Yan Guang had not lied!
He had indeed gone to catch spiritual ducks!
And he had caught many!
"Your Majesty, I know that Brother Chen Nan has been kind to our avian race, but making him a strategist, isn't that too grand?" Tu An followed behind Yan Guang, his eyes full of curiosity!
Yan Guang replied, "Is it? I feel he has the ability to become the strategist of our avian race!"
Tu An frowned, "Do you know something?"
Yan Guang looked towards the vast depths of the Nine Heavens, "When one person attains the Tao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"
Tu An gasped, "Does he truly have a chance to become a saint?"
"Even if he doesn't, he is still an benefactor to our avian race. With his strategy, becoming our avian race's strategist is well-deserved!" Yan Guang did not wish to discuss it further!

"Senior Yang Xun, do you think the avian chaos in the avian race has truly been resolved?" In a luxuriously decorated room, Fan Qian stood by the window, his expression complex!
He had intended to alleviate the avian chaos in the avian race with an ancient medicinal formula, but upon arriving, he found many people living carefree lives!
"Third Young Master, what we are seeing is likely an illusion!" Yang Xun spoke, "If I am not mistaken, many members of the avian race are infected with avian chaos, but the Peng Emperor does not want us to know!"
"To put it bluntly, he does not want to owe us such a great favor!"
A cold glint flashed in Fan Qian's eyes, "If that is the case, then the avian race will definitely contact us again, demanding the ancient medicinal formula we possess!"
Yang Xun chuckled, "The avian race has the smallest brain capacity among all races. Their little tricks cannot escape this old man's eyes!"
"One cannot say that!" Another elder named You Wang spoke, "The Peng Emperor is the leader of the avian race, and his strategy is quite strong. If I am not mistaken, he should have realized that we came to obtain his support!"
Fan Qian sneered, "Even if he realized it, so what? In any case, we possess the ancient medicinal formula to cure avian chaos. If the avian race wants peace, they will have to beg us!"
Yang Xun: "Someone is here!"
*Knock, knock, knock!*
A knock echoed on the door!
You Wang walked to the door and opened it!
Upon seeing Chen Nan, the three from the Heavenly Demon Cave frowned slightly!
They had seen Chen Nan at the Peng Emperor's place before and were deeply puzzled and curious about a young human being present here!
"Greetings, three seniors!" Chen Nan bowed and said, "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Chen Nan, from the human race! I am currently serving as a tutor in the avian race!"
Hearing him say this, the three did not suspect anything!
The avian race had always had a tradition of capturing humans for education, which was despised by other races!
Fan Qian spoke, asking indifferently, "What brings you here?"
Chen Nan politely replied, "Naturally, I am here for the ancient medicinal formula in the hands of the Third Prince!"
"Oh?" Fan Qian smiled, "Didn't your Peng Emperor say that the crisis of avian chaos has been resolved?"
Chen Nan gave a wry smile, "Avian chaos is the greatest nemesis of the avian race. How can it be so easily resolved?"
"The reason the Peng Emperor said that is merely to save face!"
"Indeed, in my opinion, it's purely a case of dying for pride and suffering for the pain!"
If anyone else had said this, it would have been considered treasonous!
But Fan Qian felt that Chen Nan's words made sense!
Wasn't this exactly dying for pride and suffering for the pain?
Fan Qian spoke, "Let's be direct. What benefits can your avian race give us?"
Chen Nan asked, "I wonder what the Third Prince desires?"
Fan Qian smiled, "Can you give me whatever I want?"
Chen Nan replied, "The Peng Emperor does not know I have come to see the Third Prince. Even if I can make decisions on my own and agree to certain conditions, the Peng Emperor may not necessarily approve!"
The implication was clear: Don't go too far!
Fan Qian directly stated, "I need the Peng Emperor's support at a crucial moment! It doesn't necessarily have to be his personal presence, but the avian race must show an attitude of friendship towards me!"
Chen Nan hesitated for a moment, "Alright, I will promise you the condition on behalf of the Peng Emperor!"
Fan Qian sneered, "Wouldn't this be too casual and not rigorous enough?"
"Even if you are a tutor from the avian race, I don't know your authority!"
It was evident that Fan Qian was a meticulous and orderly person!
Even though he had seen Chen Nan at the Peng Emperor's place, he did not believe his words!
Chen Nan said, "How about this, I will arrange a banquet tonight and invite the Peng Emperor to attend, to treat everyone to spiritual ducks. Would that suffice?"
The faces of the three changed!
Although demon races fought each other and consumed each other's flesh and blood!
Everyone knew that the Peng Emperor hated others eating his kin the most!
If spiritual ducks were to appear at the banquet, and the Peng Emperor himself attended!
It would indeed demonstrate his influence within the avian race!
Thinking of this, Fan Qian said, "If what you say is true, then I am willing to cooperate with you!"
"Then please, distinguished guests, rest here. I will go and prepare the banquet!" Chen Nan turned and left!
Watching Chen Nan's receding back, Fan Qian asked, "Senior Yang Xun, what do you think of this person?"
Yang Xun replied, "Although this child is an ordinary person, for him to be in the avian race and be highly regarded by the Peng Emperor, he must have some skills."
"If we see spiritual ducks at the banquet tonight, we can cooperate with him!"
In fact, they all knew!
Even if they reached an agreement with the Peng Emperor, he would not personally attend at a crucial moment!
All they wanted was an attitude from the avian race!
------
"Brother, are these spiritual ducks enough for you to eat tonight?"
As soon as Chen Nan returned to Yan Guang's mansion, Yan Guang waved his right hand, and more than a dozen spiritual ducks were lying on the ground, trembling!
Each weighed over ten pounds, and their feathers were as white as snow!
Chen Nan replied, "Not enough, I plan to treat the distinguished guests from the Heavenly Demon Cave to spiritual ducks!"
Yan Guang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Since that's the case, I'll have someone catch a few more!"
Chen Nan added, "Brother Yan, I am not used to living in the divine tree. Can I move to live on the ground?"
Living on the ground was more down-to-earth!
This was also why Chen Nan did not want to live in the divine tree!
Yan Guang: "It's a small matter. Live wherever you feel comfortable! Tu An, take Brother Chen Nan to choose a cave dwelling on the ground later! After dealing with the people from the Heavenly Demon Cave, I will send a message to my clan, forbidding them from causing trouble for Brother Chen Nan!"
Demons and humans had been enemies since ancient times. If he didn't give instructions, Chen Nan would surely encounter a lot of trouble!
That was something he did not want to see!
"Let's go, I'll take you to choose a cave dwelling on the ground!" Tu An directly took Chen Nan away from the divine tree and chose a secluded cave on the ground!
This cave was next to a small river, with babbling water and a pleasant scenery!
After escorting Chen Nan, Tu An went to catch spiritual ducks!
After all, guests still needed to be entertained in the evening...
As for Chen Nan, he slaughtered those more than a dozen spiritual ducks, gutted them, and set them aside for later use!
Then he took out a large stainless steel pot from his storage space, put it on the fire, and boiled water...
He had many seasonings in his storage space, so making a pot of Zhou He Ya was not difficult!
Just as the aroma began to spread, an unexpected event occurred!
A terrifying demonic energy suddenly struck!
*Boom!*
Chen Nan felt as if he had been hit head-on by a truck, spitting blood and flying backward!
