The dim light of an energy-saving bulb lit up the secret room, its gentle glow making the feathers of the resting bird with closed eyes even more dazzling.

"My little baby, what are you upset about now, still angry about last night’s incident?" Huang Teng Chong’s eyes were soft with affection, and he cooed as if he were speaking to a dear lover, his tone full of intimacy. This bird in front of him was his bread and butter.

The resting bird lifted its head, and upon seeing the bloody piece of meat that Huang Teng Chong offered, it visibly shrank back.

A hardened scar traced the edge of its turmeric-colored beak, stretching from the beak to the neck of the bird. That scar was left there by Xiao Xian’s Spiritual Rhinoceros Scissors. As the pain in the wound grew unbearable, the Feng Bird remembered those scissors and its master, trembling once more.

"Eat, my beautiful Feng Bird, this is the finest meat in the world, a thousand times tastier than those grains and rice you eat. Once you eat it, you’ll have the energy and won’t be afraid of petty thieves like last night," Huang Teng Chong coaxed. He had raised the Feng Bird for several years since he won the trust of that old oddity in Fiji and then deceitfully obtained the Feng Bird.

Initially, the Feng Bird didn’t quite trust him, but it had just started to help him accelerate the breeding on his farm when last night’s incident occurred.

Everything had gone as predicted in Fiji; the hummingbird had helped Huang Teng Chong to make a splash in China’s breeding industry, accumulating astonishing wealth. However, with Huang Teng Chong’s growing greed, although the Feng Bird was a herbivorous species eating grains and seeds, its breeding capabilities had stagnated with crops.

Yet, Huang Teng Chong’s breeding range was not just limited to these, so he changed his methods, feeding the Feng Bird all kinds of food, even human flesh, just to enhance its remarkable breeding ability.

In the early morning, Huang Teng Chong was startled awake by the injured Feng Bird that had flown back to the villa. He was similar to Yezi in one respect: since childhood, he discovered he could get along well with birds and beasts, yet as an adult, for a wealthier material life, he and Yezi chose entirely different paths.

Mentioning the name Huang Teng Chong in Beijing was fairly well-known; those familiar with him would tell you that he was best at employing cunning and deceit, bowing and scraping in front of superior people, and threatening and intimidating those beneath him. Yet, not a single person truly knew Huang Teng Chong’s origins.

Huang Teng Chong was a countryman of Uncle Lu, coming from one of Henan’s poorest villages, a hardworking child who used the tuition fees from his village to attend high school but dropped out due to poverty and instead went to vocational school. Fortunate and eloquent, he learned fluent English during vocational school from his teachers, then later stole the Feng Bird from Fiji and set his sights on his distant relative, Uncle Lu, deceiving him out of his assets. After marrying a woman ten years his senior, a deputy director of the Fisheries Department who had been divorced, he rose to prominence and became quite the figure in Beijing.

The villa he now lived in was very secluded, such that even his wife and mistress were unaware. He claimed the villa was for recuperation, but in truth it was used to rear the "Feng Bird" and entertain valued guests.

He had lived with the Feng Bird for several years, and they had grown familiar with each other’s temperaments. Having been raised by him for so long, the Feng Bird’s disposition had changed, from a gentle and precious bird to one full of aggression, thus leading to last night’s confrontation with Xiao Xian.

Huang Teng Chong tallied the days; it had only been ten days since he had sent the Feng Bird to the Milk Feed Factory. The Feng Bird could enhance animal breeding and growth, and according to normal calculations, just staying there for seventy-four days would double the number of Holstein Cattle. However, there had been a stampede accident among the batch of dairy cows, and now the police and the Food Safety Bureau were involved in the incident, so in the short term, he couldn’t risk letting the Feng Bird out.

When he had tricked the Feng Bird away from Fiji, Huang Teng Chong had made sure to find out that just like Fiji, the Feng Bird was an extraterrestrial being, and ordinary weapons had no effect on it. Huang Teng Chong was taken aback by the Feng Bird’s attack.

Since the attacker could injure the Feng Bird, they had the ability to kill it. Thinking this, Huang Teng Chong was internally relieved yet worried about the identity of the attacker: "Who could they be? How many of them are there?" From the limited description provided by the Feng Bird, Huang Teng Chong could only guess that the attacker was a woman.
