But soon, an almost instinctual, intense craving for food erupted from within, like two small burning suns.

The golden-robed youth sprang upright, his golden hair somewhat tousled. He looked around in a daze, his voice thick with nasal tone and a bit of urgency,

"Aunt, where's the feast? What kind is it, braised or steamed? Is it edible? Is it delicious?" Jin Peng eagerly fixed his gaze on the Vermilion Bird.

Vermilion Bird was silent.

On Yuan Huang's forehead, a few black lines emerged.

"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat!"

A cool voice, laced with displeasure and a hint of admonishment, sounded beside the golden-robed youth.

A roughly ten-year-old youth clad in a pristine azure Daoist robe had, unbeknownst to them, turned around, frowning at him.

This youth in blue, with features as if painted, exuded a calmness and coolness disproportionate to his age, like the pure and aloof snow at the peak of a high mountain.

Most remarkably, a radiant and dazzling five-colored immortal light naturally surrounded him.

This immortal light was not deliberately activated but seemed to merge with his being. The powers of the five elements—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—circulated endlessly around him, everlasting, emitting a vast and pure spiritual energy.

This made him appear incomparably holy, exuding an aura of dignified invincibility.

"All day long, besides eating, can't you think of anything else?" Kong Xuan glared at Jin Peng, his words expressing frustration with his lack of progress.

Jin Peng instantly sobered up and instinctively shrank his head, "All day long, besides eating, of course, my mind is filled with you."

Kong Xuan was stunned.

Jin Peng muttered softly, "All day, eating, you scold me; sleeping, you scold me; even in cultivation you scold me, I'm really aggrieved."

"Open my eyes and see you, close my eyes and see you, even in my dreams you're nagging beside me."

"If I could beat you, I'd have flipped my hand and suppressed you already!"

"Then I'd be the older brother, and you'd be the younger one!"

"What did you say?!" Kong Xuan's brow furrowed, and the slight guilt he felt evaporated with Jin Peng's last two sentences.

A five-colored divine light flashed in his hand, and a fan appeared in his palm.

"Your five-colored divine light can't sweep me away!" Jin Peng glanced at it and turned into a rainbow light, escaping.

"Kong Xuan, Hao Tian has something for me today. I'll show great mercy and spare you, see you later!"

Watching his brother shoot skywards, Kong Xuan snorted lightly, put away the five-colored divine fan, and sat back down.

"Childish."

This light snort was extremely low, carrying a tinge of disdain and... perhaps a trace of frustration even he hadn't noticed.

Kong Xuan sat still again, ostensibly meditating.

In reality...

"Hao Tian… big brother?" Kong Xuan chewed on these words silently in his heart.

His own silly brother, who does nothing but eat and fight, with nothing but speed and strength to his name, actually... actually calls someone else "big brother"?

And he does it so smoothly, so naturally!

An indescribable sense of bitterness, like vines quietly spreading in early spring, sprouted unexpectedly from the depths of Kong Xuan's heart.

Why?!

What qualifies Hao Tian to be called "big brother" by Jin Peng?

I'm his real brother!

Though... though I've never asked him to call me that.

But, him not calling me and instead calling someone else, what is this?!

The more Kong Xuan thought about it, the worse he felt, and his once-calm state of mind began to stir restlessly.

He felt even the mat beneath him was uncomfortable.

[No, I have to go see what's happening!]

"Swoosh!"

Kong Xuan sprang up from the jade stone, his actions swift and clean.

On his cold and handsome young face, for the first time, there was a hint of... impatience?

"Mother, Aunt Liang Guang," he looked towards the center of the hall.

"I... I want to go back to the Five Elements Academy, there are some new array map scrolls to study today."

Yuan Huang's beautiful eyes blinked, she asked with a smile: "Really?"

"Hm...hm." Kong Xuan's face turned slightly red, he lowered his head, his voice barely audible.

"Also... just to check if Jin Peng is causing trouble outside, so as not to disgrace our Phoenix Clan."

He deliberately added.

"Is that so!"

Yuan Huang nodded gently: "Go on, remember to watch over your brother."

"I will!"

Kong Xuan's reply was resolute and powerful.

With that, a flash of five-colored immortal light enveloped him, and his figure transformed into a radiant flash, heading in the same direction as Jin Peng.

The Vermilion Bird saw this and couldn't help but smile: "These two brothers!"

"It's normal for young ones to have some vitality," Yuan Huang remarked.

~~~~~

Ligang Wild, Taixu Cave Heaven.

Nuwa gazed into the distance, looking towards the direction of Buzhou Mountain, an elegant smile appearing on her face: "Panpan is really impressive, causing such a big commotion so soon again."

"Brother." Nuwa called softly.

Not long after, a gentle and jade-like figure emerged from the depths of the Cave Heaven, holding the River Map and Luo Book, faint traces of Eight Diagrams Dao Patterns appearing around him, it was Fu Xi.

He had a handsome face, his eyes deep as the starry sky, filled with the light of wisdom.

"Going to the Netherworld?" Fu Xi asked.

"Yes!"

Nuwa said: "The sponsor of the Fellow Daoist of Reincarnation's establishment of the Netherworld, we need to change our cooperation partner."

"That's fine too."

Fu Xi nodded gently, "The vicissitudes of the Human Dao, without reincarnation, it's difficult for our plan to proceed."

"Taking on the hope of an era is no easy feat."
