“Please allow me to briefly introduce myself,” Wen Xiangjie said with a smile.
The Phoenix Lord nodded.
“My name is Wen Xiangjie, I am 15 years old, the youngest Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the history of the Cultivation World. I am the personal disciple of the Taiyi Sect Supreme Sect Leader, the top Immortal Cultivation Sect in the Cultivation World, and the Young Master/Mistress of the Wen Family, the top Immortal Cultivation Family in the Cultivation World.”
“I enjoy the Cultivation World’s top resources. When I go out, I am personally protected by Mahayana Realm experts. You can rest assured if your Little Phoenix follows me. She will live a life of luxury, with dedicated protection and absolute safety. It’s impossible for me to get into trouble, and your Little Phoenix is guaranteed to grow up safely and soundly.”
The Phoenix Lord and Luotuo Qi were stunned as they listened.
They had originally thought Wen Xiangjie’s self-introduction would be like Luotuo Qi’s, expressing loyalty and how she would treat the Little Phoenix well.
They hadn’t expected Wen Xiangjie’s self-introduction to be like this?
The key was, this self-introduction indeed seemed to show great strength!
The Phoenix Lord could hear the confidence in Wen Xiangjie’s words; she wasn't lying, everything she said was true.
With the resources in this scroll, the Phoenix Lord was not worried about the Little Phoenix’s growth resources, but these Little Phoenixes, who had only recently been born, had cultivation levels comparable to a Cultivator’s Nascent Soul Stage.
When the Little Phoenixes encountered danger, they could hide in the scroll, but if their companions could not protect their safety, forcing them to constantly cower in the scroll, it would not be conducive to the Little Phoenixes’ growth.
Originally, after hearing Luotuo Qi’s declaration of loyalty, the Phoenix Lord’s heart had leaned somewhat towards Luotuo Qi.
After all, the Luo Family was indeed loyal servants of the Phoenix Clan, and she felt very at ease entrusting the Little Phoenix to Luotuo Qi.
But Wen Xiangjie’s self-introduction was simply too authoritative.
Wen Xiangjie’s background allowed her to walk unhindered in the Cultivation World, and she herself was a person of extraordinary talent. Such a person was born with great fortune and protected by the Heavenly Dao.
The Little Phoenix staying by Wen Xiangjie’s side could also benefit from Wen Xiangjie’s influence and achieve better growth.
The Phoenix Lord felt she was in a dilemma, but in Luotuo Qi’s eyes, it was not like that at all.
The Phoenix Lord’s crown was already tilted towards Wen Xiangjie!!!
“Lord Phoenix!” Luotuo Qi immediately spoke out.
“Ah? Ah.” The Phoenix Lord came back to her senses and awkwardly twisted her crown back into place.
“Both of you are very good. So, you two shall compete fairly.”
The Phoenix Lord turned around and chirped at the Parasol Tree. Over a dozen Little Phoenixes flew down.
They gathered around the Phoenix Lord, curiously looking at Wen Xiangjie and Luotuo Qi.
“These are the younglings of my Phoenix Clan. One of them will follow you when you leave.” The Phoenix Lord lovingly stroked the feathers of each of these Little Phoenixes.
“I will give you half an hour. During this half an hour, you can use any method to attract their attention and gain their favor. Ultimately, whoever attracts more younglings will receive the inheritance of my Phoenix Clan.”
Upon hearing the competition method, a hint of joy unconsciously appeared on Luotuo Qi’s face.
But thinking of the performance of the Little Phoenix that had just landed on her shoulder, Luotuo Qi nervously glanced at the calm-faced Wen Xiangjie next to her.
Regardless, she actually had an advantage with this competition method.
She couldn't compare to Wen Xiangjie in terms of Family background, cultivation, or talent.
But when it came to gaining the affection of the Phoenix younglings, she still had some confidence.
The jade slips passed down by the Luo Family meticulously recorded the Phoenixes’ preferences, and a section of her storage ring was always filled with things the Phoenixes liked, which was also one of the Luo Family’s ancestral teachings.
After the timer started, Luotuo Qi quickly took out these items that the Phoenixes liked from her storage ring.
At the same time, she also took out a set of cooking utensils and began to prepare food that the Phoenixes enjoyed on the spot.
The Phoenix Lord nodded in satisfaction upon seeing Luotuo Qi’s skilled movements.
As expected of a Luo Family member. Tens of thousands of years had passed, yet they remained loyal to the Phoenix Clan, and the Luo Family’s younger generation was still so adept at preparing the food their Phoenix Clan loved to eat.
Then, the Phoenix Lord looked at Wen Xiangjie and saw that the Little Phoenix who had guided Wen Xiangjie had already landed back in Wen Xiangjie’s palm, gently pecking Wen Xiangjie’s finger, signaling Wen Xiangjie to continue playing the finger-hopping game they had been playing earlier.
Wen Xiangjie held her hands upwards, nimbly flipping her fingers, and the Little Phoenix happily hopped back and forth on Wen Xiangjie’s fingers, having a wonderful time.
The Phoenix Lord lowered her head and saw that almost all of the dozen or so Little Phoenixes surrounding her were looking towards Wen Xiangjie.
Only one Little Phoenix looked towards Luotuo Qi, sniffing the fragrance coming from Luotuo Qi’s side, a hint of hesitation flashing across its face, but it quickly turned its head back towards Wen Xiangjie.
Soon, several Little Phoenixes couldn’t resist flying onto Wen Xiangjie’s shoulders and head, rubbing against Wen Xiangjie while chirping loudly.
These Little Phoenixes were still too young to communicate with Wen Xiangjie, but the Phoenix Lord could understand what these Little Phoenixes were saying.
“This human smells so good! So pretty!”
“I love cuddling with her!”
“I think she’s even prettier than my favorite ruby!”
“I want to play games with her too! When are you done playing? I’ll line up first, it’s my turn next!”
“What’s going on over there? It smells good, I kind of want to eat it, but this human still smells better.”
“Anyway, it’s for us, so when she’s done, we can just eat it and then fly back to this human, right? I really like this human, I can share some with her later!”
The Phoenix Lord: …
She looked sympathetically at Luotuo Qi, who was unaware of the Little Phoenixes’ conversation and was still diligently cooking.
Sometimes, not understanding was also a kind of happiness.
However, this Cultivator named Wen Xiangjie indeed possessed an astonishingly high affinity.
If it were another Cultivator standing here, she would probably have already given the Phoenix Clan’s inheritance to Luotuo Qi, because compared to a stranger Cultivator, the descendants of the Luo Family, who had been loyal to their Phoenix Clan for tens of thousands of years, were naturally more trustworthy.
But when Wen Xiangjie and Luotuo Qi stood together, her heart initially only slightly leaned towards Luotuo Qi, which was enough to show that Wen Xiangjie’s affinity was incredibly astonishing, making even her involuntarily feel a fondness for Wen Xiangjie.
After a long period of busy work, Luotuo Qi finally finished making one of the Phoenixes’ favorite snacks recorded in the jade slip: Glazed Fire Amber.
The fragrance spread, and the Little Phoenixes standing on Wen Xiangjie finally turned their gaze towards Luotuo Qi.
They flapped their wings and flew towards Luotuo Qi.
A surprised smile appeared on Luotuo Qi’s face.
