Chapter 453: Secret of the Three-Legged Golden Crow
When the Three-legged Golden Crow heard this, it was immediately angered.
“Victor, what the f*ck do you take me for? Do you think I’m you?”
“F*ck! I’m just telling you, why are you so angry!”
“You’re deliberately provoking me. The Three-legged Golden Crow Clan is not allowed to marry other birds. Are you telling me that you don’t know such a common knowledge?”
“I really don’t… Wait, why? You’re both divine birds, is there a difference between the Golden Crow and the Blue Luan?”
“You really don’t know?” The Three-legged Golden Crow’s tone was a little surprised.
After all, this kind of thing was basically known by everyone in the five plains. It was hard for the Three-legged Golden Crow to imagine Victor not knowing it.
“Why would I lie to you?” Victor raised his eyebrows and glanced at the Three-legged Golden Crow.
He really did not know about this. He could not recall any of these settings in his previous life either. Moreover, Victor did not know much about the Three-legged Golden Crow, so it was normal for him to not know much.
“You’d better not be deliberately provoking me.”
“Explain, why can’t you?”
“Tsk, it’s very troublesome to explain. You know the praying mantis, right? The Three-legged Golden Crow’s situation is similar to theirs.
“For males, unless we mate within the clan, the female will absorb the spiritual power of the male Three-legged Golden Crow. I’m not too sure about the specific reason, but it seems that the male Three-legged Golden Crow has a hidden second bloodline outside of their spiritual veins. If they mate within the Three-legged Golden Crow Clan, they will complement each other’s second bloodline. However, if they mate with the divine birds of other clans, their spiritual power will be used to replenish the other party.”
Listening to the Three-legged Golden Crow’s explanation, Victor felt his scalp go numb.
If the Three-legged Golden Crow was not an ancient divine dird, Victor would have thought that it was a domesticated animal that was specially used to raise one’s cultivation.
However, on second thought, it was unlikely that the Three-legged Golden Crow could be domesticated.
Since ancient times, the Three-legged Golden Crow had been worshipped as a divine bird. There was even a legend of the Golden Crow becoming the sun. No matter how he thought about it, Victor was thinking too much.
“However, why is it that only the Three-legged Golden Crow clan has this problem? Don’t the other divine birds have it? Moreover, the point of your anger shouldn’t be this, right?”
If it was just because of death, the Three-legged Golden Crow might not have lost its temper. At most, it could just explain it to him.
However, the Three-legged Golden Crow’s att.i.tude just now was not something that could be easily explained.
“Actually, I noticed something long ago.”
Speaking up to this point, Victor could clearly feel that the Three-legged Golden Crow’s tone was somewhat embarra.s.sed.
“That Blue Luan isn’t a pure-blood. Fusing with her will only affect my bloodline, so…”
“So, dying was just an excuse?”
“Of course not! Both factors play a role. When I was young, I often heard the older generation say that many seniors were willing to sacrifice their lives for a partner. Under their imperceptible influence, I became less resistant. If one day, I met a girl that I truly liked, even if she was a domesticated bird, I wouldn’t hesitate.
“However, the Three-legged Golden Crow can only have one partner in one lifetime, so we have to be careful.”
Perhaps it was an illusion, but when the Three-legged Golden Crow said that it could only have one partner in its lifetime, it emphasized on it. It was clearly provoking Victor.
“Alright, I’m just trying to be kind. If it can’t be done, then I won’t pressure you.”
This matter was not beneficial to Victor anyway. Even if the Three-legged Golden Crow refused, he would have nothing to lose.
He turned around and returned to the tent. Feng Lian had left without him knowing. Victor returned to the main seat and found a note.
On it were two words written in elegant handwriting: Phoenix General.
“Tsk… I don’t remember provoking her…”
Feng Lian, Phoenix[1] General. The altar master was no longer hinting. She had just admitted her interest for Victor, but why?
“Forget it, Phoenix General is fine. I will leave sooner or later anyway.
“Men, go and report to the altar master. I’ll take this name. Also, urge the altar master to hand over five thousand elite soldiers to me.”
“Yes, general.”
After he finished speaking, Victor flew out of the tent and walked toward the Central Plains Sect Alliance.
He remembered that the Wind Moon Altar where Gongye Yuyu was located was nearby. He had some things he wanted to ask Gongye Yuyu.
Not long after, Victor found the Wind Moon Altar Master, but was told that Gongye Yuyu was not present. He did not know where he had gone. Victor had no choice but to return.
However, just as Victor turned around, he saw Gongye Yuyu who had returned.
“Oh, Lord Battle General, what brings you to my Wind Moon Altar?”
“Lord Gongye Yuyu flatters me. I have some questions to ask for your help.”
“I see, please come in.”
Gongye Yuyu nodded and they entered the Wind Moon Altar with Victor one after the other.
As soon as they entered, Victor saw three pairs of mother and son laughing as they left.
“This is…”
“General, let’s talk about your own problems.”
Obviously, Gongye Yuyu did not want to tell Victor about the ident.i.ty of these women. Victor naturally knew his own limits and did not ask further.
They came to a secret room. Gongye Yuyu sat on the main seat and motioned for Victor to sit down.
“So, what’s the matter?”
Gongye Yuyu raised a cup of tea. The lid of the cup gently tapped on the edge of the teacup as he looked at Victor thoughtfully.
“Lord, you know who I am, right?”
Victor did not say clearly whether he knew his true ident.i.ty. If Gongye Yuyu did not know, wouldn’t it be like a sheep entering the tiger’s den?
Of course, this was obviously impossible.
“Why would I know who you are? Hehe, you think too highly of me.”
“Then what did the lord mean by what he said to me a few days ago?”
“Did I say anything? Hmm… Sorry, I don’t really remember.”
“Alright.”
Victor nodded in a deep voice and did not change his expression. He slowly stood up and bowed.
“In that case, I will take my leave.”
“Hold on, I haven’t finished speaking. General, don’t be anxious.”
“My lord, what else do you want to say?”
“Within a short period of time, the Central Plains Sect Alliance can not make any mistakes. The alliance with the Xiao family must also proceed according to the expected timeline. They must establish a Dao in the Great Snow Mountain of the Northern Plains. Therefore, if you have a method to take away the remnant soul without wasting soul power, you should tell me. I will help you. Otherwise, you won’t be able to take away this remnant soul.”
“My lord, what… What do you mean?”
Victor slowly turned around, his smile a little forced.
“At such a time, you coincidentally came to the Central Plains Sect Alliance and became a general. In addition to what happened in the Fire Sect a while ago, and the owner of the mountain treasure, it’s not hard to guess.”
“My lord, what mountain treasure? I don’t understand.”
“Is it necessary to keep pretending, Victor?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor could not help but tremble as he looked at Gongye Yuyu with extreme fear.
