Beast World: I Became the Little Villain's Mommy-Chapter 467: Extra: Bai Feng 2_1

After the Priests were trained, the Beast God closed the Divine Temple of Myriad Beasts City. Everyone returned to their respective tribes and became the Priest of their own tribe. After I was granted immortality, I, too, became a true High Priest. The Priests respected me, and the Beastmen adored me.

As for me, aside from my hair growing longer and my feathers growing longer, my appearance ceased to change. I watched flowers bloom and wither, saw infants grow old and die. I watched females court me, watched their children and grandchildren fill their homes. Gradually, I came to understand a terrifying emotion—loneliness. No matter how many roads I walked or how many people I met, no matter whether I became friends with anyone or helped many gain their respect, in the end, all these Beastmen would turn to dust. And yet, I remained alive.

For a time, I became very irritable and angry. The citizens of White Eagle City were afraid of me. I left White Eagle City and took a long walk around the Beast World. After calming down, I returned to White Eagle City.

After that, I cooled down. It was loneliness again. Even though there were many, many Beastmen around me, even though they all respected me when they saw me, even though there were people seeking my help every single day, I was still lonely. I thought about it for a long time before I understood. My loneliness was because no one understood my emotions.

I watched young Beastmen seek affection, watched them reproduce and raise offspring. Slowly, I too began to wonder if a female whom I loved and who loved me would appear. I could love her, and she would love me. I could tell her all the deeply hidden emotions within me. I didn’t want to be lonely anymore.

So, during that time, I once again traveled throughout the Beast World. I went to every tribe, meeting with all sorts of Beastmen and females. I hadn’t thought about contacting females. But it turned out that in such a vast Beast World, there was not a single female suitable for me. I was extremely disappointed.

I returned to White Eagle City once again. After this return, many years passed before I ever left White Eagle City again.

...

I planted some grains, crops mentioned by the Beast God. I found them tasty, so I planted them on the mountain behind. Eagle Beastmen didn’t need crops much, as they preferred meat, but still, many bird species liked them.

One day, just after I planted some grains, I silently lifted my head. My body then jerked violently. A strong, destiny-linked emotion reached me. I was frightened.

I returned to my nest and cleared away everything beside me, then I opened my eyes.

Yes. My eyes could not only observe others but could also see myself. It was just that it was more tiring and harder to look at myself than others. My pupils whirled rapidly in my eyes, and it had been a long time since I felt this soreness in my eyes. I finally saw the peach blossom tree in my destiny, which had sprouted a flower bud. This was the future... At that moment, I, who had been lonely for too long, was ecstatic! I watched the flower bud carefully, using all my strength to look at the person behind the bud. It was a bit blurry, but then gradually it became clear. A calm voice, as if from a good friend, sounded.

"Bai Feng." Her voice was beautiful.

I looked carefully. She had soft black hair, a pair of bright black eyes, and beautiful, milky-white skin. Her face was full of smiles, brighter than the stars.

"So beautiful," I reached out to her involuntarily.

The picture shattered.

I was taken aback, suddenly realizing I had seen too much today. I retracted my Pupillary Power and closed my eyes to rest.

From that day on, I would use my power to peer into the future every day. However, the pasts and futures of others I could only see intermittently. My own future, even more so, consisted of only a few fragments. I saw her come to White Eagle City with a brood of serpents. I don’t like snakes, but that doesn’t prevent me from growing fond of her. But just a single fragment exhausted all my strength once again, and I couldn’t see any more. Even so, I suddenly felt that I was no longer alone. I would go to see her every day—not much, but I would talk to her. No, it was more like talking to myself. I would tell her that I was waiting for her. I looked forward to her arrival. Life in the dreary days was tough, but days filled with anticipation were brimming with hope. Finally, one day, from an ephemeral fragment I viewed, I learned her name was Si Yan. I was curious about everything about her. I had yet to meet her, yet I found myself anticipating our meeting. I had yet to interact with her, but I felt as if I had known her for many, many years.

That day, the sky and earth changed colors. The entire Beast World turned dark. I could distinctly feel this world being invaded by outsiders.

In a panic, I left the cave, transformed into my beast form, and flew towards the Divine Temple. The whole world was alive with thunder and lightning. I felt myself being watched by a pair of terrifying eyes.

I immediately turned back and returned to the tree hollow in White Eagle City.

The sky was different. Being watched all the time was an unpleasant feeling. But I was just a Priest with an endless lifespan; I was not a god, powerless against this feeling. I started to study how to shield this patch of sky within the tree hollow.

Many years passed, many, many years. My tree hollow had been heavily fortified by me and was finally safe, but as soon as I left the hollow, I could still feel that terrible gaze. I was being watched by the sky.

"Where is the Beast God?"

The Beast God was gone. Among the many Priests in the Beast World, none could summon Him. Even I could only see the closed doors of the place where He resided. The Beastmen began to panic, and the area outside my tree hollow was filled with batch after batch of kneeling Beastmen.

"High Priest, is the Beast God still here?"

"High Priest, has the Beast God abandoned us?"

"High Priest, please, help us summon the Beast God."

"The Beast God will not abandon us."

"The Beast God will not leave us behind."

When the entire Beast World fell into despair, I stood up. Looking at the faces filled with hope beneath the tree, I told them, "The Beast God is merely asleep."

"High Priest, are you saying that the Beast God is just sleeping?"

I nodded. My white eyes with their imposing square pupils were very intimidating; I knew they dared not question me.

"Yes, he is sleeping."

After that, I returned to my tree hollow and declined visitors. I wouldn’t leave my tree hollow. I did not welcome others to visit me, and I wouldn’t go to see anyone else.

Inside the tree hollow, I no longer had the strength to view my future Mistress, Si Yan; all my energy was spent watching the impending disaster. After observing for a long, long time, I finally confirmed that something had happened to the Beast God. Although I had once resented him, I cannot deny he was my patron. I revered him even more. With the Beast God in trouble, my entire body felt icy cold, an incredulous sensation spreading through me. His earnest teachings occasionally echoed in my ears: ’Bai Feng, the Beastmen of the Beast World are certainly important, but the Beast World itself is more so. You have become the High Priest; you must see the entire mountains and great rivers. What you protect is not only the Beastmen of this world but also this entire world.’

Suddenly, I looked up at the sky.

"Long Ze," I asked, "you tell me, I’m just a High Priest. How can I stand against the heavens?"
