Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

Chapter 264.1

After returning to Wuling City, Feng Shao fell into a busy life. During the day, he had to convene various meetings of officials of all ranks, and at night, he had to go home to spend time with his wife and young son. Now that Feng Shao has a wife and children, he has achieved his ideal life of “grasping both love and career,” but his busy life also makes his feet almost never touch the ground.

After giving birth, Lin Xiaoran started working again before a full month had passed. She didn’t want to be treated as a vase, so she thought about doing more. Even though Feng Shao asked her to rest more, she just ignored him.

When the couple was busy with work, Feng Lingxue took the initiative to take care of the little one.

Feng Lingxue had a younger brother before, so she had some experience in taking care of children. Except for breastfeeding, she could do almost everything else. Moreover, she didn’t care how tedious and troublesome it was to take care of a child, but she enjoyed it.

In addition to the child, there was another creature that Feng Lingxue also took care of. That was the little phoenix that was born on the same day as Feng Lingyu.

The little phoenix grows much faster than a child and can run around on the ground the next day. But looking at its appearance, if one didn’t know its origin, everyone would simply mistake it for a chick with a special color.

Lin Xiaoran was really worried that, one day, the little phoenix would run around and be caught and stewed as a chick, so after thinking it over, she simply found a box to put it in and really raised it as a chick.

However, the question of what kind of food to feed the little phoenix troubled both Lin Xiaoran and Feng Shao.

If they were raising actual chicks, they could just feed them some grains, and when they grow bigger, they could mix in some insects. But for the phoenix species… what should they feed them?

Various ancient books have their own opinions on this.

Some say that phoenixes eat flames. This theory sounds more reliable, so Feng Shao tried to feed the little phoenix some Nine Heavens Fire. If phoenixes really eat flames, then Nine Heavens Fire should be considered a high-quality feed for them, right? Unfortunately, as soon as the little phoenix saw the Nine Heavens Fire, it was immediately scared and ran around on the ground, chirping non-stop. Not to mention eating it, it looked like the little phoenix was afraid of being roasted by the Nine Heavens Fire.

So Feng Shao had to change to other flames. With the Qiankun Palace’s full set of assets to rely on, it was not difficult for Feng Shao to take out other flames. But soon, Feng Shao found that the phoenix was afraid of high-level flames such as the Nine Heavens Fire and the True Sun’s Flame, let alone eating them. The little phoenix was not afraid of the intermediate ones such as the Six Yang Spirit Fire and the Bifang Flame, but it seemed that it had no appetite. After changing to the Samadhi True Fire, the little phoenix was finally able to eat a little, but it was not much.

It seems that just feeding it with flames won’t make it grow. Maybe the little phoenix can eat some Nine Heavens Fire when it grows up, but it probably can’t do that now.

So Feng Shao continued to think of a solution.

There are also ancient books saying that the phoenix race eats “dragons”. However, the “dragon” mentioned here seems to be the name of an ancient snake, not a true dragon. After all, the status of a true dragon is no lower than that of a phoenix, so how could it become the food of a phoenix? It’s just that Feng Shao didn’t know what this ancient snake looked like, so he could only try to feed it other kinds of snakes.

In view of the size of the little phoenix, Feng Shao found only newly hatched snakes for the little phoenix. But even the young snakes were not much smaller than the little phoenix. The little phoenix circled the young snake left and right, chirping for a while, then looked up at Feng Shao, looking confused. The look in its eyes seemed to be asking, “What is this?”

Feng Shao: “…”

It seems that feeding it snakes is not an option.

Snakes won’t work, and flames can only be used as snacks. In the end, Feng Shao had no choice but to feed it with the spiritual rice that cultivators usually eat.

This time, it seemed that the right feed was finally chosen. When the little phoenix saw the spiritual rice, it rushed over without hesitation and started to eat it with relish. In just a short while, the little phoenix had eaten until its belly was full. After eating, the little phoenix stretched its neck and burped, then found a corner in the box and fell asleep.

Feng Shao: “…”

It seems that some ancient books are not very reliable. If he had known that phoenixes could be raised like chickens, he wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble.

Three days after birth, the little phoenix gradually grew red all over its body, no longer bald as it was when it was first born. But the little phoenix covered with down looked more like a chick, and it did not look like the majestic king of birds at all.

But then again, this little phoenix is quite cute.

Since the little phoenix was born almost at the same time as Feng Lingyu, the box containing the little phoenix has always been placed next to Feng Lingyu’s cradle. Feng Lingxue usually feeds the little phoenix while taking care of Feng Lingyu. This should be a normal scene, but for some reason, Feng Shao always has an inexplicable sense of déjà vu after watching it, as if he saw a rural girl who had grown up early taking care of her younger brother while feeding chickens…

With Feng Lingxue sharing the responsibilities of raising children and chickens—oh no, raising phoenixes—Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran both felt much more relaxed. The couple could devote more energy to the construction of Wuling City.

However, while the construction of Wuling City was in full swing, the matter of Qiankun Palace fermented again.

Throughout history, Qiankun Palace has appeared many times, and each time it appeared, it caused a great stir. Every time, many forces would send disciples to explore opportunities with the idea of ”trying their luck.” Although most of them would die in it, every time there were people who thought that they would be the luckiest person, so there were still many people who flocked to it.
