But in everyone's eyes, there was endless respect!

And shock!

Such an outcome was something they had not even dreamed of before. No one had expected that Phecda not only easily crushed the enemy's ferocious attack and made it fall through midway.

But it also thoroughly scared away that terrifying force!

"Phecda is the hero of Jinxiu City!"

No one knew who, but suddenly someone shouted out loud.

"Phecda is a hero!" someone else followed.

Then, everyone…couldn't help but shout out loud, needing an outlet for the pressure and fear they had endured during those days, to vent properly.

At that moment, they all roared with abandon, "Phecda is a hero!"

However, at this time, the hero in the minds of all the people of Jinxiu City was hiding inside the City Lord's Mansion, crying.

"Chu Mo... You little bastard, when you come back... Phecda will need thirty Creation Fish to recover! No... fifty! Dammit... My feathers!!!"

The originally excited Fire Dragon, seeing Phecda's defeated look, could only stand aside with an embarrassed expression. It had been very happy to see Phecda return and wanted to celebrate the successful repelling of the enemy but did not expect this guy to hide in a corner and wail, muttering about how to recoup his losses from Chu Mo. This left the Fire Dragon not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Phecda wailed for a while, then lifted its head and saw the embarrassed Fire Dragon, and acted as if nothing had happened. It pulled the blanket around itself tighter and said indifferently, "Little Dragon... How long have you been here?"

Seeing the dangerous glint in Phecda's eyes, the Fire Dragon hurriedly said, "Just got here, I just arrived, really! Look, the footprints on the ground are fresh!"

"..." Phecda couldn't help rolling its eyes, then said, "Just now, you didn't see anything, right?"

"Cough cough... Didn't see anything, Phecda senior, I swear, I really just arrived!" the Fire Dragon twitched the corners of its mouth as it made a solemn oath.

At that time, a burst of cheering came from outside.

"Phecda is a hero!"

"Long live Phecda!"

"From now on, no one in Jinxiu City is allowed to eat chicken!" Someone, likely caught up in flattery, shouted too excitedly with a voice that boomed.

Phecda immediately looked furious and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, who said no to eating chicken? Phecda fucking loves to eat chicken!"

"..." The Fire Dragon had a full head of black lines, looking at this off-beat creature, wondering if this was really the same gallant Phecda... The hero who had unleashed Thousand Feather Kill?

The cheers at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion reached their peak, with almost everyone gathered there, shouting with abandon and celebrating the hard-won victory, and simultaneously venting the excitement of their narrow escape from catastrophe.

In recent years, events in Jinxiu City followed one after another, too spectacular that some who couldn't take it had long moved away. Only those with strong hearts stayed behind, hoping one day to have a child with exceptional talent, who could become a disciple in the City Lord's Mansion. From that day forward... they would be set for life!

Therefore, in today's Jinxiu City, more than ninety percent of the people were die-hard loyalists to the City Lord. As such, in their eyes, it didn't matter whether the City Lord was Lu Tianming or Chu Mo. They did not care, and their admiration was at its peak.

Accompanied by a series of crisp laughter, Miao Yi Niang, Shen Xingxue, Fang Lan, and a large group of people entered one after another.

They had barely managed to walk in through the door. On a day of universal celebration like this, if they were still flying around in the sky with cold faces, it would have been rather inappropriate.

So, just breaking free from the crowd and returning to the City Lord's Mansion took them half a day's effort.

But all of it was worth it!

Even though Chu Mo was not currently there, everyone within the City Lord's Mansion was deeply respected by all the people of Jinxiu City. That feeling of being respected was truly very comfortable.

But everyone also clearly understood in their hearts who brought all this about.

"Big Rooster!" Huang Hui's eyes were animated as she searched around, calling out loudly.

Now, everyone referred to the Big Rooster with great respect, either as 'Rooster Lord' or 'Senior Big Rooster.' Only Huang Hui, without fail, called it Big Rooster. Their friendship had been forged through fights, and back in the day, the Big Rooster had bullied Huang Hui no small bit.

As soon as the Big Rooster heard Huang Hui's voice, its figure flashed and vanished in front of the Fire Dragon, saying, "Master is going to hide for a bit, how can I meet people looking like this?"

After searching around for a while and not finding the Big Rooster, Huang Hui remembered that it had just seemed to throw off all its feathers, previously having draped a flowery quilt over itself...

Remembering this, Huang Hui couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, looking over at Miao Yiniang who was also searching for the Big Rooster, and chuckled, "No need to look anymore, it must have gone into hiding."

"Hiding?" Miao Yiniang was startled.

"Yeah, it's lost all its feathers..." Huang Hui said, unable to hold back her laughter.

Miao Yiniang was briefly struck dumb, then also couldn't help but laugh lightly, and then, a bit reflectively, said, "We really owe it a lot this time. Otherwise, all of us might have been in big trouble."

Huang Hui nodded, "Yes, the Big Rooster saved us, saved the entire city!"

Even though it was late at night, almost all the residents of Jinxiu City had come out from their homes. The streets were brightly lit, with brothels, taverns... seeming to have recovered their former bustle all at once. Even the business was several times better than it had ever been before!

Joyful smiles filled everyone's faces, and they spent money without any hesitation. All the merchants were grinning from ear to ear.

A night of celebration.

On the next day, people woke up exhausted yet filled with excitement and found that the whole city had returned to its former tranquility.

It was as if the sudden appearance of those powerful cultivators in the past days had been nothing but a dream. The city instantly returned to its old prosperity, with all sorts of hawker calls incessantly ringing in one's ears.

But the people no longer found it noisy; instead, they found it especially endearing.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Huang Hui finally caught the Big Rooster sneaking back, and seeing it wrapped in a flowery quilt, she couldn't stop herself from laughing uproariously, bending forward and backward.

Seeing this, the Big Rooster looked at Huang Hui with a serious face, "Miss, please have some self-respect."

"Oh dear, a featherless chicken... hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, self-respect my foot! It's rare for you to keep such a serious face; don't you know, the more you do, the funnier it gets. Hahaha!" Huang Hui pointed at the flowery quilt on the Big Rooster, squatting on the ground and laughing her head off.

"Damn it, you little brat, Master Rooster is doing this for everyone's sake, you know? Don't you have any sympathy?" the Big Rooster couldn't help but roll its eyes, saying with a face full of sorrow, "Do you know how much those feathers cost me?"

"I know, you can go and ask Master Chu to compensate you later, hahaha!" Huang Hui couldn't help but want to laugh looking at the Big Rooster.

The Big Rooster had no way of dealing with this girl; bullying her back in the day was one thing, but now that she had grown into a beautiful woman, if he continued to bully her, it would seem a bit inappropriate.

He could only turn his head away with a face full of sorrow, but then suddenly froze. After which, he started to shout loudly, "Kid... you, you, you... you really know how to pick your moments, eh! Come, come, come... Master Rooster has something, to seriously discuss with you!"
