Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 248 The Kind-Hearted Weaver Bird (Part 2)
These strange birds were the ghosts of the demon race's magical birds. They were more sensitive to things that restrained them than other ghosts. Sensing the danger, they all stopped attacking and dodged Yang Nianqing's talismans. Birds were known for their speed, and for a time, Yang Nianqing's talismans couldn't catch up with them.

A strange blue light flashed in Fan Ruichen's eyes. The frantically dodging artifact birds suddenly felt a terrifying aura pressing down on them. Their movements paused, and in a matter of seconds, they were all caught up by Yang Nianqing's talismans. The talismans quickly grew larger and enveloped the artifact birds, turning each one into a three-dimensional lucky star, which scattered all over the ground.

The crisis was averted, and silence fell over the scene. Was it really resolved? The strange bird that they couldn't attack just moments ago was dealt with by Yang Nianqing in no time? Truly worthy of a Celestial Master! Xie Weiqi and Ren Chi looked at Yang Nianqing with a mixture of surprise and delight. This time, they were sure they would be alright!
Fan Ruichen smiled with satisfaction. Although Yang Nianqing could deal with these strange birds on her own, it would be better if she could use less spiritual power. She was in a special situation now, and he didn't want her to overuse her spiritual power like last time.

Ah Chen's mental abilities are getting stronger and stronger. He can control and suppress so many demon ghosts at the same time. Yang Nianqing took out a ghost-collecting bag, used his spiritual power to collect all the lucky stars into the bag, and recycled the remaining unused talismans.

"Why are there so many strange birds here? Are they ghosts?" Fan Meini asked, still shaken.

“This is a magical bird!” Mo Mo said solemnly.

"Sister Mo Mo, you know her?" Fan Meini looked at Mo Mo in confusion. As expected of her sister-in-law's good friend! She's really awesome!

Mo Mo nodded and said, "Legend has it that there is a demon in the demon race called the Qi Bird. It is entirely blue and is considered to be one of the more beautiful demons. Putting aside its good looks, every part of the Qi Bird is a treasure. It does not harm humans but is actually very beneficial because most of its parts can be used as medicine to save people with serious illnesses."

There's a saying that humans have that's very true, and Momo thinks it's especially fitting for the Weapon Bird: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Sometimes you may not have done anything wrong, but when you're covered in treasures, that's the kind of mistake that leads to the extinction of your entire race!
"Although the existence of the Weaver Bird is beneficial to humans, humans are not easy to get along with for the Weaver Bird. The Weaver Bird is gentle, peace-loving, and extremely kind. Its feathers are also excellent medicine, and even more effective for humans. In the beginning, the Weaver Bird was willing to help humans and other creatures." This was what the elder in the mountains told her. She had seen the Weaver Bird once when she was still a cat, but unfortunately, the Weaver Bird died soon after. It was during that time that she remembered the Weaver Bird's aura.

Mo Mo sighed, "Unfortunately, human greed is insatiable. Humans have broken the hearts of the Weaver Birds, and are even the root cause of their extinction." Speaking of this, I have to tell a story.

Mo Mo led the way, guiding them toward the place where the creatures gathered. As they walked, he recounted the story in detail: "As I just mentioned, the Weaver Bird is kind by nature and loves to help other creatures and humans. Usually, when they are sick, the Weaver Bird will pluck one of its feathers and give it to them. Once the feather leaves the Weaver Bird's body, it becomes a real medicine that melts in your mouth and is very effective. No matter what the illness, the Weaver Bird's feather is effective."

"In the beginning, humans were not so greedy. They were already very satisfied with a feather given to them by a bird. But greed is endless. When the feather was no longer useful, they began to think, since the feather has such good medicinal value, what about its flesh?"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned. Had these people done something bad to the Weapon Bird?
Mo Mo kept his eyes straight ahead and continued walking towards his destination, while also continuing to tell the story, "The birds saved the city lord of a city. In gratitude, the city lord specially bought a mountain and gave it to the birds. The birds then settled down there. People in the city often went to the mountain to ask the birds for feathers. The two groups got along quite well, but this also created hidden dangers."

Mo Mo looked around at the well-preserved ancient city. Could this be the town of the former city lord? "The Weaver Bird used to collect its shed feathers and give them to humans. I don't know how much time passed, but the old city lord died. Some people in the city slowly developed malicious intentions. They wanted to capture the Weaver Bird and make huge profits, but then a plague broke out in the city."

"Those who contract the plague are weak all over and have constant abdominal pain. Doctors cannot find the cause of the disease, and no medicine works. More and more people in the city are getting sick. At this time, the feathers of the Weaver Bird were used, and the people's illness improved a lot, but it was not completely cured. The feathers only provided temporary relief. I don't know who said that the flesh and blood of the Weaver Bird could cure the plague!"

"But the residents of this city have always been protected by the Weaver Bird and are unwilling to harm it. However, some people are persuaded by this claim. There was a family in the city whose only child had been born for generations and contracted a disease. No medicine was effective, and gradually the Weaver Bird's feathers disappeared. The child suffered in pain for many days and was almost on the verge of death. The elders in the family were very scared, so they went to the forest to catch the Weaver Bird!"

"Although the last person to go was seriously injured, they did manage to capture a Weaver Bird. The family gutted the Weaver Bird, stewed it over a fire, and the children who ate the meat and drank the soup miraculously recovered from their plague the next day, even feeling better than before. More and more residents in the city learned about this, and they organized themselves to go up the mountain to capture Weaver Birds, leading to the extinction of the Weaver Bird clan." Mo Mo sighed. In her opinion, the Weaver Bird clan should never have been born in the first place. What was wrong with living deep in the mountains? The Weaver Birds were too kind, yet they brought about their own annihilation.

“These magical birds probably died out in that disaster, which is why they hate humans so much and attack them indiscriminately whenever they see them,” Yang Nianqing said, glancing at the ghost-catching bag in his hand. The magical birds were covered in blood, and it was clear that their feathers had been plucked out by humans. It’s not hard to imagine what the magical birds went through in their lives.
Is that so? Then the bird's experience is too pitiful.

"Those people are so despicable!" Fan Meini said angrily.

Mo Mo nodded. "It was despicable, but they didn't get anything good out of it either. Those people cured their disease by eating the artifact bird, but they became even more greedy for it. They even organized a team to capture the artifact bird and make huge profits from it. After the artifact bird died, it was filled with resentment and its soul could not enter the cycle of reincarnation. It became a mindless evil spirit and killed all the residents of that town. So the artifact bird was wiped out by humans, and the original residents of the city were also wiped out by the artifact bird."

Both sides suffered heavy losses. Although they were both human, no one felt any sympathy for them. Humans harmed the life of the robot bird in order to survive. How innocent the robot bird was!

Alas, there is no shortage of such people in the world. You could even say that it is the inherent weakness of humanity. Most people are probably like this. How can right and wrong be clearly distinguished? It is precisely because of this that cause and effect exist in the world. Cause and effect cycle, retribution is inevitable. What is meant to come will come. The final outcome for the people of that town is not surprising at all.

"Since the Weapon Bird hates humans so much, why didn't it harm the humans who built the city before? After all, this city was quite prosperous more than twenty years ago." Ren Chi asked in confusion. He and his wife met in Zuo Zuo Town. He came to this town for tourism back then. The town was very prosperous. His wife was looking for someone. Because she couldn't read very well, she mistook Guijia Specialty Products for Dutian Restaurant. When she came in, she was bumped into and fell into his arms. That's how they met.

"I don't know." Mo Mo shook her head. This story was told to her by an old man in the forest. The old man didn't know what happened to the undead bird in the end, so she knew even less.

"Sister, why do you know so much about the demon race?" Gu Tangtang looked at Mo Mo suspiciously. Mo Mo stiffened slightly; his cousin Qingqing was quite perceptive.

Yang Nianqing turned to look at Gu Tangtang. The little girl was quite suspicious despite her young age. "Isn't it normal for her to know so much? All the major families have their own lineages, so it's not surprising that they know these things. It's the Gu family, who should know these things the most, who know nothing at all. In fact, their family lineage has been completely severed. If the ancestor knew, he would probably be furious!" Especially now that they know the Beast Taming Sect still has its lineage.

Gu Tangtang was taken aback. Should the Gu family know this? She didn't know! Gu Tangtang coughed twice, "Then, cousin, are your abilities supernatural?"

“It’s not superpowers, it’s family tradition. The Gu family is a Taoist family, proficient in everything from Qimen Dunjia and the Eight Trigrams to physiognomy, fortune telling, ghost catching, and exorcism. What can you do now? I think our ancestors would never have imagined that one day the real members of the Gu family would not know any of these things!” Yang Nianqing shook his head helplessly.

Gu Tangtang touched her nose, feeling inexplicably embarrassed. "Then how did you get the inheritance, cousin? Who did you learn it from?" She was very curious. Her sister had been switched at birth by Xu Daiqing's mother, so it wasn't surprising that she knew about the Xu and Gu families from Xu Daiqing's mother. But why would her sister say that? The Gu family was a Taoist family. Where did her sister learn her family's skills from? She grew up in the Gu family and didn't even know.

Yang Nianqing glanced at her. "Want to know?"

Gu Tangtang nodded quickly, please satisfy her curiosity!
Yang Nianqing nodded: "One day I'll take you to meet someone, and you'll know everything." Gu Tangtang has a talent for learning Taoist magic. Although she's considered late to the game now, it's not a difficult thing for Gu Lang. Gu Tangtang is a member of the Gu family. Since she has the talent to learn, she can learn from Gu Lang without embarrassing him too much. It's just that Gu Lang is quite strict, and Huanhuan and Lele haven't come out yet.

"Oh." Gu Tangtang nodded blankly. Who was she going to see?

A Taoist family? Xu Anyu knew that the Gu family was a first-class family in China, but he had never heard of Taoism. Speaking of which, he once saw a book in the Gu family's house. It recorded various medicinal herbs on a tree. In the real world, he had never even heard of them. His grandfather treasured it and kept it in his study.

"Hey, I once saw a book in my grandfather's study that recorded rare and precious treasures. It listed many amazing herbs, and their effects were so incredible I felt I could write a fantasy novel about them! I remember one in particular that left a deep impression on me, something like the Phoenix-Seeking Flower. It could revive the dead and heal bones! If the Gu family is a Taoist family, is what that book says true? Hahahaha..."

Xu Anyu himself found it funny to say this. How could such herbs possibly exist in the world? Those are things that only exist in fantasy novels.

"Oh!" Gu Tangtang pointed at Xu Anyu, "I've read it too! It's so fake! It's not realistic at all."

Yang Nianqing rubbed his head in exasperation. How had the Gu family fallen so low as to question the things left behind by their ancestors? "It's true! I went to the southwestern border this time to collect Phoenix Flowers!"

Really? Xu Anyu and his two brothers, along with Gu Rongrong and Gu Tangtang, stared at Yang Nianqing in astonishment. They had all read that book, but because the content was so outlandish, they didn't believe it was true at all. Now it was actually real! Oh my god!
Xie Weiqi also looked at Yang Nianqing in surprise. This time, the divination indicated that a rare and precious treasure would appear on the southwestern border. However, due to his health, he did not go, nor did he want to compete with many cultivators for this treasure. Was this Miss Yang Nianqing the final winner? This Celestial Master realm cultivator is indeed powerful!

The sun had already set, and the last ray of sunlight disappeared into the horizon. The atmosphere in Huaiqing City changed completely, quickly turning gloomy and eerie, and a cold wind began to blow.

Fan Meini and Gu Tangtang shivered. What happened? Why did it suddenly get cold?

Why is there a sudden gust of cold wind?
"Hehehe..." Suddenly, a strange laugh echoed through the place. The laughter was sometimes male and sometimes female. After the laughter stopped, a strong wind blew up, blowing up dust that made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Xu Youhan erected a barrier, and everyone felt much better.

"They finally managed to get some strangers in, and they're treating them like treasures. Human hearts are so ugly, greedy, and disgusting. They've suffered enough from humans before, so why are they protecting them like this? The only thing humans have to offer is that delicious heart! Heh heh heh..."

The eerie voice spoke chilling words, implying that she was a demon who ate human hearts.

"How ironic that the human heart is so ugly, yet so delicious! It's irresistible. Even if you set up a barrier, so what? Only allowing entry but not exit, doesn't that prove that you also hate humanity?" The male and female voices overlapped, giving everyone goosebumps. It was unclear who she was satirizing.

"So what? Why should I explain what I do to you!" Another voice echoed through the empty street.

It's still a two-in-one product.
