Chapter 71 - I Hate Getting Carsick The Most (1)

It was obvious that Shen Jiawei had also failed!

Shen Yifeng had lost, while Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei had also suffered a crushing defeat. However, the sage had confirmed that he had managed to wake the Vermilion Bird.

There was no doubt that the Vermillion Bird would have chosen a candidate among the few of them as his master if he was awakened. That would mean…

Everyone looked at the second-to-last carriage, and they were aware of who was in it.

Could it be?!

…

Shen Yanxiao took her time as she was not anxious to get out of the carriage at all. It was not because she did not want her feet to feel the ground again, but rather, it was because…

“Ough!” The arrogant and proud Vermilion Bird had a deathly pale complexion as he hugged a wooden bucket and vomited.

Who would expect that the awe-inspiring mythical beast would get motion sickness?!

After they started their journey, the Vermilion Bird had begun to look pale as his palms began to sweat and then he started to vomit not long after that. What annoyed Shen Yanxiao was that the stinky little bird had refused to return to her body. After a magical beast signed a contract with its master, they could transform their physical body into mental energy to reside within their master. Since the motion of the carriage was too much for him, he could have obediently opted to stay in her.

However, it seemed that he was a stubborn little bird. He chose Shen Yanxiao because he had no other choice, but she did not have the strength to make him submit to her willingly. They wanted him to reside in a weak human like her? He was not willing to do that, not even if he was beaten to his death.

Since he had no other alternative option, the Vermilion Bird had vomited throughout the journey back to the Vermilion Bird Family’s compound.

How could he still have any traces of arrogance on his exquisite face then? His small face completely lacked color, and his scarlet eyes beamed with tears that made him look so miserable that one’s heart would ache for him if one were to look at him.

If one were to describe his current appearance in the modern world, they would call him…

Super adorable!

Of course, Shen Yanxiao would never treat the Vermilion Bird like an adorable animal that one would keep in captivity. She remembered the scene where the little bird nearly killed Shen Jiayi vividly. He did not even blink when he attacked her, and he only looked adorable because he was ill from the journey.

If it was possible, Shen Yanxiao wanted to look up and laugh wildly at him.

‘Serves you right!’

“Hey, are you done vomiting? We’ve reached, and we can get down now.” Shen Yanxiao propped her chin. She did not mind if the others had to wait longer for them, but she did not wish to stay in a carriage that was filled with vomit!

“You’re… noisy… If you want to get down… go yourself. Would it kill… you if I were to… sit here for a little while more….” The Vermilion Bird wanted to kick his new master out of the carriage roughly, but he was too sluggish even to move his fingers.

‘This damned carriage. I will never ride in one again! Next time, I will fly here myself!’

Shen Yanxiao’s mouth twitched. After she gave her orders to the respectful attendants that stood on one side, she took the lead and walked out of the carriage.

When she stretched out her head from the carriage, many pairs of eyes that revealed complicated emotions suddenly turned toward her.

Shen Yanxiao quirked her eyebrows.

Why did those people act as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight?

Shen Feng looked at the familiar and yet unfamiliar face in surprise. Even though Shen Yanxiao was not usually appreciated in the Vermilion Bird Family, it did not mean that he would not remember what his granddaughter looked like. She still looked dull and unattractive, but her usual blank expressions had some cleverness in them. Her rosy lips were slightly raised, and even though she would not be considered as pretty, others might find her cute.
