The others realized it as well, especially Dugu Yamo, who had been the first to ask the question.
She smacked her own head. “Gosh! I’m so stupid! Why did I ask such a silly question?!”
The others figured it out as well, and they all started questioning their own intelligence.
“Ahem —”
Seeing that they all looked bewildered, Feng Wu cleared her throat and prompted them. “What are you waiting for? Do you have a lot of time on your hands?”
That was right!
They all seemed to wake up!
Time was of the essence here, and they couldn’t afford to waste a minute!
“Quickly!” Feng Xun waved his hand. “Everyone! Get to work!”
Luckily, Feng Wu had brought the boat down, so they didn’t have to worry about carrying the bags.
Feng Wu smacked her head. Picking up the seafood would be quick, but the sea dragon only wanted the flesh, not the shells.
Hence, with a wave of her hand, Little Phoenix flew out of the ring space.
Apart from Little Phoenix, there was also Feng Tutu, the adorable tiger cub.
Feng Wu gave them instructions. “Remove the shells.”
Before Feng Tutu could say anything, Little Phoenix protested first. It glared at Feng Wu. “Why should we do it?!”
Now that it had retrieved part of its memory, it remembered its previous life as Master Phoenix. Why should it do hard labor? It was humiliating!
Feng Tutu understood what was going on. It didn’t mind doing hard labor. As soon as it heard Feng Wu’s order, it ran happily to her side and sat down.
With its paws, it picked up a shellfish and crushed the shell, leaving only the flesh behind.
It glanced at Feng Wu and asked with its big, bright eyes: Was it doing the right thing?
The cub was so adorable that Feng Wu felt her heart melt when it looked at her.
“Yes.” Feng Wu rubbed the cub’s fluffy head. “That’s right. Tutu, you’re the best.”
“Awww —” The cub flushed at the compliment, and its shiny eyes could melt one’s heart.
Little Phoenix snorted and stomped its foot. It then raised its chin proudly.
It was mad!
That cub!
Feng Wu rubbed Little Phoenix’s head as well, which destroyed its arrogant image.
She then smacked the bird’s head. “Get to work! Everything else can wait.”
She walked away after that.
Little Phoenix was speechless.
She wouldn’t even comfort it! Hmph!
Seeing the current situation, Little Phoenix knew very well that their most important task was to remove the shells.
Luckily, with its sharp claws, Little Phoenix could remove the shell in one move.
The two spiritual pets worked together, one crushing and one prying. The shells were quickly removed.
Dugu Yamo, who was also busy with her work, suddenly smacked her own head. “Gosh!”
The others all looked at her. That sudden outburst was quite scary!
