Upon seeing her turn to leave, Green Feather breathed a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, a claw reached out and grabbed it and dragged it out of the hole.
“Cluck cluck cluck! You tricked me!” It shouted angrily but saw that Feng Jiu had already stretched her hand inside the hole and took out the thing it was hiding in its nest.
“What is this?”
Feng Jiu looked at the bead in her hand in surprise. It was roughly the size of a chicken egg, yet it didn’t look like an egg because it was a bead. It’s just that she couldn’t tell what type of bead it was. All she knew was that the bead exuded a strong aura of spiritual energy.
“That’s my egg, I laid it! That’s mine! Cluck cluck cluck!” Its chicken feathers stood up and it looked at Feng Jiu nervously. Its small eyes were fixed tightly on the bead that was in her hand.
Feng Jiu glanced at it with a faint smile: “Since you belong to me, naturally the egg you lay also belongs to me. But this isn’t an egg, am I right?”
She stretched out her hand and touched Green Feather’s belly. That lump in its belly had indeed disappeared. So had it been hiding in the hole this whole time to lay this bead thing?
But what kind of bead was this? She only knew that its spiritual energy was very strong, other than that, she couldn’t see anything else.
When Green Feather saw this, it couldn’t help but feel dejected: “I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep hold of it once you discovered it. Forget it, you can have it!” After all, thinking about it, she fed it and gave it a place to stay, it wasn’t unreasonable to give her the bead. Even though they weren’t contracted, she still counted as half a Master to it. What’s more, it has been guarding this bead for more than half a year and it hasn’t seen any other effects.
“Alright, let’s all go out!” She put the bead away inside the folds of her sleeve and with a flick of her sleeves, she took them out.
In a blink of an eye, they appeared in the room and Old White rushed out first and shouted excitedly: “Leng Shuang Beauty! Come and look! I’ve advanced! I have turned into a dragon!”
Of course as soon as it flew out, it was bounced back by the boundary barrier and fell into the courtyard. Cloud Devouring walked over slowly from behind it and glanced at it: “You’ve turned into a dragon but you still can’t change your habits. Can’t you see that Master has put up boundary barriers and enchantments around the courtyard? You’ve got no brains dashing around like that.”
Old White opened its mouth and stared but in the end, it said nothing. It could only wait by the side till Master came out.
Not long after, Feng Jiu walked out from the room and with a wave of her hand, she removed the boundary barriers and enchantments. At the same time she instructed them to tell Leng Shuang to come to see her.
The few beasts rushed out and Old White told the Feng Guards excitedly about its advancement. Fire Phoenix flew around and inspected everything while Cloud Devouring walked into the forest unhurriedly. Even Green Feather clucked and flapped its wings and flew away. Only Little Black sat in the courtyard and stared blankly.
After a while, everyone knew that Feng Jiu had come out of seclusion, they all smiled when they heard this news.
It was good that she had come out of seclusion. They had been worried this past half a year.
“Master.” Both siblings Leng Shuang and Leng Hua came to the courtyard. When they saw their Master standing there in a red dress, their eyes brightened and a glint of surprise flashed across their eyes.
They hadn’t seen their Master for half a year and it seemed that her aura had undergone a great change. The breath of her whole body seemed to dissolve into the space between heaven and earth. If you didn’t ascertain it carefully, you wouldn’t notice the existence of her breath at all.
However, what was also strange was that though the aura on her body was very strong, it seemed to have changed drastically.
