167: Red pupils
The Little Phoenix broke the eggshell, and a cute little head popped out.
Its eyes looked quite large, and its entire body was covered in crimson fur, unlike normal baby birds that are born bald and ugly.
"Do the Phoenix Clan always have fur when they are born?"
"Of course!" Upon hearing Li Yao's words, the Undead Nether Phoenix nodded in response.
This was a matter concerning the dignity of the Phoenix Clan!
How could she not reply!
"Our Phoenix Clan is different from other races. Those low-level bird beasts are born bald and terribly ugly."
Li Yao hadn't expected there to be a hierarchy of disdain even among Phoenix.
From within the Red Phoenix Egg, the Crimson Phoenix hatched and immediately began to eat the eggshell.
After all, the eggshell contained rich energy, and it was always eaten immediately after hatching to supplement its nutrition.
It took several minutes, but the large eggshell was finally consumed.
After finishing the eggshell, the Crimson Phoenix began to preen its feathers.
Li Yao looked at this Crimson Phoenix, only forty centimeters in size, and found it quite delicate.
A big bird, completely crimson, with a hint of heroic spirit.
However, it seemed a bit unintelligent.
Could it be because it was born prematurely, and its brain hadn't fully developed yet?
"Crimson Phoenix, come, let's sign the contract."
Li Yao looked at this Little fellow and began to sign the contract with the Crimson Phoenix.
The Crimson Phoenix stared at Li Yao with its big eyes, silently watching him.
Soon, the contract began.
Li Yao only felt a burning sensation, and the next second, the contract was successful!
The moment the contract was successful, the Crimson Phoenix successfully established a connection with Li Yao.
Li Yao successfully gained his third Beast Companion!
The next contract would have to wait until a month later.
"Congratulations, great nephew, on acquiring a new Beast Companion."
The Undead Nether Phoenix also offered her sincere blessings.
She even felt a little envious, after all, the Crimson Phoenix being able to stay by Li Yao's side meant a limitless future.
But she wasn't bad either, after all, she was the Undead Nether Phoenix!
She was also a powerful existence within the Phoenix Clan!
Although in the Legacy, there were even more powerful Phoenix Clan, they had never appeared even in ancient times.
Presumably, they only appeared in the primordial era, at the very beginning of the Universe.
Because it was a premature birth, Li Yao began to observe the Crimson Phoenix's information.
Species: Crimson Phoenix Clan
Quality: Legendary Level [Brilliant Level]
Strength: Soldier-Level One
Skills: Crimson Phoenix Fire...
Weakness: A Crimson Phoenix that can be easily killed with a single slap.
Hidden Evolution Plan: Vermilion Bird....
...
Upon seeing the Crimson Phoenix's information panel, he had an 'as expected' expression.
Due to being premature, the Crimson Phoenix's quality had fallen from its original Brilliant-grade to its current Legendary Level.
If it could be nurtured for a period, say a thousand years, it might be possible for the Crimson Phoenix to return to the Brilliant Level.
However, for others, this might be a great loss.
But for Li Yao, it was no problem at all.
It was just a decrease in quality; evolution could solve the problem, so it was not an issue at all.
After clearly seeing the Evolution Materials required to evolve into a Vermilion Bird, Li Yao took the Crimson Phoenix and left the incubation room.
Outside the incubation room, the Crimson Phoenix felt the fresh air outside the incubation room for the first time.
It didn't like it much.
After all, the Crimson Phoenix Clan preferred scorching environments.
The environment where normal people stayed was like a very cold place for the Crimson Phoenix.
However, the temperature inside the Crimson Phoenix was sufficient to allow it to survive in environments of negative tens of degrees Celsius.
"Little fellow, you'll have to adapt."
"Hmm, it's also time to give you a name."
"Crimson Phoenix, with crimson pupils. How about I call you Chitong?"
The Crimson Phoenix tilted its head upon hearing this. Was Chitong her name?
"How about it? Do you like this name?"
Chitong kept rubbing against Li Yao's leg, indicating that she quite liked the name.
"Great nephew, she has hatched, so I won't stay here anymore."
Although the Undead Nether Phoenix was of the Phoenix Clan, due to her racial characteristics, she still preferred extremely cold places.
In fact, some eerie and chilly places were where the Undead Nether Phoenix most liked to stay.
"Alright, go ahead, Auntie Mingfeng."
"I'll tell my dad to prepare instant noodles for you."
Upon hearing 'instant noodles,' the Undead Nether Phoenix's eyes immediately lit up.
She loved eating instant noodles the most.
Especially the kind specially made by Li Zun.
"Hehe, it's a deal!"
The Undead Nether Phoenix playfully winked, then her figure instantly vanished.
She had clearly run off to some unknown corner to play with her game console.
Li Yao glanced at Chitong, who was still rubbing against his pant leg, and sighed helplessly.
Taking out his phone, Li Yao called his father.
Not long after, Li Zun, who was smoking in bed, looked at the beautiful woman in his arms with a sense of accomplishment.
Dad, your son is calling you!
...
Just then, Li Zun's phone rang suddenly.
Because it was a custom ringtone, Li Zun immediately knew who was calling.
"Hello, you brat, why are you calling your old man?"
"Of course, I have something to ask you."
"Dad, I need Materials to evolve my Beast Companion."
Upon hearing that Li Yao wanted to evolve his Beast Companion, Li Zun, who had been looking smug, immediately perked up his ears.
"Alright, just say it, whatever you need, your old man will get it for you."
As he spoke, Li Zun also felt quite envious.
After all, Li Yao's Beast Companion's strength was low, so the quality of the Evolution Materials required was also lower, but it could evolve to a higher level.
While his Beast Companion's strength was high, so the quality of the Evolution Materials required was also high.
This seemed a bit unfair.
But Li Yao was his own son, so there was no choice but to pave the way for this brat.
"I need...."
Soon, after ten minutes, Li Yao told Li Zun all the Materials he needed.
Li Zun was speechless after hearing it.
It actually required so many Materials, wasn't it just evolving one Beast Companion?
It actually needed so much, even more than the Materials Yuan Hong needed last time.
"Brat, why do you need so much this time?"
"Is it a lot?" Li Yao was stunned for a moment, recalling that he had spoken for ten full minutes, it was indeed quite a lot.
"It's because I'm going to evolve two Beast Companions this time."
"I plan to evolve Mo Ran as well."
