It was a speck of red light.
Nothing else, just that small Flame Lord Fire Spirit fire sprout.
This...
Seeing the Flame Venerable Fire Spirit thrown in front of him, with no capacity to fight back, Su Ping cast a suspicious glance at the Ray Saint beside him.
However, this time the Ray Saintâs gaze was extremely serious: "Su Ping, where did you get this thing from?"
Nothing else, just that burning little fire sprout.
Su Ping felt somewhat guilty but thinking of the events that had just transpired, he regained his spirits:
"I found it! Whatâs wrong? Iâm planning to take it as my fourth pet beast, how about that?"
You wouldnât believe it, seeing this kid being so bold for the first time, even Ray Saint didnât react for a moment, and his stern face suddenly returned to normal, or rather, his stern look didnât carry any threat or authority in the first place.
"Uh... itâs your choice, but the Legendary Lord previously promised this Flame Spirit that the Dragon Nation wouldnât interfere with the rivalry between water and fire. Itâs one thing if itâs an ordinary Beast Tamer, but youâre different, Su Ping."
Ray Saint advised earnestly:
"You havenât ascended to Monarch Level yet, right? By the time you reach Dragon City, your future Monarch Level fourth pet can easily contract a dragon from the Dragon Clan, itâs authentic and rooted, why get involved in this muddy water?"
Su Ping glanced at the burning small fire sprout in his hand and then at Ray Saint, resting his chin thoughtfully: "Well, what youâre saying makes sense."
"Hiss hiss hiss!" The little fire sprout was furious, werenât we not like this before?! Havenât you always wanted to contract me as your pet beast? Is your will so unsteady?
Su Ping ignored the little fire sprout and continued:
"What do you mean? The Water Venerable left, and you want to take the little fire sprout away too?"
Ray Saint pursed his lips: "The Legendary Lord said before..."
"I donât care!"
Su Ping played the rogue:
"No matter what, Iâm the breeder Beast Master of this Dragon Emblemâs Dragon Nation, right? Such a guy that came from who-knows-where dared to threaten me, almost costing me my life!
Spouted a bunch of nonsense, dropped this thing, and then left? Now youâre not only ignoring it but also giving me trouble?! Is there such logic in the world?!
If you donât have the authority, Senior, Iâll go find Leng Ye, if that doesnât work, Iâll visit Dragon City and personally seek reasoning from the Legend of the Holy Dragon!
Screw the water and fire rivalry, what does it have to do with me? The little fire sprout was picked up by me, if I found it, itâs mine, donât believe me, ask it, does it acknowledge itâs mine?"
Upon saying this, Ray Saint blinked, then his already small eyes widened, looking at the little fire sprout beside him.
The little fire sprout hurriedly nodded, acknowledging Su Pingâs claim: "Hiss hiss hiss!"
Afterward, for the first time, it actively used its bird-form flame head to nuzzle Su Pingâs cheek affectionately.
"So, the little fire sprout isnât going to be given to you or that Water Venerable, and the higher-ups will stand up for me! To redress my grievance! Otherwise, I wonât reveal the papermanâs breeding method!"
This time, Ray Saint was angry:
"Su Ping, are you being reasonable? That being said before, Legend of the Holy Dragon had restrained it with rules and couldnât truly harm you or your pet beast, it only came to intimidate you, or maybe for another reason Iâm unaware of!
In any case, you havenât lost a single hair, even your pet beast seems to have improved, and now youâre playing rogue? Moreover, it voluntarily opened up perception-blocking, so I could realize something had happened here.
It intended for me to come over and smooth things out, what more do you want? Do you really want some Legendary Dragon King from Dragon City to declare war and engage in a legendary battle in the starry sky?"
Upon saying this, Su Ping was stunned:
"There are other Legendary Dragon Kings within Dragon City? But donât try that on me! Whatâs wrong with intimidation? Should I just be scared for nothing?"
Ray Saintâs voice faltered and then he waved his hand:
"Never mind, Iâm not going to argue with you, you stinky kid, first have your little ones go back, Iâll inform that being first."
Su Ping snorted lightly but refrained from arguing further, glanced at the other figures around him who were looking at him, and waved his hand:
"Itâs alright now, everyone can go back! Thanks for your help this time."
Amid the clattering responses, the Life Ancient Tree retreated with the plant-based pet beasts, while Old Sha whimpered with slight concern before also disappearing.
Only his own Xiao Qing and Qian Yi, who were still in that special state, remained.
Su Ping merely recalled them into the Beast Taming Space, as for the little fire sprout, there was no rush.
In fact, after understanding things, Su Ping had little to worry about, because he had mentioned to that Water Venerable earlier that he still had a trump card.
For right before the Water Venerable appeared, a figure had appeared beside him.
Not anyone else, precisely Biyauchun.
Even that so-called Water Venerable hadnât sensed Biyauchunâs presence, not even knowing when the latter had spotted it.
The reason why Biyauchun hadnât acted might be because it realized this Water Venerable truly didnât intend to harm him?
So why did it come? Just to give a reminder?
Su Ping frowned, recalling again the words spoken by the entity before leaving.
