Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Boss, please don’t send me away!" Dong Tianleng pleaded, "I had no choice! My family sent it to me, what could I do? Please give me a chance!"

"You can f*ck off, along with your bird!"

Yun Yang said nothing more, adamantly ordering his guest to leave.

Why did you bring this thing into my home? Are you doing to move a few decaying carcasses here to feed the bird next?

Dong Tianleng’s family experts were also speechless about the situation.

What was his family thinking of, sending this over? Which family could be this classless and do such a tasteless thing, to pick up a Phantom Vulture and cultivate it?

It was obvious that Dong Tianleng had bought an egg after being conned when he was strolling along the mystical beast market out of boredom; a Phantom Vulture had hatched from the egg yet this scoundrel had insisted on showing it to Yun Yang and try his luck…

It had nothing to do with his family.

Can you not damage our family’s reputation?

Dong Tianleng pulled a long face and threw the baby Phantom Vulture on the ground. "I knew this fellow was an ill omen! I\'d better go wash my hands quickly!"

The Phantom Vulture nestling in his palm stumbled upon being thrown harshly to the ground. Squeaking, its small beady eyes turned around suddenly, its feet moved as it charged forward and hugged Yun Yang’s legs.

"…"

Before Yun Yang could blow his top, he found himself being hugged by the baby Phantom Vulture. His exasperation grew even stronger.

I asked you to throw it out! Not in my home!

Great, now this disgusting little Phantom Vulture thinks of me as its owner.

Wait… didn’t this hatched nestling move too fast? An adult Phantom Vulture flies swiftly, but this thing was waddling on the ground!

Yun Yang was stumped by the current situation. He winced as the fledging crawled up his foot and laid down comfortably on his instep.

Yun Yang’s revulsion grew. The creature was abominable, it was considered the dirtiest mystical beast in the world. He lifted his foot up to chase it off, wondering if he should just stomp on it since it was so repulsive. It was worse than stepping on dog sheet…

"Ayaya?" Emmie, in his deific consciousness, was trying to deliver a message.

Yun Yang blinked in confusion.

He shockingly realized that a flow of air of vitality was being delivered into this tiny Phantom Vulture.

Was Emmie giving air of vitality out of its own will? What? Since when did this stingy rascal become so generous?

The tiny nestling cried out in delight, its spirit lifted as its bare wings flapped softly.

"What? Emmie, why are you so generous this time?"

"Ayaya…"

"This isn’t a Phantom Vulture?"

"Ayaya…"

Yun Yang watched the small offspring at his foot closely.

Was this tiny thing not a Phantom Vulture? It looked exactly like it was, though.

Dong Tianleng had retrieved this little critter from within his robes. Even if the fledging’s poison was mild, Dong Tianleng did not seem affected by it when he had kept it in his pockets.

Yun Yang thought of another peculiarity immediately.

"Alright, it\'s still a life form." Yun Yang\'s acting skills kicked in at once and he sighed, "Lao Mei, take it in."

The experts of the noble families were puzzled by Yun Yang’s reaction.

The Phantom Vulture was one of the mystical beasts that were confirmed to not conform to domestication since ancient times. With its ugly image, it lost its qualification to be even a pet for admiration. What was more, it would not eat anything other than decaying carcasses. What was the use of keeping it?

The thinking of these secular young masters was mind-boggling. He was just disgusted to no end just now, why was he so compassionate all of a sudden?

"The Residence of Yun is spacious and each of you needs to watch over your own mystical beast as well as making sure they get what they need. You may stay here temporarily."

Yun Yang said, "We can arrange it now and divide the yard into four. All of us will be together and it can avoid any unwanted complications or miscommunication."

Everyone easily agreed with his suggestion, more than happy to oblige.

The four families were still worrying that their mystical beasts would become Yun Yang’s as the training went on; that would be tricky. Now that they could watch over the beasts here, such qualms were immediately quashed.

The Residence of Heavenly Clouds was naturally gigantic. Not only was there the central atrium, there were four courts at the east, south, west, and north wings.

As the marquis of nation’s keeper, the residence surpassed those of the common officials. There was no one else here aside from Yun Yang, Lao Mei, Fang Mofei, and Bai Yixue; the spacious Residence of Yun had more than an eighth of its rooms empty.

Now, the Spring and Summer Family stayed at the guestrooms on the west while the Autumn and Winter Family stayed at the southern guestrooms. Yun Yang himself had moved to the central atrium reserved for Marquis Yun while the small yard he had been residing in at the north side was now being occupied by Ji Lingxi, Yue Rulan, and the four handmaidens.

The normally quiet Residence of Yun was currently filled with a boatload of people.

After everyone had been assigned their temporary places, Yun Yang went back to his room, pleading the need to rest. Of course, he brought the abhorrent Phantom Vulture along with him.

What was urgent now was to identify the real nature of this abomination. There was a saying about a toad being harmless sitting on one’s foot but one would still feel deplorable about it.

If it were not for Emmie’s little intervention, this little critter might have become mush after being forcefully thrown away by Yun Yang! Naturally, the little critter had no idea how repulsive it was. Once Yun Yang called for it, it followed along with a happy bounce in its steps.

No matter how one saw it, it did not look anything like its quivering form when it made its initial appearance. It was unknown whether it was Yun Yang’s summons that was effective or Emmie’s air of vitality that provided energy; it might be Yun Yang as the little critter turned ecstatic and rushed over once it saw him.

"Emmie, explain yourself." Yun Yang asked.

"Ayaya…" Emmie’s tendrils extended and waved about.

"Are you saying this isn’t a Phantom Vulture? What is it then?"

Yun Yang was stunned.

According to Emmie, this creature was absolutely not a Phantom Vulture; it belonged to another rare and majestic breed. No matter how Yun Yang looked at it though, he felt that it was a Phantom Vulture. It looked revolting enough to be one, there was no doubt about that.

Since Emmie had never missed up to now, Yun Yang suppressed his disgust and held the little fella in his palm to study it closely.

The little critter observed Yun Yang with its beady eyes at the same time.

This eyes, nose, mouth and overall look… it was obviously a Phantom Vulture. There was no difference, this was the picture painted of all descriptions about the reprehensible creature.

If one were to forcefully find some sort of variation… well, one had to admit that this little thing seemed to not have the putridity that a Phantom Vulture was born with.

Yun Yang recalled suddenly that one of the main reasons the Phantom Vulture was considered the dirtiest and most disgusting flying mystical beast in this world was because it had an indescribably pungent smell once it hatched.

No man or creature could withstand the pungent smell during that phase.

Perhaps the Phantom Vulture fledging was abandoned by its mother upon hatching due to the unbearable rancidness.

Yun Yang could understand if it was so, though. Imagine a pair of Phantom Vultures guarding their egg to hatch in excitement, waiting to have a beautiful baby… yet what came out was an ugly child!

It was alright if it were just an ugly child, but this ugly child had the most horrible and foul smell that was capable of rendering death if inhaled in too large a quantity.

Imagine having to endure such a foul smell and taking care of the child until it turned into an adult bird. How long would that need? The parents would have died from the pungent smell within that long period of time.

If it had been human, the husband and wife would have exclaimed "F*ck me! Did I give birth to this?" instantly before fleeing with covered noses.

He absolutely understood the birds for abandoning their offspring!

Thinking of it, Yun Yang suddenly got carried away, "Could it be that I was abandoned because I was smelly when I was born?"

He laughed at the absurd scenario - it was impossible!

He was so handsome! How could there be a time when he was smelly all over? It was impossible, he should not even be thinking such meaningless thoughts.

As for this little critter in front of him, not only did it not reek of putridity, it had a faint smell of milk.

Yun Yang mused while observing it. Now that he realized this little thing might not be a Phantom Vulture, it was easier to spot the differences. Upon meticulous study, he continued to find characteristics that were distinct from a Phantom Vulture baby.

According to what the tales told, a Phantom Vulture’s talons had four digits but it was not so with this one. Its talons only had three digits each but it was very stable while stepping on the floor. Besides, Yun Yang found a faint white trail above its head that extended from the back of its head all the way down to its tail. Did the Phantom Vulture have such a feature?

"What breed of creature is this? You don\'t know?" Yun Yang was stumped. "Then why the reaction just now?"

Emmie\'s ensuing answer was shocking enough to floor Yun Yang totally.

"What? Are you saying that this little fellow has the aura of the divine phoenix’s blood? Really?"

Yun Yang was stupefied by Emmie’s answer.

The divine phoenix?

How could this be possible?

The phoenix and dragon had always been mythical beasts of legend, sacred beasts of yore.

They only existed in myths; no one had really seen them and no one could be sure if these two mythical creatures really existed in this world. Mystical beasts that had the blood of these mythical creatures were rare and much sought after.

Now, Emmie could actually sense that there was the phoenix’s blood in this ugly little child!

Yun Yang was confounded.

Could Dong Tianleng be that lucky?
