Chapter 5119: Green Feather
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
This time, Feng Jiu brought only Du Fan, Leng Hua, and Leng Shuang with her. The others remained behind. The eight Phoenix Guards, including Qi Kang, were to stay and guard the place, so they couldn’t accompany her.
Qin Xin and Fan Lin were the unspoken couple among them, so naturally she couldn’t take her to the Upper Immortal Realm. As for Bai Qingcheng and Ye Feifei, she felt that given their strength and cultivation, it would be better for them to stay below for now. Besides, she harbored a personal hope that they would spend more time with Qi Kang and the others. If they ever hit it off, perhaps they could form a couple.
As for Feng Ye and Zhao Yang, she intended to bring them to the Upper Immortal Realm. She only wondered whether her grandfather and the others at home would consent. Thus, she had them accompany her on the journey, and her brother, Guan Xilin, naturally returned with them as well.
The remaining group watched their departure with somewhat subdued spirits. Bai Qingcheng and Ye Feifei felt particularly low, as they too wished to stay by their master’s side, yet she had chosen to leave them behind.
Even so, they unconditionally obeyed their master’s decision, acting only upon her command.
This time, upon returning, they first visited Xuanyuan Mozhe’s father before heading straight to the Feng family’s ancestral home. Under normal circumstances, traveling by flying sword or airship would have taken at least half a month.
This time, however, with Feng Jiu’s presence, they reached the Feng family ancestral home in just a few days.
Not wanting to cause too much commotion or alarm the city’s inhabitants, they waited until nightfall before quietly approaching the Feng residence.
"Ah Jiu, what do you think? Should we just climb over the wall, or knock on the door?" Feng Ye asked with a playful smile, his almond-shaped eyes fixed on Feng Jiu beside him.
Feng Jiu shot him a glance. "Climbing over the wall to get into our own home? Knock on the door."
"Right, right, right." Feng Ye agreed, about to step forward to knock, when he suddenly froze.
Suddenly, a flapping sound came from the wall surrounding the Feng residence’s gate, as if something had leaped up. In the night’s darkness, Feng Ye squinted and saw a green-feathered chicken flapping its wings, stretching its long neck, and glaring at Feng Jiu with its beady eyes. The next moment, a shrill cry pierced the air.
"Ah! Master’s back! Master’s back! Am I seeing right? Master actually returned!" The shrill voice carried excitement and delight. Perched on the wall, it clucked and flapped its wings.
"Green Feather?"
Feng Jiu froze, staring at the plump green-feathered chicken. He realized it wasn’t just fatter—it had grown considerably larger.
"Ah! Master called me! Master called me! I almost forgot I had a master like this!" Green Feather flapped excitedly against the wall. Just as Feng Jiu thought it might dive down, it turned and leaped into the inner courtyard. The faint sound of its running footsteps and shrieks could still be heard.
"Master’s Mother! Master’s Father! Master’s Grandfather! My master, Green Feather’s master, is back! Back! Come see!"
Listening to the commotion inside, Feng Jiu’s lips twitched. This time, no need for an announcement—probably everyone in the household already knew she’d returned.
"Who is it in the middle of the night?"
The gatekeeper’s voice came from inside, still thick with sleepiness—likely roused by Green Feather’s commotion or the noise outside.
He opened a small square peephole at the bottom of the gate and peered out. The moment he saw the figure outside, all drowsiness vanished. He hurriedly swung the gate open.
