Everyone sat in the yard nervously.

Gu Yuan was from the Above Immortal Realm, but he was also astounded by the yard full of treasures. Especially when these items belonged to the expert. They were more valuable than Immortal Items.

One may not be an Immortal, but one would surely feel like one being around the expert!

The Firefinch was washed clean by Xiao Bai. It was placed on the cutting board, ready to be killed.

It trembled with tears in its eyes. It flinched and tensed up when it saw the shiny knife next to the cutting board. It cried fearful tears.

So terrifying, was the master of birds going to die under a knife?

No way!

It had to save itself!

It had to survive!

It thought about all the possibilities on how it could escape but to no avail.

Even the rare Golden Bees were under the thumb of the bigshot, what was a small Firefinch to him? It was probably born to be his food.

Would it turn into sh*t after it was eaten?

No, no way!

It trembled harder and flapped its wings but it could not move or fly.

Suddenly, the backyard door opened with a creak.

Li Nianfan was smiling as he held a jar of honey in his hands.

“Haha, nice gains this time. The bee nest has a lot of honey in it. I can probably keep getting honey after a while.”

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “You’re in for a treat today! We have honey and turkey. I can make a honey-roast turkey.”

Gu Changqing and the others were shocked and flattered. “Thanks, Mr. Li.”

The honey was from the Golden Bees, the ‘turkey’ was the Firefinch Demon that was a descendant of the Phoenix. This meal…was unbelievably luxurious. They felt dizzy just thinking about how luxurious it would be.

‘Thanks?!

‘Is no one going to stand up for me? Am I food to you?

‘I have to save myself! I have to save myself!’ the Firefinch thought to itself and felt its heart race. Li Nianfan smiled like the devil.

Li Nianfan said, “Xiao Bai, deal with the turkey. Remember, fast and clean.”

“Yes, Master.”

Tap tap tap.

Footsteps were approaching and the knife was held up.

The Firefinch’s feathers stood on their ends.

It felt its adrenaline running. It thought to itself, ‘The Golden Bees can produce honey, what can I provide? What’s my value for being alive?’

Chirp—

Suddenly, it had an epiphany as it chirped in a high-pitch tone. It raised its b*tt and with a pop, out came a round egg.

Gu Yuan was stunned. “The Firefinch…laid an egg?”

What was going on?

An Immortal Beast laid an egg—that was an Immortal Egg!

The Azure Ville Lord raised the Firefinch Demon for years and treated it like a God. He begged it to lay an egg for years to no avail.

That meant this egg was rare—a once-in-a-million-years type of egg, right?

It should be a groundbreaking, life-changing, celebratory event, right?

Where was the pizzazz?

Where was the Immortal audience?

That was too hasty!

Gu Changqing was stunned.

Yao Menji was stunned.

Qin Manyun was also stunned.

That was an Immortal Beast. How did it lay an egg?

That egg… A bite of that egg would let any mortal become an Immortal. They could be a cultivation genius!

The rarity and preciousness of that egg were immeasurable!

“Xiao Bai, spare the turkey!”

Li Nianfan hurried over and held the egg in his hand. He was surprised. “It lays eggs? Maybe it’s a hen?”

The egg was warm, round, and a pale pink. It looked good.

“A turkey that lays eggs…”

He furrowed his brows and hesitated.

A hen had value to him. At least he could eat eggs. Moreover, it was a turkey, and turkeys were hard to come by. He could raise it to get its eggs. Li Nianfan suddenly did not want to kill the turkey to eat it.

However, he promised the cultivators a honey-roast turkey. It would not be good to turn them down.

The Firefinch noticed that Li Nianfan was hesitating. It was overjoyed by that.

It realized that it could survive if Li Nianfan changed his mind!

It raised its b*tt again and laid three more eggs in front of Li Nianfan.

“This…”

Gu Changqing and the others felt their skin crawl as they flinched hard. They thought they were imagining things.

The Firefinch Demon laid four eggs at once?!

What was that? That was unheard of! No one would believe it!

Incredible, unbelievable, never heard of before!

“That…” Li Nianfan did not want to kill the turkey.

Nobody would kill a hen that could lay a lot of eggs.

He groaned for a while and then sighed. “A life’s a life. Suddenly, I don’t want to kill it.”

Without a second thought, Yao Mengji understood that it was a hint. He quickly chimed in, “Mr. Li, it’s rare that this hen can lay so many eggs. It would be a waste to kill it. Also, we have things to do and we need to head back. I don’t think we’ll be able to stay for the meal.”

Gu Changqing hurriedly said, “Yeah, Mr. Li, I have to go back, too. I hope you forgive me.”

Li Nianfan swiftly put aside the knife and said, “Sorry, I promised you all a meal today.”

Yao Mengji and the others saluted simultaneously, “You’re too courteous, Mr. Li. Goodbye.”

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Okay, remember this meal, I’ll make it up to you all next time.”

He filled two bottles of honey, then gave them along with two eggs to Yao Mengji and Gu Changqing.

“This meal’s canceled so I should replace it with gifts. If you don’t mind, you can have the honey and eggs.”

Yao Mengji and Gu Changqing were stunned by the sudden surprise. They were in a daze for a short while and hurriedly took the gifts. They said, “We don’t mind, of course not. Thanks, Mr. Li.”

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal, don’t be so courteous.”

…

They walked out of the four-part architecture.

Yao Mengji and Gu Changqing were seemingly still in a daze. They held on tightly to the jar of honey and the eggs as if they were the most precious things in the world.

Truthfully, they were extremely precious.

They were emotional as they cheered loudly, “Nice! Nice one!”

They simply said their goodbyes and left in a hurry. They did not dare to stay for any moment longer.

It would be safer if they went home quickly because they had treasures with them.

“Grandson.”

The Jade pendant shined on his way home. Gu Yuan said slowly, “The credit goes to me for giving the expert the Firefinch. He was pleased. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have received the eggs and honey, right?”

Gu Changqing nodded, “Yeah, you’re right, grandpa.”

Suddenly, Gu Yuan blew his top off. “Are you trying to fool me, child? Isn’t my hint obvious enough? I deserve some of those eggs and honey!”

Gu Changqing said weakly, “But grandpa, you took my painting…”

Gu Yuan was enraged. “Nonsense! I didn’t ‘take’ it! That’s called safeguarding! I didn’t even charge you safeguarding fees.”

“Actually… I don’t need you to keep the painting safe for me.”

“Nonsens! You’re a fool. Something that important can only be safe with me. The world’s a dangerous place and you’re still too young to understand,” Gu Yuan said sentimentally. “Grandpa did it for your sake!”
