REINCARNATION OF THIEVING GIRLS
066 - 068
Chapter 66: Recovering All of a Sudden (3)
"You!" Vermilion Bird chokes. As a first-rate mystical monster, he had confidence. Each of his masters died of old age, and none of them were killed by anyone else. The dignity of mythical beasts was related to the safety of their masters. If they could not even keep the safety of humans, then they would lose their reputation if the news spread to other mythical creatures.
Shen Yanxiao had accumulated a lot of experience from her previous life. She knows how to deal with ‘creatures’ who does not know how to cover herself well, like Vermilion Bird.
Surprisingly, Xiu did not say anything.
As Shen Yanxiao spoke, Xiu had already guessed her intentions. After the time they spent together, Xiu knew that his ally was a cunning fox. He's cunning and wily, and he values his life more than anything. If someone dared to offend him, then he would pay him a hundred times over.
For him to kill himself?
He's more likely to kill someone else.
Clearly he had lied to threaten the arrogant and haughty Vermilion Bird. Unfortunately, the little bird had yet to understand his new master. Because of that
It is a tragedy caused by ignorance.
‘The threat’ Shen Yanxiao had managed to temporarily suppress the two and after her mind became more peaceful, she looked in the other direction in the cave.
As he resolved the internal matter within his mind, he showed a calm appearance. After Shen Yifeng and the others digested the shock they felt after the contract was over, they looked at him with strange expressions.
They did not know whether they should treat Shen Yanxiao as their future Family Head or as an idiot like before.
No one dared to do anything rash in front of Vermilion Bird. However, they still had the impression that Shen Yanxiao was an idiot and so, how could someone like her lead the family?
Everyone had complicated emotions about everything that had happened, but none of them dared to take any reckless actions before Vermilion Bird.
"Congratulations." The sage handed Shen Jiayi over to the attendant from the Vermilion Bird family and walked towards Shen Yanxiao. When the Vermilion Bird chose Shen Yanxiao, the wise man was the calmest spectator in the cave. The elegant smile on her face did not waver, and her friendly demeanor made it hard to resist.
"Thank you, Sage." Shen Yanxiao's smile blossomed like a flower as she respectfully expressed her gratitude to the wise man.
No matter what happened, the sage had made a huge contribution in his quest of obtaining the Vermilion Bird.
However, that simple ‘thank you’ had caused everyone from the Vermilion Bird Family to gasp!
They uniformly looked towards Shen Yanxiao's clear and bright eyes, and they rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
A polite smile was plastered on the little girl's face, and her bright eyes no longer looked as confused as before. His clear pronunciation as he thanked came from a voice that had not yet grown into an adult.
The little girl standing in front of them was the same as a child in general, and there was no trace of her being an idiot before.
Everyone started to wonder if it was a hallucination. Shen Yanxiao had been an idiot in the Vermilion Bird Family for thirteen years, so how could she turn into a normal person in the blink of an eye?
Even a wise man did not manage to hide the shock on his face. He looked at the little girl, who seemed to be very different from before, in surprise. If Shen Yanxiao had not been in her line of sight since the beginning of the search, she would have thought that the little girl had somehow been replaced.
Otherwise, how could an idiot who had been ridiculed by everyone suddenly turn into an intelligent and normal person?
Chapter 67: Recovering All of a Sudden (4)
Shen Yanxiao smiled and bit her lips as she acted as if she felt lost. "Did I scare you? I'm sorry, but I'm also confused about what happened. When I signed the contract with Vermilion Bird, my mind suddenly became clearer. I remember that I was once an idiot, but somehow, I have become a normal person. "
Her slender and small fingers grabbed the corners of her clothes, and she looked like an innocent and confused little girl.
The wise man hastily rearranged his expression but was still thinking about the situation in his mind.
He was aware of Shen Yanxiao's condition. He had a congenital mental disorder, and someone asked him about his situation more than once over the past few years. He had already decided that Shen Yanxiao's mental deficiency would not recover, so how did she suddenly improve?
Is it because of the Vermilion Bird?
The mystical beasts had not appeared in the world for hundreds of years, and information about them was hidden by the related families. Although the God Realm had some information about mythical beasts, it was incomplete. The sage could only praise Shen Yanxiao's recovery on Vermilion Bird.
"Good very good. I'm sure your family will be happy for you. " The sage gently raised his hand as if he wanted to caress Shen Yanxiao's head.
However, the flame violently struck his hand.
As the flames shot into the sky, Vermilion Bird turned into a three to four year old child of his huge beast form.
"Don't touch her." Vermilion Bird pouted then snorted.
He disliked humans, and it was as if he had given up and bit the bullet when he received the human master. Even so, he did not want to detect the smell of another human on his little master.
The wise man laughed out loud and withdrew his hand.
The members of the Vermillion Bird Family had heard everything said between the sage and Shen Yanxiao.
The Aib of the Vermilion Bird Family has become smart!
As he looked at Vermilion Bird who was standing by Shen Yanxiao's side, Shen Yifeng felt an overwhelming fear.
He never considered Shen Yanxiao as his opponent for the position of being the successor of the Family Head. He was just an idiot and trash who was incapable of training magic or battle aura. Moreover, he had no support from his parents and was disliked by Shen Feng. He had never focused his attention on Shen Yanxiao, and even the twins were only bothering her for their own entertainment. Hence, none of them had ever considered him worthy as their opponent.
Who would have thought that an idiot who was ignored and ridiculed by everyone would experience such a shocking change in just one day?
First, he had obtained the help of the Vermilion Bird, and after that, he had managed to restore his wisdom with the power of the Vermilion Bird.
Shen Yanxiao went from being an insignificant family disciple to being the most likely candidate to inherit the position as the Head of the Vermilion Bird Family.
Shen Yifeng trembled desperately as he thought of how Shen Feng had always emphasized about the importance of Vermilion Bird, and the ‘ rumor of getting Vermillion Bird meant getting the position of Family Head.’
Even if Shen Feng had not thought too much of Shen Yanxiao before, her wisdom that had recovered and the possession of the Vermilion Bird would have turned things around for her and she would definitely be of great importance from now on. Not only that, there was also Shen Siyu whom Shen Feng had always loved and liked.
Everyone knew that Shen Jiayi hated Shen Yanxiao because of how well Shen Siyu treated her.
Does that mean a major change is imminent in the Vermilion Bird Family?
Chapter 68: Slapping Someone's Own Face (1)
All the members of the Vermilion Bird Family had gathered in the main house of their estate. Shen Feng sat on the main seat, and his usually impressive face showed a hint of nervousness.
"What did the people at the gate say? Have they seen the car? " Shen Feng frowned as he questioned Shen Ling.
Two days ago, he received news from the God Realm that the group heading towards the Lava Valley was on their way back. Despite that brief information, the messenger of the God Realm did not reveal anything. That was why the entire Vermilion Bird Family had been in a nervous state for the past two days.
Everyone knew that if the sage managed to awaken Vermilion Bird, then it was certain that one of the four disciples who went with him would sign a contract with him.
They were extremely nervous because no one knew if the sage had succeeded in his attempt to resurrect the Vermilion Bird.
After all, Vermilion Bird had been asleep for a hundred years, and none of them knew for sure whether the sage could actually do it.
After they received news from the God Realm, Shen Feng immediately sent people to stand guard at the city gate every day. He wanted to make sure that any news about the group would get to them at the first level.
Hundred years. It had been over a hundred years since the Vermilion Bird Family lost the Vermilion Bird. A hundred years later, they had a chance to get Vermilion Bird back to their family once again, and that was very important to them.
Every minute and second of waiting feels very long.
Shen Ling said, "There's no news yet, but according to estimates, they'll be back soon. Dad, don't worry too much. The gods will bless our Vermilion Bird Family, and this journey will definitely be a success. "
Shen Feng sighed. He was someone who had one foot in his grave, and if they were unable to awaken Vermilion Bird, he knew that he would not have the chance to meet that mystical monster for the rest of his life.
The main house was completely silent, and everyone was as agitated as Shen Feng.
Suddenly, an officer with a hurried expression ran towards the main house.
Shen Ling identified him as the officer he had sent to stand guard at the city gate.
"Report to the Head of the Family! They're back! Our family car has returned! " The officer exclaimed with excitement.
Shen Feng's expression flinched, and his hands trembled as he grabbed the arm in his chair.
"Quickly, follow me to welcome the wise man!" Shen Feng's tone of voice changed slightly due to his excitement as he quickly stood up and ordered the entire Family to rush towards the gate.
Seven to eight carriages uniformly stopped in front of the gate, and the wise man took the lead to descend. A gentle smile was seen on his face as he looked towards Shen Feng which had made everyone welcome them.
"We've been troubling you, Sage. Please, come in and rest! " Shen Feng managed to keep his composure because he knew that he had to keep his respect for the wise.
"I'm glad that I didn't fail in your duties. Congratulations." The wise man smiled and announced the good news everyone had been waiting for.
Vermilion Bird had actually awakened!
All the members of the Vermilion Bird Family gasped as the sage delivered the news. It was not easy for others to understand how important Vermilion Bird was to them, and pleasant surprises filled their hearts with excitement. They try to master their joy in honor of the wise, but their heavy breath betrays their minds.
They were so happy to meet the Vermilion Bird their entire life!
It is something that all family members miss day and night!
Shen Feng almost cried out in excitement. He nodded as he was suffocated by emotion while he stared intently at the several carriages behind the sage.
