Chapter 725: Outwitted by Birds
Liu Zhendong was well aware that today’s events seemed to have ended, but in reality, it was only the beginning!
Qiao Zihan received the Spirit-Enhancing Pill and was so happy that he didn’t think much about it.
However, when he returned and told the elders of the Qiao family about it, they would undoubtedly be curious about Jiang Yun’s background and identity.
The Qiao family is usually bossy and mean. When they became curious about Jiang Yun, they might try to find out more about him and even try to capture him and bring him to their family.
Even among the people watching the commotion, there were also curious ones.
Liu Zhendong knew that refusing to compensate Jiang Yun had made him upset.
Liu only couldn’t make any mistakes next. He had to make sure Jiang Yun stayed in the Liu family no matter what.
Even though resources were scarce in Dao Prison, a pharmacist was still very valuable.
Especially a pharmacist who could casually give away rare medicines without hesitation was priceless.
"Next, besides protecting Taoist Friend Gu, we must find a way to keep Taoist Friend Gu in my Liu family."
Liu Zhendong gazed towards the direction of Jiang Yun’s residence, lost in thought.
"Dad, I’m going to check on Senior Gu!"
Just then, Liu Peng’s cautious voice was heard.
He didn’t know where the courage came from just now, he dared to argue with his father, which was the first time he had ever gone against his father.
Now, as things calmed down, a bit of fear crept back into his heart, and he didn’t dare to stay by his father’s side anymore.
Upon hearing Liu Peng’s words, Liu Zhendong nodded at first, but as Liu Peng was about to leave, he suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
…
Jiang Yun returned to the courtyard, entered the cottage, then unceremoniously pulled Firebird off his shoulder and threw it aside, staring straight at it, saying, "Now, shouldn’t you explain to me?"
Firebird fearlessly met Jiang Yun’s gaze, looked around the room, and replied, "Explain what? Giving him a pill was a sign of respect, what’s there to explain!"
"Don’t pretend around me!"
Jiang Yun smirked coldly and said, "Stealing his pills was indeed showing respect, then why don’t you openly use your true form to take them, why do you have to transform like this, what is your purpose?"
"Oh!" Firebird suddenly looked straight at Jiang Yun and asked, "Do you still have the elixirs with you?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Yun opened his palm and revealed a large handful of elixirs, over a hundred of them. Firebird couldn’t stop salivating at the sight.
Just as it was about to snatch one and eat it, Jiang Yun closed his hand and reminded, "Remember, our deal didn’t include the elixirs!"
"However, if you’re willing to tell the truth, maybe I’ll give you one for free to taste."
Jiang Yun knew Firebird’s personality very well.
In Firebird’s world, things were very simple – all it cared about was eating!
Its cultivation in the Tao Spiritual Realm was actually achieved by devouring Li Fire constantly.
Naturally, when it came to delicious food, Firebird had no resistance at all.
Even though Firebird was trying hard to control its desire for the elixir, Jiang Yun kept tempting it with the scent at its nose until it finally shouted, "Okay, okay, there’s something delicious in Peach Blossom City!"
Jiang Yun was surprised and asked, "What’s delicious there?"
"Fusang Leaves!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun suddenly understood why Firebird had agreed so willingly when he invited it to Peach Blossom City in the first place.
It turned out that Firebird had been craving those Fusang Leaves for a long time.
However, Jiang Yun was still puzzled and looked at Firebird, saying, "If you want to eat Fusang Leaves, just go straight to Peach Blossom City to eat them. Even the three major powers wouldn’t dare to stop you!"
A look of disdain appeared on Firebird’s face as it said, "Hmph, you humans wouldn’t dare stop me!"
"Why not?" Jiang Yun asked, while playing with the elixir in his hand, intentionally making a crisp sound and a stronger scent.
"Stop, stop!" Firebird shouted, "I’m not afraid of you humans, but I can’t beat that Fusang Tree!"
"If I reveal my true identity, I won’t be able to enter this valley! Alright, I’ve said it all, quickly give me a pill."
Jiang Yun was surprised again and asked, "You mean, the Fusang Tree is also a monster like you?"
"Of course, even a dead toad can turn into a monster, let alone the Fusang Tree!"
"Dead toad?" Jiang Yun was puzzled at first, then realized that Firebird was referring to the Golden Toad clan in the Reincarnation Cave…
"Anything else?"
"First, give me a pill!"
Finally, after paying the price of two pills, Jiang Yun finally learned about Firebird’s "plan" from its own mouth.
Firebird wanted to eat Fusang Leaves, but the Fusang Tree naturally refused to let it, and even if it sensed Firebird’s presence, it would not hesitate to attack.
Although Firebird had transformed into a black bird now, concealing its aura, it could indeed deceive the Fusang Tree temporarily.
But if it gets too close to the Fusang Tree, it will still be noticed by the tree.
Because Jiang Yun and Firebird spent a lot of time together, and Jiang Yun also absorbed Li Fire to cultivate, Jiang Yun now has a similar aura to Firebird.
So Firebird thought of sneaking into Peach Blossom City with Jiang Yun, letting Jiang Yun attract the attention of the Fusang Tree, while Firebird could sneak in to eat the Fusang Leaves.
After listening to Firebird’s plan, Jiang Yun was really left speechless, he never expected to be tricked by a Firebird!
This Firebird is really obsessed with eating, willing to do anything for a meal!
Despite Jiang Yun’s feelings, Firebird ignored them and asked, "Kid, can we change the terms of our deal and use pills instead of Beast Cores?"
"Get lost!"
Jiang Yun was beyond words with anger!
Even in the outside world, providing nine pills a day for Firebird was not an easy task for Jiang Yun, let alone in this Dao Prison.
One Spirit-Enhancing Pill almost caused a fight between two big families, but Firebird dares to eat nine pills a day!
Firebird spread its wings nonchalantly and said, "If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. It’s not like you’re the only one with pills!"
Firebird didn’t bring it up, but when it did, Jiang Yun suddenly remembered and sternly said, "Let me tell you, if you dare to sneak out and steal pills from others again, and they come looking for you, I won’t help you!"
"By then, forget about pills, you might even lose your Beast Core. And who knows, I might even send you to the Reincarnation Cave, or in front of the Fusang Tree. I think they would be happy to see you there!"
Although Jiang Yun was not afraid of trouble, he didn’t want to always clean up after Firebird.
Firebird became impatient and said, "Kid, do you still want to know where the rain of fireballs will fall?"
"I don’t want to know! Let’s call it quits!"
When Jiang Yun said this, Firebird immediately kept quiet.
In the past, it would have left directly, but after spending more than a year with Jiang Yun and consuming thousands of Beast Cores, it had gotten attached. It didn’t want to leave now.
Jiang Yun didn’t feel like going out anymore because of Firebird, so he stayed with the Liu family and didn’t go out.
After three more days passed, Liu Peng’s anxious voice could be heard outside the courtyard, "Senior Gu, please come with me quickly, people from the Qiao family have come again!"
