Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

"Alright, is there nowhere else for you to whine and cry in the Kunlun Mountains? Why do you have to do it here!"

Tongtian stood at the foot of the mountain, feeling somewhat bored. Since he couldn't catch up with Hongyun there, he urged Lu Ya and the others to hurry up.

The group quickly wiped away their tears and obediently waited to follow Tongtian and Hongyun up Kunlun Mountain.

Tongtian and Hongyun walked ahead together, while Huiyu and Lu Ya each carried a three-headed baby as they followed behind.

On the mountainside, several white cranes flew low, their necks slender and their feathers soft and shiny. They flew past people without any fear, truly a blessed land of immortals.

Hongyun could tell at a glance that this crane had been carefully cared for: "This white crane is well taken care of."

Tongtian shared the same sentiment: "Right, I think so too. With such bright and shiny fur, and absorbing the spiritual energy of Kunlun Mountain every day, its meat must be incredibly delicious."

Hongyun and Tongtian exchanged a glance. They had eaten dragons, phoenixes, and qilin during the previous dragon-phoenix war, each with its own distinct flavor. Now that all three races were gone, and there weren't many noble creatures left in the primordial world suitable for barbecue, they couldn't very well eat the three-legged golden crows to death!

"It's been a long time since I've had barbecue, but this white crane is raised by Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, right...?" Is it okay to eat it?

Hongyun hesitated for a moment, after all, Zhen Yuanzi had given him several instructions before they set off. If he ate Yuanshi's crane as soon as he arrived at Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian would get beaten up again.

"Want some?" Tongtian asked generously, completely unconcerned whether he was the owner of the white crane.

Since that's the case, why was Hongyun being so hesitant? She nodded and said, "I want to!"

Tongtian chuckled and instructed Lu Ya, "Take your brothers up the mountain first and catch up with them at your residence!"

Lu Ya glanced at the white crane, somewhat hesitant. He was aware of his master's status in Kunlun Mountain; he was someone everyone was wary of, fearing that his Uncle-Master Yuanshi might accidentally injure someone while attacking him.

If he doesn't offer advice now, his master Yuanshi will likely punish him as well.

But if he tries to dissuade his master and displeases him, he will also suffer the consequences.

Oh dear~

Unlike Lu Ya's unease, Yu Heng, who was in his arms, also did not want to leave.

"Master, you're eating all this delicious food without us! We want to eat too!" Yuheng, taking advantage of her small size, didn't feel ashamed at all when she started to act cute.

Hongyun saw a hint of envy in Tongtian's eyes and laughed loudly, "You little rascal, you've got some nerve!"

Lu Ya quickly coaxed Yuheng, telling him not to try to steal food from the two sages anymore, since there was nothing delicious about that white crane!

Hongyun said to Lu Ya, "Take them up the mountain; you can't eat the white crane's meat!"

Yuanshi is a very petty person. He and Tongtian don't care, but if the younger generation also eats it, he will probably hold a grudge and punish them later.

Lu Ya quickly pulled Hui Yu along, and carrying Yu Heng, they headed up the mountain.

Tongtian looked at the children and chuckled, "They just want a few bites of meat, why don't you let them? There are so many white cranes, what's wrong with roasting a couple?"

Hongyun glared at Tongtian. He hadn't been so generous just now; wasn't he thinking the same thing as her?

"Then bake a few more and share them with your apprentices!"

Tongtian was taken aback upon hearing this, then exchanged a smile with Hongyun. With a wave of his hand, a white crane was enveloped in spiritual energy and brought to Tongtian's side.

The white crane's beak was sealed shut, and as its feathers fell out, it struggled and shook its head in pain, but could not make a sound.

Hongyun frowned, staring at the cruel and brainless Tongtian: "Can you kill it and pluck its feathers?"
