Chapter 151: The Nudi Steals a Snack
Zhang Yi stroked Xiao Pu's head and said, "Eat quickly. You and I are both Jinwu now; we are truly family. If I don't take care of you, who will?"
Xiao Pu nodded.
Looking at Zhang Yi with a half-understanding expression, she asked, "Dad, before I was a Jinwu and you were a Wangri Bird, wasn't that also my dad?"
Zhang Yi laughed, "The one before was a dad without blood ties; this one is a dad with the same bloodline."
Xiao Pu didn't understand this at all.
She swallowed the Seven-Colored Divine Pearl in one gulp.
A seven-colored light suddenly radiated from her body, and her small aura was clearly much stronger than before.
This is the benefit of a Spirit Treasure.
This is also why those Demon Beasts break their heads trying to seize a Lingdi, because there are many Spirit Treasures in a Lingdi.
Having gained the benefit, Xiao Pu felt incredibly comfortable all over.
She flew around Zhang Yi excitedly, calling out, "Thank you, Dad! Dad is the best to me!"
Then, she flew off to another place; as for what she went to do, naturally, it was to show off.
Zhang Yi shook his head with a smile; this little one is truly a clever little ghost.
Just at this moment.
Mother Jubiao suddenly let out an exclamation, and a dazzling glow erupted from her body.
This glow instantly illuminated the entire valley.
Amidst the glow, Mother Jubiao's figure seemed to grow larger, and her feathers became even more vibrant.
A powerful aura radiated from her, and the beings nearby covered their eyes one after another, not daring to look directly.
"Mother, you..."
Zhang Yi looked at Mother Jubiao in pleasant surprise.
He knew this was a sign of a breakthrough in cultivation.
Mother Jubiao restrained her aura and nodded happily, "Yi'er, Mother has finally broken through! This Ancient Rune Jade is truly a divine object!"
She touched the jade pendant in her hand with excitement.
One must know that Mother Jubiao's cultivation was not low, but her progress had been very slow.
Every breakthrough required a long period of time.
It is better this time; having obtained a Spirit Treasure, she advanced by leaps and bounds.
Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction, pretending to be composed, "En, not bad, but there is still room for improvement; you cannot be arrogant."
Mother Jubiao nodded.
She suddenly realized that this brat was making fun of her.
She immediately glared and slapped him.
Zhang Yi rubbed the back of his head in pain.
His gaze shifted to Nudi.
Good heavens, he saw Nudi secretly stuffing pieces of emerald green leaves into her mouth.
Meanwhile, the Pterosaur beside her was holding the remaining few leaves, smiling foolishly, completely unaware that its treasure was being stolen and eaten.
Zhang Yi recognized at a glance that what Nudi was stealing and eating was the Golden Origin Spirit Grass he had given to the Pterosaur!
Zhang Yi helplessly held his forehead; this Nudi is truly speechless, actually stealing food!
However, seeing her eating so deliciously, Zhang Yi could not bear to interrupt her.
Forget it, let her eat; anyway, that silly boy, the Pterosaur, wouldn't notice.
When the Pterosaur finally reacted and saw that only bare stems remained of the leaves he was holding, he was instantly dumbfounded.
"Where is my Golden Origin Spirit Grass? How come only the stems are left?"
He looked around blankly, as if searching for his lost treasure.
Zhang Yi suppressed his laughter and pointed at Nudi on the side.
"There, it's all in her stomach."
Only then did the Pterosaur notice Nudi, who was leisurely picking her teeth, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
"You... you actually stole and ate my Golden Origin Spirit Grass!"
The Pterosaur was so angry he jumped, pointing at Nudi and roaring.
Nudi glanced at him coldly, "The weak are prey to the strong, understand? Anything I, Nudi, take a fancy to is mine."
The Pterosaur was instantly speechless; although he was big, in terms of strength, he was really no match for Nudi.
He looked at Zhang Yi with a grievance, "Brother Yi, look at her..."
Zhang Yi shook his head with a smile, "Alright, don't bicker with her; I'll find you something better later."
"Brother Yi, you are so kind!"
The Pterosaur immediately broke into a smile and hugged Zhang Yi, kissing him.
Zhang Yi pushed him away in disgust, "Go, go, go, don't gross me out!"
Then he turned to Nudi and asked with a half-smile, "Little girl, aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death?"
Nudi raised her chin proudly, "It's worth it even if I'm stuffed to death."
On the edge of the cliff, the wind howled.
A figure was hidden under a black cloak, as if merging into this gloomy world.
He slowly took off his hood, revealing a face covered in deep gullies.
This person was none other than an Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion.
Above his head, a mass of roiling black Demon Race energy squirmed like a living thing.
This black Demon Race energy emitted a low voice, "Heifeng is dead; if you don't want your identity exposed, then obediently cooperate with us."
The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion cursed inwardly: "That piece of trash Heifeng, how could he just die! He's ruined my plans!"
The Demon Race energy seemed capable of reading his thoughts and continued, "He was killed by a Wangri Bird—no, to be precise, he was eaten."
"A Wangri Bird?"
The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion felt a jolt in his heart.
Zhang Yi's face instantly surfaced in his mind.
Damn it! Could it be that brat again!
"What, do you know that Wangri Bird?"
The voice of the Demon Race energy sounded again.
"Hmph, just a wet-behind-the-ears brat."
The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion spoke stiffly, though he was calculating how to respond.
"A brat? That brat is no simple character; Heifeng was swallowed alive by that little bird of his. You had best weigh your options: choose to cooperate with us, or follow in Heifeng's footsteps."
The threatening intent of the Demon Race energy was self-evident.
The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion fell silent, weighing the pros and cons.
While it was certainly dangerous to cooperate with the Demon Race, if the Demon King discovered his collusion with Heifeng, the outcome would be even more miserable.
After much deliberation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree to cooperate with you, but you must also guarantee my safety."
"Rest assured, as long as you listen obediently, we will naturally keep you safe."
The Demon Race energy said, "Now, tell me, what are the Demon King's recent movements?"
The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion dared not delay and poured out everything he knew.
This included the Demon King's recent cultivation progress and the defensive layout of the Demon Saint Mansion.
After listening, the Demon Race energy laughed with satisfaction: "Very good, you have done well. Next, we will give you some tasks that you must complete, otherwise..."
"I know, I know."
The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion nodded hurriedly.
Meanwhile.
Zhang Yi and his group were resting in the valley.
After eating and drinking her fill, Nudi began to give the Quetzalcoatlus a "lesson of love."
"Little Fatty, from now on, you are not allowed to eat things given to you by strangers, do you understand?"
While lecturing the Quetzalcoatlus, Nudi tugged on his wing.
The Quetzalcoatlus nodded, looking aggrieved.
"I understand, Lady Nudi."
Watching this scene, Zhang Yi shook his head helplessly.
He couldn't help but tease, "You two look like quite the couple..."
As soon as the words fell, the Quetzalcoatlus's feathers instantly stood on end.
When he bristled, Nudi bristled even more.
"What? I haven't even said anything yet, and you react so intensely—could it be that you think I'm not good enough for you?!"
The Quetzalcoatlus dared not make a sound and quickly hid behind Zhang Yi.
Jubiao was grooming her feathers to the side; ever since her breakthrough, she had felt warm all over, and more importantly... she discovered she had become more beautiful.
Indeed, breakthroughs in cultivation and the strengthening of Spirit Energy would make one's essence younger and more attractive.
Xiao Pu picked up some wild fruits and delivered them to Zhang Yi.
"Dad has evolved and needs to eat a lot."
"Good girl, Xiao Pu is the most sensible."
Zhang Yi opened his mouth and swallowed them in a few bites.
Yet at this moment, they were completely unaware that in the darkness, a pair of eyes was watching their every move.
