As Bai Chen Feng was unwilling to leave Lord Little Yan’s side, the Chief Priest of the Bird Tribe had to make the visit instead. Other than the first time displaying a slight surprise upon meeting Lord Little Yan, the Chief Priest no longer reacted or said a word in subsequent meetings.
It was also because the Chief Priest was worried about making the famous death god, the new Lion Demon Emperor, unhappy. It would be a great sin if it resulted in any delays to the ceremony.
Bai Chen Feng might not display it on the surface, but he did develop a rare bit of favourable impression of this Bird Demon for knowing its place.
As they slowly got to know each other better, Bai Chen Feng did not seem to be as terrifying as rumours made him out to be.
On the contrary, he was smart, forbearing and quick with gratitude or revenge!
Moreover, even the Eagle Demon King could barely continue watching after he saw how much adoration Bai Chen Feng showered onto Lord Little Yan.
Today was the last day of inspection and practice as the ceremony would officially start tomorrow.
Everything looked to be in place, causing the Eagle Demon King and Bai Chen Feng to heave a small sigh of relief.
Seeing that Bai Chen Feng was in a good mood, the Eagle Demon King tried to sound out: “Lord Lion Demon Emperor. Pardon me if I overstepped, is this small friend beside you a member of our Bird Clan?”
Bai Chen Feng looked at Eagle Demon King warily. The favourable impression from before disappeared completely: “What does your tribe intend to do?”
Eagle Demon King immediately expressed that he has no ill intentions: “Lord Demon Emperor has misunderstood, I bore no ill will. After seeing your friend over the past few days, I noticed that she lacks certain habits of the Bird Tribe despite being one of our members. Maybe this is because she did not grow up in the Bird Tribe. It is still okay for now, but members of my tribe rely heavily on such innate habits to cultivate well. Any deficiencies would likely result in an impasse in the future.
If Lord Lion Demon Emperor feels rest assured, you can send your friend to the Bird Tribe’s school for lessons. Learning our tribe’s heritage and habits will undoubtedly benefit her much in the future!”
Bai Chen Feng looked at the Eagle Demon King suspiciously, but he could not detect any hidden motives.
The Eagle Demon King was very open as the Bird Tribe had always been firmly united.
Logically speaking, the Bird Tribe should have many internal politics and in-fighting as they were formed from many different tribes. However, due to the Bird Tribe being under the rule of the Phoenix Tribe since it was created, there were no such problems.
The Bird Tribe was extremely protective of their own and extremely brave and fierce against outsiders. Especially after the Phoenix Demon Emperor ascended and the Roc Demon Emperor got injured. The other demons started to suppress the Bird Tribe, causing them to become even more united.
Now that the Roc Demon Emperor has returned, the Bird Tribe had at once regained influence, but their nature did not change.
When the Eagle Demon King saw Lord Little Yan, he developed a favourable opinion of the latter. He treated her as a fellow Bird Tribe member who had gotten lost outside.
He also noticed that this tribe member knew nothing about the Bird Tribe, yet somehow reached Demon Great General Realm at such a young age.
Such an unpolished jade of great talent will only be a waste if she continues to follow the Lion Demon Emperor.
If not for the Eagle Demon King witnessing how much the Lion Demon Emperor cared for its new tribe member, treating her as though she was his child, the Eagle Demon King would not have made the kind suggestion.
He had already prepared himself for a vicious scolding first.
Bai Chen Feng was unable to see any malicious intent from the Eagle Demon King. He had also heard of how protective the Bird Tribe were to one of their own and believed that the latter must have treated Lord Little Yan as a tribe member.
Logic tells him that this was the best method for Lord Little Yan.
Yet his emotions cannot accept Lord Little Yan leaving him.
Over the past few days, he had been cleaning up demons bearing animosity towards him. However, only when he met Lord Little Yan and had a conversation with her every day, was his heart able to be at peace.
