The Phoenix Phantom didn't expect Feng Yuqin to get angry, and she was really furious. It clearly felt that Feng Yuqin was starting to sever the connection between them.
Moreover, it was a rather rough way.
Feng Yuqin had never contracted a magic beast, so she didn't know much about it.
But she was smart. She understood a principle.
That was to forcibly cut off their connection.
Direct, simple, and rough.
And it was a life - risking way of cutting.
She might even lose her own life.
The Phoenix Phantom was completely stunned by Feng Yuqin's actions.
It didn't expect Feng Yuqin to have such a fiery temper.
After all, who wouldn't treat a divine beast like an ancestor when they heard about it?
But Feng Yuqin was different. She did the opposite.
In just this moment of distraction, the Phoenix Phantom found that Feng Yuqin had actually managed to create a tiny crack in their connection. Frightened, it cried out, "Stop! Stop quickly..."
But Feng Yuqin simply ignored its words and didn't even pause for a moment.
The Phoenix Phantom began to panic. Its mind raced as it thought about what had made Feng Yuqin angry. It immediately said, "I'm not the master. You are the master. You're the grand - mistress. Grand - mistress, I'm begging you. Stop quickly. If you keep doing this, both of us will die."
"So what?" Feng Yuqin snorted coldly, showing no regard for her own life.
The Phoenix Phantom was almost scared out of its wits. It immediately begged for mercy, "Grand - mistress, stop quickly. I take it seriously. I cherish my life. If you keep doing this, I'll not only die but also end up in a very miserable state. I'll never provoke you again. You're my master. From now on, whatever you say goes. If you don't want me to call myself 'master', I won't. Please just stop."
The Phoenix Phantom saw that the connection between them was almost half - cut by Feng Yuqin, and Feng Yuqin's face had turned deathly pale. Due to the pain, her expression was a bit distorted.
Thinking about how ruthless Feng Yuqin was to herself, the Phoenix Phantom shivered and continued to plead, "Master, master, I was wrong. Please stop quickly. From now on, whatever you say, I'll do. I'll listen to everything you say."
Feng Yuqin finally paused for a moment.
Seeing this, the Phoenix Phantom immediately continued, "It's true. I won't lie to you. I swear..."
Saying that, enduring the pain of being cut, the Phoenix Phantom flew out from between its eyebrows and stopped in front of Feng Yuqin. It said seriously, "I, Phoenix Shadow, hereby swear that from now on, I'll listen to my master. I'll do whatever my master tells me to do and will never disobey. If I do disobey, I'll accept any punishment from my master."
Seeing this, Feng Yuqin finally stopped cutting the connection between them.
The Phoenix Phantom heaved a sigh of relief when it saw that she had finally stopped.
Oh my god, I was so scared.
It didn't expect that the master it had met had rather weak strength but such a fiery temper.
The reason it was reluctant to submit was that it thought Feng Yuqin's strength was too weak.
No, it couldn't even be described as having strength. She simply had no soul power.
How could it, a divine beast, be willing to recognize someone without any soul power as its master?
But it seemed that God was playing a trick on it.
It was clearly recuperating in the jade pendant. But when the jade shattered, it was completely out of control and was pulled into Feng Yuqin's eyebrows by a force.
The two previous outbursts of power were simply subconscious reactions in the face of danger.
Because their spiritual consciousness was connected, Feng Yuqin knew all of Phoenix Shadow's thoughts clearly.
Not only Phoenix Shadow itself but even she felt sorry for this little guy.
Yes, it was a little guy because the Phoenix Phantom was currently just in the form of a little phoenix shadow.
However, no matter what it was like, since it had recognized her as its master, she would never allow this little guy to ride roughshod over her.
Sensing this thought, the Phoenix Phantom immediately showed its loyalty, "Master, you can rest assured. I'll never ride roughshod over you. Before, it was because I had just woken up and wasn't clear - headed. Now I'm very clear that you're my master. I'll definitely listen to you."
Seeing its eager look, she found it quite amusing. Then she asked, "Since you're my contracted beast, does that mean you'll know everything I think in the future? I won't even have a single secret?"
Hearing this, the Phoenix Phantom subconsciously wanted to look down on her, but it immediately suppressed this thought and answered obediently, "Master, if there's anything you don't want me to know, you can block it."
Then it told Feng Yuqin how to block it.
Feng Yuqin followed its instructions and could clearly sense the weak barrier.
She thought to herself that this was okay.
"Your name is Phoenix Shadow?" Feng Yuqin asked.
Because of Feng Yuqin's previous actions, the Phoenix Phantom was a bit listless at the moment, but it didn't dare not answer, "Yes, master."
"I don't have any strength now. If I shout out your name, won't it just bring trouble to me?" Feng Yuqin said. Without waiting for Phoenix Shadow to speak, she continued, "Well, I'll call you Xiaoying from now on."
Phoenix Shadow's eyes suddenly widened, "Master, can you be a bit more responsible? How can you name your contracted beast so casually? Moreover, I'm not an ordinary pet. I'm a divine beast, an ancient divine beast!"
Feng Yuqin squinted her eyes slightly and said in a cold voice, "Don't like Xiaoying? Then how about Little Shadow? Three characters, just the same as your Phoenix Shadow."
This was even worse than Xiaoying. Phoenix Shadow roared in its heart.
"Forget it. Then it's still Xiaoying." Phoenix Shadow flew back to Feng Yuqin's eyebrows rather dejectedly. From then on, its name changed from Phoenix Shadow to Xiaoying.
Feng Yuqin naturally knew that it was very dejected.
But so what?
She was never a kind - hearted person. Since it had provoked her, the master, just now, she just wanted to suppress its arrogance.
Moreover, this was a divine beast. If people knew that a useless person without soul power like her owned a divine beast, she would be hunted down by everyone on the continent.
Feng Yuqin continued to walk forward. Xiaoying's voice sounded in her mind, "Master, work a bit harder. Try to let me absorb more magic cores before we leave this forest. In this way, I'll not only be able to speak directly but also improve my strength a little."
Feng Yuqin rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Since you're my pet, don't you know that I have no soul power at all? In my current situation, not only do I have no soul power, but my constitution is also not very good. It's already very difficult for me to survive and get out of this forest. How can you still ask me to earn magic cores for you?"
After hearing this, Xiaoying also felt a bit embarrassed.
But thinking that its life was now closely related to its master's, it knew that it must get the magic cores. "Master, your constitution can be gradually restored. As for your lack of soul power, it's just because your meridians are blocked due to the poison in your body. If the meridians are unblocked, you can start cultivating. But my current strength is not enough to help you unblock your meridians. So the only thing we can do now is to get magic cores as soon as possible to improve my strength so that I can help you unblock your meridians."
Feng Yuqin's eyes lit up, "Is that true?"
Although her ability as a medical saint could also solve this problem, the medicinal materials were not cheap. She didn't have enough money on her. If Xiaoying could solve it, that would be the best.
"Absolutely true." Xiaoying sighed and said to Feng Yuqin, "I just thought that you're already fifteen years old. People on the Tianyuan Continent usually start cultivating at around five years old. You're ten years behind them. Even if you start cultivating, it will be very difficult for you to catch up with others. That's also one of the reasons why I was so unfriendly to you just now."
Feng Yuqin pouted and said, "You're really realistic."
Xiaoying felt a bit guilty, "But my current strength is still not enough. At least you have to work hard to get more magic cores. Otherwise, I won't be able to unblock your meridians."
