1049: Chapter 304: Wild Bald Donkey 1049: Chapter 304: Wild Bald Donkey Ji Feixue’s expression shifted ever so slightly.
“Eh?” Feng Si’s eyes widened in astonishment, shimmering with the aura of Eight Trigrams, “Aha!
You really have it!”
Originally, it was just a scent that was a bit different, and she was just teasing, according to Ji Feixue’s temperament, she should disdainfully ignore such teasing.
What was this guilty conscience all about?
She turned her head to look towards the cave dwelling, leaned close to Ji Feixue, and whispered, “Aren’t you going to call him out and let us meet him?”
What’s with the stinginess, girl?
While she was absorbed in her gossip, the door of the dwelling squeaked open, and a black-clothed figure walked out.
With red lips and white teeth, the graceful youth bore colorful wings on his back, which instead of appearing demon-like, added a touch of valor.
“I am…
Gu Luo, it is a pleasure to meet both of you.”
Ji Feixue: “???”
Judging by this guy’s tone, could this Gu Luo be his elder in a future life?
He should record this and someday present it to that elder.
Su He wore a gentle smile on his face.
The Phoenix Ancestor did not permit him to reveal his identity casually.
Su He wasn’t sure of the specific reason, but listening to an elder’s advice never seemed to be wrong.
“I am Cloud Illumination, and this is my wife, Feng Si.
We are pleased to meet you.
Our sudden intrusion is regrettable, please forgive us,” Xuan Bird landed on the ground, nodded slightly, and looked at Su He with curiosity.
Ji Feixue’s name was something Feng Si mentioned daily until it almost gave ear blisters.
The image of Ji Feixue that Feng Si had portrayed was that of a cold, aloof fairy, someone who kept others at arm’s length.
Yet, upon their first meeting, he discovered that such a fairy, in fact, had a partner—and such a handsome young man at that.
Perhaps due to the burden of the Dragon Turtle and Peacock Body, Su He, in his human form, did not look like someone in his twenties from his past life, appearing to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
This truly matched Ji Feixue’s current appearance perfectly.
Feng Si looked at Su He; although this was the first time he had met this fellow daoist, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Even Cloud Illumination was struck by that feeling.
This youth’s race was unknown to them, they couldn’t identify it for the moment, but his wings looked familiar, resembling those of the Peacock Wings by about sixty to seventy percent, only more suited to a human form.
If she and her husband could have a peacock offspring with such wings in the future, that wouldn’t be bad at all.
Feng Si never doubted that she could give birth to offspring; after all, her innate gift was to enhance her own and her bloodline’s ability to bear children.
However, her husband was merely a Xuan Bird, so the chances of giving birth to a phoenix were rather slim.
The Phoenix Clan is special; if the spouse is not a phoenix, offspring born are typically some subspecies, mainly peacocks or Rocs, with the occasional Green Bird.
In other words, Cloud Illumination’s bloodline would not show in their offspring, totally suppressed by her Ice Phoenix bloodline.
The only effect it would have is to lower the quality of Feng Si’s own bloodline.
Su He looked at the two birds opposite him.
Worship Granny didn’t seem any different.
She looked the same as she did seventy-three million years later, without any change.
However, her aura was even more dominant than it was seventy-three million years later, sharper and more exposed.
Seventy-three million years later, Worship Granny wouldn’t harm a mortal even if she landed on a mortal’s head.
This divine creature, with its body resembling a mix between a Green Bird and a swallow, was the external grandfather of the Peacock Body.
Despite being just a bird, it gave Su He a refined feeling.
This sense of refinement was not like the hypocrisy of a sanctimonious scoundrel but as if the bird truly had a scholarly background.
Such a pity for this bird to have died…
Worship Granny had mentioned it briefly, the Xuan Bird Tribe was wiped out forty million years later.
Cloud Illumination must have also perished in that disaster.
Su He’s heart suddenly felt heavier.
He had always known his future, but for this world, it was history.
History cannot be changed.
Knowing the elegant outcome of this scholarly Xuan Bird, he was powerless to do anything.
This feeling inexplicably stifled him.
Su He forced a smile and, clasping his hands, said, “I have heard much about you both from my wife and am honored to meet you today.
Please forgive my intrusion!”
Ji Feixue’s eyes narrowed.
Wife…
This term felt so awkward to the ears.
Of all the more decent things he could have learned, why follow Cloud Illumination in being affected?
Moreover, did he really resolve that she wouldn’t embarrass him?
Was he planning to proclaim it to all four corners?
Ji Feixue looked at Su He, a smirk not quite reaching her face.
Feng Si’s eyes brightened even more.
Ji Feixue actually did not contradict!
Even if these two weren’t daoist couples, there must be some kind of story between them.
This fellow daoist was impressive indeed.
The girl left the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains half a year ago still as icy as an Ice Mass, and in just a mere half-year, she had nearly changed beyond recognition.
Feng Si burst out laughing, the clear phoenix cry spreading throughout Yunmeng Ze.
Ji Feixue flicked her finger, and a spiritual Pill Medicine was choked into Feng Si’s throat, freezing her laughter between her lips and teeth.
“What have you come back for?”
Feng Si had just gone to the Transient Great World and normally could not have come back so soon.
Feng Si clamped her beak, crunching up a chunk of frozen Heart Cleansing Pill and swallowing it down, seemingly savoring the flavor.
This girl’s alchemy skills had become increasingly sophisticated and unconventional.
Cloud Illumination flapped his wings, his eyes revealing an unusual gravity: “I heard that a person of the Ma Shi Empress was seen in Mystery Huang.
I asked her to accompany me to seek aid.”
Emperor Ma Shi…
This name sounded somewhat familiar; Su He recalled it immediately.
During his lessons at Qingyuan Gate’s Li Nan Yuan, he had learned this legend.
It was said that Emperor Ma Shi was the preeminent Beast Tamer of ancient times, the first beast doctor in the world, who once treated a dragon.
That led to the subsequent composition of Transforming Beast Guide.
That dragon, if no surprises, was the Dragon Ancestor.
The first Divine God Dragon, the ancestor of all dragons.
The descendants of Emperor Ma Shi were naturally legitimate Beast Doctors—speaking of which, should Su He and Ji Feixue fall ill, would they need to see a Beast Doctor?
