Golden-Winged Peng

Yun Xi’s pretty face was slightly blushed. She wanted to let go of Shi Hao’s arm, but she became even more alluring with her pink cheeks.

Her beautiful hair was bright and smooth, and her skin was fair and lustrous. She was in great shape as well. She was both alluring and ethereal. What a peerless beauty.

However, Shi Hao pulled her back, stopping her from letting go. “If you want to return to the village with me, you don’t have to be in such a hurry, right?”

Not far out, the pure-blooded creatures all looked offended. They saw that the Archaic Divine Mountain’s most famous goddess was so familiar with Shi Hao, and all of them were sulking.

“Where is my clan’s divine magical artifact?” Yun Xi asked as if she was extremely agitated. It was clear that she was hiding something from him.

Shi Hao was stunned. Why did she bring up that precious artifact as soon as they met again? No matter what, he wouldn’t hand it over, especially after Second Baldy’s reminder.

“Please return my precious artifact. I can use other things to exchange for it,” said Yun Xi. After seeing Shi Hao again after a year and a half, she was extremely excited. At the same time, she was also worried, fearing that he would refuse again.

“I thought you were going back to the village with me, but in the end, you still won’t drop that matter, so there’s no need to say anything else,” Shi Hao turned her down.

“What will it take for you to give it back to me?” Yun Xi asked, her excitement mixed with anger.

“Yun Xi, what exactly does he owe you? Tell us. With so many people here, I’m sure we can make things right for you,” said a teenager. He had just appeared and was walking over from outside the garden. He wasn’t much older than Shi Hao and came from the Archaic Divine Mountains.

He had golden hair, and even his eyes flickered with golden light. There was no arrogance on his face, but there was a glint in the depths of his eyes.

“This is a teenager from the Peng Clan.” Not far away, a few old cultivators were shocked. After realizing this teenager’s background, they were all horrified.

It was because the Golden-Winged Peng was one of the most powerful races in this world. It was known to be able to devour deities, sweeping through everything in its path, and looking down on the archaic era.

Not only did this race eat gods and devils, but they themselves were also deified. Moreover, there were more than one or two clansmen who were conferred the title of heavenly deity. From the archaic times to the near ancient times, they were always ranked among the most powerful clans in the wasteland region.

Why was the archaic Golden Winged Peng so powerful? It was because he was Kun Peng’s own son with the most powerful bloodline. Even though he couldn’t be ranked among the Vicious Ten, he was still powerful.

“You must be Brother Shi, the supreme teenager. I’ve heard a lot about you.” The young man cupped his hands and was quite polite.

Shi Hao nodded, not saying anything. Right now, he was on par with the older generation kings, so his attitude wouldn’t be considered impolite. This was an era where the strong were respected.

A divine light flashed through the golden-haired teenager’s eyes. He could be considered an astonishing genius. Even when the older generation saw him, they would praise him a few times. He didn’t expect Shi Hao to only nod at him, making him feel very uncomfortable.

“Brother Shi, what exactly did you take from Yun Xi? Please return it to her.”

“You don’t even know what I took from her, yet you want me to return it to her. Are you sure I owe her something?” Shi Hao calmly replied.

He could tell that this pure-blooded teenager was very proud. Although he didn’t behave rudely, he was only holding back his temper.

“Yun Xi already said that you owed her a magical artifact, so how could she be wrong?” The teenager said. He looked at Shi Hao, not feeling any fear.

Right now, Shi Hao’s might was shocking. Even the older generation figures felt intimidated, let alone the younger ones. In the current great environment, he was practically invincible.

All creatures felt that they should avoid him and felt great reverence toward him.

In fact, everyone believed that no one dared to provoke him, but now, a golden-winged Peng appeared. Even though he wasn’t against Shi Hao, he seemed to want to reason with the latter. This immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Did he want to challenge Shi Hao? Many people felt a wave of excitement.

“If I said I left a stalk of holy medicine in your clan, can you please return it to me?” The big red bird chimed in. “Just because a person makes a request, does it have to be true? Since that’s the case, please return me a stalk of holy medicine.”

Everyone was surprised. Was this a tit-for-tat confrontation?

“You are being unreasonable.” The golden-haired teenager gave the big red bird a look and then looked at Shi Hao. “Brother Shi clearly owes Yun Xi a precious artifact, so how can he not return it? With Brother Shi’s current status, I’m sure you won’t deny it, right?”

Everyone was shocked. He really dared to speak.

Soon afterward, some people understood the reason. It was most likely not only because of that purple-clothed beauty but also because he was a Peng, while Shi Hao possessed the Kun Peng precious technique.

“That’s right! That must be it!”

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. There might be another great storm today! Everyone knew the Peng Clan’s background.

It was rumored that this clan’s greatest hope was to find Kun Peng’s perfect inheritance and wouldn’t allow it to fall into the hands of outsiders. Right now, there were rumors that Shi Hao might have obtained the Kun Peng technique, so it would naturally alarm the Golden-Winged Peng Race.

Even though this bloodline was extremely few in number, every single one of them was terrifying. They were known to be one of the most powerful pure-blooded creatures. If this was the clan’s intention, they might disregard the consequences and go after Shi Hao.

Some supreme experts might even risk their lives and jump out of the sealed mountain gate.

“Why do I need you to tell me what to do?” Shi Hao only gave him a cold look as if he didn’t care at all.

The blond teenager was indignant. That was such a contemptuous attitude. He had said so much, but Shi Hao didn’t care at all, nor was he angry because Shi Hao didn’t treat him as someone of the same level.

Then, Shi Hao turned around and looked at Yun Xi, saying, “Your grandfather owed me that thing. Didn’t we make things clear last time? Why do you still want it?”

Yun Xi refused to let go of him, afraid that he would leave. That artifact was of great importance. Only when they were paired together could they form a key to open the dusty door.

In fact, Shi Hao had long sensed this as well. When he returned to the village, Second Baldy already told him that he couldn’t give the magical artifact to the other party. He should get them a bit more anxious because it was too important.

Shi Hao already guessed that Second Baldy was most likely forced to hide in the Hundred Shattering Mountains because he knew the Celestial Clan’s secrets.

The truth wasn’t much different from what he expected. Now, the people of Divine Mountain finally learned that secret, but it was too late for regrets. That most important key was unexpectedly given out by them and had fallen into Shi Hao’s hands.

That was like hitting a dog with meat. There was no return.

“I’m willing to exchange it with other divine artifacts!” Yun Xi said.

If it wasn’t related to a great secret that involved the so-called “Divine Realm”, she wouldn’t have lost her sense of propriety like this. She feared that she would miss this opportunity.

“No!” Shi Hao shook his head and refused.

“Brother Shi, that’s not right. That was originally a treasure of the Heavenly God Mountain. It’s a little unreasonable for you to take it for yourself like this.” The blond teenager spoke again.

“I’m not an unreasonable person. You saw it too. Yun Xi admitted it herself that the artifact belonged to me. She just wants to exchange it. Why is an outsider like you interfering?” Shi Hao’s eyes emitted divine light. He stared at the teenager, and his tone immediately became stern. “You keep talking about all this nonsense. Do you think I won’t kill you?”

At this moment, he revealed his sharpness. The light in his eyes was astonishing. A sharp aura actually forced the blond teenager to retreat uncontrollably. His heart trembled, and he felt a chill.

Even though he was a Golden-Winged Peng, when facing Shi Hao, he still felt a bit unconfident.

The teenager was indignant. He shouted, “Who said I’m an outsider? Yun Xi is going to be my sister-in-law. Why can’t I fight for her?”

“Nonsense. I have nothing to do with your race,” Yun Xi retorted.

“It’s him. Has he returned?” Someone said softly as if he knew what kind of situation this was.

“I’ve heard that the Golden-Winged Rocs went to the Celestial Race to propose marriage to Yun Xi.” At some point, two pure-blooded creatures came to the garden and discussed between themselves.

“That person really came back. He’s known as the Archaic Divine Mountains’ most powerful genius!” Someone sucked in a cold breath of air.

Soon, everyone knew what was going on. The blond teenager’s brother had gone out to train many years ago and had finally returned to the wasteland.

“I’ve heard rumors about him before!” The Nine-Headed Lion said. Even he had heard of him, which showed just how powerful the Peng Clan’s expert was.

Shi Hao also came to a sudden realization. He knew what kind of figure that was. In the past, when he fought with pure-blooded creatures, Yun Xi had said that perhaps only one or two people from the various Archaic Divine Mountains could match him. Unfortunately, those two geniuses had gone to the outer realms.

Obviously, one of them was the top genius of the Golden-Winged Peng Clan, and he was also somewhat related to Yun Xi.

“The elders of my clan have already gone to the Divine Mountain to propose marriage. Moreover, my brother is here today,” the golden-haired teenager said. There was a hint of confidence and pride in his expression.

Obviously, he admired his brother and believed in his strength.

Shi Hao was also curious. He also wanted to see the teenager’s older brother. After all, he was a genius who had previously walked out of the wasteland region and was able to make the pure-blooded creatures of the great divine mountains admire him. He definitely had some outstanding aspects.

Especially when he had heard of how powerful those two people were a long time ago.

A strange fluctuation surged, and then a golden ripple appeared. There was another person in the garden. Many people didn’t see how he walked over. It was as if he appeared out of thin air.

Only Shi Hao remained calm because he could already tell that this was the Golden-Winged Peng’s extreme speed movement technique. It was indeed ridiculously fast.

“Yun Xi, long time no see. How have you been?” asked the young man.

Everyone sighed. This man was so handsome. His golden hair was like a divine sun, and his figure was well-proportioned and strong. He was an extremely charismatic handsome man.

“I have nothing to do with you.” Yun Xi said, hugging Shi Hao’s arm again.

Shi Hao frowned. At this moment, he completely understood. Not only did Yun Xi want the armguard back, but she also wanted to get rid of this golden-haired man by using Shi Hao’s power.

However, he quickly relaxed his brows and didn’t say anything.

“Please stop coming to me,” Yun Xi said calmly to the blond man.

When Shi Hao heard this, his eyebrows jumped up and down. He didn’t want to be used by others. Smelling the alluring fragrance in her hair, and then looking at those fair ears that were extremely close to him, he thought back to his experiences at the Hundred Shattering Mountains. He forgot about where he was, and just like in the past, he took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her. Then, he bit her ear.
