I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1913: Calm Down, I Have to Calm Down

Three powerful Vermilion Bird Tribe members had already gathered near the teleportation spell formation.

Among these three figures was Huang Muzi.

They were all supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage, so dealing with ordinary visitors would pose absolutely no problem at all.

"I wonder what ranks these visitors are at," a Vermilion Bird who had pale blue flames rising from its body said indifferently. "Judging by the violent energy fluctuations of the teleportation spell formation, they're most likely not ordinary cultivators."

"Heh… No matter where they're from, and no matter how powerful their background is, there's no way that they're as impressive as our Vermilion Bird Tribe. If they're not humble enough, then I'll have them become miners of the Red Vermilion Bird Planet, regardless of who they are!" A Vermilion Bird who had colorful feathers tilted its head up arrogantly.

There was simply no that way the visitors' backgrounds would be more impressive than theirs!

"I hope they're the supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage… The extraction speed of Flame Crystals is too slow, and we're still short on labor." There was a look of anticipation on Huang Muzi's face.

The three Return to Void Stage supreme beings continued their spirited discussion.

Meanwhile, numerous other Vermilion Birds watched on from nearby.

The miners in the distance also stole glances toward them, including Mo Hai.

There was a brilliant flash of light.

Then, two figures suddenly emerged under the expectant gazes of the Vermilion Birds and miners.

Mo Hai's eyes widened in shock when he saw the faces of the two new arrivals.

The white-clothed male was fairly handsome, and his bright and piercing eyes scanned around the surroundings curiously. He looked like a curious child who had arrived at a new and exciting place.

The azure-clothed female beside him was stunningly beautiful, and the aura that radiated from her body appeared noble and holy. She also gazed around curiously, yet she felt a strange sense of familiarity at the same time.

"It's actually two humans?" The colorful Vermilion Bird furrowed its brows slightly.

"Weird… Why can't I detect their ranks?" Huang Muzi asked curiously. "Did they use some special mystic techniques to hide their cultivation bases?"

The remaining Vermilion Birds were still able to maintain their composure.

The human miners, on the other hand, were all stunned to the spot. More precisely, their breath was stolen away from them by the stunning beauty of the female.

The female was like an ethereal being, and they were simply unable to avert their eyes from her breathtakingly beautiful face.

Such a beautiful female actually existed in the world?

"Holy f*ck… I, Dao Zhi, am definitely going to protect that Celestial Maiden!" a brawny male muttered softly. His eyes were blazing with a passionate glow.

Mo Hai couldn't help but shoot a sideways glance at the brawny male. Someone like you wants to protect her? She can slay you with a casual swing of her sword…

Immediately afterward, however, an anxious expression emerged on his face. Why did An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both come here as well? Although they're powerful, what they're coming up against is the even more powerful and even more terrifying Vermilion Bird Tribe!

If they don't flee soon, then I'm afraid that they'll also be forced to become miners!

That's right, the two humans who had arrived at the Red Vermilion Bird Planet were none other than An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.

"So, this is a territory of the Vermilion Bird Tribe? Such rich flame energy…" Xu Xiaolan slid her delicate hand into An Lin's hand. Then, she chuckled and said, "Let's take a stroll and check this place out."

Countless human miners felt as if their hearts had been shattered when they saw the beautiful female grab onto the male's hand. This doesn't make sense! Why is such an ordinary-looking male able to receive the adoration of such a stunning Celestial Maiden?!

"The conditions here are quite extreme. Only beings with relatively high cultivation bases will be able to stroll around casually." An Lin chuckled softly as he looked around at his surroundings. "Say… it seems like we're quite 'welcome' here."

Three Return to Void Stage Vermilion Birds had already surrounded An Lin and Xu Xiaolan. They wore malicious smiles on their faces, and flames that were powerful enough to distort the void were billowing from their bodies.

"My name is Ying Cai, and I'm a mining supervisor of the Red Vermilion Bird Planet," the colorful Vermilion Bird said in a pleasant yet aloof voice. "Spit it out, what are your intentions for coming to the Vermilion Bird Tribe's territory?"

Xu Xiaolan was unaffected by Ying Cai's frosty attitude, and she replied in an extremely polite manner, "Hi, fellow cultivator Ying Cai. I'm Xu Xiaolan, and this is my dao partner, An Lin. Our intention for coming here is to visit the esteemed Holy Vermilion Bird."

"What insolence!"

"Impudence!"

The three Return to Void Stage Vermilion Birds all roared in fury.

Huang Muzi's body shook in anger. "You actually dared to address the Great Empress Vermilion Bird directly by her title?!"

"You must refer to Her Majesty as Great Empress Vermilion Bird!" Ying Cai cried in a shrill voice.

"This isn't a matter of how they should refer to Her Majesty anymore. They've already insulted the Great Empress Vermilion Bird! We must punish them and have them become miners for ten thousand years!" the Vermilion Bird who had pale blue flames rising from its body said in an eerie and sinister voice.

Xu Xiaolan: "…"

Mo Hai paced about in a panic. As expected, the events had taken a turn for the worse…

However, what could he do? Run over and argue with the Vermilion Birds?

Meanwhile, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan's expressions changed slightly.

Remain low-key, we must remain low-key…

We have to treat the birds politely…

Their agreement from before surfaced into their minds at the same time.

"My apologies. We were indeed too rash before and accidentally insulted the Great Empress Vermilion Bird. However, we genuinely have important matters to discuss with the Great Empress Vermilion Bird. Can I please trouble you with informing Her Majesty about our arrival?" Xu Xiaolan forced a smile onto her face.

"Heh, do you think that the Great Empress Vermilion Bird is someone you can see on a whim?" Ying Cai sneered in disdain.

"Humans are always so cocky and self-important," Huang Muzi mocked. "They always think that they're worthy enough to talk to the Great Empress Vermilion Bird on equal terms… The last human who was as foolish as you two is already working in the mines now!"

Mo Hai's face twitched. Are they referring to me?

As he looked at the arrogant Huang Muzi, An Lin suddenly felt like making a bird stew. Since when had he ever been scolded by a weakling of the Return to Void Stage?

Calm down, I have to calm down…

I have to remain low-key and avoid getting into a conflict…

He had come here to settle karma, not to fight…

"Then what must we do to visit the Great Empress Vermilion Bird?" Xu Xiaolan suppressed her anger and forced herself to speak in a gentle tone.

"Tell us first, for what reason do you seek an audience with the Great Empress Vermilion Bird?" Huang Muzi titled his head up and glared at Xu Xiaolan with his nostrils[1].

Xu Xiaolan was a little hesitant. "This…"

"If you don't say, then stay here and work in the mines!" Ying Cai yelled arrogantly.

"Fine…" Xu Xiaolan nodded and continued, "We came here because my bloodline felt a mystical summoning power from a Vermilion Bird…"

"A mystical summoning power?" Huang Muzi faltered momentarily.

The remaining Vermilion Birds suddenly fell silent.

Then, they suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter!

"Hahaha! I didn't mishear, right? A human is claiming that their bloodline was summoned by the Great Empress Vermilion Bird?"

"Even if you possess a drop of our noble blood, what right does a mixed-species b*stard have to be summoned by the Great Empress Vermilion Bird?"

"It's your great fortune to set foot upon here, the Red Vermilion Bird Planet. Yet you try in vain to catch a glimpse of the Great Empress Vermilion Bird through such ill-conceived lies?!"

"Hahaha… What an absolute joke! This foolish female has provided me with all the laughter that I need for today!"

"Chirp! What a stupid wh*re! Send her to the mines!"

The Vermilion Birds roared with laughter as they ridiculed Xu Xiaolan.

Meanwhile, a dark expression had already fallen across An Lin's face.

[1] "Glare at someone with one's nostrils up" essentially means extremely cocky/arrogant. They're tilting their head/chin so high up that their nostrils are facing the person they're conversing with.
