"Goo! Goo!"
Maple Leaf struggled free from Lin Xiao's clutches. A hint of extremely human-like disdain and speechlessness flashed in her ruby eyes. She stomped hard on Lin Xiao's head before flying away.
Lin Xiao: "..."
He inexplicably felt the exhaustion of being a father.
Back when Maple Leaf was first born, how close was she to him? She would do whatever he asked! She even stuck to him in his sleep! But now, Maple Leaf had the feeling of a rebellious daughter entering her rebellious phase, full of the meaning of a traitor. In her half a catty of weight, there were eight taels of rebellious bones! Lin Xiao shook his head slightly.
"This rebellious daughter, the evolution of my Crimson Sky Flame Phoenix Wings earlier, can't be unrelated to you, right? I saw you sprinkle a few drops of blood on it at that time, and after I absorbed it, I found that the Crimson Sky Flame Phoenix Wings were excessively beyond the standard."
Could Maple Leaf be the legendary Phoenix?
Bullshit!
In Douluo Continent 1, there had never been a Soul Beast related to the Phoenix! Besides, with Little Red Bird's small body, what could she use to take advantage of the Divine Beast Phoenix? "If someone says Maple Leaf is a Phoenix."
"Then I'll say she's a red-haired, crimson-eyed, flat-chested, weak loli!"
Lin Xiao's words were full of disdain.
In the distance, a burst of angry flames shot towards Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao barely dodged.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been discovered for mocking her in person.
So he gave Maple Leaf an awkward smile.
"It's okay, even if you're not a Phoenix, you might be a close relative of the Phoenix."
Maple Leaf rolled her eyes.
For some reason, she suddenly had the urge to slap Lin Xiao in the face.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a Phoenix for being poor! Sooner or later, she would blind Lin Xiao's dog eyes!
...
Blue Silver Emperor... or rather, it should now be accurately called Phoenix Blood Blue Silver Emperor.
A Yin had transformed.
This was a leap in the level of life.
It was a height that she could hardly reach even if she tried her best all her life, but it was completed in an instant, and all of this was thanks to the Little Red Bird on Lin Xiao's shoulder.
"It's actually... that Lord?"
Just as A Yin was transforming into the Phoenix Blood Blue Silver Grass, many scenes flashed in her spiritual space, including the Ancient Phoenix God and the Dragon God fighting, the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, and the common people bleeding.
And a bloodline suppression from the depths of her soul.
Also made A Yin's heart, produce a sense of awe from the inside out.
Phoenix!
How could A Yin not know the identity of that Little Red Bird? Even if she didn't know, she should have understood everything after the many scenes flashed in her mind.
This seemingly ordinary Little Red Bird, who followed the red-haired teenager who spoke very annoyingly, was actually the Ancient Phoenix God, an existence on par with the Dragon God.
The two were co-owners of the Soul Beasts.
As for more secrets, A Yin had no way of knowing.
But all of this was not important.
A Yin only needed to take care of the present: the Phoenix God gave her her own blood essence, of course, it was not a free sponsorship. In fact, the relationship between the two was already a master-servant relationship, and A Yin could not disobey the Phoenix God. This was not only related to the righteousness of the Soul Beast clan, but also related to bloodline suppression and the concluded contract.
She was just a Blue Silver Emperor, and the Phoenix Blood on her body came from Maple Leaf, and what Maple Leaf could give could be taken back. The process of giving was already so painful, and taking it back would probably be burned to ashes.
A Yin danced her body, releasing a gentle mental power, expressing surrender; at the same time, she also had the infinite respect and affection of a Soul Beast junior for the co-owner of the Soul Beasts.
Maple Leaf was very indifferent to this.
If it wasn't because she was really down and out, she would have been full and supported, and would have given her own blood essence to a mere Blue Silver Grass. However, fortunately, this Blue Silver Emperor was the emperor among the grasses, and her talent and ability were really good, so she still had some value.
As a lone commander, it was better to have more soldiers.
She was at least an intelligence operative! However, the Dragon God's remnant body hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest was probably doing much better than her. Those Soul Beasts were subdued by her preemptively, making Maple Leaf feel very tricky (tricky: thorny/troublesome).
Wuwu, she also wanted the Lake of Life!
Just as she was pondering, Maple Leaf suddenly felt herself being held in someone's arms. She saw Lin Xiao stroking her scarlet feathers, which were without a single stray color, while muttering unhappily:
"I know you're clever. Thinking carefully, the Weaving Fire Red Luan from back then, and the sublimation of that Soul Bone's quality, must have something to do with you."
"But why is a Blue Silver Grass worthy of your painstaking efforts?"
"Every time I see you consuming your own essence blood, my heart feels blocked..."
Maple Leaf: "..."
Could he not suddenly get sentimental?
She couldn't handle it! The Little Red Bird felt the warmth in Lin Xiao's arms, and the look in her beautiful eyes, which had been full of contemplation, softened. She was just about to burrow into Lin Xiao's arms when she suddenly heard Lin Xiao's next words.
"If you kick the bucket, don't blame your dad for doting on other birds."
"I'll at most make sure not to use you for soup."
Maple Leaf flew into a rage.
She flapped her wings and flew away from Lin Xiao's arms! Lin Xiao laughed heartily, "Don't be angry, don't be angry!"
"Just kidding!"
...
Back at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Lin Xiao took over the training affairs of the Burning Maple Battle Team, and he didn't make too many changes to the Team's training, only making two adjustments.
First, increase the amount of training!
Second, provide free Medicinal Cuisine and medicinal baths!
Lin Xiao didn't painstakingly design messy training plans. He directly absorbed the experience of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's past training and made some modifications based on the specific situation of the Team.
All that was left to do was to invest time and energy into it.
As for the medicinal baths and Medicinal Cuisine, they could quickly restore the body's weakness after high-intensity training and promote physical improvement.
After about a month of training.
They could start practical drills.
The days passed simply and fulfilling.
Until a piece of news came.
"Another academy is merging into our Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Is there such a thing? How rare!"
"I heard that Director Qin Ming is the matchmaker. That academy is said to be small, but very strong?"
"Heh, Teacher Qin Ming has a good plan. According to rumors, that academy is Teacher Qin Ming's alma mater, and Yu Tianheng transferred to that school!"
"Ah? There's such a thing..."
With the help of interested people (those in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who hated Yu Tianheng), this matter set off a storm of public opinion.
Lin Xiao was inevitably at the center of the storm.
After all, the matter between Dugu Bo and Yu Tianheng was widely known, and Lin Xiao and Dugu Yan both had close relationships with Dugu Bo.
Rumor had it that Yu Tianheng would definitely come back to get even this time.
Lin Xiao didn't respond to this.
He just sighed softly, not having time to pay attention to Yu Tianheng. With a calm look, he returned to a rainy night six years ago and fell into deep thought.
"Lin Xiao, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Lingling walked over curiously.
Lin Xiao raised his face and smiled.
"It's nothing, I'm just about to see an old friend."
"I wonder how their demeanor is?"
