Chapter 1785: Chapter 648: Chicken Cage_2

The day before yesterday, Missy had found a nest of bird eggs. The adult birds looked a bit like owls and a bit like bats, with a frightening appearance. They circled around Missy’s tent for a long time, screeching loudly.

Yesterday, Missy said she found a field mouse hole and caught a white, chubby thing from it. Whether it was a field mouse or not...only heaven knows! Missy happily cooked it – although the two young ones were a bit scared, they found it quite delicious during the meal.

Today, Master returned. As soon as Sir Bertram entered the backyard, he saw Verna with her butt up in the air, her head buried in a thick cluster of tall grass. Hearing her brother call her, she replied, "I’m here!" When she came out, her face was covered in dust, and her head had some thingamabobs like sagebrush hanging from it. In her hands, she tightly gripped two shiny black centipedes!

"Ah–" the two little ones screamed with their mouths covered. Verna threw them a disdainful look: "What’s there to be scared of? It’s delicious. You two hold them down while I catch the rest from the nest. Brother, wait for me for a moment..." She handed the two centipedes over to the young ones. The centipedes suddenly opened their mouths, revealing rows and layers of dark red hooked teeth the size of chicken eggs. With a "hiss," they spat out two threadworm-like tendrils from their throats – this scared the daylights out of the young ones.

Sir Bertram quickly grabbed the two centipedes: "Stop messing around. I have something important for you. Come take a look."

Ava was a bit regretful. Having disturbed the centipedes, they might run away by tomorrow.

Great Sect Leader Wu stared at the unkempt, chubby girl Sir Bertram brought with him, his eyes filled with disbelief... Sir Bertram, who knew what his sister looked like, naturally wouldn’t blame the Great Sect Leader. In fact, in recent years, Sir Bertram had given up hope concerning the "brother-in-law" issue.

Sir Bertram took the dying Vermilion Bird from his sister. Verna took a look and then blurted out something that almost made the Great Sect Leader jump: "Did you go hunting outside? Wow, this bird looks great! It must be delicious when cooked. But it doesn’t seem to go well with those two centipedes, gotta cook them separately..."

Sir Bertram hurriedly blocked the Great Sect Leader and scolded his sister: "Stop talking nonsense. I want you to see if it can be saved."

"Save it? Oh, I see. Big brother, you want to fatten it up before eating..." The Vermilion Bird used up all its strength to open its eyes and attempted to flap its wings to escape helplessly.

Sir Bertram couldn’t reason with this stupid girl and simply asked: "Is there a way?" Verna scratched her head and inadvertently picked a blueberry-like fruit out of her messy hair and popped it into her mouth.

"Sure, we can save it and raise it first." Verna said, "Big brother, do you want me to weave a chicken cage first? After saving it, we can keep it in the cage, so it doesn’t run away."

Sir Bertram, feeling exhausted, replied, "Just save it! Don’t meddle in other things!"

When big brother displayed the authority of the ’head of the family,’ Verna gave him some face and agreed with an "oh." She then set up a big pot to start a fire and somehow found all sorts of bizarre ingredients from who knows where – even the two little ones didn’t know when Missy had hidden these things away.

The most exaggerated moment was when Verna, like a little dog, sniffed along a certain section of the backyard wall, muttering, "Where did I bury it? Why can’t I remember..."

Then, she dug a hole at the base of the wall and turned over half a leftover bun from who knows when, throwing it directly into the big pot!

Great Sect Leader still appeared quite haggard, but the gleam in his eyes grew stronger and stronger! To ordinary people, Verna’s actions seemed absurd and unreliable, but the Great Sect Leader believed she was an extraordinary person with extraordinary abilities! As a result, his confidence in her ability to save the Vermilion Bird grew.

After Verna had gathered all the ingredients, it took her more than two shichen (four hours) to prepare them. She then began stirring the pot nonstop while the fire burned, continuing late into the night, with Verna yawning with exhaustion.

Sir Bertram felt sorry for her and asked the Great Sect Leader, "Do you have any delicious food? My sister is hungry." The Great Sect Leader thought for a moment and took out a jade box from a Storage Brocade Pouch. He opened it to reveal nine spiritual fruits. Verna’s eyes lit up, and she took them without hesitation, eating them and immediately feeling refreshed.

By the late night, Verna put down the spoon and stretched, "It’s ready. Pour it down its throat."

There was only about a bowl’s worth left in the pot, a sticky black substance with a strange smell. This time, the Vermilion Bird didn’t need anyone’s help and struggled to its feet. With great effort, it managed to kindle a wisp of Divine Fire and crawled to the edge of the pot to drink. However, it ended up falling headfirst right in.

As soon as Sir Bertram saw Verna’s eyes light up, he quickly held her back – if big brother was just a little slower, Verna might have taken this opportunity to cook the bird outright...

The Great Sect Leader guarded the pot unyieldingly, having already figured out that Sir Bertram’sstupid sister was the legendary "Poison Doctor" who could both heal and kill!

Master Ava took her sister back to sleep, and Verna still wanted to sleep with her elder brother. Back in Extinct Village, she was young and always felt cold at night, so elder brother would hug her to sleep. Now, the two little creatures slept with her every night, and they were conflicted: Should we sleep together if Master is going to sleep with Young Miss tonight?

Suddenly, a loud voice came, "Master, I’m back!" Glenn Mitchell was three thousand miles away, handling the affairs of Wood Dynasty and the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region, but actually meeting his lover in secret. He had informants in the Capital, and when he heard Master Ava had returned, he hurriedly left Windsor and returned. He was relieved: Thank goodness I came back, can you hear what Master is thinking?!

Master Ava looked upset, and felt she had gone too easy on him last time.

In the end, Elder Brother didn’t fulfill Verna’s request—although he had given up hope on having a brother-in-law, Tabitha had really grown up, and she was already fifteen years old this year.

Great Sect Leader insisted on guarding the Vermilion Bird, so Master Ava took the others to rest. Shelia kindly arranged a room for the National Master, right next to Master Ava’s room.

The next morning, Great Sect Leader was waiting outside Master Ava’s door with the Vermilion Bird. As soon as Master Ava opened the door, the Great Sect Leader and Vermilion Bird respectfully bowed, "Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Master Ava took a look at the Vermilion Bird, and it had indeed recovered. She smiled and said, "You’re welcome. Well, can you still hold on, Great Sect Leader? You’d better hurry back to the Southern Wasteland; without you overseeing the situation, the Southern Wasteland is unstable."

Whether the Southern Wasteland is stable or not is not important. If you leave the Vermilion Bird here, I’m afraid my sister will not be able to resist wanting to taste divine beast meat and see if it’s like beef that gets stuck in her teeth.

Great Sect Leader quickly understood and immediately replied, "No problem, I’ll return to the Southern Wasteland right away. In the future, if you need anything, just send a message, and Wu Kong will willingly risk his life and limb!"

Verna didn’t get up until the sun was high. As soon as she got out of bed, she found a firewood knife from somewhere, grabbed the two little creatures, and said, "Let’s go cut some willow branches and weave a chicken coop today."

...

Wu Kong and the Vermilion Bird returned to the Southern Wasteland. The Vermilion Bird was still frightened and said to the Great Sect Leader, "These siblings are too strange..." Wu Kong asked solemnly, "Can you see their origins, especially the plump girl?"

The Vermillion Bird shook its head before saying, "This time, I walked the line between life and death again, but it wasn’t without gains. I have awakened some memories."

Wu Kong’s eyes lit up, "Which part?"

"The part related to the Heaven Realm." The Vermilion Bird said, "I have remembered the real reason for the divine beast rebellion, and which Emperors Venerable were behind the extermination of our Divine Beast Clan!"

With some emotion, the Vermilion Bird continued, "Our clan should have lived in the Heavenly Palace, but we chose to cooperate with the Immortals, and never expected this outcome!"

Wu Kong asked, "Is it related to the Heavenly Track Reversal?"

"Yes!" The Vermilion Bird gave an affirmative answer and added, "But although I have regained all my memory, I still can’t figure out the origin of the girl’s pot and also the two golden ropes that Master Ava pulled back to the Heavenly Palace, what treasures they are!"

Wu Kong was puzzled, "Are you saying it’s not an Immortal Artifact falling into the Lower Realm?"

"There has never been such a powerful artifact in the history of the Immortal World! Fallen Immortal Artifacts must be restrained by the Heavenly Track and cannot exert their power in the Lower Realm. There is only one possibility..."

Wu Kong asked, "What possibility?"

"Several ancient Emperor Venerables mysteriously disappeared. It is said in the Heaven Realm that they went in search of a higher level world..."
