Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Insane Livestock

Translator: 549690339

The courtyard should have been lively in the early morning, whether it was chickens, ducks, or geese, none of them were well-behaved, creating a commotion day and night, and could crow at any time, anywhere.

But at this moment, the courtyard was eerily quiet. Whether it was chickens, ducks, or the free-ranging geese, all of them were uniformly staring at him, causing a sudden chill to surge in Feng Qing’an’s heart.

Cluck cluck!

The sound of flapping wings rang out, and the shocked Feng Qing’an followed the noise, instantly spotting a rooster with brightly-colored feathers charging towards him, even flying off the ground.

woof

Just when this brightly-colored rooster was about to pounce on Feng Qing’an, an intimidating bark resounded. Black Mountain, who had been leisurely following behind Feng Qing’an, dashed in front of him, knocking the rooster that had flown midair onto the ground with a single paw. With its fangs bared, it bent its head down, ready to bite.

“Black Mountain! ”

Feng Qing’an shouted, stopping Black Mountain, who had opened its mouth ready to bite. The previously gentle and somewhat silly dog now showed a violent side that he had never seen before, like a bloodthirsty beast that had just emerged from the mountains.

The wild aura immediately frightened the already abnormally behaving chickens, ducks, and geese, either huddled together on the ground shivering or squawking in fright, flapping their wings and recklessly crashing around. The courtyard instantly became chaotic again.

Woof-

The fierce-looking dog upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s voice, instantly froze and then turned its head. Even its thick fur could not hide its muscular frame, which gradually relaxed. When he turned his gaze to Feng Qing’an, the innocent dog had returned.

“Let go!”

Feng Qing’an’s gaze fell on Black Mountain’s paw firmly gripping the likewise terrified, squawking rooster. Despite receiving benefits from him, this rooster never warmed up to him, and its frenzied attempts to pounce on him that morning were undoubtedly related to the events that unfolded the night before.

woof-

Black Mountain again let out a bark. “I wouldn’t be so weak as to lose to this chicken!”

Feng Qing’an reluctantly said.

Although he hadn’t tested it yet, he felt that after the changes that occurred to his body last night, defeating this chicken wouldn’t be an issue.

On hearing this, Black Mountain immediately let go. The rooster, which seemed so proud yet was in fact useless, immediately stood up and flapped its wings, trying to escape but was quickly caught by Feng Qing’an.

“What are you running from? Is there something attractive about me?”

Feng Qing’an lifted the rooster. At this moment when the rooster was held in his hand, it wasn’t struggling but had a bright gaze, and its head moved closer to Feng Qing’an’s wrist.

Cluck cluck!

The rooster crowed. Of course, Feng Qing’an couldn’t understand its meaning. After he signed the Soul Contract with Black Mountain, he began to vaguely understand what it meant from its barks.

But by observing the odd behavior of the rooster, Feng Qing’an cautiously extended his other hand towards it. The rooster wasn’t polite, and it pecked at his wrist.

“Hiss-”

Feng Qing’an took in a sharp breath, looking at it as if he saw a pot of chicken soup.

What was outrageous was that after one peck, the rooster still wanted to do it again. Feng Qing’an promptly lifted it a bit higher while his other hand that got pecked slapped it once.

“Feng Qing’an!”

At this moment, Yin Shi’s irritated voice came from behind him.

The commotion in the courtyard was too loud. She had to check out just what was going on, only to see Feng Qing’an smacking her chicken as soon as she stepped out.

“Mother, good morning!”

Feng Qing’an was holding a chicken in one hand with a dog standing by his side, while the chickens, ducks, and geese scared by the ferocity that Black Mountain briefly unleashed were around him.

No matter how it looked, it was a scenario where the prodigal son was causing havoc among the poultry with his dog, at least in Yin Shi’s eyes.

“Put down the chicken!”

“Mother, this chicken has a rebellious bone, I think we should stew it today!”

Feng Qing’an said seriously. He felt that he had treated this creature fairly well, even incurring a debt of gratitude, but it never showed gratitude and instead was always aloof. Today it even pecked him. It wouldn’t be enough to appease the people’s anger unless it became soup.

“Put it down!”

Yin Shi didn’t bother with Feng Qing’an’s nonsense. She had heard him come up with too many strange reasons to kill chickens.

“This handsome chicken is one of a kind in our whole village, keeping it for crowing is a great idea. Why are you insisting on killing it?”

“This chicken pecked me!”

Feng Qing’an said with a sense of grievance, and he also felt somewhat wronged. So, a good-looking chicken could also change its fate. In this world that values appearances, luckily, he was among the best.

“You caught it. Wouldn’t it naturally peck you?”

For Yin Shi, her good-for-nothing son was asking for it.

“We really can’t kill it?”

Feng Qing’an was a bit unwilling. His hand that was pecked already had a red dot, so it wasn’t fair if this chicken didn’t become soup.

“As long as I’m here today, you’re not touching it!”

Yin Shi’s tone was especially strong. She had been raising chickens for many years but never raised such a beautiful rooster. The village chief’s oldest son came to her wanting to buy it for ten taels of silver, but she wasn’t willing to sell. How could she let her son slaughter it?

“Alright, consider yourself lucky today!”

Feng Qing’an unhappily opened his hands and let go of the colorful rooster which only had appearances and was hollow inside.

Honestly, he was curious about the taste of chicken that was nourished by Spiritual Qi. It should be different.

“What are you planning to do? I warn you, if something happens to my rooster, I’ll make you pay!”

Yin Shi warned with a stern face. Her rooster was more valuable than any chickens in the pen. It couldn’t be compared with the brocade chickens she specifically bought for her son to slaughter.

“Okay, I promise, I won’t slaughter it!”

Faced with such a stern tone, Feng Qing’an immediately gave his promise. Anyway, he didn’t need to harm the chickens and ducks anymore. As for this colorful rooster, he could use it to test what changes had occurred in him and the impact it had on others.

Looking at his mother Yin Shi’s expression and tone, she should not have sensed anything abnormal, otherwise, she would have come to check on him and wouldn’t have cared about such a rooster!

Humans couldn’t sense it, but judging from the reactions of the chickens, ducks, and geese in the courtyard just now, if he encountered birds, beasts, fish, and insects outside that responded like this colorful rooster, it would be quite terrifying.

Then he’d better not go out. In case he does, he must have Black Mountain by his side, and he shouldn’t go to remote places. Although Black Mountain was changing, it might not be able to handle more ferocious beasts in the wild yet. Moreover, there were parts of the world where the wild animals are not the only danger.

If those phenomena beyond his current knowledge would also be attracted to him, that would be terrible..
