Perhaps it was the perfect breeze, mingling with the fragrance of flowers in full bloom.

Zaizai and I waited by the river's edge next to the bonfire for a while, until our clothes were completely dry, ready to leave.

During this time, Zaizai kept pestering her senior brother, casually mentioning but actually asking why her senior brother liked cats.

Wei Yunzheng naturally understood the underlying meaning of her words, seeking praise.

He spared no effort in flattering her.

"Junior sister, the chosen one of the Beast Race, I, Wei Yunzheng, have firmly decided to support you!"

Zaizai's face swelled up like a bun, occasionally turning her head to prevent Wei Yunzheng from noticing her uncontrollable smile.

Wei Yunzheng sent a strand of True Qi to extinguish the bonfire, suddenly remembering something and slapping his forehead.

How foolish!

He himself possessed the Lixiao Dao Yan, so he could directly use True Qi to dry Zaizai's clothes. There was no need for unnecessary actions!

At this moment...

Gurgle~

There was a rumbling in the stomach.

Zaizai shamelessly touched her little belly, looking at Wei Yunzheng with a pitiful expression, "Senior brother, Zaizai is hungry~"

To be honest, Wei Yunzheng had always been puzzled. Generally speaking, cultivators did not have strong desires for food and did not need to eat frequently.

Why was his junior sister both greedy and easily hungry?

Now the case was solved!

"Come, senior brother will take you to eat something delicious." Wei Yunzheng patted Zaizai's head affectionately.

"Okay, okay!"

"What does senior brother want to take Zaizai to eat?"

"You can choose whatever you want."

Wei Yunzheng readily agreed. As the Saint Child, with a simple command, someone would naturally prepare what he wanted to eat.

"Hehe."

"Is that so!"

Zaizai grinned, raising her little hand, "Senior brother! Zaizai wants to eat Eight Treasures Chicken!"

Wei Yunzheng was taken aback, carefully examining this little junior sister. He felt that it was a mistake to plead for her to the master, clearly she needed to be disciplined for a few more days.

Come on.

Why did he not know why he was punished to the Sigu Cliff?!

Just as he was relieved of the punishment, he wanted to make the same mistake again?!

A typical case of remembering to eat but forgetting to be disciplined!

"No!" Wei Yunzheng waved his hand, rejecting without hesitation.

"Senior brother, it's okay, it's okay!" Zaizai instantly used her racial advantage, acting cute, hugging Wei Yunzheng's thigh and shaking it, looking up with pleading eyes.

Wei Yunzheng looked at those big, watery eyes and shook his head resolutely.

"You can choose whatever you want to eat, but not Eight Treasures Chicken!"

"Oh, senior brother is the best!" Zaizai continued to plead, not giving up.

Wei Yunzheng turned his head, indicating that he was not falling for it.

Zaizai is useless at being cute, so she wants to act cheap. She releases her hands from holding onto Wei Yunzheng's thighs, sits on the ground, and starts throwing a tantrum.

Wei Yunzheng acts quickly.

Before she can throw herself onto the grass, he grabs her collar and lifts her up.

Zaizai flails her limbs in the air for a few times, then gives up resisting.

"You can't eat Baozhen Chicken. If you continue to act up, I will report you to Master and accuse you of trying to steal Baozhen Chicken!"

"Afterwards, I will send you back to the Cliff of Reflection!"

Wei Yunzheng threatens.

Zaizai turns her head, indicating that she doesn't listen at all!

Wei Yunzheng sighs helplessly and starts walking back while carrying Zaizai.

"Senior, I want to eat Baozhen Chicken. Ever since I ate it last time, Zaizai has been craving it for a long time!"

"No!" Wei Yunzheng reiterates.

"I will use my compensation privilege!"

Wei Yunzheng stops in his tracks.

Zaizai's eyes show a rare cunning, and she smugly says, "The first compensation Zaizai wants is for Senior to take me to eat Baozhen Chicken!"

Headache...

Wei Yunzheng rubs his temples.

He really can't handle this little glutton.

"Senior, you can't go back on your word."

Zaizai suddenly transforms into a clever college student, her eyes filled with innocence and pretense of being wronged.

"Fine."

"I will take you to catch a Baozhen Chicken, but only one!"

Wei Yunzheng finally compromises.

After thinking about it, there are only a few Baozhen Chickens, scattered in various corners of Extreme Emptiness, with no one specifically taking care of them. As long as they are careful when catching the chicken and not discovered by anyone, there shouldn't be any major issues.

After eating, they will destroy the bones. Only the heavens, the earth, I, and Zaizai will know about this. As long as it's not spoken about, there won't be any problems.

If someone discovers that one Baozhen Chicken is missing afterwards, just deny it three times.

It wasn't me!

It's not me!

Don't talk nonsense!

"By the way, Junior Sister, how did Master find out about you stealing the Baozhen Chicken?"

Wei Yunzheng curiously asks.

"Ah!" Zaizai recalls for a few seconds and indignantly says,

"That day, after I ate three Baozhen Chickens and couldn't eat anymore because my stomach was too full, there were still three chicken butts left. I couldn't bear to waste such a delicious part, so I brought the remaining three chicken butts to Master."

"As a result, Master said that the chicken couldn't be eaten and scolded me for a while, then punished me to face the wall. It's really despicable!"

"........."

Not hitting you is already being lenient.

Let's not even talk about the fact that Ba Zhen Ji is prohibited from being consumed. Who in their right mind would serve someone else the chicken's butt?

Wei Yunzheng complained in his heart.

"Where did you catch the Ba Zhen Ji before?" He inquired, preparing to take action once he found a good location.

Although the Ba Zhen Ji is free-range, it's likely that if Zaizai could catch three of them, there would probably be more.

"I forgot..." Zaizai scratched his head, chuckled a few times, and then slowly spoke, "Although Zaizai can't remember where he caught the chicken last time, he knows where it is nearby."

This little brat is getting cocky!

"Well, let's go then!" Wei Yunzheng decisively gave Zaizai a mental smack.

The silly and cute junior martial sister waved her fists in dissatisfaction.

........

After burning an incense stick.

Wei Yunzheng followed Zaizai, who was skipping and hopping, and walked deep into the mountains behind Si Guo Cliff.

"Oh, right!"

Zaizai suddenly remembered something, turned around, and lowered his head to search. He took out a cloth bag and opened it to reveal two preserved fruits.

However, after the recent baptism of the river water, the surface of the preserved fruits became sticky, which made Zaizai slightly disappointed.

"What's wrong, junior martial sister?"

"Senior brother... Zaizai has been saving these two preserved fruits for you, but it seems like they can't be eaten anymore."

"It's okay." Wei Yunzheng rubbed Zaizai's head and rewrapped the preserved fruits. "Is Zaizai trying to give something to senior brother?"

"Mhmm!"

Zaizai nodded.

"Well, in that case, when senior brother catches the Ba Zhen Ji, leave a chicken leg for senior brother. That can be the gift Zaizai gives to senior brother!"

Wei Yunzheng came up with a compromise.

Upon hearing this, Zaizai didn't hesitate and shook her head vigorously like a tambourine.

"Dahmeh!!!~"

"........."

Wei Yunzheng was completely speechless.

The matter of the preserved fruits was skipped, and the two continued to walk deeper into the mountains. Along the way, Zaizai picked a few small flowers and made a flower crown to wear on her head.

"Doesn't it look good, senior brother?"

"It looks good!"

"Senior sister, where exactly is the Ba Zhen Ji?"

"It's not far ahead, Zaizai saw it once before but it escaped. This time, with senior brother here, we will definitely succeed!"

After a while.

Wei Yunzheng stopped in his tracks. They had now reached the deepest part of the mountain behind Si Guo Cliff, and in front of them was a vertical stone tablet with the words "No Entry" written on it.

This was the forbidden area of Si Guo Cliff.

It was also the place where the legendary unrivaled demon emperor was suppressed.

"Junior sister, this is the forbidden area ahead. We can't go any further."

Wei Yunzheng held Zaizai's small hand, stopping her from continuing forward.

"But... but we still haven't caught the Eight Treasure Chicken," Zaizai said with dissatisfaction, her heart set on the Eight Treasure Chicken.

"But that's not possible either. Senior Brother can take you to another place to catch it," Wei Yunzheng patiently tried to coax her.

He thought to himself that as long as Zaizai didn't listen, he would grab her by the back of her neck and walk back.

"Okay!" Zaizai was about to reluctantly turn back when suddenly her eyes lit up and she excitedly pointed ahead. "Senior Brother, look over there!"

Wei Yunzheng looked up and saw it.

About ten meters behind the stone tablet.

A mysterious bird had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.

It resembled a chicken but not quite, with a sleek and agile body similar to that of an eagle. Its neck was long and slender, quite extraordinary, but it had a bright red comb on its head.

Its feathers were colorful, as if adorned with gorgeous tassels, shimmering and radiant. In the shining light, it seemed like a divine bird!

Wei Yunzheng was stunned.

"Eight Treasure Chicken!" Zaizai shouted, rushing straight towards it, ready to catch the chicken.

Without looking back, she rushed into the forbidden area.

"Wait!" Wei Yunzheng shouted.

Zaizai paid no attention and pounced directly towards the Eight Treasure Chicken. Sensing the danger, the Eight Treasure Chicken flapped its wings and tried to escape.

Continuously making hoarse clucking sounds.

In an instant, the illusion of the divine bird shattered.

The Eight Treasure Chicken was just for show, with long and spread-out wings, but it couldn't actually fly. Moreover, the sound it made was unpleasant, completely mismatched with its splendid appearance.

There was no time to think about that now.

Wei Yunzheng watched Zaizai run into the forbidden area chasing after the Eight Treasure Chicken and quickly followed.

Although Zaizai was not tall and only had a pair of short legs, she ran as if the wind was beneath her feet, fast and agile.

She quickly caught up to the Eight Treasure Chicken.

"Ah-woo!"

A move resembling a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

She leaped directly, but at a critical moment, the Eight Treasure Chicken stopped and swiftly turned around.

"Ah-ah~"

Zaizai fell flat on her back.

Wei Yunzheng, who was chasing after, happened to collide with the turning Eight Treasure Chicken.

Quick eyes and quick hands.

He grabbed the throat of fate and lifted the Eight Treasure Chicken.

"Got it!"

Wei Yunzheng waved the Eight Treasure Chicken in front of Zaizai, who had just gotten up. She immediately smiled, forgetting the pain from the fall.

At this moment.

Suddenly.

The sky darkened, and the air became much colder.

Zaizai's smile faded, and she looked behind Wei Yunzheng, her eyes wide open.
