Chapter 204: The Little Vermillion Bird Seeking Help (3)
The corner of Mu Li’s mouth twitched slightly, and his heart kept skipping.?This Shui’er is really one of a kind!?He was sure they wouldn’t be lonely if they had the two of them on the road. Unfortunately, a certain someone would never agree.
“Damn it. Don’t call me Yin’er.” As expected, the mink exploded again.
“Shall I call you Diao’er then?” Shui’er probed. He knew that his sweetheart had a bad temper.
“You’re courting death!” the little silver mink roared furiously.
“Master, how did I fall for such a fierce mink?” Shui’er turned to his master with a puzzled expression.
“Uh, this… I can only say that love is blind. There’s nothing you can do when you’re in love!” Huo Qing comforted him, but he was laughing in his heart. Hehe, he hadn’t been this happy since the Huo family’s incident.
“Little Mu Zi, they can follow if they want!” The little silver mink suddenly changed his mind.?Hmph! Huo Qing, just you wait. I won’t let you go. I’m letting you follow me because I don’t want to waste time settling scores with you in the future.
Naturally, Huo Qing didn’t know what was on the mind of a certain vengeful little mink, so he was destined for his tragic future.
Thus, the two humans and two beasts set off for the Dragon clan together.
…
Meanwhile, Leng Ruoxue and the others were also sitting on Quill’s back and heading toward the Dragon clan.
“Grandpa, do dragons really live on the island opposite Carefree Mountain?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help asking.
“Legend has it that no one has been to Dragon Island before,” 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.
“Little 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.” Old Man also explained that the locations of Dragon Island and Phoenix Nest only existed in legends.
“Yes. Ruoxue, let’s go to the Carefree Mountain to look for them first. If we don’t find them, we will find them somewhere else,” Lin Liang said comfortingly. He knew that this girl was worried that Feng Da would be tortured in the Dragon clan’s place. Alas, they were also worried! But it wouldn’t be so easy to find the nests of the two top spirit beasts.
“Master, there seems to be a little phoenix up ahead!” Quill said suddenly.
“Really? Where?” Everyone asked curiously.
“Right there,” Quill said with a look.
Everyone looked in the direction of Quill’s gaze and saw a little green bird, seemingly panicking, looking back anxiously while flying.
“This is a little phoenix? Why is it different from what I know?” Lin Yuan asked curiously. Wasn’t it just a bird? There was nothing special about it.
“Didn’t I ask you to study hard?” Leng Qingtian knocked Lin Yuan on the head lightly.
“This is a vermillion bird, and a very rare wood-attribute vermillion bird,” 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.
“Little vermillion bird, did you do something bad?” Quill blocked the path of the little green bird and teased.
“No. There are bad people behind me who want to capture me!” 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.
“Big Sister, save me! There are bad people who want to capture this cute Inflame,” the vermillion bird, which claimed to be called Inflame, said with a slight sobbing tone as if he had found a backer.
“Get lost, damn bird. Big Sister is mine.” Baby, which had been dominating Leng Ruoxue’s arms, couldn’t take it anymore when he saw someone coming to snatch his big sister away! He immediately roared loudly.
“Big Sister.” Inflame looked at Leng Ruoxue pitifully. Tears quickly welled up in his eyes, but they refused to fall.
“Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful. Tell me. What benefits will I get by helping you?” 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.
“What do you mean by benefits?” Inflame asked, his little face full of question marks.
“Uh… I mean, what will I get if I help you?!” Leng Ruoxue said with a face full of black lines.?Ugh! I actually want benefits from a bird.
“I have a lot of Chinaberry fruits I can give Big Sister.” Inflame’s green eyes rolled around, thinking for a long time before he replied reluctantly.?Boohoo…?This was his favorite food. He usually couldn’t bear to eat them.
“I don’t need that thing,” Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly. She wasn’t a phoenix, so how could she be interested in Chinaberry fruits!
“Little vermillion bird, do you know where Dragon Island is?” Leng Ruoxue asked directly, in case this vermillion bird thought that she was going to snatch food from him again.
“Yes. Dragon Island is very close to our Phoenix Nest!” Inflame didn’t understand why this big sister was asking about this, but he answered her honestly.
“Then I’ll help you chase away the bad guys, and you tell me the location of Dragon Island, okay?” Leng Ruoxue began to negotiate with the little vermillion bird.
“Big Sister, are you going to Dragon Island? Don’t go. It’s so stinky there. Those stinky dragons are so dirty, and they don’t bathe every day,” Inflame said disdainfully.
“Big Sister wants to go to Dragon Island to save someone,” Leng Ruoxue said with some amusement. It seemed that this little vermillion bird didn’t have a good impression of Dragon Island.
“Oh, then I’ll bring Big Sister along,” Inflame said proactively.
“How dare you snatch the spirit beast I want!” An angry roar sounded in the ears of Leng Ruoxue and the others.
