Chapter 437: The Meaning of Pigeon Birth Is Just Going to Yu Ling Long for Some Popcorn
“Don’t say anything just yet.”
Yun Yue Yao raised her hand to stop Bai Feng from speaking, then slowly clambered onto his bed, nosing around and sniffing softly.
After pondering for a moment, she found her answer: “Is it Tian Yan? Where did she run off to now? Under the bed?”
“Wow, your nose is really sharp…” Bai Feng aveva a speechless tone, “She went into her ring. Since she’s been helping me take care of the herbal medicines, I gave her permission to come and go from the ring.”
“A ring?”
Yun Yue Yao immediately thought of something. No wonder she hadn’t seen Tian Yan lately—she’d probably snuck inside the ring.
That sneaky girl. It’s hard to imagine how many times Tian Yan has secretly snuck out or in just to steal a snack from the ring!
Thinking of this, she gradually peeked out half her head from under the quilt and looked at Bai Feng: “Darling, could you also give me permission to come and go from the ring?”
“It’s possible, but what do you plan to do?”
“I just want to be with you all the time.”
“…”
Finally, Bai Feng couldn’t take Yun Yue Yao’s spoiled little acts anymore and granted her permission to access the ring.
“As long as you touch me, you can go in and out freely.”
“Got it, I’ll remember.”
Yun Yue Yao nodded, but she didn’t rush into the ring. Instead, she kept hugging Bai Feng and rested there.
“Do you want to try now?”
“Not right now.”
Yun Yue Yao shook her head. Being able to sleep with Bai Feng was precious enough—she wouldn’t waste that time on ring access.
Just then, the window that Yun Yue Yao had closed reopened.
But instead of rushing into the ring, Yun Yue Yao stuck her head out alongside Bai Feng to look at the window again.
White Feather Mo just casually flipped herself in, and straight away saw Yun Yue Yao sprawled in Bai Feng’s blanket.
“Sure enough, you’re here.”
White Feather Mo frowned slightly, suspecting that Yun Yue Yao wouldn’t be obediently staying put.
“Aren’t I sleeping with my darling pretty normally?” Yun Yue Yao said proudly, hugging Bai Feng.
White Feather Mo pouted slightly but didn’t argue. She quickly walked to the bed and got into the covers too.
Of course, Bai Feng’s bed was big enough for three people. Otherwise, it’d be a squeeze.
‘Hopefully, no one else will come in next…’
Bai Feng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking this.
But knowing Yu Yao, she probably wouldn’t have the nerve to climb in through the window at night.
……
“Little Junior Brother, when are we going to visit Yu Ling Long?” Yu Yao pushed open the door and stepped in, asking Bai Feng, who was lost in thought about what to eat.
“Yawn… Maybe now? Perfect time for breakfast too. I remember there’s a decent restaurant serving fried dishes,” he yawned, not bothering to explain why Bai Feather Mo hadn’t made breakfast—she was still asleep, and he didn’t want to wake her.
“Sounds good!” Yu Yao nodded, then looked at Bai Feng and asked, “Little Junior Brother, didn’t you rest last night?”
“Nope,” Bai Feng shook his head.
“Then after eating, let’s go to Yu Ling Long to take a short break,” Yu Yao suggested smiling.
“Alright.”
Soon, Bai Feng and Yu Yao sat at a window table, leisurely eating their breakfast.
“Senior Sister, was your sleep good last night?”
“Actually, I was cultivating last night. Not everyone can upgrade as quickly as you,” Yu Yao scooped some stir-fried meat into her mouth slowly. “Sigh, even though my talent is better than yours, why is my cultivation speed so much slower?”
“Those kinds of opportunities are hard to explain,” Bai Feng casually replied.
“Little Junior Brother…”
“What, Senior Sister?”
“I want to cultivate faster…” Yu Yao’s face blushed faintly, and her eyes secretly stared at Bai Feng.
“After we’re done with our chores, we’ll go cultivate.”
“Mm…” Yu Yao nodded with a shy face.
Meanwhile.
“Finally, we’re in Blue Rainbow City.”
Qiao Qiao stepped down from the flying boat, dressed in a fancy pink skirt with intricate decorations, looking wildly out of place among the surroundings.
“Is this really okay? Me in this outfit?”
You Su Rong Rong also disembarked from the flying boat, eyeing her white blouse and black suit jacket. She knew which book her clothes came from now—though they weren’t as revealing as others, she still felt a tad uncomfortable wearing such clothes to meet Bai Feng.
“Don’t worry, this outfit was recommended by Bai Feng,” she assured.
“…Actually, I’m even less at ease now,” You Su Rong Rong sighed. From what she knew, Qiao Qiao hadn’t told Bai Feng she’d pick out her clothes, and maybe she just chose a few from her favorite spring and autumn books for Bai Feng to pick from.
Let’s hope everything goes smoothly from here…
“This thing is so slow, I might as well have flown you over myself!” Ling Lan grumbled, carrying a big bucket of popcorn while shoving some into her mouth.
“Forget it. Your kind of flying isn’t for everyone,” Qiao Qiao said. She had once tried it out of curiosity and nearly vomited to the point of passing out. The pigeon’s flying method was just too terrifying.
Then she looked at the big bucket of popcorn in Ling Lan’s arms, curious and asking, “How much popcorn did you bring? Aren’t you going to eat some fries?”
“Fries? What smelly fish and rotten shrimp? Nothing beats popcorn,” Ling Lan scoffed, grabbing another handful and stuffing it into her mouth. “Actually, let me revise what I just said—the true purpose of pigeons’ birth is to come to Yu Ling Long for popcorn.”
…Sometimes I really envy how easygoing you pigeons are.
Qiao Qiao shook her head helplessly. Then she turned to look at Blue Rainbow City and said, “Let’s go. Bai Feng already gave me the restaurant’s address. We’ll just head there directly.”
……
“We seem to be done for as the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan,” a white-haired old man with a long white beard sighed. “Maybe Qing Qiu was right.”
“What are you saying? We’re not dead yet!” another slightly younger old man frowned.
“But more and more wounded are showing up. The Grand Elder is seriously injured and still unconscious.”
“Those snakes are still demanding the same condition?”
“Yeah. They want us to join them, and they only gave us three days to decide. But who knows their real purpose? Look at those yokai forced into the bl**d Snake Clan—almost all of them are devoured or turned into slaves.”
“If Qing Qiu hadn’t gone to the Northern Region, we wouldn’t be in this mess…”
Before he could finish, the eldest old man raised his hand to cut him off. “Alright, enough. Our three clans are just temporarily allied because of external threats. Even if they were here, they’d only last a few more days. Besides, I think it’s good they’re leaving. If something happens to us, at least the clan won’t be wiped out.”
“It’s unlikely. We’ve survived so many crises—I believe we’ll get through this too. Best case, we just join the human alliance.”
“If we’re going to join the humans, better yet, follow that Nine-Tailed Fox Lord in the Northern Region!”
Seeing everyone start to argue again, the old man coughed softly and said, “Send the younger generations out first. Whether it’s to the human cities or to the Northern Region—just get them out safely.”
Everyone looked at each other, then nodded in agreement: “Understood.”
