#That person from Lingshen Sect has taken a disciple#
The news that the iceberg, who was rarely seen in a thousand years, had accepted a bird of unknown origin as a disciple had spread completely. What caused people to criticize this matter was that no bloodline power could be seen in that bird. It was vaguely heard from the mouths of high-ranking members of the Bird Clan that it belonged to a collateral branch of a collateral branch of a collateral branch of the Phoenix Clan… If one really had to argue about it, the rest of the Bird Clan sighed endlessly over Ling Yan’s rejection. They all felt that Qian Wanyu, that unwanted bird, had stepped in dog luck.
Ling Yan held high prestige in the Bird Clan and was the leader among the Bird Clan’s cubs. Not only had she awakened the Fire Spirit earlier than other birds and grown five-colored feathers, but she was also the princess of the Bird Clan due to her noble status.
In the end…
Her good luck was snatched away by Qian Wanyu, that ugly bird.
Jian Tongyao’s light wave of her hand earlier did not use much force, but the damage to the defenseless cub was huge. Ling Yan had finally woken up after drinking the Hundred Flower Dew. When she heard that Jian Tongyao had accepted that lowly bird who always confronted her as a disciple, she became so enraged that she spat out a ball of fire and fainted again.
As for the ugly bird being discussed by everyone, she was currently rolling around on the luxurious bed Jian Tongyao had prepared for her. Because she was too smug, she accidentally rolled too far and went splat, collapsing into a bird pancake.
“Jiu.”
Jian Tongyao, hiding in the dark, felt pain on the other party’s behalf just hearing the sound. She wished she could show herself immediately to comfort her. However, this Qian Jiujiu, whose happiness value was only ten points, clearly did not need her comfort. She played dead for a while, then flew back to her nest with unusual proficiency to roll around some more. It was unknown how long she rolled, but when she got tired, she slept soundly with her limbs sprawled out, occasionally letting out one or two chirps.
Jian Tongyao set up a barrier inside the room and silently observed Seventh Sister’s current small body. She was a little bird only the size of a palm. If anyone just pinched her casually, they might hurt her.
According to the trajectory of the original world, Ling Yan’s final achievement of the orthodox Phoenix Clan bloodline relied entirely on devouring Seventh Sister.
Jian Tongyao extended her index finger and tapped the air gently. She wanted to touch her, but she was afraid of waking the bird. She watched infatuatedly for a long time before leaving.
As soon as she left, the birds keeping watch in the dark all fluttered and rushed in, attempting to teach this ugly bird with exploding good luck a small lesson.
The result was bang, bang.
Without exception, they all crashed until they were dizzy and seeing stars, unable to tell north from south for a long time.
Jian Tongyao only felt the barrier vibrate after she had walked a thousand miles away. However, she expected that no one could break the barrier she had set up, so she peacefully continued to search for the great opportunity Ling Yan had previously obtained on her mountain peak in the original world.
“Dingding, Seventh Sister is about to wake up. Locate this for me.”
Remembering Dingding’s previous business capabilities… Jian Tongyao added a sentence at the last minute.
“Do you know how to scan? It is a bead related to the Fire Spirit. Where exactly is it?”
Ding!
“Xiao Jiu, I found it. Wu…”
Jian Tongyao was in a rush and completely missed Dingding’s hesitation at the end. Following the map, she quickly found the hot spring. The hot spring here was emitting dense steam, and the water surface was still bubbling like boiling water. She drained the water from the hot spring neatly and efficiently. Soon, that glittering fire spirit bead appeared. It was beautiful, dazzling, and radiant.
“When Seventh Sister sees this, she will definitely like it.”
She swept her palm over it. The fire spirit bead did not fly up but instead rolled twice at the bottom of the pool. The side that rolled up was stained with a little gilding, looking both noble and bright.
“Strange, why is the fire spirit bead stained with a Gold Spirit?”
“Xiao Jiu.”
Jian Tongyao did not seem to believe in heresy. She used fifty percent of her strength. Not only did she suck up the fire spirit bead, but she also sucked out a golden snake at the same time?
No.
There seemed to be small claws under the snake.
A Dragon!!!
The little golden dragon hugged its treasure tightly, its long dragon tail swaying in the wind.
Jian Tongyao was dumbfounded. She refilled the pool with warm water and extended a finger to poke the dragon body lying in her palm, its tail drooping limply.
“Why did you appear on my turf?”
Dividing turf was the most common occurrence in this world.
Jian Tongyao had a mountain peak of her own in the Lingshen Sect. The ownership of the spiritual plants and spiritual objects in the mountain belonged entirely to her. However, the original body owner was lazy and focused solely on secluded cultivation. Aside from ascension, her mind cared for almost nothing else, which instead allowed some little demons who wanted to cultivate but had nowhere to go to mooch off the spiritual energy.
Ever since she accepted Ling Yan, a disciple who was obedient and saved her worry, the trivial matters in the mountain were almost all managed by Ling Yan.
The small snake had looked half-dead originally, clutching the fire spirit bead and refusing to let go. However, as soon as it smelled Jian Tongyao’s aura, it immediately slid happily. It swam and swam, twisted and twisted, climbed up her shoulder, and then coiled up like incense, remaining motionless.
The fire spirit bead in Jian Tongyao’s palm was a bit hot to the touch.
“???”
She attempted to take this little golden dragon away and throw it out.
Every time, this Golden Dragon would swim and swim again, persevering to climb onto her shoulder and coil into an incense shape. After dozens of times, Jian Tongyao was too lazy to move anymore. Raising one was raising a pet, raising two was also raising pets. Perhaps if she raised it to be familiar, it could help her protect Seventh Sister.
System 5438 remained silent.
Quiet as a chicken.
Jiu jiu jiu!
This voice sounded particularly energetic. It seemed Qian Jiujiu had woken up. As a result, when Jian Tongyao returned with a beautiful mood, what welcomed her was a courtyard full of fluttering wings.
“Ahem.”
“Jiu jiu!”
“Little wretched bird, I’m going to teach you a lesson.”
Jian Tongyao’s face darkened slightly. She was already planning to sweep out these chirping members of the Bird Clan who were making her head hurt with a single palm strike. Unexpectedly, Qian Jiujiu, who looked weak and fragile in her eyes, unleashed a frenzy of pecks at Ling Yan. She pecked the other party so hard that Ling Yan didn’t even have time to breathe fire, only spinning in circles and screaming.
Qian Jiujiu stretched her neck, chasing behind Ling Yan with immense smugness. She pecked as she chased, fast and ruthless, not suffering any loss at all.
This scene…
No matter how one looked at it, it resembled a chick with ungrown wings chasing an old hen and counter-pecking it with its life on the line.
The other birds also chirped noisily, presumably cheering for Ling Yan or something similar. Ling Yan lost all face. Holding back a breath of anger, a ball of firelight emerged from her mouth.
Jian Tongyao watched as Ling Yan actually failed to spit it out immediately and was pecked miserably for another two rounds. Seeing that the ball of fire was getting bigger and bigger, Ling Yan suddenly fluttered and flew into the sky. A brewed ball of fire sprayed toward Qian Jiujiu, who did not have time to stop. Jian Tongyao immediately stopped watching the show. With a casual wave, she swept that ball of fire, which could have taken Seventh Sister’s life, to the side.
Boom.
The flames instantly swallowed the tree beside them.
“You have such bold guts.”
“Jiu.”
Jian Tongyao carefully cupped Qian Jiujiu, who had suffered a slight fright, in her palms.
“From now on, without my order, the Bird Clan may not step into the Lingshen Sect again.”
Her words were equivalent to an imperial decree in the Lingshen Sect.
As soon as these words were spoken, the rumor that Jian Tongyao loved her disciple as her own life spread like wildfire. They all said she was so angry that her hair stood up, and she almost beat Ling Yan to death. If the Sect Leader hadn’t stopped her in time, she probably would have gone to war with the Bird Clan.
Of course, reality was not that exaggerated.
Jian Tongyao did not want to draw too much hatred for the time being. She really disliked the look in Ling Yan’s eyes when she looked at Qian Jiujiu. That killing intent was fine for fooling other members of the Bird Clan, but trying to fool her was a bit inadequate.
“You, ah. Why didn’t you wait for Master to return?”
“She was asking for a beating, jiu.”
Qian Wanyu didn’t want to either. After all, when she woke up from a nap and a group of troublemaking birds clamored at her door, how could she tolerate it? Furthermore, among them was her enemy, the enemy who had bullied her since childhood.
Relying on her good family background and pure bloodline, Ling Yan had always looked down on her. The group of birds following behind Ling Yan would come to find trouble with her from time to time.
She endured and endured again until there was no need to endure.
After several defeats, Qian Wanyu successfully transformed into a Battle Jiu. In the end, regardless of whether Ling Yan started trouble or not, the two would definitely fight as soon as they met.
Those who didn’t accept the challenge were Coward Jius.
Jian Tongyao looked at her small body covered in bruises. At first, she thought the little fellow had the upper hand. When she returned to the room and took a closer look, she realized that with a casual brush of her hand, many bird feathers fell out and revealed the red flesh underneath. The baldness was very obvious.
She looked at her, feeling both angry and amused, and decided absolutely not to let the other party look in the mirror these coming days.
“Be good, Jiu. Come, look at what Master found for you.”
The fiery red Spirit Bead emitted a steady stream of heat. Soon, it made sizzling sounds on the bed covered with parasol tree leaves.
Qian Wanyu’s eyes sparkled like the Spirit Bead. She tried to play with it by balancing it on her head.
“Thank you, Master, jiu.”
Seeing that she was playing happily, Jian Tongyao watched as she balanced it on her head for a few rounds before holding it in her beak as if to hide food. Unfortunately, the bead was too big. After dropping it a few times, she acted like she was hoarding food and hid it under her neck, rolling and rolling. Wherever the bead went, her stretched neck rolled along with it. Fortunately, the bed was big enough.
Hahahaha.
“Dingding, quickly record this appearance of Seventh Sister as a fledging. I want to show it to Seventh Sister in the future.”
“Okay!”
Only after she had played enough and fell asleep holding the fire spirit bead did Jian Tongyao help heal her injuries. Watching the wounds heal, scab over, and even grow new flesh, she finally felt at ease.
Only, where it was bald, it was bald. Judging from the red flesh parts and the newly grown flesh parts, Qian Jiujiu now had three colors. She was only one step away from being multicolored.
Jian Tongyao looked distressed.
“It seems there is no way to use spiritual power to force these feathers to grow.”
Seventh Sister was such a girl who loved beauty. If she saw herself bald like this, she would probably go mad with anger. She was already a little inferior. She shouldn’t suffer this kind of stimulation and become withdrawn from shock.
Facts proved that her worries came true.
Jiu!!!!!!
The sound was sharp and piercing, filled with helplessness and terror.
Jian Tongyao had almost never heard Qian Jiujiu scream like this. Scared until her heart and liver trembled, she directly used ‘shrinking the ground into inches’ to find her. She saw a bald boiled chicken jumping and hopping by the water, chirping jiu jiu jiu like crazy. She even fluttered to fly over, then plop, smashed ruthlessly into the water.
She rubbed her forehead. She had thought about it all night but never expected this to happen. Looking at it this way, she actually seemed somewhat symmetrical because all the feathers had fallen out overnight, leaving only two colors remaining.
If Qian Jiujiu could breathe fire, this river would probably have been dried up by now.
Jian Tongyao rushed forward quickly. She hurriedly fished the drowned chicken onto the shore and used spiritual power to evaporate the water on the other party’s body. She saw Qian Jiujiu with her head hanging low and curled up into a ball, and she felt utterly dispirited.
“Actually, it looks quite nice.”
“…”
Qian Jiujiu suddenly raised her head and pecked her once, firelight drifting in the depths of her eyes.
“Liar, jiu.”
Jian Tongyao couldn’t bear to see the other party sad. She hurriedly took out her trump card and brought out the small clothes she had rushed to make all night. To match Qian Jiujiu’s noble status, she had them specially woven in seven colors.
“Wear this, and you will be the most beautiful Jiu of the Phoenix Clan.”

Storyteller Kliraz's Words
This is a short fifty-chapter novel updating every other day, so you can bookmark it and follow the full run. Before I started, I checked NU and there was no listing at all, so I genuinely thought no one had picked it up. I only discovered another version after my team had already finished their assigned parts, so I couldn’t back out anymore. This was never meant as a snipe. Thank you for understanding and for reading with us!
