My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

"Click—"

The crisp cracking sound was amplified infinitely in the quiet, almost silent hall.

The head of the Luo family stared wide-eyed, his breath catching in his throat.

The teacup in Luo Qingyi's hand shook violently, and a few drops of scalding tea splashed onto the back of her hand, but she was completely unaware.

All the elders of the Luo family in the main hall stood up from their seats in unison.

Dozens of eyes were fixed on the huge spirit egg on the table.

All that could be seen was the surface of the eggshell covered with golden flame-like patterns.

A fine crack is spreading outwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A faint wisp of golden light, yet imbued with boundless panic and a will to survive, peeked out from the crack.

"This...how is this possible?!"

The eldest elder of the Luo family was trembling, and his voice sounded as if he had seen a ghost.

"Our Luo family ancestors used countless rare and precious materials and even brought in the fire from the earth's core to nurture this phoenix spirit egg for over a thousand years, but it remained completely unresponsive."

"It...it actually cracked today?!"

Those present were all shrewd individuals from the cultivation world; they could easily see through the clues.

This spirit egg, possessing ancient bloodlines, clearly understood the insane "cooking plan" just now.

Boiled? Stir-fried? And made into a super-sized spiced braised egg?!

This isn't hatching; it's clearly being prepared as a snack to go with drinks!

Under the extreme fear of life and death.

This spirit egg, which had been dormant for a thousand years, was abruptly awakened by a little girl's recipe!

If it doesn't hurry up and hatch to prove its worth, it might end up taking a bath in the pot with star anise and cinnamon tonight.

However, looking at this spirit egg struggling to hatch...

Sizi pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Oh dear, the shell is all broken."

The little girl sighed with some regret.

"I can't boil the eggs now. If I put them in the pot, the yolks will definitely leak out. Looks like I'll have to break them up and make egg pancakes instead."

This statement came out.

The spirit egg on the table suddenly trembled violently.

The golden light shining through the cracks even flickered with a human-like quality, conveying desperate cries.

"Pfft—Hahaha!"

Seeing this absurd and comical scene, the Luo family patriarch, who was still in shock, suddenly burst into laughter.

Immediately afterwards, all the elders in the hall joined in with good-natured laughter.

The gloom that had been suppressed for more than a decade was completely dispelled because of Luo Qingyi's recovery.

At this moment, the entire Luo family adored their beautiful little benefactor to the core.

"Little fairy, you are so interesting and adorable!"

The head of the Luo family laughed until tears almost streamed down his face. He respectfully picked up a cup of celestial wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Now that I've given you this spirit egg, whether you make braised eggs or egg pancakes is entirely up to you, little fairy!"

Hearing someone compliment her on being cute.

Sizi proudly raised her little chin, and the two little buns on her head swayed back and forth.

"Mmm! I think I'm cute too!"

The little girl turned her head and tugged at Li Chen's sleeve.

With bright, sparkling eyes seeking approval, she asked, "Sixteenth Brother, don't you think I'm the cutest person in the world?"

Li Chen held his forehead with one hand and rubbed her head with a look of utter despair.

All I could do was give a curt reply: "Yes, yes, you're the cutest. You're the most troublesome person in the whole Tang Dynasty."

Just then.

"Plop—"

A loud swallowing sound rang out on Sizi's shoulder.

Before anyone knew it, the little chick had popped out of the spatial bag.

This talkative, colorful rooster was staring intently at the phoenix spirit egg on the table with its cross-eyed eyes.

The drool dripping from the corner of his mouth was almost forming a glistening thread.

"Master...Master!"

The little chick was so excited that its feathers bristled.

It flapped its wings and jumped onto the table, scrambling and crawling towards the rhinoceros.

"This egg! This egg contains the supreme destiny of my avian race!"

The little chicken clasped its wings together and bowed repeatedly to the rhinoceros in an extremely obsequious manner.

"Please, Master, grant me this egg! If you give me this egg, I will be your most loyal hen from now on!"

"Born to be the cult leader's chicken, dead to be the cult leader's roasted chicken! You tell me to go east, I'll never go west; you tell me to crow, I'll never lay an egg!"

Looking at the little chicken's drooling and incoherent expression...

Sizi wiped the drool off the table with disgust.

"Alright, alright, since you want it so badly, here you go. One more won't hurt making an egg pancake anyway."

"Thank you so much, Master!"

The little chick let out a sharp, long cry, so excited it almost fainted.

It opened its beak without hesitation.

It pecked hard at the huge spirit egg that was struggling to hatch!

"Snap!"

The eggshell shattered completely.

A surge of pure, golden phoenix essence, like a liquid flame, was instantly absorbed into the little chicken's stomach.

next second.

"boom!"

A dazzling seven-colored divine light suddenly burst forth from the little chicken's body.

Before it could even utter a single unnecessary word, its entire body was enveloped by this immense power, transforming directly into a dazzling cocoon of light taller than a person.

On the surface of the cocoon, the faint image of a phoenix could be seen circling and crying.

"Huh? The little chicken has turned into a big ball of light!"

Si Zi curiously poked the light cocoon and found it to be hard as a rock.

She didn't care, casually opened her pink spatial bag, and stuffed the huge cocoon of light inside like a toy.

This series of operations was executed flawlessly.

The Luo family members were once again dumbfounded.

That's ancient phoenix bloodline! How could you just casually feed it to a seemingly unreliable rooster?

However, their benefactor's ways were unfathomable, so they naturally dared not ask any further questions.

"Open the feast! Play the music!"

With a wave of his hand, the Luo family patriarch restored the lively atmosphere to the main hall.

The sounds of string and wind instruments were melodious and pleasant, and fine wines and delicacies were served on the table as if flowing water.

To express their gratitude to their benefactor, the Luo family practically emptied out all the top-grade spiritual materials in the kitchen.

Si Zi sat on the large, soft couch and ate heartily, letting his belly run loose.

With a bird's leg in his left hand and a piece of crystal cake in his right, he ate with great relish.

Luo Qingyi sat gently beside her, occasionally wiping the grease from the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of affection.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

The atmosphere inside the main hall became increasingly harmonious and warm.

Holding his wine glass, the head of the Luo family, emboldened by the alcohol, finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been weighing on his mind for so long.

"My benefactor."

The head of the Luo family stood up and looked at Li Chen with utmost respect.

"May I ask, if I may?"

"You and the little fairy possess extraordinary cultivation and unfathomable abilities. May I ask which reclusive immortal sect or supreme holy land you haile from?"

"If you don't mind, please inform me, so that the Luo family will have a direction to worship in the future."

This problem has arisen.

All the elders in the main hall put down their wine cups and pricked up their ears.

They were extremely curious about the origins of the brother and sister.

He heard someone ask about his origins.

Si Zi was originally engrossed in eating a large chicken leg.

The movement suddenly stopped.

An unprecedentedly fervent light suddenly burst forth in the little girl's big, dark eyes.

That kind of light is called "being in the mood".

"Gulp."

Sizi swallowed the chicken in her mouth with force.

She pushed aside the bowls and plates in front of her, stepped onto the soft couch, and stood gracefully on the table.

Two small hands, stained with oil, were firmly placed on their hips.

On her exquisitely beautiful face, she wore a serious yet proud expression.

"Since you've asked so sincerely!"

Si Zi's clear voice suddenly rang out in the hall, drowning out all the music.

I heard this incredibly familiar opening line.

Li Chen, who was sitting next to him, suddenly trembled as he held his wine glass.

He spilled the divine wine all over his hand.

He was struck dumb, and his expression froze instantly.

A strong, suffocating sense of impending doom washed over me like a tsunami.

"I'll be merciful and tell you!"

Sizi raised her chin, her voice growing louder and louder, filled with youthful, chuunibyou-esque enthusiasm.

Li Chen gasped.

He closed his eyes in despair, covered his face with one hand, and turned his head to the other side in agony.

It’s over.

It's all over.

This girl is about to launch into that set of "cult" manifestos that sends chills down his spine!
