Chapter 4

That immortal herb was my master’s cherished collection over many years, and I couldn’t let this ungrateful wolf get away with it. The Phoenix hesitated in its actions, its expression filled with indecision. This herb had enticed the Phoenix to come down the mountain, so it was undoubtedly a rare treasure. Since it was such a good thing, it could not fall into the hands of the Phoenix. This time, it wouldn’t take even the slightest benefit from me. "What? Want to learn from some people’s shameless behavior?" The Phoenix’s pale face turned bright red. It flicked its sleeve, and an immortal herb flew out. "Who would want it!" Before the words even left its mouth, the little black pig, which had been lazily lying on the side, suddenly kicked its legs. Before anyone could react, it quickly swallowed the herb, and after landing on the ground, it rolled several times, and after completing a few circles, it went back to playing dead. The first to react was my master. He shouted, "My herb!" and rushed to make the little black pig vomit. I quickly grabbed the little black pig but couldn’t pull it free. All I could do was block my master and urge him to calm down. "Master, that herb was originally meant for my spirit beast. It’s only right for it to return to its rightful owner." Song Qinglan covered her mouth and giggled cutely. "Junior Sister, your pig isn’t completely useless. At least its eating speed is much faster than other spirit beasts." I suspected she was making a dig at me, but I didn’t care. Go ahead, laugh. Once you form a bond with the Phoenix, you’ll see whose spirit beast is truly the glutton.
