After Doctor Tan finished his instructions, Hua Tingxuan generously gave a large sum of spirit stones as he had promised, which made Chu Danfeng exclaim in amazement - where did this kid get so many spirit stones
Hua Tingxuan rubbed Chu Xiaoniao's round head with his fingers and explained lightly: "I saved it up every day."
Then he bowed to the demon doctor and said, "Doctor Tan, can you please have a word with me? I will write down in detail for you how to activate the demon blood... uh, how to prevent the demon blood from being activated."
The old tree demon was first threatened, then charged a generous consultation fee, and was manipulated by both soft and hard tactics. Now that he heard that the family wanted to know more about the condition, there was really no reason to refuse, so he said happily: "Please come to the side hall, I will write it to you in detail."
"Thank you." Hua Tingxuan thanked him and followed him. He was very polite and neither humble nor overbearing, not like a ten-year-old child at all.
Chu Danfeng was filled with emotion as he watched: “Chirp, chirp, chirp.”
—The child has grown up. Look, his every move and gesture is like that of a little adult.
The apprentice at the medical clinic who was translating the bird language for him thought of how Master Hua had knocked down all the guarding monsters in Bencao Hall with one move the moment he entered the door tonight, and he echoed: "Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!"
—Yes, although your junior brother is young, he is very mature and domineering in his behavior, and he is also good in martial arts!
Chu Danfeng didn't think about anything else, thinking: "He is the male protagonist of the Dian family's immortal cultivation novel like Long Aotian, of course he is domineering and has good skills."
So he said modestly: "No, no."
The senior apprentice said: "You and your junior apprentice have such a good relationship. When you had a health problem, he was so anxious that he didn't want to delay for a quarter of an hour. He heard that Master didn't come for night consultations, and he almost wanted to tear down our Herbal Hall... Now he is still running to Master to ask about his condition. He is so considerate. How does the saying go? He has a heart of a tiger that can smell a rose."
Chu Danfeng thought to himself, is this how the saying is used? But this big bird is the only living thing that can communicate with him since he turned into a bird. Chu Danfeng cherishes it very much, so he shook his tail feathers, jumped onto the pen holder, and continued chatting: "Not bad, not bad. I brought up my little junior brother. We have an extraordinary relationship, just like father and son!"
The big wings behind the apprentice also flapped: "They are like father and son, but no matter how you look at it, he is the one taking care of you..."
Over the years, Chu Danfeng had gotten used to being taken care of by his Sixth Junior Brother, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He even shook his hair with some pride: "This child is very filial!"
After the "filial son" Hua Tingxuan learned how to activate the demon blood, he came out of the side room with a red face and ran into his senior brother chatting happily with the big bird demon. The whole room was filled with their "chi chi chi" laughter, which was very harmonious. The blush on Hua Tingxuan's face faded, and his shy face also changed. He sourly picked up his fur-ball-like senior brother and said to the apprentice with a fake smile: "You are chatting so happily, but it's a pity that it's getting late. We have to leave."
The more polite Hua Lao's tone was, the more terrifying his eyes were. The apprentice was so scared that his hair almost fell off. "Please, please."
"Wait a minute," this time it was Doctor Tan who spoke. Perhaps because the gift was generous enough, his attitude was much more enthusiastic. "In a few days, if there are any changes, you can bring Senior Brother Ling for a follow-up visit. Yinmeng Die can detect the progress of the Melting Pill."
Hua Tingxuan was a little tempted: "Can you lend the Dream-Inducing Butterfly to me temporarily?"
“That won’t do! No matter how many spirit stones I use, it won’t work!” The demon doctor was so nervous that leaves popped out of his head. He protected the small wooden box and said, “This Dream-Attracting Butterfly was cultivated by me from the Crimson Green Butterfly generation after generation. It took me three hundred years of hard work, but I only got one! This is the only spirit pet that doesn’t play tricks on people, doesn’t like killing, and only reports its spirit veins honestly… Do you know how many times I have entered the Butterfly Valley to cultivate it? Do you know how dangerous the Crimson Green Butterfly is?!”
Chu Danfeng's heart moved. He felt that the name 'Jiang Qingdie' sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. However, he was more concerned about Doctor Tan's attitude.
Chu Danfeng flapped his little wings, feeling a little dissatisfied. He felt that the demon doctor was too nervous. Looking at his panic-stricken and fearful look, it was as if his junior brother was some kind of brutal and unreasonable robber who would snatch his precious butterfly at the next moment.
But my junior brother is obviously a well-behaved and sensible child, how could he do such an unreasonable thing
Facts have proved that the junior brother is always well-behaved and kind under Chu Danfeng's nose. He gently said that since it was inconvenient, he would not lend it to him. Then he put his senior brother into his lapel, said goodbye and went back to the inn.
No words were spoken that night.
On the second day, several senior brothers and sisters who didn't see Chu Danfeng went to ask Junior Brother Hua. Before Hua Tingxuan could answer, the little blue bird above his head started to chirp excitedly, and its little wings were almost flapping to leave a shadow.
-Don't tell them yet! This is too embarrassing!
Fortunately, although Hua Tingxuan could not understand bird language, he knew his junior brother very well, so he said calmly: "The junior brother said that he had some things to deal with, don't worry about him, now the mission has been completed, we can just take care of our own things. If the senior brothers and sisters want to return to the sect early, please do so, but Xuan'er will wait here for the junior brother to come back."
Tang Yingdong and Mo Lin both said that they were not in a hurry. The Monster Market only opens once every sixty years, and ordinary cultivators may never have the opportunity to see it in their lifetime. Naturally, no one wanted to go back, and they wished they could stay here for a full hundred days. Only Ji Pan was hesitant. He was tortured by the monster who wanted to be conferred a title last night, and he was a little bit exhausted, but he still held a glimmer of hope. If he could survive, could he go to the Monster Market like the other brothers, try his luck, and look for some opportunities? This was an opportunity he had found with great difficulty.
If it were last night, Hua Tingxuan would have wanted to kill the troublesome Ji Pan with a single sword, but now that his senior brother had turned a disaster into a blessing, he was too lazy to do it to him himself. If Ji Pan was willing to stay in the Monster City, that half-blood weasel who was seeking a title would naturally take care of him. Half-blood monsters had many ways of torturing people, wouldn't it be more interesting than doing it himself
The two of them had their own thoughts, but Tang Yingdong focused his attention on the little blue bird above Hua Tingxuan's head. "How cute! This is the first time I've seen such a fat bird. Junior Brother Hua, where did this little thing come from? Can I touch it?"
It turned out that ever since Chu Danfeng rescued the little Bifang bird, he had kept it in the barrier in his sleeve, and several of his fellow disciples had not seen it yet.
Mo Lin also came over: "This bird has such a strange appearance, one leg, blue feathers... It looks like the mythical bird Bifang, but why does its aura look a bit like a demon dragon? Dragons are lustful, and this one is especially-"
Chu Danfeng: “…”
The medical practitioner's eyes were indeed venomous. Hua Tingxuan was afraid that he would see through the clues, so he grabbed Chu Xiaoniao back and put her back in his arms, saying vaguely, "Senior Sister Tang, Senior Brother Mo, I want to go shopping in the Monster Market, so I won't accompany you any longer."
"Hey!" Seeing him turn around and leave, Tang Yingdong shouted, "How can a little kid like you go out on the street alone? Wait a minute, let's go together!"
Mo Lin held her back, "Sister, forget it. Although Tingxuan is young, he knows how to act properly and won't be in danger." And... didn't you promise me yesterday that we would go to the Monster Market together today? It's just the two of us.
Tang Yingdong said regretfully, "Actually, I'm not worried about that kid. When he was five years old, he was smarter than all the other Lixu Peak disciples combined... I just covet his cock. It has such beautiful fur, and it's round and plump. It looks so nice to touch."
Mo Lin: “…”
"It's okay. Let's wait until Senior Brother Chu comes back," Tang Yingdong said. "I guess that must be Senior Brother Chu's bird. Junior Brother Hua is very protective of anything Senior Brother Chu has. He has been like this since he was a child."
Hua Tingxuan actually took Chu Danfeng to visit the Monster Market.
The Monster Market is not actually a certain bazaar or street, but a trading model that the Monster Clan organizes after the boundary monument is opened, in which the Monster Clan welcomes Taoist friends from the three realms to exchange items. Therefore, there are "Monster Markets" everywhere in the Monster Realm, but the most prosperous one is in Xuanling City.
The atmosphere in Xuanling City during the day was more peaceful than last night. There were fewer creepy night monsters and strange ghost cultivators. There were mostly regular shops on the roadside selling mermaid pearls, poisonous insects, crystals, monster scales, magic tools, herbs, etc. There were even some stalls selling snacks specialties from the monster world. Chu Danfeng felt much more relaxed.
He had gradually gotten used to using his wings—the Bifang bird's single leg did not affect its flexibility—and flapped his wings from Hua Tingxuan's head to his shoulders, chirping and directing his sixth junior brother to buy snacks.
The two stopped at a stall selling candy figures. The vendor was a spider spirit, and his eight hands moved quickly: "What flavor and shape do you want, guest demon?"
Chu Danfeng looked at the various syrups mixed with fruits from the demon world, his mouth watering with greed, and he chirped excitedly. Hua Tingxuan couldn't help laughing and made a decision: "I want the Rat Spirit Fruit flavor, a bird-shaped candy man, and please make a small candy ball of the same flavor to feed my bird."
"Okay!" The spider demon used all seven of its hands to take out the spirit stones, and freed up one hand to pass it to Hua Tingxuan, "Three low-grade spirit stones in total!"
It’s not expensive, the price is fair and there is no deception.
The spider demon first made a sugar bird. The sugar bird was round and plump, and looked exactly like Chu Danfeng at the moment. It was exquisitely made and lifelike. Hua Tingxuan licked it from its round belly to its short tail feathers, and his tongue rolled over every feather, licking it with relish. After each lick, he looked at Chu Danfeng meaningfully, looking at Chu Danfeng... He was greedy.
Why is his sugar ball so slow
Seeing Hua Tingxuan licking it so contentedly, it must be delicious.
Soon, Chu Danfeng's candy balls arrived, a small pile of colorful things that exuded an enticing sweet fragrance. He shook his feathers, flapped his little wings excitedly and flew over. At first, he lowered his head and pecked at them with difficulty, but later he simply lay on his back in Hua Tingxuan's palm, like a little baby bird, with his mouth open, waiting to be fed.
The candy balls had a variety of flavors and were just the right size to eat one at a time. Chu Danfeng was enjoying himself by eating them with a "ahh" and a "ahh" when he suddenly heard a charming female voice: "Little brother, this bird pet is so cute, can you lend it to me to have a look?"
Chu Danfeng tilted his head in confusion and saw a girl in a redwood green skirt looking at Hua Tingxuan with a smile.
The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and wore her hair in playful buns. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and was as bright as if she had walked out of a painting. The most eye-catching thing was that there was a blue butterfly wing pattern at the corner of her eye. It was very small, like a teardrop mole, which made the girl look even more charming and delicate.
Chu Danfeng suddenly realized: Oh wow! He remembered why he felt that 'Jiang Qingdie' was familiar. The girl in front of him was the 'Jiang Qingdie Queen', one of the confidantes of the stallion hero Hua Tingxuan in the original novel!
In his previous life, although he had never been to the Monster Market, the male protagonist had been there and met this concubine.
The crimson green butterfly can see into people's hearts and is also the best at guessing men's thoughts. Therefore, this crimson green butterfly demon is also one of Hua Tingxuan's favorite women in the original novel, and her status is almost the same as that of his childhood sweetheart, Lin Shuer.
The women of the demon clan are accustomed to killing, and the Crimson Green Butterfly clan takes pleasure in playing with people's hearts. They love to kill people and destroy their hearts, and play with men in the palm of their hands. Ordinary mortals don't look down on them, but only young talents with both talent and beauty are destroyed, which is satisfying.
But in the original novel, the "Butterfly King" failed, not because his secret weapon of bewitching people failed, but because he was subdued by the male protagonist.
Yes, the description in the original novel is that the hero Hua Tingxuan is 'quite capable of weapons', and the scene where he subdues the 'Crimson Green Butterfly Queen' is very large and the battle is intense. In the end, the Butterfly Queen bows down at the feet of the hero's green robe, and not only does she not harm him, she also gives him a lot of magic weapons. The hero makes a lot of money during the trip to the Monster City.
But, there is a problem...
In the original novel, they met after sixty years. At that time, Hua Tingxuan had already ruled the demon world, and his own cultivation had reached the Mahayana stage, which could be called half a step to becoming a saint. Because his cultivation was high enough, he had always maintained the appearance of a young man. He was truly a diamond bachelor standing at the top of the pyramid, and could easily make female banshees/humans/demons fall in love with him.
But Hua Tingxuan is only ten years old now! She hasn't grown up yet! ! How can she subdue the 'Butterfly King' if she meets him now? As far as Chu Danfeng knows, this is a strange woman who only cares about her body and not her heart! ! !
No matter what, in his current miserable state, he and his ten-year-old junior brother could form a "old, weak, sick and disabled" boy group, and they were no match for that female demon.
Chu Danfeng sat up with a jerk, his fur puffed up, and he rolled himself into a fat ball. He quietly tickled Hua Tingxuan with his fingers hidden under the fur, urging him to run away without thinking!
But the Butterfly King took a step ahead and grabbed Hua Tingxuan's arm.
Chu Danfeng thought to himself: What a beast! You didn't even let go of a ten-year-old boy? How can you use it
However, the Butterfly King seemed to have no interest in Hua Tingxuan. He stared at the Chu bird in his hand and even licked his lips. He said in a not very dignified way: "Little brother, this candy sister has treated me to a meal, can you lend me your bird to play with?"
