Chapter 0: 10. Inferiority Evil Feather
“Little Chair, are you alright?”
As soon as he rushed into the house, Qin Gou saw Xie Yu, who was ecstatic, and Yi Chengying, who was unharmed.
“It’s you? Xie Yu.”
This wench Xie Yu could actually manifest a small phantom image into the human world without being summoned by him? Even Little Zhao’s ‘Wutian’ Dharma Image couldn’t do that.
“Lord Qin, do you know her?” Yi Chengying asked curiously, still calm, as she hadn’t felt any threat from Xie Yu at all.
“She is my Dharma Image phantom.” Qin Gou looked at Xie Yu with surprise and said, “As a growth-type, she can speak human language.”
“I am not!”
Xie Yu placed her hands on her chest, her gaze falling on Little Chair, and said softly, “I only follow those who are truthful and honest, like Yi Chengying.”
“What?” Qin Gou looked strangely and said, “You’re called ‘Xie Yu,’ not ‘Shen Yu’ or ‘Sheng Yu.’ Talking like that, are you worthy of your name?”
“I’m ignoring you.” Xie Yu immediately turned her face away.
Qin Gou’s mouth twitched. Why was this creature acting like a rebellious little girl? She wasn’t born by him, but he raised her. From a stone egg, he had constantly nourished her with spiritual power. Was it easy for him? In less than two minutes, she was captivated by Little Chair, who was a stranger.
What was even more infuriating was that it happened right in front of him… Could this be the legendary “adultery in front of the husband”?!
“Little Chair, in such a short time, what did you say to Xie Yu?”
“Nothing, Little Chair just saw Xie Yu and couldn’t help but exclaim how beautiful she was. Then Lord Qin and Banwei rushed in.” Yi Chengying replied truthfully.
However, the moment Yi Chengying uttered the words “how beautiful,” Xie Yu covered her shy, flushed little face, her delicate body swaying rhythmically, and all her black feathers began to tremble slightly: “Mmhmm!”
Qin Gou raised an eyebrow and looked at Xie Yu in surprise, “So, Xie Yu actually particularly likes being praised?” Qin Gou couldn’t help but recall his last attempt to communicate with Xie Yu. She had also seemed to be seeking his praise, but at that time, Qin Gou had first expressed his surprise and given a nonsensical reply, and was then unceremoniously slapped away by this little wench.
“Nonsense!” Xie Yu glared at Qin Gou angrily, “I just feel happiest being with honest good people. Who told Qin Gou not to be honest with me last time?”
“What do you mean I wasn’t honest with you?”
“You know what you did.”
“Can you stop saying things that are so easy to misunderstand?” Qin Gou gritted his teeth in anger, because at this moment, both Little Chair and Ao Banwei were looking at him with extremely strange expressions…
“Master?”
“Lord Qin??”
Anyone who could attack their own Dharma Image was probably unprecedented and unparalleled, earth-shattering and time-decorating, and only Qin Gou of Arc-Moon Mountain.
“Anyway… you just don’t like me! I’m not staying with you anymore!” Xie Yu pouted pitifully, like a child who wanted to pretend to be angry and act out to attract her family’s attention, regain their focus, and be doted on again.
“Actually, there’s no possibility for a Dharma Image to completely detach itself while the host is still alive, right?”
“You!”
After scolding her, Qin Gou smiled slightly and quickly offered a treat, “Alright, alright. It’s true that I misunderstood you before because I didn’t understand you well enough. Now I can say responsibly, Xie Yu, you are absolutely the most beautiful bird I have ever seen! Every soft and lustrous feather of yours is pleasing to the eye, and your innate wings are incredibly majestic, no less than a phoenix!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yu lowered her head, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
“Qin Gou, do I really look like a bird?”
“What?” Qin Gou’s face stiffened.
“You must think I’m an incredibly ugly, strange bird. No wonder you said when you first saw me that it was surprisingly a female Dharma Image, how unexpected.”
Xie Yu slowly raised her head, crystal tears falling like pearls from a broken string. She rubbed her eyes reddened by her rough wiping motion in an attempt to hide her embarrassment, but the tears wouldn’t stop. Her body gradually lowered, and she crouched on the ground helplessly.
“Yi Chengying, don’t look, don’t look at me looking so ugly… I don’t want to!”
Xie Yu was in tears, and the gazes of everyone present were piercing her like sitting on pins and needles. Then, unable to bear it any longer, she completely transformed into a azure light and entered Qin Gou’s chest, disappearing.
Only her last sentence echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Xie Yu hates you!”
The three looked at each other. Yi Chengying said, “Perhaps Lord Qin praised her in the wrong direction?”
Qin Gou covered his chest and tried to communicate with Xie Yu again, but there was no response. He couldn’t help but look surprised, “This creature, why is she so inferior?”
“Inferior?”
“Exactly, not narcissistic, but extremely inferior.” Qin Gou saw through it and said seriously, “How could someone who already feels good about herself, believing herself to be naturally beautiful, be so happy because of someone else’s compliment? And then be hurt to tears by my slip of the tongue? Indeed, the more something is lacking, the more one tries to show it off.”
“But the problem is, that wench is genuinely pretty. Why is her personality so fragile and sensitive?” Qin Gou felt at this moment like he hadn’t gained a powerful growth-type Dharma Image, but had suddenly acquired a rebellious daughter who was like a little hedgehog.
“If Lord Qin had praised Xie Yu in this way just now, it would have been fine.” Little Chair shook her head helplessly.
“This is called a misstep. Who would have thought that such majestic wings would be that wench’s fatal flaw.” Qin Gou waved his hands with a mix of amusement and helplessness, “By the way, Little Chair, have your emotions stabilized?”
“Little Chair was very sad, but after seeing how unconfident Xie Yu, who has such broad shoulders, is, I suddenly feel that I’m alright. If I were to be coy again, it would seem affected.” Little Chair scratched her little head sheepishly.
“Then it seems Xie Yu the wench has made quite a contribution.” Qin Gou smiled gently.
“Actually, Little Chair thinks Xie Yu is very easy to get along with. As long as Lord Qin praises her more in the future, it will be fine.”
“I know. It’s just a pity that Xie Yu the wench will probably be on a cold war with me for a while. She’s probably still crying and sulking alone right now.” Qin Gou shrugged helplessly, “She really needs to be educated properly.”
“Lord Qin, are you angry?” Yi Chengying asked in surprise.
“Angry? Not at all. What can I do? Of course, I’ll forgive her and slowly discipline her. Who told me to be this unlucky child’s ‘wild dad’?”
Just then, a soft voice sounded only in Qin Gou’s ears.
“If you’re my dad, then you’re a birdman!”
“That’s right, I am, and I’m happy to be.”
“You… Hmph! I’m ignoring you.”
“Then stop eavesdropping on me.”
“Who cares! You won’t find me for at least a hundred years, a year, hmph, ten days!”
“Silly girl.” Qin Gou couldn’t help but chuckle.
