Chapter 28

After leaving Wang Tianba, Kong Bi went to the Peacock Garden along the way.

Although Wang Tianba’s feel was better, there was no need to ignore the other one after petting this one, right? An adult should, of course, want both, why single out one bird for exclusive favor?

Having been in contact with the green peacocks for so long, Kong Bi had long understood when to pet them.

The best time to stroke the peacocks is in the evening, because they generally groom their feathers in the morning, so they won’t bother to tidy them up in the evening. Anyway, the feathers will still be messy after sleeping all night, it’s a thankless task.

Furthermore, the oil secreted by the glands at the base of the green peacock’s tail is limited. If it’s used up at this time, there might not be enough for grooming the feathers tomorrow. So, generally speaking, if they’re petted in the evening, unless they have obsessive-compulsive disorder, green peacocks are too lazy to bother.

After all, who doesn’t go to bed with a bare face at night?

As soon as she saw someone entering her territory, Huājiāo immediately looked up and ran over happily.

Although it can fly, peacocks actually prefer to walk on the ground. After all, fruits don’t grow in the sky, and they’re heavier than other birds, so they’re too lazy to fly unless it’s absolutely necessary

Kong Bi smiled and stretched out her hand: “Why haven’t you gone to bed so late today? Are you waiting for me?”

She reached out, preparing to welcome Huājiāo, who had no intention of braking and was about to plunge into her arms. Who knew that just before making physical contact with Kong Bi, Huājiāo suddenly drifted past her, while Lord Shen, still unable to brake due to his heavy tail feathers, crashed into her.

Kong Bi: ‘…?’

This behavior was really out of character for Huājiāo. You know, normally it would be the first one to rush over. Regardless of whether Lord Shen really fell or pretended to fall, it would kick him away and enjoy the attention alone before letting the other green peacocks come over.

Kong Bi was still in doubt when she saw Hua Jiao slowly circling around her. It took out a brown feather from Kong Bi’s hair that obviously did not belong to a green peacock. It opened it mouth and let the feather fall to the ground, looking at her meaningfully.

The adult male peacock next to her saw Hua Jiao like this, lowered his head and sniffed it. He smelled a familiar scent from it and immediately stood behind Huājiāo.

“The King went to find other birds behind our backs!”

Kong Bi suddenly felt a little guilty under the gazes of the group of green peacocks, like she’d been caught in the act…呸呸呸 (tut-tut-tut), how could the demon king taking in a subordinate be called cheating?

Listen to my excuses…

“Okay, okay, why are you making such a face? I went out early this morning to fight with the owl yesterday for you. I finally tamed it. Tomorrow I will bring Wang Tianba for recognition.”

Because she was afraid that Huajiao and Wang Tianba would fight, Kong Bi deliberately did not let them bump into each other when she came back. Otherwise, if it saw Wang Tianba’s performance, Huajiao wouldn’t believe Kong Bi’s lies.

But now Huajiao believed it. After all, this is the king. How could she lie to it?

Huajiao arched Kong Bi’s hand with emotion: “You have worked hard, king.”

“What’s the matter?” Kong Bi said righteously, and her whole body seemed to be glowing. “This is what I should do.”

Now the green peacocks can finally touch it. Kong Bi squatted on the lawn and stroked it from head to tail. When Huajiao shook it feathers and prepared to go back to sleep, she immediately reached out and scooped up another one.

“Hey, Honghong, your muscles are a little tight today. Are you practicing spreading your tail again? Let me give you a massage.”

“Duhu——”

Honghong is the adult male green peacock among the green peacocks. She is Huajiao’s partner and her name is also from Huajiao, which comes from the red fruit that Huajiao likes to eat the most in the Shiwan Mountains.

The other immature male peacock is the child husband that the other female peacocks like.

In fact, before finding a male peacock, female peacocks are led by one of their own to wander around until they find a male peacock they like and join their group. Only then does it become a one-male, multi-female combination. However, Pepper is a demon, after all, with the innate dominance of a demon, and has no intention of sharing the boyfriend she has set her sights on. That’s why the other female peacocks found another male.

Of course, whether it’s Hong Hong or the other male peacock, their status is only temporary. If their usual behavior doesn’t satisfy the female peacocks, it’s not surprising that all the green peacocks choose to switch to another male during the breeding season.

This is also the reason why Honghong works hard to practice opening his tail. After all, Huajiao is a monster. It is Huajiao who is responsible for daily patrols and eating. He can only work harder on beauty.

You know, he actually opened her tail to Huajiao last year, but it obviously did not satisfy her, so he is still working hard to practice. After all, if it doesn’t work this year, Huajiao will probably give it to other green peacocks and find another one.

Animal mating views are different from humans. Most don’t involve emotions, and focus more on strength. But Huājiāo is a demon, after all, and unless another male demon appears, all the male peacocks will be inferior to her, making mate selection even more difficult.

Hong Hong was chosen because it is relatively handsome among the green peacocks. Additionally, he was probably the first to leave the nest in its litter, had a better diet, so it grew stronger and more spirited. Although it’s not a demon, at least it can communicate with Huājiāo relatively smoothly, unlike the other male peacock, which always asks if it can be eaten no matter what they’re talking about. It’s the tallest among the short ones.

After Honghong left, Lord Shen immediately squeezed over. He had fought with another sub-adult male peacock in the past few days, so his status had been significantly improved. Despite this, no female peacock still favored him. Of course, now those female peacocks also looked down on the sub-adult male peacock. They couldn’t even beat a skinny male peacock. It was really embarrassing for the peacock. How could he still want to find a wife?

Huh~Pah!

As a result, the two male peacocks became enemies. They had fought several times, big and small, in the past few days. Kongbi could clean up a lot of fallen feathers every day, which made Kongbi feel helpless.

Fortunately, they fought, but they didn’t kill each other. Huajiao was watching. If they fought too much, Huajiao would come over and knock them down. So everything was still within the controllable range, and Kong Bi didn’t interfere.

After completing the daily routine of petting peacocks, Kong Bi went back to the dormitory to sleep. Gathering beasts and training birds also consumes energy, so Kong Bi was much more tired than usual today. After taking a shower, she fell asleep immediately, and even the efficiency of receiving inheritance in her dreams was greatly reduced.

The next day, when the sun came to the world again, Kong Bi was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

“Hello?”

“Director Kong, it’s bad! The Spot-bellied eagle-owl has escaped!”

Kong Bi was startled and woke up immediately.
