The corner of Mu Liâs mouth twitched slightly, and his heart kept skipping.?This Shuiâer is really one of a kind!?He was sure they wouldnât be lonely if they had the two of them on the road. Unfortunately, a certain someone would never agree.
âDamn it. Donât call me Yinâer.â As expected, the mink exploded again.
âShall I call you Diaoâer then?â Shuiâer probed. He knew that his sweetheart had a bad temper.
âYouâre courting death!â the little silver mink roared furiously.
âMaster, how did I fall for such a fierce mink?â Shuiâer turned to his master with a puzzled expression.
âUh, this⦠I can only say that love is blind. Thereâs nothing you can do when youâre in love!â Huo Qing comforted him, but he was laughing in his heart. Hehe, he hadnât been this happy since the Huo familyâs incident.
âLittle Mu Zi, they can follow if they want!â The little silver mink suddenly changed his mind.?Hmph! Huo Qing, just you wait. I wonât let you go. Iâm letting you follow me because I donât want to waste time settling scores with you in the future.
Naturally, Huo Qing didnât know what was on the mind of a certain vengeful little mink, so he was destined for his tragic future.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thus, the two humans and two beasts set off for the Dragon clan together.
â¦
Meanwhile, Leng Ruoxue and the others were also sitting on Quillâs back and heading toward the Dragon clan.
âGrandpa, do dragons really live on the island opposite Carefree Mountain?â Leng Ruoxue couldnât help asking.
âLegend has it that no one has been to Dragon Island before,â Leng Qingtian explained. Dragon Island was not a place where humans could go. Spirit beasts with noble bloodlines like dragons and phoenixes despised humans the most.
âLittle Girl, the location of Dragon Island has been passed down for thousands of years on the Ling Feng Continent. However, dragons have always been isolated from the world and are strong, so no one has been able to verify the authenticity of this legend.â Old Man also explained that the locations of Dragon Island and Phoenix Nest only existed in legends.
âYes. Ruoxue, letâs go to the Carefree Mountain to look for them first. If we donât find them, we will find them somewhere else,â Lin Liang said comfortingly. He knew that this girl was worried that Feng Da would be tortured in the Dragon clanâs place. Alas, they were also worried! But it wouldnât be so easy to find the nests of the two top spirit beasts.
âMaster, there seems to be a little phoenix up ahead!â Quill said suddenly.
âReally? Where?â Everyone asked curiously.
âRight there,â Quill said with a look.
Everyone looked in the direction of Quillâs gaze and saw a little green bird, seemingly panicking, looking back anxiously while flying.
âThis is a little phoenix? Why is it different from what I know?â Lin Yuan asked curiously. Wasnât it just a bird? There was nothing special about it.
âDidnât I ask you to study hard?â Leng Qingtian knocked Lin Yuan on the head lightly.
âThis is a vermillion bird, and a very rare wood-attribute vermillion bird,â Leng Ruoxue explained.
The Phoenix clan was a very large race. There were not only birds like phoenixes but also vermillion birds, great arguses, and so on. But the leaders of the Phoenix clan had always been phoenixes because of their numbers, while vermillion birds and great arguses were rarely known.
Phoenixes were mostly red and divided into male and female fire phoenixes. There were also a small number of them which were black, blue, and white. The feathers of phoenixes were bright, luxurious, and abnormally beautiful. Vermillion birds and great arguses, on the other hand, might look very similar to phoenixes, but their feathers were not as beautiful as those of phoenixes.
This green vermillion bird should still be underage because apart from the phoenix crown on its head, it was not very different from ordinary birds.
âLittle vermillion bird, did you do something bad?â Quill blocked the path of the little green bird and teased.
âNo. There are bad people behind me who want to capture me!â the little vermillion bird hurriedly explained. His small green eyes darted around, and he suddenly saw Leng Ruoxue, so he threw himself into her arms without a care.
âBig Sister, save me! There are bad people who want to capture this cute Inflame,â the vermillion bird, which claimed to be called Inflame, said with a slight sobbing tone as if he had found a backer.
âGet lost, damn bird. Big Sister is mine.â Baby, which had been dominating Leng Ruoxueâs arms, couldnât take it anymore when he saw someone coming to snatch his big sister away! He immediately roared loudly.
âBig Sister.â Inflame looked at Leng Ruoxue pitifully. Tears quickly welled up in his eyes, but they refused to fall.
âOkay, stop pretending to be pitiful. Tell me. What benefits will I get by helping you?â Leng Ruoxue said in a businesslike manner. She just happened to be looking for someone to ask for directions when this vermillion bird came knocking on her door.
âWhat do you mean by benefits?â Inflame asked, his little face full of question marks.
âUh⦠I mean, what will I get if I help you?!â Leng Ruoxue said with a face full of black lines.?Ugh! I actually want benefits from a bird.
âI have a lot of Chinaberry fruits I can give Big Sister.â Inflameâs green eyes rolled around, thinking for a long time before he replied reluctantly.?Boohooâ¦?This was his favorite food. He usually couldnât bear to eat them.
âI donât need that thing,â Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly. She wasnât a phoenix, so how could she be interested in Chinaberry fruits!
âLittle vermillion bird, do you know where Dragon Island is?â Leng Ruoxue asked directly, in case this vermillion bird thought that she was going to snatch food from him again.
âYes. Dragon Island is very close to our Phoenix Nest!â Inflame didnât understand why this big sister was asking about this, but he answered her honestly.
âThen Iâll help you chase away the bad guys, and you tell me the location of Dragon Island, okay?â Leng Ruoxue began to negotiate with the little vermillion bird.
âBig Sister, are you going to Dragon Island? Donât go. Itâs so stinky there. Those stinky dragons are so dirty, and they donât bathe every day,â Inflame said disdainfully.
âBig Sister wants to go to Dragon Island to save someone,â Leng Ruoxue said with some amusement. It seemed that this little vermillion bird didnât have a good impression of Dragon Island.
âOh, then Iâll bring Big Sister along,â Inflame said proactively.
âHow dare you snatch the spirit beast I want!â An angry roar sounded in the ears of Leng Ruoxue and the others.
