Chapter 216: Your Name is Xiao Feng. I Refuse!

"What's going on?"

"Can someone please tell me I just saw that wrong?"

"Temple Master Ning flew down from the second floor, and then flew up to the roof of the Three Purities Hall?"

"Immortal confirmed!"

"Holy shit, is this a wuxia movie?"

The netizens howled in uproar, completely unable to believe what was happening right before their eyes.

"New fans are still in shock, while the veterans have already sat back down."

The red phoenix canary landed on the roof of the Three Purities Hall to rest. It simply couldn't fly another inch.

It had never expected a human to be so formidable.

At that moment, Ning Fei lunged at it again.

Startled, the red phoenix canary panicked and spread its wings to flee.

But Ning Fei was faster. He took two quick strides across the roof and snatched it right out of the air.

"Don't fucking touch me!" the canary chirped and chattered.

Of course, all the viewers saw was a little red bird chirping crisply.

The drone moved fast, having already ascended to broadcast the sight of Ning Fei holding the canary.

"What a cute little bird!" the netizens marveled.

"Its chirp is so pretty!"

"Just listening to its song makes me feel kinda happy."

"Any experts here want to explain what kind of bird that is?"

"It's a canary, a bird that can be kept as a pet. Like larks, they are songbirds, and their calls are incredibly crisp and pleasant."

"Exactly. And Temple Master Ning's is a red canary. Red canaries have dazzling feathers and are commonly known as red golden-wings. They're extremely rare."

"I suggest thinking carefully before getting one. Sometimes a bird's constant singing can be a real hassle and easily disturb the neighbors. It's fine if you live somewhere secluded, though."

"This scene is so wholesome!"

"But... why was Temple Master Ning chasing it?"

Watching the stream, the viewers found the scene quite beautiful. Ning Fei sat on the roof, holding the red phoenix canary and just looking at it.

He stroked the red bird, gently rubbing its feathers.

Right then, the system's prompt chimed on cue.

"Ding! Quest completed!"

"Quest reward: Red Phoenix Pill x10."

The rewards were stored in the system, so Ning Fei pretended to fish a red phoenix pill out of his pocket.

At the sight of the red phoenix pill, the red phoenix canary instantly grew excited.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

"Hurry up and give it to me! Give it the fuck to me! Give it!"

Ning Fei could understand exactly what the canary was saying.

The canary didn't look like much, but it had a filthy mouth and a seriously stubborn streak.

'This thing has Phoenix blood in it?' Ning Fei thought to himself.

Hearing the canary's chirps, however, the netizens praised:

"Listen everyone, the canary is singing!"

"Yeah, it sounds so pretty!"

"This bird is so elegant, and its voice is just as beautiful."

Ning Fei wasn't looking at the chat right now, but if he had seen those comments, he truly wouldn't have known what to think.

Ning Fei looked at the canary with a faint, knowing smile.

He realized that while the canary was sentient, it wasn't particularly smart.

"From today on, your name is Xiao Feng."

"Like hell I am."

"I have a lot of these red phoenix pills."

"My name is Xiao Feng."

Ning Fei noticed the red phoenix canary had an inexplicable fanaticism for the red phoenix pills. This would be a great way to manage it.

The netizens, meanwhile, found the scene incredibly picturesque.

"Temple Master Ning is naming animals again."

"The newest member of Qingfeng Temple: the red canary, Xiao Feng!"

"Look at how happily Xiao Feng is chirping."

In his mind, Ning Fei quietly asked the system:

"System, how do I raise the red phoenix canary? What if it runs away?"

Ning Fei was genuinely concerned.

It was a bird, after all. The sky was vast, and if it really wanted to fly off, who could stop it?

"The red phoenix canary is extremely gluttonous for the Red Phoenix Pill. The Red Phoenix Pill is its primary energy source. One pill per day." the system replied.

Hearing this, Ning Fei smiled. If that was the case, things would be much easier to handle.

Ning Fei offered the red phoenix pill to Xiao Feng and opened his hand. Xiao Feng immediately gobbled the pill down.

Ning Fei sat on the highest eave, with Xiao Feng perched beside him. Man and bird stared at one another.

"Got any more?" Xiao Feng chirped.

"Tomorrow," Ning Fei replied calmly.

"Fuck it, I've decided. I'll tag along with you for now!"

"Suit yourself."

As they conversed, the netizens praised them again: "Look, the canary is singing for Temple Master Ning!"

The netizens' imaginations were truly formidable.

With that, Ning Fei jumped down from the roof.

Today's events had been thoroughly thrilling.

But it was a good thing the canary had successfully hatched. And even though Xiao Feng was a bit mischievous, it was undeniably cute.

Ning Fei smiled subtly.

Xiao Feng flapped its wings and flew down as well; it still couldn't fly very high.

It curiously began to survey the layout of Qingfeng Temple.

Catching sight of Little Dog chewing on a tennis ball, it chirped, "Stupid dog."

Seeing Little Fei playing on the slide over there, it chirped again, "Boring."

Just then, Xiao Feng felt a shift in the atmosphere. It turned around to find Little falcon silently staring at it.

Those exceptionally sharp eyes sent a chill down its spine.

In a panic, Xiao Feng immediately fluttered a few steps backward. Only when it saw that Little falcon wasn't moving from its nest did it relax.

"Scared the shit out of me!"

Realizing Little falcon was still watching it, Xiao Feng quickly flapped its wings, pointing at Ning Fei and then at itself, signaling that Ning Fei was its master and they were all on the same side.

Seeing its gestures, Little falcon finally turned its head away, squinting its eyes to rest.

That big bird had truly given Xiao Feng a fright.

Afterward, Xiao Feng flew around a bit more and spotted Little Fox lying in her bed.

The bed was filled with plush toys, making the fox somewhat inconspicuous among them.

But Xiao Feng still spotted her at a glance.

Xiao Feng's expression was even more surprised than when it saw Little falcon.

"A spirit fox?"

Xiao Feng chirped.

Little Fox merely raised her eyes to glance at it, not bothering to pay much attention to the Daoist temple's newest member.

Xiao Feng looked around and saw Ning Fei lying in a rocking chair. The chair exuded a refreshing fragrance—the unique scent of Qin Xiang wood.

Then, Xiao Feng noticed the Phoenix jade pendant at Ning Fei's waist.

Xiao Feng had Phoenix blood flowing through its body, though it was merely a trace of the bloodline.

In that moment, it felt a hazy recollection of its past life. It seemed it used to be a little bird living beside a wutong tree, holding a status somewhat like a Phoenix's attendant.

Now, seeing the Phoenix jade pendant, its entire body trembled slightly.

Finally, it looked back at Ning Fei, whose face was completely relaxed and comfortable.

"Son of a bitch."

"Who the hell is this guy?"

Ning Fei, completely unhurried, spoke to the viewers in the stream:

"Good evening, everyone. Qingfeng Temple has welcomed a new companion."

"A red canary named Xiao Feng."

"Canaries are very adorable small birds. They are songbirds, and their calls are crisp and clear. A lot of the music online that features the sounds of singing birds and fragrant flowers actually uses canary calls for the audio."

"This bird loves to sing, so please bear with it."

Hearing Ning Fei's words, Xiao Feng immediately started chirping and chattering:

"You're the one who likes to sing! I never fucking sing!"

But what the viewers saw was the canary bursting into song right after Ning Fei finished speaking.

Their faces full of envy, they commented:

"This bird is so obedient. Temple Master Ning told it to sing, and it sang right away."

"What a good bird!"
