The Vermilion Bird narrowed his eyes and looked at the ugly human before him. High-leveled magical beasts possessed the ability to transform into a human form, and regardless of the species, their human form would be stunning. Even those from Vermilion Bird Family members that people regarded as handsome and beautiful were only average in the eyes of a magical beast.
Amongst the humans, the little girl in front of him was considered average, at best.
However, Shen Yanxiao would be deemed ugly in the eyes of the magical beasts.
“You’re ugly.” The Vermilion Bird evaluated Shen Yanxiao honestly.
Even though the mythical beasts would have lived for a very long time, they did not know how to mince their words, especially with their arrogant personalities.
Shen Yanxiao’s lips twitched as she glared at the stinky bird.
She did not go there for a beauty contest! For it to actually say that she was ugly?! He had better not land in her hands, or else she would absolutely pluck all of his feathers!
The Vermilion Bird ignored her furious expression and continued to size her up. He even went closer and sniffed Shen Yanxiao.
‘Was he a dog?!’
Shen Yanxiao was speechless as the clearly-a-bird fellow continued to sniff around her. If she could reveal her strength, she would have probably sent that stinky bird somewhere far away with a kick.
From Xiu’s tone, he clearly did not find the Vermilion Bird a threat. Since she already had Xiu’s invincible support, she thought that the so-called Vermilion Bird simply sucked!
The Vermilion Bird repeated his actions, and after a while, he finally stopped his unimaginable ‘observation’ actions.
His body was that of a three or four-year-old child, and he was only as tall as Shen Yanxiao’s abdomen. Since he was a mythical beast, he could not stand it if a human were to look down upon him. So, he floated upward until his eyes were at the same level as Shen Yanxiao’s.
“There’s a weird smell on you, and it seems like I have smelled it somewhere before.” The Vermilion Bird was somewhat vexed. The scent was very faint, and if he had not leaned so close to her, he would never have smelled it. That scent existed in his memory, but he could not recall its origin at that time.
‘Was he really a dog?!’ Shen Yanxiao looked at the Vermilion Bird in silence. Even though she tried to maintain the image of an idiot with great effort, it did not mean she would act like an idiot who did not wash for several days. Why would there be any scent on her!?
“The Vermilion Bird seems to have noticed my existence, but it has been a thousand years since we last met. Thus, he mistook it as a scent.” Xiu’s voice suddenly echoed in Shen Yanxiao’s mind.
A thousand years ago…
Shen Yanxiao continued to gaze blankly ahead. What exactly was Xiu’s origin?
“You are of the family’s bloodline, and even though you’re ugly, you will become a woman in the future. However, on the account that you don’t speak much nonsense, I’ll reluctantly sign a contract with you!” The Vermilion Bird’s words and tone of voice were meant as a jab to the other people there.
Shen Yanxiao gritted her teeth in anger. ‘Stinky little bird, you’re toast!’
The Vermilion Bird’s words were sharp, and it was like thunderbolts that struck during clear skies as they entered Shen Yifeng and the other’s ears.
‘What a joke! That person is an idiot!’
What was wrong with the Vermilion Bird? Why did it reject the best of the Vermilion Bird Family’s third-generation disciples and chose that idiot instead? What happened? Did the Vermilion sleep for too long and then turned stupid?
Anyone else would have been great a great choice, so why did he have to choose an idiot that could not even train in magic or battle aura?!
