Jun Wen was nearly driven mad with anger!
Being treated unfairly among humans was one thing, but now he's even being discriminated against by a bird?!
Could it be that even when shouting "ah", Junior Sister's voice was more pleasant than his?!
The Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle fed Feng Xi several more pieces of tender meat. When she stopped eating, it patiently used its beak to groom her hair.
After grooming her properly, it turned to Jun Wen and roughly ruffled him a few times, yanking out several locks of hair.
Jun Wen grimaced in pain but didn't dare make a sound.
After tidying up the two little "chicks", the Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle ate the remaining demon-beast meat, then tucked Feng Xi and Jun Wen under its wings and fell asleep.
Jun Wen didn't dare move at all, only hoping that once the Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle woke up, it would hurry away.
Finally, the Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle woke up.
It cried out a few times, and Feng Xi immediately nodded.
Jun Wen, seeing this, foolishly nodded along as well.
The Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle gave Jun Wen a look of disdain and flew away.
Once the Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle's figure disappeared, Jun Wen finally let out a long breath.
"It finally left! Almost scared me to death!
Little Junior Sister, how did you know that if we opened our mouths and said 'ah', it would treat us like its chicks?"
Feng Xi said, "Don't baby birds usually do that?"
Jun Wen: "...The key point is that we don't look like birds at all!"
"Fifth Senior Brother, look. There are lots of broken eggshell fragments in the gaps of this nest. I suspect that not long ago, chicks hatched here.
But for some reason, they died.
Some demon birds or demon beasts, after losing their young, will transfer that maternal instinct onto the young of other species.
That's why I tried this idea."
Actually, the reason Feng Xi's method succeeded also had another very important factor, that was the little black ball.
It's the Spirit of Chaos, which naturally gave living beings a sense of affinity.
Because Feng Xi had formed a contract with it, she would also, to some extent, cause humans or demon beasts to feel close to her.
That's also why the Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle favored her and disliked Jun Wen.
After hearing this, Jun Wen was filled with admiration!
If he had fallen into this bird nest by himself, he would probably already be inside the Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle's stomach!
"Little Junior Sister, what do we do next? We can't just keep pretending to be baby chicks here, right?"
The cliff was extremely steep, nearly vertical to the ground. Climbing down was clearly unrealistic.
Feng Xi rummaged through her storage ring and took out a large piece of fabric, something she had obtained when splitting the spoils from Lu Xiuhan.
She simply processed the fabric into a parachute shape.
Then she said to the little black ball, "You turn into mist and hold this umbrella up. Try to slow the descent as much as possible, understand?"
The little black ball knew this wasn't the time to put on airs. If they delayed too long and that Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle came back, it would be disastrous.
So it readily agreed.
After everything was prepared, Feng Xi and Jun Wen grabbed the ropes beneath the parachute and jumped out of the nest.
Before jumping, Feng Xi also picked up a few Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle feathers and stored them in her storage ring.
Jun Wen thought that following her lead was definitely right, so he also picked up a few and put them into his own storage ring.
The little black ball was quite reliable. Although the descent speed was a bit fast, they ultimately landed safely on the ground.
The first thing Feng Xi and Jun Wen did after landing was use cleansing techniques.
Feng Xi did it to remove the Golden-Winged Iron-Feathered Eagle's scent markings from them, while Jun Wen did it purely because of his cleanliness obsession.
After they finished cleaning up, Jun Wen asked Feng Xi, "Little Junior Sister, which way should we go?"
Feng Xi didn't know where Jiang Ji was either, so she casually pointed in a direction, "Let's go that way!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little black ball darted out.
It bounced and hopped along, clearly in an excellent mood.
It felt incredibly awesome!
That damn brat always says I'm useless, now she should be convinced, right?!
If not for me, could you have found the teleportation array in the pool?
If not for me, could you have landed safely on the ground?
If I didn't exist in this world, the sky would collapse!
Feng Xi called out to it several times, telling it to return to the Blood Demon Clan Order, but it pretended not to hear her.
Then its divine sense suddenly throbbed with pain.
Feng Xi said coldly, "Get back here!"
This time, the little black ball stopped showing off and slunk back into the jade token.
Jun Wen felt like the little black ball's drooping, dejected appearance was a bit pitiful, but pity aside, he also knew that a thing like the little black ball, which pushed its luck at every opportunity, absolutely couldn't be indulged.
It's only because it had met little junior sister. If it was anyone else, they would've been bullied to death by it long ago!
After walking for about half an hour, cries for help came from the distance.
Feng Xi had a very good memory and recognized that the voice belonged to an independent cultivator who had entered the secret realm.
"Fifth Senior Brother, let's go take a look!"
Jun Wen nodded in agreement without even asking.
It didn't matter if his brain wasn't good, it's enough as long as he listened.
Whatever little junior sister told him to do, he would do it. It definitely wouldn't go wrong.
When they got closer, they saw that an independent cultivator named Tian Qing was being surrounded and attacked by three Black-Patterned Jackals.
Jun Wen and Feng Xi immediately joined the fight.
A quarter of an hour later, all three Black-Patterned Jackals were killed.
While swallowing a hemostasis pill, Tian Qing thanked Feng Xi and Jun Wen.
To be honest, he had always thought that the direct disciples of the four major sects were very arrogant, one could even say cold and heartless.
He hadn't expected that these two direct disciples of Xuantian Sect would actually step in to help.
Feng Xi said with a smile, "Daoist friend, cultivators of the Northern Region are all one family. There's no need to be so polite.
I see you're badly injured, why not meditate here to recover? We'll stand guard for you."
Tian Qing was even more moved, his eyes turning red.
Jun Wen looked up at the sky. Experience told him that little junior sister was probably about to stir up trouble again!
After meditating for half an hour, Tian Qing stood up and thanked them again.
"Immortal Feng Xi, Young Hero Jun, I'm mostly recovered now, so I won't delay your important business.
Such great kindness cannot be repaid with words. I, Tian Qing, will surely repay this favor in the future!"
Feng Xi said with a smile, "There's no need to wait for the future, you can repay it right now."
Tian Qing: "..."
