and with luu soared to an open area on
the platform cradling shiao Kai in her
hands gonon studied it intently falling
into a moment of silence during which
shiao Kai feeling flustered tilted its
head shily luu able to contain her
curiosity any longer tentatively
inquired what is going on it's making me
feel uneasy internally she grumbled what
has shiao Kai done wrong let the storm
come down upon us with greater force
guon tion stroked the tuft of delicate
fur a top shoutai head and stated
plainly today I killed Jang Mansion s r
Phoenix and the system rewarded me with
a drop of Phoenix blood which can
Elevate any pet with Phoenix lineage
directly to King level I intend to use
it on shiai she had already convinced
herself that Shia Kai possessed such
lineage Shia Kai loved to eat bamboo
rice and had the innate ability to
summon flocks of birds producing a
melodious clang sound in the process
traits unmistakably reminiscent of a
phoenix all these elements convincingly
indicated that the seemingly weakest
Shia guy bore a trace of Phoenix blood
this Revelation struck luu like a heavy
blow leaving her momentarily dazed
before she stammered K King level indeed
guon tion carefully opened her Palm
revealing a drop of golden glistening
liquid floating above chirp chirp chirp
shiao Kai instantly became agitated
bouncing on guinan's other hand eager to
gulp it down but too timid to do so its
wings flapping involuntarily in
excitement displaying none of the noble
demeanor befitting a phoenix Shia Kai
luu scolded stepping forward to grasp
Shia Kai tightly in her hand the
excitement and exhilaration on her face
faded replaced by an unusual seriousness
she locked eyes with guon tion and said
sister tion this is far too precious I
cannot accept it she acknowledged a
slight inclination towards opportunism a
tendency to lean on the powerful and an
element of sycophancy yet she understood
that such traits were common among
people most harbored similar
inclinations though some were adept at
concealing them while she wore hers
unabashedly however she was acutely
aware that minor flaws could be
tolerated by all for no one was perfect
yet would be universally condemned thus
even though she yearned to see Shia Kai
Ascend to King level immediately she
could not accept such a generous gift
from Ganon she feared that by accepting
this Boon she might usurp guan's top
position be met with her teammates
scrutinizing gazes or even be ostracized
most of all she feared that she might
become complacent as a result she truly
cherished this team and each member
within it because of her deep affection
she would not allow herself to stray off
course what what are you afraid of
gintink voice was gentle yet her gaze
was sharp are you afraid of receiving my
immense favor and not knowing how to
repay it luu nodded before shaking her
head yes that was part of it but it was
far more complex than that uton paused
before teasingly suggesting so you're
worried about stealing my top position
and inciting my ey luciu nodded dumbly
even shiai ceased its flapping ugan
smiled lightly I'm not afraid so why
should you be as she spoke she brought
the drop of blood to Shai's mouth acting
on Instinct shiao Kai opened its mouth
ready to receive the drop of blood that
sent its blood boiling Shia Kai luu
exclaimed caught off guard and unable to
intervene as Shia Kai accepted the
precious drop of blood shiu I trust you
you won't become vain from seizing the
top position I also believe that no one
will Envy you nor will you need to
constantly bear in mind the favor I've
granted you Ganon said earnestly the
blood lies in my hands Gathering dust
yet if used on shiai it will
significantly enhance our team as
strength allowing us to navigate the
impending challenges with ease this isnt
