Chapter 1488: Husband! I have a favor to ask of you!

Phoenix couldn't help but quip, "Now I'm starting to suspect that the Ten-Thousand-Whisker Black Nightmare wasn't killed by you, but was so angered by you that it died!"

Truth be told, Su Yang also suspected that the Ten-Thousand-Whisker Black Nightmare might have been so enraged by him at the end that it lost its composure.

Of course, even if Su Yang thought that, he couldn't actually say it.

"What I rely on is real strength!"

"Hmph!"

Phoenix turned its face away, unwilling to continue talking with Su Yang.

Seeing Phoenix's reaction, Su Yang chuckled to himself.

Clearly, this Phoenix must have some favor to ask of him, or had no other choice, which was why it chose to become his spirit beast.

Otherwise, it would definitely have given Su Yang a hard time, or turned hostile on the spot.

As for the exact reason, Su Yang couldn't guess.

But knowing this piece of information was enough — he could gently probe this Phoenix's bottom line.

Besides, he still needed to find a way to squeeze every last bit of value out of this Phoenix.

Even if Phoenix left in the future, Su Yang would still get his money's worth.

"Xia Na, pour Phoenix a cup of tea. I'm going to pay Marshal Xu a visit."

Leaving the office, Su Yang knocked on a door and saw Marshal Xu.

Marshal Xu had matters at hand, but upon seeing Su Yang, he set them aside immediately.

"How are things on the northwest side?"

"Pretty much wrapped up — only some cleanup work left!"

"Wrapped up?"

Marshal Xu seemed a bit unable to grasp the meaning of those words.

"The experts of the Shoushen Sect have been killed off by me, pretty much to a man. Even that Beast God was slain. The remaining members of the Shoushen Sect, General Yu and the others should be able to clean up on their own!"

Chasing down those remaining Shoushen Sect members was extremely cost-inefficient for Su Yang.

Going after some gold-rank, or even lower-rank, Shoushen Sect members would be a pure waste of time. General Yu Chenghai and the others handling it should be a breeze.

"Really?"
