Chapter 218: The Wooden Divine Beast
As a familiar spirit, the Flower Fairy and her master are naturally the closest.
Chu Huaiyue is still a little one, but she can also sense her familiar spirit. She giggles and waves her little hand, playing and frolicking with the Flower Fairy.
Chu Shen simply puts the little one down and lets her play with her familiar spirit under the care of the concubines, while he communicates with the Tree Granny, saying, "Tree Granny, how much longer until the Innate Wood Spirit nurtured by the Wood Spirit Seed is born?"
The voice of the Tree Granny rings in his ears, saying, "It's almost time, almost time. I can already hear the sound of her awakening."
I really didn't expect that, at my old age, I would have the opportunity to encounter such a close existence. Chu Shen, your luck is truly remarkable.
Chu Shen laughs heartily and says, "Thank you for your praise, Tree Granny. I just wonder what kind of creature this seed will give birth to."
The Tree Granny seems pleased and says, "It seems to be a bird, a lively little bird. That's a good thing. It's too quiet here, having a lively little creature will make it more lively."
However, it seems like the Tree Granny spoke a bit too soon.
As the green light sphere shattered like glass, the nurtured creature let out a long cry and appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was a bird-like creature resembling a crane, with only one leg. Its green feathers had red patterns, and it had a white beak, but inside its beak was a strand of fiery red flame.
"Bifang, Bifang!"
The green bird chirped, shaking its body. The remnants of the green light sphere scattered like broken snow, ultimately transforming into the Wood Spirit aura of this Grotto-Heaven.
And it, being a bird, spread its wings and flew, dancing in the air, drawing a beautiful arc in front of everyone's eyes, and then forced to land. Being just born, it was not yet strong enough to sustain continuous flight.
However, Chu Shen had already recognized what species it was - a mythical ancient beast, Bi Fang!
Hmm... this fellow seems to enjoy causing fires, being regarded as the guardian of house fires.
At this moment, Tree Granny was also a bit silent: "I didn't expect it to be a little Bi Fang."
Chu Shen laughed: "Tree Granny, do you still plan to let this little guy stay in your Grotto-Heaven?"
But Tree Granny laughed: "It's a mischievous little fellow that can be a bit troublesome, but keeping it here is a good opportunity to educate it. On the contrary, if you let it stay in the Jade Palace, you would be even more troubled, wouldn't you?"
Chu Shen smiled bitterly: "Indeed."
This fellow looks lively like a Siberian Husky, and it can also start fires. If we let it settle in the Jade Palace, we would probably have to put out fires every few days.
"But, Granny, aren't you worried that its flames will harm you?"
Tree Granny smiled and said: "This old body is not so easily harmed by flames. Besides Bi Fang, there used to be a Phoenix nesting here in ancient times. Just leave the little fellow to me for care and guidance."
"Alright, Tree Granny, please take care of this little guy in the future. But before that, it should make an appearance outside."
The news of the Chu family unexpectedly obtaining the presence of an Innate Spirit must be spread.
Although this little Bi Fang is still small, it is a highly concentrated primitive species, a true divine beast, completely different from the likes of the Dragon and Phoenix at the Lingjue Peak.
In front of it, those beings considered divine creatures by people are nothing more than hybrids with a trace of dragon and phoenix bloodline.
This will cause a tremendous sensation and showcase our own heritage.
The Tree Granny has long known this and does not object.
The next day, Qingyu Honghen's Bifang cried out and circled above the Qunyu Palace, alarming the surrounding mountain spirits and strange beasts, as well as the disciples of the exotic creatures.
The fox spirits, who have a good relationship with the Chu family, huddled together in the cave, trembling in fear. The mixed-blood Jiaolong, which was used as a mount by Shen Yingzi, howled and hid in the mountain pool, not daring to move. The bird monsters and spirits, whether transformed or not, did not dare to take flight.
All because Bifang, who announced its existence, was showing off in the ancient bird language about its birth and the threat it posed to the surrounding creatures: "I am the boss, you dragons coil around me, you tigers lie down, remember to pay me protection fees, or I'll beat you up!"
It's no wonder it would be so arrogant. As a pure-blood divine creature, those beings whose life essence is lower than its status would naturally fear it, just like how dragons have their dragon might and phoenixes have their phoenix aura. Bifang naturally has its own majestic presence.
In addition to Chu Shen, who possesses the system, and the Chu family concubines and children who are protected by the system, ordinary humans would also have varying degrees of natural fear when facing Bifang.
Soon, news of the appearance of the divine creature Bifang in the Chu family spread.
The Lingjue Peak sent someone familiar with the Chu family to inquire about the news.
After learning that Bifang was accidentally conceived by the Chu family and regarded the Qunyu Palace as its nest, and that Chu Shen and Bifang had a close interaction, she knew that Bifang already had an owner and no longer bothered them. She went back to report.
Upon learning about the relationship between Bifang and the Chu family, Lingjue Peak felt regretful, but since it was a done deal, they had no reason to snatch the divine creature from the Chu family. It was also a good thing for their disciples to have more interactions with divine creatures on a regular basis, so they no longer dwelled on this issue.
Other immortal peaks also sent people to observe and investigate. After confirming that the Chu family had indeed encountered the divine beast Bi Fang, some were amazed while others were envious and jealous.
Chu Shen deliberately showed enthusiasm towards Bi Fang, enough for people from various immortal peaks to know that Bi Fang had chosen the Chu family and could be considered theirs.
Rumors of the Chu family having a divine beast also spread within the Langhuan Heavenly Palace.
"I didn't expect that the small Chu family would actually have a divine beast. Although it is still young, it already possesses remarkable majesty. Its bloodline must be extremely pure."
"This is quite obvious. Did you see the fear on the faces of those pseudo-dragons and pseudo-phoenixes when facing Bi Fang? That is the pressure brought by a true divine beast!"
"That's right. Although the pseudo-dragons and pseudo-phoenixes nowadays have very little inheritance of divine beast bloodlines, they are still superior beings among the exotic beasts. Inside the palace, they have no natural enemies. But when they see the Bi Fang from the Chu family, they are all scared and bow down. It's definitely the suppression of bloodlines!"
"Speaking of which, the Chu family's luck is really good. Is this Bi Fang an ancient divine beast? How did it reappear and end up in their family?"
"I think it's very likely that they found it in the Qunyu Palace!"
"The Qunyu Palace still has such things?"
"Don't think it's impossible. The Qunyu Palace is also a well-preserved ancient site. Who knows if it has left behind any treasures."
"Why didn't the people who searched the Qunyu Palace find these things before?"
"Back then, no one could live in the Qunyu Palace properly. How come the Chu family could? When they lived inside, they discovered things that others couldn't. What's so strange about that?"
As people chatted, they began to speculate about the secrets hidden within the Qunyu Palace as an ancient relic.
