Spirit beasts such as phoenixes and dragons were at the top of the hierarchy of spirit beasts in every realm and world. Moreover, they were powerful and were absolutely the best spirit beasts in people’s minds.

Although the strength of Leng Ruoxue’s group was among the best on the Ling Feng Continent, they were at the bottom of the hierarchy in the Upper Realm. Therefore, they could at least protect themselves if they had a few good spirit beasts by their side.

“Grandpa, spirit beasts with superior aptitudes like phoenixes and dragons look down on humans more than other spirit beasts, so contracting them isn’t easy,” Leng Ruoxue explained. She had contracted quite a number of spirit beasts now, and the strength of spirit beasts like Charm was definitely not inferior to that of phoenixes and dragons. So if possible, she wanted to help a few people around her contract those spirit beasts.

“You’re right. Grandpa is asking for too much.” Leng Qingtian was a little disappointed.

“Not necessarily. The space of our little girl is very attractive to spirit beasts! As long as she is willing to help, those spirit beasts will definitely rush to her door,” Old Man suggested with a smile. Even his spirit beasts were unwilling to return to the spirit beast space after seeing that space, so how could other spirit beasts be an exception?

“Hmm, very reasonable. Xue’er, why don’t you try it?” Leng Qingtian couldn’t help looking forward to it again. It would be awesome if he could have a dragon or phoenix as his contract beast!

“We’ll see!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. It seems like Grandpa really wants a dragon or phoenix! In that case, I have to get one for him even if I have to snatch one.

“We’ll see about what?” Lin Liang asked curiously after sitting down beside them.

“See if we can contract with a few dragons and phoenixes,” Leng Ruoxue explained with a light smile.

“Uhh, this idea might be crazy, but Grandpa Lin supports you,” Lin Liang said excitedly. He would have sneered if anyone else said this, but it was possible since it was Ruoxue.

“I’m not the one going to contract them. I want to get them for you, Lin Yuan, and the others,” Leng Ruoxue said with a very calm expression.

“…”

“Ruoxue, you are so considerate. Grandpa Lin is in need of spirit beasts!” Lin Liang exaggeratedly wiped his tears while staring at Leng Ruoxue with shining eyes.

“Bah! What spirit beast are you lacking? Don’t you have any shame?” Old Man was the first to shout as he glared at Lin Liang with contempt.

“Exactly. I’ve known you for so many years, but why didn’t I know you were so thick-skinned until today? I really haven’t met a good person!” Leng Qingtian said regretfully. Alas! He actually made a bad friend by mistake.

“You two are obviously jealous of me. I understand!” Lin Liang said nonchalantly. People should be thick-skinned when necessary!

“Tch!” Old Man and Leng Qingtian turned their heads at the same time, ignoring the disrespectful old fellow.

Charm jumped onto Leng Ruoxue’s shoulder and said, “Master, it’s done.”

“Well done,” Leng Ruoxue praised while caressing Charm’s beautiful fluffy fur. Her beasts did things so cleanly and efficiently! They even cleaned up the battlefield.

“Quill, let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue patted his head gently.

“Yes, Master.”

“Little vermillion bird, lead the way!” Quill turned to the little vermillion bird.

“Big Sister, do you really want to go? Dragon Island stinks,” Inflame couldn’t help saying with a reluctant expression.

“Inflame, Big Sister has to go. Big Sister’s friend is on Dragon Island,” Leng Ruoxue explained. She had long heard that dragons and phoenixes disliked each other. It seemed to be true.

“Alright, Inflame will bring you there,” Inflame said obediently and landed on Leng Ruoxue’s other shoulder.

“Inflame is so well-behaved!” Leng Ruoxue praised as she caressed the little vermillion bird’s head.

“Hehe, Big Sister, your body smells so good. Inflame loves it,” Inflame said shyly.

“You perverted bird, scram!” Baby roared furiously. How dare he tease Big Sister in front of me. He must be tired of living.

Inflame moved closer to Leng Ruoxue and said pitifully, “Big Sister, he’s so fierce. He’s bullying Inflame.”

“Inflame, quickly lead the way!” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Her beasts were fighting for affection almost every day, giving her a headache. Fortunately, they hadn’t started physically fighting yet.

“Big Sister, if you want to go to Dragon Island, you have to pass through Grief Remedy Forest first. But that place is very dangerous!” Inflame explained.

“Grief Remedy Forest? Where?” Leng Ruoxue asked in bewilderment. Why hadn’t she heard of Grief Remedy Forest?

“Grief Remedy Forest is on the southernmost part of the Ling Feng Continent, and there are many poisonous creatures there,” Inflame said worriedly. Those poisonous creatures loved humans the most.

“I think I’ve read about Grief Remedy Forest in a book. Plants and animals there seem to be poisonous,” Old Man suddenly said with a serious face.

“Poison? I have to go even if Grief Remedy Forest is full of perils!” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. In fact, the reason she was so confident was because of the Heaven and Earth Bracelet. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t dare to risk everyone’s lives.

“Quill, go to Grief Remedy Forest!” Leng Ruoxue ordered.

“Yes, Master,” Quill answered and flew toward Grief Remedy Forest.

…

They finally arrived at the Grief Remedy Forest that Inflame spoke of after flying for three days.

At the entrance to the forest…

“Inflame, is this the place?” Leng Ruoxue asked the little vermillion bird, who was munching on a spirit fruit.

“Yes. It’s here. It’s very dangerous here. Big Sister, you have to be careful!” Inflame answered while eating.

“Inflame, why aren’t you afraid of these poisonous creatures since you’re from here?” Old Man asked shamelessly with a face full of curiosity.

“Because I have the aura of the Phoenix clan on me, they don’t dare to hurt me. But I’m still underage, so I can’t protect everyone to walk through this forest safely.” Inflame lowered his head shyly, feeling very guilty. Boohoo… Big Sister and the others saved me and treated me so well, but I can’t do the same for them.
