Chapter 150 Mahayana Ritual 8
Qin Che's injuries had healed by now. He got up from the ground and, along with his senior and junior sisters, stared warily at the young man.
A hint of resentment flashed in the boy's eyes: "I'll spare your lives today! But next time I won't let you off so easily."
The boy's tone was arrogant, and the threat was obvious.
Cheng Jiu glared back defiantly: "I'll remember this grudge too. If there comes a future, I'll pluck all your feathers."
"Ants." The boy's gaze skipped over Cheng Jiu and went straight to Chang Yue: "Hey, that super-strong woman! Let's have another match next time."
Cheng Jiu had never been treated with such contempt before. The Heavenly Wood Sword in his hand was itching to be used. This scraggly bird was really despicable and arrogant, he deserved to be beaten!
Chang Yue reached out and grabbed Cheng Jiu's hand, shaking her head at her. No matter how arrogant the other party was, firstly, he came from the demon race and the Guiyuan Sect, so it was impossible to kick him out like she had treated Lord Tai'an.
Before the two races completely break off relations, it's best to maintain a semblance of peace. Besides, the demon race has always been like this; if a demon envoy is unfriendly, it doesn't matter who he is.
Now that the other side is the guest, if the Guiyuan Sect makes the first move, then the human race will be at a disadvantage, which is really unwise.
Secondly, this is, after all, a grand ceremony for two immortal lords. If it gets out of hand, it will make this auspicious day look terrible.
Seeing Cheng Jiu being pulled along by the other party's senior sister, the young man from the Ming Dynasty gave Cheng Jiu a provocative smile, a smile full of disdain and contempt. These young disciples of the human race were the most naive, and if provoked even slightly, they would explode like a barrel of explosives at any time, making them particularly easy to exploit.
Cheng Jiu's anger surged, and she made mark after mark in her notebook. She vowed that when she had the power, she would pluck the feathers of this scraggly bird and cook it!
"Why don't you dare to make a move?" The young Cheng Jiu actually held back, his tone still provocative and dismissive: "How boring. I thought you had some skills! Since that's the case, you don't need to escort me."
With that, the young man strode arrogantly toward the main hall.
The three were left with only sullen faces. How infuriating! They were too arrogant.
Although it was rather impolite to let a guest go to the reception shop alone, none of the three of them had any intention of seeing off the black demon.
The young man arrogantly entered the reception hall. The spirit beast he rode was even more arrogant, squatting there and refusing to budge no matter how the disciples of the rental office tried to soothe, pull, or coax it. The scorching flames on its body caused small pits to appear on the originally smooth jade platform!
The perfectly arranged scene suddenly had a small piece broken, and the disciple in charge of the rental office had no choice but to stop the little ancestor from extinguishing his flames.
They couldn't break through the opponent's flames at all, nor could they pull the opponent away. The opponent's sharp claws were stuck straight into the jade platform, and no matter who called, they couldn't be dragged away.
What should we do? Should we ask the owner to cooperate with the firebird and go to the rental shop with them?
The thought was immediately dismissed when I thought about the boy's terrible character and attitude.
The red-clad youth standing in front of the reception hall wore a wicked and mocking smile, as if he were watching them make a fool of themselves.
The senior members of the rental department were extremely aggrieved by this firebird, even though there were quite a few little devils in the rental department.
They are generally obedient and well-behaved. Although they are occasionally naughty, they will still give them some face. But this firebird is not swayed by either soft or hard approaches, and it makes them lose face.
For a moment, the senior brother who was dragging the firebird was like a monkey in a zoo, being watched by everyone, while the firebird raised its long neck high, its slender bird eyes full of disdain.
It's practically a carbon copy of its owner.
For a moment, they were frozen in place. The senior brother was almost in tears, looking to Cheng Jiu and the other two for help.
Cheng Jiu was already holding back his anger because of the other party's master. Seeing this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. If I can't beat your master, how could I not be able to deal with you?
Thinking this, Cheng Jiu silently chanted in his heart, "Great demeanor, great demeanor."
Then, with a smile, he walked over and said, "Senior brother, leave it to me!"
When the senior brother at the rental office saw Cheng Jiu's delighted expression, he quickly stepped aside. It's not that he was helpless; the sect's rental office was full of patriarchs. If any of the disciples there had bad intentions or a bad character, even the spirit beast patriarchs would probably protest.
After all, in the eyes of these elders, even if their juniors have some bad tempers, they are still considered lively and cute. And how can a little beast not have a temper? For example, in the eyes of their elders, the little cloud beast is also a representative of liveliness and cuteness. Is the little cloud beast wrong? The ones who are wrong are definitely those disciples.
The protectiveness of spirit beasts among the elders of these sects was on full display.
Moreover, the benefits at the rental office are quite good, even better than those of some elders and disciples. The first spirit beast selected for the rental office has a higher affinity with the animals. Secondly, the spirit beasts are gentle, kind, and resilient.
Most spirit beasts like this kind of person, so the disciples at the rental shop are generally very successful with spirit beasts. But this spirit beast is the most difficult one they've ever encountered.
The bird glanced sideways at Cheng Jiu with its beady eyes, seemingly looking down on him, or perhaps ignoring him.
Cheng Jiu smiled, and the wood-elemental energy surrounding him gave the spirit beasts a feeling that he was very easy to get along with.
The spirit beast looked down on Cheng Jiu even more, watching him without moving, seemingly waiting to see what Cheng Jiu would do.
Cheng Jiu took out a bottle, opened it, and a strange fragrance slowly wafted out of the bottle.
The senior brother at the rental office was very familiar with this fragrance, because every time it appeared, chaos would break out at the rental office. He looked at Cheng Jiu with disbelief, as if asking his junior sister, "Where did you get this? How do you have it?"
The firebird, its neck held high, caught a whiff of the aroma, and a struggle flashed in DouDou's eyes. It wanted to eat it, but couldn't, it really wanted to eat it. But then again, even if this lowly human with such low cultivation had some scheme, would a mere Tribulation Transcending stage spirit beast like itself be afraid?
Its owner, the boy, became anxious when he saw his silly bird's long neck pecking at the human's palm. He didn't believe the human had any good intentions. Why was his silly bird so greedy? He hadn't mistreated it!
"Huo Huo, shut up!"
He flew over quickly, trying to stop it, but his silly bird knew him better than he did, not to mention Cheng Jiu was there to help. A second before he arrived, Cheng Jiu lifted him up and successfully stuffed the pill into the firebird's mouth. The firebird choked as it tilted its long neck downwards.
"Firefire, you're a stupid bird! Spit it out right now!" The young man slapped his mount in exasperation, and Cheng Jiu, unleashing his full power, pressed forward. The Heavenly Wood Sword appeared out of thin air, blocking the opponent's oppressive aura. "What did you feed Firefire? If anything happens to me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Don't worry, they're all tonics!" Cheng Jiu said with a smile. They were indeed tonics, but they were made by the eighteenth senior brother of Medicine Peak. As expected of a tonic specifically for spirit beasts, even spirit beasts in the Tribulation Transcending stage were powerless against it.
Suddenly, Huo Huo let out a long howl, and the flames on its body directly ignited the hair of its master beside it.
"Fire! What are you doing?" The boy patted the flames on his head, but the other person's hair was completely unharmed by the flames. He couldn't put it out, and the fire on his head grew stronger and stronger.
Cheng Jiu had already retreated and dodged the flames in time, while the senior brother at the rental office, being experienced, stayed far away.
Huo Huo seemed to be under the influence of fake alcohol, constantly shaking its head and letting out a long howl every now and then, its sharp head constantly snapping back at the boy's head.
"Ouch, Huo Huo, wake up! What did you do to my Huo Huo?" The boy reached out to grab Cheng Jiu, but Cheng Jiu dodged left and right with his footwork, and the other boy could not catch him.
The flames on Huo Huo's body seemed to be poisoned, changing colors like red, orange, blue, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The bird was extremely excited and kept trying to get close to its owner!
Its master was thoroughly tormented by Huo Huo. The flames of the other party could not be extinguished by the boy, and of course, his flames could not cause any harm to the boy either. The main thing was that when the flames on Huo Huo's body changed, the flames on his hair also began to change, which made Cheng Jiu laugh out loud.
"A seven-colored mixed-feather bird!" Cheng Jiu mocked, dodging the bird's grasp again!
"What seven-colored mixed-feather bird? I am a descendant of the Vermilion Bird, a legitimate descendant of the Vermilion Bird! You clueless little brat! Stop right there and hand over the antidote!"
Two fiery red wings unfurled behind the opponent, and it pounced on Cheng Jiu with incredible speed. However, Cheng Jiu was agile, and whenever the opponent tried to grab him, Cheng Jiu was able to dodge in time, making him incredibly slippery.
Then, the scene unfolded as if Huo Huo had taken some kind of fake medicine, flashing LED lights and trying to get close to its owner. Its owner's hair seemed to be responding to it, relentlessly chasing Cheng Jiu, while Cheng Jiu dodged left and right in front of it. The bird, the demon, and the human began to circle around each other.
Chang Yue and Qin Che, who were watching from the side, were amazed.
"Junior Sister Cheng Jiu's footwork is amazing. She can outmaneuver that demon like she's walking a dog," Qin Che exclaimed.
Chang Yue nodded, then suddenly realized something was wrong. She coughed twice and said calmly, "Vulgar. Don't forget that the other party is also our guest. Be careful that your words don't damage the relationship between our two clans."
"You talk as if humans and demons have such a good relationship!" Qin Che said, then slowly shut his mouth when he met his senior sister's death stare.
Chang Yue didn't delve into it. Then, Li Weixin led two brothers who seemed to have been completely drained of their energy out of the reception hall, only to be met with this chaotic scene.
"What happened? What's wrong with you two? Junior Brother Gongcheng, Junior Brother Gongcheng?" Qin Che asked with concern as he looked at his two junior brothers who seemed rather dejected.
"Quick, quick, he's been crushed by Senior Brother Weixin's misplaced familial affection." Gong Cheng's eyes widened in realization. What exactly happened?
At first, the Li family patriarch kept praising his younger generation and introduced the three of them to the other immortal lords. Although they had known each other before, the personal introduction by a Mahayana immortal lord would make their relationship seem even closer.
Moreover, there was an elder present, and several immortal lords couldn't help but praise the outstanding juniors in their ancestral capacity.
As they praised each other, the conversation turned to their ages, especially the immortal lords who had partners. They couldn't help but enjoy talking about marriage. Although the three of them said they were only focused on cultivation, the immortal lords said it wouldn't be a problem for them to know a few more fairies. It was no big deal for a male cultivator to have a few confidantes.
Then they introduced the female relatives of their acquaintances, all of whom were outstanding, and one of them even had a celestial master as a teacher.
With female relatives in the household, everyone's minds became active. Originally, only a few were planned to be introduced, but all the Venerable Lords in the entire reception hall who had female cultivators with them became interested and naturally joined the topic.
He couldn't remember any of them, couldn't leave, and couldn't speak ill of these fairies, so he coldly refused.
He could only stand there blankly exchanging greetings with the fairies. Fortunately, Li Weixin was experienced and, seeing that it was almost time, immediately said goodbye, explaining that Cheng Jiu and the other two were still waiting outside for them to greet the guests together, and that he could not stay any longer, so he took his leave.
Amidst the regretful gazes of those venerable figures whom he had yet to meet, Li Weixin led his two junior brothers away as if fleeing.
Even now, the Gong brothers, Gong Cheng and Gong Yu, are still somewhat in shock. They had never experienced anything like this before; it was truly terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!
After hearing the whole story, Chang Yue and Qin Che looked at the three of them with sympathy, especially Li Weixin.
After all, Gong Yu's parents had already ascended to immortality, and their master wasn't someone who cared about such things. This was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
But Li Weixin is different. His parents are still alive and he has his own family. His ancestors are happy about this and have no objection at all. He will definitely have to go through this in the future!
