Perhaps it was fate, but An Ning's birthday was the same day Jun Lin brought her back.

On this day, she was reborn twice.

Two days later.

It's An Ning's birthday, and the family of seven sits together.

In front of them was a birthday cake made by Er Rou, Lan Xi'er, Yun Ruoxi, and the little fox, using a blend of over a thousand ingredients.

Regardless of the taste, since we haven't tried it yet.

But it really looks beautiful; the colors are vibrant yet not cluttered, and it even has patterns that symbolize them.

It's clear that they really put their heart into it.

Wow, thank you, sisters!

An Ning looked at the cake in front of her. Although it was the third time she had seen such a gorgeous cake, she was still amazed.

Errou smiled and said, "If you like it, you can eat more later."

"Uh-huh!"

An Ning nodded repeatedly. The cake looked gorgeous and actually tasted great, based on her experience from her previous two birthdays.

Yun Ruoxi took out a colorful necklace. "Hehe, happy birthday An Ning, this is a gift for you."

Seeing this, Lan Xier and the little fox also took out the gifts they had prepared: a legendary quality phantom beast egg and a tenth-tier quality ring.

The two women, Er Yan and Er Rou, gave An Ning a jade pendant made from their own companion spirit jade, showing that they truly considered An Ning as family.

"Thank you, sisters!"

An Ning was deeply moved. Every time, she couldn't help but want to cry. Every time, she felt like she was dreaming.

Seeing this, Junlin couldn't help but smile, "Don't just thank them, what about me?"

An Ning wiped away her tears and turned her face away. "You haven't given me a present yet."

"Give it to me now."

Jun Lin said with a smile, and then released the Vermilion Bird. "This is the Vermilion Bird, one of the guardian beasts of the Mythical Beast Continent. From now on, she will be your mythical beast."

An Ning's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this. A guardian beast? That's a mythical beast that exists only in mythology!

"Brother, you're kidding, right?"

"What do you mean? Don't I look like a guardian beast?" Suzaku was very unhappy; after all, she was a divine beast.

If this room weren't so small, she would have shown these people what the aura of a mythical beast really was!

An Ning waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I'm just... too surprised."

Mythical beasts!

King's Landing just gave it to her like that?

Junlin patted Zhuque's head, "How dare you speak to your master like that?"

Zhuque shrank its neck. Fine, the demeanor of a divine beast isn't really important.

"Don't worry, it's a genuine mythical beast. Aren't you going to become the strongest mythical beast trainer? How can you do it without a mythical beast?"

"Thank you, brother! I promise I won't let you down!" An Ning happily hugged Jun Lin.

Junlin patted An Ning's head and said with a smile, "Alright, you've received the gift. Now it's time to make a wish."

"OK."

An Ning smiled, looked at the huge cake in front of her, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish in her heart.

"I hope to be with my older brothers and sisters forever, and then... become the strongest Pokémon Trainer!"
