Recruiting Her
Yu Yao snapped, “I’m not jealous of you; I’ve never even met you before. Star Token has gone missing for ages, you thief!”
The white tiger thought something was unusual the moment Yang Tian allowed him to see the contents. Yang Tian, however, maintained a straight face. “Junior Sister, I will report you to Shifu for slander.”
“Don’t you dare call me Junior Sister!”
“Junior Sister, I can utilise Star River Scroll. Can you? I have Star Token. Do you? Does your insolence know no bounds?”
“Utilise Star River Scroll? Yeah right.”
White tiger: “Yu Yao. He’s not lying.”
Yu Yao: “Show me.”
At that point, Yang Tian knew he had convinced Yu Yao. Out came the moonlight, star river, quaking and diagram of stars. With a clench of his fist, the Big Dipper Formation quaked. The sight rendered Yu Yao speechless. The white tiger no longer suspected him. Yang Tian stopped his output and asked if she was convinced. He planned to recruit her to deal with the celestial peng she also treated hostilely.
Yu Yao asked, “Who is your shifu?”
Yang Tian smiled. “Mm, I can’t tell you. Shifu asked me to keep his identity secret.”
Yu Yao extended her hand to Yang Tian and smiled cunningly. “Fine. You have to hand over Star Scroll and Star Token, though.”
“Earth to Yu Yao; it’s not time to be dreaming. I’m not giving you my identification proof when Shifu asked me to return.”
“Fine. I want proof of your identity… You can hang onto Star Token for now. As for the scroll’s cultivation method, you have to teach it to me.”
“I don’t have a problem with that as long as you kill someone for me.”
“Who?”
Yang Tian glanced over to the white tiger and chuckled: “You’ll know soon.”
Gloomy white tiger didn’t know Yang Tian planned to target the celestial peng. “What about me, Brother Meng Tian?”
Yu Yao: “Piss off, dullard!”
The tiger had yet to finish viewing the contents of the scroll, and it was impossible to change Yu Yao’s mind. She quickly proved it when she brayed, “If you don’t get lost this second, I’ll turn you into a meal!”
“Hehe, I was just joking,” responded the white tiger, speeding off, since he knew she once roasted a vermillion bird.
Yang Tian was curious about Yu Yao’s identity.
Once the tiger was gone, Yu Yao threatened, “Thief, you still have your protective talisman?”
Yang Tian: “What? You don’t want the cultivation method no more?”
“Cut the rubbish and hand over the lotus you stole!”
“It’s gone. Want revenge?”
“Revenge? I don’t have enemies. They’ve all been bodied.”
“Want to see how a celestial peng tastes?” asked Chubby, smirking.
“Yes! Yes!” blurted Yu Yao, without a second thought.
Yang Tian: “Remember that damn black bird? Let’s join hands and roast him! Once done, the cultivation method is yours.”
“Really?” Yu Yao contained her excitement. “But can you even locate the celestial peng?”
Chubby smacked his thigh. “I can find his pompous bum right now!” Chubby took out his nine copper coins that levitated up on their own. Yu Yao blinked rapidly as she observed the coins. Glowing, Chubby levitated up and shouted, “Nine Stars Special Technique, Scout!”
Nine vertical energy pillars shot up, impressing Shangguan Hao.
“Pengji!” Chubby called out the celestial peng’s name, summoning two glowing primordial era characters that landed in the centre of the nine energy pillars.
Yu Yao twirled her hair. He knows how to read the primordial era’s text? Is he from Divinity Sect?
Chubby, sweating profusely, recited something, raising his body temperature. Yu Yao wondered if he was from Power Clan.
Three breaths later, Chubby jolted and clenched his teeth. “Sixty kilometres to the East!”
Yang Tian leapt up right away as he needed to slay the celestial peng before it could ascend. Chubby followed suit, looking eager to drink the celestial peng’s blood for replenishment.
Yu Yao dimpled. “Chubby, can I see the copper coins?”
“Sure,” sarcastically replied Chubby, glancing down to Yu Yao’s purple bag. “Hehe, can I see your Universe Bag?”
Yu Yao glared. “You wish!”
Chubby grinned/ “Exactly.”
Yu Yao really wanted to make Chubby regret giving her attitude, but she was distracted when she saw Yu’er. She sped over and scanned Yun’er.
Yun’er: “What are you doing?”
Yu Yao: “Something’s weird about you, Lass.”
Yun’er: “You’re the lass.”
“Lass, show me your true form. I can tell you used a transformation technique,” demanded Yu Yao, touching Yun’er.
“This is my true form.” Yuin’er reached for Yu Yao’s leg.
“I’m going to expose you, you vixen.”
Yu Yao felt as though Yun’er was close to her. The two playfully teased each other. Yang Tian was relieved.
Sensing the lack of vital essence, Chubby remarked, “The bugger is bloody sly, undertaking a tribulation out the outer perimeter.”
Dahu tried asking Yang Tian for the white tiger’s divine blood and teeth with a pitiful look. Thus, Yang Tian gave him a tooth and the jade jar as a reward for his recent contributions but also reminded him to keep up his efforts.
Once they were close, they saw the phenomenon in the distance, indicating the celestial peng was undertaking a tribulation.
