"Hmm."
The French Plane Tree grunted in response.
"Why?"
"Because I can't turn into a Phoenix. Do you even have to ask, idiotic human?"
The French Plane Tree said discontentedly.
"Didn't I say that Niu Ma could act as your protector?"
Liu Zheng said.
"I don't trust that guy. Besides, it might not be able to protect me anyway."
"Niu Ma isn't enough?"
He frowned.
Although Niu Ma often faced setbacks, it was because its opponents were too strong.
Moreover, it always managed to come back alive.
Having escaped unscathed from the hands of Peacock, Si Xue's rival, was proof enough of its worth as an "excellent employee."
What? You say its skin was peeled off?
Niu Ma's skin is merely an accessory; people who have never been Niu Ma wouldn't understand.
"Not enough. Besides, if I turned into a Phoenix Egg, the first to come knocking would be your restaurant,"
the French Plane Tree shook its head and said.
"Why?"
