Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Little Yuan’er raised her head and looked at the huge Fire Phoenix hovering next to her master with an extrely unwilling expression on her face.
Yu Zhenghai waved his hand and said, “Ninth Junior Sister, master is calling you. You have to go.”
Little Yuan’er’s eyes lit up as she grabbed the scruff of the little Fire Phoenix’s neck before shoving it to Yu Zhenghai and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, why don’t you help look after it.”
“Alright,” Yu Zhenghai said with a smile.
At this ti, Lu Zhou transmitted his voice to both Yu Zhenghai and Little Yuan’er.
“Yuan’er, bring the little Fire Phoenix here.”
Little Yuan’er: “...”
Yu Zhenghai sighed and handed the little Fire Phoenix back to Little Yuan’er. Then, he said with a sigh, “It’s only natural for a mother to look for her child. You don’t want it to be without its mother, right? Moreover, imagine how sad it would be without its mother.”
Little Yuan’er nodded reluctantly and said, “I know. However, why does it seem like you’re cursing its mother to die?”
“Is it?” Yu Zhenghai asked.
Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, and the others nodded. It did seem like he was cursing the Fire Phoenix.
In the end, Little Yuan’er could only bring the little Fire Phoenix and followed Conch to her master’s side.
…
When the Fire Phoenix saw Little Yuan’er holding the little Fire Phoenix by the scruff of its neck, its eyes widened. It was furious. Flas began to surge around it again.
Lu Zhou said, “You better restrain your temper. Otherwise, you might not be able to reunite with the little Fire Phoenix.”
The Fire Phoenix: “...”
When Little Yuan’er and Conch arrived by Lu Zhou’s side, he said again, “It’s living much better than you’d imagined.”
The Fire Phoenix made a string of noises.
Conch translated in a low voice, “It said that it doesn’t believe you. It said that you must have been torturing its daughter.”
“Torturing?” Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “You really don’t live up to your status as a divine beast. Take a look for yourself before you judge.”
The Fire Phoenix looked at the little Fire Phoenix in Little Yuan’er’s hand and chirped.
The little Fire Phoenix responded happily and flapped its wings.
Conch said, “The little Fire Phoenix said it was happy staying with Ninth Senior Sister and that she had lots of fun and… delicious food to eat.”
The little Fire Phoenix flapped its wings again, slowly rising up.
Little Yuan’er wanted to grab the little Fire Phoenix, but when she heard Conch’s words, she changed her mind. She thought that perhaps, her Eldest Senior Brother was right. A child without its mother would not lead a happy life. With that, she thought about her own situation as well. However, she thought she was better off than the little Phoenix. At least, she had grown up by her parents’ side. When she first left ho and joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, she was depressed for a long ti. Compared to her, the little Fire Phoenix was truly too miserable; it was separated from its mother before it even broke its eggshell. She understood the pain of separation all too well.
The little Fire Phoenix spat out a ball of flas at this mont.
…
“...”
Qin Renyue, Fan Zhong, Shang Yan, Gu Ning, and the others were stunned.
Lu Zhou was quite far away from them and had communicated telepathically with the Fire Phoenix so they had no idea what was going on. However, they were not blind. All of them had seen the little bird spitting out a ball of flas.
“H-how’s this possible?”
“I thought it was so special sparrow-like beast.”
“It’s actually the Fire Phoenix’s hatchling! No wonder the Fire Phoenix ca here!”
…
When the Fire Phoenix saw the little Fire Phoenix spitting out a ball of flas, it opened its beaks slightly as its eyes widened. It looked unusually happy. The flas around it died down, revealing its dazzling red feathers.
The little Fire Phoenix flew over and circled the Fire Phoenix.
Blood was thicker than water. It was the sa for humans and beasts.
At this ti, the Fire Phoenix made a string of noises again.
Conch said, “Master, it’s apologizing to you.”
Lu Zhou said, “You should apologize to them. You burned their ho. Think about it. If I killed your child, how would you feel?”
The Fire Phoenix was stunned. Then, its sharp claws moved.
Swoosh!
A drop of blood flew toward Qin Renyue and the others.
Qin Renyue was overjoyed when he saw this. He quickly used an energy seal to contain the drop of true blood.
Conch turned around and said, “Venerable Master Qin, this is the compensation from the Fire Phoenix. It hopes that you’ll forgive it.”
Qin Renyue would not stoop to the of a beast and be petty. Moreover, even if he was petty, he did not have the strength to back it up. If the Fire Phoenix wanted to leave without compensating him, he would not be able to stop it. It was good enough that he was compensated with its true blood.
Finally, Qin Renyue cupped his fists together and said, “Alright, alright.”
The others looked at Qin Renyue enviously.
At this ti, the Fire Phoenix turned around and flapped its wings.
The little Fire Phoenix chirped next to it, making noises along with its mother. Then, it began to scratch at its mother’s body, looking like a spoiled child who was throwing a tantrum.
“...”
Lu Zhou looked at Conch.
Conch said, “The little Fire Phoenix said it doesn’t want to leave.”
Little Yuan’er smiled and said, “If it doesn’t want to leave, then stay!” Then, she said to the little Fire Phoenix, “I’ll take care of you!”
Swoosh!
Flas surged again.
The Fire Phoenix was bathed in flas again as its anger surged. It spread its wings as it glared at the little Fire Phoenix.
Upon seeing this, the little Fire Phoenix flew five ters back and spread its wings that spanned about seven or eight ters wide. Then, flas began to surge around it as well.
One big and one small were confronting each other!
When the Fire Phoenix saw the flas surging around the little Fire Phoenix, its eyes widened again. Perhaps, if it were human, there would be an incredulous expression on its face.
No one in the world knew better than the Fire Phoenix the progress of Fire Phoenixes. The little Fire Phoenix’s performance showed that it was way ahead. Moreover, the little Fire Phoenix even dared to challenge it.
The confrontation lasted for a long ti before the huge Fire Phoenix extinguished its flas, folded its wings, and lowered its head.
Conch said, “Master, it has agreed to let the little Fire Phoenix stay.”
“Oh?”
“But it said that only Ninth Senior Sister is allowed to take care of the little Fire Phoenix. No one else is allowed to touch the little Fire Phoenix,” Conch said. After a brief pause, she continued saying through voice transmission, “It said that the noble Fire Phoenix clan can’t be defiled by lowly humans. It said that Ninth Senior Sister possessed the Great Void Seed so she’s qualified to look after the little Fire Phoenix.”
Lu Zhou was not angry. Lu Wu was like this, after all. Humans and fierce beasts were not the sa. Hence, he said telepathically, “Since you know about this, I won’t hide it from you. Not only does my disciple possess the Great Void Seed, but its energy is able to nourish the little Fire Phoenix. With this, in the future, not only will the little Fire Phoenix beco a divine beast, but it can even be a supre being.”
The huge Fire Phoenix lowered its head, blinking its eyes that were like the sun.
Conch said, “Master, it tells you to set a condition to let the little Fire Phoenix stay by Ninth Senior Sister’s side.”
Lu Zhou remained calm as he said, “My condition is simple. Lend your life heart.”
Upon hearing this, the huge Fire Phoenix unfurled its wings that spanned thousands of feet.
Lu Zhou said, “You can think about it first. It’s said that divine beasts are highly intelligent. So far, based on your performance, it doesn’t seem to be true.”
These words extinguished the Fire Phoenix’s flas and anger imdiately. It froze.
The little Fire Phoenix kept chirping and flapping its wings at this mont.
Not long after that, the Fire Phoenix nodded.
Conch said, “Master, it has agreed. However, it insists on watching you use its life heart and that it has to be returned imdiately after you’re done. It said that humans are the most despicable and shaless species in the world. It won’t give you a chance to steal its life heart away.”
Lu Zhou said, “I can’t use the life heart now. Why don’t you let borrow it the next ti you co looking for the little Fire Phoenix?”
