“Don’t you think that your words are very insincere?” The Vermilion Bird crouched by Shen Yanxiao’s side, and his small physique formed a ball-like shape as his fair little fingers drew circles on the ground. Which of his former masters were not powerful and famous overlords? However, it seemed that Shen Yanxiao had no such similarities with them. There were no vigorous battles, and she even liked to play dirty tricks to defeat her opponent in an effortless victory. That was a blow to his ego.

Could she give him a chance to show off? He only wanted to display his awesome power!

It was not long until the Vermilion Bird’s wish came true.

Shen Yanxiao looked at a certain chubby kid who was crouched under the tree as he drew evil-looking circles. Her staring inevitably caused his hair to stand.

“What do you want…” The Vermilion Bird slightly shivered from her gaze. Shen Yanxiao’s despicable and shameless dirty tricks had left a traumatic experience that haunted him. As he thought about how she tricked him into entering her body, the Vermilion Bird could not help but tremble at the memory.

“Don’t be nervous. I only wanted you to do a small favor for me.” She smiled as she took out a veil from her space ring.

Lin Ke crouched under the tree as sounds of bell-like laughter flooded his ears. Four of his teammates enjoyed the hot spring while he kept watch as he was the only male student in the group. As he looked at the neatly folded articles of clothing by his foot, it was as if he could smell the fragrance of women that emanated from them.

Lin Ke unconsciously gulped, and he fantasized about those four naked fair beauties who were frolicking in the hot springs.

He felt warm heat beneath his nose, and his hand reached out to wipe it.

Blood stained his fingers.

“…” He had a nosebleed!

!!..

‘See no evil’!

Oh no!

It should have been to ‘think no evil’!

Lin Ke wanted to cry. He was only an ordinary swordsman, one without any strength or special reputation. When they were asked to find a group, he did not take the initiative to join any team as he was inarticulate. He only foolishly stood at the public plaza. It was not until a female student from the Magus Division who came up to invite him into her team that he finally found a group.

Lin Ke did not think much of it as he was not familiar with the students from the other Divisions. Naturally, he thought he was lucky that someone had invited him to join their group.

However, when Lin Ke met his other team members, he thought that he would cry tearlessly.

He had four gorgeous beauties as his team members. If it were any other male student in his position, they would have probably died from a nosebleed. Among the four beauties, one of them held the fifth rank in the Magus Division, and another was the top student in the Archer Division. Lin Ke finished last in his division the year before that, and so even if he had evil intentions toward the ladies, he would have to think twice about that.

He could not even consider a favorable opportunity with those beautiful women. Throughout the journey, they had treated him like a coolie. He had to gather firewood, light a campfire, and he even had to keep watch during the night. Only God knew how much he had endured as he gazed at the four beauties in their slumber. One of them even talked in her sleep.

As he thought about the soft moans that stirred his body’s temperature, Lin Ke tried to weep but failed to shed a tear.

Just when Lin Ke rejoiced over his still-intact body and lamented his incomplete life, he heard a young voice nearby.

“I paved this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, you’d have to leave your money!”

A little kid, who probably had just learned how to walk, stood in front of Lin Ke with a veil that covered his face. He looked very energetic with his little hands on his waist. However, his slightly knitted eyebrows and grief-filled huge eyes looked out of place.

A certain heartless thief who hid in the dark immediately collapsed on the floor as she laughed at the arrogant mythical beast delivered a professional thief’s opening remarks that she had fabricated.

The speech was meant to show power when one blocked another’s path, but it only sounded adorable when a young voice said it.

Lin Ke was dumb-founded. Where did that little kid come from? Why did he have a pair of scarlet-red eyes? Also, what did he just say?

Even though he did not understand how the kid could say those words, he still managed to assume its meaning.

He was there to rob him!

However…

Could a kid who only reached the height of his waist rob him?

“Little… kid, are you lost?” Lin Ke could not see the connection that the kid could have had with the violent thieves and mercenaries that supposedly entered the Obscure Forest to hunt magical beasts.

There were quite many low-level magical beasts in the forest, and mercenaries would hunt them for their magical cores.

So, it was not unreasonable for a little kid to jump out at him so suddenly.

!!..

“You’re the little kid. Your whole family is a bunch of little kids!” The ten-thousand-year-old Vermillion Bird gritted his teeth as he glared at the reckless human. At the same time, he cursed his master, who had no moral principles at all.

It was her stupid idea to have a magnificent mythical beast like him to impersonate a thieve to rob people!

Lin Ke was stunned by that baby-like voice and scratched his head as he did not know how to deal with him.

“Oh… okay. You’re not a little kid, alright? However, this place is not safe for a little kid like you…”

“F*ck your little lad. Didn’t you hear what I just said? I’m a thief!” At that moment, his eyes brimmed with unshed tears as he was aggrieved with the situation. The Vermillion Bird had never suffered such humiliation. He thought about the times he had collaborated with his previous masters, and each occurrence was one that could shock the heavens. Only an ignorant idiot would make him do something that was against his moral character.

The situation was made worse when the damned human refused to cooperate with his and completely disregarded his intention to rob him.

Lin Ke sighed and began to say, “Why are you so…” However, before he could finish his sentence, the Vermillion Bird exploded from anger and appeared in front of him in a flash. His delicate small hand formed a little fist, and he punched Lin Ke before the latter could react.

Lin Ke wailed, and his body flew backward into the dense forest like a broken kite. After a while, a thud was heard, as if something had fallen onto the ground.

Shen Yanxiao’s mouth twitched as she looked at the mythical beast that attacked Lin Ke so brutally and then she walked toward him.

“Why do we need to be so troublesome? We could just punch the lights out of him!” the Vermilion Bird said unhappily as he pulled the veil off his face.

Shen Yanxiao did not say anything as she lifted the mythical beast and dashed toward where Lin Ke would have landed.
