Chapter 72: Peacock the Sparring Partner

“Ah, don’t peck, don’t peck, I won’t call you a pheasant again!”

Xiong Ji was unable to resist. His hands and shoulders were filled with peck marks. Even though his skin was rough, and his flesh was thick, there were some places where blood seeped out.

The most miserable part was Xiong Ji’s face. It was a bloody mess, and one couldn’t even see his facial features. Although the wounds weren’t deep, they were densely packed together and looked very frightening. It looked really painful.

“So you really thought I am a wild chicken then, you stupid idiot!” Kong Li was still angry after hearing what Xiong Ji said. He scratched Xiong Ji’s hair with his claws, and the pain made Xiong Ji suck in a deep breath.

A gentleman could be killed but not humiliated. Xiong Ji decided to fight back and directly used his spiritual power, wanting to beat Kong Li down.

However, his spiritual power was directly hit back! Xiong Ji jumped to the side with one leg, and that ball of spiritual power brushed past his ear and hit the ground. A hole that could bury him instantly exploded on the ground.

“Ha, you think you can use your spiritual power to attack me? Today, I will be kind enough to teach you how to be a nice-behaved beast.” Kong Li snorted coldly. He flapped his wings and flew into the air. He spat out a fireball of spiritual power at Xiong Ji. Xiong Ji was hit, and his hair became messy like an afro hairstyle.

Xiong Ji opened his mouth, and a puff of thick smoke drifted out.

“Hahahahahahaha!” Jiang Yun had no moral integrity at all as he laughed even more happily. He received Xiong Ji’s sorrowful gaze, “Master, you are so cruel.”

Yu Sisi saw that Xiong Ji could not beat that pheasant, and it seemed like she could not beat it either. When Kong Li counterattacked, she felt the pressure, “This pheasant was actually a magical beast above the Dharma Realm.”

“Master, it’s bullying me!” Xiong Ji took the opportunity when Kong Li left the top of his head and ran behind Jiang Yun in a flash. He grabbed onto Jiang Yun’s clothes and acted coquettishly.

Jiang Yun couldn’t hold it in any longer and finally stopped laughing. He cleared his throat and mercilessly pushed away the palm that Xiong Ji was holding onto his foot robe.

“Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Kong Li, the peacock?”

Kong Li, who had been introduced, stood on the grass and proudly shook his feathers, his head held high.

Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji thought to themselves, “So this is what a peacock looks like? It’s too, it’s too ugly.”

Yu Sisi looked at Kong Li, who was bathed in the golden noon sunlight, and was greatly shocked. He was clearly so ugly, yet he was still so confident. This… was this a peacock?

“This peacock looks, quiet, quite unique.” Xiong Ji blurted out subconsciously. When he received Kong Li’s cold gaze, he forcefully changed the word “ugly” that he was about to blurt out to “Quite unique.”.

The peacock was a little bit irritated. He felt that this bear was mocking him, but he had no evidence. Forget it, he was a kind person and open-minded prince, he would forgive them today.

Kong Li took small steps. Under the astonished gazes of Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji, he started to peck at the jujube tree bark.

“Duh duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh duh…”

This voice was quite rhythmic. The three of them stared at Kong Li. Kong Li was uncomfortable under their gazes, so he turned his head to look at them.

“What is it?” Kong Li asked unhappily, his eyes focused on Xiong Ji, whose face was like the bottom of a pot.

Xiong Ji quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Kong Li anymore. He was afraid that his master wouldn’t protect him if he was beaten again.

“From now on, you’ll peck at them for six hours every day.” Jiang Yun said to Kong Li. This was the special training for the two of them during this period of time. When they could dodge Kong Li’s attack, it would be easy for them to break through to the Psychic Realm.

“Why? I’m not doing it just because you told me so!”

Kong Li was not convinced. It was this strange human in front of him who had beaten him so badly and he was still trapped here.

A few days ago, he was going to rest at night. This man shook him up and said that He Zhao’s companions had come. They had been killed, but they would come again.

Kong Li ran out to take a look. There was nothing at all. He felt that Jiang Yun was just bullying him. He was just a pure little peacock.

Humph, he did not want to listen to Jiang Yun.

“Do as I say. One spirit date fruit every ten days.” Jiang Yun made an offer.

“Deal!” Kong Li immediately agreed as if what he just said before was a lie.

Jiang Yun nodded in agreement. He turned around and returned to his attic in the lotus pond to observe from afar.

Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji were in disbelief when they heard Jiang Yun ask Kong Li to peck them every day. What did they do wrong?

At firstr, when Kong Li rejected them arrogantly, they felt that this peacock was indeed not bad looking. Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Kong Li agreed with Jiang Yun’s term by receiving a spirit date fruit every ten days, their faces turned pale.

Yu Sisi looked at Xiong Ji’s disfigured face and started to feel pain in her own face.

Xiong Ji felt even more hopeless. So, today was just the beginning?

Kong Li was very contractual. Since he had already made an agreement with Jiang Yun, he would do it. After all, he liked the content of this job.

He had yet to forgive the two of them for being rude to him previously. Now was the perfect time to take revenge for a personal grudge.

Kong Li looked at the jujube tree and then at the two dejected people. He decided to start now. He tilted his head. “It’s six hours from now until sunset.”

“But you just pecked me! Why don’t we start again tomorrow?”

Xiong Ji humbly begged. Perhaps his master would change his mind tomorrow. Yu Sisi nodded non-stop at the side, her face full of anticipation.

“Oh, I see.” Kong Li looked at the two people who had mocked his appearance earlier and stood there obediently and cowardly. A smile appeared on his face, and he squinted while thinking.

“Let’s start now!” as soon as Kong Li finished speaking, he flapped his featherless wings and rushed towards the two people.

“Oh my God!” The two people were startled by the peacock’s sudden change of expression and heard his words clearly. Their scalps went numb, and they turned around to run.

However, how could two people in the Dharma Realm escape from a peacock in the Spirit King Realm? In the blink of an eye, they were caught up and pecked until their heads were covered.

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Mr. Kong Li, I know I’m wrong. I shouldn’t have called you a pheasant!” Xiong Ji’s buttocks were pecked. As he covered his buttocks to escape, he turned around to flatter Kong Li. All he wanted was Kong Li would be easy on him. He couldn’t take it anymore.

“I won’t call you ugly anymore. It’s true. You look handsome. You don’t look like a pheasant at all.” Yu Sisi was sent flying in the air by a wing. She was extremely terrified.

Kong Li was unmoved. Although he was a little silly, he could still be serious and reliable at serious matters.

Now that he was seriously injured and trapped, he had exhausted all of his energy to transform into human form. He needed spirit herbs and immortal herbs. However, he searched everywhere he could, but there was nothing.

There was nothing filled with spiritual energy for him to eat, but the air was filled with surging spiritual energy. The only thing he could eat to heal his injuries was the jujube bark. He couldn’t even touch the jujube.

Now that he finally could obtain a spirit herb that could heal his injuries, he wasn’t stupid enough to push it out. At the same time, he felt that these two brats were really ungrateful.

“This Jiang Yun clearly wanted me to be a sparring partner for these two weak disciples. However, these two brats only knew how to cry and shout in pain. They didn’t have any guts at all.” Kong Li complained in his heart.

As he thought about it, Kong Li had a subtle feeling in his heart. Why was this Jiang Yun so good to these two useless disciples of his? Since he didn’t have anything, he pecked even harder. The two poor disciples were chased around, unable to retaliate Kong Li.
