Vermilion Bird grinned.
Little bastard?
If it were when he had just entered the room, this kind of address would have been enough to infuriate Xuanwu.
But after being humiliated by Vermilion Bird again and again.
Just a name for him is not painful, nor itchy.
On the contrary.
After learning about the life-saving effects of the Fire Seed.
The humiliation in his heart of entrusting his life to Vermilion Bird surprisingly decreased a bit.
Xuanwu didn't notice the subtle changes.
He just suddenly felt that swallowing the Fire Seed didn't seem so difficult to accept.
"Thank you, Senior Vermilion Bird."
"Senior?"
"Thank... Vermilion Bird Sir."
Xuanwu bowed his head deeply, seeming completely submissive to Vermilion Bird.
"Alright, go find the person who took your authority."
"I can help you buy two days' time from the Sect Master and White Tiger."
"You better...hurry up."
Upon hearing this,
Xuanwu's face lit up in joy.
