Looking at Shen Yanxiao’s brilliant smile, Vermilion Bird suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

That smile was so familiar!

Every time Shen Yanxiao tricked him, she would put on such a harmless smile!

When he saw that smiling face, Vermilion Bird knew that nothing good would happen!

“No need! It would be better to find them myself!!!” Vermilion Bird immediately shook his head like a rattle. Every time Shen Yanxiao asked him for help with such a smile, she would either ask him to act as a robber or a messenger, transportation, and so on…

Shen Yanxiao stretched out her hands and held Vermilion Bird’s shaking head.

“Don’t be so nervous. It’s just a small favor,” Shen Yanxiao said with a smile.

Vermilion Bird was about to cry. How could he not understand his master’s shamelessness? When could he believe her words?

“Can I not… Taotie is also idle right now.” Even though Vermilion Bird wanted to spend more time with Shen Yanxiao, the task Shen Yanxiao a.s.signed him every time was to wander around the world. Not only did he fail to stay by her side for a while, but he was also sent eight hundred miles away.

It could not be more tragic!

“No, only you can help me with this!” Shen Yanxiao was extremely firm.

Vermilion Bird pouted.

“You’re just fooling me! I don’t believe you!” He would never believe in her anymore!

“Be good, I won’t fool you this time.” Shen Yanxiao pacified the tsundere little bird in a soft tone.

Vermilion Bird glared at him with his scarlet eyes, looking furious.

“So you were indeed fooling me in the past!!”

“…” Shen Yanxiao was speechless. When did the proud little bird become so smart?

“It’s different this time. Vermilion Bird, be good. You know that I need you the most.” Shen Yanxiao immediately changed her strategy when she realized that fooling him would not work.

As expected, Vermilion Bird’s expression improved when he heard Shen Yanxiao’s words.

“Hmph, you also know that you need me the most?”

“Of course!” Shen Yanxiao nodded with a smile.

Taotie leaned against the wall and looked at Shen Yanxiao with a crying expression. He whispered in an extremely aggrieved voice, “Master…” Did his master think that he was useless and so she never found him for help?

Shen Yanxiao was surprised. She had just coaxed one, why was the other so sad?

Vermilion Bird immediately glared at Taotie. “Shut up if you don’t want to die.”

Taotie, who still wanted to make his presence known in front of Shen Yanxiao, immediately shut his mouth and leaned against the wall like a gecko.

“…” Shen Yanxiao was speechless.

It had to be said that Taotie was really afraid of Vermilion Bird.

In fact, if they were to fight, Taotie, who had advanced to a holy beast earlier, would have a higher chance of winning. However, for some reason, every time Taotie saw Vermilion Bird, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He would not even put up the slightest bit of resistance.

“Cough, tell me! What do you want me to do this time? Let me say this first, I will not run errands for you.” Vermilion Bird slightly raised his chin and spoke rather arrogantly.

Shen Yanxiao said, “You are not running errands. I just want to borrow your flame.”

Vermilion Bird was stunned and did not understand what Shen Yanxiao meant.

Shen Yanxiao pulled Vermilion Bird directly to the laboratory and pushed him to the edge of the furnace. “I can’t use the fire that the dwarves gave me, so I want to use yours.”
