Chapter 101: Gathering of a Thousand Ghosts

"You want to give the Bead of Heaven and Earth to that mortal boy?"

While preening its feathers, the Nether Phoenix curiously inquired.

"Mortal? Where did you get the idea that this child is a mortal?"

Dong Huang asked with some amusement.

"I have an impulse to devour him, isn't that indicative of a mortal?"

The Nether Phoenix questioned, puzzled.

Having come into close contact with Feng Qing'an, Dong Huang could detect an anomaly, as could the Nether Phoenix, yet it seemed to have misunderstood something. This was its first time descending upon the human world and encountering mortals.

"No, you underestimate yourself. Even after falling into the underworld, you would never have such desires toward a mortal!"

Dong Huang decisively responded.

"Then why am I enticed by that boy? He smells so good, I want to peck at him."

"You don't need to ponder the reason too deeply. Just restrain your thoughts, I'll handle the matter."
