Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 584 - 271: Mysterious Flame! The Rapid Expansion of the Heart of Myriad Spirits!
This Fire Sprout is too small.
So much so that if one only used the naked eye, it would be very hard to see directly.
Su Ping had finally understood why numerous inspections had failed to reveal anything.
If this thing hid within real flames, especially in the Fire Cultivation Realm, it would be utterly invisible.
Moreover, since it had emerged from that mysterious Fire Phoenix, it was only logical that it possessed various hiding abilities.
Su Ping took a deep breath and then used his spiritual power to ask,
"Who are you? Why have you appeared inside my Beast Taming Space?"
"..."
A string of indecipherable sounds came from the Fire Sprout.
Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, instinctively listening with his spiritual power.
As expected, it was the ancient Serpentine Script:
"Humans... despicable... betrayers..."
The voice was fragmented, but the content made Su Ping frown immediately.
Su Ping continued with a frown using Psychic Communication,
"Is there some kind of misunderstanding? Who are you exactly?"
Since the other party was impolite, Su Ping naturally saw no reason or need to be courteous in return.
However, upon asking again, the Fire Sprout flickered slightly and made another sound.
Su Ping quickly captured this with his spiritual power, yet this time, the voice’s content left him stunned:
"I... am... who?"
The Little Flame seemed to ponder this question itself and then, with a PUFF, this little creature flickered a few times before settling back amongst the flock of birds.
This tiny Fire Sprout, seemingly realizing it had exposed itself, simply stopped hiding under Su Ping’s observation.
But Su Ping blinked in confusion.
"Speak clearly! Did you or did you not steal my Flame Fruit?"
"Hey! Are you going to talk or not?"
Su Ping looked at the flickering Little Flame, which showed no intention of answering further, and he seemed to understand a bit better.
However, Su Ping thought of the last scene he had witnessed.
The flame that had formed into a Phoenix eventually burst apart, becoming countless fiery meteors that scattered everywhere.
Of course, that thought was just a fantasy.
But
Su Ping scratched his head anxiously. Without a second thought, he instantly locked onto the Little Flame.
He wanted to capture it, but just as that thought solidified, the Fire Sprout PUFFED and disappeared into a nearby fire...
"TSK... what character!"
Su Ping narrowed his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
But in the end, after some thought, Su Ping decided not to do so.
But it had to be said that Su Ping’s curiosity was fully aroused.
「So... three days later.」
During these days, Su Ping was absorbed in researching how to feed the Little Flame with Flame Fruits, cultivating Xiao Qing, and giving lessons to the other birds, including Toothy. His work was interrupted when his door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure stormed in:
"I say, didn’t we agree before? Once you finished your research and cultivation, you’d help me with this ancestral reversion research, right?"
