At the Peacock Mountain.

  The mountain was not originally called Peacock Mountain.

  However, ever since Peacock Saintess lived there, it was renamed the Peacock Mountain.

  The mountain did not look like what it used to be. The Peacock Saintess ordered the Demons to renovate the area. They connected the hills so it looked like a laid Peacock from afar. It was regal and beautiful.

  The mountain was very recognizable. Peacock Saintess was a show-off. Therefore, the place was extremely famous, too.

  Meanwhile, in the mountains.

  A Five-Color Sacred Light shined. Immortal powers circled at the center of the light. Spiritual Qi was misty and floating in the air. It looked like a paradise.

  A hill appeared amongst the green trees and thick bushes.

  Streams and waterfalls splashed in the mountain.

  A woman in five-colored clothing sat on a throne in a pavilion near the bridge and the river’s stream. She was sitting in a position where she was half laying down on her side.

  Her nails were long and pure gold. Her eyelids had a layer of golden eyeshadow. She also had winged red eyeliner. She emitted regal vibes from top to bottom. At the same time, she was perfectly lazy.

  She closed her eyes and rested.

  Her throne was piled with various treasures, mostly Wuhang Spiritual Items. They were glimmering with her iridescent light. The light in the mountain kept shifting like a LED light in a bar. It shifted rhythmically.

  Insects and birds chirped in the mountain. All sorts of animals stood amongst the trees and flowers. They stood in a row and sang in an orderly manner.

  They were clearly trained. They stayed in rhythm and created wonderful music in the mountains.

  It was not hard to tell that the Peacock Saintess placed importance on the quality of life.

  Peacock Saintess was very satisfied with her lifestyle. She was considering changing her title to Peacock Queen because Peacock Saintess was not fancy enough.

  Suddenly, several figures moved in the air. They finally landed on top of the clouds. They observed the situation from above. “This is the place.”


  The Peacock Saintess was enjoying the music. She felt interrupted. She opened her eyes with distaste and looked up.

  The Jade Emperor saluted, “Greetings to the Peacock Saintess.”


  “Jade Emperor and Empress?”


  Peacock Saintess was startled. She frowned and asked, “May I know why you’re here?”


  She had memories before she reincarnated into the Peacock Saintess. She was just a Taiyi Golden Immortal but she was not afraid of the Jade Emperor and Empress.

  The Empress said, “Actually… We came here to ask you something. It’s related to a golden opportunity for you, Peacock Saintess. You must take this seriously.”


  ‘Golden opportunity?’


  The Peacock Saintess noticed that they were being serious. She was instantly curious. She loved magical and iridescent items, especially Wuhang Treasures. She asked excitedly, “What is it? Feel free to tell me.”


  The Empress asked, “Can you lay eggs, Peacock Saintess?”


  Peacock Saintess was baffled. She thought she misheard it. She asked in a low voice, “What do you mean?”


  The Jade Emperor explained, “Don’t misunderstand, Peacock Saintess. We mean no harm. But… The expert’s looking for someone to lay eggs for him. We’re trying to help you earn this position. It’s a huge opportunity for you!”


  “Help me? To lay eggs for somebody else? A huge opportunity?”


  Peacock Saintess trembled from the insult. She was enraged. She asked with a cold expression, “Are you insulting me?!”


  She would have fought them if she could.

  She was the Peacock Saintess, the only peacock left in the realm. She was born a national treasure. The Peacock Saintess placed importance on her image and reputation. She had never felt so insulted before.

  She scoffed angrily, “Go away, farewell!”


  “Why are we wasting our time on her? The expert’s waiting. We can’t delay it any longer. Just grab her!”


  Yang Jing was expressionless. His cape blew behind him as he flew toward the Peacock Saintess with his weapon.

  “You guys are bullying me! I will fight you!”


  Peacock Saintess was flushed. Her Demon powers were activated. Her clothes shined and fanned out like a Peacock Tail. Five-Color Sacred Light shined blindingly at Yang Jing!

  Her eyes were widened. She hyped herself up. “Don’t come near me! Die, die!”


  However, she was a weaker cultivator. Her Five-Color Sacred Light was not as strong. Yang Jing was much stronger than she was. She could not stop Yang Jing at all.

  Yang Jing waved his hand and out came the Demon Capture Rope. The rope tangled around Peacock Saintess like a snake.

  Yang Jing cast a spell. The Demon Capture Rope glimmered. Peacock Saintess instantly jolted and returned to her original form.

  She became a green peacock. She had four other colors on her. There were flaming red feathers at the corner of her eyes. She was glorious even before fanning her tail.

  “Let me go. Let me cultivate for another million years. We can battle by then!”


  Peacock Saintess struggled. She screamed, “Why did you capture me? Let me go, let me go now!”


  The Jade Emperor and the others acted like they did not hear anything. They dragged Peacock Saintess toward the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

  She started to whine once she realized it was not working, “Jade Emperor, Empress, the Peacocks have always played nice. We haven’t crossed you, right? I’m only thirty thousand years old. I’m still young. Let me go. Boohoo.”


  The Peacock King, Kong Xuan, was famous for being a neutral pacifist. He had not killed anyone innocent.

  The Jade Emperor explained, “Peacock Saintess, we mean no harm. Don’t you worry, all you have to do is lay eggs every day. You’ll receive huge blessings. It’s a dream job for countless people. They’ll envy you!”


  Peacock Saintess was pissed. “Nah! Lay eggs?! Go lay eggs yourself! I’m the prestigious Peacock Saintess. I’d die before being insulted like that!”


  The Jade Emperor said, “I want to lay eggs but I don’t know how. Otherwise, how would I let you have this opportunity?”


  The Empress exclaimed, “Stop chatting with her. Seal her voice. Don’t let her disrupt the expert!”


  They were instantly quiet. They hurried to the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

  They walked on the mountain path and soon arrived at the four-part architecture. The door of the four-part architecture was opened because they were expected.

  The Jade Emperor and the others slowed down at the same time. Then, they carefully entered the four-part architecture.

  They greeted, “Lord Saint, we’re here.”


  “Yo, you arrived. Welcome!”


  Li Nianfan instantly smiled. He welcomed them, “Sit. Have a seat.”


  The Jade Emperor and the others saw Goddess Nuwa with her fruit juice. They were immediately startled. They hurriedly bowed and greeted, “Greetings to Goddess Nuwa.”


  Goddess Nuwa waved it off. She smiled, “Long time no see. No need to be courteous.”


  Goddess Nuwa and Li Nianfan both secretly sighed in relief.

  Li Nianfan felt like it was easier to talk to Goddess Nuwa with the Jade Emperor around.

  Goddess Nuwa felt the same way. She was not used to how things work around the expert. She was in desperate need of guidance. She needed someone familiar to explain things to her.

  The vibes in the four-part architecture were instantly much less awkward.

  However… There was a Peacock.

  She struggled until the moment she entered the four-part architecture. She immediately froze. Her feathers were ruffled and her eyes were wide with amazement.

  ‘What’s this feeling?

  ‘I feel like a low-class being that just stepped into a high-class place. I’ve never seen such an awesome place. I can’t believe it.

  ‘I’m not prepared for this. How can my little heart endure it?’


  She always felt like she was a regal being. She collected a lot of rare treasures. She renovated Peacock Mountain into a high-class paradise. However, the mountain was a pile of turds compared to the four-part architecture!

  Peacock Saintess looked around and observed the place. She realized she could not figure anything out. Everything in the four-part architecture was beyond her recognition. Even the air she breathed was some type of extraordinary Spiritual Qi.

  ‘What’s this paradise? This is too much!’


  She tried her best to control herself but she was still quivering. She was shocked and terrified. She had a complete mental breakdown.

  Then, she finally saw the Firefinches. There were a bunch of round Firefinch Eggs next to their nest.

  More importantly… The Firefinches were also Taiyi Golden Immortals!

  ‘What’s going on?

  ‘No way. I have competition for laying eggs?

  ‘What should I do?’


  Peacock Saintess was flustered. She felt someone choking her neck. Then, she realized she was being lifted up by the neck.

  ‘The bigshot lifted me up! The bigshot lifted me up!

  ‘What should I do?’


  Peacock Saintess was petrified. She almost passed out. That was the most unforgettable day she ever had.

  “You guys are too courteous. Why did you bring a gift when I invited you?”


  Li Nianfan looked at the peacock. He smiled and said, “Wow. This peacock’s so beautiful. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.”


  ‘The peacock will be a beautiful addition to the backyard.’


  The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “We found it on the way here so we captured it. As long as you like it, Lord Saint.”


  “It seems to be very nervous? So cowardly.”


  Li Nianfan felt the peacock trembling in his hand. It looked terrified, too. It had tears in its eyes and did not dare to move.

  “Don’t be scared. Relax.”


  Li Nianfan brushed her feathers and comforted her.

  Suddenly, he stopped. He slowly pulled his hand away from the peacock.

  There was a shiny egg in his hand.

  “Damn. So surprising. This peacock can lay eggs.”
