Godly Empress Doctor

Chapter 1698: Face-slapping, Round 5 (8)

The horse lowered its head, looking dejected. It then mumbled, “I’m not a spiritual beast.”

Little Phoenix rolled its eyes at the horse. “You dummy!”

The horse said, “Just because you’re one doesn’t mean you can insult me!”

Little Phoenix said, “You’re the biggest dummy ever!”

The horse said, “You —”

Feng Wu rubbed her forehead and wondered why the two of them wouldn’t stop fighting. What was their problem?

Feng Wu smiled wryly. “You may not be a spiritual beast yet, but you won’t stay this way forever.”

The horse didn’t quite understand her meaning.

It tilted its head and gave it some thought. It wouldn’t stay this way forever… That was to say, it might have a chance to become a spiritual beast one day.

“How’s that possible?!” It stopped and stared at Feng Wu in wonder. “That’s never going to happen!”

Feng Wu said, “Really? Why?”

The horse stared at Feng Wu with angry eyes. “I know you want to tame me and bond with me, but you can’t do it through deception! I thought for a while that you were a good person, but you’re a liar! Hmph!”

Before Feng Wu could speak, Little Phoenix flared up.

It stared at the horse, so mad that it wanted to hit it. “What’s your problem? When did Xiao Wu lie to you? How is she a liar? Explain yourself, or I’m going to slap you!”

The horse snorted. “When did she lie to me? Everybody knows that a magical beast’s talent is determined at birth! The bloodline can’t change! I’ve been a holy beast since I was born, so how can I become a spiritual beast one day? Hmph! If you want to lie to me, at least use a better excuse! You’re just trying to fool me! I thought you were different from my previous owner, but you’re just the same! She used to lie to me like that as well!”

Feng Wu finally knew why the horse suddenly lost its temper; it had been lied to, betrayed, and abandoned by Zuo Qingluan before. That was why it had such a reaction.

Little Phoenix didn’t know about the horse’s story, so it asked Feng Wu, “Who was his previous master?”

Feng Wu said, “Zuo Qingluan.”

“Wow!” Little Phoenix cried out and said in disbelief, “What a coincidence!”

Feng Wu smiled wryly, “Yes, what a coincidence.”

Little Phoenix glared at the horse. “It makes sense if your former master was Zuo Qingluan, because she’s a bad person! She’s been vile and ruthless since she was little, so it’s only natural that she lied to you! How could you have followed her? Gosh, you have my sympathy.”

Those words were like little daggers stabbing into the horse’s chest.

The horse was frustrated, but it couldn’t hit the flying bird, so it could only run as fast as it could like a streak of lightning.

Feng Wu had to grip the reins to keep herself on the horse’s back.

She cast a stern look at Little Phoenix. “You shouldn’t have humiliated it like that!”

The bird covered its beak and nodded.

Somehow, that only made the horse angrier.

Little Phoenix said, “But if I don’t say that, it’ll never move on. With its disposition, it’ll frustrate itself to death.”

Feng Wu said, “You do know it can hear you, right?”
