667 Dazzling Girl
At night, Xue Ling pressed Huanhuan down and tortured her for half the night without any shame.
The next morning, Xue Ling called Shuang Mu, Shuang Lin, and Shuang Hua over.
“Your father is still on his way back. Go to the camp and find some men. Come with me to pick them up later.”
After the three brothers agreed, they immediately went out to the camp to choose people.
Shuang Yin wanted to go with them, but she was stopped by Xue Ling.
“Stay at home with your mother. I have something to do back at the feather tribe.”
Hence, Shuang Yin had no choice but to give up on the idea of going to the camp to help. She stayed at home to talk to Huanhuan and catch up. The mother and daughter had been separated for many years and had too many things to say to each other.
Xue Ling flew to the top with Eggy and arrived at the residence of the feather tribe.
The houses here were denser than before, and the number of birds had increased greatly.
When the feather beast in charge of patrolling outside saw Xue Ling, he immediately shouted excitedly, “Elder Xue Ling is back!”
Many feather beasts rushed to spread the news and came to look at Xue Ling, who had just returned home.
Xue Ling asked casually, “Where’s Shen Yan?”
Someone immediately replied, “Patriarch Shen Yan is in the meeting hall.”
Xue Ling waved his hand. “Alright, go do whatever you have to do. Don’t dawdle here.”
The elder had been gone for almost a year before his return. The beasts missed him very much and were all unwilling to leave. When an attentive and sharp-eyed beast saw the yellow ball on Xue Ling’s shoulder, they boldly asked, “Elder, who’s the fat bird on your shoulder?”
Eggy: “…”
F-Fat bird?
Her heart shattered.
Seeing that his precious daughter was sad, Xue Ling quickly pulled her into his arms to comfort her. He glared at the beast who had just asked the question. “What fat bird? My Eggy is round and smooth. Don’t you have any sense of aesthetics?!”
Eggs? The beasts looked at each other.
After finally coaxing his precious daughter, Xue Ling was in the mood to answer everyone’s questions.
“Her name is Eggy. She’s my and Huanhuan’s daughter.”
Knowing that the oldest bachelor of the feather tribe had a daughter, everyone present was in an uproar.
Many male beasts who had just reached adulthood came over and shouted anxiously.
“As the saying goes, we shouldn’t let benefits go to outsiders. It’s not easy for the feather tribe to have a female. In the future when she wants to find a mate, she has to find one from the feather tribe! What do you think of me? I’m strong. I’m very suitable to be someone’s mate!”
“I’m not bad either! I can cook and make clothes. If Eggy is willing to be my mate, I’ll definitely take very good care of her!”
“Look at me! I just came of age yesterday. I’m younger than them. I’m the best choice!”
…
Xue Ling was surrounded by them and could not stand it.
He spread his wings and flew into the sky with Eggy in his arms.
In terms of flying speed, no one in the feather tribe was his match. He quickly shook off those brats who wanted to be his son-in-law.
In the meeting hall, Shen Yan was discussing something with his two trusted aides.
The door was suddenly pushed open. They stopped discussing and turned to look at the door. They saw Xue Ling striding over in a fiery red feather coat.
Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then he stood up with a surprised expression. “You’re finally back!”
Xue Ling said leisurely, “I came back yesterday. I had dinner with Big Goody and the others last night. I only had time to look for you this morning.”
Shen Yan waved at his two trusted aides behind him. The two of them immediately and tactfully left the meeting hall.
“Did you come back alone?”
“Of course not. I came back with my wife and daughter this time.”
It took Shen Yan a lot of effort to digest the huge amount of information in Xue Ling’s words. He asked with difficulty, “You mean, not only did you get Huanhuan back, but you also gave birth to a daughter?”
“Yes, Huanhuan is chatting with Big Goody at home. As for my daughter…” Xue Ling touched the fat yellow-feathered bird in his arms. “She’s here. Her name is Eggy.”
Eggy flew up and stood on Xue Ling’s shoulder. She shook the feathers on her chest and called out crisply, “Hello, knuckle!”
“Knuckle?” Shen Yan didn’t know when he got himself such a nickname.
Xue Ling coughed lightly. “Eggy, it’s Uncle, not knuckle. You have to straighten your tongue when you speak.”
“Knuckle! That’s what I’m saying!”
“…”
Xue Ling was silent for a moment, then he decided to ignore the objective truth and agree very seriously. “Yes, it’s knuckle! You’re right!”
Shen Yan was speechless.
In the past, he had heard that beasts became stupid when they became fathers. He didn’t believe it then.
It was only now that he finally believed it!
Next, Xue Ling began to show off his daughter. He said that his daughter was smart, sensible, cute, and considerate…
In any case, as long as it was a compliment, he would use it to describe his daughter.
Shen Yan’s face was blank.
Was the feather beast in front of him a fake?
It wasn’t until Eggy fell asleep from his praise that Xue Ling stopped showing off and told Shen Yan about his experiences in the past six months.
“We brought back some tree people this time. Bai Di and Shuang Yun are on their way back with those tree people. I have to bring people to pick them up later.”
“Tree people?” Even the knowledgeable Shen Yan had only occasionally heard of legends about the tree people. He had never seen a tree person with his own eyes.
“They’re just a group of people who only like to eat vegetables and not meat. They look no different from beasts, but they don’t have beast forms and can’t transform.” Xue Ling thought for a moment and added, “But they bloom.”
“Bloom?”
Xue Ling gestured to his hair. “Their heads are filled with blooming flowers.”
Shen Yan couldn’t help but laugh. “That sounds quite interesting.”
“They’re good at planting. After they settle in Rock City, they can take care of the fruit and vegetable fields.”
Hearing this, Shen Yan frowned slightly. “I’m afraid this won’t be easy.”
“What do you mean?”
“Ever since Huanhuan left, the fruit forest and vegetable fields have been handed over to the Divine Wood clan to manage. If we rashly change the people in charge now, I’m afraid people from the Divine Wood clan will be dissatisfied.”
Xue Ling chuckled and did not take those people seriously. “The Divine Wood clan has to listen to Huanhuan. They have to do whatever she says.”
“That was true in the past, but it’s not necessarily the case now…”
Shen Yan’s words were vague, but Xue Ling immediately understood what he meant.
“Could it be that the Divine Wood clan wants to rebel?”
“It’s not to the point of rebellion, but you have to understand that power is the easiest to confuse. Once you get a taste of it, it’s difficult to let go.”
Xue Ling frowned.
To him, strength was everything. Even if the Divine Wood clan had any thoughts, as long as he was around, it was impossible for them to hurt Huanhuan.
However, he was leaving Rock City later and could not stay here to protect Huanhuan.
Xue Ling could only ask Shen Yan.
“When I’m not at home, please help take care of Huanhuan. No matter what happens, don’t let her be hurt.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect her.”
