The sight of the great eagle made the rooster immediately shrink its neck in fear.
A Golden Core stage eagle was not something a Foundation Establishment stage runt like him could deal with.
Being cowardly was one thing, but he couldn't show it on the surface.
"Alas..." the rooster sighed. "Brother Rooster is a wanderer, a wisp of cloud in the sky. And you, you are not the kind of girl who can keep my heart. Sigh..."
"Wang Wu!" Miss A Ying ordered coldly.
The servant named Wang Wu immediately prepared to release the eagle.
"Goodbye!"
Leaving these words and a few chicken feathers behind, the rooster flew away from the manor.
"Miss, are we just going to let him go?" the personal maid said resentfully. "If you ask me, he should be cooked!"
"Forget it, I find it disgusting!" Miss A Ying replied huffily.
"Something's up!"
As the rooster was planning where to wander next, it suddenly smelled a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance.
Immediately, it followed the scent and flew towards it.
Although chickens were not good at flying, it was still a demon after all.
A height of a few stories was nothing to it.
Inside the house.
Tender beef tumbled in the hot pot broth, emitting a tempting aroma.
Ye Fan and the little demoness sat around the table, feasting heartily.
The meat was from the ox demon that Ye Fan had smashed to death earlier...
"This is so delicious!" the little demoness said with great enjoyment. "So satisfying!"
"Hm?"
Sensing something, the little demoness turned her head towards the window.
Ye Fan followed her gaze curiously.
A valiant-looking rooster was staring intently at the hot pot on the table.
Its saliva dripped incessantly from the corners of its mouth.
"Swoosh..."
Well...
It couldn't be called dripping anymore.
It was like a faucet turned on full blast!
Ye Fan and the little demoness were stunned!
What was this strange scene?
When did chickens gain such a skill?
Seeing that it had been spotted, the rooster quickly suppressed its drooling.
Brother Rooster was a demon who valued his pride.
No matter how tempted he was, he couldn't show it like this.
Especially not in front of two weaklings with no cultivation.
If this got out, where would he put his face?!
"Listen up, this place is now taken over by Brother Rooster!" the rooster declared, pointing a wing at the two. "From now on, you will proudly become my subordinates! Brother Rooster is going to eat now, do you know what you need to do?!"
"Eh?" the little demoness exclaimed, surprised. "A mere Foundation Establishment stage minor demon can actually speak human language?"
"It is indeed a bit interesting," Ye Fan agreed.
As everyone knew, demons could not speak human language before shapeshifting.
Although it wasn't absolute, such situations were extremely rare.
In Ye Fan's millions of years of existence, he had only encountered such exceptions three or four times.
And later, it turned out that those exceptions had special bloodlines within them.
"Great Brother Rooster," Ye Fan said, finding the silly rooster demon quite amusing, and playing along. "Are you saying you're here to freeload?"
"Do you know what's good for you?!" the rooster immediately puffed up. "Brother Rooster eating your food is doing you a favor!"
"Alright, alright," Ye Fan said with a smile, taking out a pair of bowls and chopsticks and gesturing. "Brother Rooster, please."
Seeing Ye Fan enjoying himself, the little demoness didn't stop him.
While it was a bit strange, it was just a minor Foundation Establishment stage demon, so she wasn't afraid it would cause any trouble.
"Now that's more like it."
The rooster hopped over contentedly and picked up the bowls and chopsticks with its wings.
Yes, with its wings.
Clearly two chicken wings, yet it held the bowls and chopsticks just like human hands.
It looked as if the bowls and chopsticks were somehow stuck to its wings.
And it could even separate the chopsticks flexibly...
Ye Fan surmised that it was using some sort of demonic power, which wasn't surprising.
After all, he had seen stranger things than this.
Like being able to speak human language without shapeshifting...
"Hey, young man, your cooking skills are excellent!" the rooster praised as it ate. "When our gang is established, you'll be Brother Rooster's exclusive chef!"
"From now on, in this Ge City, if anyone who doesn't know their place dares to cause trouble for you, just mention Brother Rooster's name." The rooster drank a mouthful of soup with satisfaction and continued, "With Brother Rooster backing you, you can walk sideways in this Ge City!"
Putting aside the bragging, Brother Rooster was truly shocked by Ye Fan's cooking skills!
Although humans were generally not friendly to Brother Rooster, it had to admit that human cuisine was an absolute pleasure.
From the inns to the roadside stalls in Ge City, it had basically stolen... tasted everything.
It used to think they were all quite good.
Only after tasting Ye Fan's cooking today did it realize that what it had eaten before was practically pig slop!
Brother Rooster, my luck is truly great!
With this subordinate, I'll have good food from now on!
"Brother Rooster speaks the truth," Ye Fan said, handing over a cup of wine. "Brother Rooster, have some wine."
"Slurp!"
"Not bad, not bad!" After a cup of wine, the rooster started to get a bit tipsy. "When Brother Rooster opens a branch later, I'll make you a hall master!"
"Brother Rooster, I have a question for you," Ye Fan asked curiously. "Before, I saw that the powers here were all gangs and factions, and I never heard of any sects. Why is that?"
"New here, aren't you?" the rooster glanced at Ye Fan contemptuously. "In Ge City, there are only gangs, no sects."
"Why is that?" Ye Fan pressed further.
"I heard it's stipulated by the owner of Ge City," the rooster mused. "Anyway, those who tried to establish sects before are all dead."
"Does Brother Rooster know where the owner of Ge City is?" Ye Fan asked curiously. "The map doesn't seem to mark it, and when I asked people before, they all became evasive."
"The owner of Ge City is a mysterious legend!" the rooster said sternly. "It's said that no one has ever seen his true face, because those who did are all dead. Some also say he likes to disguise himself as an ordinary person and wander around the city. Perhaps one of the passersby you saw today is him!"
Ye Fan nodded thoughtfully.
A quarter of an hour later.
The rooster stretched its wings to wipe its mouth contentedly.
"Your wife is quite nice," Brother Rooster said lewdly, looking at the little demoness. "How about letting her be my captive bride?"
Seeing a chicken display a lewd expression, Ye Fan truly didn't know how to describe it.
And he suspected this rooster demon might have the surname Cao.
After saying that, the rooster didn't wait for Ye Fan's reply and reached out a wing to touch the little demoness's hand.
"Tsk tsk, this little hand is so soft. Brother Rooster is very pleased," it murmured lewdly while touching it.
"Does it feel good?" the little demoness asked with a smile, not getting angry.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm!" the rooster nodded repeatedly.
"But you're just a chicken demon, and an un-shapeshifted one at that," the little demoness said, lifting the rooster and looking at a certain part of its body with ill intent. "If I followed you, wouldn't I starve to death?"
Ye Fan's face immediately turned dark.
This female hooligan, here we go again...
"Shut up!" the rooster immediately bristled.
The little demoness's words had touched its sensitive spot.
Although it had a broad, loving heart that embraced countless maidens, its hardware was unfortunately incompatible...
A dragon has its scales, touch them and it will surely be enraged!
Now the little demoness had angered its scales!
Brother Rooster was very angry, and the consequences would be severe!
