Chapter 5 — Raising a Phoenix as a Chicken

I don't know which type of medicinal herbs are which, but just by smelling them, I know they are exorbitantly expensive. Nac Nac soaks in water every day to the point of falling asleep. His fur is indeed much shinier than before, but I always feel like he's getting thinner. Although the number on the scale hadn't changed much, its round belly had flattened a little, and even its short legs seemed to have grown a little longer. But it's still afraid of heights. Luc Tu Than is probably determined to cure this disability of his. He found a mountain, carried Nac Nac out and stood right at the edge of the cliff, saying he wanted to take it flying once. Before I could stop him, he kicked Nac Nac out and jumped out himself. Nac Nac looked down, the whole chicken stiffened, its eyes rolled back, it fainted on the spot, and fell freely down. My soul immediately flew three miles away, without even thinking, I jumped after it. Luc Tu Than opened his eyes, flapped his wings, hooked his left claw on the back of my neck, and right claw picked up the fainting Nac Nac, life and death pulling both mother and child back from the edge of free fall. He landed at the foot of the mountain, restored his human form, and threw the mother and child to the ground, their faces pale.

“One dares to jump, one dares to faint, the two of them work so well together.”

[Comment]: *【Hahaha! This family of three people, one person dares to throw, one person dares to jump, one person dares to faint, speechless!】* *【The male father looks like he has no regrets for life, on the left hangs a fainted child, on the right hangs a mother with weak legs, her wings are almost broken.】* Later, he must have really run out of options, so he took Nac Nuoc to see a documentary about a falcon teaching her child to fly. Nac Nac watched for half a day, then suddenly made a "click" sound and fell to the ground, tears in her eyes and bowed her head: "Dad, I'm afraid... don't throw me away, I can eat less. Or... should we give up? I think being a free-range chicken is also very good." Luc Tu Than raised his hand to caress his eyebrows and let out a long breath.

“Wait…”

I was next to him and quietly picked up Nac Nac and held him in my arms. 10 To soothe his wounded little soul, I specially took him to whip up 10 servings of pancakes. In the past, when I set up a stall selling banh xeo on the street, he could only squat next to the cart and stare at it, occasionally taking the opportunity to steal a green onion without me noticing, and I would knock him on the head. Now it's different, I told the boss to add eggs, add sausage, add floss, add spicy sticks, and arrange them as high as a mountain. Nac Nac bent down to eat, the corners of his mouth were covered in sauce, he ate until his stomach was full, and finally he lay down on the bench with all four legs up in the air and belched. [Comment]: *【It's true that I haven't seen the real world, being a chicken has money but going out and whipping 10 egg-rolled pancakes, tsk tsk tsk.】* *【So what? My child is successful and wants to eat Hao Hao noodles, right? What about pancakes?】* On the way home, Nac Nac squatted on my shoulder, his claws hooked on my collar, and suddenly asked: "Mom, can I ask for an Ultraman?" Without blinking an eye, I immediately went to the toy store on the side of the road and bought him a set. He looked at the toy box that was bigger than his head, his mouth kept saying "cross cross cross" in a voice, his wings flapped wildly with joy. But when I returned to the manor, as soon as I entered the main hall, I saw someone sitting on the sofa. It's Khuong Van Thu. According to my instinct hugged Khuong Nac Nac tightly, walked close to the wall, intending to quietly go upstairs.

"Khuong Lenh Vi? What are you doing here? Are you the new maid Tu Than just hired?"

Her voice came from behind. Khuong Nac Nac snuggled in my arms, her ears were extremely sensitive. As soon as she heard someone call my name, she immediately turned her head and tried to open her mouth to speak again. I quickly squeezed its beak, pressed its head into my elbow, and replied humbly: "Yes... that's right."
