3044 Intimidation
“Your little ones?” the Sacred Imperial Spider repeated anxiously.
Little Phoenix raised its head and snorted.
It didn’t bother to answer that question.
The Sacred Imperial Spider said, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t know they were under your protection…”
“The girl’s so ugly,” the spider thought to itself.
Little Phoenix glowered. “Be nice to each other for the next few days! I need to sleep. Don’t wake me up!”
“Yes, of course…” The Sacred Imperial Spider lowered its head and saluted the terrifying creature that had once turned the Dayless Woods upside down.
Little Phoenix ran back to the storage space.
Feng Wu was perplexed.
So was Feng Xun.
They looked at each other in astonishment.
Feng Wu thought, “Since when was Little Phoenix so intimidating?”
Feng Xun thought, “What did I see just then?”
They both looked at the Sacred Imperial Spider in amazement.
“Phew…”
Little Phoenix sighed in relief once it was back in the storage space.
Feng Wu then communicated with the bird in her mind.
“I didn’t know you’re so amazing! Are you that much stronger than the spider? Can you defeat all the creatures in the Dayless Woods?”
“In your dreams!” Little Phoenix laughed. “What are you thinking?”
Feng Wu said, “What?”
Little Phoenix said, “Can’t you see what I’m like now?”
Feng Wu said, “Well…”
She knew the bird was about her level. As for the spider, it was somewhere between the Spiritual Overlord and Spiritual Saint stages.
Elder Helian was a Spiritual Overlord, and Jun Linyuan was a Spiritual Saint. That was to say, the spider’s capability was between the two of them.
Little Phoenix sighed.
Feng Wu said, “That’s to say… You were…”
Little Phoenix said, “I thought you would never get it. I was bluffing, but that spider is so powerful. It’s no longer that stupid little creature anymore. Sooner or later, it’ll realize what I’ve done.
“I used too much spiritual essence to scare it, and it’ll take me a while to recover. You’re on your own now.”
Feng Wu said, “So, you were bluffing…”
Little Phoenix said, “Of course I was! Creatures like that will back off when you show muscle.
“If I hadn’t done that, that spider would have eaten you! Understood?
“And there’s more —”
Little Phoenix sighed. “You were a little too generous.”
Feng Wu looked perplexed.
Little Phoenix said, “Essence crystals are great stuff, and you can’t find them anywhere else. Can you keep some essence crystals for yourself? If you don’t want them, you can give them to the cub and me.”
Feng Wu was about to reply, when she heard a noise.
Little Phoenix said, “Go. You need to fool the spider now.”
Little Phoenix then went back to its cultivation.
It needed to replenish its spiritual essence. Maybe it would need to do this trick again.
