"Generally, spirit beasts wouldn't dare to easily gaze upon Divine Beasts, even if the Divine Beasts have concealed their oppressive aura. It seems to be a natural hierarchy among the species. However, your Eggshell Chicken seems to completely ignore this rule."
Hearing Meng Binglan's words, Qi Chen and the others looked at their own spirit beasts and realized that their gazes, indeed, never lingered on the White Wolf Deity or the Fire Vermilion Bird, as Meng Binglan had said. Yet, Xiao Ji sat grandly on Feng Yuan's head, posing at the Fire Vermilion Bird. Feng Yuan, seeing Meng Binglan's somewhat 'malevolent' gaze, protested loudly in dissatisfaction,
"I won't let you study Xiao Ji!"
"Oh? You can actually guess my intentions?"
"Nonsense! If I couldn't guess it from the way you're practically dissecting Xiao Ji with your eyes, then I'd be the one seeing ghosts!"
