Number One Under Heaven

“Hey you, hurry up with the tables!” The head servant orders the servants of the Feng Clan around.

“You, what is up with that chair?! Can you not see that it is broken?!”

“Hey, the idiot over there, what the hell are you even doing?!”

After shouting everywhere for the whole day, the head servant almost coughed up blood from shouting too much!

“YOU! What are you—” He tried to speak but was interrupted by a loud call.

“Greetings, Ancestor Feng!”

“What?! Ancestor Feng?!?!?” The head servant cries in his heart. What is the Ancestor doing out here?!

He immediately runs over to the sound, and the moment he arrives, he sees a bald old man walk in with three other people! It was an ordinary-looking young man, a little girl, and a beautiful matured young lady!

This bald old man was wearing fancy red clothes, engraved with a Phoenix on the back.

“Greetings Ancestor Feng!” He runs in front of him and kowtows, and every other servant there follows him by kowtowing.

“Do not mind my presence here, go back to work.” Ancestor Feng tells them to go away.

Before arriving at the Phoenix’s Continent, he changed into his Demon form, the current Ancestor of the Feng clan. He always loved to be in his Demon form, walking around without his gigantic body, but not today. Why? Because the moment he transformed into his Demon form, he felt daggers piercing his back, and when he looks back, he saw the Queen staring at him like she wanted to rip his tendons out one by one…

He wanted to instantly transform back into his real form, but how will he be able to lead this Young Master around the city in his Phoenix form?

Even now, the Queen is still staring at him with daggers. She even shrank her size into the scale of a regular bird so she can sit on her Master’s shoulders, following him into the City.

“She can’t transform into a Demon yet?” He wondered why. He could transform into a Demon the moment he reached the Heaven Realm, but what about her? She is definitely many Realms above him, yet she can’t transform into a Demon? What kind of bloodline does she have?

“Ancestor, the Clan Head was looking for you, but could not find you anywhere.” The Head Servant said.

“Good, I also want to talk to him. Where is he right now?” He also had some important matters to talk about.

“Clan Head said that he would be waiting in the Main Room.” The head servant said, still kowtowing.

He looks at him and nods, “Un. Go back to your business. This banquet has to be perfect. Ah, make sure to put four extra chairs at my table.”

“Yes, Ancestor.” The head servant does not know why the Ancestor wants to put four more chairs at the main table, only reserved for three people, the Ancestor, the Clan Head and Feng Yan.

Seeing the servants all went back to work, he looks back to the group of monsters behind him, “Young Master Tian, I will take some of your precious time to introduce you to my Feng Clan’s current Clan Head, that is if you don’t mind.” He asks with respect.

“Of course.” Tian Yi nods.

“Thank you, Young Master, for wasting his precious time on my little request.” He smiles.

“…..” Yan Yan silently glares at this old chicken, watching his every move.

Feeling the invisible glares, he shivers and starts walking towards the entrance of the mansion.

* * * * *

“Father, how is the banquet coming along?” A very beautiful female asks.

“Yan’er, the banquet is going fine, but I still cannot find the Ancestor…” This beautiful female’s father was Feng Huan, the current Clan Head of the Feng Clan.

Right in front of him is his treasured daughter, the pride of the Feng Clan, Feng Yan. He looks at this beautiful daughter of his, remembering his wife who had disappeared many years ago. Her long hair was flaming red, just like a Red Phoenix. She has an oval face and an alluring figure, covered with pale skin.

“Haaa, she really looks just like her…” He sighs in his heart. His wife had disappeared for many years, with no clue to where she went for many years. He searched every house and corner in the Phoenix’s Continent, yet he could not find a single clue.

“The Ancestor is always Cultivating in his garden, and he will always notify someone before leaving, but this time, he left without saying a word, just like your mother…” He was worried that the Ancestor might have also disappeared just like his wife.

“Father, do not worry too much. The Ancestor probably just went for a walk.” Feng Yan tries to reassure her father.

“Walk? Who walks for two days straight? Not to mention that he disappeared right after the Guardian Spirit of our Phoenix’s Continent appeared. I will be damned if that had nothing to do with his disappearance—” Before he can even sigh, he hears someone shout.

“Greetings, Ancestor Feng! Ancestor Feng has arrived!” Someone shouts out with a loud voice.

“He’s back?!” He stands up instantly and starts walking towards the door.

*Bang*

The door opens before he can even get close, and he watches as four people walk in, with the one in the lead being an old bald man.

“Ancestor! Where have you been, you worried me to death.” He runs in front of Ancestor Feng.

“Huan’er, forget about me, hurry up and introduce yourself to Young Master Tian here.” Ancestor Feng ignores his worries and tells him to introduce himself.

“What?” He asks out loud with a puzzled face.

“Did he just…” He swears that he had just heard the Ancestor call someone Young Master! Who could have enough background to have the Ancestor of the Feng Clan to address him by ‘Young Master’?

He looks behind the Ancestor to see an ordinary young man with a very beautiful blue bird on his shoulder, then to the right of him is a cute little girl holding onto his hands, and finally to his left is a very beautiful young lady with a matured figure.

This young lady was very attractive, to the point of considering her even more beautiful than his treasured daughter justifiable…

“But why does she look so familiar…” He remembers seeing this pretty face somewhere, but cannot pinpoint it in his memories… Until he remembers what the young man was wearing.

“Ah! She is the Profound Dragon Spirit Sect’s most talented female, Xuan Wanshan!” He finally remembers her. She is the last generation’s number one beauty and talent, the fairy who achieved the Cultivation of Spirit King at age 27! But what is she doing here in his Phoenix’s Continent, and not to mention with their Feng Clan’s Ancestor?

“Hello, I am Feng Huan, the current Clan Head of the Feng Cla—”

“INSOLENCE!” He was interrupted by the Ancestor’s angry yell.

“?!?!?!” His mouth stays open half-way from shock, unable to understand what had just happened. Did the Ancestor just yell at him? Why?

“Ancestor you—”

“YOU DISRESPECTFUL IDIOT!”

*RUMBLE*

After being yelled again the by Ancestor, he felt a sudden Pressure on his back, almost as if he was carrying a real mountain.

*Dong*

He was pressured into a kneeling position, with both of his knees touching the ground!

“Father?!?!?!” This sudden scene horrified the Feng Yan who was watching from the back.

Why did her father suddenly get yelled at by the Ancestor, even making him kneel?! She has never seen her father in the kneeling position before!

“What is going on?!??!” Feng Huan cries in his heart at this sudden development.

All he had tried to do was introduce himself just like the Ancestor had told him to, but now he’s in the kneeling position?! The last time he was in this position was when he asked his currently missing wife for her hand in marriage!

“Is this how you treat Young Master Tian, you idiot?! How dare you speak in front of him without kowtowing!” Ancestor Feng repeats what Yan Yan had told him before he got swatted like an insect!

“?!?!?!?” After Feng Huan had racked his brains trying to remember Xuan Wanshan, he forgot that the Ancestor had just addressed him as ‘Young Master,’ and acted lofty in front of Tian Yi, almost frightening Ancestor Feng’s Soul out!

“Forgive me, but I am only saving your sorry life!” Ancestor Feng apologizes in his heart. He was only trying to save his descents life. One slap from the Queen’s Spirit Pressure was already enough to turn him, a Phoenix, into a half dead bird. What will happen if his descend, a Human, offends her?! He will definitely turn into meat paste!

“Aiya, Ancestor Feng what are you doing? Is this not too excessive? He is only trying to introduce himself.” Tian Yi stopped Ancestor Feng’s Spirit Pressure and went to lift the half-kowtowing Feng Huan back up to his feet.

“You stupid bird, my Master just did some unnecessary actions because of you!” Yan Yan yells at Ancestor Feng with her Divine Sense, making him tremble from fear.

“What?! How come I got beaten up for not kowtowing, but not only is he perfectly fine, I am being yelled at?!” Ancestor Feng was bewildered at the different treatment, “What kind of injustice is this?” He cries in his heart.

After being lifted back up to his feet, Feng Huan was still in shock, “What on earth is going on?!”

He looks at the ordinary young man in front of him as if he was a monster. What kind of background did he have to make the Ancestor force him to kowtow? Just one sentence from this young man was already enough to shut the Ancestor’s mouth!

He instantly fixes his clothes, and bows, “Young Master, that was very disrespectful of me. I am Feng Huan, the current Clan Head of this little Feng Clan of mine.”

Even after he finishes speaking, he did not lift his head up, afraid the Ancestor might yell at him again.

“Un, you can rise. I am called Tian Yi, Outer Court Disciple of the Profound Dragon Spirit Sect.” Tian Yi introduces himself.

“O-Outer Court Disciple?!?!?!?” He almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

This young man was only an Outer Court Disciple of the Profound Dragon Spirit Sect?! Then what about the Ancestor’s actions just now?! There’s no way the Ancestor will care about some random Outer Court Disciple!

“S-so it is Young Master Tian. How can my little Feng Clan help Young Master today?” But he did not say a word and had to suck it up for now! He will ask the Ancestor in private later.

“I am only here to do the Mission requested by your Feng Clan, by helping you out with the banquet setup.” Tian Yi shows him the mission paper.

“That’s all he’s here to do?!” he cries in his heart. If he’s only here to help out, why the hell did the Ancestor bring him in here?!? This situation is getting more and more confusing!

“I-If Young Master Tian wants, I can stamp it now, proving that you’ve already completed—”

“You idiot! Are you implying that the Young Master is shameless enough to accept the credit for something he did not do?!?!” Ancestor Feng yells at him again.

“How did you come up with that conclusion?!?!?” He felt wronged. He was only trying to help out this Young Master Tian…

“Ancestor Feng is right. I will not accept the credit of something I did not do. If you do not need me anymore, I’ll be out there setting up the banquet.” Tian Yi said. He was only here to meet this Feng Huan because of Ancestor Feng’s request.

Pointing to the still shocked Feng Yan, Ancestor Feng said, “Young Master Tian, if you don’t mind, there’s also his daughter—-”

“YOU BALD BIRD! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT MY MASTER STILL NEEDS MORE HUMAN FEMALES BY HIS SIDE?” Yan Yan’s eyes spew flames from anger, almost attacking Ancestor Feng again. She is already worried about these two currently by his side, yet this bald old bird is trying to introduce a third one? He can transform into a Demon, making her jealous, now he’s trying to make her life even more difficult. Is he trying to anger her to death?

“!!!!!” Ancestor Feng’s speech froze half-way from the Queen’s glare. If her stares could kill, then he would’ve already died a few times at that moment.

With his whole back drenched in sweat, he said with a bitter smile, “Never mind what I was trying to say, sorry for wasting Young Master’s time. Please try not to overwork yourself from helping with the banquet; you can take a rest whenever you need to… Actually, please rest 1 minute every 2 minutes…”

“Hahaha, Ancestor Feng’s humor is pretty good. Rest a minute every two minutes…” Tian Yi laughs at his ‘joke.’

“….” He was speechless…

“Then I will no longer be bothering you.” Saying that Tian Yi leaves with his group, leaving three frozen statues behind…

* * * * *

“Yan Yan.” Tian Yi calls her with his Divine Sense.

“Yes Master, I noticed. Do you want me to kill it?” Yan Yan asks in a cold tone.

“No, leave it alone for now. Once we finish our business here, I’ll personally deal with it.” With a calm face, he continues walking out of the mansion to where the servants are currently working.
