Chapter 199 Deception
"If I were to be tricked by you, wouldn't I have lived in vain for the past twenty thousand years?" Liu Yishu smiled and waved goodbye to the exasperated cub.
"Just wait for me!" The little cub said harshly angrily and disappeared into the sky.
"It's finally quiet!" Liu Yishu breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're the one who provoked this!" Xu Weichen said unhappily.
Liu Yishu didn't dare to say anything more and could only smile awkwardly.
"The little phoenix will not give up. Its subordinates can't keep an eye on it at all. It will come again." Xu Weichen continued.
"Come on, come on. Am I afraid of a little cub?" Liu Yishu said indifferently.
That being said, when another cub appeared outside the gate of Penglai Residence the next day, Liu Yishu's face did not look very good.
"Do you know that it's annoying for you to come here every day?" Liu Yishu asked bluntly while blocking the door.
He and Xu Weichen were in the middle of their dual cultivation when they sensed the cub's presence and were forced to interrupt their practice and go out to deal with this little troublemaker.
"You provoked me first. Now you want to cut off ties with me? No way!" The little cub held his head high and puffed out his chest, looking very proud and confident.
Today it is a little bigger than yesterday and can no longer be held in the palm of your hand.
As his body has grown, his brain capacity has probably also grown, and he is a little smarter than yesterday.
Liu Yishu denied it flatly, "Don't talk nonsense, you took the initiative to recognize your mother, I didn't force you to do it!"
"I'm the king of the feather tribe, the emperor of all birds, how could I recognize a stinky fox like you as my mother? You must have used some shady means!" The little cub crossed his wings and said disdainfully.
"Since you look down on a stinky fox like me so much, why did you come to me? Are you trying to make yourself unhappy?" Liu Yishu said sarcastically.
"I want you to play with me. If you don't agree, I will ask Xiaopeng to drive you all out and not allow you to stay in the territory of the Feather Clan!" the little cub threatened.
Facing its threat, Liu Yishu remained calm and composed, "That's not possible. We have a contract with your Feather Clan. If Suzaku can help you hatch, the Feather Clan will protect us. So, you are the King of the Feather Clan and the Emperor of Birds. Are you going to break the contract? Do you want to be that treacherous little bird and be laughed at by the demon clan forever?"
"I am a phoenix. Which demon is so desperate as to laugh at me?" the little cub asked back righteously.
"Okay--" Liu Yishu sighed, "You are Phoenix, you are awesome! But it was you who took the initiative to find me to play, so don't say I have ulterior motives in the end! The photo bead is the proof!" Liu Yishu said as he opened his palm to show the little Phoenix, and he was holding a photo bead in his hand.
"Why are you so cunning, fox?" The little cub flapped its wings and tried to reach the photo bead, but it was obvious that it couldn't do that at the moment. It could only watch Liu Yishu put the photo bead away.
"Okay, now tell me, what do you want to play?" Liu Yishu clapped his hands and asked with a smile.
"I want you to take me out to play. Why are you asking me? You arrange it!" the little cub said as a matter of course.
Liu Yishu thought for a moment, then bent down, picked up the little cub from the ground, held it in front of him, and whispered, "Since you don't have anything fun, can you do your brother a favor?"
Brother is Ye Yunhan.
Although the little phoenix could quickly tell that Liu Yishu was not its mother, the bond between it and Chaoyang was deeper, and it probably wouldn't realize it for a while. The phoenixes were only concerned with guarding against Liu Yishu and didn't notice the little phoenix's address for Ye Yunhan and the closeness it showed.
"Help?" The kid suddenly became interested and asked in a very low voice, "What help?"
"Do you know that you were able to hatch successfully by borrowing the Nirvana Fire of Suzaku?" Liu Yishu asked.
"I know. Alua said so." said the kid.
"Your brother was Zhuque's Taoist partner before he entered Nirvana. But after Zhuque entered Nirvana and was reborn, he forgot all his past. He didn't even know that he had a Taoist partner. He never came back since he flew away the day before yesterday." Liu Yishu said.
"So my brother was abandoned by Suzaku?" Little Phoenix forgot to control his volume and shouted loudly.
"Shh..." Liu Yishu quickly made a shushing gesture, "Speak softly, don't let your brother hear it, he's very sad about this!"
"So you want me to go and get Suzaku back?" the little cub asked.
"Can you catch Suzaku like you are now?" Liu Yishu looked at the little cub suspiciously. "Suzaku is at the peak of Nirvana, and now is its strongest time! Do you think it has to start from an egg after Nirvana like you?"
The little cub felt that he was being looked down upon.
It puffed up its chest and said, "I can't catch it, but I can call for help. A-luan, Xiaopeng, Queque and the others are no weaker than Suzaku. If we rush over together, are you afraid that it will run away?"
"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble—" Liu Yishu reached out and patted its bulging chest. "Your brother and Suzaku have a soul oath. Although it doesn't remember your brother now, it will always come looking for you because of the oath. Imagine if Suzaku came looking for you one day and found that its Taoist partner was taking care of other cubs, would it be jealous? Would it feel a sense of crisis? Would it try every possible means to attract your brother's attention? Would they have a chance to get back together? Then you would be their matchmaker and the hero of their reunion. Wouldn't that be meaningful?"
The little cub nodded repeatedly and asked impatiently: "Then what should I do?"
"Just go and pester your brother and accompany him all the time. This will make Zhuque jealous and your brother won't be so sad. Your brother can also play with you. Isn't it a good thing to kill three birds with one stone?" Liu Yishu asked.
The little phoenix thought about it with his little head, and it really achieved three goals at once. "As expected of the Nine-Tailed Fox, it is cunning!"
Liu Yishu was too lazy to correct the inappropriate adjective.
"Your brother is in this room. Go and knock on the door. You are so cute. Your brother will definitely like you very much!" Liu Yishu brought the cub to the door of Ye Yunhan's room and put the cub on the ground.
"Come on! I'm rooting for you!" Liu Yishu retreated to the door of his room and cheered the little cub on.
The little cub took a deep breath, raised its wings and wanted to knock on the door, but found that the noise of its wings flapping on the door was too small, and maybe its brother couldn't hear it at all. It thought about it and simply pecked at the door with its beak.
"Brother, open the door! I'm here to play with you!" The little phoenix shouted while pecking at the door.
Ye Yunhan, who was in the room, heard the noise and just opened the door, a small yellow fluffy ball fell into the room because it couldn't stop in time, and rolled several times before stopping.
Ye Yunhan was startled and quickly walked over to pick up the dizzy little cub from the ground and held it in his hands.
"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.
