Everyone was filled with surprise when they heard Li Yu. They never imagined that Li Yu would refuse everyone in the end.

“But… Your Highness, if I have the chance in the future, I can come to your place as a guest. I wonder if you’ll welcome me?” Li Yu said with a smile.

Since she was a fated person, he could not treat her like the others.

Although he would not work under her, he could still consider becoming her boyfriend, uh… male friend. Not to mention with her special status, he might be able to wander around the royal library with her help.

He heard that there were many good things in the royal library.

He might be able to collect some precious cultivation technique manuals.

Hmm, in any case, Murong Xingqiao can be helpful to me.

“Of course, you’re welcome. My Eastern Palace Gate is open for you at any time!” Murong Xingqiao revealed a hint of surprise.

Li Yu’s words meant that there was hope.

It seemed that he did not want to offend anyone else in public, so he chose to stall for time.

This Li Yu is rather clever.

However, a cold glint flashed through Murong Taisheng and Murong Zhengnan’s eyes.

Since the child had switched sides to stand on the Crown Prince’s side, they could not stay any longer.

“In a few days. When I’m done with the matters at hand, I’ll pay a visit to Your Highness!” Li Yu said with a smile.

“Young Friend Li Yu, this old man has a request. I wonder if you can let us admire the elegant bearing of the Chongming Bird!” Elder Hu suddenly said.

It was a pity that he could not recruit Li Yu. However, if he was lucky enough to see that divine bird, the trip would not be in vain.

“That’s right, that’s right. We’ve never seen this divine bird before. I wonder if we can have the fortune of witnessing it today!”

“That’s right, please let us take a look at the legendary divine bird!” Everyone echoed in agreement, their enthusiasm soaring.

Obviously, everyone was curious about the legendary Divine Bird, the Chongming Bird.

Even the noble crown prince Murong Xingqiao and the two princes had faces filled with anticipation.

After all, they had never seen a divine bird before and only knew about such a powerful bird in some ancient books and legends.

“Ah? Haha, um… um, to be honest, I ate that bird!” Li Yu scratched his head and said awkwardly.

What?!

Everyone’s eyes widened in utter shock, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

He ate the divine bird!

“Hehe, at the time, I didn’t know that it was a divine bird rewarded by the Heaven Dao Rankings. I thought it was a wild chicken, so I stewed it!”

Li Yu told everyone the truth as he hoped to break some people’s thoughts.

After all, compared to the Heavenly Spirit Pill, that divine bird was much more enticing.

Therefore, he needed them to know that the divine bird had been eaten to dispel the thoughts of snatching the treasure in many people. It would also save him from being disturbed by those guys who were blinded by gains.

“Cough, cough. Well, you must be joking, my young friend? Heh, I can understand. You can rest assured that no one could have the opportunity to snatch it from you. As long as I’m here, I will not tolerate anyone who dares to cause trouble.

“So, Little Friend, you shouldn’t hide it. We only want to admire the elegant demeanor of the divine bird!” Elder Hu patted his chest and said.

He could not believe that Li Yu had really eaten the divine bird.

“Yes, yes. There are so many people here. No one dares to mess around. Everyone only wants to take a look!” someone echoed.

“I really don’t need to lie to all of you. I’ve unfortunately done it. Alright, since you guys insist on seeing it, wait here!” Li Yu walked into the kitchen and soon walked out with a basket of feathers.

“There’s only this basket of feathers left now. Take a look if you want.”

Li Yu originally planned to keep these feathers to make a feather duster, so he did not discard them.

Of course, if everyone knew what Li Yu was thinking, their jaws would probably drop again.

Gasp—

Everyone gasped as they looked at the feathers in the box in shock.

Although there were only feathers left, they could tell that these were not the feathers of an ordinary pheasant.

Those feathers were still emitting spirit energy.

Furthermore, the quality and color of the feather seemed extraordinary.

It seemed that the divine bird had really been eaten by Li Yu.

What the…

Everyone gasped.

“What a reckless waste of a heavenly treasure! That’s a divine bird! A divine bird! How could you eat it!” Elder Hu and Elder Jia really felt as if it was their divine bird that had been eaten.

Their feelings were understandable.

The Chongming Bird was powerful enough to suppress demons.

Even if this divine bird did not land in their sect’s hands, it was not a big deal. As long as they were alive, they could help Li Yu raise the divine bird and become a powerful force in the future, helping the righteous path fight the demons.

This divine bird was simply the hope of the righteous path.

Yet, it was stewed and eaten by Li Yu.

It was a huge blow to them.

“Hmm, I have to say that the divine bird’s meat is absolutely delicious!” Li Yu thought nothing of it. In any case, it was his freedom to eat or not to eat the rewards given to him by the Heavenly Dao Rankings. And so he believed that there was no need for them to grieve over it.

Furthermore, keeping the divine bird might bring more trouble to himself.

Elder Hu felt his head buzz. His heart was about to break from such a blow.

What a pity!

“Oh yes, are any of you interested in the Heavenly Spirit Pill?” Li Yu looked at everyone and asked suddenly.

“Are you planning to sell this pill?” Someone was interested.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill was another absolute treasure.

It was a heaven-defying pill that could cleanse one’s marrow, remodel his foundation, and condense a heavenly spiritual root.

Who wouldn’t want it!

Obtaining it was equivalent to possessing the opportunity to transform from a cocoon to a butterfly and turn something rotten into a masterpiece.

A single pill could allow an ordinary person to become a paragon existence.

The temptation was not small.

“Mmm, that’s right!” Li Yang nodded.

A commotion broke out among the crowd.

“I want it, I want it!”

“Our Luo Clan is willing to buy it!”

“I wonder what’s the price?” The disciples of the two sects and the group of nobles asked.

This Heavenly Spirit Pill was extremely useful to them. This trip would not have been in vain if they could purchase it.

“Okay, you can have it, but I’m not selling it!” Li Yu said with a smile.

Everyone was startled by his words.

Some looked at Li Yu unhappily.?Are you messing with us?

Li Yu continued, “However, you can make a bet with me. Each side can send someone to compete with me as long as you can take out something of the same value to bet. If I lose, you can take the Heavenly Spirit Pill. And I won’t take a single cent! If I win, your bet will be mine! ”

When these people first arrived, Li Yu had already made up his mind.

He could not let them come here for nothing!

With so many leeks coming to his door, how could he not ruthlessly harvest them?

He lacked everything now: pills, spirit stones, cultivation techniques, and weapons.
