Chapter 4 — Raising a Phoenix as a Chicken

I thought for a moment and seriously answered: "He's not a picky eater, he'll eat whatever he gives him." The butler emotionally wiped away his tears, repeatedly said "yes yes yes" and then retreated. Luc Tu Than stood in front of the ground-level window, looking at the five-colored lump of meat chasing a butterfly on the grass.

"This time, Nac Nac must learn to fly first."

“It can't fly.”

"That's because you didn't teach me. Anyway, you don't know how to fly."

He turned to look at me, showing sympathy. I hesitated, then whispered: "Can... teach slowly?"

“At this age, it's too late for him to fly.” Luc Tu Than frowned slightly.

“A normal phoenix cub, one year old, has already left the earth.”

The sentence "Nac Nac is afraid of heights" was stuck in his throat, he twirled around a few times, just as he was about to say it. Suddenly a pitiful scream rang out in the yard: "Help! Momeeee——!" 07 Luc Tu Than and I rushed out at the same time. A fat chef with a cleaver in hand was standing under a tree, head tilted up to look up at the branches. On the branch, Khuong Nac Nac was clutching a small tree branch, his two short legs trembling tightly holding the tree trunk. The housekeeper followed behind, panting, shouting repeatedly: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Aunt Truong thought a chicken escaped from the kitchen, that's why..." Khuong Nac Nac saw me, tears falling: "Mom! She wants to chop me! She wants to chop me!" [Comment]: *【Good guy! Nac Nac almost transformed into an Eight Treasured Gourami Chicken!】* *【As a descendant of a phoenix, being chased by the kitchen aunt with a knife had to climb a tree, losing face to all eighteen generations of ancestors!】* *【The important thing is that this kid can climb trees very quickly, but he doesn't know how to fly, hahaha!】* Luc Tu Than stood under the tree and raised his head to look at the fat ball hanging on the branch. said: "Go down yourself." Nac Nac cried and shook his head: "I don't dare!"

“It's afraid of heights.” I whispered next to me.

Luc Tu Than turned his head to look at me, his phoenix eyes widened slightly, his expression was difficult to put into words: "...It's a phoenix, but it's afraid of heights?" My voice gradually softened: "Children are still young, they can be taught slowly... They always think they are a chicken." The atmosphere was silent for a second. Luc Tu Than closed his eyes, raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, feeling extremely helpless. [Comment]: *【Nac Nac: I'm just a small, weak chick, afraid of heights, only know how to breathe fire and eat rice. Don't make things difficult for me anymore.】* …… 08 In the evening, Khuong Nac Nac soaked in the medicinal bathtub, so comfortable that he squinted his eyes, his small claws waving on the water surface, emitting a series of satisfying "clucking" sounds. I sat next to him and looked at his enjoyment, suddenly feeling a pang of sadness in my heart. After raising him for 4 years, I couldn't even buy him a bottle of high-quality shower gel. Luc Tu Than didn't know when he appeared at the bathroom door, holding the phone in his hand, faintly speaking:

“The foster care fee from 4 years ago has been transferred to you.”

I pulled out my phone to look at it, a series of numbers immediately caught my eye, I counted it over and over again 3 times and still didn't dare to believe it, I suddenly said:

“Thank you boss!”

His steps stopped and he slowly turned his head: "...What did you call me?" Only then did I realize I had accidentally spoken, my cheeks were hot, I quickly stuffed my phone into my pocket, shrunk my neck and smiled wryly:

"Well... I mean thank you. In our place, anyone who gives us a lot of money calls us is boss (boss).”

The corner of his mouth twitched, he was silent for two seconds then turned away: "Starting tomorrow, I will teach Nac Nac to fly."

"Yes boss... oh wrong, yes Mr. Luc."

Luc Tu Than took a deep breath, didn't even look back and walked away. 09 These days, he is extremely busy. During the day, teach Nac Nac to fly. At night, he personally boiled medicinal water for it to bathe, said to help it transform.
