Chapter 152 “Phoenix Talent”
Although he’s unable to procure the carps off her hand, Sir Qing nevertheless didn’t blame Ling Yue . As a fellow martialist, he understands full well that one would want to keep them for their own use .
Regardless of his grand gesture, Sir Qing didn’t forget to snatch up the remaining “unknown eggs” in this shop . He’s not going to miss the chance to get something good after witnessing something so outstanding .
A super rich is a super rich, Ling Yue can only shake her head at the squandering of others .
Before leaving the pet shop, Ling Yue also bought some spirit insects of the butterfly and bee variety .
“Thank you Sir Qing for your generosity today . If you have time, please visit me and my sister’s restaurant . It’s called the Drunken Immortal and it’s grand opening is happening very soon . If you visit and state my name, you can enjoy a fifty percent discount . ” Taking this opportunity while in the presence of a walking bank like Sir Qing, she attempts to woo some business for her restaurant .
“I be sure to make a visit on the grand opening . ” Exchanging some more pleasantries between themselves, Sir Qing eventually went his separate ways .
“Ling Yue, we have to thank you for today . ” Feng Xue and Liu Cheng still have trouble believing all the fantastic things that occured today .
“No need to be so polite with me . By helping you two in the Grand Martial Hall is equal to helping myself . From now on we are of the same boat . ” Ling Yue had always been a good judge of character .
Liu Cheng and Feng Xue are both honest and trustworthy people . As for their fathers, they are also honest and incorruptible officials of the court . Going on these points alone, Ling Yue believes they are great allies to have if she wishes to keep a firm hold in this city .
Then taking two bottles from her pockets, Ling Yue hands them over to the two . “These two bottles contain some blue pattern Xuan Yin Dan pills I concocted . Both of you need to improve your strengths as soon as possible . Remember, only by becoming stronger can we survive in the Grand Martial Hall . ” Her gesture now was her way of showing her trust towards them .
Once back in the Lan House, Ling Yue quickly transported herself into the Red Mist Sky to transfer the carps into the rainbow creek . In the water, the carps were merrily swimming around .
Not forgetting she bought the insects too, she releases the bees and butterflies into the air .
This form of mass releasing continued for the next few days as the spirit beasts slowly arrived from the pet shop in batches . Everything ended up in the Red Mist Sky of course .
All of a sudden, Ling Yue’s dimensional space had become quite lively with a vibrant feel to it .
Finding so many new friends to keep him company, Big Yellow started to run around the place in great excitement .
Back when Ling Yue overheard Sir Qing owning a sanctuary for spirit beasts, she also wanted to create something similar in her pocket dimension . Though her Red Mist Sky had limited space in its current form, she’s certain its just a matter of time before the scope can be raised following each upgrade .
At this moment, her attention was drawn away by Little Squeak who squirmed over .
“Squeak~” Calling out two times, Little Squeak sounded pleased in his tone .
Ever since Little Crow popped out of her egg, Little Squeak’s been spending his days thinking of ways to teach the bird . Based on that tune, Ling Yue can guess there’s been some success along the way .
“Are you saying you’ve finally discovered Little Crow’s hidden talent?” Ling Yue curiously asks .
“Squeak!” Puffing out his chest with front arms stabbed against his waist, Little Squeak puts on a charmingly proud appearance .
“You say, we just need to tug at Little Crow’s wing and she would show her ability?”
“Squeak~” Little Squeak complacently raises his chin, confirming the question . This secret was something he discovered after spending a long time training with Little Crow .
A bit doubtful, Ling Yue had to test it out before she can believe something so silly .
“Squeak!” he calls out again and put his words into action by tugging at the bird’s wing . In a puff, Little Crow disappears under a cloud of white smoke .
“This is?” Ling Yue found her mind shorting out for a second there .
Standing there after the dispersal of the smoke was another “Little Squeak” .
“Squeak!!” Little Squeak’s gaze towards Little Crow was that of triumph and satisfaction .
Thousand Face Phoenix! This black bird from head to toe was in fact a very rare, and highly valued Thousand Face Phoenix!
The so-called Thousand Face was a unique talent among the sacred beasts . It allows the creature in question to take on any arbitrary form without limit .
Pity though, Little Crow’s age remains on the small side . If she matures enough, she will be able to take on the appearance of anyone in existence that can’t be distinguished with the naked eye .
“And here I thought she’s an ordinary one, instead she’s the rarest of the rare . From now on you can call me mistress like Little Squeak . ” Ling Yue gently picks the bird up to receive an unexpected snuggle from Little Crow .
It seems that from Ling Yue’s body was a familiar aura which causes Little Crow to have an instinctive urge to get closer to her .
Back when Little Crow was still inside the egg and about to perish, she felt cold and desperate without hope . Then it happened . A warmth dragged her back from the depths of darkness and away from the grasps of death .
Even now, that warmth continues to linger with her, never leaving her body .
“Mistress ~ Ling ~ Yue ~” Little Crow stammers in her effort to speak .
Hearing the child like babbling, Ling Yue’s loving attachment to Little Crow skyrocketed .
Not bad! If she continues on this pace, Little Crow will definitely be able to impersonate a human one day .
“Squeak?”
Looking at the affection going back and forth between his mistress and Little Crow, Little Squeak started to wail for he just fell out of favor .
Based on what can Little Crow learn to talk after only a few days, that’s not fair! Wahhh!!!
For the next three days, the pair of Yin-Yang Carps grew quickly and started to mutate under the effects of the pocket dimension . No longer just black and white, their scales are now a rainbow shade that changes color depending on the angle . Using the improved energy gathering benefits of the carps, Ling Yue also made some advances herself . From the entry level of the lower celestial rank, she jumped into the advance level, one step away from breaking into the upper celestial realm .
Then by the tenth day, the carps started to lay eggs and out came another four pair of baby carps .
Gifting a pair to Lan Caier, Ling Yue knows her elder sister will also benefit greatly from these carps .
“Ling Yue, this is great . With these carps I will be able to go into secluded training and have a try at breaking into the Dan realm . But first, we need to attend the Ghost Festival Banquet in the palace that’s coming up . As members of the family, our attendance is required . ” Admiring the beautiful little things, Lan Caier could barely let go of them in the tub .
