Chapter 863: Male or Female?

Xu Fan’s mouth curled slightly as he slowly began to speak.
“What you’ve just seen is the ancestral secret technique of the Vermilion Bird Clan, the Unfettered Karmic Fire, which is just as powerful as the method of Burning Essence Blood you just used, and is the strongest technique of the Vermilion Bird Clan.”
“The Unfettered Karmic Fire can directly incinerate everything, including the sun, moon, and stars, and is far more formidable than your secret technique.”
“This secret manual was given to me by the chieftain of the Vermilion Bird Clan back then in exchange for a favor he owed me.”
“As long as you’re willing to become my mount, I will naturally teach you this secret technique.”
“Furthermore, I can also enable you to advance into an Immortal Phoenix without the need for the Crimson Profound Fruit; to me, a success rate of even half of what the fruit provides is garbage.”
“Becoming an Immortal Phoenix is just the beginning; if you’re willing, you can eventually evolve into a Vermilion Bird Divine Bird.”
“I won’t force you.
Take your time to consider it.”
Indeed, Xu Fan no longer needed to coerce the Fiery Flamingo into complete capitulation.
The Fiery Flamingo wanted to refuse Xu Fan righteously, but its mouth simply wouldn’t cooperate as it silently swallowed its saliva.
No bird, or rather, no creature could refuse Xu Fan’s proposal!
Xu Fan had made an offer that the Vermilion Bird simply couldn’t decline.
The often irritable Fiery Flamingo fell silent, neither speaking nor looking at Xu Fan anymore, its gaze wandering restlessly.
It just kept breathing heavily, its body trembling slightly.
Internally, it was torn; its rationale told it that it couldn’t trample on the pride of the Vermilion Bird Clan to become someone’s mount.
What was that about?
Yet reason also told it that this was an opportunity falling from the sky; it might never evolve into a Vermilion Bird Divine Bird in its entire life, so why not cherish this chance?
Since Xu Fan had made himself so clear, he didn’t press her and waited quietly.
He knew, and was absolutely certain, that the Vermilion Bird would agree.
After a long while, the Vermilion Bird let out a long sigh.
“Huff…”
The Vermilion Bird looked at Xu Fan with piercing eyes, sharp and decisive, and asked, “Can you really guarantee that within half a month, you can help me evolve into an Immortal Phoenix?”
“Of course,” Xu Fan nodded solemnly, “If I can’t help you evolve into an Immortal Phoenix in half a month, you are free to leave at any time, with no objections from me!”
“Then, …” the Fiery Flamingo had already made up its mind, but the words were hard to utter, and after a pause, it finally blurted out, “Okay, I agree!”
Xu Fan smiled and nodded, “You’ve made a wise choice.”
The Vermilion Bird stated solemnly, “Although I agree to submit to you and be your mount, I am not your slave, and you can’t go too far in oppressing me, a bird!”
Xu Fan nodded; he was never that kind of person anyway, as could be seen from how he treated Ben Ben and Turtle Hermit on a daily basis.
Then the Vermilion Bird continued, “You also have to agree to provide some basic benefits, like weekends off, holidays off, and those sorts of cultural considerations, presents, mooncakes, rice dumplings, and all that…”I want them…”
Xu Fan suppressed a laugh and continued nodding.
Was it a demon beast or a human?
Those demands sounded like the common expectations of job seekers in the Secular World.
Seeing him nod so readily, the Vermilion Bird felt much better and went on, “You have to take care of my meals too; I eat a lot and can’t go hungry, and I only eat meat, you can’t force me to become vegetarian.”
“Hahaha,” Xu Fan chuckled, finding the Vermilion Bird quite amusing, and teased, “Alright, I agree to all your demands.
I’ll take care of your entire wellbeing, ensuring you eat well every meal.
If you wish, I can even take care of your life-long matters, finding you an unmarried, eligible female bird for pairing!”
“You!”
The Vermilion Bird’s head instantly turned red, as if it felt somewhat “shy” and fidgety.
Seeing this, Xu Fan suddenly thought of a possibility, but it was inappropriate to check directly, so he tentatively asked, “Uh…
if I may ask, are you female or male?”
Upon hearing this, the Vermilion Bird turned its head away stiffly, refusing to answer such a foolish question.
Xu Fan instantly understood…
So, it turned out to be a female Vermilion Bird!
However, it was not Xu Fan’s fault for the misunderstanding.
The voice of the Vermilion Bird was sharp, and one couldn’t distinguish between the sexes by voice alone.
Moreover, during the fight, the Vermilion Bird kept calling itself Grandpa Huo, which would mislead anyone.
Xu Fan’s expression became unnatural in an instant.
If he had known it was female, he wouldn’t have struck so hard earlier.
“I will heal you now.”
No sooner had he spoken than Xu Fan raised his right hand and started to channel True Qi to the Vermilion Bird.
In an instant, a bridge of True Qi appeared between Xu Fan and the Vermilion Bird, with massive amounts of True Qi flowing continuously from Xu Fan’s hand.
“No need!” The Fiery Flamingo immediately sprang from the ground upon hearing this, its already displeasing feathers standing on end, completely ruffled.
The True Qi of mythical creatures and that of human Cultivators might both be called True Qi, and the difference might not seem too significant in battle.
But they were fundamentally not the same thing, okay?
If Xu Fan just carelessly transferred True Qi like that, it would certainly not be rescuing the bird but a full-blown act of revenge!
If the Vermilion Bird hadn’t exploded on the spot, it would really be due to its extraordinarily tough physique.
However, after uttering those two words, the Vermilion Bird immediately kept its beak shut.
Because it had already started feeling a sense of relief throughout its body.
Whereas its meridians had been severed in more than a dozen places, making the True Qi circulation sluggish, it was now slowly starting to flow again.
It seemed not to reject Xu Fan’s True Qi; on the contrary, it felt his True Qi healing it.
After a while, the Vermilion Bird could clearly feel that its wounds were healing gradually.
If an ordinary Cultivator did this to a Vermilion Bird, it would indeed have been an act of revenge.
Why could Xu Fan do it?
The reason lay in the True Qi within Xu Fan’s body, which was not the traditional True Qi of this world.
He was a legitimate Cultivator, with a considerable amount of True Qi from the Immortal Realm in his body.
That’s why he could treat the Vermilion Bird so boldly without causing any rejection.
Now, the Vermilion Bird lay comfortably on the ground, continuing to receive Xu Fan’s healing treatment.
A quarter hour later, Xu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly withdrew his hand, and said, “That should do it, try getting up.”
The Vermilion Bird, now fully trusting Xu Fan, leapt up from the ground and joyfully found that its injuries were mostly healed.
The left wing, which had seemed on the verge of falling off, had now healed and stopped bleeding.
Though it couldn’t handle vigorous exercise yet, its normal function was no longer affected.
The bird immediately beamed with joy, stood up, and towered at a full ten meters, majestic and ha
