Chapter 157: Source World 9 (part 1 of 2)
Upon waking up, the Little Phoenix found himself in a round rattan bed. The bed was so big, that rolling a few laps in it wouldn’t be a problem at all, in addition to being remarkably soft and comfortable. The setting sun’s rays shone in through the window, and had virtually dyed the entire room with a layer of gold light. The Little Phoenix had simply put on his outer robe, then walked to the door without any shoes on.
After going out, did he just discover that, the house he is in, is built on a tree. This gigantic tree that supports the house is of at least several hundred years old. The tree trunk is incredibly thick and solid, that even a dozen or more people together will not be able to wrap their arms around it. The surrounding environment were surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers, as well as lush and luxuriant forests, with trees of all sorts vying with each other for glamour. The entire valley is as beautiful as the Garden of the Peaches of Immortality.
There’s no bird that doesn’t like trees, so the Little Phoenix felt an indescribable satisfaction with the scenery in front of him. He soon after promptly jumped off from the tree house straight away, and landed on the ground covered with soft fallen leaves, then walked while calling out An Ying’s name.
An Ying was standing in front a man wearing black garments at the moment.
“Um, you’ve recovered quite well.”
The other party probed around An Ying’s body with the use of Divine Sense, then withdrew the Divine Sense soon after and continued to say: “I foresaw that you will not fail the thunder tribulation during your adulthood, a n.o.ble person will also come to your a.s.sistance. But I didn’t expect you to recover so quickly. Now, not only are you at the peak of your cultivation stage, the internal and external injuries caused by the thunder tribulation had also been completely healed. For there to not be a single trace of hidden injury left, is really an astonishing feat.”
The black clothed man speaking, is An Ying’s foster father, Mao Shu. Although his age is equivalent to a normal middle-aged human, but he still looks young on the outside, in addition to having an elegant demeanor.
An Ying’s cultivation base after advancement is the Demon Emperor Stage. To be able to reach this level after having just reached adulthood, was absolutely one in over ten thousand. The Soaring Serpent is innately arrogant, and soars above the entire Demon Realm. One of the few individuals, An Ying has a deep respect for, is this foster father of his. He promptly nodded: “Someone had really helped me.”
Putting aside the other things, the longevity stone, which the Little Phoenix used to make a nest for Soaring Snake, is an extremely rare sacred healing item, “He is a being from the Heavenly Realm. He came with me to the Demon Valley and is going to live here for a while. He has yet to reach adulthood, so he’s a little bit high-spirited, in addition to having quite a strong sense of curiosity. Nonetheless, since foster father lives quite a distance away far from me, he shouldn’t disturb your tranquility.”
When speaking of the Little Phoenix, An Ying completely didn’t realize that his unchanging cold and rigid expression softened for a moment. He didn’t even notice, that when he said the two words ‘Heavenly Realm’, Mao Shu had unconsciously clenched his fist tightly under the cover of his sleeves. Only after a short while had pa.s.sed did he pretend to inadvertently ask: “Heavenly Realm? Who from the Heavenly Realm.”
An Ying paused, but still answered truthfully: “High Immortal Shen Tong.”
Within the Four Realms, the only High Immortal that has yet to reach adulthood is precisely the Little Phoenix alone. Numerous individuals couldn’t even touch upon the Nascent Soul formation despite having cultivated for a lifetime, but he was born as a High Immortal. Be that as it may, the greatly exalted High Immortal has been completely attracted by the animals and plants he encountered along the way at this moment. Not to mention a fawn and a baby monkey, he even wanted to touch and take a look at the flowers he had never seen before.
It is such a coincidence that, the Little Phoenix, who specially followed An Ying to catch a fox in the Human Realm but failed to do so, had actually spotted a fox from a distance at this moment. Thus, he chased after it without a second thought, and even used his Spiritual power, in order to catch the other.
But just moments before he was about to catch up, a very large tiger unexpectedly appeared at the slope, and lunged at the fox.
He immediately became anxious, and was just about to take action to save the fox, but to his surprise, a white light flashed in that instant after the tiger lunged at the fox. Both animals changed into their human forms, and changed into two young people with different temperaments.
The Little Phoenix had no idea that the plants and animals here were different from those in the Human Realm, as any life form could be a demon with spiritual knowledge, thus, he couldn’t help but be taken aback. He became even more stunned in the next second, as he witnessed the young couple unexpectedly hug and kiss each other as though there were no one else around.
The Demon Realm isn’t that hierarchical and ascetic as the Heavenly Realm, nor does it even follow all various kinds of etiquette and doctrine like in the Human Realm, but was open, free and arbitrary. There isn’t even a shameful feeling in the act of making love out in the open, let alone the act of kissing. Thus, just like this, the Little Phoenix watched the pa.s.sionate kiss in close range, which lasted for almost up to a quarter of an hour. Only then did that ‘reunion after an absence is sweeter than being newlyweds’ lovers stop, the enchanting-looking demon fox looked at the Little Phoenix’s gaze, which were full of novelty, and said: “Hey, who are you? What are you staring at? Have you never seen lovers kissing before?”
Having truly never seen such, the Little Phoenix tilted his head and asked with all seriousness: “What’s a lover? Why do you want to kiss on the lips?”
He only remembered that during his childhood, the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress would kiss his face, Kong Ming would kiss his forehead and the tip of his nose, but no one had ever kissed him on his lips. Over this past half a year, the Little Phoenix’s appearance also appeared to be a year older, and his exquisite countenance became even more dazzling. The demon fox took in his pretty face, and couldn’t help but raise a brow, then walk forward while saying in an extremely enchanting low voice: “Because kisses on the lips is an especially pleasant thing. You still haven’t experienced a kiss on the lips yet? Do you want me to teach you? It’s quite easy to learn, I guarantee that you’ll learn it immediately.”
The Little Phoenix looked at the approaching demon fox, and actually stayed in place without any intention of avoidance. At this moment, a powerful wind attack came from the left front side without warning, heading straight for the demon fox’s hand that held the Little Phoenix’s wrist, with a fast and fierce strength.
Fortunately, the tiger at the side reacted quickly, by hurriedly grabbing the fox’s waist from behind and pulling him back. Otherwise, not only his hand, but even the side of his face would’ve end up in a b.l.o.o.d.y mess.
The demon fox furiously looked at the direction where the powerful wind attack came from at once. An Ying could be seen using the ‘three steps and two steps’ with his Spiritual power to move across distance instantly. He covered the Little Phoenix with his back, then coldly told the tiger soon after: “Qiu Yin, control your person.”
Although Qiu Yin, is a young clan leader of the tiger clan, he still didn’t dare to behave presumptuously under the Soaring Serpent’s presence. So, he hurriedly said: “Bai Qi merely loves to joke around, and didn’t really mean it. I hope you will not mind him.”
The barefooted Little Phoenix was eventually carried back by a frowning and completely silent An Ying.
