“Mhm, eat more, eating meat makes you grow taller.”
Su Zixuan lovingly looked at his little sister, who was as beautiful as a delicate jade carving, and handed her another piece of rabbit meat.
“Brother, don’t come back for lunch tomorrow, just eat at the Academy.”
As she chewed, Su Qingluo’s mind raced, secretly making her own little calculations.
‘Why?”
Su Zixuan was taken aback, a bad feeling washing over him as his hand holding the rice bowl trembled and almost spilled the porridge.
“I want to go with Yin’er to the depths of the great mountain to play, so I won’t be able to come back at noon.”
Feeling embarrassed, Su Qingluo scratched the back of her head, her eyelids trembling, avoiding her brother’s gaze.
“Mother won’t allow it.’
The bad feeling became a reality, and Su Zixuan sighed like a little adult before putting down the bowl and earnestly advising her.
“Besides, there are many ferocious beasts in the deep parts of the great mountain. Neither Father nor Uncle Dashan dares to venture easily into the old forests. How can a little girl like you go there?”
“Brother, as long as Yin’er is there, we’ll be fine.”
Su Qingluo pointed at Little Kingfisher perched on the window ledge and argued, “You just saw it. Even Black Wind obeys Yin’er. Beasts in the mountains and forests are even more so, running far away when they see Yin’er, not daring to provoke her.”
“What kind of creature is your little kingfisher? Could it be some spirit from the wilderness?”
After all, Su Zixuan was just a nine-year-old child, and despite his mature demeanor, he sometimes had his moments of curiosity. He was quickly led off-track by Su Qingluo’s words.
You’re the spirit!
Stupid boy!
How dare you call this Divine Beast baby a spirit, I’ll let Black Wind kick you next time!
Little Kingfisher was unhappy, its dark round eyes stared contemptuously at Su Zixuan, protesting indignantly.
“Yin’er is not a spirit, she’s a phoenix!”
Su Qingluo knew that if she didn’t make things clear now, it would only lead to misunderstandings.
Fortunately, Su Zixuan was someone she could trust, so she didn’t keep secrets from him any longer and simply explained Little Kingfisher’s true identity.
Otherwise, if the little guy was misunderstood and unhappy, she wouldn’t be surprised if one day, he sneakily played some tricks on Su Zixuan.
It had to be said that she understood her precious pet, the little Fire Phoenix, too well, as their hearts and minds were connected.
“A phoenix?! ”
Upon hearing the word “phoenix,” Su Zixuan’s eyes widened in disbelief, and his mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a duck egg.
“The legendary Divine Beast Phoenix? The one with long tail feathers and can breathe fire?”
“Yes, yes.”
Su Qingluo nodded her head lightly, not missing the opportunity to justify her little pet’s name.
“Yin’er is a Fire Phoenix that can breathe fire, possessing a supreme divine beast bloodline. She’s still young right now, so she doesn’t have tail feathers. When she grows up, she’ll transform into a real phoenix.”
“Wow, that’s so amazing, a Divine Beast Phoenix!”
Su Zixuan was stunned, his bright, wide eyes looked through the window at the proud Little Kingfisher, shimmering with indescribable excitement.
At this moment, he discarded his usual calm demeanor of a little adult, reverting to a real nine-year-old boy, exuding the pure innocence unique to children.
“Sister, may I touch its feathers?”
He barely managed to stop himself from saying he wanted to stroke the phoenix’s feathers.
“Er…” Su Qingluo felt awkward.
She didn’t want to disappoint Su Zixuan, but without asking, she could already tell from Little Kingfisher’s contemptuous gaze at the moment that she knew the answer.
“Yin’er doesn’t like being touched by strangers.”
“Oh. ”
Feeling slightly let down, Su Zixuan’s big, bright eyes dimmed a bit before shining with a different light: “It’s okay. Just being able to see her is enough for me.”
“Brother, now that you know how amazing Yin’er is, you should agree to let me go with her to the deep parts of the great mountain to play.”
Seizing the opportunity, Su Qingluo acted cute and pouted her little cheeks, determined not to give up until her goal was achieved.
“Fine, I promise you.”
Having been conquered by the awe-inspiring title of Divine Beast Phoenix, Su Zixuan playfully blinked his eyes, joining forces with his sister.
“I’ll also keep it a secret and won’t tell Mother about you going to the deep parts of the great mountain to play..”
