Chi Hong gave her a strange look.
"What does that have to do with me? If you want to get stronger, just hole up in the Star Dou Forest and train slowly. After a hundred or two hundred thousand years, wouldn't you be invincible?"
The Little Auspicious Beast's eyes widened.
"Why won't you accept me? My strength and talent are clearly among the very best on the continent!"
Chi Hong said calmly,
"Your talent is indeed impressive, but I don't think your personality suits my team. I'd rather raise a young Soul Beast with decent talent, one that's a little more obedient and trusts me more."
The Little Auspicious Beast immediately gritted her teeth and said indignantly,
"How is that possible? You're lying! You clearly took in the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and Bi Ji. They're all much older than me! Hundreds of thousands of years older, even!"
The Ice Empress frowned. Although the Little Auspicious Beast was right, for some reason, hearing it made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Little Auspicious Beast, your auntie is already so old, yet you haven't turned your nose up at me. I really must apologize."
Bi Ji's gaze was unfathomable, while a kindly smile remained on her face.
But to the Little Auspicious Beast, there seemed to be a hint of something sinister in it.
Chi Hong held the little Snow Empress in one arm and said,
"Heh, are you as sweet and obedient as my daughter? Are you as gentle and kind as Bi Ji? That's not even mentioning Bingbing, who trusts me without reservation."
Xiao Xue'er chimed in,
"That's right, that's right! Xiao Xue'er always listens to Dad! Mom loves Dad the most, too. No matter how Dad hits Mom, Mom never gets angry. It actually makes her really happy!"
