Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

"Didn't the boss promise not to speak ill of me?"

"Xiaoqi silencing you has nothing to do with me."

"That makes sense. The Divine Demon Capital is about to open, and this time it seems to be an exclusive dungeon for the Sakura Kingdom. Are you going?"

"I'll go to Zhejiang City first. You can go ahead of me; you might just stumble upon an opportunity."

"Boss, are you planning to sneak off to see a woman?"

"You deserve to be banned..."

With the new map about to open, extraordinary individuals from all over the world are flocking to it, including many members of Shanhe Yong'an. A large number of extraordinary individuals from the Dragon Kingdom have also bought tickets to the Sakura Kingdom.

Of course, those who already possessed divine status had little interest in the Divine Demon Capital.

For example, Su Jinyu and Zhao Yixue, instead of leveling up, should go to the Lost Continent and familiarize themselves with their own divine abilities.

Ye Hongling has been focusing on raising eggs lately.

Only Uesawa Sakura was the most enthusiastic, because this was a rare opportunity for her to obtain godhood!

And who knows... this trip to the God and Demon Capital might even allow me to see my brother, Uesawa Naoki.

Chen Nian arrived in Zhejiang City and went straight to Ye Hongling's house.

Her home is a classic mansion, not a high-rise building or villa, but more like a traditional courtyard house with a sense of history and style.

"Are you Miss's guest? Please come in."

Chen Nian was led by a maid into a fragrant woman's room. Then, to Chen Nian's surprise, the bookshelf was moved aside, revealing a hidden door.

There's even a hidden room? This house is impressive... No wonder it belongs to the Ye family.

Chen Nian followed them into the dark room, walked down a long corridor, and finally met Ye Hongling.

She was still wearing a stunning red dress, the vibrant color complementing her snow-white skin and her beautiful figure, creating a breathtaking sight.

"Hey, honey, you're here!" Ye Hongling greeted him with a light laugh.

"Don't shout that... I'm done for if Xiao Qi hears me one day."

"But you didn't go to the God and Demon Capital. If I'm not mistaken, then the Japanese girl must have gone."

"I promised to come see you, so of course you'll be my priority."

"Wow, that's quite the man! Come here, let me show you our little guy~"

Ye Hongling eagerly led Chen Nian over, where they saw a stove with the Vermilion Bird's eggs roasting on an iron rack.

"Aren't you afraid of getting cooked...?"

"This is the Vermilion Bird! It won't even hatch if the firepower isn't sufficient!"

"So how long until they hatch?"

"These past two days, the egg was entrusted to us by Suzaku, so I think we'll all be there when it hatches."

There's a saying that goes, "Women are born with maternal instincts."

Even a woman like Ye Hongling was no exception! She took meticulous care of the Vermilion Bird baby, staying by its side every step of the way, afraid that something might go wrong.

The two were having lunch the next day.

Suddenly, a cracking sound was heard!

The sound of an eggshell cracking.

Ye Hongling hurriedly went over to check, instinctively covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes seemingly sparkling.

"It's out... Chen Nian, come here quickly..."

"real?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't scare her..."

From within the eggshell, a small, orange-red head slowly emerged, like the rising sun shining warmly and brightly amidst the clouds.

The little Vermilion Bird gazed curiously at the world around it until the eggshell completely cracked, revealing its tiny body to the two of them.

"So cute!" Ye Hongling felt her heart melt.

"Chirp chirp..."

The little Vermilion Bird let out two chirps and then rubbed against Ye Hongling's hand in a friendly manner.

Chen Nian tentatively reached out his hand, and Zhuque was not averse to him either. She even chirped twice at him and fluttered her beautiful wings.

"It seems to be very friendly to us..."

"It must be because we both have the essence of the Vermilion Bird in our bodies," Chen Nian said.

At that moment, a crimson light simultaneously shone from Chen Nian and Ye Hongling!

"What's going on!"

"It's the divine power that the Vermilion Bird retained in its essence and blood..."

Crimson light intertwined in the air to form the phantom of the Vermilion Bird.

"Humans... thank you, it is you who gave me the opportunity to see my sister with my own eyes..."

"You kept your promise and allowed her to be born safely into this world, so I should repay you."

"In the last drop of my essence blood I give you, my primordial divine power is sealed. If you do not keep your promise, this divine power will dissipate on its own."

"But now, it belongs to you. I hope you can take good care of your sister from now on."

The phantom of the Vermilion Bird lowered its head and gently kissed its younger sister's blank head, but since it was just an illusion, it could only pass through.

"Chirp chirp..."

The younger sister seemed to sense something, fluttering her wings incessantly, her large eyes glistening with tears.

"Live well."

After uttering his last words, the phantom of the Vermilion Bird vanished completely.

Immediately, Chen Nian realized that the heat-generating energy in his body had exploded!

That is the purest primordial divine power of the Vermilion Bird!

It dissolved throughout my limbs and bones, completely merging into my aged blood...

The benefits brought by the primordial divine power are enormous!

Now, Chen Nian can directly mobilize the divine power in his blood and use the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire! He's not a fire-type class, so this is equivalent to getting a free ability, and it's a top-tier fire-type ability at that.

Chen Nian raised his index finger, and a beautiful flame immediately leaped from his fingertip, which he used at will... It was too powerful.

Of course, Ye Hongling also had advantages; her flames were more refined and their power became even more terrifying.

"Chirp, chirp!"

The little Vermilion Bird cried out helplessly a few times, as if it had already sensed that its brother had died.

"It's okay...we'll be here for you from now on."

Ye Hongling gently stroked the little guy's head. "From now on, you'll be called Xiao Zhu, okay?"

"Chirp chirp..."

"Good boy, good boy~~"

After calming Xiao Zhu down, Ye Hongling said to Chen Nian, "How was it? Did you make a killing this time?"

If Chen Nian hadn't come, the Vermilion Bird divine power within him would never have awakened.

"Thanks, you've been taking care of Zhuque all along, I owe you a favor," Chen Nian admitted with a smile.

"Heh, you've got quite a few romantic entanglements to settle, Chen Nian. Do you still have to pay them back?"

"By the way, what does Xiao Zhu want to eat? Shall I go get her something?"

"How would I know? You really think of me as your mother!" Ye Hongling said irritably.

So the two of them brought over a bunch of things.

Shredded pork, beef, rice, cat and dog food, canned food, milk...

Finally, it was discovered that this little guy liked to drink milk and eat eggs!

They could swallow an egg whole in one gulp, and the egg would get stuck in their throat like a ball, looking absolutely hilarious.

In the evening, Ye Hongling stroked Xiao Zhu's feathers and coaxed it to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhu was quite dissatisfied.

It flapped its wings but couldn't fly. Instead, it walked like a chicken to Chen Nian's side and used its beak to pull him over by his trouser leg.

Chen Nian: "What... what are you trying to do...?"

Ye Hongling: "I understand, it wants to sleep with its mom and dad."

Chen Nian: ?
