This was the hissing sound emitted by Little Fla.
However, through his Psychic Communication Talent, Su Ping could understand Little Fla’s entire aning.
Although it was just a different way of saying the sa thing, for Su Ping, it ant he no longer needed to use the ancient, power-consuming Serpentine Script to communicate. This signified that the Little Fla before him had finally awakened its consciousness.
Indeed, Su Ping could feel that Little Fla was now filled with an indescribable sense of liveliness. This feeling was vastly different from the rigid fire spirit that had previously only known to subconsciously dodge his senses.
Su Ping’s spirits imdiately lifted.
The bizarre Fire Phoenix had once dealt Su Ping an unprecedented shock. In fact, as soon as Su Ping confird Little Fla’s appearance was related to the exploding Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix phenonon, he had already decided: if possible, he wanted to form a contract with this Elental Fla.
Although this little thing didn’t quite fit Su Ping’s ideals for choosing a Pet Beast.
However, with the cub of a Legendary Level Pet Beast right before him, Su Ping’s only thought was: Ideals? What are those?
So, Su Ping eagerly focused his consciousness on the little creature. Then, using Psychic Communication, he projected what was undoubtedly the most sincere and gentle voice he had ever mustered:
"Little one, are you awake?"
Little Fla burned gently, then, to Su Ping’s surprise, it slowly transford. It changed from a tiny fla into a small, bird-like shape, about the size of a fingernail. It sowhat resembled a sparrow but was slightly more elongated and entirely fiery red.
Its equally condensed, fiery red pupils sensed Su Ping’s consciousness approaching within the Beast Taming Space, and it instinctively recoiled.
"HISS HISS!" it conveyed, its aning clear: *Human... stay away!*
Sure enough, through Psychic Communication, the aning within Little Fla’s ’words’ ca through crystal clear.
The smile on Su Ping’s face never faded. His condensed form within the Beast Taming Space wore a bright smile that anyone would praise as belonging to a quintessential sunny boy, corners of his mouth turned up to reveal eight pearly white teeth.
"Little one, I’m the one who’s been feeding you all this ti! I’m not a bad person, you know!"
Honestly, saying things like this always makes feel like so creepy old guy luring a kid with candy, Su Ping thought.
The now bird-shaped Little Fla looked exactly like a wary little girl on the defensive.
"HISS HISS!" it communicated. *Humans... despicable... harboring ulterior motives!*
The prejudice between humans—no, between humans and this Little Fla—was like a towering mountain.
Su Ping was quite displeased with Little Fla’s stereotypical view of him. "Other humans might be, but how have I been despicable? Little one, I’ve painstakingly taken care of you all this ti. Now that you’ve grown up and beco capable, you don’t recognize anymore?"
These words even seed to move the nearby Biyao Chunshen.
Biyao Chunshen promptly dug its strange rhizos into the soil of Su Ping’s Beast Taming Space. Then, its body elongated and snagged an ’Aromatic Spirit lon’—an Elite Level resource that had manifested due to the stimulation of its aura. This being, originally ford through Elentalization, actually broke open the spirit lon (also a resource) and tossed half to Xiao Qing. Then, this Biyao Chunshen, quite unlike a typical resource, settled in to watch the drama unfold between Su Ping and Little Fla, contentedly munching on its share of the lon. It’s actually eating?! Su Ping thought, baffled, though now wasn’t the ti to dwell on it.
Little Fla, at this point, seed sowhat taken aback by Su Ping’s aggrieved tone.
Su Ping could tell this Little Fla was different from Biyao Chunshen. Biyao Chunshen possessed high intelligence and formidable power, and it also seed to harbor so secrets. But this little creature, he mused, seed different from the true Phoenix of the Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix phenonon. For one thing, Su Ping’s brief observation told him that Little Fla’s intellect was still quite nascent.
However, its seemingly innate hatred for humanity puzzled Su Ping. Why does it hate humans so much?
Sure enough, after a mont of apparent confusion, Little Fla ’spoke’ again:
"HISS HISS!" *Always... ulterior motives...*
Su Ping was furious. All those Fla Fruits he had painstakingly gathered had been secretly devoured by this little critter! Moreover, when he had offered it nurous other resources, this little rascal had accepted them all without hesitation. And now, it dared to call him soone with ulterior motives?
Why didn’t it say I had ulterior motives when it was busy eating all my stuff?
Well... it’s true I do have my own agenda, Su Ping admitted to himself. I was hoping to raise it and then, if possible, form a contract. But still, it can’t just accuse like that, can it? Does eating my resources not make a good person in its eyes? Does using my resources not an it accepts , at least a little?
"What an ungrateful little thing!" Su Ping exclaid.
"HISS HISS!"
The fla-bird’s wings fluttered agitatedly, reacting strongly to Su Ping’s words.
"HISS HISS HISS HISS HISS!" *Humans... are the ones... who are ungrateful... a despicable Race...*
Clearly, that word—ungrateful—had struck a nerve with the little creature.
Su Ping grew curious. He didn’t understand why it reacted so strongly. What’s the reason behind it?
"Then tell , how exactly are humans ungrateful, and how exactly are they despicable?"
