Chapter 409: The Phoenix’s Request (3)
If one would have such a powerful mythical beast, why would one want a youngling? Even if the Phoenix would advance to a mythical-level beast when it reached its adulthood, it was a long wait for a human. During its growth, the little Phoenix would only be an advanced-level magical beast.
A human can only be contracted to one magical beast in their entire life, and therefore, the human before them had no reason to snatch their child.
Furthermore, that overwhelmingly powerful mysterious man seemed to have a close relation to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith the two great assistance by her side, she would not need a young Phoenix.
Once they had thought things through, the Phoenixes were not as hostile as they had been toward Shen Yanxiao and the Vermilion Bird.
Magical beasts were mostly innocent and naive creatures. There was only right and evil in their world.
“Well, the goal of my trip was not your child. I only wanted the Flame Grass that grew around your nest.” Shen Yanxiao did not think there was a need to conceal the truth from the Phoenixes. Even though she was not a good person, she had no prejudices toward any magical beasts.
“Flame Grass? There are loads of them in our nest, but the cave has collapsed now. I reckon that we would need to clear the rubbles before we can find any.” The female Phoenix blinked kindly. They were magical beasts, and so they had no use for the Flame Grass. If the grasses did not have any fire element, they would not even use it to build their nest.
It was an olive branch if one could see it.
When they had resolved their misunderstanding, the Phoenixes did not make things difficult for Shen Yanxiao and the Vermilion Bird. They even helped them to find a few stalks of Flame Grass from the rubbles.
After Shen Yanxiao obtained the Flame Grass, her mood immediately lifted.
However, at that very moment, there was still a problem.
That was…

The Phoenix-man coughed and looked awkwardly at Shen Yanxiao. He had no idea what to do in that situation. It was evident that the little Phoenix felt more comfortable with the Vermillion Bird than its own birth parents.
The Phoenix-woman looked at her child with teary eyes. She reached out as if she wanted to bring the little Phoenix to her side, but it immediately used its claws and wings to hug the Vermilion Bird’s hair tightly. It looked like the little Phoenix did not want to let go of the Vermillion Bird.
“…” The Vermilion Bird was speechless. Could the pair of parents quickly retrieve their unruly child?! Why would it want to stay on its head?
The man sighed and stopped his partner before he looked at Shen Yanxiao and said, “It seems like our child had taken a liking to this little brother. Humans have been continuously disrupting us recently and now, our nest has collapsed. I’m afraid that we would have to relocate to another safe place to reconstruct our nest. Those humans would likely return here to try and steal our offspring. I have a presumptuous request that would require your help.”
“Please speak your mind.” The Phoenixes had helped her to get the Flame Grass, and she did not like to take things for free. Besides, she decided that they were rather pleasing to the eye.
The Phoenix-man glanced at the little Phoenix on the Vermilion Bird’s head and slowly said, “Before we could find a new home, I would like to request for you to care for our youngling. We would come and fetch it once we have found a safe place for our nest.”
