Chapter 556: Inter-academy Tournament (46)
When she realized that the Vermilion Bird was about to challenge four mythical beasts, Shen Yanxiao held back her laughter and carried him to her side.
“Alright, stop with the nonsense.” She had expected the little boy to explode as she knew of his self-esteem, and it looked like the four mythical beasts could defeat him.
However, Shen Yanxiao could detect traces of concern in their tone even though they meant to tease the Vermillion Bird.
It did look like the mythical beasts had a pretty good relations.h.i.+p.
“I used to be the same as handsome as them too.” The Vermilion Bird looked up at Shen Yanxiao; he was afraid that she would abandon a mini-sized kid after she saw the other mythical beasts’ outstanding appearances.
He also wanted to look powerful and domineering, but he was in that form because of an accident!
“Yes, I know.” Shen Yanxiao was quite happy about the situation, but she kept it to herself. When she first encountered the Vermilion Bird, his arrogance had been imprinted in her mind. After a while, she had successfully changed a mighty and domineering mythical beast into an adorable Vermilion Bird.
Furthermore…
She felt that her adorable pet looked more pleasant than the other four mythical beasts.
Qi Xia coughed slightly before he said, “The five mythical beasts must not have seen each other for a long time, and they might have a lot to say to each other. Why don’t we leave them here and move to the next room?” The relations.h.i.+p between the mythical beasts was not something humans could understand, even if they were their masters.
The rest had no objection to that.
Surprisingly, the Vermilion Bird did not object either.
He only reminded Shen Yanxiao repeatedly to fetch him after that, and not to abandon him again.
Shen Yanxiao stifled a laugh and followed the rest of her company to the other room. Lan Fengli and Yun Qi had also followed suit.
Lan Fengli had been very well-behaved and did not speak after they met with Shen Yanxiao. He obediently sat by her side, and despite Qi Xia and others curious gazes, he still maintained his gaze on Shen Yanxiao; he did not look away once!
“The champion will be decided in the afternoon match. Xiaoxiao, Li Xiaowei, and I will be competing against each other.” Qi Xia returned to the topic about their afternoon match.
“It doesn’t matter who’s competing. If you’re capable, then we can just fight it out.” Shen Yanxiao was rather relaxed about it.
She had no intention to go easy on Qi Xia. Since she decided to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament, she did not harbor any thoughts of winning by chance. Regardless of who her opponent was, she was determined to win against them!
“You’re rather relaxed. Aren’t you afraid that I’d defeat you?” Qi Xia propped his head and revealed a lazy smile. His narrowed eyes were fixed on the confident Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao blinked and looked at Qi Xia in all seriousness. “In fact, I’ve wanted to fight you since a long time ago.”
“…” Qi Xia was slightly surprised.
“I can sense that you’re powerful, but I don’t know how strong you are. Therefore, I wish to fight you.” Shen Yanxiao’s eyes burned with eagerness. There was also another reason that she did not mention, and that was because she had wanted to beat up that crafty fox for a long time!
She wanted to see if his perfect smile would shatter if she were to defeat him!
Qi Xia laughed and said, “Oh, do I have a face that says, ‘I need to be taught a lesson’?”
“You only know that now?”
The youngsters in the room broke into laughter. The final round of the Inter-academy Tournament would start soon. Qi Xia and Shen Yanxiao knew that they would have to do their best in it!
