Xiao Man couldn't help but laugh, "If you keep rolling around, I'll call you a battle chicken from now on."
Upon hearing this, the little phoenix immediately jumped up from the ground. With its short legs, it ran to Xiao Man's front, affectionately rubbing against Xiao Man's hand. Its bright, sparkling eyes pleaded with Xiao Man, as if saying it didn't want to be called a battle chicken.
"Hmm, seeing how obedient you are, I won't call you a battle chicken. Then what name should I give you?" Xiao Man asked thoughtfully.
The little phoenix quickly spun around, shaking its sparse feathers, projecting an imposing aura as if it were the ruler of all birds. After all, it was the king of a hundred birds and deserved a grand name.
Nangong Yu, watching from the side, was highly amused, "Turkey?"
As soon as it heard the word "chicken," the little phoenix's eyes turned red. It jumped up, ready to fight Nangong Yu. However, it was no match for him. After jumping for a long time, it was only knee-high to Nangong Yu and could not cause any harm.
The little phoenix grew anxious and suddenly spat a flame at Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu was caught off guard and his robes were ignited. He quickly tore off his robes, thus avoiding becoming roasted chicken.
"Heh, you little thing, you only dare to act tough with me. If she called you a battle chicken, why didn't you dare to set her on fire?" Nangong Yu was indignant. Why was the treatment so different for the same person?
The little phoenix, with its short legs, elegantly walked to Xiao Man's side and affectionately rubbed against Xiao Man's leg. Fool, how can it be the same? She is my master, my mother, you are not!
Xiao Man laughed until tears streamed down her face. Under the little phoenix's reproachful gaze, she suppressed her laughter, "You can breathe fire and you like to dance, how about I call you Fire Dance?"
Upon hearing this, the little phoenix thought the name was fitting. Battle chicken and turkey were simply insults to its noble divine beast status. It immediately happily rubbed against Xiao Man's leg, indicating its satisfaction with the name.
Xiao Man reached out and gently stroked the three hairs on the little phoenix's head. The little phoenix closed its eyes in enjoyment, seeming to love Xiao Man's caress. Su Dan Novel Network.
"This little thing has truly become sentient," Nangong Yu couldn't help but exclaim. "If it's truly a phoenix, then you've gained an extraordinary contracted beast... By the way, have you contracted it?"
Xiao Man opened her hand; the wound on her finger had already healed. This little thing had been hiding in the eggshell, likely waiting for her to reach out. The wound on her fingertip was pecked by this little thing.
"It contracted my life-bound beast by itself."
Nangong Yu looked at the little phoenix, which was meekly enjoying Xiao Man's service, a glint flashing in his eyes, "This little thing is truly shrewd. But it's so weak now, it's unlikely to be of much help as your contracted beast. Besides, it can't be taken out in this state. Someone outside might recognize it and try to steal it..."
Nangong Yu patted his head, "Look at me, this little thing voluntarily became your life-bound contracted beast. If you are killed, it will also die. It's truly a shrewd little thing, knowing how to tie its life to yours."
The little phoenix opened its eyes and glanced at Nangong Yu. Fool, what do you know? If I wasn't afraid of my father killing me and stewing me, I wouldn't have signed a life-bound contract voluntarily.
"A'man, why don't we just stew it? I feel it has no respect for me at all," Nangong Yu said with a low voice, his aura turning cold. A little turkey dared to roll its eyes at him repeatedly, truly not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth!
The little phoenix quickly moved closer to Xiao Man, hiding behind her, looking very pitiful.
"Yes, stew it. That would be great, I can have a bowl of soup," Elder Qin chimed in, his mouth watering. "Phoenix soup should be very nourishing!"
The little phoenix looked annoyed and spat a mouthful of fire at him. Elder Qin was fearless, as he was a spirit body. However, to everyone's surprise, the little phoenix's flames managed to burn his beard.
"It's burning, it's burning, it's burning!" Elder Qin anxiously patted his beard, but to no avail.
"Girl, save me, save me, I'm going to be burned to death."
Xiao Man looked at the little phoenix, "Extinguish the fire."
The little phoenix hesitated for a moment and then put out the fire. Elder Qin's white beard, which used to drag on the ground, was now half burnt, and he was sadly stroking it.
"It can actually injure a spirit body," Nangong Yu was quite surprised. "It seems this little fellow is truly formidable."
When the little phoenix heard Nangong Yu praise it, it immediately puffed up its chest proudly. It also didn't forget to pat Xiao Man with its small wings, signaling Xiao Man to praise it.
"You're amazing, alright?" Xiao Man stroked its head. This little thing was truly powerful, capable of injuring Elder Qin. Elder Qin was the spirit of the Tongtian Tower, and theoretically, within the tower, he should be invincible. Yet, the little phoenix could injure him. She had truly found a treasure.
"Your fortunes are truly enviable," Nangong Yu praised. "The Tongtian Tower itself belongs to you, and now with the help of such a divine beast, your future is limitless."
"What, if I have a limitless future, doesn't yours also have a bright one?" Xiao Man asked with a smile. "My little phoenix is still young. Who knows how long it will take for it to grow up."
"It won't take long. You've already successfully formed your core. Do you still intend to stay in the trial grounds?"
"The trial in the trial grounds lasts for half a month. We can only leave after half a month," Xiao Man said calmly. "Besides the trials, there are also good things within the trial grounds, otherwise, disciples from noble families and sects wouldn't come. Even if they wanted to select guards, there are plenty of excellent guards outside, why would they come to the Seven Sects to select them? Naturally, there's something in the trial grounds that attracts them. Moreover, Wen Ting is also here."
"Wen Ting..." Nangong Yu frowned. "The young sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect?"
"Yes, I only learned about the Four Great Sects from a senior sister a few days ago. Who would have thought I'd encounter this unpredictable and ruthless young sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect so soon."
"It is said that this person kills without a trace and is extremely dangerous. It's best not to approach him rashly."
"I'm afraid this person won't let me off easily." Xiao Man looked outside. "We've been inside the Tongtian Tower for nearly a month. Ten days inside is one day outside, which is equivalent to only three days passing outside. Let's go see what good things the trial grounds have."
"Alright," Nangong Yu said with a hint of helplessness and indulgence, "Let's go. It's time we went out for a walk."
As Xiao Man prepared to leave, the little phoenix immediately flew onto Xiao Man's shoulder, looking like a colorful little bird, with no discernible extraordinary features.
The two exited the Tongtian Tower space. Outside, it was unusually quiet. There were quite a few disciples who had entered the trial grounds this time, along with disciples from noble families and sects. It shouldn't be this quiet.
