Chapter 223: Too Caught Up In Pretending

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Fire Phoenix went from being perplexed to being shocked. Then, surprised.

It had the urge to resist. It was struggling. If it was not in so much pain, it would have fought this so-called expert!

He was not a man!

Li Nianfan was shocked, too.

‘Damn! It really is a demon who can speak! The voice sounds like a woman... It sounds good.’

However, he felt wrongly accused. What did the bird mean by him riding it? Why did it sound so embarrassed?

However, the words of the bird demon made Li Nianfan’s eyes sparkle. The bird was so big and so pretty. How cool would he look if he were to ride it!

He was envious of the Crane Demon from the Azure Ville. Now, this demon came up to his door!?

Since it was hurt, he could take it in and heal it. Then, it would be touched and look for a way to repay him. After that, he would be able to ride on it!

Perhaps it could also protect him!

This plot was too perfect!

However, Li Nianfan had to make sure of one thing.

“How did you get so hurt? Is someone chasing after you?”

The firebird looked at him in hatred as it said arrogantly, “Chase after me? Who would even dare chase after me in this world?”

“Very well, then.” Li Nianfan sighed in relief. He wanted to make sure of it to avoid being dragged into some conflict.

Although the bird sounded arrogant, it was probably not being hunted. Furthermore, it did not seem evil, so it did not look like a bad demon.

LI Nianfan found a good angle and started moving the Fire Phoenix’s wings.

Instantly, the Fire Phoenix resisted. It scoffed, “What are you doing? Don’t you touch me! Go away!”

“How am I supposed to help you? You’re so hurt, I’d advise you not to move around too much. Beware of your organs falling out!” Li Nianfan said in shock. He then said to Xiao Bai, “Come and give me a hand. We’ll bring it in together.”

The Fire Phoenix continued to struggle. “Don’t touch my feathers! It’s messed up!”

Li Nianfan felt awkward as he explained, “Your feathers are too soft. Don’t blame me for that!”

The Fire Phoenix was big but it was not heavy. Li Nianfan had already brought it inside and settled it down in the yard before he realized Daji was standing there.

She took a look at the Fire Phoenix and said, “Mr. Li, are you going to eat it?”

Instantly, the Fire Phoenix who was crying out stopped crying.

Li Nianfan was shocked, too. He said hastily, “Don’t say that. The bird’s our friend. We can’t treat it like food!”

No way. This was such a beautiful bird, women would be drawn to it by instinct. Yet Daji’s first reaction was to eat it? Perhaps he had turned her into a food lover?

He walked over to Daji and said in a low voice, “Daji, it’s rare for us to come across a flying demon. It happens to be hurt. You need to get close to it and hopefully develop a good relationship with it. Who knows, it might even allow us to ride it!”

Daji’s face changed. She sounded as if she was being treated unfairly. “You want to ride her?”

Li Nianfan did not notice the change on Daji’s face. He nodded, “Yeah, we’re all ordinary people. If we could fly in the sky, we could see more of the outside world. How nice would that be!”

Daji’s eyelids lowered as she said in a soft voice, “I’ll listen to Mr. Li.”

Meanwhile, the Fire Phoenix was looking at its surroundings.

It first looked at the lightning rod. The sight of the lightning striking it was still flashing in its head.

‘So, this rod saved me? It looks ordinary and it doesn’t even contain any Spiritual Qi. How unbelievable!

‘There are quite a few treasures in the yard, but most of them have been transformed after being exposed to the high amount of Insights. If not, they wouldn’t even be as good as Immortal Items.

‘However...the rooms in the house and the backyard definitely contain something terrifying!

‘Oh, and a small Firefinch Demon. It has a slight hint of the phoenix bloodline in it, so it can almost be considered an Immortal Beast!’

Since the Fire Phoenix entered the house, the Firefinch had been trembling in a corner.

That was the Godly Fire Phoenix! The Queen of all birds!

And it was being carried into the four-part architecture? Did that mean it would be living with the Fire Phoenix under the same roof?

Wow! So nervous! So excited! So uneasy!

When the Fire Phoenix looked at it, the Firefinch Demon trembled and instinctively laid three eggs in a row.

Beside it was five eggs waiting for Li Nianfan to harvest.

The Fire Phoenix looked away. It could not bear the sight of it.

Meanwhile, Li Nianfan walked over with the medical box.

The bird was so badly hurt. What a shocking sight! It needed to be treated right away.

“Alright, I’m going to treat you. Don’t move, okay?” Li Nianfan took out a small scalpel and measured the wound. He was about to start the operation.

“The area around your wound has been burnt. I’ll have to remove the dead skin. It’ll be slightly painful but you’ll have to endure it.”

The Fire Phoenix merely turned its head away. It did not speak.

Wow, what an arrogant bird!

Li Nianfan smiled. He straightened his expression, looking focused. He raised his hand and sliced into the flesh surrounding the wound.

Following his movements, the originally unperturbed Fire Phoenix was instantly shocked. Its eyes widened in surprise.

This, this...

It could not help lowering its head to look at its wound.

There was indeed no use of Spiritual Qi. Even the scalpel did not possess any special Qi. Why...

The scariest thing about the Natural Tribulation was its Law of Destruction. Especially the tribulation it faced moments ago. Even if it was just a hint, even if it was not a direct hit, once the Law of Destruction entered one’s body, it would cause death!

This was the Law of the world, the authority of the Law!

The Fire Phoenix had too much Law of Destruction built up in its body. If it did not have a way to remove them, it would need to be reborn at some point. However...

As Li Nianfan made a cut, all traces of the Law of Destruction in its body was removed!

This was too scary! The Law was nothing in front of this man!

More importantly, the man and the scalpel seemed so ordinary!

The most powerful Dao brought one back to its basic form!

This expert was so terrifying!

Countless thoughts went through its head. ‘This must be the expert in the ordinary realm without a doubt! They say he has a fetish for pretending to be an ordinary man and it looks like it’s true! However, it’s not exactly a fetish because even though he has the shell of an ordinary man, he’s still standing at the peak of the world! Perhaps becoming an ordinary man is no longer meaningful to him!

‘However, if the bigshot wants to pretend to be an ordinary man, everyone else can only play along with him. Only an idiot who doesn’t want to live anymore would expose him.

‘Especially...what the Nine-Tailed Fox said earlier. So scary! I won’t even try. If I was turned into a dish, I won’t even be able to cry!’

The Fire Phoenix could not help looking at Daji. Then, it realized that Daji was already staring at it.

The two of them exchanged an unfriendly look.

Smelly fox!

Dead phoenix!

‘It seems that this fox is unfriendly. It must feel threatened by me taking away its master’s attention!

‘Ha-ha, want to eat me?’

The Fire Phoenix rested its head on Li Nianfan’s shoulder. “Argh, so painful! Gentler!”

Li Nianfan said, “Hold it, I’ll speed up. It’ll be over soon.”

The Fire Phoenix looked at Daji, challenging her.

‘Angry? Are you angry at me?’

It was not until the sky had turned brighter when Li Nianfan finally finished cleaning the wound. Li Nianfan let out a long sigh and said, “I’ll apply some medicine and wrap a bandage over it to wait for new flesh to grow.”

He did have quite a lot of medicine at home, all made by him during his free time in case of emergencies.

The Fire Phoenix said, “Thank you.”

It could clearly feel its body getting better. It was a miracle!

“Ha-ha-ha, no problem.” LI Nianfan was delighted. This was a good start.

Swiftly after, he asked with curiosity, “Oh, right. How did you get hurt?”

The Fire Phoenix told him the truth. “I came from the Immortal Land and helped thirty-eight cultivators Immortalize. So, I was punished.”

Came down from the Immortal Land?

Helped cultivators Immortalize?

Li Nianfan almost did not believe what he just heard. He looked at the Fire Phoenix blankly as his head exploded.

This, this, this...

Bigshot!

He said in shock, “And you... What kind of bird are you?”

The Fire Phoenix raised its head arrogantly. “I’m a Divine Bird, the Fire Phoenix!”

Li Nianfan gasped, his heart thumping rapidly.

Fire Phoenix?

He saved a phoenix?

Wait, he did not save it, so he could only say he bumped into a phoenix.

This was the legendary phoenix. Did it even need any help?

What he did to the phoenix almost seemed ridiculous now. It was probably silly and useless!

Luckily, what he did probably earned himself a good impression.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became!

Damn it! A phoenix fell from the sky! When would the Seven Fairies fall for him?

He even touched the phoenix! He played with its feathers!

This would be unimaginable in his past realm! It was like a dream!

Although he knew he would face many unbelievable things after transgressing to the Immortal Realm, he did not expect to come across a bigshot like this phoenix! Could he possibly come across the legendary dragon at some point?

The thought of it really excited him!

He even operated on a phoenix! What a miraculous life!

Oh, right! The phoenix’s blood!

Li Nianfan shivered. The s in his past realm stated that the blood of the phoenix was the most precious thing! It even claimed to have the benefit of retaining one’s youth! He had a bowl of its blood!

He hugged the bowl of blood in his arms and tried to ask in a calm voice, “Oh, right. You’re a Divine Bird. Does your blood have any benefit?”

“Of course,” the Fire Phoenix said arrogantly. “My blood can keep you alive for a thousand years and retain your youth!”

Li Nianfan’s face flushed red as his hands that were hugging the bowl trembled. He pulled Daji and ran into his room.

‘This is so cool! I got lucky!

‘It’s a phoenix! Obviously, I won’t be able to ride it but I did gain something massive!

‘As expected, meeting a bigshot is so cool! A little something from the bigshot is a massive opportunity for ordinary men like myself!’

The Fire Phoenix looked rather stunned. It looked at Li Nianfan who was running into his room while cradling a bowl of its blood as if he was holding onto treasure.

He was so good at pretending?

An expert was indeed an expert, even his acting skills were so good!

It could not help looking at Blackie who was resting by the side.

Blackie yawned and shrugged. “Can’t help it. That’s my master. He’s too caught up in pretending to be an ordinary man that he can’t get out of it. Just do your best to play along.”
