There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 194: 194, [Self-cultivation of a Raven]

Translator: 549690339

In the sky, the blinding light had lasted for quite a while.

After a long time, Mao Nanbei said, “It’s okay now. You can open your eyes.”

When Lu Xun and others opened their eyes and observed their surroundings, it seemed no different from before.

It felt like a storm in a teacup?

Apart from the intense light, this celestial phenomenon didn’t seem to have any other effects.

“At first, I thought a missile had exploded in the sky, but it seems like it was just a flashbang?” Lu Xun wondered.

After observing their surroundings, Lu Xun remembered that his Spirit Crow seemed to have let out a “scream”?

He looked down at the Spirit Crow, which had also opened its eyes. Its gaze was still vacant, looking as dull-witted as before, no different from earlier.

“It didn’t die? What a pity.” Lu Xun thought, “I thought I could have an extra dish tonight.”

Seeing Lu Xun staring at it, the Spirit Crow tilted its head and continued to stare back at him.

Lu Xun slightly frowned, puzzled, “Elder Sister Four, Little Chan, don’t you think its feathers seem a little shinier?”

The three of them huddled in a circle, scrutinizing the Spirit Crow in the middle.

“It does seem a bit shinier.” Mao Nanbei echoed.

Lin Chan also nodded in agreement.

Ye Sui’an, who was sitting in a leaf-light boat, stretched his neck and peered at the paper crane over and over again, forcing himself into the conversation, “Elder Lu, it indeed looks shinier!”

“No one asked you…” Lu Xun muttered inwardly, then picked up the Spirit Crow for a closer look.

“Caw!”

“Caw!”

The Spirit Crow made two calls but didn’t struggle.

Its call was loud and clear, louder than the typical Spirit Crow.

Lu Xun looked over and over, other than the feathers becoming slightly shinier, this Spirit Crow looked no different from before.

“Little Junior Brother, before monsters transform, if their appearance suddenly changes, they’re likely to have become stronger, it’s even possible their Spiritual Wisdom has awakened,” Mao Nanbei explained.

Looking at its dazed eyes, Lu Xun said, “Awakened Spiritual Wisdom? I find that hard to believe.”

He tried to control it using a basic Taming Beast Technique, and it remained obedient as always.

It should be known that this basic technique is only terribly effective on poultry and livestock. If it truly awakened its Spiritual Wisdom, this technique would undoubtedly be ineffective.

“Right, I can check its basic information!” Lu Xun almost forgot his perceptiveness abilities, blaming it on his inherently pragmatic perspective.

He focused on examining, and the basic information of the Spirit Crow quickly surfaced before his eyes.

[Species: Spirit Crow.

Age: 3.

Current State: Semi-Spiritual Wisdom.]

“Semi-Spiritual Wisdom?” Lu Xun was slightly surprised.

Does that mean this Spirit Crow has a chance to awaken its Spiritual Wisdom?

Unlike humans, monster species awaken their Spiritual Wisdom due to coincidences or their Bloodline Powers, swallowing the Essence of the Sun and Moon instinctively before their transformation.

Day after day, year after year, they need to absorb for a long time before they can transfigure.

After that, monsters are reborn anew.

If this Spirit Crow has the opportunity for full Spiritual Wisdom, Lu Xun might regret eating it.

“If I had known earlier, I should have asked the Sect Leader for two crows. At least, I could have eaten one on the journey!”

Lu Xun also felt regretful for not being able to taste the Golden Crow Bloodline.

“Could its changes be related to the previous anomaly?” he wondered.

That seemed not impossible.

But any transformations seemed to be limited to this extent.

Lu Xun didn’t overthink it, deciding to just raise it for the time being.

“Should we give it a name?” Lu Xun suggested with a smile.

“Sure!” Mao Nanbei quickly agreed, and Lin Chan also started to think about potential names.

Lu Xun suggested, “Seeing as how it’s completely black, we could call it Little Black or Big Black. But these names are pretty common. How about we call it Middle Black instead? What do you guys think?”

He felt he truly was a genius when it came to naming!

Mao Nanbei rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to bother with his antics.

She was a black cat herself. If she were to transform into her original form, she would also have black fur.

If she were to be named “Middle Black Cat,” she might die of embarrassment.

Even Lin Chan, who usually went along with whatever Lu Xun said, didn’t nod in agreement. Perhaps she also found the name distasteful.

The naming plan was temporarily put on hold.

They didn’t even know the gender of the Spirit Crow.

All they knew was that it looked plump but not fat, with succulent meat. Moreover, its caw was loud and clear, even louder than most Spirit Crows!

“Its feathers have become shiny black, which is quite attractive compared to before. If it weren’t for its dumb expression, we could turn it into a mount. It should be fine,” someone commented.

Don’t be fooled by its small size; shifting size wasn’t something difficult and it wasn’t considered advanced magic. Many ordinary people knew how to partially alter size. It’s nothing special.N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

Whatever Lu Xun and his team ate, the Spirit Crow would eat too, which was quite magical because it could eat anything.

All the leftovers were now being snapped up.

From being a dish, it had transformed into a dining companion- talk about changing one’s fate!

In his free time, Lu Xun would teach it to talk.

According to Mao Nanbei, monster species with semi-spiritual wisdom developed a strong ability to learn.

She had not taken much time herself to learn the language of the Human Race.

Speaking of which, they hadn’t really heard Mao Nanbei meowing.

“I should find an opportunity to have her meow a few times,” Lu Xun thought to himself.

However, compared to her, this Spirit Crow seemed rather foolish and couldn’t learn no matter how much they taught it.

“You’re both black, but others can learn human language even without spiritual wisdom. Why are you so dumb?” Lu Xun mused to himself.

Perhaps sensing Lu Xun’s emotion, the Spirit Crow tilted its head, watching him and cawing a couple of times.

That night, they stayed at a tavern in a small town and rented out the tavern’s backyard, at Ye Sui’an’s expense.

When Lu Xun went to cook in the kitchen, the Spirit Crow followed him closely, showing no fear of the knife in his hand.

“Is there a strange smell?” Lu Xun sniffed.

When he looked down, he discovered that the Spirit Crow had pooped beside his foot, and was now staring at him blankly.

Using his magic, Lu Xun cleaned up the bird droppings, and muttered under his breath, “Damn it!”

The next moment, the loud cawing of the Spirit Crow echoed throughout the backyard, “Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

A twitch developed at the corner of Lu Xun’s mouth as he lifted the bird upside down.

“You can talk now?” Lu Xun felt a hint of happiness.

There was no one around the courtyard, so he decided to have some fun. He put the bird down and said, “Call me daddy.”

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!” the Spirit Crow continued to caw.

Gan Linliang! “Pets aren’t supposed to use profanity!” Lu Xun shouted.

The Spirit Crow flapped its wings to fly away, all the while continuously cawing:

“Damn it! Gan Linliang! Damn it! Gan Linliang!”

Lu Xun, holding his kitchen knife, was tempted to chop it up.

As it flew in the sky, its body suddenly twitched. For a moment, its eyes weren’t vacant anymore and looked somewhat cold.

Yet in the next instant, it returned to its dazed state and continued cawing “Damn it!”.
