“S-Senior… our races are different… we can’t have children together,” the Vermilion Bird murmured.
She never expected the old monster before her to actually want to capture her and force her to bear his children.
She was a Vermilion Bird!
Well, not a true Vermilion Bird, just one with its bloodline, but Senior, you’re a human, aren’t you?
How can a human and a demon be together?
“??? What did you say? We can’t have children because our races are different?” Shi Hao was stunned that this Vermilion Bird actually dared to argue with him, let alone claim that different races couldn’t reproduce.
“I’m telling you, even if you can’t conceive, I’ll find a way to make you. You’re just a mere mixed-blood Vermilion Bird. Why are you talking so much? Just stand there and wait.” Shi Hao glared at her.
The latter quickly lowered her head in fear and stood beside Shi Hao.
The Vermilion Bird wanted to cry.
*It’s over.
This human old monster is a pervert.
Am I, a proud little bird with the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird, really going to be captured and turned into a broodmare for little Vermilion Birds?
I don’t want that kind of thing to happen!*
Shi Hao ignored the Vermilion Bird, who looked ready to burst into tears, and turned his gaze to Zhu Yan and Qiongqi.
“It would be a pity to kill you. How do you suggest I deal with you? You dared to wreak havoc in my own backyard. Did you not know this entire area is my territory? Did you not ask who rules here before acting so insolently in my presence?”
“I surrender! I surrender! Senior, I surrender!” Zhu Yan raised its golden giant paw and spoke in human tongue, surrendering immediately.
*He refined the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow in an instant.
This human is too terrifying.*
*To save my life, I have no choice but to surrender.*
Qiongqi also lowered its wings in submission.
*This human is too monstrous.
He must be some old bastard who has ignited the Divine Fire.
It’s better to just surrender.*
Seeing the two creatures surrender, Shi Hao’s initial intention to dispose of them softened.
“Quite sensible, aren’t you? My village needs two gatekeepers. You can come back with me and guard the entrance.” Thinking of Stone Village’s lack of protection, Shi Hao decided to subdue them.
He would soon be leaving Stone Village and venturing out of the Great Desolation.
When the time came, Stone Village would need someone to watch over it.
Two beings of the Venerable Realm would be more than enough to protect the village.
“Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!” Qiongqi and Zhu Yan immediately bowed in gratitude.
“Shrink down and hide,” Shi Hao commanded.
He then reached out and seized the Mountain Treasure they had been fighting over.
“This treasure is beyond your level. Giving it to you would only bring you harm. I’ll compensate you later.”
With that, he stowed the Primordial True Scripture away and turned to the Vermilion Bird.
The latter flinched, taking a step back in terror.
“Are you seriously taking a step back?” Shi Hao asked.
“Huh?” The Vermilion Bird stared at him, bewildered.
*Senior, how could you say something like that?*
“What do you mean ‘huh’? Am I supposed to walk back?” Shi Hao glared at her again.
Under his fierce gaze, the Vermilion Bird’s eyes welled up.
She fought back tears as she shifted into her true form: a magnificent, crimson divine bird.
“S-Senior, please mount,” the divine bird cried out, her voice trembling.
“Alright,” Shi Hao smiled, then leaped onto the Vermilion Bird’s back.
“Let’s go.” Shi Hao pointed toward Stone Village.
The Vermilion Bird immediately flapped its wings and shot forward like lightning.
Behind them, Qiongqi and Zhu Yan followed closely.
Before long, Shi Hao, riding the Vermilion Bird, returned to Stone Village.
Seeing the fiery red divine bird and Zhu Yan and Qiongqi following behind, the villagers of Stone Village grew tense.
They thought fierce beasts were invading their village.
Shi Yunfeng led the clansmen, weapons in hand, and stood ready for battle.
“Village Chief, it’s me!” Shi Hao, seated on the Vermilion Bird’s back, quickly jumped down.
Seeing it was Shi Hao, the villagers of Stone Village breathed a sigh of relief.
“Shi Hao, next time you should tell us in advance. We can’t take scares like this,” Shi Yunfeng said, wiping sweat from his brow.
“Okay, I’ll be more careful next time.” Shi Hao rubbed his head, then turned to look at Qiongqi and Zhu Yan.
Under Shi Hao’s gaze, the two beasts quickly ran to his side, as docile as dogs.
If they had been subdued by Shi Hao’s formidable strength before, then upon entering Stone Village and seeing that sky-blotting willow tree, their bloodlines told them that the tree was an existence even more terrifying than Shi Hao.
They had no choice but to lower their heads.
*So what if they had to act like dogs?
What was the big deal?*
“Village Chief, these are the little dogs I’ve tamed. In the future, taking them with you on hunts will double your efficiency. They’d also be great for guarding the village; their strength is quite impressive. And they’re very obedient,” Shi Hao said, giving them a light kick with his foot at the end.
Qiongqi and Zhu Yan immediately lay down, exposing their bellies as if to tell Shi Hao, *We’re very obedient.*
Seeing Qiongqi and Zhu Yan like this, the surrounding villagers all gathered around, wanting to see what these two creatures were.
Because they had suppressed their auras and shrunk in size, the villagers had no idea of Qiongqi and Zhu Yan’s true strength, let alone their identities.
“Alright, I’m going to report to the Spirit of Sacrifice now.” After speaking to the Village Chief, Shi Hao turned and left.
The Vermilion Bird could only follow behind Shi Hao.
When the Vermilion Bird and Shi Hao arrived beneath the willow tree, her body couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably.
“A descendant with a trace of the Vermilion Bird’s bloodline?” A gentle voice sounded in the Vermilion Bird’s ear.
The next second, she found herself in a grotto-heaven that resembled a fairyland.
“Revert to human form,” Shi Hao suddenly commanded in her ear.
Hearing his order, the Vermilion Bird flapped her wings and quickly returned to her human shape.
She became a beautiful girl in a fiery red dress.
As soon as she materialized in human form, she felt Shi Hao kneading her cheeks. Get faster updates on g.com.
The Vermilion Bird could only watch, not daring to utter a single word of complaint.
“Willow God, what do you think of this little bird?” Shi Hao asked as he kneaded her cheeks and led her into the Immortal Palace.
When Shi Hao brought her before the Willow God, the Vermilion Bird’s body trembled even more violently.
Looking at the Willow God reclining on the bed, she felt a bloodline suppression.
Even her Vermilion Bird bloodline was boiling.
“It’s too impure. Why? Do you like this little creature?” the Willow God asked Shi Hao, her gaze charming as she lay lazily on the bed.
“I wouldn’t say I like her, but she has the Vermilion Bird bloodline. If she could undergo ancestral regression and be properly nurtured, it’s not impossible for her to ascend to the True Immortal realm.”
Hearing Shi Hao’s words, the Willow God immediately understood his train of thought.
“Is that so? Do you want to procreate with this little one? I can help her purify her Vermilion Bird bloodline. Then, if you dual-cultivate with her, she might even regress into a true Ten Fiends.”
The conversation between the Willow God and Shi Hao left the Vermilion Bird, who was being kneaded, completely bewildered.
*Wait, what did I just hear?
I can regress and become a true Vermilion Bird?
And even ascend to the True Immortal realm?
Is this for real?
If regressing and becoming a True Immortal only requires bearing Shi Hao’s child…*
*Why the hell wouldn’t I do it!*
At this thought, the Vermilion Bird hurriedly knelt before Shi Hao and the Willow God.
“Senior, I want to undergo ancestral regression! I’m willing to do anything as long as I can regress!” The Vermilion Bird sold herself out without a moment’s hesitation.
“Little Birdie, didn’t you say you couldn’t have babies with me? What’s wrong? Are you suddenly able to now?” Shi Hao looked at her with a wicked grin.
“No!
Senior, I’m more than willing to bear your child!
Please, let me carry your child!
I’m very capable!” Vermilion Bird puffed out her chest and said with a proud expression, “My breasts are big enough to nurse a baby.
Senior, look.” As she spoke, Vermilion Bird stood up, grabbed Shi Hao’s hand, and placed it right on her chest.
Feeling Vermilion Bird’s impressive assets, Shi Hao smiled and said, “I couldn’t tell before, but you’re quite formidable.”
“Hehehe, of course I am.” Vermilion Bird’s smile was incredibly cute.
“Since you’re willing, then I will allow you to bear my child. From today on, I am your Master. You can just call me Master from now on. I’m not that old—I’m only twenty this year.”
Hearing Shi Hao’s words, Vermilion Bird froze on the spot.
*Only twenty?*
*Are you kidding me, bro?
Are humans this broken?*
Seeing Vermilion Bird’s stunned expression, Shi Hao grabbed her delicate body, pulled her into his arms, and carried her off toward the Willow God.
