Chen Changan looked at Little Phoenix, whose eyes brimmed with fighting spirit, and felt rather helpless.
What on earth had his father seen in it back then? That it had a single-minded passion for fighting?
"Can't you think about anything else for once?"
"You waited faithfully in the Land of Vigil for all those years. You were so well-behaved."
"How come you changed after leaving the Land of Vigil?"
"You've become a little too wild." Chen Changan said irritably.
"I've always been like this."
"All these years, waiting for Master, I... I nearly suffocated."
"It wasn't so bad in the early days. Some people wanted me to submit to them, so they'd often come pick a fight with me. At least I could get my fix."
"But as I grew stronger and stronger, there was nobody left to fight. I didn't even get a chance to throw a punch."
"Do you know what I've been through all these years?"
"Do you?"
"Now that I've finally gotten out, I just want to fight a little. Is that so wrong?"
The more Little Phoenix spoke, the more aggrieved it sounded. Chen Changan suspected that if it went on much longer, the thing might actually start crying.
"Fine, fine. Don't get worked up. When the chance comes, I'll make sure you get a good fight."
"Really, Young Master?"
"Absolutely. You can count on it!"
"Thank you, Young Master. Then I won't beat him up just yet."
With that, Little Phoenix turned to Ren Xuan and said coldly, "Don't let me catch you alone. Otherwise, I'll beat you to death."
Ren Xuan stared, utterly baffled, at Little Phoenix's retreating figure. He really couldn't understand why it had singled him out.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Am I really that desperate to get beaten up?"
