The charming widow of the Marquis's mansion: The stable boy carries the flag and raises the dra

This is clearly a newly hatched chick!

Murong Qing was also stunned. She squatted down and looked at the little thing that was still crawling towards Wang Long. She couldn't help but reach out her finger and gently poke its round body.

"So...so cute..."

The little creature was poked so hard it flipped over, lying on its back on the stone bed. It kicked its little legs and struggled for a while before finally rolling over.

It shook its head and continued crawling towards Wang Long. Finally, it reached Wang Long's hand, rubbed its head against his fingers, and made a satisfied "cheep cheep" sound.

Just then, a mysterious power surged from between Wang Long's eyebrows, transforming into a golden light that connected him with the little creature.

Soul Contract.

Completed in an instant.

Wang Long sensed its presence.

It's not the feeling between a pet and its owner, but a deeper connection.

They are like part of each other's souls, intertwined and interdependent.

He could feel its heartbeat, its emotions, its curiosity about this unfamiliar world, and its affectionate dependence on it.

"Chirp chirp!"

The little creature chirped happily twice, flapped its wings from the stone bed, and wobbled as it "flew" to Wang Long's shoulder.

It was more like jumping than flying; it took three attempts to succeed, leaving me breathless with exhaustion.

It perched on Wang Long's shoulder, nuzzled his cheek with its head, then tilted its head to look at Murong Qing, its dark, grape-like eyes filled with curiosity.

Murong Qing looked at it, and her heart melted.

"Uncle, what kind of spirit beast is it? It's so cute!"

Wang Long closed his eyes, sensing the information transmitted by the soul contract, and then suddenly opened them.

"Nine Heavens Mystic Bird!"

Murong Qing was stunned.

Black bird?

Ancient mythical beast, the Black Bird?

A legendary being that surpasses even the dragon and phoenix in fame?

"Chirp chirp!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Bird puffed out its little chest, looking proud, as if to say, "That's right, it's me."

Although it looks like just a fluffy little chick now, its innate noble temperament cannot be hidden.

It stood on Wang Long's shoulder, tilted its head, looked at Murong Qing, then at Wang Long, and suddenly opened its small mouth, spitting out a thin golden flame at the wall of the secret chamber.

boom!

The runes on the wall were instantly burned through, leaving a fist-sized black hole with smooth, mirror-like edges, still emitting heat.

Murong Qing gasped.

Born into this world, it can burn through the walls of a secret chamber covered in runes?

A ninth-grade spirit beast, terrifying indeed!

Wang Long reached out and touched the little head of the black bird, clearly adoring it.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Bird squinted its eyes, nuzzled his fingers with its head, and let out a satisfied cry.

Just then.

The little fairy floated out.

She stood with her hands on her hips, hovering in front of the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird.

They were about the same height, but their auras were completely different.

Xiao Xian'er squinted, looking up and down at the furry little thing on Wang Long's shoulder, her brows furrowed slightly, her little face full of vigilance.

"Master, what is this?"

Her voice was clear and crisp, yet carried a distinct hint of hostility.

She sensed it when it floated out from Wang Long's body.

An unfamiliar aura was settling on the owner's shoulder.

That was her spot.

From the day she was born, her master's shoulder was her exclusive territory.

Now it's been taken over by a newly hatched chick?

The Nine Heavens Mystic Bird also sensed Xiao Xian'er's gaze, stood up from Wang Long's shoulder, and tilted its head to look at her.

Its large, dark, grape-like eyes blinked, filled with the bewilderment and curiosity unique to newborn spirits.

"Chirp?"

It cried out, as if asking: Who are you?

Xiao Xian'er's face fell.

"I'm asking you a question, what are you?"

"Chirp chirp!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Bird puffed out its little chest and cried out twice, its voice several decibels louder than before, as if announcing its name.

Little Fairy couldn't understand bird language, but her spiritual perception told her that the little chick was showing off to her.

Little Fairy took a deep breath, her little fists clenched tightly.

"Get down here! Those are the master's shoulders, that's my place!"

Little Fairy pointed at the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird, raising her voice by an octave.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Bird tilted its head and glanced at her. Instead of landing, it moved closer to Wang Long's neck, pressed its whole body against his cheek, and rubbed its head against him.

"Chirp~"

The voice was soft and sweet, with a clear hint of coquetry and provocation.

Little Fairy completely lost her temper.

She swooped down from the sky, drawing an arc in the air, and reached out to grab the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird.

Although the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird had just been born, its reaction was astonishingly fast.

It flapped its short wings and jumped from Wang Long's left shoulder to his right shoulder, narrowly avoiding Xiao Xian'er's claws.

"You dare to hide?!"

Xiao Xian'er became even angrier and turned around to pounce on him again.

This time, the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird didn't dodge. It opened its small beak and spat out a thin golden flame at Xiao Xian'er.

Although the flame was small, the temperature was frighteningly high, and the air itself was distorted by the heat.

Xiao Xian'er dodged the flames with a swift movement, but a small corner of her silver-white skirt was scorched by the flames.

She looked down at the charred tear in her skirt and froze.

This dress was formed from her spiritual energy; it's an extension of her spirit. Burning it is equivalent to her being injured.

Although it was just a small gap that didn't bother her much, it was a matter of face.

"You...you dare burn my skirt?!"

Xiao Xian'er's voice was trembling.

She spread her arms, and nine silver-white sword energies shot out from her fingertips, transforming into nine miniature versions of the Heavenly Gang Swords in the air, their sword light flashing and their killing intent surging.

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know who's in charge!"

As the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird looked at the nine small swords, a hint of panic finally flashed in its dark, grape-like eyes.

It flapped its wings and jumped around on Wang Long's shoulder, dodging Xiao Xian'er's attacks.

A small sword grazed its downy feathers, shaving off a few golden feathers, which then drifted into the air.

"Chirp! Chirp chirp!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Bird cried out, its voice much more urgent than before, carrying a clear sense of grievance.

It flapped its wings and plunged headfirst into Wang Long's palm, burying its head between his fingers, its round little bottom sticking out, trembling.

Wang Long watched this scene with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

He reached out and grabbed Xiaoxian'er's wrist, gently pulling her down from the air.

"Little Fairy, stop hitting her."

"Master! It burned my skirt!"

Xiao Xian'er pointed to the charred hole in her skirt with a wronged expression, her eyes reddening.

"It's still a baby, just born, and doesn't know anything."

Wang Long sighed helplessly, took the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird out of his palm, and placed it in front of Xiao Xian'er.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Bird looked timidly at Little Fairy, its dark, grape-like eyes glistening with tears.

In fact, its strength is above Xiao Xian'er's; it just wasn't going all out.

"Chirp~"

The shout no longer contained the provocation from before, only grievance.

Looking at its pitiful appearance, Xiao Xian'er's anger inexplicably dissipated a bit.

But she didn't want to let it go like that.

She arrived first and was the master's first spirit. Why should this little chick ride on her head?

"No, we can't let this go today."

Xiao Xian'er crossed her arms over her chest and slightly raised her chin.

"It must acknowledge me as its boss, obey me obediently from now on, and not be allowed to take my shoulder."
