âSo what if itâs a sky class demon bird. Father, arenât you also the same, a sky class martialist? Why canât you subdue it?â
Bai Zhi bites her lip, unable to divert her gaze away from the beautiful phoenix. If she could control it, the whole city would become envious of her.
âZhi, stop your fussing!â Contrary to his usual indulgent attitude, Bai Zheng Xiang was rather stern this time around. Going dark in the face, âThatâs a demon bird, not something you can control so donât irritate it.â
Sad inside, Bai Zhi didnât want to accept this reality but couldnât do anything to remedy the situation.
Ignoring the crowd, the Searing Flame Phoenix makes a low bird call and then slowly walked towards Bai Yan with elegance and pride.
This naturally caught the attention of everyone. Their gaze firmly pinned to the flaming red figure and the woman thatâs waiting.

âGrandfather.â Giving the phoenix only one glance, Bai Yan shifts her attention back to the old grandpa: âDo you like this gift I prepared for you?â
Silence hanged over the banquet hall. If a needle were to drop to the floor right now, it would definitely be heard.
Hesitant in his voice, Old Lord Lan looks to the girl: âThe gift isâ¦â
It canât be this Searing Flame Phoenix?
No!
No way!
For a minute there, everyone here was coming up with this idea. However, it was firmly pushed back down.
Whoâs Bai Yan?
A useless woman who got pregnant and eloped with a man! With her ability, how can she subdue a sky class Demon Beast?
Under the signaling look of Bai Yan, the bird begins to lower its proud head and prostrated itself before the old lord.
This was the custom of the Phoenix race.
If a member of the Phoenix race were to ever surrender itself before another being, they will lower their head and prostrate themselves on the ground. This proves they are willing to become their mount.
Roughly rubbing her eyes, Bai Zhi couldnât believe the scene. Clenching her fist into a hard ball, she nearly bit through her lips from how angry she was.
âThisâ¦â Lan Yuâs (uncle) breathing became a little tense, âThis Searing Flame Phoenix is your grandfatherâs gift?â
Thatâs not your average demon beast out there, itâs a sky class Searing Flame Phoenix!
Even in the Demon Beast Sect, thereâs only a few that could subdue such a being!
If the Lan family can get their hands on this phoenix, that would mean they will once again break into the first-rate noble family class!
Confirming it with humm, Bai Yan didnât beat around the bush: âGrandfather is getting old so in order to make traveling easier for him, I specifically prepared this phoenix for him. This way he wonât have to walk so much.â
Nearly everyone were gasping for air, some were even twitching in the eye at the explosive statement.
Too old? Inconvenient when traveling?
This old lord looks absolutely fantastic, which part of that looks old?
And donât you think itâs too extravagant to use a phoenix as a ride?
âFather!â Seeing the prostrating bird before Old Lord Lan, Bai Zhiâs jealousy completely twisted her, âDidnât you say all demon beasts are arrogant and proud? Why is it willing to submit to Bai Yan?â
Ignoring the girlâs questioning, Bai Zheng Xiang only looked towards Bai Yan with his gloomy face.
âYou did this on purpose didnât you? Deliberately hiding away this phoenix so I would drive you away from the Bai House.â
