Immortal Father
Chapter 1263: 451 Feng Wu Guard

Chapter 1263: Chapter 451 Feng Wu Guard

Li Ping’an glanced a few times at the Peacock Fairy, subconsciously averting his gaze, his Dao heart clenching hard.

It wasn’t that he was making random conjectures;

Kong Xuan giving up the perfection of the Hunyuan Dao Body to choose his gender and becoming a Female Immortal was somewhat absurd in itself;

And when he considered the Phoenix Battle Body given to him by the Primordial Phoenix, and what she likely instructed Kong Xuan and the Roc about during their discussions;

Li Ping’an had a somewhat bad premonition…

Although the Primordial Phoenix had already exploded, her straightforward nature left a deep impression on Li Ping’an, leading him to think that if the Peacock Fairy suddenly pursued the Heavenly Emperor for the continuation of the Phoenix Clan, he would not be surprised.

He decided it was best to love himself a little less, refuse decisively, and at worst, look after the Phoenix Clan a bit more in the future.

The problem now is…

Currently, he still looks like his father.

If he were to resume his original appearance now, the scene might get a tad awkward.

‘It doesn’t really matter, later I’ll lead them into the Southern Heavenly Gate and deliberately show some flaws so that the Heavenly General will see through it, saying it’s part of the Heavenly Emperor’s regular examination.’

Li Ping’an quickly made up his mind, keeping a calm and composed demeanor outwardly.

He smiled and said, “Daoist Kong Xuan, why have you suddenly taken on the appearance of a woman?”

The Peacock Fairy showed no sign of embarrassment, her phoenix eyes carrying a faint smile, the pale green pupils radiating a mysterious allure.

She softly opened her red lips and spoke slowly:

“When I descended to the mortal world, there were some peculiarities; my mother did not assign me a gender in order to cultivate the Secret Technique for a perfect Dao Body.

“Now that my cultivation is complete, I could have distinguished Yin and Yang long ago. But now, with only myself and the Roc left in the Phoenix Clan, we need to balance Yin and Yang for our race’s continuation.”

Li Ping’an let out a sigh of relief.

So she was planning to breed with the Roc bird.

What?

That doesn’t seem right? They are siblings… Well, they probably don’t need to care whether they are siblings or not, being from the Phoenix Clan and not bound by Human Race customs.

But the Roc bird said, “Heavenly Emperor Father, you may not know, but my sister becoming female is because the Heavenly Emperor is now considered one of us in the Phoenix Clan too! If you and my sister could become a couple, the continuation of the Phoenix Clan will be hopeful!”

The Peacock Fairy’s gaze shifted aside, her eyes showing a mix of helplessness, contemplation, and a hint of shyness.

Li Ping’an: …

Say something, Kong Xuan!

Your face is as red as a teapot ready to brew tea!

The Roc bird, however, did not care, smiling as he raised his hand in invitation: “Heavenly Emperor Father, please lead the way! Both of us siblings are now officers of the Heavenly Court and dare not walk ahead of you!”

“Ah, alright.”

Li Ping’an covered his mouth and nose slightly, pretending to cough, and turned to lead the way with his hands behind his back, riding the clouds together with the two battle generals of the Heavenly Court.

He didn’t forget to imitate his father’s voice and said:

“Didn’t expect to meet here, wasn’t prepared to give any gift in such a rush, hope you both don’t mind, don’t mind.”

The Roc bird responded quickly.

The Peacock Fairy, however, folded her hands behind her back, maintaining her aloof demeanor.

The eyelashes, appearing too long on other fairies, complemented her phoenix eyes perfectly, looking quite natural.

As they reached the Southern Heavenly Gate, Li Ping’an saw the general on duty. His Primordial Spirit made a calculation by pinching his fingers, using the power of the Heavenly Dao to search the general’s information. Soon, his eyes brightened.

Today’s general on duty was quite interesting.

Bian Zhuang, male, son of some power-wielding elder at the Heavenly Square Pavilion, second-grade Heavenly Immortal cultivation, a member of the first talent support plan of the Misty Realm battle department, a low-tier minor god of the Heavenly Court, holding the position of a general, currently specialized in gatekeeping duties.

Having donned the silver armor and helmet, this man, who should have been a spy, became a battle general in the Heavenly Court.

Li Ping’an had heard this name before, at the time Luo Xuejing intended to remain in the main world to assist her father in managing the Western Continent. The Heavenly Square Pavilion recommended several young elite figures, and Bian Zhuang was one of them.

Since he came from the Heavenly Square Pavilion, he must be a meticulous observer.

‘Intentionally reveal a flaw.’

Li Ping’an straightened up, hands behind his back, emitting a faint Dao Charm around him.

The Southern Heavenly Gate had also become much more solemn compared to two months ago, the White Jade Imperial Gate had grown a bit larger, with over a dozen starlights floating above it.

With such defenses, this general, plus the distinctly different aura from his own father, how could he not be seen through?

As they neared the Southern Heavenly Gate, the three thousand Heavenly Soldiers uniformly cupped their fists in greeting.

The gatekeeping general, Bian Zhuang, shouted, “Pay respects to the Heavenly Emperor Father!”

Li Ping’an nodded calmly, inwardly sighing that his father indeed liked this kind of pomp, and then continued forward, intending to lead the Peacock Fairy and Roc bird directly through the Heavenly Gate.

Bian Zhuang was clearly taken aback, hurriedly saying, “Heavenly Emperor Father!”

“Hmm?” Li Ping’an’s gaze swept over, eyes filled with displeasure, “What, am I to be checked before entering the Heavenly Court?”

Bian Zhuang cupped his fists with both hands, his handsome face carrying a wry smile, hastily saying:

“Please don’t joke with this humble one. Previously, you disguised yourself as the Eastern King to test us brethren; last time, I was on duty, let you in without checking, and was penalized half a year’s salary.

“You mentioned that the rules can’t be broken, even if the Heavenly Emperor himself personally comes, he must stop for an inspection.

“You even scolded this humble one for not having much intelligence, saying would the Heavenly Emperor suddenly appear at the Southern Heavenly Gate… and the like.”

Li Ping’an: …

The Roc bird spoke up, “Heavenly Emperor Father, let’s go by the rules, don’t make it difficult for our working brethren.”

Bian Zhuang immediately gave a grateful look, quickly turning to invite them.

Li Ping’an nodded and stepped aside to walk towards another side.

There was a ‘security check entrance’ there, first using several Heavenly Dao treasures for a scan, followed by a simple touch for identification – truly a work of Li Dazhi’s hand.

Bian Zhuang went to the desk ahead of the entrance, took out a jade slip, and started writing and drawing.
