220: Section 220

When Lin Yi returned to the room, the chick was lying obediently inside the box.

It showed absolutely no intention of trying to escape.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled in satisfaction.

The next moment, the expression on Lin Yi's face gradually froze.

He saw various talent tags slowly emerging above the chick's head.

[Heaven-Defying Cultivation, a Yao Beast with 1-Star Realm]

[Intimidation (Blue): Causes Yao Beasts of a lower Realm to panic]

[Ancient Bloodline (Gold): Flows with the Bloodline of an Ancient Divine Bird]

[Ice Seal (Blue): Can Ice Seal any object within a ten-meter radius]

[Fire Control (Blue): Can manipulate flames]

When Lin Yi saw the chick's talent tags, his pupils constricted sharply.

Especially that [Ancient Bloodline] tag.

This was the first time Lin Yi had ever seen a talent tag involving a Bloodline.

"It really isn't an ordinary chick!"

"It actually possesses the Bloodline of a Divine Bird?"

Lin Yi looked at the chick lying obediently in the cardboard box, as if it had been tamed by him.

It was clear that a Legacy was important, and a Bloodline was just as important.

A chick with the Bloodline of an Ancient Divine Bird possessed 1-Star Cultivation the moment it broke out of its shell.

This was just like those Martial Artists with backgrounds and noble family origins.

From birth, they enjoyed all kinds of resources to Cultivate.

They never had to worry about such things, and every stage of their growth was a foregone conclusion.

Conversely, for ordinary people like Lin Yi,

wanting to stand out on any path required putting in much more effort than others.

This involved the importance of one's birth.

Being born into a good family could save at least ten years of detours.

Otherwise, one would have to struggle for an entire lifetime…

Lin Yi decided to raise this chick for now.

If it could be tamed into a pet in the future, that would be quite nice.

If it couldn't be tamed, then he would just slaughter it and snatch away all its talents in the process.

As it stood, the chick was at least relatively obedient for now.

Lin Yi moved the cardboard box into the bedroom.

He placed it under the nightstand, which made it convenient for Lin Yi to monitor its condition at all times.

When evening came, Lin Yi fed it some more millet.

Half a saucer of millet had just been put in, but before long, it had eaten it all.

Obviously, it hadn't eaten enough, as it stood in the box staring pitifully at Lin Yi.

It let out a series of 'chirp, chirp' sounds.

"You're still not full?"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp…"

Lin Yi smiled and nodded: "You wait here, I'll go get you some more!"

He went to the kitchen and filled up a little more millet.

After placing it back in the cardboard box, it ate it all up in the blink of an eye.

This chick wasn't big, but its appetite was certainly not small.

Lin Yi sighed softly and shook his head: "If you keep eating like this, I'm going to run out of food for you!"

However, Lin Yi didn't continue feeding it.

He was afraid that it didn't know when it was full and would just keep eating, eventually eating itself to death.

Lin Yi poured some water for it and placed it inside the box.

The chick walked over to the small saucer and tilted its head, looking at it with some curiosity.

The next moment.

There was a faint 'crack' sound.

The water in the saucer actually froze into ice, visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Lin Yi frowned and said: "This is water, not a toy for you to play with; it's for you to drink. Come, let me demonstrate for you…"

So, Lin Yi picked up his own water glass, deliberately slowed down his movements, and drank it sip by sip.

The chick was very intelligent.

After watching Lin Yi finish drinking the water intently,

it actually tried to imitate Lin Yi by using its wings to hold the saucer.

Lin Yi: "…"

After several attempts, it still ended in failure.

Finally, Lin Yi took out his phone and opened a short video app.

He entered the words [Chick Drinking Water], and all the relevant videos appeared.

Lin Yi placed the phone inside the box: "Come look at how others drink water. This is something you should know how to do naturally, right? Why is it that when it comes to you, water becomes a toy? You need to learn properly!"

The chick watched a fluffy little chick in the video standing in front of a ditch drinking water.

As a result, the chick let out a series of 'chirp, chirp, chirp' sounds.

The voice sounded sharp and angry.

Obviously, the chick seemed a bit angry.

No matter how it chirped, the chick in the video didn't react at all.

The next moment.

Lin Yi watched as his phone was Ice Sealed once again…

"Damn it, why did you Ice Seal my phone? It's fake, it's just a video…"

Lin Yi hurriedly took the phone out of the cardboard box.

Holding it in his hand felt like holding an ice cube.

An intense chill seeped into his marrow.

Lin Yi was surprised to discover that the things Ice Sealed by the chick had a frigid chill that was completely different from the cold of common ice cubes.

The cold of ice cubes was simply cold.

But the cold of the Ice Seal could seep into the marrow and drill into the gaps of one's bones.

If a living creature were to be Ice Sealed by this cold touch, the frigid chill would drill into its marrow, causing it to suffer immense pain.

If they were Ice Sealed for too long, neither human nor beast would be able to survive.

It was clear just how overbearing the chick's Ice Seal really was.

Lin Yi ran to the living room and found the hair dryer Tang Qinru had left behind.

It took a long time before he finally unsealed the phone.

He turned it back on to test it, and fortunately, it hadn't been frozen into a broken state.

Lin Yi anxiously opened a few more apps.

After confirming they still worked, he finally relaxed a little.

Returning to the bedroom, Lin Yi was just about to scold the chick a few times.

However, he saw it standing in the cardboard box, its eyes revealing a hint of fear and unease.

It was using its eyes to convey its emotions, just like a child who had done something wrong, trembling in fear…

The moment he saw it, all of Lin Yi's anger dissipated.

Sitting on the bed and looking at the chick in the cardboard box, he said: "From now on, you are not allowed to use your Ice Seal skill recklessly, and certainly do not destroy anything in the house!"

"If you don't want to drink water, just tell me directly. Aren't you able to communicate with me using your Divine Thought? You could do it while you were in the eggshell, so why can't you do it now?"

After saying these few words, the chick still stood there.

He didn't know if it had understood what he said.
