"Li Qi, my nephew!" Guang Xiaoyu cleared her throat.
"Present!"
"Lead the way."
"..."
「Three days later,」 the two found the Earth Chicken. She and Mao Qiu had just been chased out by a small sect and looked quite disheveled.
However, excitement and anticipation filled Mao Qiu's eyes.
Upon seeing Li Qi, the Earth Chicken cursed and spat, "Ill-fated, ill-fated!"
I don't want to take Li Qi with me, she thought. The boy is too dull, with a one-track mind. His presence would only interfere with my plans.
WOOF WOOF WOOF!
Guang Xiaoyu's Hei ran out from her arms, barking a few times, its row of snow-white teeth displaying innocence and simplicity.
"Oh?"
It was then Guang Xiaoyu noticed the Earth Chicken's form had changed—she was larger than before, with vibrant feathers, and shrouded in an indescribable aura.
Is it really an Ancient Phoenix? she wondered in surprise.
