Chapter 430: The Green-Feathered Wind Falcon
"Though a bit on the plumper side, your strength ranks near the top among your kind," Lu Xuan adjusted his mood, speaking to comfort the fat bird.
"Moreover, your current physique is the result of the sumptuous meals you've enjoyed. Other Wind Falcons hardly get the chance to indulge as you do!"
He pinched the Wind Falcon's soft belly, creating ripples of pale green waves.
"Really?" The fat bird cocked its head, a hint of doubt in its tiny eyes.
"Absolutely. Would I lie to you? Consider the high-quality spiritual fruits like Flame Fruit, Ice Gourd Fruit, Jade Scale Fruit, and Enchanting Spirit Peaches, not to mention the rare and exquisite Hundred-Fruit Spirit Juice I personally brewed."
"And the succulent grilled demonic beast meat, the spicy and flavorful stir-fried demonic beast meat, the tender and juicy steamed demonic beast meat that melts in your mouth without being greasy..."
Lu Xuan counted off on his fingers, speaking slowly.
The more he spoke, the more lost in thought the Wind Falcon became, reminiscing about the various cooking methods for demonic beast meat. Its round belly contracted rhythmically, involuntarily drooling a little.
"Come on, let's go. I'll make you your favorite grilled demonic beast meat right now," Lu Xuan said, seeing the fat bird's attention diverted and promptly suggested.
Half an hour later, the Wind Falcon, along with the other spiritual beasts in the cave dwelling, feasted on large chunks of delicious meat, immersed in the flavors.
"I should take the opportunity to follow the Wind Falcon out and see for myself what has been stirring these unusual thoughts," Lu Xuan thought to himself, looking down at the beasts.
The next day, as he inspected the spiritual fields and nurtured the spiritual plants, he kept a close watch on the Wind Falcon. When he noticed it leaving the cave dwelling, his Azure Stride Shoes glowed with spiritual light as he executed the Floating Light Body Technique, closely following behind the fat bird.
Unaware of Lu Xuan's presence behind it, the Wind Falcon weaved through the mountains, occasionally letting out crisp chirps, allowing Lu Xuan to sense its eagerness.
Moments later, the fat bird stopped in a valley, pacing back and forth as if nervous.
After a few breaths, it mustered the courage to enter the valley.
Lu Xuan, concealing his aura, followed closely.
"Your praise is too kind, Fellow Daoist Lu. My modest achievements pale in comparison to your expertise in cultivating spiritual plants," Guo Ping replied sincerely.
Lu Xuan, despite rarely exploring secret realms or extensively interacting with fellow sect members, had become well-known within the Sky Sword Sect for his achievements in spiritual plant cultivation.
"Junior Brother Guo, it seems my Wind Falcon has developed a special fondness for your variant Wind Falcon. What are your thoughts?" Lu Xuan broached the subject, resembling a parent exchanging information during a matchmaking session.
"My Wind Falcon may be plump, but it matches your third-grade variant Wind Falcon in rank," Lu Xuan stated.
"Although its appearance may not be outstanding, its strength is sufficient," Guo Ping interpreted Lu Xuan's words in his mind.
"Its bloodline was originally second-grade, but it unexpectedly broke through to the third-grade."
"Possibly limited potential," Guo Ping continued his mental translation.
"It has even hatched two spiritual beasts before," Lu Xuan briefly mentioned the Wind Falcon's experience of hatching a Fire Flood Dragon and a Rock Shell Turtle.
"So, it's a case of 'pregnant before marriage'..." Guo Ping sighed inwardly, labeling the fat bird with several tags.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, personally, I have no objections to the two spiritual beasts interacting. However, what matters most is their feelings for each other. If they are willing to try being together, that would be wonderful. But if there's no mutual attraction, such matters cannot be forced. What do you think?" he tactfully declined.
"Junior Brother Guo makes a good point," Lu Xuan acknowledged the implied rejection in his words and nodded in agreement.
"Then, let's see if fate brings the two beasts together."
With that, Lu Xuan left after a brief conversation, smiling as he bid farewell to the naive young man.
Returning to his cave dwelling, he waited a long time before the Wind Falcon finally returned to the mountain, still appearing dejected.
"Back already? How was it? Did you face any difficulties?" Lu Xuan inquired with concern.
