Chapter 226 To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself.
As soon as I stepped into Cyrus's now empty office, a noisy shout with a pitiful trailing tone suddenly erupted from the corner:
"I'm starving! I'm starving! You heartless birds! You've forgotten your old bird for a new one!"
"It's been a whole day! Not a single grain of rice has been seen!"
The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw the colorful parrot named "Talkative" standing listlessly on its special gilded stand.
The feathers, which were usually glossy and smooth, had lost their luster and were slightly ruffled.
A pair of black bean-like eyes stared wide open, filled with forgotten resentment and sorrow.
With Cyrus executed, this little guy was left completely ignored, becoming a pitiful creature that no one cared about.
Seeing this, Lin Feng felt a surge of warmth and immediately spoke to the parrot, asking where the food was.
"Talkative" turned urgently to the other side of the room: "Over there! The mahogany cabinet! On top! I'm hungry! Quick!"
Lin Feng's gaze swept across the area and quickly locked onto the half-person-high, dark-colored mahogany storage cabinet placed against the wall.
He stepped forward, grasped the brass handle, and gently pulled open the cabinet door.
The cabinet was exceptionally tidy, with different types of items neatly categorized and arranged in an orderly manner.
At the very top and most prominent position, a transparent, sealed glass jar stands quietly, filled with plump, brightly colored nuts and a special grain mixture—the very food for "Duozui".
He quickly unscrewed the jar, scooped out a full spoonful, and carefully presented it to "Talkative".
"Here, eat up." Lin Feng poured the food into the small feeding trough under the bird stand.
"Talkative" instantly perked up, flapped its wings to steady itself, and buried its head directly in the food trough to feast.
While eating, he mumbled indistinctly, "You've got some conscience after all... I forgive you... Remember to feed me on time next time!"
Lin Feng's forehead creased with annoyance. He thought to himself, "I'm just trying to be nice by feeding you, and you're already putting on airs and complaining?"
Meanwhile, Leng Meng and Vivian had already found the legendary scroll of summoning magic from the top shelf of the carved bookshelf against the wall.
Leng Meng held a corner of the tattered scroll, carefully untied the black silk rope tied to it, and slowly unfolded the yellowed animal hide scroll.
The opening page prominently displayed several lines of text in bold, large characters:
[Ultimate Warning: To practice this skill, you must first castrate yourself!]
This is the fundamental contract for reversing Yin and Yang and forcibly summoning Yin elements. If the Yang essence is impure, it will backfire and destroy the body, causing the soul to be scattered!
Be careful! Be careful!
The air froze instantly.
Leng Meng and Vivian simultaneously looked away from the scroll, their gazes meeting in mid-air, a hint of astonishment and absurdity flashing in their eyes.
Leng Meng snapped the scroll shut, as if it were burning her hand.
"No wonder Cyrus never practiced this summoning spell; it turns out it's such a ridiculous thing."
Vivian coughed lightly, concealing the fleeting embarrassment and amusement.
Lin Feng curiously leaned closer, peeking out and asking, "Did you find it?"
Leng Meng glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "Found it, but it's useless. The conditions are too harsh; you simply can't meet them."
"Huh? What are the conditions? How do you know it won't work if you don't try..." Lin Feng frowned and said, feigning resentment.
"Can you castrate yourself?" Leng Meng interrupted him directly.
Lin Feng: "...???"
He froze for a full three seconds, then suddenly squeezed his legs together:
"What...what kind of lousy summoning spell is this! Who created this?! It's outrageous!"
Leng Meng raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly mocking:
"The person who created this kind of rule-level summoning spell probably never considered people with intact yang energy. Cyrus probably kept this thing hidden away as a joke."
Vivian coughed lightly: "Anyway, don't even think about it. If you really want to castrate yourself, I'll be the first to object!"
........................
Studio:
"Hahahaha! Feng Ge's reaction of squeezing his legs together is hilarious! I instantly understand what 'ball pain' means!"
"Vivian: You want to castrate yourself? Did you even ask us sisters for our opinions? We haven't 'used' you enough yet!"
"Celes: Thanks for the invitation, but I'm in a box, just went to hell. I've seen this spell, but I can't practice it, there's no way I can."
"Ladies in the live stream, put yourselves in their shoes. Can you really agree to your man doing this just to learn some stupid spell... (facepalm)"
"The fantastical story of how my husband had to castrate himself in order to summon me."
........................
Lin Feng recovered and awkwardly touched his nose. To change the subject, he looked at the "talkative" creature, who had already eaten and was preening its feathers.
"Um, well... Mengmeng," he pointed to the parrot, "I think 'Talkative' is quite lonely here. If we go to the Tranquil Quadrant, can we take it with us? Just as... having another talking pet can help keep it company."
Leng Meng followed his gaze to the "talkative one".
Although the parrot was noisy, its bright feathers and incessant chatter did bring a touch of life and amusement to the long and cold years of the warden.
Moreover, as a "long-time resident" of the Abyss Prison, it seems to possess some inexplicable and elusive qualities.
"Okay." Leng Meng nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng found a birdcage, opened the door, and beckoned to "Talkative": "Did you hear that? From now on, you're with me. Food and lodging included, understand?"
"Talkative" tilted its head, glanced at Lin Feng, then at Leng Meng and Vivian beside it, its black bean eyes darted around, and it flapped its wings and flew into the cage, calling out:
"Okay, Dad! If you follow Dad, you'll get meat to eat!"
Lin Feng closed the cage door and pointed at Leng Meng and Vivian: "These two, from now on, will call you 'Mom,' understand?"
"Talkative" hopped around in the cage a couple of times, looked at Leng Meng, then at Vivian, and then opened its mouth and called out in a clear and loud voice:
Good evening, beautiful Leng Meng! Sweet Vivian!
"Pfft—" Vivian couldn't help but laugh out loud and quickly covered her mouth.
Leng Meng's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Lin Feng: "Hey! You worthless bird! What are you yelling about! I'll starve you for three days and three nights! I won't even give you a single nut!"
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Black Bean's eyes, like a bird under the eaves, and he immediately changed his tune:
"Mommy! Hello, both mommies! Mommy is so beautiful! Mommy, here are some nuts!"
This ability to change one's expression is truly exceptional among birds.
Leng Meng and Vivian exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness and amusement in each other's eyes.
If this parrot is moved to the Tranquil Quadrant, its days will probably be less boring.
"Let's go," Leng Meng glanced one last time at the bookshelf containing the "terrible" summoning spell, then turned and walked out. "We need to hurry up at the library. Be quiet and keep your mouth shut."
"Yes! Cold Lemon, you're so beautiful!"
Leng Meng smiled and shook her head. The three of them and the bird left Cyrus's office, their figures disappearing into the dim light of the corridor as they hurried towards the library...
