It was one thing for the egg from the upper realm to hatch a little rooster, but the key was that it was both arrogant and boastful. This was something Jun Gou Sheng couldn’t tolerate.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

If the contracted beast was so arrogant, how could he, the protagonist and master, continue to get along in the future?

“Wow!”

“So cute!”

Liu Wanshi, who was busy working, came out. Seeing the little creature with water-blue feathers, she happily walked forward, about to pick it up and lift it high.

“Woman!”

The little rooster said very arrogantly, “Don’t touch me!”

“…”

Liu Wanshi stopped and said, “Sect Master, such a cute little rooster—are you really going to stir-fry it?”

“Look how arrogant it is, practically flying up to the sky. It must be stir-fried!”

“But… it’s too small. If we stir-fry it, it won’t even be enough for the Sect Master alone to eat.”

Her meaning was that stir-frying it wasn’t out of the question, but at least it should have some substance so the disciples could all have a taste.

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin and said, “Raise it for a while first. After it gets fat, then stir-fry it.”

“Hmph.”

The little rooster said arrogantly, “This young master is a divine beast descendant immune to water and fire.”

Jun Changxiao, who had just withdrawn his thought, saw its arrogant and irritating gaze, and his temper immediately flared up again.

“Dudu! Bring the oil wok. This seat wants to see how it’s immune to water and fire!”

“This isn’t good, is it?”

Liu Wanshi said with her mouth, but her body was very honest as she placed the large wok on the stove, then poured in the peanut oil that currently lacked exclusive naming rights.

“Tch.”

The little rooster’s two wings remained folded together, maintaining its pose that recognized neither kin nor friend.

“Girl, start the fire!”

“Wait!”

Jun Changxiao changed his mind, “This seat will do it personally.”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

In an instant, various divine-grade and saint-grade level flames all poured into the stove below, wildly burning the large wok.

The little rooster looked somewhat surprised and said, “This should be a special fire-attribute constitution. No wonder you’re qualified to become my master.”

Hearing this, Jun Changxiao’s anger intensified.

So becoming your master required checking qualifications!

Fine!

Just wait!

“Gurgle gurgle!”

Before long, the oil in the wok began to boil.

“Swoosh!”

Jun Changxiao grabbed the little rooster and suspended it above the oil wok, saying, “Fried chicken actually isn’t bad either.”

“What flavor does the Sect Master prefer?”

“Cumin flavor!”

“Got it!”

Liu Wanshi slapped cumin powder onto the cutting board.

“Add some chili powder too.”

“Got it!”

Two devils!

The little rooster, who had been quite arrogant and proud just moments ago, felt the heat rising from the oil wok below and immediately became somewhat scared, saying, “This young master is immune to water and fire, not to oil seas!”

“Less nonsense.”

“Go down for this seat!”

“Swoosh!”

Jun Changxiao flicked his hand and directly threw the little rooster down.

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle!”

The sound of frying immediately rang out.

“Cock-a-doodle-doo—”

The little rooster that fell into the oil wok seemed like it was burning calories, jumping around in there with wings flapping and claws dancing.

“Heavens!”

Liu Wanshi stared with wide eyes and said, “It’s actually fine!”

Jun Changxiao was also quite astonished.

He had used Sacred Flame Fire for heating, so the oil in the wok was absolutely scalding hot.

Forget a just-hatched little rooster—even if Purple Scale Demon King’s hand was put in there, it could be fried to a crispy outside and tender inside.

This guy had some ability!

“Cock-a-doodle-doo!”

The little rooster trapped in the oil wok kept jumping and crowing chaotically, saying, “Master, I was wrong! Master, save me quickly!”

“Swoosh!”

Jun Changxiao waved his hand and withdrew the spiritual energy pressing on the wok.

He really hadn’t planned to fry the just-hatched contracted beast. He mainly wanted to test whether this guy was really bragging. Now that it was dancing in the oil wok, it was enough to prove it had some ability.

“Whoosh!”

Without the suppression, the little rooster jumped out of the wok and stood on the cutting board. Both of its claws were swollen, pretty much cooked through.

Jun Changxiao sat down and said, “Speak. What other abilities do you have?”

Since it was an opportunity left by Venerable Guanhai, and had mutated through his efforts, even if it was a little rooster, there should be something different about it. Otherwise… it really could only be stir-fried.

“Master!”

The little creature wailed, “I really am a descendant of the Vermillion Bird!”

“A chicken being related to the Vermillion Bird—do you take this seat for a fool?” Jun Changxiao said.

“Sigh.”

The little rooster sighed and said, “I don’t know why I look like this either. It’s completely different from my inherited memory!”

“Inherited memory?” Jun Changxiao looked puzzled.

The system said, “Some exotic beasts obtain inherited memories after birth.”

“You mean your true form isn’t a rooster?” Jun Changxiao said.

“Right!”

The little rooster broke down and said, “It should be that kind of peacock-like form!”

“Oh, is that so?”

Jun Changxiao looked at him suspiciously.

The system said, “Host, I think there might be a problem with the incubator. If the mutation succeeds, it might change the form.”

“There’s that kind of operation?” Jun Changxiao was astonished.

The system continued, “Purple Scale Demon King once said that Xiao Longlong was stolen from dragon clan territory and was an extremely rare Five-Clawed Divine Dragon, but the result was hatching a lizard-like form.”

Jun Changxiao frowned and said, “Are you saying that if it hatched normally, it might have hatched a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon, but mutating in the incubator changed its form?”

“Correct,” the system said.

It could reach this conclusion based on the second hatching.

An opportunity left by an upper realm mighty one turning out to be just a little rooster was absolutely unscientific and absolutely embarrassing. Combined with Xiao Longlong’s hatching process, it had to suspect that the incubator not only had a mutation mechanism but might also have a transformation mechanism!

If that was really the case, it was quite a scam!

Jun Changxiao didn’t dwell on the form, but said, “This seat doesn’t care whether you’re a rooster or a Vermillion Bird descendant. You must use your strength to prove your value, otherwise…” He pointed at the oil wok and said, “Roll in there yourself.”

“I have strength, I have strength!”

The little rooster said, “I can crow on time every day to wake sleeping humans and get them up to work!”

Jun Changxiao broke down and said, “With this ability of yours, even the most ordinary rooster could do the job.”

“Ordinary roosters can’t do it. If you don’t believe me, Master, please listen carefully!” The little rooster supported itself on one foot, then channeled energy from its dantian in one breath, raised its head, and let out a cry: “Cock-a-doodle-doo—”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Space trembled, transforming into ripples that spread outward, instantly enveloping the entire Eternal Sect, causing the minds of disciples who were cultivating to shake.

“What’s that sound?”

“A rooster crowing?”

“My goodness, it’s so loud!”

“That single cry could probably be heard in Qingyang City, right?”

That’s right!

Residents of Qingyang City hundreds of miles away heard the rooster crow and looked toward Iron Bones Mountain one after another, their eyes showing surprise.

“Swoosh!”

Wild Boar Peppa, who had been busy for half a day and just had time to rest, heard the crow and immediately stood up, then rushed madly to the wasteland and released earth-attribute energy to start clearing land.

Most miraculously, though it had been very tired, now it didn’t feel fatigued at all.

The disciples of the Eternal Sect were the same. Some disciples who were breaking through minor levels or major realms and whose minds had been difficult to calm down, after hearing the crow, immediately achieved mental clarity and quickly entered breakthrough states!

Jun Changxiao also detected a refreshing and calming effect from the sound, so he said in surprise, “This magical?”

“Master!”

The little rooster said arrogantly, “Can ordinary roosters do this?”

“Interesting.”

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin and smiled, “We can have it crow every morning to wake disciples up, then they can cultivate full of energy all day.”
