Chapter 412: I Don’t Want To Take Care of a Child (3)

Shen Yanxiao nodded and narrowed her eyes at the Vermillion Bird.

“Do you still want to deny this? The little Phoenix hatched three days earlier because of you.”

The Vermilion Bird shrunk his neck. Even though he was full of pride, he was never unreasonable. With the facts laid out before him, he had no excuse to reject their request.

However…

He did not want to take care of a child!

“Chu~?” The little Phoenix on his head sensed the Vermilion Bird’s emotional fluctuation, but the ignorant little creature did not know that its ‘family’ had disliked its closeness. Instead, it tried to comfort the Vermillion Bird by rubbing on his head.

“…” The Vermilion Bird looked even more displeased.

“Now that things have progressed to this point, how could you possibly shirk your responsibilities as a mythical beast! You are an ancient mythical beast, don’t you know about responsibilities?” Shen Yanxiao continued to fan the fire.

The Vermilion Bird looked bitter. Shen Yanxiao’s words had hit the bullseye. He could disregard everything else, but he cared about his dignity as a mythical beast.

Shen Yanxiao even mentioned the thing that he cared most about, and he had nothing to refute her words.

“Was it not only to take care of it? Why do you need to be that fierce with me? Am I not your magical beast? You yelled at me because of a little creature. Is there another master as heartless as you?” The aggrieved Vermilion Bird glared at her and thought about how he had never seen a master who would instead help an outsider than their magical beast.

However, when he recalled how Shen Yanxiao had bravely rushed to his side when he was in great danger, a trace of warmth flowed through his prideful heart.

Even though this master was black-hearted, unscrupulous and would often enslave him, at least she knew to protect him.

Hmph!

On account of her earlier performance, he would, reluctantly, agree to take the junior with him.

The Vermilion Bird found an honorable excuse for his compromise.

It was not because Shen Yanxiao had yelled at him. Absolutely not!

Shen Yanxiao quirked her eyebrows. The Vermilion Bird’s compromise made everything much simpler, and the two Phoenixes were also relieved.

“Are there any conditions for your new home? I have a pretty good location that I could recommend to you.” Shen Yanxiao suddenly thought of a rather suitable location for the Phoenixes’ new nest.

The Vermilion Bird was stunned for a moment, and he had a bad feeling in the pit of his gut.

The Phoenix-man smiled and said, “Well, it must be hidden and safe, with an abundance of fire elements. It would be best if it was further away from where humans live. That’s about it.”

The fire element was an elemental power that was naturally produced in the world, but it would not be an easy feat to find sufficient fire elemental power for their use. Furthermore, the Longxuan Empire had a dense population, and humans had occupied most of the lands that were filled with abundances of elemental power. Therefore, it was not an easy feat to find a quiet area while avoiding the human populace.

Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, “Then the location I had should be rather fitting to your requirements. In the heart of the Longxuan Empire, there is a valley called the Lava Valley. The fire elements there would not be less than what you could find at Mount Kuluo. Furthermore, that is the forbidden area of the Vermilion Bird Family. Other than the main family members, no one is allowed inside.”

When the Vermilion Bird heard the two words’ Lava Valley’, he nearly jumped out to strangle his master.

How could she be so shameless to offer his home to those two stupid birds!

Furthermore, she did it right in front of him too!

Did she even stop to consider his feelings?

When the two Phoenixes heard about the location that Shen Yanxiao mentioned, their eyes immediately brightened.
