Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 20: The Pheasant Seeks the Phoenix, Named Hong Ling

Who else could know?

This ordinary little chicken is actually a special little demon.

When Bai Yu saw it for the first time,

A similar prompt appeared in his mind as when he encountered Long Zhi before.

Li the shopkeeper thought that compared to a hundred gold, a little chicken was just an addition, not worth mentioning.

Little did he know, for Bai Yu,

A hundred gold meant nothing,

Even if a thousand gold were to be spent, it would still come back!

On the contrary, this little chicken... is hard to come by.

"Young master, please don't joke."

"It is still young, less than a year old, and its spiritual intelligence has not yet developed. Don't scare it!"

The young master's mind is full of wild ideas,

Always liking to play jokes that scare people.

Long Zhi helplessly transmitted her voice to Bai Yu.

It always feels like there are two children in this room.

One is truly young and lacks spiritual intelligence, while the other is mischievous and carefree.

She glanced at the restless little chicken again, not knowing what method she used.

In the blink of an eye,

The terrified and screaming little chicken was calmed down.

It obediently lay next to the little snake,

But when it looked at Bai Yu, it was filled with fear.

"Wow! Sister Long is really clever. It's only been a few days, and it already understands human emotions!"

"Now that you've done a good deed, I'll be the bad guy~"

Bai Yu chuckled lightly,

Sat down at the table, and gently scratched the underside of the little chicken's neck.

Whether it was out of shock or respect,

The little chicken allowed him to caress it.

"Young master~ What good and bad people are there? I am on your side!"

The little snake stuck out its tongue,

For some unknown reason, it wrapped around Bai Yu's wrist as he played with the little chicken.

Stopping Bai Yu's movements.

The cold-blooded snake's pupils were filled with tenderness.

"How does the young master know it is extraordinary?"

Perhaps because this little chicken is still young and its magical power is weak,

Or perhaps it has been shielded by something nearby.

Long Zhi didn't initially notice the extraordinary nature of this little thing.

Why is it that Bai Yu can see it at a glance?

"Hey~"

"A celestial being once appeared in my dream, telling me that a phoenix seed would descend in this place. After entering, I had a feeling that it was destined to be connected to me..." Bai Yu chuckled lightly and made up a story.

"Really?"

"That's truly a fateful encounter~"

Fate and destiny do exist.

The more one cultivates, the more they believe in it.

Pure and innocent, Long Zhi didn't doubt Bai Yu and immediately believed him.

She also felt that Bai Yu was extraordinary, so it was within reason for a celestial being to appear in his dream and for him to intuitively find the little chicken.

However, she didn't know why, but Long Zhi felt uncomfortable with what he said.

"It's fake."

However, following that,

Bai Yu smirked playfully and exposed his own lie.

Long Zhi: ...

She was so angry!

Just a moment ago, he said he wouldn't deceive her, but now he was teasing and deceiving her again!

"Sir!"

"Long Zhi can also get angry!"

After being in the mortal world for so long,

The initially dull and cold-hearted Long Zhi had now gained some human emotions.

It's unclear whether it's good or bad.

"Oh~ really~"

"What does it look like when Long Sister gets angry? Let me see~"

Bai Yu poked her head and asked with a smile.

Like a primary school boy who deliberately provokes girls to make them angry.

He actually felt that this version of Long Zhi,

Compared to her initial cold and emotionless appearance, had a strange contrast.

The more he liked teasing her.

"Um..."

The little snake widened its eyes, retracted its fangs, and took a sip from Bai Yu's hand.

It felt ticklish, like scratching an itch,

Quite interesting.

"Long Sister, it's good to learn something, but don't learn to be petty~"

In the next moment,

A small stream of water suddenly appeared in the air, aiming directly at Bai Yu's nose.

Having cultivated in water for a thousand years, it transformed into a dragon, bestowing clouds and rain.

Clearly, she was proficient in water-based magic.

If she wanted to, she could even flood this capital city.

Summoning a small stream of water was naturally as simple as can be.

Bai Yu, on the other hand, reacted quickly and immediately blocked the sneak attack from the little snake with a wave of her folding fan.

The water flowed down and drenched the bewildered little chicken watching the show below.

Little Chicken: ?

You better have a good reason!

After playing around for a while, the two finally remembered the real protagonist.

"Do you know how it evolves and ascends to become a phoenix?"

Previously, it was a simple matter to seal the dragon for Long Zhi with just a word.

But now, this pheasant hadn't even developed its intelligence yet, and he was supposed to help her transform into a phoenix. That was truly difficult for him.

"I don't know."

Long Miss really felt a bit dejected.

From the beginning until now, Bai Yu had asked her questions and requested things from her, but she seemed to have never accomplished anything!

Damn it!

She felt so useless!

A pheasant little demon who hadn't even reached one year old and hadn't developed its intelligence yet, did it want to transform into a phoenix too early?

She really didn't know how to solve this problem!

Previously, her neighbor, the pheasant spirit who had some connection with her, had gone somewhere to pursue its dream of becoming a phoenix.

As a dragon snake of a different species, how could she know the method of transforming into a phoenix?

Why did the young master always ask her strange questions that she couldn't answer?

But speaking of that neighbor,

This little chicken seemed to have a similar aura to it,

Perhaps there was some connection with the old bird who bid farewell years ago.

"Um... alright! Let's leave it to fate."

Although Bai Yu didn't understand cultivation, she knew that this path was full of countless dangers.

This little chicken really puts Long Zhi in a difficult position, trying to make it the most noble species.

"In the future, let's just treat it as a small pet~"

Bai Yu is not in a hurry,

He lifts up the little chicken, looks into its cute eyes, and says with a smile,

"Since you haven't developed intelligence yet, you must not have a name. I'll call you Hong Ling, how about that?"

Bai Yu notices a few strands of reddish feathers growing on its tail,

So he gives it a name.

Long Jiejie didn't have the pleasure of naming it before, so now she can't miss this opportunity.

I don't know how this little thing managed to sneak into this restaurant,

But in a few days,

People will surely discover its uniqueness.

If that time comes... I don't know what its fate will be.

"Koko~"

The little chicken raises its head and calls twice, looking at Bai Yu with bright eyes, and agrees.

It accepts its new name.

"Look at our luck... Just a few months after leaving home, we have both the dragon and the phoenix!"

"I hope you don't really want me to be the ruler of the world... I can't say for sure!"

"Oh my, what are you doing? That's so embarrassing!"

"I actually just want to be a small corrupt official, living happily and carefree~"

Bai Yu says with a playful smile.

None of these sentences are normal!

If they spread, heads will roll!

Hong Ling: ?

Long Zhi: ...

Long, (referring to the heavily injured, currently struggling as a small snake.)

Feng, (referring to the little demon who has barely lived for a year, a small chicken without developed intelligence.)

This young master is boasting too much, it's a bit too early.

She can't say for sure either.

However,

She inexplicably believes

In the young master in front of her, who is indescribable.

The future's destiny is so dazzling and unpredictable.

It's not because of her, nor because of this little chicken spirit,

But... because of him!
