136: The nine-colored plum blossoms bloom, and the rooster suppresses the bald eagle

The already scarce earth core milk was Fast Digestion by Yang Dian.

Six drops... five drops... four drops... three drops... As he finished digesting the sixth drop of earth core milk and was about to reach for the last drop, a rooster's crow, sounding as if from the darkness, capable of summoning the great sun and radiating endless vitality, suddenly echoed from the backyard.

"Ooh ooh ooh~~~"

Yang Dian's action of opening the jar paused. Just as he was wondering if his big rooster had truly become a Mutant, an eagle's cry immediately followed the crow.

"Screech~~~"

At the same time, a piercing whooshing sound came from the sky.

A refreshing plum blossom fragrance also drifted in through the window, reaching Yang Dian's nose.

'The plum blossom has bloomed?'

"Bang~"

Realizing something was trying to snatch his heaven and earth treasures, Yang Dian directly carried the box, smashed through the window, and jumped into the backyard.

Before he even landed, he saw the Bald Eagle being pinned to the ground by his own big black rooster.

"Well done, Big Old Black!"

After praising the big rooster, Yang Dian picked up some gravel from the ground and threw it at the birds that had landed on the branches, preparing to peck at the plum blossom.

After driving away the birds, Yang Dian didn't hesitate. He immediately opened the box, took out a large glass bottle he had prepared earlier, and with his hands moving like blurs, began picking the plum blossom.

In less than a minute, a total of 439 plum blossom petals were picked by Yang Dian and placed into 9 glass bottles according to their different colors.

Even with his haste, he was still a bit slow.

Two light yellow plum blossom had been stolen by some unknown creature.

His gaze swept over the Bald Eagle, which had been completely subdued by his big rooster.

Looking at the remaining stamens on its claws, Yang Dian raised an eyebrow.

It was probably this foolish eagle, oblivious to its own mortality.

Unscrewing a glass bottle and taking out three plum blossom, Yang Dian immediately offered the plum blossom to the big rooster's beak:

"Well done, Chicken Bro."

"Did you really become a Mutant? You can even pin a little eagle like this to the ground, that's amazing."

The big rooster looked up, glanced at Yang Dian, then flapped its wings, pushing away Yang Dian's hand that was extended to its beak.

Finally, it pecked the Bald Eagle on the head once more before hopping away, leisurely patrolling the backyard like a king.

Looking down at the plum blossom in his hand, Yang Dian was stunned.

"This feeling, it's a heaven and earth treasures."

"How can it be disliked?"

In his confusion, the Bald Eagle, whose wings had been broken by the big rooster, struggled to stand up, stretching its neck and hopping towards the plum blossom in Yang Dian's hand.

"So it's not that the heaven and earth treasures are not attractive."

"Is it that my Big Old Black is special?"

Stepping on the Bald Eagle's head, Yang Dian was a bit perplexed.

What had this rooster, raised by his mother, gone through to make it disregard heaven and earth treasures?

"Could it be worried that this is a last meal, fearing that if it eats it, I'll really slaughter it?"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Dian carried the box and jumped back into the room, then returned to the backyard with a small iron can.

Then he opened the iron can, squatted down, and leaned towards the big rooster:

"Big Old Black, want some earth core milk?"

"Don't worry, earth core milk is much more expensive than you are; it's not a last meal."

The big rooster glanced at Yang Dian, then once again extended its wing and pushed away Yang Dian's hand.

Just then, Yang Lele poked her head out of the window:

"Brother~ what are you making all that racket for?"

"Huh, why is your window broken again?"

"Ah? Why are the plum blossom buds on the Plum Tree gone? Did the plum blossom bloom?"

Yang Dian's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Lele, or rather, when he saw the sleepy-eyed Little Black Cat in Yang Lele's arms. He lightly leaped onto Yang Lele's room window:

"Give me Xiao Heizi."

As he spoke, he had already jumped back into the backyard before Yang Lele could react.

After shaking the Little Black Cat for a long time, the little fellow, who had been inhaling catnip all night, finally opened its hazy, somewhat dull eyes:

"Human, was there an earthquake? I'm so dizzy."

As soon as it finished speaking, its eyes instantly cleared, and its limbs began to flail irregularly:

"Human, where's my ball, where's my ball!"

Yang Dian reached out and flicked its head:

"Still talking about your ball? You haven't even seen what you've inhaled into; still want to inhale more?"

"From now on, you can only lick it once a day at most. Licking too much will easily turn you into a silly kitten."

The Little Black Cat immediately became dejected, slumping limply in Yang Dian's hand:

"Human, you're so cruel."

Yang Dian flicked it again, then opened the iron can and held the earth core milk in front of the big rooster:

"Big Old Black, why won't you eat the earth core milk?"

"Cluck~~~"

After a low cluck, it once again pushed away Yang Dian's hand and walked off on its own.

As it passed the Bald Eagle struggling on the ground, it even extended a chicken claw and kicked it.

Watching the Bald Eagle's head get kicked into the dirt, its body twitching, Yang Dian's expression involuntarily scrunched into a ' Embarrassment' character.

"It won't be kicked to death by one claw, will it...?"

He muttered, then shook the Little Black Cat in his hand:

"What did Big Old Black just say?"

"It translated that today it will let you lick your ball one more time."

The Little Black Cat instantly perked up.

"Human, really?"

Only after receiving Yang Dian's confirmation did the Little Black Cat struggle free from Yang Dian's large hand, jump onto his shoulder, and rub its head against his neck.

"Human, I know you're the best."

Yang Dian was a bit exasperated:

"Don't try to be cute with me; translate what Big Old Black said."

"Human, the rooster said that true powerhouses don't need any external help to fly high into the sky and dance alongside the great sun."

Yang Dian was shocked.

"My mom also raised a self-reliant fighting rooster?"

Amidst his surprise, Yang Lele, wearing slippers, came scurrying behind Yang Dian:

"Brother, did the plum blossom bloom? You didn't even call me!"

"Huh, why is there an eagle here?"

"Brother, why did you beat the eagle like this? This is a protected species! Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"

"Oh, you're a captor now, so it's fine."

Reaching out to flick Yang Lele's head, Yang Dian pointed to the big rooster that was patrolling its territory nearby:

"I didn't hit it; Big Old Black did."

Yang Lele gave him a 'you're kidding me' look:

"Brother, don't tease me."

"This eagle's wingspan is almost three meters, right? It could swallow Big Old Black in one bite. How could Big Old Black fight it?"

After speaking, seeing Yang Dian's expression remain unwavering, Yang Lele said with some disbelief:

"Brother, could it be that Big Old Black Awakened some ability and became a Mutant creature?"

Hearing this, Yang Dian suddenly remembered something:

"Last time the plum blossom bloomed, did Big Old Black eat any plum blossom?"

"Big Old Black ate the most!" After muttering, she seemed to remember something else:

"Oh, last time, besides Big Old Black, there was also a Bald Eagle that ate plum blossom."

"It looked very similar to this one, just not as big."

"When I was picking plum blossom, that Bald Eagle even tried to peck me. It was Big Old Black, along with Little Yellow and Da Huang, who chased it away."

Case closed.

This big rooster, Big Old Black, likely Awakened when it ate the plum blossom last time.

As for what innate ability it Awakened?

Yang Dian couldn't tell yet, but its strength was definitely not small.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to pin down a Bald Eagle with a three-meter wingspan and break both its wings.

He extended his foot and nudged the Bald Eagle.

It was still breathing.

'I wonder if this Bald Eagle also Awakened.'

'Probably not, otherwise it wouldn't have been beaten so badly.'

'Hmm, last time Silly Younger Sister said that Da Huang and Little Yellow also ate plum blossom. I wonder if they will become Mutants.'

'I'll use the detector to check them later.'

Thinking this, Yang Dian went to the Plum Tree and patted its trunk.

'Also, I don't know why the Plum Tree suddenly bloomed.'

'There was no sign of it blooming before.'

Recalling the changes that had occurred in the past two days, Yang Dian had another guess.

'Could it be due to the second Spiritual Qi tide, or the spatial dimension folding and erosion?'

Yang Dian thought both were possible, but whether they were or not, he would know when the third Spiritual Qi tide or the next spatial dimension folding and erosion occurred.

"I also don't know when the third Spiritual Qi tide will begin."

Leaning close to the big rooster, grabbing its neck and shaking it constantly, he mumbled, "Big Old Black, when did you Awaken, why didn't you take me with you?" Yang Lele didn't hear Yang Dian's murmur and turned her head to ask:

"Brother, what did you say?"

Yang Dian waved his hand:

"Nothing, go play."

"Oh~" Yang Lele was about to turn back and continue shaking the big rooster's neck.

But the big rooster, taking advantage of her inattention, suddenly shook its head, escaped her grasp, flapped its wings, flew onto the rooftop, and sang loudly towards the sun:

"Ooh ooh ooh~~~"

"Oh dear, Brother, don't you think Big Old Black's crowing is getting louder and louder?"

"If it crows a few more times, I won't even get a chance to sleep in."

Yang Dian glanced at her sideways.

"Still sleeping in?"

"School starts in two days; you can still sleep in?"

Yang Lele was stunned.

"Oh no, I haven't done my summer homework yet."

"Brother, quickly help me with my homework!"

Yang Dian pushed away Yang Lele's hand:

"Do your own things yourself."

"Also, you need to do your homework, but you can't forget to practice martial arts either."

"No, Brother, just help me with some homework, I really can't finish it alone."

Saying this, Yang Lele jumped onto Yang Dian's back again:

"If you don't help me, I won't get down."

"Anyway, it's not me who'll get beaten by Mom for not submitting homework, so it's up to you."

"Ah ah ah~"

"Hateful smelly Zhong Deng..."

Amidst their playful bickering, Yang Dian heard the front yard gate being pushed open.

Along with it, his mother He Mei's grumbling voice echoed:

"When there's work, they won't help, but now that there's benefits, they come flocking. Where do they get such nerve?"

"Yang Yong, I'm telling you, if you dare to speak up for them, we really can't live like this anymore."

Standing in the backyard, Yang Dian listened to Yang Yong's soft agreement and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Next, will it be the clichéd face-slapping scene from novels?"
