“Fire Phoenix, let her see your true form!” Nangong Qing whispered. The Fire Phoenix spread its wings, fluttered, and its body quickly grew into a phoenix more than one meter tall. Its fiery red color was dazzling. Ruan Fengxia took a closer look. It looked like a phoenix, but also somewhat unlike it. Could it really be the sacred beast Vermillion Bird?
"Master, have you told her your identity?" Huo Feng asked. Nangong Qing nodded. "She is worthy of my trust. I don't want to hide it from her!"
"Well, let's make her one of us in the future!" Huo Feng said. Ruan Fengxia stared at Huo Feng with wide eyes, shocked. "It actually spoke human language. Is it really the sacred beast Suzaku?"
"I am the descendant of the divine beast Vermillion Bird!" Huo Feng explained. The master's friends can be respected, and this girl is good to the master, so it doesn't hate her.
Nangong Qing placed her own summoning book in Ruan Fengxia's hand and said, "Look at this summoning book. There are four great beasts on it. This is a summoning book for the beast summoner!"
Ruan Fengxia touched the four divine beasts above. It turned out that the four ancient divine beasts in the legend looked like this. Just by looking at the paintings, one could feel that their temperament was different from other beasts. That kind of domineering aura was not something that ordinary beasts could have.
"After Suzaku, can I touch you?"
Ruan Fengxia asked cautiously. She really didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment. She actually saw the mythical beast Vermillion Bird. This was too... too exciting!
The Fire Phoenix glanced at its master, and after getting permission from its master, it raised its head proudly. Ruan Fengxia reached out and stroked the Fire Phoenix's feathers with a smile on her face.
"So this is the queen of the sacred beast Suzaku!"
"Don't tell anyone my identity for now. I don't have enough ability to protect myself yet. I'm going to a place to practice tomorrow. Don't tell anyone where I'm going, including my sworn brother Ye Zifeng and his family!" Nangong Qing instructed. She didn't want them to worry about her safety.
"Wherever you want to practice, I'll accompany you!" Ruan Fengxia said hurriedly. Nangong Qing smiled and refused, "Your strength is already very good. I need the ability to protect myself. When I come out, you and I will go on missions to make money!"
Ruan Fengxia looked at Nangong Qing, wondering where she was going to practice and why she had to keep it secret to such an extent. However, since she didn't want to know, she wouldn't go.
"Go to bed if you're sleepy. I can't sleep tonight!" Ruan Fengxia yawned. It was almost the first watch of the night and she was really sleepy. "Okay, I'll go to bed. You should go to bed early too. Call me if you need anything!"
"Go ahead!"
Nangong Qing closed the window, sat on the bed, flipped through the Book of Summoning, looked at the skills inside, and entered a state of practice!
"Bang..." There was a noise and Nangong Qing opened her eyes alertly. The Fire Kirin broke in through the window, carrying a man on its back. The man was lying on the Kirin's back with blood all over his arms. The Fire Kirin's thigh was also injured. He knelt on the ground, looking at Nangong Qing with pleading eyes.
Nangong Qing hurried over and pushed the man on his back to the ground. His originally charming and handsome face now lay there pale, with the wound on his arm so deep that the bone was visible. The white bones made Nangong Qing frown. How on earth did he get himself like this?
"Fire Qilin, what happened to your master?"
Huo Qilin looked at Nangong Qing and said, "Please save the master, he is seriously injured!"
"Tell me, who hurt him?"
Looking at the wound on his arm, he is so strong, how powerful must his enemy be to hurt him like this!
