"This cannot be blamed on me. Hey, if you are feeling bored, this small Phoenix can play with you." Vermillion Bird and Shen Yanxiao's feelings were completely contrasting. No one else was fighting for her favor, he finally had his master all to himself; his mood was simply flying upwards.
Sorry for those who continue to act strangely! Don't ever come again to rob me of my master!
Looking at the small Phoenix that was embraced by Vermillion Bird, Shen Yanxiao stretched out her finger to poke at its pudgy body. The soft touch made people unable to stop.
"Chirp~" The delighted small Phoenix squinted his eyes comfortably with a spoiled appearance. It wasn't like a Phoenix at all but more like a hamster.
After a period of correct feeding, the small Phoenix had already lost its original fluff, and small, soft feathers covered his whole body, making it even more lovely.
"Aye." Shen Yanxiao sighed. This depressed mood was not suitable for her. She simply stood up and walked toward her room.
Since entering the Barren Land, she hadn't had much time to cultivate dou qi and magic, so her level in dou qi and magic was still the same as at the time of the school tournament.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Shen Yanxiao calmed down her mood and sank herself into her heart lake.
Inside her tranquil heart lake, a slender figure quietly emerged.
“Xiu, how long will it take before you can unlock the next layer of the seal?” Shen Yanxiao faced the handsome and peerless Xiu and crooked her head to one side.
‘At most two months.' Xiu unhurriedly replied. Obviously, it was such an ice-cold voice, but it made Shen Yanxiao feel very warm.
"Two months? Wouldn't that be also the same time when The Rising Sun City construction would be finish? Then that means there would be two simultaneous happy events to celebrate." Shen Yanxiao smiled and nodded.
'Probably.' said Xiu.
"Then I can't be lazy as well. I'll take advantage of this time to catch up with the progress of my dou qi and magic. Otherwise, even if the next layer of the seal is unlocked, and my strength hasn't gotten much better, it will have no effect at all." Clearly, she had spent a lot of energy during the construction period. She might have eight Mythological Beasts in her hands now, but the world was big; no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be more powerful enemies. Only by continuing to enhance her own strength could she become prepared for anything.
'En.' Xiu softy said.
Shen Yanxiao no longer spoke and just thoroughly entered the cultivation state.
She did not know that when she entered the cultivation state,
Xiu, who was standing in her heart lake, began walking toward Shen Yanxiao's reflection in the heart lake.
Once, he had thought that his host was a waste. He almost gave up his intentions of recovery. But then, Shen Yanxiao had undergone earth-shaking changes overnight. From a good-for-nothing idiot waste, step by step, she had grown to the point where she was now. All this was really impressive.
Shen Yanxiao was like a seed buried in the soil. Xiu had seen her gradually growing in The Rising Sun City, and his own power served as the water source. His power watered her and helped her reach the peak step by step.
Looking at the refined little face of her reflection, Xiu's cold eyes produced an odd look.
As far as he was concerned, there was no difference in any human's appearance. Beauty and ugliness were but a mere symbol.
He looked at Shen Yanxiao's face for a long time. This human was the one he had been with the longest. And her face did not seem to be just a mere symbol; it had a name, and it was Shen Yanxiao.
This little fellow had grown up before his eyes little by little.
