Thank you, BlueMoon, for the ko-fi~
Before leaving, Feng Yuan had made a pinky promise with his dad.
He would play outside for a while, and then his dad would come to pick him up.
Not long after leaving his nest, Feng Yuan ran into the divine beasts who had previously wanted to take him home and raise him.
They gathered him up and surrounded him, each one looking at him with utter adoration.
“Yuan Yuan, has your dad accepted you?”
A divine beast asked him, “Is your dad going to raise you from now on?”
Feng Yuan nodded.
He tilted his little chubby face up and replied in a soft, milky voice, “Dad is raising Yuan Yuan!”
Even if his dad hadn’t remembered him yet, his dad would still raise him.
Unlike Big Dad!
Thinking of the cold and indifferent Big Dad, Feng Yuan’s little chubby face almost scrunched up in anger again.
Fortunately, the Flower Goddess brought him some small pastries made from nectar just in time, letting him have a couple of bites.
Everyone was extremely curious about him.
“Yuan Yuan, who is your mother?”
“Is your mother a divine beast, too? Or some goddess?”
“Can we go see your mother?”
The barrage of questions left Feng Yuan unsure how to answer.
Feng Yuan didn’t mention Big Dad.
He let out a little “Mmm,” then randomly hugged a divine beast auntie and changed the subject. “Yuan Yuan wants to play here. Can you take Yuan Yuan to play?”
“Of course.”
The crowd of divine beasts and gods was all very friendly toward him.
They began to show him around the World of Mountains and Seas.
Feng Yuan even saw the Qiong Qi that lived here.
The Qiong Qi was perplexed to find its own scent on him.
The little fellow copied him, lowering his head to sniff himself.
“Uncle Qiong Qi, you left your scent on Yuan Yuan to protect Yuan Yuan.”
Feng Yuan was also very fond of this Qiong Qi.
He even shuffled closer. He climbed onto the Qiong Qi, hugged its head, and planted a loud kiss on it.
After the kiss, he slid down the Qiong Qi’s massive body as if it were a slide, zipping down with a swoosh.
The entire sequence of movements was as smooth and fluid as flowing water.
The divine beasts who had brought him to play were all dumbfounded.
The Qiong Qi, whose head had just been kissed and body used as a slide by the little phoenix, was also completely bewildered.
After his slide, Feng Yuan waved his small, chubby hands and had a divine beast auntie carry him away.
He was off to play some more.
In less than half a day, Feng Yuan had already built a good relationship with a host of divine beasts.
He was a sweet-talker, calling everyone “Uncle” and “Auntie”, which made them all incredibly happy.
After playing with the adults for a while and seeing that his dad still hadn’t come for him, Feng Yuan found some young cubs to play with.
Rong Rong and Qin Xun hadn’t come in with him.
When it came to playing, the little guy actually preferred playing with other children.
Seeing them playing together, the adults stopped crowding around.
“Hey, little fatty, you’re new, aren’t you? I’ve never seen you before.”
Once the adults were gone, a little fierce beast cub among the young ones dropped its friendly act toward Feng Yuan.
The fierce beast cub called Feng Yuan “little fatty”.
He kept calling him “little fatty” and demanded that Feng Yuan listen to him obediently.
He said he could protect Feng Yuan.
The moment the fierce beast cub said this, Feng Yuan’s chubby little face darkened.
Whether in the alleys of Huasheng Street or at Little Sun Kindergarten, Feng Yuan was a cub who had never been anyone’s underling.
He was the boss on Huasheng Street and the king of the kindergarten.
This little fierce beast dared to challenge his status!
Feng Yuan was furious.
He transformed on the spot into a battle chick, wasting no more words on the fierce beast cub.
“Chirp!”
Flapping his short, stubby wings, he charged straight into battle!
The battle chick was rich in fighting experience. The little flames he spat were formidable.
The fierce beast cub, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, was burned bald.
Beaten and burned, the fierce beast cub wailed and cried.
The other cubs who had wanted to be fierce were also beaten up by Feng Yuan.
After beating up a group of cubs, Feng Yuan sat right on top of the little fierce beast.
His chubby little body pressed down on the little fierce beast until its eyes rolled back in its head.
“Chirp!”
From now on, I’m the boss!
After chirping his announcement, Feng Yuan asked the group of cubs if they submitted.
The cubs had been thoroughly beaten into submission.
One by one, the defeated cubs dejectedly called him Boss.
Having become the boss, Feng Yuan finally moved his chubby little body off the fierce beast cub’s back.
He stood before the group of cubs and lifted his chin.
“I’m the boss now. I’ll protect you.”
“If you get bullied, I’ll help you, too.”
The newly appointed Boss Yuan Yuan was very impressive. He distributed the candy he had brought from the outside world to these little cubs.
There wasn’t much candy. Ever since he got a cavity, Feng Yuan’s candy intake had been restricted.
This was all from his secret stash.
The cubs had never tasted this kind of candy before. Their eyes lit up the moment it was in their mouths.
“Delicious!”
“This is so yummy! The sweetness is almost as good as the honey from the Bee King’s house.”
Feng Yuan had just tasted nectar, but he hadn’t had honey yet.
Upon hearing that the Bee King’s honey was delicious, he immediately started asking about it.
The cubs all started talking about the Bee King at once.
“The Bee King is so mean. He loves to sting people!”
“That’s right. His honey is delicious, but you have to trade something very, very valuable for it.”
“He also steals things! I went to trade for honey. I gave him my thing, but he didn’t give me any honey!”
All the cubs despised the Bee King.
When Feng Yuan heard that his newly acquired underlings had been bullied by the Bee King, he puffed out his little chest, ready to get even for them.
“Such a mean Bee King! Let’s go, we’ll teach him a lesson!”
Feng Yuan was a cub of action.
His execution was swift. On the way to find the Bee King, he had already formulated a plan to deal with him.
The little cubs all followed his commands.
Under Feng Yuan’s arrangement, a little cub went to trade for honey, carrying an item.
Seeing that it was just a small cub coming for honey, the Bee King indeed had another wicked idea.
He planned to snatch the item and give no honey again.
The child who came to trade was prepared. Before the Bee King could snatch his item, he mentioned that he had another good thing.
He said Shao Hao had given him a small magical artifact.
Could he trade for more honey with a small magical artifact from Shao Hao?
Hearing the name Shao Hao, the Bee King’s greed flared.
“What artifact did he give you? Let me see it.”
“I don’t have it on me. I put it in my little house, the one I made out of mud. Do you want to go see it?”
“Let’s go. I’ll go see it.”
The Bee King suppressed his excitement and followed the little cub to see the artifact.
The moment he left, Feng Yuan snuck into his house.
There were many bees in his house.
After sneaking in, Feng Yuan had a clear goal: find the honey.
There was so much honey. Feng Yuan planned to take it all.
This evil Bee King had cheated who knows how many people and stung countless innocent ones.
Feng Yuan would empty his honey stash.
Several cubs joined in. One of them even had their own storage space.
They packed the honey while eating it.
The bees left behind by the Bee King to guard the honey tried to stop them.
The little ones weren’t afraid. They dared to fight back against the bees.
As the cubs moved the honey, their little hands and faces were covered in it.
They also got stung several times.
“Okay, retreat!”
After clearing out the honey, Feng Yuan didn’t linger.
He led the cubs and made a run for it.
Meanwhile, the little cub who had lured the Bee King away led him to the mud house, rummaged around for show, and finally slapped his forehead in frustration. “My magical artifact is gone! I’m sure I hid it right here!”
“You idiot! Hiding a treasure here is just openly inviting someone to come and pick it up!”
Seeing that he had lost the artifact, the Bee King offered no comfort and instead cursed him angrily.
The artifact was gone. He had made the trip for nothing.
“Give me that piece of jade you have. I’ll trade you for honey.”
With the artifact gone, the Bee King wanted to take the jade from the little cub.
“I don’t want to trade anymore.”
The little cub didn’t give him the jade. “This is Uncle Phoenix’s jade. He just let me play with it. He didn’t give it to me.”
The little cub used the excuse Feng Yuan had given him.
He brought up the Phoenix. The Bee King actually hesitated for a moment.
While the Bee King was contemplating whether to snatch the jade, the little cub had already bolted.
This little cub was a nine-colored deer cub.
He was very fast when he ran.
Seeing him run away, the Bee King decided not to chase him.
That Phoenix was not someone to be trifled with.
The Bee King returned empty-handed from his trip. He was extremely annoyed. On the way back, he even felt like stinging a couple of people to vent his frustration.
When he returned to his house fuming, he saw his little bee brothers on the verge of death and the honey completely plundered. He was so angry he nearly fainted.
“Who did this! Who did this!”
“It was a fat cub, a fat cub we’ve never seen before. He led others to take our honey.”
“He also left a message, saying that if you bully people again, he’ll come back to steal more honey.”
A bee lying on the ground tattled to the Bee King.
The moment the Bee King heard it was an unfamiliar cub, and a fat one at that, a suspicious cub immediately popped into his mind.
“It’s the Phoenix’s cub!”
News had spread throughout the World of Mountains and Seas for the better part of the day.
The Phoenix’s little cub had shown up.
And his little cub was a chubby one!
“Well, well, this little fatty dares to provoke me on his very first day!”
The Bee King stormed out furiously, intending to find the little fat cub and settle the score.
But the little fat cub he was looking for was currently stuffed full of honey.
His little belly was bulging. The welts on his little cheeks from the bee stings were red and swollen.
“Boss Yuan Yuan, does your face hurt?”
The little fierce beast, who had also been stung and now had one swollen eye, asked Boss Yuan Yuan.
The little fierce beast felt that his eye hurt a lot.
Feng Yuan hadn’t felt the pain while eating the honey. But now that he was full, he was starting to feel it, too.
But he was the boss, so he stubbornly refused to admit it.
“It only hurts a little bit. It’s fine!”
“We just need to find some herbs to put on it.”
Feng Yuan took the lead in searching for herbs. He recognized a few that could relieve pain.
The cubs crushed the herbs and applied the paste to their swollen welts.
After applying the medicine, to distract themselves from the pain on their faces, Feng Yuan led the little cubs to perform more heroic deeds.
A couple, an uncle and an auntie, had lost a treasure. Feng Yuan, who was passing by, personally helped them look for it.
In the end, it turned out the treasure had been hidden by the uncle.
Feng Yuan also dug up love letters the uncle had written to someone else.
When the auntie saw all this, she nearly beat the uncle to a pulp.
As Feng Yuan left, he could still hear the uncle’s wails behind him.
He walked with his chubby hands behind his back, taking the opportunity to educate the cubs.
“Once you have a partner, you can’t secretly find another one, okay?”
“Or else you’ll get a beating.”
Their good deed was done, but the uncle behind them was probably grinding his molars to dust.
Once Feng Yuan got busy, he didn’t stop.
After resolving the domestic incident, he ambled over to the base of the Marriage Tree.
This Marriage Tree was said to be very magical.
If you broke off a small branch from the very top of the Marriage Tree and wrote the names of lovers on it, you could bind their fates in marriage.
Feng Yuan thought about all the single uncles and aunties in the World of Mountains and Seas.
He felt he could help play matchmaker.
So, the little fellow, who was a good tree climber, scrambled to the very top and broke off a marriage branch.
After breaking off the branch, he and the little cubs began to write names.
They didn’t know how to write the names of the divine beast uncles and aunties.
Holding the branch, Feng Yuan went directly to the uncles and aunties one by one.
He first handed the branch to an uncle, had him write his own name, and then asked the uncle who he wanted to be with.
The White Tiger, who was asked, laughed and said his friend’s name.
The White Tiger looked at Feng Yuan’s chubby face and assumed that when the innocent-looking little cub asked who he wanted to be “with”, he meant as good friends.
So, he smilingly named his friend of many years.
Feng Yuan immediately pulled his friend over.
“Uncle, you write your name, too!”
Feng Yuan handed the small branch to the newly arrived uncle.
Both adults thought this was just a game the little cub was playing.
They both wrote their names.
Seeing their names written together, Feng Yuan grinned and even gave them some honey to eat.
“This is Yuan Yuan’s gift money!”
After giving them the honey, Feng Yuan led the little cubs and ran off.
They were off to meddle with the next family.
The group of little cubs nearly turned the World of Mountains and Seas upside down.
They fought with bees, randomly played matchmaker, and even wanted to build some kind of amusement park.
The cubs were having so much fun that they didn’t even want to go home.
But the adults who had been tormented, including those who discovered they had been randomly matched, were about to turn green.
At dusk, they all rushed toward the Phoenix’s nest.
The Phoenix disliked being disturbed, especially at his residence. He didn’t like visitors.
Therefore, for many years, no one had ever come to his nest.
But this time, they really couldn’t take it anymore!
Inside the nest, Feng Qi also sensed the approaching presences.
He sat up abruptly, pushing the person on top of him off.
“Someone’s coming.”
As Feng Qi spoke, he grabbed the clothes from the bed and threw them at Li Sheng.
“Hide your aura!”
After ordering Li Sheng, Feng Qi also hurriedly put on his clothes.
He pushed open the door and had just stood up straight when he saw the group of people who had already arrived at his doorstep.
The Bee King at the front was the first to complain, “Your little phoenix stole my honey and beat up my bees!”
A certain divine beast, who had hidden his private savings and also had an affair, angrily added how the little phoenix had meddled in his business, causing him to be beaten by his wife and then divorced.
The White Tiger also gritted his teeth, saying the little phoenix had tainted his years of friendship with his closest companion.
Another one who enjoyed growing vegetables and raising beasts was even more grief-stricken. “The little phoenix treated my beasts to wine. Now, they’re all drunk and running wild.”
“The little phoenix also trampled my vegetable patch!”
“He said he was going to tidy up my house, but he mistook my treasures for junk and ‘recycled’ them with a stomp of his foot…”
The entire group was lodging complaints.
Feng Qi’s head was buzzing from all the noise. He pressed his temples and let out a breath.
“One at a time, please. There’s no rush.”
While Feng Qi was having the victims state their cases one by one, Feng Yuan, who had not yet returned home, was wondering why he couldn’t see any adults around.
His little backpack was filled with many empty red envelopes.
These empty red envelopes were very pretty. He had collected them all.
He had asked the cubs. It turned out that no one in the World of Mountains and Seas gave out red envelopes for the New Year.
The cubs had never received lucky money either.
Feng Yuan filled the empty red envelopes with candy and gave them out.
“These are for you.”
Feng Yuan patted the remaining red envelopes. He used a pen to draw the paper money used in the modern human world on a piece of paper.
No one had ever seen this kind of money.
Feng Yuan also put these drawings into the red envelopes.
The little fierce beast wanted one.
Feng Yuan touched the red envelopes and shook his head. “These aren’t for you.”
“These are for the uncles and aunties.”
Feng Yuan was fair to everyone. He was going to give red envelopes to the uncles and aunties, too.
“Mmm, the uncles and aunties have to kowtow to Yuan Yuan, then Yuan Yuan can give them red envelopes.”
When Feng Yuan received red envelopes, he had to kowtow to his grandparents.
The adults had said that if there was a large age gap, the little cub had to kowtow to get a red envelope.
The age gap between Feng Yuan and the uncles and aunties here was also very large.
So, according to the rules, the uncles and aunties had to kowtow to him before he would give them red envelopes.
Just as Feng Yuan was thinking about the uncles and aunties, a little butterfly spirit fluttered over, flapping its wings to deliver a message.
“Yuan Yuan, hurry home. Your dad is calling for you.”
Moonlit: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Really now, Yuan Yuan?
