"Chirp, chirp!"
Before Su Ping could properly examine the Fire Seed's abilities, a sharp, almost piercing cry rang out.
Above Woodheart, Little Flame had flown up alongside them on the Divine Wind Sparrow at some point.
Clearly, the commotion at Woodheart had attracted the two of them.
Su Ping glanced over but paid them no further attention.
Little Flame had been staying with this Divine Wind Sparrow all this time.
Naturally, those had been his orders.
The reason was simple. Unlike the Blue-Feathered Flame Sparrow, the Divine Wind Sparrow had intelligence almost equivalent to a child in their teens.
It would not simply stay at the Heart of Myriad Spirits after Little Flame controlled it once.
Bird-type pet beasts were among the most difficult types to tame, much like fish.
Only, the latter had poorly functioning brains and low intelligence, while the former, though their brains did not work particularly well either, instinctively yearned for absolute freedom.
Once out of control, they were bound to run off.
Over these past days, almost every time the sparrow spent about half an hour away from Little Flame, it would start flying east.
Naturally, Su Ping had to have Little Flame "brainwash" it into staying.
One could say that, in Su Ping's plans, Yaya was the bird king commanding the Heart of the Phoenix and its main fighting force, but Little Flame was its true core.
"Chirp, chirp!"
The Divine Wind Sparrow kept calling, clearly shocked by the changes in its former opponent.
Even Little Flame let out hissing sounds.
This time, those sounds held none of the previous imperiousness toward Yaya, only caution and wariness.
Clearly, Yaya had now completely broken free of Little Flame's previous classification as a "mount."
This evolution had truly remade Yaya down to the bones.
