could the title of senior brother have fallen to him?
Li Bai wanted to cry but had no tears.
Amidst the bewildered looks of the crowd, Lan Yue nearly burst out laughing.
[Lan Yue: So this is how the male and female leads met beforehand! If it weren't for the plot, everyone would probably have ignored this "spoiled chicken," right?]
Mixed-breed chicken?
Li Bai's pupils contracted, and he looked in Yun Xi's direction in shock, only to find that Yun Xi was holding a lump of black and yellow stuff, and he was equally shocked.
Upon closer inspection, this small, blackish-yellow creature does indeed resemble a scrawny chicken. If it were to fall to the ground, someone might mistake it for a weed.
Yunxi pursed her lips and held up the little dumpling in her hand: "I think I found a... no, no, I found a chick!"
She almost followed Lan Yue's lead and called the thing in her hand a "scraggly chicken," but luckily she reacted in time.
Lan Yue then pretended to walk over, flipped the little thing's eyelids, slapped its bottom twice, and then coughed.
"Yunxi, this spirit beast is destined for you, so you should keep it. It might become an asset in the future."
Lan Yue's words sounded very dignified; if she hadn't secretly patted him twice just now, it would have been perfect.
[Lan Yue: Hmph, I've finally got my chance, haven't I? In the original story, I was sent by you to deliver messages to you and others, and ended up dying a horrible death at the hands of demons. Now I've finally found a chance to beat you up!]
The three people next to him: "..."
Yunxi was both amused and exasperated. Compared to the male lead, whom she had barely met, she still preferred to protect Lanyue.
This person actually sent Junior Sister Lanyue to her death, should we get rid of him? She doesn't need any destined male lead.
At that moment, Yunxi truly had the intention to kill.
The poor, unconscious male protagonist was unaware that not only had his wife been kidnapped, but someone also wanted to take his head.
Otherwise, he would definitely jump up in anger.
"Chirp?" On the other side, the rootless fruit tree sapling appeared out of nowhere, holding a wooden stick, and curiously poked the unconscious little ball.
"Xiao Guo, you absolutely mustn't mess with this guy, or you'll end up bald." Lan Yue was afraid that this guy would do something terrible again, so she quickly picked him up and brought him back.
She was already on tenterhooks after secretly taking her revenge, fearing that Yunxi would tell on her and she would be doomed.
Lan Yue herself was so afraid, let alone a spirit fruit seedling that knew nothing and had just begun to develop intelligence.
Seeing the other two looking over curiously, Lan Yue inwardly cried out in alarm. She had actually revealed some things ahead of time, wouldn't that ruin the plot?
"Actually, I just used divination and discovered that it has great potential. It might become a powerful spirit beast in the future, which is why I said that." Lan Yue took out the tortoise shell her master had given her and muttered a few words in a mysterious tone.
The others nodded in agreement.
Anyway, everything was determined by divination; they understand it, they understand it very well!
"Why don't we dig a house for Erdan first? He's getting impatient," Yunxi suggested to the others, subtly placing the dumpling in her hand on the ground.
"Yes, dig up the house!" Yuan Shuo clenched his fists tightly behind him.
After saying that, they seriously picked up their shovels and started hammering and banging away.
Only Lan Yue watched from behind, dumbfounded.
[Lan Yue: That's not right. I remember when the female lead encountered the seriously injured male lead before, she took very careful care of him, afraid that he would get cold or hungry. She even made the house herself, which was very exquisite.]
Why are we just leaving it on the ground to fend for itself?
Yunxi, sitting opposite her, froze, and awkwardly straightened her hair.
"Why don't we give it a few spirit stones? It'll have an energy boost and wake up soon," Lan Yue suggested.
[Lan Yue: No matter what, we still need a male lead. His abilities are just too useful! He's incredibly convenient when saving people. Otherwise, Nü'e, you should probably take a few more glances at him!]
Yunxi, who was opposite, seemed to have thought of something. She took the black, fluffy ball of fur over and placed a few low-level spirit stones next to it.
And then, that was it.
Lan Yue: "..."
Forget it, who says the male and female protagonists in the original work have to be together? This is just a fan fiction!
My daughter is very beautiful herself!
…
They dug all morning, and the group of spirit turtles were overjoyed, even bringing them a lot of lively spirit fish.
Looking at the familiar spirit fish, Lan Yue's eyes twitched, fearing that the Second Elder would jump out at any moment and shout that he would die!
However, she didn't want to ruin such a beautiful scene, for fear of hurting the young spirit turtles' feelings.
Sigh, she really endured so much all by herself!
Lan Yue sighed deeply. She tugged at Xiao Guo's short legs and decided to send the Second Elder more leaves from the rootless fruit tree saplings.
"Chirp?" Little Fruit glanced at her and chirped in surprise.
It tugged at Lan Yue's finger, showing her the top of its head.
Lan Yue blurted out without any hesitation, "Extremely lush, you are the most beautiful spiritual plant!"
Xiao Guo was overjoyed and even swung on her shoulders like a swing.
Li Bai: "..."
What utter self-deception!
Unable to bear it any longer, he had no choice but to speak up: "How about we go to the Four Arts Hall next? Senior Sister Qingzhu asked me about you yesterday."
"Oh right, I forgot about Senior Sister Qingzhu!" Lan Yue exclaimed in surprise.
A few days ago she said she would make a choice soon and would definitely look for Senior Sister Qingzhu then, but she has completely forgotten about her!
"Let's go, let's go to the Four Arts Hall!" Lan Yue climbed onto Er Dan's back and was about to leave in a hurry.
Li Bai, who had just made the suggestion, seemed a little worried: "How about I stay and keep Yuan Shuo company? He just came from the Four Arts Hall, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, I'll go too!" Yuan Shuo's snow-white ears twitched, and as soon as he heard that he would be left behind, he immediately raised his hand.
He doesn't want to be left behind!
"Alright, let's all set off then!"
"Chirp!"
Once everyone was standing on the spirit sword, Yunxi belatedly remembered the black, fluffy ball on the ground. She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately hung it around her waist.
