Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 18: The King of All Animals

Translator: Vicky_

The little kingfisher was like a child. It liked to play in the deep mountains and canyons. With the supreme prestige of a divine beast, it ruled birds and animals. It was the king of all animals.

The Qilian Mountains was its garden. It could play as it liked. When it had nothing to do, it just looked for an animal and played with the animal which would amuse it.

Su Qingluo knew it well and did not restrict it on ordinary days. She wanted it to play freely.

“Master, I’ve found a good place. Maybe you can find a lot of gold.”

The little kingfisher rubbed its master’s wrist affectionately and spat out a dark gray ore from its mouth. After that, it blinked and waited for praise.

“Is this rough gold? Are you serious?”

Su Qingluo’s eyes lit up. She picked up the dark gray ore that looked just like a stone at first sight and held it in the sun to have a closer look.

“Of course, it is gold. With my eyes, I can identify the treasures of the world without making mistakes.” The little kingfisher proudly raised its small head.

“Well, good for you. You must have searched the whole Qilian Mountains, right?”

Su Qingluo was very happy at that time. With her soft hands, she stroked the little kingfisher’s head. She smiled and said, “Come on. Tell me where you got this from.”

“Deep in the mountains, there is a valley that has been shrouded in fog for years.”

The little kingfisher was very excited. “You will find an underground river at the bottom of the valley. You can enter the cave along the river and go down to the underground cave. Then, you can see an underground gold mine. From the traces left in the cave, it was excavated a long time ago.”

“Underground gold mine? Interesting!”

Su Qingluo’s eyes lit up. Then, she said to the kingfisher, “Can your Phoenix Fire extract gold?”

“Of course, my Phoenix Fire is the divine fire, which can refine all things in the world.” The little kingfisher stood up proudly, opened its mouth, and shot a little spark at the ore.

Sizzle!

The cobblestone-sized gold ore was wrapped in the hot flame and then became smaller quickly. The ore almost turned into ashes, leaving only a piece of bean-sized gold.

“Well, it’s too small!”

The little kingfisher glanced at the gold piece in disgust and felt sorry for her Phoenix Fire.

It was still a small baby kingfisher with weak divine power.

The capacity to store divine fire in the elixir field was directly linked with divine power. The divine power was weak, and the amount of divine fire that could be used would also be small. It was not worth wasting on bean-sized gold pieces.

Its expression of disgust made Su Qingluo laugh.

“Well, it’s so boring. I want to go out and play now.”

The little kingfisher wanted to present the gold ore to its master as a treasure and show off that it had found a gold mine. However, the reality was cruel. The gold ore could not be refined and was no different from ordinary stones.

The kingfisher couldn’t accept it. It fluttered its delicate wings and wanted to fly away.

“Hey.”

Su Qingluo looked at its dejected face and smiled. “Don’t be discouraged, Yiner. I’ll go to the underground mine with you someday. Maybe we can find better ores.”

“Well, let’s go tomorrow.”

Seeing that the master was interested in the gold mine, the little kingfisher’s eyes lit up. It suddenly became energetic again.

“Not tomorrow.”

Su Qingluo looked upset and said, “I heard that there are bandits around recently. My mother will not let me go out.”

“There are bandits indeed!”

The little kingfisher wandered outside every day and knew a lot of information. “A rich family on the other side of the river was attacked by bandits. They stole a lot of things. The family reported the case. The county officials came several times, but they did not catch the bandits.”
