After arranging everything with the Peacock, the Lord finally felt relieved, and his expression suggested he couldn't wait to set off some firecrackers himself.
Yun Kuang, feeling bolder these days, teased, "Lord, you might want to tone down your enthusiasm, or the Peacock might feel rebellious and refuse to leave. Then you'd be left with nothing but tears."
The Lord, taken by this reminder, exclaimed loudly to the void, "The Great Peacock God has protected Langqi Island for hundreds of years. It's truly hard to see you go."
From the void came the Peacock's response, "Really? Then I'll reconsider."
The Lord grew pale with fright, hastily turning his pleading eyes towards Yun Qi for help.
The Peacock snorted, "Alright, I know you're scared of me. Don't worry, even if you begged me on your knees now, I wouldn't stay."
Only then did the Lord let out a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Yun Qi with a pleading gaze again.
