1697: Face-slapping, Round 5 (7)

Face-slapping, Round 5 (7)

Feng Wu nodded with a smile.2

Little Phoenix was so excited that it almost jumped up. "But how? Weren't they busy chasing you? Why are they fighting each other now? Hey, little Feng Wu, you did it, right?"

Feng Wu raised her chin. "Who else?"

Little Phoenix was enlightened. "I see! I see! You've been planning this ever since you jumped off the horse, haven't you?!"

Feng Wu gave no reply.

Little Phoenix was speechless.

"My master indeed chose the right person!" Little Phoenix was amazed.

It was all thanks to Feng Wu's plan. Otherwise, they would all have been killed.

Feng Wu looked perplexed. "Your master's chosen person?"

She found that an odd expression.

"Ahem —" Little Phoenix wasn't going to tell Feng Wu the truth yet.

It crossed its wings and gave Feng Wu a proud look. "Kiddo, you shouldn't be proud just because you won this round."

"Kiddo"?

Feng Wu rubbed its head, ruffling its feathers.

"Hey —" Frustrated, Little Phoenix stared at Feng Wu as it dodged her hand. "Behave like a young lady, will you? This is very inappropriate!"

Feng Wu chuckled when she saw the look on Little Phoenix's face.

The horse remained silent the whole time. It watched enviously as Feng Wu and Little Phoenix bantered with each other.

It used to have a master, but she had always been aloof, serious, and authoritative. To her, it was always a subordinate and never a companion.

The envious look in the horse's eyes became more and more obvious.

"Jealous?" Little Phoenix stuck out its chest proudly when it saw the look in the horse's eyes.

The horse was equally proud, so it rolled its eyes at the bird. "Hmph!"

It then hid all its emotions.

Jealous? Not at all! What was there to be envious about? Hmph!

Little Phoenix looked at the horse in resignation. It was so obvious that the horse felt very envious, but it just wouldn't admit it.

The bird snorted. "Really? Don't deny it. You're obviously being shy about it."

"No, I'm not!" The horse flicked its tail and decided to ignore the talkative bird.

"Oh, you so are! Look, you're blushing! Teehee, it's actually really easy. Just have her as your master." The bird wrapped its wings around the horse's neck, behaving like its best buddy.

The horse snorted and ignored the bird.

Little Phoenix said, "Hey, don't ignore me! I'm showing you mercy by sharing my status with you. How can you sneer at me? You dishonest, lousy horse!"

Little Phoenix's childishness seemed to have infected the horse, and it blurted out, "You're a lousy bird!"

Little Phoenix said, "Lousy horse!"

The horse said, "Lousy bird!"

Little Phoenix said, "Lousy horse!"

-

Their squabble gave Feng Wu a headache, and she had to silence both of them. "That's enough, both of you! You're spiritual beasts, for heaven's sake! Can't you hear how childish you sound?!"

Little Phoenix crossed its wings. "Hmph!"
