Number One Under Heaven

“Eh?” The pale-faced Xuan Wanshan stands there in shock, unable to process what was going on. One second the Guardian Spirit of the Phoenix’s Continent shows up, and the next it gets swatted into the ocean like an insect.

Surrounded by hot steam and cracks in the air, she looks down at the ocean with the water almost at the boiling point.

“….” She still cannot believe what had just happened. The Guardian Spirit of the Phoenix’s Continent is one of the strongest creatures in the Mortal’s Realm, but somehow it got slapped into the ocean just by Spirit Pressure alone?

She looks at her disciple with wide eyes, “Aaahhh! Tian Yi, what have you done?!? That was the Guardian Spirit of the Phoenix’s Continent, how can you kill it just like that?!?!”

She cannot believe that they’ve just kill the Guardian Spirit of the Phoenix’s Continent! Not only was it their Ancestor, but it was also even their God!

Tian Yi had a fright when his Master suddenly screamed at him, “What?! Master, but I didn’t do anything! It was all Yan Yan’s doing!” He points at her, trying to prove his innocence.

“She’s your Spirit Beast, so you will have to take her responsibilities! How are you going to solve this?! You have just literally slaughtered their Ancestor! Look, we do not even know if its body is still in one piece!” She points at the boiling ocean.

She falls on her knees, “It’s over, we’ve just offended the entire Phoenix’s Continent…” She said in a worried voice.

“Aiya, Yan Yan! Look at what you’ve done. You just made Master yell at me! Why did you even attack it out of nowhere?!?” It was now Tian Yi’s turn to lecture his Spirit Beast.

“But Master, not only did he dared to disrespect you in front of me, he even dared to court me in front of you! If I didn’t punish him a bit, I would’ve lost all my face!” Yan Yan felt wronged.

It was all that stupid bird’s fault that she’s being lectured by her Master. Not to mention this is also her first time being lectured by him!

“But I did not kill that stupid thing, and it is still alive! If I really wanted to kill it, I would have burned his entire body to ashes!” She said.

If she really wanted to kill it, would it still have a body to sink into the water? Even if it’s a Phoenix who is known for their immunity to fire, she can still burn it to ashes! For her to only slap him with a little Spirit Pressure is already an extremely light punishment!

“I know that it’s still alive, but that’s not the problem here! Master just yelled at me! Are you trying to give me a bad reputation as her Disciple?!” Of course, he knew that it was still alive, but that’s not the main problem here! He just got yelled at again by his Master! Ever since he has become her Disciple, there has yet to be a day where she did not yell at him! What kind of Disciple was he to be yelled at by his Master every day?!?

“Wait! Tian Yi did you just say that it is still alive?!” Xuan Wanshan heard the conversation between these two troublemakers.

“Yes Master, it is only unconscious. Ah, but he might die if we leave him in the water any longer.” A Phoenix without their flame is a dead Phoenix! The reason Phoenixes can live forever, and rebirth after death is because of their eternal flames! Even if their flame is only as small as a candle fire, it can still be revived! But if it is surrounded by water too long, the flames will eventually extinguish, not to mention that it is in the ocean!

“Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and save it!” She was bewildered. If he knew that, then why is he still standing there with a calm face?!?

“I know Master. I will never let someone die because of my mistake, not to mention that it did not really do anything wrong.” Because as his Spirit Beast, if Yan Yan makes a mistake, then he is also at fault for letting her make that mistake in the first place. With his character, how can he possibly let someone die because of his mistake? If he accidentally kills someone innocent, he will revive him even if it will cost him a Heavenly Treasure!

After saying that, he points a finger towards the ocean and swipes it upwards.

*RUMBLE*

The place where his finger was pointed at instantly explodes, giving birth to a gigantic mountain made of water!

The water Mountain slowly breaks apart from the top, revealing a humongous figure.

However, this figure was— stark naked!

“Aaahh!!! My eyes!” Meng Xiang cries after seeing this figure and covers her eyes with her tiny hands.

“……” Xuan Wanshan’s stomach feels weird after seeing it and covers her mouth.

“……” Tian Yi looks at this naked chicken hovering in the air. It looks like a chicken without feather but covered in ugly wrinkles and goosebumps… It was a downright disgusting sight!

Yan Yan stares at this naked chicken in front of her and trembles, “Y-YOU! H-HOW DARE YOU TARNISH MY PURE EYES WITH SUCH A DISGUSTING SIGHT! DIE!!!”

*RUMBLE* *PAP* *BANG*

The Naked Phoenix gets slapped into the ocean once again, creating another tsunami!

To show a pure female like her such a foul sight, she was instantly angered again!

Xuan Wanshan screams with a pale face, “Aaaaaahhh!!!! What are you doing!!!” It was just saved, yet it got slapped into the ocean again! If he does not die this time, he’ll no longer be a chicken, but a cockroach!

“Yan Yan! You are definitely doing this on purpose! I just saved it, but you just have to hit it again!” Tian Yi frowns. She is definitely trying to make him look bad in front of his Master!

“But Master, that shameless thing just tarnished my eyes with his disgusting body! Master, hurry up and change back into your real appearance, I need to heal my eyes!” Yan Yan cries, begging him to heal her tarnished eyes…

“What are you two talking about, hurry up and save it again!” Xuan Wanshan cannot believe that these two were still talking! They are definitely doing this on purpose!

“Ah right.” Tian Yi does the same actions as before, pulling back up the naked chicken from the water.

This time around, even blood can be seen on its body, making it an even more nasty sight.

“Aaahhh, how dare—” Yan Yan almost slapped him back down again, but because of her Master staring at her with serious eyes, she did not do it and closed her eyes instead…

“Gather!” Tian Yi waves his hand, gathering Pure Spirit Power around the Phoenix and begins healing it.

“….”

Within seconds, the red flames reappear on its body, making it look like a Phoenix again.

“Where am I? This feeling…. Am I in Heaven?” The Phoenix feeling refreshed thought it had died.

It opens its eyes expecting to see God, but when it did, it only sees hell in front of him. It was the beauty Phoenix who almost killed him!

With his frightened soul almost flying out of his body, he screams, “Aaaaaahhhh!!!” And tries to run away.

But because Tian Yi was holding onto him in the air with his Spirit Power, he flops around in the air looking like a strangled chicken ready to be slaughtered and cooked.

“Beautiful lady, please have mercy! I did not mean to offend you; please do not kill me!” He cries, begging for his life.

“……” Speechless, Xuan Wanshan looks at this pitiful Phoenix in front of her. Is this really the same Phoenix as the Guardian Spirit of the Phoenix’s Continent?

“Calm down; it was our fault just now. We won’t— I won’t hurt you.” He can not guarantee that Yan Yan will not hit him again!

“Master, we should just slay this old bird.” Yan Yan said with a dissatisfied voice.

“….” The Phoenix felt his heart skip three beats when she said that!

“Haaa… Yan Yan, what’s wrong with you today? You’re acting very different than usual…” Tian Yi sighs at her unusual behavior, feeling worried about her.

“….” She turns silent and sneaks a quick peek at Xuan Wanshan and Meng Xiang…

She was jealous of these two female Mortals! She has always been together with her Master alone for the past five years, with her being the only female other than his mother in his life. Yet out of nowhere, he gains two more, and humans at that! As a Magic Beast, she cannot do things that humans can!

“Ahhh, I want to hurry up and transcend to become a Demon!!!” She cries in her heart.

A Demon is when a Magic Beast gains the ability to transform into a real human with real human organs! Once a Magic Beast reaches a certain Cultivation, they will be able to transform into a human. But the stronger the Magic Beast’s bloodline is, the higher Cultivation they will need to become a Demon. Some Magic Beasts in the Mortal’s Realm can become a Demon with a Cultivation as low as Profound True Qi Realm. However, as for Yan Yan who belongs to the Celestial Phoenix God race, her bloodline is already at the highest quality, making it even harder to become a Demon!

“Once I become a Demon….. I will do whatever it takes to bear Master’s child!” Her heart burns with desire.

Many Demons out there actually mates with humans without the humans even knowing. Because they have the same organs as humans, they can also reproduce with humans! Why do Demons want to mate with humans rather than their fellow Demons?

Because humans have better genes than Demons! Just like Humans, Demons also want to give birth to geniuses. Because of that, they will rather mate with humans who are known for giving birth to many geniuses! Demons may be rare in the Mortal’s Realm, but in the higher Realms, they are everywhere to the point of seeing them in the streets daily! Because of their fetishes, many Cultivators even seek out Demons to mate with!

“Sorry Master, my unacceptable behavior has made you lose face. It will not happen again.” She apologizes with sincerity.

Tian Yi smiles gently at her, “Don’t worry about my face, I am just worried about you. As long as you’re happy, I do not care about my face.” He said while caressing her back gently.

“M-Master…” Both her body and heart trembles from ecstasy.

Thinking back to five years ago when they first met, her decision to accept him as her Master is now her lifelong bliss. She could not imagine what her life will be like now if she had declined his offer…

“As long as it’s Master, I will give him whatever he wants from me, be it my body or soul…” She has already decided in her heart long ago.

“Little Phoenix, what can we do for you today? Once again, I’ll apologize for my Spirit Beast’s behavior.” Tian Yi speaks to the frightened Phoenix.

“My mother, she was his Spirit Beast! What kind of monster did I come across?!?” He cries in his heart.

“I-I, Young Master, I’ve noticed your group coming towards my Phoenix’s Continent, and I wanted to see if there was anything my Phoenix’s Continent can do for you…” He calls him Young Master! If he did not, that scary Queen would definitely swallow him alive!

“We are only going there to finish one of my Sect Mission by helping out with the Feng Clan’s banquet.” Tian Yi tells him their purpose for going to his Phoenix’s Continent.

“Feng Clan? Ah, they’re my descendants. When I was in my Demon form, I made my own family there, making me their Ancestor. If you like, I can—Hiii” He can feel the sharp stares from the scary Queen! Why is she staring at him like she wanted to rip him to pieces?!?

“What?! This low ranked Phoenix can already turn into a Demon but I can’t?!?! I am jealous!!! I also want to mate with Master!!!” She stares at him with daggers made of envy!

“So you’re their Ancestor… It looks like I’ve made trouble for your family before even getting there… haha…” Tian Yi felt embarrassed. His Spirit Beast had just beaten up the Ancestor of the Feng Clan that they were trying to help!

“Oh no Young Master, please do not mind that little incident, I was in the wrong for not showing respect. I deserved that small beating…” He talks like it was nothing, yet his heart cries in pain from the injustice he had just faced.

“If Young Master do not mind, do you want to become an honored guest for my family’s upcoming banquet? You can forget about helping us; we will still give you credit even if you did not do anything…” He is trying to satisfy the Queen by satisfying the King!

“No, that is not good. I cannot take credit for something I did not do. We’ll help your family out with the banquet just like we’ve planned to from the start.” Tian Yi declines his generous offer.

“I-Is that so… Then I’ll have to ask Young Master to help out shamelessly…” The Phoenix bows to him, “Then I will also guide you to my Phoenix’s Continent.”

“Sorry to bother you.” He said.

“Please don’t, I am doing this on my free will.” If he just went back by himself, that Queen will definitely shoot him down from behind! To stay safe from the Queen, he will remain near the King!

“Then please follow me, I will personally guide you to my Feng Clan.”

“….” Xuan Wanshan can not believe what was happening.

Not only are they going to the Phoenix’s Continent on a Phoenix, but there’s also even another Phoenix guiding them in the front!

“T-This is so…. Exciting!” She cries in her heart.

Her disciple sure does not disappoint her! Their adventure has only just started, yet she has already experienced something this crazy! She cannot imagine what will happen in the future if she keeps on following him. What kind of adventures will they go on? What other kinds of Mythical Creatures will she meet? What else does her new Disciple have hidden inside his Storage Pouch? How will he shock her next?

A lovely smile slowly spreads across her beautiful face as they continue their journey to the Phoenix’s Continent.
