Chapter 37: Yuyan's Continuous Shock

--- Chapter 36 ---

After releasing the curse of the Phoenix Clan, everyone enjoyed the barbeque of wild bovine meats.

"T-This is..."

Yuyan has an awkward expression on her face.

Although she wished the best for Yu Long, his actions sometimes are questionable.

Why so?

In the Phoenix Clan's open yard, a large iron pan was 'directly' used to sear several cuts of meat.

You might think there is a large fire beneath the iron pan, but no. There is no single spark.

Yuyan looked at the red rock below the iron pan and mumbled, "Using Evil God's Fire Seed as the heat source to roast some meats..."

"Master even added some weakening arrays, so the Fire of Law within the Fire Seed didn't burn everything."

"I don't know if I should be impressed or not."

"I couldn't imagine anyone to have such a 'creative' idea besides Master himself." She giggled amusingly.

Yu Long gobbled a plate full of roasted meat. He glanced at Yuyan and commented, "What are you staring at? Sit down and enjoy a meal with everyone."

"Then, pardon my intrusion." Yuyan won't be awkward and sits beside Yu Long.

As Yu Long enjoyed his food, he sometimes observed Yu Yan's body and marveled at her beauty. He also discovered her energy level was at the peak of the Mortal Realm.

The peak of the Mortal Realm is the 10th Level of the Sovereign Profound Realm. It was unbelievable, but recalling the power of Phoenix God's residual soul to survive this long, Yu Long thought it was normal.

"Yuyan, I believe since you have transformed into human form. You also developed profound veins, no?"

"My other kaiju haven't unlocked their humanoid transformation yet."

"Yes," Yuyan answered honestly. "It is all Thanks to the Master's help."

"Stop with the flattery." Yu Long rolled his eyes.

Yuyan smiled and added, "My Cultivation is at the peak of Mortal Realm."

"It could be higher by accumulating more natural energy, but Master doesn't seem to show much interest in cultivation base..."

"That's where you are wrong." Yu Long denied while wiping his mouth.

"I'm very interested in the Cultivation Path of this world."

"I don't aggressively increase my cultivation base because I like to grasp every realm's fundamentals and purpose. Given my research, I already discovered the secret behind Elementary and Nascent Profound Realm."

"How perceptive." Yuyan nodded in understanding. "The people of this era are really lacking compared to you, Master."

"The foundation is trash."

"And their understanding is shallower than muddy puddles..."

"Like I said, stop with the flattery." Yu Long sighed, flicking the bird kaiju's forehead.

Yuyan didn't dodge and wholeheartedly accepted the flick.

"Ahn... Thanks for the punishment, Master~!"

"..." Yu Long stared at her blankly.

"Get the hell out of here..."

"Yes, Master~!"

...

Yuyan walked around the Phoenix Clan and stalked Yu Long's companions.

She started with Xia Qingyue and was immediately baffled.

Xia Qingyue sat down not far from Yu Long, enjoying her barbeque with him. She has a happy expression on her face, definitely having a feeling for the Master.

"To think Blue Pole Star would give birth to a gifted young girl with two cheat-like innate talents."

"Nine Profound Exquisite Body."

"And Heart of Snow Glazed Glass."

Yuyan chuckled, "No wonder Master said there is another person who could cultivate the modified World Ode of the Phoenix."

"With Nine Profound Exquisite Body, she could cultivate any profound words without backlash."

Yuyan changed her target to Lily, seeing the bright-looking maid from afar.

Lily flipped barbequed meats over the iron pan and shared them with the Phoenix Clan's members. Sometimes, she'd taste the barbeque herself and put on a delightful look.

"Thank you for everything, Benefactor Yu!" Feng Baichuan cupped his hand firmly. "Without you, we will continue to suffer for years."

"You've given us great hope."

"From now on, the Phoenix Clan will be yours. We will try our best to satisfy your orders."

"Well..." Yu Long smiled at them.

"Train well. Give me a surprise the next time we meet."

"YES!" The Phoenix Clan responded with determination. Even the young kids gazed at Yu Long with admiration.

"Then, see you later." Yu Long waved his hand and disappeared with a gust of wind.

On the horizon, Yuyan returned to her Kaiju Form. And everyone rode her back.

Yuyan spread her wide emerald-like feathered wings, making Xia Qingyue and Lily's eyes shine.

"Woah, so sparkly." Xia Qingyue touched one of the feathers gently.

Meanwhile, Lily rubbed the feather and mumbled, "I wonder how much this would be worth in the market..."

"Lily, your greediness is showing." Yu Long gave the maid a questionable gaze.

"It's Young Master's fault." Lily pouted, placing her hands on the hip.

"How could it be my fault?" Yu Long was 'actually' taken aback by her response.

The maid scrunched her nose and added, "It's because you didn't pay me enough."

"..." Xia Qingyue.

"..." Hong Guan.

"..." Yu Long.

"Uh, but Master gave you several good things, no? Like Altered Bloodlines and Profound Aspects." Yuyan commented.

"That's true..." Lily nodded solemnly.

"However!"

"Those things won't allow me to buy new clothes."

The corner of Yu Long's mouth twitched as he said, "Then, you should ask my mother for a raise, not me."

"She was the one who employed you."

"...Wait, you're a fucking Shadow's Maiden. The Shadow Realm should give you enough money!"

"Ack." Lily froze awkwardly.

She rocked her head away and whistled, "H-Hehe, That doesn't count."

"Don't count your head!" Yu Long flicked Lily's forehead.

"Wuu, wuu... Young Master is bullying me again."

"You deserve it, Lily." Xia Qingyue remarked.

"Yes, you deserve it." Hong Guan agrees with Xia Qingyue.

"Anyway." Yu Long patted Yuyan's back.

"Yuyan, show me how fast you are."

"Right away, Master~!"

Yuyan stretched her wings and flapped them, driving past the clouds.

A beautiful green cloud sliced the horizon, creating a beautiful aurora.

...

...

One year later.

Drifting River City, Yu Clan.

A golden-eyed youth woke up drowsily.

He yawned and saw four beautiful ladies on his bed.

"Haha, any man would be jealous..." He chuckled.

"Well, I'm living a good life."
