The creature was covered in light yellow fur, with a bald head that seemed disproportionately large compared to its small body. It had two hairless, thin legs and a pointed, slightly curved light yellow beak, making it look incredibly ugly, resembling a newly hatched chick. Its two black, shiny eyes, like green beans, were fixed on Li Hong with an unmistakable sense of attachment. Li Hong was momentarily stunned; the look in those eyes made it seem as if the creature regarded him as its parent.
Li Hong shouted and grabbed the chick by its neck, flinging it away.
Black Abyss and Little Fei cried out in terror, "Don't!"
As soon as the words left their mouths, a flash of yellow light appeared, and the chick darted back like lightning, once again clinging tightly to Li Hong's chest. It looked up at him innocently and cooed as if saying, "Don't throw me... don't throw me..."
Looking into those innocent black eyes, Li Hong hesitated with his hand hovering over the chick's neck.
A flash of golden light appeared as Little Fei landed on Li Hong's shoulder and urgently transmitted a message: "It's just a little child who doesn't understand anything. Master, please don't throw it away again. You can tell it to consider me as its sister, and I will take care of it and teach it from now on."
Little Fei clearly had a fondness for the little phoenix. As she spoke, she reached out her claw to pat the chick's head. The chick's eyes flashed with fierce light, and suddenly a red beam shot past. Little Fei let out a startled cry and flew up.
A thin flame chased after Little Fei's rear end, causing her to yowl in distress as she dove into the Fusang Immortal Wood. Only then did the flame extinguish.
The thin flame had originated from the tip of the chick's beak. Seeing Little Fei escape into the Fusang Immortal Wood, the chick stopped breathing fire, turned its head, cooed twice, and looked up at Li Hong with a distinctly proud expression in its shiny green bean-like eyes.
Li Hong was taken aback; what a clever little creature! Looking at Little Fei's disheveled appearance made him laugh even more uncontrollably.
"Little Fei, all your efforts have been in vain! Haha, this little one doesn't appreciate your kindness at all."
"Hmph! Master is enjoying this while I worked hard for nothing. If I hadn't known you had Emperor Yan's Celestial Body Fire Flame, Dragon Blood, and Phoenix Blood within you, I wouldn't have let you give it even a drop of your essence blood! Now it's recognized your scent after receiving your essence blood at a critical moment and thinks of you as its parent while treating me—its benefactor—as an enemy. No way! Master, you must explain things to it and make it see me as its sister!"
Li Hong chuckled: "So you like collecting little siblings! Isn't having the Soul Devourer enough? Now you want to take this one too?"
"What's wrong with liking to collect little siblings? After all, Master has no time to take care of the little phoenix. Will you tell it or not? If you really won't tell it, then the little phoenix will cling to you day and night without leaving your side; even during cultivation, you won't find peace! Hmph! I've warned you; if you want to be bothered by it, I'll leave right now!"
Li Hong was taken aback and quickly said to Little Phoenix, "Little one, from now on, you will follow Little Fei. You will have a good life, and she will take care of you. Just listen to her; you can't go wrong with that. This is what I say, so you must obey!"
After saying this, he grabbed Chick and threw it towards Little Fei. However, in the blink of an eye, Chick returned like lightning, still nestled against his chest, its two small black eyes looking at Li Hong with a sense of grievance, softly cooing as if it didn't want to leave.
Li Hong was dumbfounded. "What does this mean?"
Little Fei slowly flew over, clearly wary and afraid of Little Phoenix's innate fire skills. She said, "Its feathers are not dry yet. Once they dry, it will unleash the true Phoenix True Fire, which means it has entered its juvenile stage. Right now, it can only be considered a baby. So, Master, you need to dry its feathers and give it a name while introducing me to it. Only after doing all this can you leave."
Oh my God! He actually had to dry its feathers! Li Hong pressed his hand to his forehead, speechless for a long time. Finally, he stammered while staring at Chick on his chest with an extremely strange expression, "Little Bald... um, let's just call you Little Earth. Little Earth, this is your sister Little Fei. She actually saved you this time; from now on, you will follow Little Fei. She will teach you many things." After saying this, Li Hong immediately placed his hand on Little Phoenix's body, and a ball of scorching flame appeared in his palm, enveloping Little Phoenix.
Little Fei was instantly delighted: "Celestial Body Flame! It's a great supplement for Little Phoenix."
Little Phoenix felt so comfortable that it closed its eyes and made soft sounds in its throat as if enjoying the True Fire massage Li Hong was giving it. Gradually, the light yellow feathers began to dry. With each feather that dried, it stood upright like steel wire, indicating that Little Phoenix's feathers were incredibly tough.
Finally, when all of Little Phoenix's feathers were dry, a thin layer of faint flames rose around its body. Just as Li Hong was about to retract the Celestial Body Flame from his palm, Little Phoenix suddenly opened its mouth and swiftly swallowed the Celestial Body Flame.
To his surprise, it even let out a satisfied burp and expelled a small pearl-sized True Fire fireball. It seemed as if what it had swallowed was not the most intense and high-temperature Celestial Body Flame but merely an ordinary food item.
However, it looked even more ridiculous now—like a round pink fluffball with a bald head that was not much smaller than its body perched atop it and two long bare legs below. If it had looked like a vulture before, now it resembled a heron—a particularly ugly bald-headed red heron.
No matter how hard Li Hong tried, he couldn't associate this little creature with the beautiful and majestic phoenix from Nine Li Cave Heaven. "Go on, Little Earth! Go play with Little Fei!" he sent it off.
Li Hong hurriedly left while keeping an eye on them with his Divine Consciousness. He saw Little Fei carefully leading Chick back to where the eggshell had been. Chick cooed twice and immediately began pecking at the eggshell. Before long, the large eggshell was completely eaten up; Chick's belly amusingly bulged as if hiding a soccer ball inside. Then Little Fei signaled for Chick to lie down and rest. Chick obediently complied and comfortably nestled into the nest with its eyes closed. Little Fei stood guard high above in Fusang Immortal Wood while continuously watching over Chick with focused eyes. Not far away, Black Abyss, Big Silver Ball, Small Silver Ball, and Soul Devourer all intently observed this scene without coming over to disturb them.
Li Hong couldn't help but laugh; Little Fei truly had the demeanor of a wet nurse! He decided to hand over all the beast eggs that were subdued by the Ancient God Formation in the Treasury to Little Fei so she could have some fun with them—on the condition that no more precious herbs from the Treasury would be wasted.
Summoning the Spirit of the Hall, the instructions were given.
The Spirit of the Hall immediately complied, but the last sentence left Li Hong stunned: "Star Sovereign, do you intend to cultivate a Divine Beast Army?"
Divine Beast Army... A flash of insight struck Li Hong's mind, and in the next moment, he appeared on the first level of the Underground Palace, carefully inspecting the various divine beast eggs that radiated different lights.
An hour later, Li Hong had formulated a preliminary plan.

Jin Kingdom, Central Capital, Yanjing.
The howling yellow wind swept through the desolate capital city. At the edge of the imperial city stood a large area of unfinished palaces. For some unknown reason, these palaces had been abandoned halfway through construction, left unattended amidst the raging winds. The tiles that had not yet been properly secured were blown about by the strong wind, falling to the ground with loud thuds that sounded like firecrackers exploding.
In the central courtyard of the imperial city, numerous palaces were heavily guarded by Imperial Guards. In broad daylight, the gates of these palaces were strangely locked, clearly prohibiting palace maids and concubines from moving about. Behind the Crimson Curtain, countless slender figures of women moved about, faint cries and shouts of excitement could be heard.
One particular palace was exceptionally quiet.
In a second-floor chamber, the curtains hung low. In the center of the chamber was a massive and luxurious inlaid rosewood bed surrounded by purple gauze curtains, making the figure sitting cross-legged inside appear hazy as if seated on Cloud's Edge.
A slender figure tiptoed up the stairs and entered the chamber. Glancing at the large bed, she knelt respectfully on the ground and softly said, "Consort Rou, I have brought lunch. Where should I place it?"
The person inside remained motionless for a while before a gentle voice emerged: "No need."
The maid showed a worried expression. After thinking for a moment, she slowly said, "Your Highness, I just received some news from the Imperial Guards. It is said that His Majesty has just won a great victory and is now in Huainan. Please rest assured; His Majesty will surely achieve great success this time and quell the Southern Barbarians." Seeing that there was no response from within, the maid gathered her courage to continue: "Your Highness, you should at least eat something; you haven't eaten for three days. I have prepared some millet porridge; it will surely warm your stomach."
"Get out!" The person inside the Tent suddenly raised their voice. "Scram! From now on, I won't let you in! Otherwise, don't blame me for calling the Imperial Guards to drag you out and beat you!"
The palace maid was so frightened that Flower Beauty turned pale, cold sweat dripping down as she backed out, tightly closing the door behind her.
The Tent slowly opened, revealing an enchanting Beauty with a face that could both scold and smile. She got off the bed and walked slowly, smiling lightly, "So soon we've reached Huainan. He really has some skills; it wasn't in vain that I spent so much time on him. It's just a pity that the Soul Medicine wasn't refined perfectly; he's somewhat lost his true nature... What if he still can't handle things well next? Should I set up my third move?"
Beauty furrowed her brows, lost in thought.
With a fox-like pointed chin, long and charming eyes, and a touch of blood-red alluring lips, this stunning face looked surprisingly like Li Xiaolou in the dim light of the Vermilion Pavilion.
At the same time, Jin Dynasty Emperor Wanyan Liang personally led the troops into battle. The four armies pressed forward simultaneously, advancing southward like a hot knife through butter, while the Song Dynasty Army retreated step by step.
Facing the vast Homeland, Wanyan Liang was full of confidence and determination. He waved his riding whip and recited loudly:
"Ten thousand miles of carriages and books are all one; how can Jiangnan have separate borders?
With a million troops on West Lake, I will stand atop Wu Mountain's first peak."
Deep within the harem, Beauty seemed to witness this scene with her own eyes, her lips curling into an enchanting smile. In the next moment, Beauty suddenly darted out of the window like a swallow, disappearing into the vast yellow wind.
