Chapter 121 The Spilled Vinegar Jar
The baby dog had only been hatched a few days ago and was being carefully raised by Yun Yici, never having suffered the harsh realities of society.
Today, a powerful punch from Mu Yunjian completely stunned him.
The chubby, yellowish-brown dumpling, having just been brutally beaten, immediately burrowed into Yun Yici's arms for comfort.
Who would have thought that Yun Yici, who usually paid all his attention to him, was now only talking to the bad rabbit that was hitting him, while Xiao Ba kept chirping in dissatisfaction.
Yun Yici's mind was entirely on Mu Yunjian at the moment.
While comforting Xiao Ba by taking out the exquisite box where it usually slept, she asked Mu Yunjian with concern, "The heavenly tribulation is a lightning tribulation, right? It would be best to tell Master and find some magical artifacts to ward off the lightning."
Mu Yunjian chuckled softly. He originally wanted to tell her that a demon cultivator could only withstand the transformation by using his demon body. If he could withstand it, he would become a demon cultivator. If he couldn't, he might die.
But the words took a different turn before they came out.
He calmly said, "I can only withstand the Transformation Lightning Tribulation by myself. I will be fine. After passing the Transformation Lightning Tribulation, I will completely pass through the dormant period."
Aside from needing to go into seclusion to refine the remaining Nine Infant Bloodline, the annual dormancy period should no longer occur.
After listening, Yun Yici did not try to persuade him further.
She thought to herself that although the villain Happy Ball had absorbed some of the egg liquid's nutrients from Xiao Ba, it should still be usable.
If something were to happen to Mu Yunjian during his tribulation, the villain Happy Ball could save his life.
Yun Yici opened the exquisite box on the table, and the chubby little bird in her hand chirped twice, ready to jump inside.
The little rabbit, who was lying sprawled out on the bed, inadvertently glanced at the ugly bird's movements.
Feeling that his property had been violated, Mu Yunjian immediately jumped out of bed, leaping three feet high: "Don't go in! That's mine!"
The domineering declaration from Mu Yunjian made both the man and the bird turn their heads to look at him.
While wiping her sweat, Yun Yici explained, "Senior brother, you can't sleep here anymore, and this was given to me by Senior Brother Rong. I was just letting you stay here temporarily."
Hachi, who had already stretched out a small paw while standing on the edge of the exquisite box, finally found a way to get revenge on the bad rabbit.
Xiao Ba was not afraid at all. With a "wicked" grin, he lay down directly inside, demonstrating with his actions that he was truly daring.
Enraged by Xiao Ba, Mu Yunjian fainted.
He couldn't tell whether his anger stemmed from his nest being occupied by an unknown demonic bird, or from Yun Yici actually speaking up for the other demonic beasts.
Mu Yunjian jumped out of bed in a fit of rage, then stormed over to the table, intending to climb up and drag out the wretched bird that had stolen his exquisite box, and then pluck all its feathers.
Seeing that things were not going well, Yun Yici quickly picked up the ferocious little rabbit from the ground.
She put her hands through the baby rabbit's forelimbs and held it above the exquisite box, gesturing to it.
"See, you can't sleep, so why would I lie to you?"
Mu Yunjian was completely unguarded with Yun Yici. After being picked up by her, he subconsciously kicked his hind legs when his feet were off the ground.
The girl's soft, delicate hands embraced him, the warmth of her touch almost penetrating his fur.
Mu Yunjian couldn't help but struggle for a moment, but when his gaze fell on the ugly bird lying peacefully in the box, he said angrily, "If I can't sleep, I won't let him sleep either."
"Master has to share with others, junior sister has to share with others, so does the place I'm sleeping have to be shared with others too?"
What the hell is this about sharing a master and sharing a junior sister?
Yun Yici held Mu Xiaotu in her palm from behind with one hand, and pinched his round, chubby cheek with the other hand when he was not paying attention.
She smiled and said, "My master and I are not objects. If you say such things again, I will tell my master that you used to like to fight for the bed. You can sleep in the bed now."
Anyway, there are plenty of rooms on the entire spirit boat, so it wouldn't be a problem to let Mu Yunjian stay in one of them.
Mu Yun struggled as her cheek was pinched: "I won't sleep in the same bed as you. You hit me every time I fall asleep."
Speaking of this, Mu Yunjian was filled with resentment. When he transformed into his original form, he was bullied by Yun Yici both openly and secretly.
However, Yun Yici was different from Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan; he simply didn't know what to do with her.
Yun Yici released his face speechlessly and said, "I never said I wanted to sleep with you. There are plenty of empty rooms next door."
"By the way, you two don't know each other yet."
"Senior brother, this is Xiao Ba."
Yun Yici then said to Xiao Ba, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed in the exquisite box, "Xiao Ba, this is my second senior brother, Mu Yunjian. You can't peck at him anymore."
Once freed from its predicament, Mu Yunjian quickly jumped down from Yun Yici's palm onto the table.
He finally realized that something was wrong with Xiao Ba.
He said, "Where did this ugly bird come from? It's no ordinary monster; you should be careful of it."
Demon cultivators exert a bloodline-based suppression on demonic beasts.
But this ugly bird named Xiao Ba wasn't afraid of him at all; it even arrogantly provoked him.
If it were said that his demon bloodline was too weak, now that he has fused with the Nine-Headed Serpent's essence blood, how dare this ugly bird be so presumptuous in front of him?
Yun Yici said, "Xiao Ba was hatched from an egg I exchanged from the Treasure Pavilion."
"I heard from the elders of the Treasure Pavilion that this egg was actually made by my master."
"I don't know what a 'Little Eight' bird is, but it will definitely be very powerful when it grows up."
Little Ba, who was pretending to be asleep inside the exquisite box, seemed to understand Yun Yici's words and happily chirped in agreement.
Mu Yunjian sneered, "You'd be better off relying on me than on him. Given time, I will surely become a world-renowned demon king!"
Yun Yici had no doubt about what Mu Yunjian said.
This is because that's the career path Mu Yunjian takes in the story: becoming a demon king, wreaking havoc, committing all sorts of evil deeds, and constantly opposing the male and female leads.
Yun Yici said seriously, "From what you're saying, you want to go back to the Demon Realm to develop your own power?"
Mu Yunjian choked up immediately; he had never given up on the idea of returning to the demon realm to take revenge.
Giving up revenge would be a betrayal of his mother for him.
Moreover, since he obtained the essence of the Nine-Headed Serpent, if he doesn't return to the Demon Realm, his identity as a demon cultivator will also be a hidden danger.
But Mu Yunjian hesitated at this moment.
Choosing to return to the Demon Realm would mean going against the grain of Wen Fuyue and Yun Yici.
They wouldn't accompany him to the demon realm, so he became alone again.
Without realizing it, he had grown accustomed to his peaceful life.
Mu Yunjian couldn't answer for a long time, and finally said hastily, "Let's talk about it later, there's no rush."
Yun Yici didn't press him, and changed the subject, saying, "Do you want to stay in this room, or should I take you to choose another room?"
He was distracted by the evening clouds and had no interest in choosing a room, so he just said it didn't matter.
Yun Yici then left the room they were in to Mu Yunjian, and took Xiao Ba to stay in the next room.
Little did she know that her actions had pierced the rabbit's heart completely.
Mu Yunjian jumped up and said, "It's one thing to let him stay where I sleep, but you actually want to share a room with him?"
Yun Yici: "...Then I'll leave? You two can stay together?"
