Chapter 195 Phoenix Cub
As they are in each other's diet, Liu Yishu has a certain understanding of the habits of the Feather Clan.
It is said that after a newborn feathered creature hatches, it will feel close to the first person it sees. Liu Yishu originally just wanted to give it a try, after all, the other party was the king of birds, the phoenix. Unexpectedly, he got a big surprise.
Humans have a proverb that goes, "A phoenix without its feathers is no better than a chicken." This shows that a phoenix without its feathers cannot be that pretty.
But Liu Yishu didn't expect that the phoenix cub was so similar to the chicken cub!
If the fire in the Wutong forest had not been extinguished, it would be impossible for a chick to survive the fire. Liu Yishu couldn't help but suspect that the little chick in front of him was just an ordinary chick.
The little cub has no crest feathers, its head is bald, its tail is also bald, and its body is covered with only a layer of fine yellow fluff. It has a pointed beak and small eyes the size of beans. At first glance, it looks no different from a chick.
But if you look closely, you can sense that the cub is shrouded in a mysterious and subtle aura, and that aura has traces of the Great Dao.
As the longest-lived and oldest great demon, the Phoenix has mastered some great rules of the Dao, so it is not surprising that it has the rhyme of the Dao.
Liu Yishu looked at the little cub silently in the fire for a moment, and then he gave the cub a kind smile.
Yes, a kind smile.
Liu Yishu deliberately sent Xu Weichen away and practiced in front of the water mirror for half an hour. He guaranteed that the result would be a hundred times more kind than when their ancestors looked at them when they were young!
It's all in this smile.
Seeing his smile, the originally ignorant little cub's black and white eyes slowly showed admiration and closeness.
The little cub, who had just learned to walk, stumbled towards him and called him "Mom" in a baby voice.
While Liu Yishu was still stunned by the name, the little cub squatted down next to the hem of Liu Yishu's clothes and rubbed his clothes affectionately with his little head.
Liu Yishu originally had no feelings towards cubs. Even if the fox cubs acted coquettishly towards him, he could not be moved at all.
Although this phoenix cub is ugly, it is well-behaved. Compared with the rebellious little chick in the past, there is a huge difference between them and it is very pitiful.
Of course, the most important thing is the identity of this little cub, it is a phoenix!
Liu Yishu immediately squatted down, opened his hands in front of the cub, and waited patiently for the cub to crawl into his hands on its own initiative.
After the cub stood firmly, he carefully lifted the cub up, then reached out his hand and gently stroked the cub's fur, causing the cub to make a series of "chirp" and "squeak" sounds, with an expression of ecstasy and satisfaction on his face.
Liu Yishu also felt particularly satisfied.
Although it was a bit embarrassing for a male fox like him to be called "mother", it was a different matter if the one calling him that was the Phoenix.
He brought the cub out of the fire, comforted it with great patience, and generously shared the spiritual food that Xu Weichen had bought for him in the storage space with the little cub.
Xu Weichen and Ye Yunhan were surprised to see Liu Yishu bring back the phoenix so quickly, but they were even more surprised at how close the phoenix cub was to Liu Yishu.
Unfortunately, they could not understand the chirping of the little phoenix, so they did not know that the little phoenix was close to Liu Yishu because it mistook him for its mother. The unscrupulous and shameless Nine-Tailed Fox did not deny it at all and accepted it calmly.
In addition to showing extraordinary enthusiasm towards Liu Yishu, the little cub also seemed to be particularly fond of Ye Yunhan. When Ye Yunhan came closer to observe it, it kept chirping and seemed to want to get close to him.
Ye Yunhan could feel the little phoenix's closeness, but he couldn't understand what the little phoenix was saying, so he asked the only person present who might understand.
"Uncle Ye, the little cub is calling you brother!" Liu Yishu said with a smile.
"Why does it call me brother?" Ye Yunhan was even more confused.
Liu Yishu pretended to be puzzled and thought for a long time before hesitantly explaining, "It's probably because when it was still an egg, Brother fed it with Nanming Lihuo every day, so it was very familiar with Brother's breath. And the reason why it hatched was also because of Brother's Nirvana Fire, so it subconsciously regarded Brother as its brother, right? Uncle Ye and Brother are Taoist partners, and they have a soul contract. Maybe in the eyes of the little phoenix, Uncle Ye and Brother are one, so Uncle Ye is also a brother."
Ye Yunhan did not doubt this explanation, but Xu Weichen could not help but curl his lips.
Before, Xiaoshu excitedly rushed into the sea of fire and said he wanted to bring the phoenix out. He thought Xiaoshu's behavior was very suspicious.
As subordinates of the phoenix, the Luan birds are definitely much more familiar with the phoenix than Xiaoshu. It doesn't make sense that Xiaoshu has found the phoenix before them!
What's even more suspicious is that Xiaoshu not only found the phoenix, but also made the phoenix so close to him. This reminded Xu Weichen of some special habits of the Feather Clan that he had read in books, such as regarding the first person they see when they open their eyes as their parents.
Although he didn't understand what Xiao Fenghuang said, seeing Xiao Fenghuang's dependence and attachment to Liu Yishu, he felt that his guess was almost right.
However, he did not expose Liu Yishu's trick, but asked curiously: "Will Fenghuang always regard Chaoyang as its brother?"
Liu Yishu smiled slyly, "Master, if you think like this, even for just a moment, Fenghuang will regard you as his elder brother. When he thinks back on it in the future, he will beat his chest and stamp his feet!"
As he said this, he had already skillfully taken out the photo-taking bead.
Xu Weichen: ...
Ye Yunhan: ...
Seeing Liu Yishu using the Image-Retaining Bead, although Ye Yunhan did not stop him, he could not help but glared at Liu Yishu.
He now has some doubts whether Liu Yishu had instigated Chaoyang to use the photo beads to record everything before!
Liu Yishu didn't care what Ye Yunhan was thinking. He contentedly recorded the silly and cute look of Fenghuang at that moment.
Of course he knew that the Phoenix could not always regard Chaoyang as its brother, let alone always regard himself as its mother. It had just hatched, its soul was unstable, and it had not yet begun to accept memory inheritance, so it followed the instincts of the Feather Clan cubs and had such a wrong cognition.
Although the Phoenix's misunderstanding is temporary, it doesn't matter. The image bead will help it remember forever how well-behaved and cute it is now calling "mother". And with the Phoenix's dark history in hand, can't it control it at will in the future?
So, Liu Yishu looked at the innocent little cub in his palm with even more eager eyes.
He teased the little phoenix by calling it "mother" many times, and coaxed it into doing many silly and cute actions. It was not until the fire in the Wutong Forest was about to go out that he contentedly put away the photo-taking beads and waited for the arrival of his phoenix followers.
