After a while, Wen Ruyu came back to his senses. When he looked up, he saw a woman in front of him, who resembled his junior sister, looking at him with disgust.
Wen Ruyu frowned. Holding a fiery red spirit egg, he struggled to get up from the ground. His face, usually adorned with a gentle smile, was now cold. "You want to reap without sowing? You're even more shameless than Hong Yu Ning."
Hong Yu Ning, who was about to rush forward to save the damsel, instantly stopped. Forget it, let them beat him to death. He didn't want this senior brother anymore...
Unexpectedly, such a handsome man would say such unpleasant words. Ming Yue's expression flickered with a hint of awkwardness, but seeing the spirit beast egg in his arms, she gritted her teeth. She looked at Wen Ruyu unyieldingly, her eyes turning red as she spoke in a very wronged tone, "Big brother..."
Wen Ruyu said, "Scram!"
Ming Yue...
Seeing this, the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect were all agitated. One by one, they stepped forward and protected Ming Yue behind them, as if Wen Ruyu had bullied her.
"Wen Ruyu, our junior sister just wants your spirit beast egg. Why are you being so fierce with her!"
"That's right! It's just a spirit beast egg!"
"Heh..." Wen Ruyu let out a cold sneer. "It's just a spirit beast egg? If you have the ability, go to the Flame Domain yourself and pick one for your junior sister. What, is your Vermilion Bird Sect not just one shameless person, but all of you are shameless?"
The disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect...
As the atmosphere became tense, a faint sound came from the spirit beast egg in Wen Ruyu's arms.
"Crack—"
Everyone present heard the faint sound, and their gazes shifted en masse to the spirit beast egg in Wen Ruyu's arms.
Before long, faint cracks appeared on the fiery red spirit beast egg.
"Crack— Crack—"
"Crack—"
A sharp beak broke through the shell.
Time ticked by, and a fluffy, adorable little bird soon appeared in everyone's sight.
At the same time, a phoenix cry resounded throughout the entire secret realm. After hearing the phoenix cry, all the demonic beasts, spirit beasts, and magical beasts in the secret realm prostrated themselves on the ground in submission.
"Daddy~"
Wen Ruyu... ? What the heck?
Hearing the word "Daddy," Wen Ruyu was completely stunned.
The disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect opposite him saw the little spirit beast in his arms and heard its voice. Their eyes lit up.
The male protagonist, Pei Yan, standing by the side, also had his eyes light up upon hearing the little spirit beast's voice. "It's a phoenix!"
Don't ask him how he knew. It's because his contracted beast is a phoenix...
The disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect, !!! Generally, only divine beasts could speak. They had only thought this was just a talking divine beast, but it was actually a phoenix!
No! This phoenix must belong to their Vermilion Bird Sect!
With that thought, the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
Finally, the eldest senior brother of the Vermilion Bird Sect walked towards Wen Ruyu and said, in what he considered a polite manner, "We want your spirit beast. Can you give it to us?"
Hearing this, Wen Ruyu couldn't even bother to roll his eyes. He held the little phoenix protectively in his arms, his gaze towards the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect filled with vigilance.
He had heard their earlier words. This was something he had painstakingly brought out of the Flame Domain. Whether it was a phoenix or a divine beast, it was his property.
As if sensing Wen Ruyu's emotions, the little phoenix in his arms turned its head and glared fiercely at the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect, "Bad guys! You're not allowed to bully my daddy!"
