Chapter 32 part 3

“Okay, go back.” Kong Bi patted Wang Tianba’s head.

“Guuu!”

Wang Tianba picked up the hare and flew out of the window with her wings flapping. The huge wings of nearly two meters made it look like a top predator from a distance.

At the same time, Kong Bi’s phone vibrated.

The task rewards that had been loading finally arrived.

【Standpoint: The monster has been successfully captured by you. Kill it or contain it.】

【Task completed】

【You have automatically joined the Su Shuang Great Saint’s faction】

【Due to bloodline attraction, your appeal to the monster under the Su Shuang Great Saint has greatly increased】

【The Su Shuang Great Saint’s inheritance has been unlocked for you】

【The Su Shuang Great Saint’s treasure vault has been added to the task reward pool】

Kong Bi blinked.

Among the monsters, those with great supernatural powers and supreme status are called ‘Great Saints.’ There is only one Great Saint per species, representing the highest combat power. Throughout history, there have been a total of eight Great Saints among bird monster, but in the human world, they all have a unified nickname—Phoenix.

Humans have a long-standing habit of naming new species they encounter, and the name Phoenix originated from this.

Many later hearsay descriptions of the Phoenix mention the names of these Great Saints: Su Shuang, You Chang, Chong Ming, Yuan Chu, Yue Zhuo… there are quite a few recorded, and just as many that are completely unrecorded. Because they are Great Saints of the monster, some have fiery tempers and dislike others chanting their honored names, so no records were left behind.

For demons at their level, they can sense it as long as someone leaves their name in the world. No one would risk their life to record it, because even if they did write it down, these beings would come and destroy it.

After all, the greater the reputation, the more one is burdened by it. Some Great Saints prefer to live as free spirits.

The Su Shuang Great Saint and their clan are also known as Qing Luan and Qing Niao in the outside world. They are considered relatively friendly to both humans and yokai. Their original species is unknown. After all, at their level, their original species would evolve towards their current form, so the original name is no longer important, as they take pride in the name Su Shuang.

However, they might be from the Falconidae family?

Kong Bi speculated so based on her own automatic joining of their camp.

After all, inheritance is based on bloodlines. Being able to receive the inheritance means there must be some connection, no matter how distant, even a third cousin three thousand times removed.

Of course, it’s also possible that all burd demon can receive the ‘Phoenix’ inheritance, just like how carp can become dragons, and snakes and turtles can too.

Kong Bi’s understanding of high-level knowledge in the monster world is limited, so she can’t speculate on this. She only knows that the path of cultivation for a Demon King is completely different from that of other demon. It’s not just about being powerful to be called a Demon King. After all, the ability to command animals of other species isn’t something that mere strength can achieve. Unfortunately, the inheritance information she’s received so far doesn’t explain this, leaving her completely in the dark.

She only knew that only the demon king had the opportunity to become the demon clan great saint, but she didn’t know why.

For now, thinking about these things is just worrying unnecessarily. She’s currently most concerned about the description of ‘significantly increased attraction to the demon under the Su Shuang Great Saint.’

From the inherited memories, Kong Bi knew that each Great Saint had many monsters seeking their protection. These monsters weren’t limited to avian species. After all, there were also conflicts among monsters, and some smaller monsters who had offended others chose to join the ranks of a different Great Saint far away. Therefore, there’s a significant overlap in the common monsters found under different Great Saints.

Under the command of an avian Great Saint, there might be tigers, bears, wolves, foxes, and even fish. Under a water-type Great Saint, there might also be monsters that completely dislike water and can’t swim.

So, how exactly does this ‘significantly increased attraction’ manifest?

Will it be like when she uses her ‘Gather Beasts and Summon Birds’ power, causing a beast tide to rush towards the zoo?

That would be terrifying…

Kong Bi couldn’t help but feel worried.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Kong Bi felt she was overthinking it. In this day and age, how many monsters are there left? Even if their bloodline is pulling them towards the zoo, how many of them would understand what that means?

Wang Tianba knows that it has no idea what its current state is, but the owl clan must have had monsters in the past, but there may not be monsters strong enough to engrave themselves into the blood and not be afraid of the erosion of time.

Generally speaking, the offspring born from monsters themselves have the highest bloodline concentration and receive the most inheritance. However, the inheritance received by the offspring of those children gradually weakens. As this process continues through generations, the bloodline eventually loses its special power, and becoming ordinary beasts is the inevitable fate of most monsters lineages.

In such cases, even if their ancestors had monster blood, they might not be able to sense the bloodline’s pull. Moreover, all the Great Saints didn’t appear at the same time. So, it’s possible that a species might have joined the ranks of one Great Saint in one era, and many years later, their descendants might join another Great Saint’s faction.

If the imprints within their bodies become too complex, these back-up plans might be completely ineffective. After all, the imprints left by each Great Saint are extremely domineering and highly exclusive.

So even though there is a saying among the monsters that if you join a monster king, you will be that monster king’s monster for life, there is no perfect magic in the world, and this method actually has loopholes.

Moreover, although there are so many monsters that rely on the Great Saints, most of them are just peripheral members with a nominal title. Only a few monsters have been personally conferred by the Great Saints.

Thinking about it this way, Kong Bi wasn’t so anxious anymore. She plugged her phone in to charge, turned around, and flopped onto the bed.

Sleep!

……

…………

The next day, the sun was scorching, and the construction team invited by Kong Bi was ready and had already started working.

Although the design drawings of the Peacock Garden have not yet come out, the demolition work can be done first. The old gate needs to be replaced, the idle dormitory building can also be demolished, and the walls are outdated now. There are many places that can be demolished, enough to wait for the designer to rush out the drawings of some important exhibition areas and buildings.

However, in addition to the Peacock Park, the designer has another job to design an owl enclosure. Kong Bi plans to change the large area of the Peacock Park into a bird area. In the future, new bird monsters will live there. The isolation zone in the middle will be separated by a forest, with netting within the forest, so that visitors won’t be able to see the isolation netting. A path for visitors will be created through the forest, making it easier for them to reach the next exhibit.

Greenery is an essential part of the exhibit area. Kong Bi’s requirement for the designer is to greenify every possible area. Although this will definitely attract mosquitoes, she doesn’t care. After all, Peacock Mountain is already a mosquito-prone area, and besides, those mosquitoes don’t bite her.

Today’s breakfast at the cafeteria included fried dough sticks and scallion pancakes with soy milk, specially made by Jiang Xiuli. After days of drinking porridge, Kong Bi immediately realized how wise her decision to hire a chef was.

This made her order several dishes and happily start eating.

Before she finished eating, Li Xiangdong sat down with a plate:

“Director Kong, why don’t you lock the gate? Wang Tianba opened the door and went out to eat again yesterday. How can she bear this weight!”

Everyone was still very concerned about Wang Tianba’s excessive eating. Her appetite was really abnormal. Her behavior on the first night of her arrival at the zoo could be said to be due to hunger. But yesterday they fed it twice the amount of food for an eagle owl. In this case, she ran out to catch a rabbit and brought it back, which really worried everyone.

Animals don’t know the importance of things. They always know that if they close the door, they can slowly reduce the amount of food they feed, so that Wang Tianba’s weight can return to normal.

Kong Bi did not think they were meddling in other people’s business, and patiently explained: “Actually, Tianba did not steal the food. She brought the rabbit to me yesterday. I did not eat it, so she took it back.”

Li Xiangdong was stunned for a moment: “Is it for you?”

Kong Bi said innocently: “I did not expect it to be addicted to feeding, but I did not take it twice. It should know that I would not eat it and would not give it to me later, right?”

Li Xiangdong thought about it in this direction and replied: “Not necessarily. Many birds are very stubborn. It is very likely that it will change the species to give.”

Kong Bi was stunned for a moment.

Li Xiangdong continued: “It is better to lock the door. It will be bad if it flies around every day and gets infected by bacteria.”

Kong Bi gnawed the dough sticks silently, and could not respond to this. Neither Wang Tianba nor Huajiao took their wounds seriously. Only humans would be nervous because of this. They usually use their wings and do not care whether the wounds are torn again. Anyway, with the recovery ability of monsters, these wounds are almost the same as scratches.

However, she couldn’t explain it. Anyway, she estimated that very soon, everyone would go from begging Wang Tianba not to eat anymore to begging it to take another bite, because monsters don’t eat when they’re breaking through to a higher level.

But she wouldn’t stop the experts from doing anything as long as it wasn’t too outrageous, because she really needed these experts.

With their endorsement, some obviously ‘strange’ animals could stay here more easily, and with their status, some bad demons and monsters wouldn’t even dare to show up

…

Things didn’t go beyond Kong Bi’s expectations. In less than three days, Wang Tianba had digested the insights brought by the nameless feather and launched an offensive to evolve.

Li Xiangdong, covered in tree bark, extended a fishing rod with a white mouse tied to it, and became anxious:

“Why isn’t it eating?! Can it even recognize me like this?!”
