Chapter 18: The Beast Peacock

"Clan seal? Which family is this a princess? White hair is not common..."

Yubai rubbed his chin, and glanced at Suzaku from time to time.

"Hey! I can see you looking at me! I really don't care about this little girl!"

Suzaku said angrily.

"Uh...how about you hide aside and don't let this child find you, and you will come out after we explain it clearly to her?"

Yubai just scratched his head, feeling a little troubled, what if this kid doesn't listen to his explanation, what is this called...

"...All right, I'm going to hunt..."

Suzaku also knew that the child was probably stimulated by a monster, and it would be safer to avoid it for the time being... After all, it is better to leave the brain to others, and she is only responsible for doing it.

After all, spread your wings and fly away.

The girl's eyes opened suddenly, and she left Shiranuoyuan's embrace lightly, and restrained Wenren Zigui who was watching the fun, while holding Wenren Zigui back, she looked at Yubaizhi and the two vigilantly. .

"Who are you!"

"Calm down, we are not your enemy!"

Yubai stopped speaking, and his tone was as gentle as possible so that the girl could hear what he said clearly.

"This child is innocent, you let him go first, let's have a good talk!"

The girl let out a muffled grunt when she heard that Zigui was in pain, and the strength in her hand became lighter, which made Yu Baizhi heave a sigh of relief.

Obediently, use such a heavy sword to strangle a child, you don't know how the princess of that family can be so fierce.

"Why are you with that woman! She is a monster!"

The girl spoke in a warning tone.

"You misunderstood, she is not a monster, no, she is a monster, but she is a good monster, she is a holy beast, you know?"

Yu Baizhi spoke in a puzzled way.

"In short, you just need to know that she won't hurt anyone, and we have no malicious intentions."

"That monster said the same thing."

The girl snorted coldly, not believing Yu Baizhi's words.

"That monster also said that it is a holy beast, and that it can also benefit people, give them a peaceful life and work, and bless them with good harvests in all seasons."

Yu Baizhi felt a little worried. Could it be Suzaku... why does this kid have such a... fierce attitude towards monsters?But this is understandable... Wait, that monster?

Yu Baizhi felt as if he had grasped something important.

"That monster?"

The girl nodded.

"Yes, it claims to be a holy beast, the peacock, but when it came to our clan, it confuses everyone! It actually said that our ancestral sacred artifact is an evil thing! It also said that we are all cursed!"

The girl said angrily, and kept thinking about it.

"It's also half-human, half-animal, except that it has a pair of white wings on its back...the hair is white...I can't remember the rest."

The girl shook her head, as if she was a little stiff because her dazed mind hadn't reacted yet.

"What about its eyes? Generally speaking, monsters have fierce eyes. Suzaku's eyes... Although they are not good-looking, they are not fierce."

Yu Baizhi always felt that this sacred beast, the peacock, was familiar.

"Also, how do you know it's a rumor? What if it's true?"

Yu Baizhi suddenly remembered that after meeting that sword and this unlucky boy, he immediately suffered disaster...

"Impossible, my father has always been the most strict observant of ancestral rules. The Xuanyuan Sword has always been our sacred weapon, and it is used to kill monsters. How could it be an evil thing! Bringing unknown..."

Realizing that she might have said something serious, the girl stopped her mouth hastily.

Sure enough, these people were also bewitched, and they came to tell their own words!

"Xuanyuan Sword? That... uh, is there a Xiong family or something..."

Yu Baizhi somewhat understood the identity of this girl. Legend has it that the Xuanyuan clan gradually declined, but they survived by relying on holy weapons to kill monsters...

Yu Baizhi suddenly put on a serious face, and the girl tensed up nervously.

"Can you tell me how you are sure that your people are bewitched? I seem to know the origin of that peacock."

"They... after looking at the tail of that monster... it seems like a different person..."

The girl considered her own words and spoke slowly.

"And I also saw that it can clone itself, and those people who resisted it were quietly killed by it... Therefore, it cannot be a holy beast at all, and this does not correspond to its claim that it has no malice towards human beings!"

"And... because of it, the people in the clan no longer cultivate and cultivate, and only know to worship that monster every day..."

The girl's voice gradually weakened, as if she had thought of something bad...

"My mother...it was said to be a demon girl...the tribe sacrificed my mother to it..."

Yu Baizhi nodded, indicating that he understood.

"You are indeed deceived. It is not a holy beast. From your description, I also know where it is sacred."

Yu Baizhi recalled the fierce beast that his master once said he must never provoke...

"It is rumored that the peacock's tail wings can arouse hatred, lose one's mood, and confuse people's hearts... All hatred, sorrow, and hatred can all be transformed into its power."

Yu Baizhi always felt that something was wrong.

"But it stands to reason that if the Angry Beast Peacock wants to kill someone, it doesn't have to be so troublesome...unless it is for something..."

His gaze was fixed on the golden sword leaning against the tree.

"Xuanyuan Sword!"

Yu Baizhi and the girl said the answer in their hearts at the same time.

The corners of Yu Baizhi's mouth twitched, and he looked straight into the girl's eyes.

Sure enough...unknown...

"But you really misunderstood. She is really the holy beast Suzaku. Even if you look at it, she has the word "bird", but this Suzaku definitely doesn't have the brains to do such a thing. If she wanted to, she would just run away with a sword. Isn't it?"

The girl felt dizzy and felt that what Yu Baizhi said seemed to make sense, and she couldn't help wondering if she was too nervous...

Under Yu Baizhi's persuasive temptation, the girl finally reluctantly believes that Suzaku and the peacock are not the same.

"Ahem, well, come out, the matter is settled, let's have dinner."

Yu Baizhi yelled behind a tree in the distance, and saw Suzaku walking out cautiously, carrying a fat and strong wild boar demon in his hand, far away from the girl, not daring to approach the girl.

"Can you get closer! I can't reach this far!"

Yu Bai stopped shouting.

"I don't! What if this kid suddenly rushes up to chop me up again! I want to wait and see..."

Suzaku shook his head, expressing his resistance.

The girl sighed softly, walked quickly to Suzaku, and bowed deeply.

Suzaku yelled exaggeratedly like a frightened kitten puffing up.

"You! Don't come here..."

"I'm very sorry, I misunderstood you earlier... Oh yes, I'm Xuanyuan Yiting, please accept my apology."

The calm and cultivated apology reassured Suzaku a lot, she bounced and handed the meat to Yu Baizhi, and said happily.

"It's all right! It's all a misunderstanding! I invite you to eat meat! Er, this guy's craftsmanship is really good!"

Suzaku pointed at Yu Baizhi and helped Xuanyuan Yiting up.

"Ashamed...so grateful..."

 In fact, peacocks were indeed holy beasts in ancient times...

  It is said that the status is about the same as that of Phoenix...

  Oh yes, some of the lines are flags

  There are also some lines that foretell the direction of the following plot

  Guess those are the easter eggs I buried~
