Chapter 1699: Face-slapping, Round 5 (9)

Little Phoenix said, “It’ll only move on and get rid of its pain if it joins us and signs the master-pet contract with you.”
Feng Wu thought, “Can we stop talking about it for a while?”
The horse bellowed as it ran, “I’ll never sign such a contract! Not in a million years! After this is over, we’ll go our separate ways and I’ll never see you again! Hmph!”
Seeing that it had made the horse even angrier, the bird winked at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu rolled her eyes and told it to shut up.
The longer it spoke, the more wrong things it would say.
Suddenly, Feng Wu frowned. “Wait, I think I hear something ahead of us.”
The horse had been running in a frenzied state and Feng Wu had no idea where it was taking them.
Little Phoenix listened carefully and said, “I think I hear the sounds of fighting.”
But the horse was running so fast that the wind filled their ears. They couldn’t tell what it really was.
Little Phoenix told the horse, “Hey, stop running. You’re not helping at all!”
Although it was still mad, the horse didn’t forget its real job, so it stopped, panting angrily.
Feng Wu was about to rub its head to appease it, when Little Phoenix cried out.
“Stop!”
Feng Wu looked at Little Phoenix in bewilderment.
Little Phoenix flapped its wings and said angrily, “You’re not allowed to pet it!”
Feng Wu was utterly baffled. “What?”
Little Phoenix said, “This is a war between the two of us. As my master, you’re not allowed to interfere! You must stay neutral!”
Feng Wu cleared her throat uneasily.
Crossing its wings and raising its tail, Little Phoenix said, “If you pet it, I’ll be mad at you!”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
She wondered why all her pets were so self-opinionated.
When she looked at the horse, it only flicked its tail.
She had no choice but to give in. “Fine, fine. I’ll leave it to you, but that’s an internal strife, so can we put it aside for a while? We’ll get back to it after we solve the external problem and get ourselves to safety. Okay?
“Okay?” Feng Wu looked from the bird to the horse.
Little Phoenix glanced at the horse proudly. “Fine. I don’t know about the horse, though.”
The proud horse couldn’t stand such provocation, so it smirked and said, “Of course I can do that as well!”
Feng Wu let out a breath of relief.
She had a feeling that things would be a lot more interesting around her from now on, but she would also get headaches quite often.
As for the possibility that the horse wouldn’t sign the contract and would leave her, she never considered it.
She wanted this spiritual pet, and it wasn’t going anywhere.
Moreover, it had been abandoned by Zuo Qingluan. She couldn’t wait to see the day when she transformed the horse into an amazing spiritual beast and showed it to Zuo Qingluan. Just the thought of that made Feng Wu smile.
“Why are you smiling?” Little Phoenix looked at its master in confusion.
Its master was smiling like a little fool, and Little Phoenix didn’t know where to begin to vent its sarcasm.
“Ahem —” Feng Wu covered her embarrassment by clearing her throat, and she quickly changed the subject. “That sound came from the northeast, right?”
Little Phoenix flew up to a tall tree so that it could see further ahead.
