After they finished absorbing the spiritual energy, both of them lie down on the ground and closed their eyes and blow heavy sighed after they've looked each other and turned back their heads again.
"Are you alright?" Little bird open the conversation as his eyes look away.
"Mmm" Tan Jiki mumbled while looking the old ceiling of graveyard. Both of them felt awkward.
"What is your name?" She lightly murmured as she set her eyes on top.
" Wang Cai, My past master called me little Cai, you can call me little Cai" He happily snapped and turned his head towards Tan Jiki. His big eyes pop out and his little wings clapping. Tan Jiki lips twisted, she guessed this beast is cute when he felt excited.
"Mmm...quite bad.. your former master is money grabber." she replied uninterested but deep of her heart having contracted with him isn't bad at all. Watching her reaction little Cai heart bled, he can't believed he contracted with this woman who had no heart and wordless. He grab his egg shells ang start eating like snacks..Tan Jiki can't help to looked ridiculous species eating his own shell yet she never mind him doing.
"Hmf... He was but he loved to call me like that..how about you ?" Little bird pretend he did not saw her reaction. Though he covered his gloomy face as he turned his head in left side.
"I am Tan Jiki, call me what you like." She slightly answered leaving little Cai curious about her. This woman is uncalculated, she is mysterious person. Her name is the same as in her previous life before she replaced the original. But their persona are opposite with each other.
Seeing her impassive aura, little Cai plaster little smirked in his floppy face, her beauty matched her cold grape sparkled eyes, she looked an unmatched goddess, Tan Jiki beauty can moved thousands countries.
"Master resting here for a long time isn't helpful for keeping our safety, we should move to the exit, staying here for a long time, a lot of stronger beast wandering around". Even little Cai was an egg, his senses are more advanced than other beast.
"Then we will go." Knowing from her previous knowledge in reading several books about beast, Tan Jiki definitely knows the strength of her beast depends to her but had their own attributes to cultivate. Tan Jiki straight up her body and started their journey to find the exit.
"How come you end up here?" Little Cai curious everything this petite lady, his heart aching for truth how this weak woman wandering in dangerous place without scratch. Thats unbelievable!
"I stumbled with this courtyard pit, what is the purposed of your former owner to seal you in his tomb ?" Detecting little Cai leads the story about her, she quickly change the topic. Besides she's also curious why there are no remains lying in emperor tombs but only an egg preserved for 100,000 years. Little Cai had nothing to do much about it if she didn't want to talk. Maybe they had long journey to go.
"Oh!" Little Cai exclaimed as he remembered something "My former master was great master of different levels of cultivation! He knows everything, so beyond of his knowledged everybody envied to him and one of them was his elder stepbrother. His elder brother snatched his beloved wife and used her to poisoned him, unfortunately that poison had no cure, the remaining of his strength he focused on sealing his spiritual soul in order for him not to let his enemies to succeed in their evil plans. But the dynasty eventually fallen apart after his death ever since some group of barbarian took some of imperial cities." Little Cai explained very long, he blew sighed before he continue his long story.
"As my former master sealed his soul, my soul also sealed in his tomb, so master I am not in touched in worldly affairs after then, except listening for some beast wandering in my current place" He elucidate farther as his short feathered forelimbs flapping, and his whole body feather straighten up as both of them continues to walked. After had conversations with little Cai they finally found the exit.
"Look?! we found the exit!" He exclaimed and jump to Tan Jiki arms. Tan Jiki didn't refused him, she actually let little Cai carried in her arms, Thinking little Cai panting secretly while they walking while ago and never complained , she let it be. Realizing he jumped off in Tan Jiki arms, he looked up to see Tan Jiki face, her face isn't gloomy or pissed off but it just expressionless but her body emitted warm atmosphere. His heart moved seeing her serious face continue walking at vast forest while brought him.
"I truly helped this woman in everything she wanted in her life, following her is not bad." Little Cai thought in his mind, till he closed his small eyelid to sleep. Not long after they've been entered the peak of forest, actually this area had powerful beasts wandering around, they are also at out most strength like nine heavenly beast or more, just same as nine heavenly realm in human strength. Absolutely Tan Jiki got lost, she don't know where the exit of graveyard leads them.
Having long slept little Cai blink his eyes and turn to wide shock. Their environment was lighted not unlike in other part of Black Jungle Forest, means the spiritual qi here are more condensed than other parts, there was no evening here because of spiritual qi of nature penetrated the area. It means the more it resourceful the place the more it dangerous for low key humans.
"Oh! don't ever let your body had little scratch, this place is more dangerous than other, we should find place to hide or else we can't leave out of here!" Little Cai quietly spoke before he jump off in Tan Jiki arms and bite Tan Jiki sleeves to lead the way. Little Cai knows the lead since his former brought him here to find that valuable treasures millions years buried here but unluckily he met his ends before he could traced its exact location.
After few minutes they saw not far away from them a Fire Salamander about three story of the building in her past life, its huge beast, its male beast had fire attributes. His level almost near at eight heavenly realm, it means she had no match to this beast, retreating is the best way to preserve their lives. Although she had spiritual qi and thousands techniques donated by the late emperor and little Cai is still useless in her current state since she did not dare to start her own cultivation.
Avoiding the Fire Salamander Beast is her choice and she leads by little Cai in small cave.
"How do you know this place Little Birdie?"
"My name is Wang Cai not little birdie!its shameful to my ancestors if you call the legendary Phoenix a little birdie!" He scolded Tan Jiki to name him as little birdie. Little Cai chirping but since they as master and beast relationship they understand each other. He snorted his little beak and glare his little eyes towards to Tan Jiki place. Tan Jiki can't help to laugh seeing a little chicken had this expressions. Little Cai shocked and stunned looking to pretty woman laughing heartily. She simply so called beautiful. Her makeup as young master almost faded so her little face had small dust that looked grim though when she laughed her big sparkled eyes twinkle without impurities. Wang Cai coughed to collect his mind and didn't mind this petite lady in naming him.
" Humph! Before master died we heard valuable treasure buried here, previously we investigated this area, so absolutely we had planned to search this place but we didn't make it because of his conditions got worst and worst." Little Birdie elaborate again about how they discovered the place. His face looked gloomy but he manage to hide it from Tan Jiki eyes but Tan Jiki had sharp eyes and senses. She absolutely understand little birdie feeling since now they shared soul.
"No need to hide your grievance but for now we camp here and find that treasures while I will start my cultivation." She said seriously while rotating her heads to study the cave. Patting his head to reassure him it makes again little Birdie to moved. The structure of the cave is not huge or small though its comfortable to shelter. The cave had blue stones placing in right places, it emitted fresh coolly light air to nurtured rapidly the spiritual qi of mans.
"I remembered there is Crystal Spring located here too!"
"Mmm, later we wander there, Little Birdie stay here I'll hunt some of our foods" After she left Birdie quietly sit there and took some blue Crystals and put on in his interspatial pocket. This thing is treasured used to make it fast Tan Jiki cultivation.
