Chapter 1: What About Your Husband?

The sun was shining and the birds were chirping. Woken up by Ji XiaoYu, don't even think of sleeping well!

This was the consensus reached by all the spiritual beasts on Xiao Qing Shan1 after experiencing numerous lessons of blood and tears over the past six months.

The one who used to be over-energetic, the pheasant spirit used to cause trouble all day long. But because he felt that life in the mountains was too monotonous and boring, at the beginning of last year, he ran to Xing Cheng, a small town near Xiao Qing Shan, to work. The result was after only one year, at the end of a night when torrential rains poured down with thunder and lightning, the guy suddenly came back. Within a few days, he was like a changed bird, dispirited and yawning for days on end.

Even when faced with the fattest worms, he had no appet.i.te. He was sleepy like a sick bird suffering from the plague. If someone woke him up when he was half-sleep or made so much noise so that he couldn't sleep, it would be terrible. His fighting power would be off the charts, the fighting pheasant of the mountain would burst into the offender's nest and fight with red eyes and puffed-up feathers. If he didn't make them cry for their daddy and scare the s.h.i.t out of them because he couldn't sleep for three days straight, then his surname wouldn't be Ji!

So the spiritual beasts on Xiao Qing Shan quickly succ.u.mbed to Ji XiaoYu's despotic power and became as quiet as birds.

But this morning just after dawn, who knew who suddenly lit a string of firecrackers, so that the whole land of Xiao Qing Shan was shaken by the crackling explosion and all the animals, big and small, were awakened from their sleep.

After the firecrackers exploded, everyone was angry and confused. Who was so brave to even dare to openly challenge Ji XiaoYu?

However, after everyone waited for a long time, they didn't the angry pheasant rushing out of his nest to fight someone. It was really strange.

Did Ji XiaoYu not hear it? Impossible, the firecracker was at least 5000 decibels, it was impossible to miss it unless you were deaf.

A rabbit spirit who lived nearest to Ji XiaoYu raised his shaking hand and said: "That is, at noon yesterday, I saw Ji XiaoYu coming out of his nest. He casually picked up a few fruits and returned to his nest after eating. He hasn't come back out again......."

Everyone suddenly shocked and horrified. It had been so long, Ji XiaoYu hadn't died in his sleep, right?

Now recalling when that kid came back, there was something really not right about him. Maybe he was sick, if he didn't make it through the night........

The spiritual beasts looked at each other and their hearts went tense.

......

Meanwhile, in a cave on the hillside of Xiao Qing Shan.

Ji XiaoYu was neither deaf nor asleep. Not even that, he didn't have the time to find the big guy who had set off the firecrackers in the early morning. He was sitting in his own silk-thatched bird nest, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, staring at the slipper, slightly warm white egg under his naked b.u.t.t. This bird was totally confused.

This, this, this, where did this thing come from? He had no habit of eating eggs! Yesterday, all he ate were a few half-baked wild grapes, so sour his teeth almost fell out.

After eating wild grapes, he returned to his nest and fell asleep like he had for the past six months. As a result, he began to have stomach pain in the middle of the night, so painful that he rolled around in tears. Until he almost collapsed in the middle of the night and couldn't keep from changing to his original pheasant form.
