As one of the most prominent schools in the city, First Experimental High School was very strict in enforcing its rules. Although students weren’t banned from bringing mobile phones, only a few of them dared to play games in school.
Feng Yang never paid attention to these games, so he didn’t know about this seemingly popular game. He’d heard Wang Wei and his friends talking about it only once or twice.
Chicken-eating game?
At first, he’d thought literally—that it was a game related to live chickens, but it turned out that his friends were talking about mobile games.
Feng Yang didn’t have much interest in mobile games, and hadn’t asked for more details at that time.
However, recalling their joyful expressions when they mentioned the game, it should have been an exciting game. Definitely not like the one Ban Yu was playing right now.
Err.. This one was a bit childish…
After playing the game for a few minutes, Ban Yu felt bored. Feng Yang also showed no interest in the game, so Ban Yu put his phone aside.
“Baby, you don’t want to sleep?”
Fang Yang, who was sitting beside him, gave an irrelevant answer. “Do you remember why you descended to Earth?”
He hadn’t asked about this matter before, because Ban Yu had still been ‘ill’ at the time, so he would most likely not have given a proper answer. But now, he should be clear about it.
Ban Yu replied, “It was because of a tribulation failure. What about you?”
“Me?” Feng Yang smiled bitterly. “It’s because of xianjue grass.”
“Xianjue grass?” Ban Yu raised his eyebrows in question. “What does it have to do with xianjue grass?”
Yan Liu had reported this matter to him some time ago. The news that was circulating in the immortal realm was—the Eldest Prince of the Feng Clan was disrespectful towards his stepmother, so the King punished him by putting him into Xuanbing Prison.
So the news wasn’t true?
If it was really because of the xianjue grass, then wasn’t the matter now connected to him?
After all, that xianjue grass had already recognized him as its master…
“That’s the reason anyway.” Feng Yang climbed on the sycamore tree, leaned on a branch, and pillowed his head with his arm. “You can sleep in the bedroom, I’ll sleep here tonight.”
“You want to sleep on the tree?”
“En.” Feng Yang nodded. He then turned sideways and closed his eyes.
Obviously, this wasn’t a good sleeping posture, but the way Feng Yang was lying looked somewhat comfortable.
Ban Yu sighed and walked to the bedroom to grab a small thin blanket, which he then gently covered Feng Yang’s body with.
Feng Yang opened his eyes and looked at him for a long time.
He didn’t speak, just silently stared at Ban Yu until the other felt that his heart was being tickled. He suddenly laughed, then closed his eyes, and whispered, “Good night.”
Ban Yu stood by the tree, and watched until Feng Yang’s breathing became light and stable before leaving.
At this time, Hua Cheng flew to Ban Yu’s shoulder and asked in a low voice, “Guye, can you let me play the chicken game for a while?”

Five minutes later, Ban Yu made a small ball out of bread for Hua Cheng to bite into—to use just like a stylus pen, and then opened the chicken game app for him.
Hua Cheng used it to touch the phone screen and turn the chicken this way and that to avoid obstacles, but his speed was not that fast. After a while, the chicken crashed through an obstacle and died.
He wanted to play a little longer, but the ball of bread had already cracked.
Seeing this, Ban Yu made a new ball of bread for him and said, “Go into the bedroom to play. Let Yang Yang sleep well here.”
Hua Cheng nodded accordingly.
After both of them entered the bedroom, Ban Yu closed the door and set a barrier.
Hua Cheng: “Ga?”
“If you answer my questions, I’ll let you play the game as you wish.”
Hua Cheng flew to him. “W-what is it?”
What are you doing behind my prince’s back?!
Ban Yu asked, “Do you know what happened to the xianjue grass that your master spoke about? Why did he descend to the mortal world because of it?”
Turns out Guye wanted to ask about this matter…
Hua Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and said, “That is a long story.”
“Then make the long story short. After that, I will give you the rest of the crickets at once.”
What a great deal!
Hua Cheng was so happy that he immediately grabbed the chance. He was afraid that Ban Yu would go back on his word, so he spilled the beans all in one go.
“Actually that xianjue grass belonged to our former Queen. At that time, our Queen encountered a heavenly tribulation, but she failed to pass it, and so she got struck to death by lightning.
“After her death, no one knew that the jue grass in her body had turned into xianjue grass. But later, someone spread this news all over Fengtai Mountain, so most of the people there came to know about it.
“Hearing this news, of course my prince immediately went to look for it, doing his best to acquire the last remnant of his mother…”
Hua Cheng’s sudden surge of anger made him feel as if he was about to explode. “This is the reason my prince was seriously injured!
“Not long after, the King also arrived. But, instead of treating the prince’s injury, he took undue advantage of his injured state and tried to rob the xianjue grass from him, just so that he could improve his second-wife’s cultivation.
“My prince became really furious upon discovering this. He fought hard and his injury worsened. He eventually lost to the King.
“In the end, not only did the King cut off his spiritual roots, but he also removed his name from the Feng Clan’s Divine Book!”
“Expelled him from the Divine Book?” Ban Yu was angered by the first part of the story, but the latter part infuriated him even more.
Being removed from the family’s Divine Book meant that Feng Yang could no longer stay in the divine world.
“Yes. He was then locked up in the dark and cold Ice Prison for more than 180 days. If it weren’t for the xianjue grass’ spiritual consciousness that constantly absorbed the natural Qi in the dark Ice Prison, my prince might have died there.”
Hua Cheng felt sad upon recalling the situation at that time.
He hung his head and said, “He broke my prince’s spiritual roots and did not even give him food. The prince himself is afraid of the cold. It’s so cold in there that I couldn’t help shivering whenever I went inside.”
“So there’s no other way except to go down to Earth?”
“Yes. If not descending to the human world, then we could only go to the underworld. After being removed from the family’s Divine Book, the prince can no longer open the door of the immortal world, nor can he continue to stay there.
“I had already obtained my human form during the time I was delivering food to the prince. But I was beaten back into my original form. If it wasn’t for the crown prince who protected me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have lived to this day, let alone been able to tell you this story.”
“Do you know who spread the news about the xianjue grass?”
“I don’t know. The prince did not say anything about it.”
Hua Cheng’s mood dipped a bit, and then he suddenly raised his head. “Guye, you will be good to my prince?”
Ban Yu said nothing.
He opened his palm and handed him a small sack with a lively cricket inside it.
Hua Cheng looked a bit lost. “Why is there only one?”
Ban Yu said, “If you finish this one, another one will appear.”
Hua Cheng put the small sack aside and ate the cricket. Sure enough, another one jumped out of the small sack after that. He rushed up to catch it, and did not bother Ban Yu anymore.
Ban Yu promptly removed the barrier, and Feng Yang appeared clearly in his vision.
When Feng Yang was awake, his eyes contained indifference, which gave people the feeling that he was hard to approach, and that no one could touch him.
But when he was asleep, he looked innocent and lovely, an appearance which would make anyone—especially Ban Yu—want to protect him in their palms.
Truth be told, fate was unpredictable.
Over the past three hundred years, Ban Yu had been urged by his father a countless number of times to choose a partner, but he had never allowed anyone into his heart, lest they interfere with his leisurely life.
Then, his sudden decision to block his father’s lightning tribulation had inadvertently changed this long-rooted belief.
His mind immediately recalled the smile on Feng Yang’s face when he had covered him with a thin blanket. His heart suddenly throbbed with pain.
It was just a trivial matter, but he’d clearly seen a different emotion flash by in that pair of deep black eyes.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Ban Yu hadn’t yet recovered completely. Some parts of his soul were still scattered in other places.
He needed to find all of them in order to return to his peak state, and then he could take Feng Yang back to the divine world without any scruples.
Ban Yu decided to speed up his recovery process.
The next day, when Feng Yang woke up from his spot on the branch of the tree, he heard the sound of running water coming from the kitchen. He went to check and found Ban Yu making breakfast.
“Where did this lettuce come from?” Feng Yang saw lettuce in the vegetable basket. If it wasn’t for Little Feng Yang’s memories, he wouldn’t have known that this green thing was lettuce.
“I went out in the morning and saw Wei Dongyu buy it, so I asked him for some.”
Ban Yu added, “There are no other vegetables here. Today I will put some lettuce in the cicada burger I’m making for you. It will be more nutritious and balanced that way. What do you want to drink? A cup of hot milk?”
“Yes, thank you.” Feng Yang didn’t leave; instead, he stood in place and looked at Ban Yu for a while.
“What is it? Go wash up quickly.”
“En.” Feng Yang turned to walk to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Feng Yang recalled Ban Yu’s appearance as he made breakfast for him.
His breakfast would usually just appear on his desk or be delivered to him in hand. So, seeing someone make breakfast like this as soon as he woke up was a somewhat new scene for him.
The feeling this gave was very good.
Feng Yang himself did not notice that he had been sneaking glances towards the kitchen while brushing his teeth.
Hua Cheng flew over to comb his feathers with water.
Upon seeing this action of Feng Yang’s, Hua Cheng smiled. “Prince, what are you thinking about? Guye? He he…”
Feng Yang glared at the silly parrot, turned to wash his face, and then came out, not sparing another glance in Ban Yu’s direction again.
The vegetable porridge and fried cicadas that Ban Yu delivered were usually just small portions, snack-sized portions to consume before breakfast.
But today, since he was here, Ban Yu cooked a lot of food, and Feng Yang also ate to his heart’s content. Perhaps, there was no need for him to go to the canteen later.
Ban Yu suddenly asked, “Should I send you some snacks later?”
Before Feng Yang could turn down his offer, the doorbell rang, followed by Bai Chen’s voice calling out, “Feng Yang, Ban Yu, are you there?”
Ban Yu rose from his seat. “You continue to eat, I’ll open the door.”
Bai Chen greeted Ban Yu and took out two movie tickets from his pocket.
“My colleague gave me movie tickets and I still have two extra left over. This, if you have time, you can watch it. It’s valid until the middle of the next month.”
Ban Yu said thanks and took the movie tickets. He showed them to Feng Yang. “Do you want to go to see a movie?”
Feng Yang held a milk cup in one hand and a cicada burger in the other hand. “Are you sure you want to see this movie?”
“Let’s see it. It seems to be a romance movie,” said Ban Yu.
The image of the man and woman on the movie tickets were very eye-catching. Although they were not as good looking as him or Feng Yang, their appearance was not that bad.
What’s more, it was a movie about a phoenix and a dragon!
Didn’t it mean that this movie was tailor-made for him and Feng Yang?
Feng Yang tried not to laugh when he said, “…Then don’t get angry after we watch it.”
“Why would I be angry?”
Feng Yang put his cup down, grabbed the movie ticket, and flipped it over so that Ban Yu could see the phrase written behind it.
—Defeat the Dragon! Marry the Phoenix!
Bang!
Ban Yu snorted angrily. “Don’t watch! What a bad movie!”
…
