The woman was tall and slender. Although she wore a veil, one could tell from the glimpses of her eyes and brows that she was a beauty, and quite young at that. However, her furrowed brows and upturned, slender eyebrows gave her an aloof and unapproachable air.
Moreover, although the clothes they wore were the same style, the materials and workmanship details revealed that they were definitely custom-made.
"I saw it emerge from the crater with my own eyes, so it can't be wrong."
Upon hearing this, the girl quickly nodded in confirmation and said cautiously in a soft voice, "Xiaoyu, the first person it saw was me, so it must have recognized me as its owner. I'm sorry, it was probably just too scared and didn't mean to hurt you."
The girl was not wearing a veil, was around eighteen years old, and dressed in ordinary clothes, but she had willow-leaf eyebrows and an oval face, and her smile was gentle and pure. She was an undeniably exquisite beauty.
"Qin'er, I think this bird is really ugly. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Upon hearing this, the handsome young man and the veiled woman traveling with him exchanged a glance and said with the same disdain, "Why don't we just forget about this one? There are many high-level and beautiful magical beasts in 'Zhuoguang Mountain,' I'll find you another one."
"Then...what about it?"
Upon hearing this, the girl glanced at the trembling baby bird in her arms and hesitated.
"Well, now that we've found it, we should take it back. We'll ask our master about it later."
A glint of light flashed in the handsome young man's eyes as he stepped forward and took the girl's hand, saying, "Your master knows we accompanied you out to find a contracted magical beast. If she sees that it's such a weak and ugly beast when we get back, she'll definitely blame us, Yu'er, don't you think?"
"That's right. Besides, with your current wealth, you simply can't afford to raise two magical beasts at the same time. You should give it up."
The veiled woman's eyes flickered slightly, then her expression softened, and she said earnestly, "If you can't bear to part with it, I'll reluctantly keep it by my side. We're good sisters, and you can look at it anytime you miss it."
"Clang clang~"
As the girl with the oval face hesitated while listening to their conversation, she saw the baby bird in her arms suddenly chirp and rub its head against her chest.
That was actually him trying to please her.
"Xiaoyu, Jing, I think it's great, it's very intelligent, I don't want to change it."
Seeing this, the girl's heart immediately melted. She stretched out a little finger and gently touched the baby bird's head, saying, "It may be ugly now, but it might not be when it grows up. Besides, newborn birds are easier to tame, so I can save time."
"Um?"
Looking at the girl's sweet profile, the veiled woman's eyes darkened, and she reached out to touch the handsome young man beside her.
"kindness."
Seeing this, the handsome young man gave the veiled woman a reassuring look, then stepped forward and placed his hands on the girl's shoulders, saying, "Qin'er, you usually listen to me, why are you being stubborn this time?"
"I'm not being stubborn, I just genuinely think it's pretty good."
The girl blushed slightly at the handsome young man's advances and said softly with her head down, "Besides, Xiaoyu is the most talented girl in our sect. It's already rare that she's willing to come with me to find magical beasts. Her time is precious, and we can't trouble her any further. Besides, your bloodline has just awakened, so aren't you very busy?"
"Qin'er, what are you saying? I'm your fiancé. Isn't it only natural for me to be good to you and think about you?"
