"Ow!"
A huge male green peafowl let out an unpleasant cry, spreading its semi-transparent, colorless tail feathers as it leisurely roamed the boundless realm of Divine Sense.
Gu Yu sat on its back, also cultivating his spirit and soul.
This peafowl had been nurtured for a long time, and its form had stabilized; it no longer collapsed upon touch. Moreover, its connection with Gu Yu had grown increasingly tight, almost becoming a companion spirit.
"Journey to the West" says that peafowls are naturally ferocious, capable of drawing in humans from forty or fifty miles away to eat their flesh, and one day accidentally swallowed Buddha, who burst out from its back, honoring it as the Mother of Buddha.
This is from a storybook. The actual Buddhist scriptures say: peafowls can eat poison. After consuming poison, not only are they unharmed, but their feathers become even more brilliantly colored.
Regardless, it is widely acknowledged that peafowls are voracious eaters.
