Lou Xiaoyi only knew one thing about peacocks from his previous world. Male peacocks were very beautiful when they spread their tails, but female peacocks were ordinary. He wondered if this knowledge was suitable for this Cultivation World.
Da Cui swayed its butt in front. It could be seen that the food in the Peacock Palace was very good, but the training was obviously not enough. Under Da Cui's slow guidance, the group arrived in front of a very strange building.
This was a group of palaces that resembled the World Tree. The main trunk was filled with small pavilions, like small mushrooms growing on a big tree. Each pavilion was not big, only a few hundred feet in radius, but it was enough for the group.
This was the resting place arranged by the Peacock Palace for guests who came from afar. There were no Kingfisher servants, and of course, it was impossible for a peacock to accompany them and greet them at any time. Peacocks inherited their higher race, and they had the same arrogance and indifference as phoenixes. They would not lower themselves to serve humans.
There were already people in the pavilions. Perhaps Huang Tao was familiar with them, but Lou Xiaoyi did not recognize them at all. He could not even tell which of these cultivators came from the Western Regions and which came from the Southeast or Erhai.
Xuanyuan's group randomly found an empty pavilion. This pavilion only had a base and a roof, and there were a few pillars. It did not block the wind or rain, but it was good for a wide view.
Lou Xiaoyi could tell that the master would not entertain them. This was a group of people who were more arrogant than Xuanyuan.
They came three days early, and it was still earlier than the time set by the Peacock Palace. This was the unanimous request of everyone. Since they were here, of course they had to take a good look at the Peacock Palace and see the legendary Peacock Goddess. They did not really want to do anything, but they wanted to satisfy the unique curiosity of humans.
This was the reason why Huang Tao came three days early. Otherwise, with his old-fashioned temper, he would have wanted to come on the day of the event. Looking at the curious disciples flying to various places in the Peacock Palace, Huang Tao snorted.
That's right, the Peacock Palace was a place that did not prevent cultivators from visiting as they wished. However, it was extremely difficult to meet a peacock, unless the peacock race was willing to meet you!
There were less than a hundred peacocks in the Peacock Palace, and most of them were Jin Dan cultivators and above. There were dozens of Yuanying cultivators, and there were quite a few Monarchs as well. If a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to see the true face of the peacocks, it would be practically impossible until the event began!
Everyone formed their own groups. Lou Xiaoyi naturally went with his Senior Sister Smoky. As for Smoky Wave, he finally seized the opportunity to interact with Senior Brother Guang Ming. He had countless cultivation problems, so of course he would choose to be an Inner Sword follower.
Seeing that Lou Xiaoyi had been looking around, Yan Chang was very unhappy. She was speechless. This guy always showed his impatience very clearly, as if he was afraid that no one would know. He did not have the demeanor of a Senior Brother at all. He was perfect to be her little follower!
"Little Yi, watch where you're going. You're going to crash into a pillar!" She said sarcastically.
Lou Xiaoyi's counterattack was sharp. "Senior Sister, don't think that I'm doing this for myself! I'm the grand Xuanyuan Foundation Establishment Eldest Senior Brother. How could I be so lacking in inner qualities?
I did it all for you! Let's find a male peacock and have him spread his feathers for you … "
None of the palaces in the Peacock Palace had walls! Of course, there were no doors or windows. There were only foundations, roofs, and pillars!
Lou Xiaoyi could understand that this was the nature of freedom of birds. As long as they had wings, there was no creature that would be willing to submit itself to a human's building! If it were him, he would not be willing either. It was like a bird that was raised in a cage. How could it be happy?
Because it could go anywhere, it could not see anything!
He could only see many different types of birds, all of them competing in beauty. They could all talk and communicate. He knew that there must be peacocks among them, but he could not distinguish them. Perhaps he could tell when his cultivation level was higher, but not now.
A flock of birds flew over. There were geese, kingfishers, pelicans, grey gulls, and so on. There were also many that he could not name. They were chattering in a language that humans could not understand. Lou Xiaoyi stared at them. Even though they had already flown past, he still did not let go.
Yan Chang felt a little ashamed. She realized that walking together with this person really required courage.
"Lou Xiaoyi! Why are you staring at those bird butts?! "
Lou Xiaoyi was very innocent. "Staring is against the law? There are still things that we like to eat in the dome! So what you're saying is that we should be struck by lightning? "
Yan Chang was speechless. She could not bicker, but some things had to be made clear!
"That's cooked food! It's two different things! They're raw and alive. It's inappropriate for you to look at them like that. It's offensive to public decency … "
Lou Xiaoyi snorted. "Offensive to public decency? They were the ones that flew past me without wearing any underwear! According to what you're saying, when I travel the continent in the future, I can't open my eyes when I see a demonic beast? The moment I do, I'll be dragged to the Discipline Hall to be beaten because I looked at something I shouldn't have … "
Yan Chang was so angry that she turned around and left. Lou Xiaoyi chuckled as he followed.
"Senior Sister, have you seen a peacock in the real world? What do you think is the difference between the peacock race and the peacocks of the mortal world? I just want to see the feathers on their tails and see if they can be opened … "
Time passed slowly as Lou Xiaoyi teased her. He was not a shallow person, nor was he born to be a tease. When his cultivation level increased, he actually had his own demeanor.
However, he wanted to help Senior Sister walk out of the painful shadow of her best friend's death. Yes, Smoky Puppet thought that Shui Yilan had died in her hands. Oh no, it should be said that Shui Yilan had died in her mouth. If she had not shouted, who knows how long this unlucky Lou Xiaoyi would have dawdled.
She could not understand this kind of person. He coveted other people's wives from the bottom of his heart, but when she shouted, he did not hesitate to fly away with his sword …
So she had been blaming herself. This kind of state was very inappropriate for a Swordsman! However, she was only in the Building Foundation Stage and had just left the mortal world. It was normal for her to be troubled by friendship. She still had a long way to go if she wanted to treat life as nothing and not be disturbed in the slightest!
Lou Xiaoyi saw this point, so he shamelessly found some topics to divert her thoughts. As a friend, he was a very considerate man. Unfortunately, people who did not really know him would not understand.
He hoped that Yan Chang could return to the carefree and carefree state of a female Swordsman. More importantly, there were fewer and fewer friends on the path of cultivation. He hoped that the limited number of friends would not fall behind. Otherwise, he would not be able to find someone who would be in the mood to chat with him in the future.
As he walked further and further on the path of cultivation, those childish thoughts he once had slowly faded away. People always had to grow up. When they were children, they had their own thoughts. When they were young, they had their own dreams. When they were young, they would have their own thoughts. Who could stay the same forever?
