Chapter 78 Taking the Phoenix and Black Tortoise Out of the Herb Field
Time passed by, and I gradually became immersed in it. Sleepiness came over me like a tide, and soon I was so tired that I closed my eyes tightly.
Everything in my mind seemed to be cleared away, my consciousness gradually blurred, and I fell into a deep sleep.
When the morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and fell on my face, I slowly opened my eyes.
Strangely, I usually hear the sounds of various animals outside the window, but today it was unusually quiet, without a single sound.
After I finished washing up, I strolled to the window and gazed at the trees outside.
Sure enough, no animals appeared.
I gently pushed open the window, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, making me shiver.
It turned out that the air conditioner had been running in the room, blowing cold air, and the wind outside the window was even colder than the air inside.
This means winter is coming soon, and perhaps the New Year will follow.
Looking back on that world, there was only a sense of festive spirit when my master was alive.
Now that I am in this world, I wonder how I will get through the year-end.
After all, the people here all come from large families, while my own family situation is somewhat complicated.
As for my family, I'll think about that later.
I snapped out of my thoughts, went downstairs, and headed straight for the restaurant.
Breakfast time had already begun, and many people were sitting around the table enjoying a hearty meal.
When they saw me, they all smiled warmly and greeted me in a friendly manner.
I smiled and responded to everyone, then casually found an empty seat and sat down.
Just as I was about to enjoy a delicious breakfast, I suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
I looked up and saw Han Heng walking out of his house and heading towards the dining room.
When he saw me, he looked surprised, then quickened his pace to walk over to me and sit down.
The uncles and aunts here all know him. As soon as he sat down, someone brought him food.
Han Heng and I sat at the dining table, quietly enjoying our breakfast.
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the dining table, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
As we savored the food, we would occasionally glance at each other, our eyes filled with tenderness and love.
Yan Luo, Ye Dongjun, Sikong Feng, and Qin Yimeng entered the restaurant one after another.
When they saw Han Heng and me, they smiled and greeted us, then sat down next to us.
Everyone started chatting, sharing funny stories from their childhood and snippets of their lives.
After Han Heng and I finished eating, we didn't leave. Instead, we sat there quietly looking out the window. We would say a few words occasionally, but most of the time we remained silent.
We enjoyed this peaceful moment, feeling each other's company and warmth.
After everyone else had finished eating, we got up together to go home.
Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Han Heng and I walked at the very back, hand in hand, exchanging smiles every now and then, our hearts filled with happiness.
Back home, we each do what we like, or spend a lovely morning together.
I flashed into the herb field. The two little creatures' longing for me grew stronger, constantly calling out to me in my heart.
Sure enough, as soon as I stepped into the medicinal herb field, they couldn't wait to fly to my side.
"Master, do you no longer love us? Why don't you ever come to visit us?"
"Phoenix said with a hint of grievance," the phoenix said. The black tortoise stubbornly turned away, but its slightly trembling ears betrayed its inner longing.
It was then that I realized I had been busy with other things lately and had neglected them.
I gently stroked the phoenix's soft, smooth feathers and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I've been quite busy lately. How about this, I can take you out and prepare a private room for each of you, what do you think?"
Phoenix and Black Tortoise's eyes gleamed with excitement after hearing my suggestion. They nuzzled my hand affectionately, indicating their agreement.
So I took them and left the herb field, and came to the outside world.
I found a room filled with sunlight and various beautiful flowers for the phoenix; while the black tortoise has a room near the water, where it can swim freely at any time.
After everything was arranged, I watched them live happily in their new environment and felt incredibly satisfied.
I've decided to take better care of them from now on and not let them feel neglected anymore.
Looking at everything before me, a sense of emotion welled up within me.
When I chose this nature-themed house, I was worried that there might be some inconveniences, but now it seems to be the right decision.
Otherwise, just preparing rooms for these two little ones would take a lot of effort.
The two little ones seemed to be full of curiosity and love for their new home, excitedly flying around the rooms as if exploring a whole new world.
Seeing them so happy, he felt genuinely gratified.
However, I couldn't help but remind you, "You two better not mess up my things!"
Upon hearing this, the two little ones immediately stopped what they were doing, nodded obediently, and indicated that they understood.
After all, although they are mischievous and cute, they still listen to him.
At this moment, noticing that these two little ones had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it felt like they could break through again.
I was somewhat surprised by how quickly their strength had improved, but at the same time I was very satisfied.
With their current cultivation level, flying freely in the air doesn't consume much spiritual energy, which makes me look forward to their future development.
I sat quietly on the sofa, watching the two little ones play in the living room, and felt exceptionally relaxed.
At that moment, I felt the warmth and happiness of home, and this feeling made me realize that all my efforts were worthwhile.
I hope this peace and happiness can continue and become a part of my life.
And I decided to introduce them to my good friends, since good friends should play together!
So I thought I'd share my idea with these two little ones who were having so much fun.
They immediately stopped and came to my side. The phoenix first pretended to be deep and said, "Little Xuanxuan, do you think ordinary humans will harm their master if they see us?"
Unexpectedly, Xuanwu, who always hated being called by the name of the phoenix, compromised this time and said, "But the master is talking about her good friend. The master also knows our identities, so she must have considered it carefully. Let's think of a backup plan for her."
"Little Xuanxuan, does that mean you have a good idea?" Phoenix's worried expression immediately turned into an expectant one.
"I'll expose you first, because you're different from ordinary birds, and they won't know unless I use ancient powers. Master, what do you think?"
Xuanwu didn't wait for the phoenix to give it any response and looked directly at me.
"Ah, Little Xuanxuan, you've gone too far!" Phoenix was a little displeased, but she still comforted herself, "Okay, don't be angry, getting angry will make you ugly."
“Xiao Xuanxuan, your idea is good, but I don’t want to tell anyone your identities. I just want everyone to know that you can talk. Otherwise, what will happen when you start talking one day? Last time, everyone was too busy to fight, otherwise, think about it, others would have guessed it long ago.” I sighed softly, a hint of helplessness and worry in my eyes.
I know these little guys have extraordinary abilities, but I'm also worried that their special identities might cause trouble if they're leaked.
After all, the world is not always friendly, and people are often filled with fear and suspicion towards the unknown.
I looked at Xiao Xuanxuan, a hint of tenderness flashing in my eyes: "I didn't want you to get hurt, which is why I haven't revealed your secret. But now it seems we need to find a suitable way to handle this issue, one that can protect your safety while also making everyone accept your existence."
Little Xuanxuan blinked her big eyes, seemingly understanding what I meant.
It nodded, indicating its agreement with my thoughts. Although they are still very young, they have already shown amazing intelligence and adaptability.
I patted Xiao Xuanxuan's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, let's think of a solution together. We'll definitely find a way to solve the problem. As long as we're united, there's no difficulty that we can't overcome."
Little Xuanxuan rubbed its head against my hand, while the phoenix let out a cheerful cry.
They all believed that their owner would come up with a good way to protect them from external threats.
I am determined to do my best to protect these adorable little creatures and help them grow up healthy and happy in this world.
So when we went to the restaurant for lunch, I had Phoenix stand on my shoulder first, and Black Tortoise lie in my palm first.
My other companions who were protecting me also came over curiously to take a look. I told them all, "These are my pets that I've raised since they were little. This is Huanghuang, the little bird, and Xuanxuan, the little turtle."
After hearing what I said, my friends all expressed surprise and envy.
They surrounded me, carefully observing the phoenix and the black tortoise, and praising them highly.
Someone said, "Wow, that's amazing! Such a beautiful bird is a pet!"
Someone else said, "That turtle looks really smart!"
Some people even tried to reach out and touch them, but I politely declined.
At the same time, the servants also gathered around, filled with affection and curiosity for the phoenix and the black tortoise.
One of the maids exclaimed, "So cute! I really want to touch it!"
Another maid said, "Why do I feel like that little turtle can understand people?"
In response to everyone's enthusiasm, I smiled and said, "Thank you for liking them, but they are a little shy, so please don't disturb them."
So everyone nodded in agreement, showing their understanding and respect.
I feel incredibly proud and fulfilled during this process, because I have these unique and precious companions, and I am able to share this joy with others.
At the same time, I also hope that through this method, more people will understand the special relationship between us and the wonderful experiences it brings.
They chattered in their minds, "That stinky man tried to touch me, hmph, Master is so much better!"
The phoenix was childishly annoyed by the men who wanted to touch it.
Xuanwu simply said, "Phoenix, you're too noisy. Your master won't like it."
Phoenix calmed down, and I comforted them both. Sikong Feng, arm in arm with Yan Luo, came in from outside.
Han Heng walked behind, while Ye Dongjun was on the phone talking to someone, and Ye Dongjun was also holding Qin Yimeng's sleeve with his other hand.
When they saw me, everyone was surprised and amazed, but no one tried to touch them, which instantly won the phoenix over.
"That's what you call gentlemanly and ladylike manners, not touching other people's beloved possessions without permission," Phoenix exclaimed, while Xuanwu simply said, "Master's friends are indeed quite good."
The voices of the phoenix and the black tortoise intertwined in their minds. The phoenix expressed its displeasure at the men who tried to touch it, deeming them impolite; while the black tortoise reminded the phoenix not to make a fuss, lest it displease its master.
When everyone entered the room, although they were amazed by the phoenix and the black tortoise, no one dared to touch them without permission. This respect for the beloved possessions of others pleased the phoenix greatly.
Phoenix exclaimed, "That's what true gentlemanly and ladylike manners are all about!"
Xuanwu simply commented, "My master's friend is indeed quite good."
The reactions of the phoenix and the black tortoise demonstrate their observation and evaluation of those around them, and also reflect their emphasis on etiquette and respect.
I looked at Ye Dongjun and Qin Yimeng with curiosity. Qin Yimeng's expression was very complicated, as if she was angry, aggrieved, and unhappy. In short, it made people feel a little awkward.
After Yan Luo sat down next to me, she whispered, "Didn't Yi Meng want a massage chair just like yours? Dong Jun arranged for someone to get it, but unexpectedly, one of the people responsible for shipping made a mistake, and what was delivered to Yi Meng wasn't the one she wanted. So, Yi Meng went to Dong Jun to ask about it. Now, after Dong Jun called and learned the truth, Yi Meng has this little expression on her face. She probably feels wronged, thinking, 'How could you send me a gift and then send the wrong one?' And her anger is probably directed at the person who sent the wrong item. As for why she's embarrassed, perhaps it's because she misunderstood Dong Jun, thinking that he knew about it but didn't tell her, so her unhappiness turned into embarrassment."
Just as Yan Luo finished explaining to me, Ye Dongjun and Qin Yimeng came to the table.
At this moment, Han Heng sat down to my right and pulled me back to my original position, as I had been leaning towards Yan Luo.
As I listened to the gossip, I subconsciously leaned towards Yan Luo, completely forgetting that I had two little ones on me.
If Han Heng hadn't pulled me back in time, they might have already fallen.
Looking back, we had agreed before we went out not to easily reveal our cultivation level.
After all, there are some ordinary servants here; they are not cultivators. If they see things they shouldn't, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, I must remain vigilant at all times.
I was engrossed in gossip at the time and had no idea that danger was about to strike.
Fortunately, Han Heng reacted quickly and pulled me back, preventing a tragedy from happening.
At the same time, Phoenix and Black Tortoise sensed the danger and immediately enveloped themselves in spiritual energy. But it was too late; Black Tortoise was terrified, while Phoenix looked embarrassed.
I quickly reassured them in my mind, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice just now, did I scare you?" Xuanwu shook its head, indicating that it was okay, but its aggrieved little expression made my heart ache.
I secretly rejoiced; thankfully, Han Heng reacted quickly, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to explain it to the two little ones. At the same time, I also warned myself that I must be more careful in the future and never let something like this happen again.
