Awake

That little thing was acting like a proud brat.

Qin Yi wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. She stroked Xiao Lan's upright feathers and said, "Alright, eat if you want to."

Qin Yi would always have a little extra patience with Xiao Lan, perhaps because their souls were a good match. She knew that Xiao Lan wouldn't betray her, so she showed more trust and sincerity.

Xiao Lan was stunned, for it thought that it would get scolded by Qin Yi. After all, that crystal core was beneficial to her too.

It seemed like other than Master, nobody had treated it so well.

This made Xiao Lan's uneasy heart gradually calm down.

The feathers on Xiao Lan's head danced in the wind and said somewhat bashfully, "Seeing that you're quite nice to this king, I shall treat you as my owner, then."

Phoenixes are very proud and they wouldn't recognize just anyone as their master. But once they do, they follow that person for life. Even after their master dies, they would not find another one.

It was extremely difficult for a phoenix to recognize someone as their master. Little Ice Phoenix was still very young, and even though it had memories of its heritage, it was still inexperienced. Hence, it was very easily bought over by Qin Yi with just a small crystal core. 

Qin Yi raised her brows. Should she kneel down and thank it for the favor?

In the cozy bedroom, Yun Huan sat on the sofa and looked at Du Ruan and Chu Mohe, who were still in a coma on the bed.

Lin Qing checked on Du Ruan and Chu Mohe's wounds, and when he saw that there wasn't further deterioration, his tensed heart finally relaxed.

Lin Qing heaved a sigh of relief in his heart then pondered about what happened today with Qin Yi.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what are you thinking? Why did you let Qin Yi join us just like that?"

Lin Bai glanced at Lin Qing and said with disagreement, "Big brother, I think Yiyi is great."

Lin Bai spoke from the bottom of his heart. He had a great first impression of Qin Yi, and one must know that there weren't many people who could give them a good first impression.

Lin Bai pursed his rosy lips. Qin Yi was the same type of person as them.

Lin Qing rolled his eyes at his younger brother. "I didn't say that Qin Yi isn't great."

His younger brother was too quick in siding with outsiders, just like a tornado.

Actually, Lin Qing had a great first impression of Qin Yi as well. He wasn't opposed to Qin Yi joining their family, but he simply wanted to know what his boss was thinking.

With that though, Lin Qing went closer. "Boss, what were you thinking exactly?"

Yun Huan glanced at Lin Qing plainly, and Lin Qing's words got stuck in his throat.

"Nothing much, just that he knows how to cook."

The moment Yun Huan said that, Lin Qing revealed a look that said, 'It was indeed the case.'

That was why he said he knew his boss best. This person really fancied Qin Yi's cooking, so he was clearly just looking for a chef.

Lin Qing looked at Chu Mohe, who was still unconscious, and said with a slight headache, "Third Brother would have something to fuss about right now."

Lin Bai didn't take it seriously and laughed. "Yiyi is awesome, Chu He will like her."

Lin Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Hopefully."

Qin Yi was right, Du Ruan and Chu Mohe woke up by midnight.

When Lin Qing saw that both of them were awake, he quickly went forward to help them up.

Du Ruan stared at Lin Qing for a very long time before he said, "Fox, why are you dead too?"

Seeing the bleary look on Du Ruan's face, Lin Qing controlled his surge of power and didn't give Du Ruan a punch, as he had just woken up.

Lin Qing glared at Du Ruan. "I'm still alive and well. You're alive too."
