Chapter 46: The Kunpeng's Weakness

"I don't quite understand Dragon Lord Qing Yan's words," Zhuang Qing pulled Fu Li out of his hiding spot behind the cushion, pinning him to his side. "Fu Li is a very good colleague. I feel assured handing him things to do."

"Since that's the case, I can be at ease," Qing Yan didn't mind Zhuang Qing's cold expression and continued smiling. "I came today to request for your help."

Zhuang Qing lowered his head and rubbed the fur on the rabbit's back. Fu Li's fur was both smooth and soft, possibly because he had been raised well as a child. His fur felt exceedingly nice to the touch. Zhuang Qing had originally only intended to casually touch his fur a few times, but ended up unable to stop.

As an elder, Fu Li wasn't very happy at being touched here and there by an underaged yao. He stepped on Zhuang Qing's hand with his hind legs. Impudent!

His body might be small, but he had plenty of strength. Zhuang Qing rubbed his hand that was aching from being stomped on and shifted his seat, leaving a ten centimeter gap between them.

Despite being ignored by Zhuang Qing, Qing Yan didn't reveal the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. He took out a jade box from his sleeves and placed it on the table.

The ears drooping by the sides of Fu Li's head pricked up. This situation – was it bribery? He hadn't expected Zhuang Qing to be such a yao.

"I heard a rumor," Qing Yan opened the lid, revealing several pearls of an unparalleled size. "It's said that the Kunpeng has awoken?"

Having just received a rainbow made out of gems, Zhuang Qing was extremely calm upon seeing these large pearls. "Why does Dragon Lord Qing Yan ask this?"

"Our dragon race is in possession of ancient records. Not only does the Kunpeng eat fish and shrimp, it also has the habit of feeding on dragons. You should pay attention to your safety," Hearing Zhuang Qing's tone of voice, Qing Yan understood. It seemed the Kunpeng truly had awakened.

He had assumed that all these great yao had lost their lives during the major calamity. Yet, they had actually reappeared.

"The Kunpeng is very reasonable, there is no need for Dragon Lord Qing Yan to worry," Zhuang Qing pointed at the clock on the wall. "It's my rest time."

Qing Yan was aware that Zhuang Qing had little desire to attend to him, so he stood up. "I've interrupted Chief Zhuang's rest, goodbye."

"Take care," Zhuang Qing raised a hand and the main door to the villa opened automatically. There were even two members of the azure dragon clan outside the door. Zhuang Qing sneered, "The next time Dragon Lord Qing Yan brings your clanmates, let them enter and sit down as well. Although I don't have good tea or water to receive guests, I can still find an area for them to sit."

"I dare not disrupt Chief Zhuang's rest. They are young and strong, waiting outside for a while is not a problem," Qing Yan walked down the steps. He glanced back and saw the rabbit that had previously been lying on the sofa leap off the couch and walk over to Zhuang Qing's feet. Its golden eyes were fixed on him.

There was a strange feeling in his heart. Even after setting up a barrier and flying into the sky, he still felt that something wasn't quite right.

"Dragon Lord, what's wrong?" The azure dragon clansmen saw that Qing Yan had an odd expression on his face and thus asked, "Did Zhuang Qing behave unreasonably towards you?"

Qing Yan shook his head. Zhuang Qing had never been very polite to him.

What exactly was wrong?

He turned his head and looked at his clanmates. "How do rabbits walk?"

"Ah?" The clanmates hadn't expected Qing Yan to suddenly ask such a trivial question. After staring blankly for a moment, they answered with some hesitation, "Don't they walk on four feet?"
