Chapter 484 "Super Cutey Little Phoenix (1)"
Build an independent territory?
As it so happens, this idea from the old monster just so coincides with Ling Yue's own intent.
The actions thus far from the king had long disgusted the girl to the core. Now that things are coming together, it's only normal she would take it. To be clear, it's not like she's just going to make claim to this ancient forest on her own, she intends to use the reward from solving the black fog to her advantage.
Like the gleeful looking A'bone, the rest were all showing looks of approval.
“Whether or not this will succeed is still up for debate. The key is to solve the black fog first. Until then, any further planning about the long term is pointless right now." Not wanting her friends to jump ahead of themselves, Ling Yue first doused the flame before it got out of hand.
There's a lot of things to get done here until they headed out for North Qing, the first and foremost being the matter with her friend Little Crow. She's got the essence blood from that ancient phoenix already, it's time she got down to business since there's s.p.a.ce in this timeframe.
“Little Crow, go head and take it. Me and Little Squeak will watch over you during this time."
Receiving the drop of essence blood, the bird was so full of grat.i.tude that it looked like she would start crying at any moment.
“Squeak (Boss, Little Crow would be fine right?)" Instead of the bird herself, it was the little guy here who seems to be the most nervous about the matter.
“I can't say for certain, the fusion of the phoenix blood can be small and big. From what I heard, that ancient phoenix from the Immortal Jade Garden is at least a thousand years old, that means the drop here should equate to a hundred years of its cultivation. Whether or not Little Crow can integrate it properly is all up to her own fate and ability." Cautious in her face, Ling Yue also seems a tad worried there as well.
After drinking the blood as instructed, the bird initially didn't show any reaction. But then……
BANG!!
Naturally Ling Yue and Little Squeak were both majorly scared off their feet at the sight, especially the little guy who wanted to rush over immediately. Luckily he was caught in the nick of time, otherwise the flames would've engulfed him too and turned the entire process into a mess.
“Hold on Little Squeak, settle down. Little Crow is the child of an ice and fire phoenix, she shouldn't be afraid any flames." Her guess wasn't wrong.
Within the ball of fire, the bird's original black feathers were being burned away and slowly replaced by something entirely new.
After a full day later, the girl and fox were both fast asleep after tiring themselves out. That's why, by the time these two managed awake from their slumber the following morning, what came into their view was something truly astonis.h.i.+ng and mind-blowing.
It was a girl, or to be more precise, a Lolita looking girl of exemplary appearance.
She had big pearly eyes like a pair of grapes, long curly red hair and a coat made entirely out of feathers of different color. Truly a lovable doll that needs to be hugged at first glance.
