Volume 1 Chapter 37: The Unlucky Peacock

  "Which little brat dares to come to this king's territory and cause trouble?" The giant white tiger appeared, and then let out a loud roar.

  Unfortunately, it was thoroughly ignored by everyone and all the beasts, because now everyone's and every beast's attention was almost focused on Bai Xue and Feng Zhan's body, and in each person's or beast's eyes, an excited look flowed out...

  "You damned bird, how dare you burn my butt! You're really asking for it!" Bai Xue shouted angrily, gritting his teeth in pain.

  "Hmph, I'm not helping you out!" Feng Zhan said nonchalantly, although this little kitten's strength was above his, however, he wasn't afraid of it at all, and provoking it was also one of his hobbies, heh!

  "Who wants you to help, you damn thing, I won't let you go!" Bai Xue glared at Feng Zhan with a fierce gaze, shouting angrily. Humph! If this dead bird weren't the master's beast, he would have plucked its feathers long ago!

  "Wow, are they going to fight? Let's get a small stool and watch the excitement!" The old man said, and he really took out a small stool and a small table from his ring, and then filled it with dried fruits and snacks, waiting for the show to begin!

  Lin Liang and others, as well as the beasts, all followed the example of the old man. Those who had stools sat on them, while those without stools sat directly on the table...

  The two senior servants, Da Guanjia and Er Guanjia, simultaneously wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, thinking to themselves: "You guys are really brave! That white tiger is right next to us, staring at us menacingly, yet you're still enjoying the commotion. However, they didn't dare to be as careless as Lao Tou and others, but rather slightly divided their attention, keeping an eye on Bai Xue while also closely watching the white tiger that had appeared a moment ago.

  "Which little bastard dares to come to this king's territory and stir up trouble?" White Tiger, seeing no one responding for half a day, was stunned, then roared again!

  "Shut up!" Feng Zhan and Bai Xu shouted in unison as they glared at each other.

  "Huh!" The White Tiger was taken aback, what's going on here? They actually dare to shut him up, how big is their nerve! Humph! Aren't they just a bird and a little kitten? How dare they command the great Tiger King! This is outrageous!

  "Dead bird, if the master didn't forbid us from fighting, I'd have taken you down by now!" White Xu said with a scowl after staring for a while, his eyes getting tired.

  "Dead cat, you want to pick on me? You've got to have the skills for that!" Feng Zhan said fearlessly and provocatively. Heh heh, it knew this kitty wouldn't dare do anything to him, precisely because it had its master as a backing, so it dared to bully this little cat without any qualms!

  "Dead bird, you wait, I'll go back and apply to the master for a duel with you!" Bai Xue said, suppressing his anger.

  "Alright, alright, we'll wait." Feng Zhan said with a sly smile, enough to infuriate someone to death!

  "Alas! Bai is excited, it seems that they can't fight after all." Old Man Zhao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at the sight, originally thinking he could see an exciting battle between the two. Who knew these two little ones didn't even dare to start fighting? Alas, Lian's family education is indeed excellent!

  "Hehe, they're afraid of making their cute master angry!" The baby said matter-of-factly, but in fact, it was also very afraid of its master getting angry... When the cute master got angry, it would ignore it!

  "Hmm, when that girl gets angry, it's a bit terrifying." The old man also said with some lingering fear.

  "Damn it, who is this little bastard daring to make trouble on my turf?" At this time, the White Tiger, which had come back to its senses, spoke again. It felt extremely depressed and its self-esteem was severely hurt because, having lived for so long, it had never been treated as if it were air before, and this was its first time!

  The two housekeepers looked at the white tiger that had been ignored for a long time with great sympathy, and their pity for it was like a continuous river! Ah! It's indeed the most pitiful challenger!

  "Nima, if you don't speak up, no one will think you're mute!" Bai Xuhuo roared in anger, and if this white tiger didn't make a sound, he was so angry that he almost forgot the thing existed.

  "Hey, dare to interrupt our conversation? You're asking for death!" Feng Zhan also roared, in his heart equally dissatisfied with this white tiger who didn't know how to read the atmosphere!

  As they spoke, Bai Xue and Feng Zhan tacitly pounced on the white tiger, thinking that since they couldn't fight each other, beating up an outsider was perfectly fine! So, the poor white tiger became their common punching bag.

  "Come on! Haha, beat it!" The old man cheered excitedly, although he couldn't see the tiger and phoenix fighting, but a group fight was also acceptable!

  Feng Zhan and Bai Xu, one on the ground and one in the sky, one punching and one spitting fire, attacked from top to bottom, beating that white tiger to cower and flee, with nowhere to hide...

  "Wow, big brother, this little red bird is also so perverted!" The second housekeeper said in a low voice with a hint of sympathy after seeing the miserable state of the giant white tiger. Two small beasts that were camouflaged had beaten up a white tiger that was still in its true form to the point where it couldn't find its way north, just how perverted are these two small beasts?! He knew that cat was a white tiger, but what about that little bird, he wasn't clear about that!

  "Eh! Yes!" The butler's forehead was sweating, and he thought to himself that these two beasts were really terrifying. Fortunately, they weren't beating him up; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the white tiger's strong body to withstand it.

  After being beaten for a long time, the giant white tiger lay on the ground and was about to die. It saw that it tightly hugged its own head with its two front paws, and its mouth still said: "I admit defeat, I admit defeat."

  However, Feng Zhan and Bai Xu remained oblivious until they had vented enough and were exhausted, only then did they stop, and the white tiger managed to save its life!

  "Oh my, it's really pitiful, how did you get beaten up so badly!" The old man walked over to the white tiger with a hint of schadenfreude, patted its massive body, and said sympathetically.

  "Ah!" The old man's slap, although not very heavy, was fatal to the white tiger who had suffered severe internal and external injuries!

  "Wo... you're bullying me!" The old man looked at the white tiger with a face full of grievances and complained.

  "I... I didn't, you hurt me!" The white tiger was so angry it almost vomited blood, but facing a strong enemy that could take its life, it had to explain itself. Who made them travel together? So many people and beasts bullying it alone, how cruel!

  "Oh, is it very painful?" The old man knew the consultant's way and deliberately patted him down to verify the truth of what the white tiger had said.

  "Ow, it hurts so much! Stop hitting me!" The White Tiger said in a weak and powerless tone, its heart bleeding.

  "It would be better if you surrendered earlier and suffered less physical pain." The old man said, standing upright without any waist discomfort.

  "Wooo... I've already surrendered, but they're still beating me!" The white tiger's copper bell-like eyes were filled with tears, pitifully protesting.

  "I'm saying, why don't you just admit defeat as soon as you come out? But no, you're still over there acting all smug, saying 'Which junior dares to cause trouble on my turf?' Haha! You call yourself the king in front of them, it's a wonder you didn't get beaten up!" The old man laughed maniacally.

  "Ugh..." The White Tiger choked, thinking to itself that it was also the king of the mountain! What's wrong with calling itself "Your Majesty"? Ugh... Its biggest mistake was not checking the feng shui before leaving home today and running into two jinxes!

  "Alright, don't be too hard on yourself. Our family's beasts are notoriously abnormal, so it's not unjust that you lost to them." Old Man Zhao comforted kindly, but his words infuriated the cold and snowy beasts!

  "You old scoundrel, who are you calling a pervert!" White Xu, still fuming with anger, asked fiercely.

  "Ah! Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, it's terrible!" The old man hastily corrected himself and looked at Bai Xue with a fearful face... He didn't have that white tiger to resist the beating!

  "Hey, from now on you're my little brother, got it? You have to listen to me!" Bai Lao Tou gave a glance, and with his small paws pointing at the heavily injured giant white tiger, he commanded.

  "Yes, boss!" White Tiger said very obediently, how dare he disobey?

  "Swallow this." Bai Xue tossed a pellet of medicine to the white tiger.

  The White Tiger opened its big mouth and swallowed the small pellet of medicine, then exclaimed in extreme surprise: "Huh? My injuries have all healed!"

  "Alright, let's continue!" Bai Xu said, ignoring the white tiger's shock and looking at the housekeeper.

  "Hmm, okay." The butler was speechless. This was too easy! He hadn't even had to lift a finger, and those two beasts were already taken care of!

  "Where are we going, boss?" asked Baihu, fully recovered from his injuries and full of curiosity.

  "Go on and expand our territory! Seeing those three mountains, my master said that we should make them all our territory." Bai Xu said, lying on top of the white tiger's big head.

  "Oh, that's easy, heh heh, Boss, those two bears are my good friends, as long as I say a word to them, they will naturally offer their territory." White Tiger said confidently.

  "Are you sure?" Bai Xue asked in a low voice, thinking about whether to fight the two bears again. However, the big silly bear's defenses were all very abnormal.

  "Yes, I have a favor from them, so as long as I say a word, they will definitely listen to me." Bai Hu explained.

  "Alright then, you're in charge." Bai Xue patted the white tiger's big head with her small paw and said.

  "No problem." Bai Hu agreed very succinctly, heh heh, unexpectedly just acknowledging an old superior and immediately having a chance to make meritorious deeds.

  Everyone and all the beasts came to the foot of two adjacent mountain peaks, this is the territory of the two bear-like super divine beasts, because they are brothers, so the mountains they chose are also close together.

  After arriving at the foot of the mountain, White Tiger didn't say another word and directly shouted loudly: "Big Fur, Second Fur, guests are coming!"

  Leng Qingtian and others heard Bai Hu's words, and they all subconsciously slid down several black lines on their foreheads. However, before they could think wildly, they heard a loud "Boom! Boom! Boom!" like an earthquake coming from the mountain, followed by two over 10-meter-tall yellowish-brown giant bears running out of two mountains...

  "Big White, how did you come?" one of the giant bears asked in a thick and dull tone.

  "I've come here for something, of course!" said White Tiger.

  "What's going on? Speak quickly, so we can go back to sleep," said another giant bear.

  "It's like this, my master has taken a liking to your territory, so can you guys let it go?" White Tiger asked in a gentle and negotiable tone.

  "Let it out? Where are we going to go?" The giant bear who spoke first couldn't help but ask, it didn't get angry with the white tiger's words, but instead felt extremely anxious, because if they let out the territory they occupied, then the brothers would have nowhere to go!

  "You can be with me! Recognize my old man as the boss." White Tiger said after some thought.

  "Who's your boss?" The two bears looked down curiously and asked the white tiger condescendingly.

  "It's me, the big boss." Bai Xu said lazily.

  "Huh!" The two giant bears were stunned, then they all looked at the white tiger in disbelief and said: "Dàbái! You've fallen, how can you acknowledge a kitten as your master?"

  "What the, open your bear eyes and take a good look, I'm not a cat!" Bai Xuhuo roared in anger. It was really frustrating that humans thought it was a cat, but now even the beasts thought it was a cat too. Couldn't they feel its majestic aura?!

  "Look closely, you're a cat everywhere." The two bears carefully sized up Bai Xue and said with great certainty.

  "Haha! Haha!" The Phoenix next to Feng Zhan exaggeratedly laughed, still using its small wings to point at Bai Xu, as if wanting to say something!

  "Damn it, you're looking for death!" Bai Xue was furious, and with his arch-nemesis mocking him from the side, his anger instantly surged several times over!

  "Big brother, big brother! Calm down! They didn't mean to!" White Tiger hastily pleaded, his heart racing with fear. Actually, when he first saw Big Brother, he thought Big Brother was just a little kitten too, and he was very puzzled because he had clearly heard the unfamiliar tiger's roar. Later, after being beaten up by Big Brother and that little red bird, he finally came to his senses... alas, it was just that his experience was too limited, these two were not people he could afford to mess with!

  "Hmph! This time, I'll let you off the hook, but if there's a next time, don't think you'll get off so lightly!" Bai Xu said calmly, flicking his eyelids.

  "Thanks, boss!" White Tiger was delighted. Hehe, unexpectedly, the boss actually gave him face like this.

  "Big fur, second fur, don't talk nonsense, my eldest brother is very formidable." White Tiger thanked White Xu and hurriedly said to his two friends, "Hiss! Good luck!"

  "Really?" The two bears were half-believing and half-doubtful, without realizing that their own lives had just been in danger!

  "Don't you even believe what I say? Am I still going to cheat you?" White Tiger roared, his heart so anxious that it was almost on fire!

  "Heh heh, don't worry, come on, have this to eat!" The old man said with a smile, and took out two corns, stuffing them into the giant bears' huge paws!

  "What is this?" asked Da Mao and Er Mao with puzzled faces full of question marks.

  "Is this your favorite food, corn?" The old man hastily said that when he was on the Lingfeng Continent, he seemed to have heard the young lady say that bears liked to eat corn the most. Why did these two seem unfamiliar?

  Actually, these two bears didn't know each other because they had never seen this thing before, let alone eaten it. However, the unique fragrance of corn was constantly tempting their taste buds. After a while, Damao and Ermao said: "The smell seems to be pretty good."

  "Of course it's good, this is one of my favorite foods, you guys try it quickly and see if the taste is the same as what you've had before?" The old man said with a face full of expectation, his pair of sharp little eyes staring tightly at the two bears.

  Da Mao and Er Mao hesitated, unsure whether they should eat it or not. But that flavor was really tempting...

  For the old man's behavior, both stewards were speechless, thinking to themselves: "This old man won't be planning to use those two corns to hook up with these two bears, will he?" How is that possible?! Neither of them believed that those two corns would have such great charm. However, after a moment, they realized they were wrong and too ignorant, as it turned out that in this world there really are beasts that would give up their own territory for two corns!

  In the end, the two cats couldn't resist the temptation of the corn's fragrance and ate the corn in their hands, becoming captives of the corn...

  "That... if we give up our land and follow you, can you give us an ear of corn every day?" After a long time, the two bears hesitated and stated their conditions, strongly demanding to follow the old man.

  "No problem, corn! You can have as much as you want." Old Zhao said happily, heh heh, these two young brothers are not bad, they're even willing to serve as cushions when they're tired!

  "We're willing to give up our territory to you." The two finally gave in, and even bowed down for corn! Became the free punching bag of the old villain.

  "Big Fluffy, Second Fluffy, you two have really broken my heart!" White Tiger complained with a sullen face, feeling utterly humiliated. Alas, it had boasted in front of the big boss that as long as it stepped forward, Big Fluffy and Second Fluffy would definitely give up their territory. Unfortunately, despite all its boasts, which were so convincing that they left everyone's mouth watering, they didn't even compare to those two miserable corn cobs that old man brought out... Waaah! Its dignity was wounded!

  "Dà bái, didn't we agree?!" èr Máo was somewhat perplexed. Dà Bái had brought these people here for the sake of their territory, hadn't he? Now that they'd all agreed, what was there for Dà Bái to be sad about? It was truly incomprehensible!

  "It's not because of me that you agreed." said White Tiger discontentedly.

  "Hmm! It's also related to you!" Er Mao said with a sigh in his heart.

  "Heh heh, Big White, of course you have your credit too. If it wasn't for you bringing us here, we probably would've started fighting directly." Old Man Rotten said with a flattering tone.

  "So, I've made quite a contribution, haha!" Bai Hu said with some pride.

  "Hmm?" Bai Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and responded with a somewhat displeased "hmm".

  "Eh! Boss, we can go to the next mountain now!" White Tiger hastily said with a quivering voice.

  "Housekeeper, are we continuing today?" Bai Xue asked softly. The master had given them three days' time, and now they were just one mountain away from their goal.

  "Continue!" The butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, it's not even half a day yet, and we've already received three mountain peaks, ah! What efficiency!

  "Then let's set off!" said Bai Xue.

  The last mountain was a bit further away, and the crowd and the beasts walked for about an hour, circling around, before finally arriving at the foot of the mountain.

  "What a small mountain! What kind of beast can be the master of this mountain?" The old man asked curiously, looking at the mountain in front of him. This mountain was the smallest among the five surrounding mountains, so he guessed that its master probably wouldn't be a particularly large beast either.

  "It seems like a bird." Da Mao looked at Feng Zhan with some uncertainty, as he wasn't very familiar with the beasts in this mountain.

  "Dead bird, did you hear? It's your kind." Bai Xu slightly raised his eyelids and said provocatively.

  "Hum! Who says birds are my peers, stupid dead cat!" Feng Zhan retorted, the two beasts facing off, ready to clash again.

  However, this time those who wanted to see a lively scene were disappointed, because Feng Zhan and Bai Xu only said one sentence, and then they ignored each other.

  "We need to think of a way to lure the master out." Suddenly, the butler spoke up, but his words quickly received cold stares from everyone and all the beasts, because in the eyes of all people and beasts, what he said was simply nonsense. Who didn't know that?!

  "Alright, steward, this task is now in your hands." The old man patted the steward's shoulder, looking as if he was entrusting him with a great responsibility.

  "Hmm, okay then!" The butler said with some helplessness, he took a few more steps towards the foot of the mountain, and then, all his momentum was released, and a mysterious power shot out towards the middle of the mountain...

  His purely provocative behavior soon had an effect, and in the blink of an eye, a beautiful bird with five-colored light emerged from the mountain. Everyone took a closer look and found that it was a peacock. The peacock was about two meters tall, with delicate feathers and exceptionally beautiful plumage. A pair of glass-like eyes stared coldly at the butler.

  "You and I have always been like well water that doesn't flow into the river, you're not content with staying in your own den of thieves, yet you come to provoke me, how infuriating!" The peacock said in extreme anger, its crystal-like eyes seeming to spout fire!

  "Do you recognize me?" The butler said somewhat foolishly, he still thought these beasts only liked to sleep, unexpectedly this peacock actually recognized him!

  "Hum! You're the stupidest and most foolish bandit I've ever seen. Which of these mountain beasts doesn't know you?" said Peacock nonchalantly.

  "Hmm!" The butler was depressed, unexpectedly finding himself so famous!

  "Haha! Great steward, I didn't expect your reputation to be so loud!" The old man burst into a rude and scornful laughter.

  Others and beasts also smiled happily with their mouths open, only none of them were as exaggerated as Old Man Jiāo.

  "Haha! Old Feng, your beast has a companion now." After laughing enough, Laozi patted the shoulder of the old patriarch of the Feng family and said.

  "Hmm, Sparrow Feathers, come out!" The Great Elder nodded and then summoned his own beast. Peacock-type beasts were extremely rare.

  "Hey, Sparrow! Your master has found a wife for you!" The old man looked at the sparrow, which was about the same size as the peacock, and said with a sly smile, he actually started randomly pointing out the mandarin duck pattern!

  "You damned old man, tell me again, who is the wife?" The peacock heard the old man's words and immediately burst into a furious roar! Originally, it was rare to see its own kind, and it was quite happy, but the old man's words made it completely crazy!

  "Hey! You're a woman! You gotta be gentle, otherwise our family's sparrow won't like you." The old man said with a serious tone.

  "Uh!" Sparrow's forehead was covered with black lines, speechless!

  "Damn it, I'm a rooster, you're the hen!" The beautiful peacock was so angry that its whole body was about to burst into flames, but good breeding still made it hold back the urge to tear this stinky old man apart!

  "Huh? Are you sure?" The old man asked with some doubt, his heart couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Alas! Such a beautiful bird is actually male, this is really too depressing!

  "Nonsense! Don't I know my own gender?" The beautiful peacock shouted in exasperation.

  "Calm down, calm down, and what about you?" The old man's gaze turned to Sparrow again, with a full face of expectation, he really wanted to send these two beautiful birds as gifts.

  "I'm also public." Chōei hastily said.

  "Oh, actually, both are fine..." The old man leered with a sly smile, eyeing the two equally beautiful peacocks, and intentionally left his words half-spoken.

  "No way! You tell me, what are you doing here?" The beautiful peacock's eyes were wide with anger, asking fiercely.

  "We've got our eyes on this mountain of yours! I don't know..." The old man's words were cut off by the peacock.

  "If I let you have this mountain, how far can you roll?" The beautiful peacock looked at the old man with disdain and said, it really hated this old man now. If it weren't for the other side having more people, it would definitely take care of this dead old man first.

  "Do you despise me? Waa... I'm really heartbroken!" The old man was wronged, his eyes were even redder.

  "Are you really willing to give us the mountain voluntarily?" The steward asked incredulously, ignoring the old man's pitiful appearance. What was going on today? These beasts were unexpectedly one more garrulous than the other.

  "Alright, I'll give it to you." The beautiful peacock said, humph! It wasn't stupid, these people were obviously determined to get what they wanted. If a fight broke out, the peacock would definitely be no match for them. What was the point of fighting? It wasn't like it had nothing better to do after eating its fill. After speaking, it flew up directly, preparing to leave the area. Unfortunately, before it could fly too high, it was knocked unconscious by Feng Zhan...

  "Then just make me your junior from now on!" Feng Zhan flapped his small wings and said lightly.

  Hiss! The butler broke out in a cold sweat again, this little red bird is really too savage, it can actually knock out the giant bird that's over two meters tall, impressive!

  "Carry it for me, let's head back to the mountain stronghold!" Feng Zhan ordered the two stewards.

  "Yes." The two stewards replied obediently.

  So, the troops returned to their stronghold with fanfare after completing their mission, while the two stewards resignedly carried that unfortunate peacock and followed behind... After successfully incorporating four more mountains into their territory, the head steward no longer dared to underestimate these beasts. Although they appear cute and harmless on the surface, in reality, none of them are energy-efficient lamps, uh! To put it accurately, they're all perverts!
