After confirming again with Fire Feather, Lin Yi led the two little creatures to the outside of Fire Fierce’s Cave Mansion. But he called for nearly an hour, there was no response from inside.

Lin Yi asked the cultivators at Raging Fire Peak and found out that Fire Fierce

Senior Uncle hadn’t come back yet. He had no choice but to leave his own Sound Transmission Talisman outside the protective shield of the Cave Mansion.

When he came back, he interrogated Zhi Ling and Fire Feather, but the two little creatures acted in unison and refused to speak, leaving him quite helpless.

About a month later, Fire Feather became more and more attached to him. He felt that this affection even could make Fire Feather resist the orders from Fire Fierce Senior Uncle.

One day, while Lin Yi was watering the medicinal fields, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew over. He usually didn’t use defensive array at home, so the talisman could fly in unobstructed.

He activated the Sound Transmission Talisman, and the voice of Fire Fierce came through, “Kid, I’m back, bring that damned bird over. Let’s see if it still recognises me as its master.”

At this moment, Fire Feather, who was playing with Zhi Ling, also heard the transmission speech and quickly flew over.

With its wings pointing in the direction of Fire Fierce’s Cave Mansion, it chirped incessantly, seemingly unable to wait to get there, showing no resistance at all like before.

Lin Yi smiled. He had been guessing about Zhi Ling’s scheme over the past month, “Fire Feather, are you wanting to go back to Fire Fierce?”

Fire Feather nodded without hesitation, chirping happily, showing extreme joy.

Lin Yi glanced at Zhi Ling who was acting like nothing happened, he laughed and scolded, “Zhi Ling, I think you’ve given Fire Feather an idea. Tell me quickly.”

Zhi Ling didn’t conceal anymore, he proudly took out some Monster Beast Meat from his pocket, put it on the ground, drew a flame pattern with his little paw, and then chirped twice at Fire Feather.

Fire Feather happily flew over and started devouring the Monster Beast Meat.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh out, “I was right, Zhi Ling, you little rascal, you’re full of tricks.”

His previous guess was the same. Zhi Ling must want Fire Feather to pretend to return to Fire Fierce, then devour madly to enhance his own power.

This trick he had used himself on Big Black and Little Black, making them steal their owner’s Spirit Rice. He never expected it would be learned and applied by Zhi Ling.

He couldn’t help but sigh, like master, like mink.

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then patted Fire Feather’s head, “Fire Feather, think carefully. If you go back to Fire Fierce Senior Uncle, you may still be treated coldly.”

Fire Feather nodded earnestly, looked at the flame pattern on the ground, and kept pecking at it with its beak.

“Alright, I respect your choice, just look after yourself properly,” Lin Yi instructed, while stroking Fire Feather’s fur.

Zhi Ling came over to say goodbye to Fire Feather, chirping some words, and Fire Feather chirped back.

Lin Yi got the general idea of their conversation through his bloodline connection with Zhi Ling. It seemed they were instructing Fire Feather to stick to the plan. The two little creatures were surely up to something.

He put Fire Feather into the Spirit Pet Bag, took Zhi Ling, and flew on his Flying Boat to Raging Fire Peak.

“Fire Fierce Senior Uncle, disciple Lin Yi is here to return from my mission,” Lin Yi said, with a bow outside the door of the Cave Mansion.

Before his words had fallen, the fog in front of him automatically dispersed to both sides, revealing a familiar path.

Fire Fierce looked at Lin Yi, his face showing displeasure, “You sure took your time, kid. Bring that damn bird here quick, I want to see if it’s a useless creature that can’t be domesticated.”

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Uncle, what if it really doesn’t want to come back?”

“Heh heh, then I’ll give it to you, of course.” Fire Fierce’s face broke out in a brilliant smile.

Seeing this, Lin Yi’s heart sank. His analysis was indeed correct. Fire Fierce was probably going to give him the dead body of Fire Spirit Bird.

He pretended to be happy, bowing and saying, “Thank you, Uncle, I have successfully completed the mission, please check.”

Fire Fierce took the Spirit Pet Bag, slapped it a few times with his palm, then released Fire Spirit Bird. His voice thundered, “Fire Bird, whom do you….

However, before he could finish speaking, the Fire Spirit Bird quickly flew towards Fire Fierce, and perched on his shoulder, its eyes coldly staring at Lin Yi.

This took Fire Fierce by surprise; he hadn’t expected the Fire Spirit Bird to choose him directly. But seeing its eyes, which were uncannily similar to his own, he couldn’t help but break into a smile.

Lin Yi stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what was unfolding. “Fire Feather, why would you choose Senior Uncle Fire Fierce? I’ve been feeding you for three whole months. Shouldn’t our bond be stronger? You’re so heartless.”

Seeing Lin Yi’s devastated expression, Fire Fierce burst into hearty laughter.

“Ha ha ha, boy, did you really think a few months of feeding would make the Fire Bird acknowledge you as its master? Dream on, my bird is a heartless bird.”

At this moment, Zhi Ling suddenly crawled out of Lin Yi’s shirt pocket and sprinted towards Fire Fierce, or more precisely, towards the Fire Spirit Bird.

It was chirping away, seemingly yearning to call back its past companion.

However, the Fire Spirit Bird coldly cast a glance at it and promptly spewed a ball of flame.

Zhi Ling failed to dodge it and was hit by the aftermath of the flame, flopping onto the ground and crying pitifully.

“Hahaha, good job, Fire Bird! A degraded Lightning Mink actually dares to be friends with my bird, how ridiculous.”

Witnessing this, Fire Fierce felt even more elated. Exceptionally, he reached out to pet the Fire Spirit Bird and praised it.

Lin Yi swiftly rushed to Zhi Ling. He sighed, relieved when he found it was uninjured. He hadn’t expected this little duo to put on such a performance.

He looked sorrowfully at the Fire Spirit Bird, “Fire Feather, I even gave you a name. How could you treat your little playmate like that?”

Without a hint of hesitation, the Fire Spirit Bird let out another jet of flame.

Lin Yi quickly invoked a defensive spell to block it. He clenched his teeth and said, “Senior Uncle Fire Fierce, it appears I lost. I didn’t realize that your spiritual pet would share your character so completely.”

Fire Fierce, on the other hand, was ecstatic. “Boy, remember not to boast next time. But you have done a decent job of looking after the Fire Bird. Next time, I’ll still look for you and even recommend you to other cultivators who own spiritual pets. Hahaha.”

“Here is my emblem, use it to complete the mission.”

At this moment, he suddenly waved his hand, “Wait… there’s also this Sound Transmission Talisman. I’m in a good mood today and since you looked after the bird for three months, I’ll give you two hundred Merit Points. Now scram.”

With that, he pulled out a Sound Transmission Talisman, spoke a few words into it, and threw it to Lin Yi.

There was no trace of a smile on Lin Yi’s face. He cast a sorrowful look at the Fire Spirit Bird one last time before hastily turning and leaving.

Fire Fierce’s hearty laughter followed him, “Hahaha, my good bird, you’re supposed to be heartless.”

Lin Yi steered his Flying Boat and left Raging Fire Peak. He proceeded to Tian Yun Xian City, returned the task, and received two hundred Merit Points.

He now only needed two hundred more points to complete this year’s merit task.

Throughout this whole process, he kept an impassive face.

It wasn’t until he entered the boundary of the Golden Sword Lineage that a smile appeared on his face. He patted Zhi Ling on the head, “You two little rascals really know how to act.”

Zhi Line stood proudly on his shoulder. hands on hips. chirving triumphantly.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but smirk. Fire Fierce had previously said he would recommend him to other cultivators with spiritual pets. He sure hoped Fire Fierce would follow through with that promise.

If he managed to bamboozle all the spiritual pets in the Divine Fire Lineage, the thought alone was exhilarating. He would be using others’ cookware to support his spiritual pets.

Upon returning to Jin Qiao Peak, he submerged himself in relentless cultivation, striving to early achieve the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining and become the highest-ranked Qi cultivator.

Once he had accomplished that, he could try to bring into reality the title that he had been imagining for himself..
