CHAPTER 361: CHAPTER 361: CLOUD WORLD (QUE ZELIAN) 9 (BONUS)

Que Zelian was already livid with anger at Qing Sangbiao.

In the past, he could pretend and not let his true emotions show.

But now in the Cloud World, he could only show his truest self.

Aside from flirting with Xiao Jinsheng, Que Zelian disdained disguising himself at other times.

He reached out, forcefully pulling Xiao Jinsheng into his arms, warning Qing Sangbiao, "She has chosen me."

"Besides, you’re originally from the Bird Clan, and I’m originally a human. It’s normal for you not to become human," Que Zelian reminded.

"You’re a bird," Qing Sangbiao was confused.

It didn’t know what a Beastman was, nor the awakened power of the Beast Clan.

It only knew it couldn’t become human.

Couldn’t have hands and feet with Bird Clan wings.

Even knowing it couldn’t become human.

Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t turn it into a human either.

Yet Qing Sangbiao sincerely offered the flower from its paw to Xiao Jinsheng, explaining, "Stone, you are the first person I know... um... you’re a stone."

"Only those whom I, Qing Sangbiao, genuinely recognize as good friends are qualified to receive a flower from me."

"But such flowers are only available during the day."

The rosy glow of the Cloud World halts time, warmly illuminating this world.

Even though there is no alternation of day and night here.

But the residents of the Cloud World still have their own methods to differentiate time.

Seeing Xiao Jinsheng accept the small red flower, Qing Sangbiao nodded happily and asked Que Zelian, "When you turn into a human, can you fly?"

"Do you want to fly to the rosy light?"

"When I came, I saw many birds preparing to head to the rosy light today."

On the way to the rosy light, Caicai gained a son.

Initially, Qing Sangbiao was studying whether Que Zelian’s human form was convenient.

Until it caught sight of a strange giant green onion under its eyes suddenly transforming into a majestic eagle.

Qing Sangbiao’s eyes lit up instantly.

Flapping its wings, it flew close to Caicai, repeatedly asking, "Eagle, can you turn into a human?"

"That’s simple," Caicai boasted.

It immediately transformed into a human cub, combining Xiao Jinsheng’s and Que Zelian’s appearances.

"And with big wings added?" Qing Sangbiao still demanded.

"Simple!" Caicai’s eyes painfully swept over the doubled points deducted from transforming into a human.

With gritted teeth, it added a pair of fiery large wings to its back.

"Mom! Dad!" Qing Sangbiao immediately knelt.

Unable to distinguish Caicai’s gender.

It simply shouted out everything it could think of, pleading, "Please teach me this transformation magic."

"You need to call me, the Supreme Lord Caicai," Caicai sternly reminded.

Not to mention, with the face combining all of Xiao Jinsheng’s and Que Zelian’s attributes.

Imitating Que Zelian’s profundity, it left Qing Sangbiao utterly bewildered.

"I will be your servant bird from now on, dear Supreme Lord Caicai," Qing Sangbiao spoke devoutly.

"Mm." Caicai responded modestly.

Looking pained at the rapidly deducted points.

Quickly transforming back to the green onion Caicai, rushing after Xiao Jinsheng.

Simultaneously introducing to Xiao Jinsheng and Que Zelian, "This is Qing Sangbiao, my son, your grandson."

"Six," Xiao Jinsheng was speechless.

"Impressive," Que Zelian spoke, directed not only at Caicai.

Coming to the Cloud World, Caicai’s gains were the greatest.

Xiao Jinsheng originally thought he hadn’t discovered anything new.

Until entering the rosy light with Que Zelian.

A phoenix’s cry.

A large bird with flaming tail feathers zoomed past her.

"Phoenix! A Phoenix!?" Xiao Jinsheng gazed at the firebird’s back, too astonished to speak.

"Don’t you like having birds at home?" Que Zelian’s questioning voice came from above.

Xiao Jinsheng turned back to meet Que Zelian’s downward gaze.

She gave a guilty smile, stubbornly asking, "Was that a Phoenix just now?"

"I don’t want to answer questions about any other birds," Que Zelian averted his eyes.

"Wu wu wu, Que Que, my good Que Que." Xiao Jinsheng shook his hand, pleading, "I’ve never seen a Phoenix in my life."

"In my world, if two people in love can receive a Phoenix’s blessing, they will have everlasting affection... eh, where are you taking me?"

Xiao Jinsheng was contemplating how to persuade him.

Only to be carried by Que Zelian flying deeper into the rosy light, pursuing that firebird.

The clouds moved ahead, blocking the firebird’s path.

The firebird turned back, its phoenix eyes landing on the one blocking its way.

It tilted its head, familiarly asking, "Que Zelian, you’ve turned human?"

"Hmm? Energy source?" The firebird looked at Xiao Jinsheng curiously.

"Phoenix," Que Zelian, holding Xiao Jinsheng, floated stably in mid-air, explaining to Xiao Jinsheng, "You saw right, it’s a Phoenix."

"Phoenix, bless us," Que Zelian called to the phoenix.

"You rushed here just for this request?" The Phoenix was puzzled.

It shook its feathers, eyes falling on Xiao Jinsheng, "Between the two of you, there’s a very deep bond, a united path."

"A couple?" The Phoenix laughed, "Will she stay in the Cloud World for you?"

"No," Que Zelian answered before Xiao Jinsheng could struggle.

"Then what should I bless you with?" Phoenix retorted, "Bless you to reunite soon, or never meet again?"

"I’m serious," Que Zelian frowned, gently patting Xiao Jinsheng’s back to comfort her.

Indicating not to mind this sharp-tongued Phoenix, emphasizing, "She doesn’t need to stay in the Cloud World, nor will I."

"The Cloud World belongs to the Bird Clan," the Phoenix reminded.

"Outside, even the Dragon Clan will be hunted by other races."

"If you want a peaceful life, you’d be better off staying in the Cloud World together," the Phoenix said, its phoenix eyes looking at Xiao Jinsheng, "Your power will invite danger, staying here is safer for you."

"The Cloud World is nice, but I have reasons I must leave," Xiao Jinsheng calmed her excitement of seeing the Phoenix, "Thank you for your reminder."

Hearing this, the Phoenix merely gazed deeply at Xiao Jinsheng.

Then sweeping its gaze to Que Zelian where Xiao Jinsheng aimed to go, it also wanted to go.

It laughed, reminding, "You can leave, but he can’t escape the Cloud World."

"I know, you need to go through the rosy light," Xiao Jinsheng nodded.

"And you need to become the owner of the Cloud World," the Phoenix smiled in response.

It further asked Xiao Jinsheng, "Do you know how to become the owner of the Cloud World?"

It was a question Xiao Jinsheng had been chasing.

Now, seeing the Phoenix, she also understood it was time for the answer.

"Defeat me," the Phoenix retreated.

The rosy light filled the entire sky of the Cloud World.

The clouds were driven away by light and flames.

The Phoenix’s figure disappeared before Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes with the illumination.

Reappearing was a phoenix’s shadow veiling the entire sky, floating with cloud fire.

Its majestic murmur echoed between heaven and earth.

The Phoenix in the air opened its eyes, its gaze like two suns hanging in the sky.

"Defeat me, and you can take him away," the Phoenix solemnly declared.

[Master...]

The Star System Map’s voice rang seriously in Xiao Jinsheng’s mind: [This Phoenix, Twenty Four Stars in Superpower]

[It belongs to the highest Star Level in this universe’s rules]
