Chapter 61 - Signing the Contract (1)
“Lord Vermilion Bird, she doesn’t count as a member of the Vermilion Bird Family! Take a look at her appearance, how does that resemble any one of us? She’s simply a bastard child and not from our family’s bloodline!”
Shen Jiayi’s words got more vulgar, and even the sage who stood at the side frowned in displeasure.
Shen Jiayi was a young girl who had only just reached her adulthood. How could she say such hurtful words toward Shen Yanxiao, a relative from the same family?
“Slut, hurry up and get lost! You don’t have the right to stand here! A little bastard like you might as well drop dead.” Shen Jiayi’s jealousy caused her to scream her inner thoughts aloud. She would rather die than see that trash with the Vermilion Bird.
Endless vulgarities flooded the cave, and that little girl at the corner seemed so fragile and helpless, and she did not even react to Shen Jiayi’s insults.
Unbeknownst to them, the Vermilion Bird surged with anger.
That was someone he had chosen, so how could he allow others to bully her in front of him? If that continued, how could he uphold his reputation as a mythical beast?
“You’re so revolting! I can’t believe that the Vermilion Bird Family had fallen so low to have brought up such a repulsive woman like you.” The Vermilion Bird slowly turned and looked at Shen Jiayi, who was still half-seated on the ground. He raised his right hand, and an invisible force immediately lifted Shen Jiayi.
“Ahhh!!!” Shen Jiayi screamed in horror. Shen Yifeng and Shen Jiawei, who stood at one side, were also shocked when that happened.
“As the mythical guardian beast of the Vermilion Bird Family, I shall cleanse the family right now.” An arrogant smile surfaced on the Vermilion Bird’s delicate face. He hated hypocritical and shameless humans, and Shen Jiayi had insulted the person that he had personally chosen right in front of him. He would never allow such a repugnant woman to continue her existence in this world.
No one had the right to bully his people!
Shen Jiayi struggled incessantly in mid-air, but how powerful was the Vermilion Bird? A mere human like her could not possibly contend with someone like him.
Shen Jiayi’s breathing became labored because she could not breathe. It was as if her neck was strangled by an iron hand. Her delicate but scarred face paled almost instantly.
Shen Yifeng and Shen Jiawei looked at the furious Vermilion Bird in horror. Their feet could not even move a single inch as they experienced the Vermilion Bird’s powerful might, let alone to plead mercy for Shen Jiayi.
At that moment, they were dumbstruck by the Vermilion Bird’s savageness.
Shen Jiayi’s limbs continued to twitch as her eyes rolled back, and suddenly, a white silhouette that was similar to lightning flashed toward her.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Jiayi was no longer in mid-air.
The Vermilion Bird was furious at the sage for his decision to step in, and his scarlet eyes glared at Shen Jiayi, who was in the sage’s arms.
“Do you intend to fight me?” The Vermilion Bird laughed grimly.
The sage was surprised at the Vermilion Bird’s strength. As a magical beast transformed into a human form, they would have less power than their original form. However, the power that the Vermilion Bird had unleashed even caused difficulty in breathing for a few of the god envoys.
Exactly how powerful was the Vermilion Bird? The sage might not be his opponent if he were to appear in his beast form then.
