Chapter 905: Four Wooden People
Under the astonished and envious gazes of many alien players, Xiao Feng led everyone to teleport to the City of Flying Birds.
Many players come and go in the City of Flying Birds, and when they appeared, they attracted much attention.
Ignoring the exclamations of passersby, Xiao Feng led a group of people mightily toward the palace.
The teleportation array is very close to the palace gate; they arrived shortly after.
Xiao Feng had his teammates wait in the small square, while he himself, holding 【Feather's Song】, flew straight in, encountering no obstruction along the way.
It was bad timing today; the Flying Bird Divine Kingdom surprisingly wasn't holding a court assembly!
Xiao Feng asked about the whereabouts of the Flying Bird Deity, then flew to the Imperial Garden where they had last met.
Even from a distance, the fragrance of a hundred flowers already came blowing toward him.
As he neared the Imperial Garden in the sky, Xiao Feng unexpectedly saw a strange sight!
Only to see that in the Flying Bird Deity's Hundred Flowers Garden, there actually were four women with black wings growing from their backs!
Some were heroic and spirited, some alluring and charming, some pure and pretty, some cold and gorgeous……all were of outstanding beauty and excellent figures, remarkable mortal beings!
Yet at this moment, each one was listless and dazed, like clay figurines sitting around the large wooden post table, motionless!
"What the hell? What's going on?"
Xiao Feng instantly recognized that two of the black-winged women were precisely the Fourth Generation Bird King An Qianla and the Sixth Generation Bird King Ha Weina, whom he had previously beaten and let go!
The other two, though unfamiliar, could be guessed from the scene to be the missing Third Generation and Seventh Generation Flying Bird Deities!
They had all actually come to the City of Flying Birds, and even gathered together with the current Flying Bird Deity Xiu Fu—it was utterly strange!
"Xiao Feng the Warrior, you've returned!"
The present Flying Bird Deity, Xiu Fu—one of the Three Great Beauties of the Shen Jie who alone in the garden possesses white wings—was now wearing a casual sheer dress. Perhaps because wings on her back make clothing difficult, her entire back was bare, her snow-white skin clearly visible, so white it was dazzling.
Seeing Xiao Feng, she showed a look of joy, her expression also carrying the feeling of having found a savior.
Xiao Feng was somewhat puzzled.
He glanced at the four clay‑like former deities and asked, "What's this? How did they end up here with you?"
Xiu Fu replied helplessly, "Xiao Feng the Warrior, these seniors' souls have all been destroyed by the wicked Primordial Ancestor, leaving only a fragment of soul within them, so most of the time they are muddled and confused, only rarely regaining clarity. After you rescued them, they returned here by instinct, trying to recover their missing souls through memories of the past. But this method is utterly useless; the lost souls cannot be returned…… I also don't know how to deal with them."
The four fallen deities were former rulers of the Flying Bird Divine Kingdom, and they are her seniors.
To simply drive them away or capture them would be too disrespectful to the ancestors.
But keeping them here serves no purpose either, for their souls will not recover. Instead, because of their muddled state, they might suddenly go berserk and harm those around them.
These four are peak existences of lower deities; although their power has been drained, they are still stronger than ordinary titled deities. Once they go mad, perhaps even Xiu Fu alone couldn't subdue them!
This is a very troublesome problem; Xiu Fu has been bothered by it for a day.
Xiao Feng's arrival gave her some hope.
This handsome human warrior, who could even slay the fallen Feather Emperor, surely could handle this "little trouble"!
Xiu Fu looked at Xiao Feng with a face full of hope.
Xiao Feng, however, frowned and said, "What does this have to do with me? My task is only to help you kill the Demonic Feather Emperor. Now that the Feather Emperor is dead and his heart is here, you ought to give me the promised reward."
Saying that, he directly took out 【Heart of the Demonic Feather Emperor】 and handed it to Xiu Fu.
The Heart of the Demonic Feather Emperor is about the size of a volleyball, still throbbing with a thump‑thump; held in his hand, drop after drop of purplish‑black demon blood trickles down his finger joints, looking rather bloody.
"Uh, this……"
The instant the Feather Emperor's heart appeared, a pressure from the bloodline made Xiu Fu's knees go weak, almost causing her to kneel.
She quickly took a breath, resisting that bloodline‑originating pressure, and steadied herself.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the four fallen deities sitting nearby all rise to their feet, expressionlessly walk to a point three meters from Xiao Feng, and kneel down in unison!
"Servant greets master!"
This wooden utterance was spoken simultaneously from the mouths of the four fallen deities.
Xiao Feng was instantly stunned.
Xiu Fu was also stunned.
"What the hell is this?" Xiao Feng, already confused, was now even more at a loss after they knelt like that.
The Feather Emperor's people are all dead, yet a single heart can make four deity‑level powerhouses' bodies call it "master" and kneel in submission?
This damn…… how many years of training would it take to train such a degree of obedience?
Xiao Feng stood there stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Xiu Fu looked at the four ancestors kneeling on the ground, her brows slightly furrowed, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Xiao Feng kept his hand extended, offering the heart, but no one took what he held.
A few seconds later, the four fallen deities, still in a kneeling posture with hands and knees on the ground, crawled toward him.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Feng thought, a not‑so‑good idea occurring to him.
The Sixth Generation Flying Bird Deity Ha Weina, whom he had bound several times with a soul‑binding rope, replied in one sentence: "Serve the master."
Then she was the first to crawl to his feet, extending her fair hands to grab his belt, trying to undo it.
"What the hell! Don't mess around! I'm a decent person!"
Xiao Feng jumped back a great step in fright.
The four fallen deities with incomplete souls, like robots executing a preset program, wanted to perform for him some show unsuitable for children.
Although Xiao Feng also quite enjoys playing that, facing four soulless‑deficient NPCs, and moreover in front of Xiu Fu, one of the Three Great Beauties of the Shen Jie, it's obviously impossible to obey!
He would be embarrassed!
He hurriedly put the Feather Emperor's heart away, lest the situation continue to escalate.
He even used water magic to wash the bloodstains off his hands clean and spotless, so no trace would remain!
The atmosphere in the Imperial Garden became somewhat awkward.
After the Feather Emperor's demonic heart was put away, the four deities froze in the distance—two maintaining a kneeling‑standing pose, two kneeling seated on the ground, their eyes vacant.
Xiao Feng was somewhat puzzled, walking toward the Fallen Knight Ansera who was said to have searched for remnant souls in the wild area of the Bird Tribulation dungeon, and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"Hey, hey? Grandma Ansera, are you alright? Can you hear me?" Xiao Feng said.
The Fallen Knight's chief deity gave no reply.
Her eyes were empty, containing nothing but bewilderment.
This state either meant she hadn't found any remnant souls, or the soul fragments she had found were too few to restore her sanity.
Xiufu pleaded, "Warrior Xiao Feng, since you help people to the end, please do me a favor and take them with you as well!"
