Chapter 144: Chapter 142 Can You Eat? (Third Update)

"...Yes, can eat." The Lord’s mind was in chaos, he answered subconsciously.

Subjects, or something, should be edible.

"That’s good, since it’s edible, why won’t you let me eat it?"

In front, within the gigantic tail fan of the Peacock God, countless eye patterns were rustling, as if countless eyes were staring at him.

The Lord’s consciousness gradually blurred, as if he was being persuaded.

Yes, the Peacock God suffered primordial spirit damage to protect Langqi Island, and as the Lord, he should willingly let himself be eaten, allowing the Guardian God to return to this island.

This is the responsibility he should fulfill as the Lord.

The Lord’s gaze became more and more lost. Gazing at the peacock before him, he raised his head blankly, extending his neck, waiting for the peacock to bite.

The peacock squinted its eyes in pleasure, extended its slender beak, about to peck at the bulging veins under the skin, when suddenly—

The Spirit Talisman on the Lord’s forehead exploded into flames, bursting into a violent blaze.

The Lord startled awake, even the peacock was taken aback, squinting its eyes cautiously.

"I remember, I can’t let you eat me, I haven’t lived enough." The Lord covered his neck and ran away.

Behind him, the peacock spread its tail feathers, dragging the shimmering plumage, took flight in the air, voice furious:

"Someone has cast a spell on you, who was it? Did you secretly acknowledge a new Guardian God behind my back?!"

In the peacock’s fury, it spewed out massive flames, turning the Lord’s escape path into ruins, then dove downward like a sharp arrow straight at the Lord.

The Lord didn’t expect the Peacock God to be so angry. At this moment, he was clutching his neck, too frightened to move.

Just then—

With a ding, a Copper Coin hit the bird’s beak, the Peacock God twisted its head in pain, and stopped, a group of pink was reflected in its beautiful peacock eyes.

A certain human child rubbed its eyes, yawned long, with a sleepy, soft, and mumbling voice, "Finally, you’re here, Qi was about to fall asleep."

"Who are you? You can also enter his dream realm, are you here to eat him too?" The Peacock God asked curiously, tilting its head, the action adding a touch of innocence.

"Not everyone likes eating people like you do, see this clearly," the pink Little Dumpling stepped forward, a sleepy expression on the small face, eyes misted with a layer of water, still trying hard to widen them to appear imposing, "Qi is a Xuan Shu Master, here to subdue you, that Spirit Talisman was given by Qi."

The Peacock God stared with wide eyes, gaze falling on the Lord, in an instant, fury mixed with betrayal, "You dare to conspire with a Xuan Shu Master to subdue me, Langqi Island is what I protect, the people of Langqi Island owe me a life, you dare betray me?!"

The peacock shrieked hysterically, spewing flames in anger, as if intending to destroy everything here.

The Lord clutched his neck, confusedly looked at Yun Qi, then at the Peacock God, voice full of grievance, "I was forced, you wanted to eat me..."

"What’s wrong if I eat you, haven’t I protected your family for so many years, shouldn’t I eat you?"

The Peacock God slammed its claw in anger, crushing the Lord’s throne into powder.

"..." The Lord actually felt persuaded again, turned his head towards Yun Qi for help, "Master Qi, what’s wrong with him?"

Yun Qi squinted her eyes, also noticing the peculiarity of the Peacock God.

As a top-tier Demon, his furious arrogance was normal, but the peacock before them seemed to be throwing a tantrum, mind hazy, like a child who could only throw a fit.

"Are you being controlled?!" Yun Qi asked aloud.

The Peacock God stepped forward, claws crushing the ground into dust, each step felt like an earthquake, the floor cracking with countless fissures at his pace.

"What is control, can it be eaten?" The Peacock God asked in a low voice, very seriously.

Yun Qi shook her head.

"If it can’t be eaten don’t waste my time, I’m hungry, I want fresh blood and flesh."

Eyes locked onto the Lord and Yun Qi, as his words fell, he spread his wings, a golden flame leaped beneath his claws, then he soared towards Yun Qi with monstrous heat, talons descending from mid-air like a fierce eagle hunting.

Yun Qi made a soft snort, small body rising into the air, a vortex-like whirlwind spinning up from her feet, ruffling her ear-length short hair, she instantly teleported, evading the Peacock God’s attack.

As the Lord attempted escape, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, unprepared, he was tripped by the broken floor, flying forward, before he could stand up, the peacock’s huge talons plummeted, pinning him entirely.

Sharp talons gripped into the ground, forming a cage.

The Lord lay helplessly on the ground, pleading for Yun Qi’s help:

"Master, save me!"

Yun Qi’s small face remained steady, she extended a hand, golden light sparkled from her fingertips, just about to take action.

A jet black Jiao Long roared as it emerged from the void, water streaming down its blue-black scales with a splatter.

The Jiao Long launched a swift attack, both front claws reaching for the peacock.

The Peacock Demon hurriedly flapped its wings, flying backwards to avoid the Jiao Long’s claws, while the Lord clung tightly to the ground, just about to stand up from the floor, he was grabbed by the Jiao Long’s claws and lifted into the sky.

"Ah, ah, ah, what is this, Master save me, another demon has come." The Lord screamed and shouted.

"Shut up!" The Jiao Long flew towards Yun Qi with the Lord in its grip, swooping down, tossing the Lord with a paw behind Yun Qi.

"He’s too noisy, might as well feed him to the Peacock Demon."

The Lord was heavily thrown to the ground, howling in pain, but at least his life was spared.

Yun Qi raised a small hand to shield her eyes, blinking in confusion, "Jiao Long, why are you out here?"

"I was just bathing in the river, heard the peacock’s voice and came out." The Jiao Long said, spreading its scales, shaking itself, water droplets rained down.

Yun Qi was speechless; at least a generation’s Demon King, acting like a family pet shaking off water.

The Peacock God paused, squinting eyes at the Jiao Long, "You are... you seem familiar."

Jiao Long, "Of course familiar, we have coexisted on this island for nine hundred years."

"Then can you be eaten?" The peacock tilted its head, curious, its gaze rapidly appraising the Jiao Long’s body, quickly enchanted by its massive form.

"Such a Big Head, there must be plenty of meat, seems like I can finally eat my fill this time." As it said, the peacock drooled.

The Jiao Long sneered, "That depends on whether you’re capable."

As the words fell, both sides took flight simultaneously.

With a roar from the Jiao Long and the peacock spreading its wings, dark black and pale blue intertwined, talons clashed, surging demonic power constantly collided, forming numerous halos, the Imperial Palace trembled violently from the mana’s impact, dust and stones fell incessantly from above.
