The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Xiao Bai waved his hand. His eyes were clear, without a trace of greed for whatever was inside the syringe.

"Let's go back. You're still a kid. Once you've taken your revenge, you go back to looking like a proper child. If your godfather ever gives you this kind of stuff again, just tell Dad. Dad will help you give him a proper beating."

Yan Wei really had some nerve, actually daring to hand these dangerous things to Xiao Bai. What if Xiao Bai messed up one move and ended up hurting himself?

"Godfather is really wronged this time. Just trust him once, okay? He didn't even want to give it to me; I kept begging him for it, and only then did he hand it over."

Speaking of which, Yan Wei was pretty aggrieved too. Xiao Bai had pestered him for days, tried every sweet line he could think of. To get Yan Wei to help, he even threw away his pride, putting on cute acts and flirting and whatnot. Yan Wei just couldn't handle Xiao Bai staring at him with those big watery eyes, so he surrendered and gave Xiao Bai the thing he'd worked so hard to develop.

Back when he handed it over, he'd even warned Xiao Bai specifically not to let Tang Rao find out, or else Tang Rao would flay him alive. Xiao Bai had sworn up and down he'd keep it a secret, but in the end, the truth still slipped out of his mouth.

"Dad, don't go looking for Godfather, or I'll be done for. And I won't get any good stuff in the future either."

The Phoenix was on its last legs, and even before it died it still had to be mentally abused by this father-and-son duo. Truly pathetic.

Could they at least look at it? It was a Phoenix after all, a Phoenix of noble status. Not only was it dying in a totally undignified way, nobody even put it in their eyes. That was what really made it feel miserable.

Tang Rao didn't answer Xiao Bai right away. Instead, the Phoenix was the first to let out a shrill cry.

"You damned thing, you still dare scream? Watch how I deal with you properly."

Xiao Bai swung at the Phoenix, each punch not too heavy, but landing in just the right spots.

The bacteria had already been in the Phoenix's body for a while. Xiao Bai's fist came down straight on its damaged organs, and another punch landed directly on its Dantian.

The Golden Core it had refined for so many years shattered. The golden light on the Phoenix's body completely faded. Right now it looked no different from a bald Mountain Chicken.

"You burned down my arms factory, wanted to pen me up and use me as a walking ingredient. I'll beat you to death. If I don't beat you to death, I refuse to accept this!"

Xiao Bai kept punching. After several blows, the Phoenix was already a complete cripple.

"Oh ho, now this is truly my son—Tang Rao's son. He pays back every slight. That's exactly how it should be. Never suffer even the tiniest loss, got it?"

If people don't bully you, you don't go picking fights for no reason. But if they do bully you, you must bite back immediately. Don't wait, don't endure.

If you let them bully you once, they'll definitely bully you a second time. That's how the human world works. Only by becoming strong yourself will people start to look at you differently.

"I wonder who it was who just told me not to stain my hands with blood, and now he's telling me to take revenge. You're a two-faced guy too, you know."

Two-faced? Tang Rao really didn't feel he was two-faced at all.

"You flatter me. I wouldn't dare call myself two-faced. Your dad just wants to teach you how to be a good person."

A good person?

Xiao Bai added a question mark behind the words "good person." What was a good person, what was a bad person? He'd had some sense of it before, but after Tang Rao scrambled his "lesson," that little bit of clarity was gone.

"What do we do with this big thing?"

Tang Rao was genuinely vexed. Big Phoenix meat couldn't be eaten, and this huge body had turned into nothing but scrap. Anyone would find that hard to accept.

"Just toss it here. It's not dead yet. However it burned your arms factory before, that's exactly how you're going to burn down its old nest. Won't that make you feel better inside?"

The guy who'd just urged Xiao Bai to be kind was now telling him to do things that were laughably vicious.

"Right! It dared burn my arms factory? Way over the line. I'm going to burn your lair too, and I'm going to burn all your Phoenix Eggs along with it."

A lighter appeared in Xiao Bai's hand. Needless to say, that lighter had to be from Yan Wei.

But what Tang Rao focused on wasn't the lighter—it was that line: "and I'm going to burn all your Phoenix Eggs along with it."

Phoenix Eggs?

If Xiao Bai hadn't mentioned it, Tang Rao honestly wouldn't have known there were Phoenix Eggs in the Phoenix's nest.

"Where are the Phoenix Eggs? Why burn them? It's not like you have any playmates anyway. How about you form a contract with a Phoenix Egg and make it your contracted Divine Beast?"

Demon Beast Eggs and Divine Beast Eggs have one thing in common: no matter how powerful they might grow in the future, as long as they're still in egg form, even someone weak can form a contract with them, and it'll be a hundred percent success rate.

So even if Xiao Bai's strength was a bit lacking, picking up a Phoenix as his contracted Divine Beast would still give him another guardian down the line.

"Let a Phoenix Egg form a contract with me? I can really do that?"

Seeing that Tang Rao and the others all had Divine Beasts, Xiao Bai had long wanted one for himself. Now that he had this chance, of course he was thrilled.

"Take me to the Phoenix Eggs."

Tang Rao said this right in front of the Phoenix. The moment he spoke, the Phoenix almost wanted to bite Tang Rao to death.

But its whole body was limp, only one last breath left. And that very breath forced it to witness the one scene it least wanted to see.

It watched with its own eyes as Tang Rao and Xiao Bai walked up to the Phoenix Eggs. Tang Rao picked out the healthiest one. "Put your hand on it."

Put his hand on the Phoenix Egg?

Even though he didn't know what that meant, Xiao Bai still did exactly as Tang Rao said.

His palm wasn't even one-twentieth the size of the Phoenix Egg, which showed just how solid this Phoenix Egg was.

"Dad, I just put my hand on it like this? Should I try holding it?"

Just Xiao Bai?

If he could lift this giant egg, Tang Rao would do a live stream of frying fish in his bare hands for him.

That was how confident he was.

Forget lifting the egg—even trying to push it, make it budge just a little, was already a serious challenge for Xiao Bai.

"I think you'd better just keep your hand honestly on the Phoenix Egg and don't move. Wait for my instructions, that'll be best."

Tang Rao gave Xiao Bai a word of advice. Whether Xiao Bai listened or not was his own business.

Luckily, the kid was desperate to get a contracted Divine Beast, so whatever Tang Rao said next, Xiao Bai followed to the letter.

A complex Rune rose from Tang Rao's palm, and his mouth kept chanting something. The talisman climbed higher and higher, then suddenly smashed down toward the Phoenix Egg.

Ah!

Xiao Bai thought that once the talisman hit, the Phoenix Egg would be done for too. Unexpectedly, when the talisman struck, the egg didn't crack at all—instead it turned brilliantly golden.

The light on the egg was exactly the same as the light that used to shine on the Phoenix's body.
