Chapter 415 - Return (3)

“A little kid like you dared to run around so casually; do you know how dangerous it was then? Good thing you’re unharmed!” Evil Wolf said with a worried and concerned tone.

Those iron-blooded mercenaries were rather simple with their feelings. Their brothers and partners were their life.

“Well, I came back in one piece, didn’t I?” Shen Yanxiao blinked.

Du Lang had a comforting smile on his face as he looked at Shen Yanxiao. At the same time, he noticed the little guy by his side.

That youth looked very young, but he seemed quite aloof.

“Chu?” A fluff of red fur suddenly appeared on the top of the Vermilion Bird’s head. It widened its black and round large eyes as it looked at the new group of humans in curiosity.

“Where did you pick up that little fellow?” Evil Wolf had only just noticed the Vermilion Bird’s presence.

Shen Yanxiao touched her nose as she thought of a random excuse to fool them. They did not care about that, and so, they would not continue with more questions.

The most important thing was that she had returned safe and sound to them; other things did not matter.

When she sat in the carriage, Shen Yanxiao could finally relax. It was a rather fruitful trip. She did not only manage to get some Flame Grass, but she had also managed to pick up a little Phoenix with her. Besides that, she also received a Flame robe and the friendship of a pair of Phoenixes.

The Vermilion Bird sat beside Shen Yanxiao with a rather grim expression on his face.

The carriage…

It was a carriage again!

The Vermillion had experienced motion sickness so severe that he wished he could jump out of the carriage to fly back on his own. However, one stare from Shen Yanxiao, and it was as if he had been frozen to his seat.

He wanted to cry; no one even bullied him like that!

The little Phoenix rolled back and forth happily on the Vermilion Bird’s head as it released soft and tender chirps.

Du Lang and Evil Wolf, who sat opposite, stared at them with curiosity.

However, they were smart enough not to ask her anything.

The moment the carriage started to move, the Vermilion Bird’s complexion immediately turned green.

“Erm, are you alright, little friend?” Evil Wolf asked kindly as he stared at the Vermilion Bird’s unsightly expression.

The Vermilion Bird shot him a glare.

Evil Wolf gulped and muttered in silence, ‘That little kid has a bad temper’!

Compared to the Vermilion Bird’s arrogance, Evil Wolf felt that Huo Xiao was much more likable and adorable.

Both of them were kids, so why was there such a huge disparity?

No one knew that the Vermilion Bird’s mood had fallen to the pits.

He had feared sitting in carriages the most!

As they traveled along the bumpy road, the Vermilion Bird’s complexion changed from green to white, and then from white to purple.

Ultimately, it turned black.

After that…

“Ough!!”

“Sh*t! Little kid, don’t just puke everywhere!!”

On the first night of their journey back to the Black City, Evil Wolf and Du Lang had to leave their original carriage because of some unspeakable reasons. They had to squeeze into the other carriages.

One could also hear the sounds of someone puking in the carriage throughout their journey home.

The forest on Mount Kuluo finally recovered its peace from the sea of fire attacks.

The pair of Phoenixes stood before their collapsed nest and rested there for the time being.

At that moment, Mount Kuluo welcomed another guest.

A slender figure stepped into the mountain forest, and the moment he appeared, the barely-recovered demons and magical beasts immediately evacuated a hundred-meter radius from him.

That man ascended to the peak of Mount Kuluo slowly, and there he met with the pair of Phoenixes.

A pair of eyes as gentle as jade stared at the cave that had collapsed as his thin lips slowly parted.

“What catastrophes have you two encountered now?”
