Chapter 1485

He called it Su Yang, so Su Yang could still tell it apart from his other beast companions.

He always kept a measure of vigilance against the Nirvana Phoenix.

"Fine, then I'll call you Su Yang!"

The Nirvana Phoenix gladly agreed with Su Yang's reasoning.

Perhaps even it felt a bit awkward calling him "Master."

"Then now, let's head back!"

"Back to your place?"

"Yes!"

"Let's go!"

Su Yang recalled all his beast companions into the Beast-Taming Space, including the Void Spirit.

"Why aren't we going?"

The Nirvana Phoenix looked at Su Yang, who had stayed in place, somewhat puzzled.

Su Yang rubbed his hands together, grinning sheepishly, a little embarrassed as he said: "Just now, fighting that bitter battle against the Myriad-Whisker Black Nightmare, not only me but all my beast companions suffered heavy injuries. My space-type beast companion, because of your interference with space earlier, got backlash from its skill, so... cough, cough!"

"You want to ride me?"

The Nirvana Phoenix pointed at itself in astonishment.

"No!" Su Yang hurriedly shook his head, "I just want you to fly me back!"

Is there a difference?

The Nirvana Phoenix was nearly driven to exasperated laughter by Su Yang.

"Look, you're my beast companion, right? Isn't that so?"

Su Yang's heart was full of expectations.

Back then, the very first time he laid eyes on the Nirvana Phoenix, he had been captivated by its beautiful appearance and terrifying aura, and dreamed right then of riding it to try.

Now, he finally had his chance!

Of course he had to give it a try!

With a loyalty of 30, who knew when it might betray him one day.

The two sides had just signed the contract now; if he didn't find a chance to sit on it, who knew how long he'd have to wait next time!

The Nirvana Phoenix gave Su Yang a look, waved its hand, and a massive Nirvana Phoenix appeared...

This Nirvana Phoenix was much smaller than its main body, but it still looked extremely majestic.

A flame avatar?

Su Yang instantly thought of that skill of the Nirvana Phoenix's.

"Get on!"

Su Yang hesitated: "Will it burn my feet?"

"It'll burn your butt too! Are you getting on or not?"

"On! Why wouldn't I?"

Su Yang followed the Nirvana Phoenix and leapt onto the phoenix avatar. Approaching the flame phoenix, he discovered the flame phoenix had no temperature at all, so he boldly and confidently stepped onto it.

He touched those flames — warm, a little like early spring sunlight, and quite pleasant to the touch.

"How amazing!"

The Nirvana Phoenix explained: "I've gathered all the flame's energy inward!"

"Exquisite control!"

"Of course!" the Nirvana Phoenix said proudly. "If I didn't gather the energy, everywhere I flew would be scorched earth for ten thousand miles; if I flew just a little lower, I could melt the ground..."

Su Yang patted the flame phoenix beneath his feet.

Being able to ride the Nirvana Phoenix's avatar wasn't bad either.

But sooner or later, there would come a day when he rode the Nirvana Phoenix's true body.

"Which direction?"

"Southeast, Qinghucheng. I'll point the way!"

"Alright!"

The phoenix avatar rose high into the air. Not long after takeoff, Su Yang suddenly thought of his little adjutant — he'd almost forgotten him!

Xia Na leapt onto the phoenix avatar, curiously eyeing the beautiful phoenix in human form, her heart souring a little: "General Su, who is she?"

"This is our new companion!"

Xia Na's eyes went wide as she asked: "A beast companion?"

Su Yang nodded: "You could say that!"

"Wow~ what rank? So pretty!"

"Divine rank. You should have seen it earlier!"

"I saw it earlier? You mean that... phoenix?"

"Yes!"

"Ah... a phoenix?"

Xia Na was completely dumbfounded.

While waiting for Su Yang earlier, she had indeed seen a massive flaming giant bird fly across the sky.

At the time she'd worried about Su Yang, worried about his battle with the Beast God, worried that the divine beast resembling a phoenix might affect Su Yang.

After seeing Su Yang return safely, she hadn't connected the beautiful woman before her with that divine beast resembling a phoenix.

She'd only assumed Su Yang had somehow coaxed some pretty woman to come along...
