After Qiao Chen drove Xiao Qinan away, he began to dress up the rooster. If not, then how else would he be able to successfully lure the steel winged eagle?

It was only after Qiao Chen learned about the steel eagle's characteristics from the system, did he think of the plan to disguise the rooster as a steel winged eagle to lure the real one out.

Qiao Chen first fabricated a large pair of wings from the other roosters. Then he attached it onto the largest one he had specially picked out. After, he painted some of the ink on the rooster and sprinkled a powdery substance to change the rooster's scent. In order to stop the rooster from crowing, Qiao Chen also fabricated a steel winged eagle beak to cover the rooster's mouth and tie it shut.

After Qiao Chen finished, he looked the creature over, and nodded his head in satisfaction. Even with him being this close to the rooster, it was still difficult to quickly find out that the animal was a fake.

When Prince Yong An's and the Xiao family's sides clamored up the mountain, Qiao Chen had long told his servants to secretly carry the painted rooster in a big bamboo cage up the mountain.

Qiao Chen asked Feng Bi to climb up the tree and tie the rooster onto a large and prominent branch. Then he put his special green net beside him.

Feng Shu hid under the tree with green leaves. He held the rope that was connected to the net. Qiao Chen and Feng Shu, on the other hand, hid behind a different tree to watch.

The steel winged eagle appeared and Qiao Chen was honestly worried. He wasn't 100% sure that his method would succeed.

The eagle had flown nearly all the way over to his trap, but had suddenly flown back away. Qiao Chen wondered, inwardly, 'Did the steel winged eagle find out it was a fake from so far away? The plan didn't work?'

Even though the eagle flew away so quickly, Qiao Chen still decided to wait and see. Fortunately, after a while, the eagle returned with a snake in its beak. Qiao Chen quietly smirked. It turns out that it left to grab a present.

The steel winged eagle landed on the branch beside the rooster and tried to gain the 'female's' favor. It stretched his head out and presented the gift. Qiao Chen gestured to Feng Shu to trip the trap.

Feng Shu tugged at the rope in his hands and the steel winged eagle, along with the rooster, was trapped in a net. Qiao Chen and Feng Bi quickly rushed over to help. The three worked together and pulled the eagle and rooster down from the tree.

Feng Shu and Feng Bi used iron clips to restrain the eagle's wings. Qiao Chen immediately followed with a special iron clamp and secured the beak shut.

Qiao Chen took out a big pair of scissors, squatted down, and said, "I'm so sorry. Not only did I deceive your feelings, but I'm clipping your wings too."

The steel winged eagle was trapped in the net and couldn't move. It had no choice but to let Qiao Chen cut a dozen of its big feathers. Qiao Chen put the cut feathers into the bamboo tube and had Feng Shu and Feng Bi let the eagle go*.

(T/N: I assume it's an every other feather clip since it can still fly.)

After the trio removed the net and restraints, they quickly retreated to avoid injury. It wasn't easy to deal with an angry steel winged eagle. However, the released eagle didn't get angry nor did it fly away. Instead, it constantly nudged its head at the rooster as if to say 'let it go with me'.
