"Chirp, chirp!!"
Fat Bird, although already a fifth-rank, had not yet refined its horizontal bones, so it was only squawking at the White Ape, unleashing a fierce tirade.
Judging by its faint blue feathers standing erect on its wings, and its neck swelling and turning red, the words it screeched out must have been quite unpleasant.
The White Ape grabbed Fat Bird's neck with one hand and then fiercely scratched its plump belly.
"Little Fat Bird, I was just joking with you. I didn't expect you to have already become a five-rank Spirit Beast. It seems Master has treated you quite generously over the years."
Upon hearing this, Fat Bird calmed down.
The Cloud Leopard nearby showed no reaction, its green eyes glancing at the White Ape before it headed straight for the depths of the cave abode.
However, the two tufts of grey-white fur on its ears had already formed a heart-shaped pattern, indicating it was in quite a pleasant mood.
