Chapter 108: The Golden Phoenix, Monarch of the Divine Phoenixes!

Such small details warmed the heart of the bold and spirited Baili Tianchang.

Compared to Baili Tianchang’s comfortable sleep, the woman who had watched Nalan Diji and Baili Tianchang throughout the entire night felt as though her whole body were being sliced by knives; she was in agony. She was on the verge of an outburst! Her patience was nearly exhausted.

Baili Tianchang and Nalan Diji finished the lemongrass-roasted chicken, which was still at the perfect temperature, and then Nalan Diji took her hand, and they continued on their journey.

It was hard to tell whether it was Nalan Diji’s luck or Baili Tianchang’s that was so extraordinary that day. The two of them actually stumbled upon the Phoenix Clan! Before they even reached the territory of the Phoenix Clan, they encountered a Divine Phoenix that had emerged from its domain.

Nalan Diji stopped and signaled for silence, then pointed toward a golden phoenix for Baili Tianchang to see. Upon catching sight of the creature—from its high-arched neck down to its proudly erect tail—Baili Tianchang was overwhelmed with shock. She had already studied the Divine Dragons and Divine Phoenixes in the *Compendium of All Things*. Among the Divine Phoenixes, there were several varieties: colorful, black, white, and others, but the highest in rank and the most noble of all was undoubtedly the Golden Phoenix!

Heaven only knew whose luck was peaking that day to allow them to encounter a Golden Phoenix! The most noble of all the Divine Phoenixes!

"This is truly an eye-opener," Baili Tianchang whispered to Nalan Diji. "But you aren’t thinking of having me subdue it as my beast companion, are you?"

It wasn't that she lacked confidence in herself, but this Golden Phoenix was clearly an adult. Its cultivation level was unfathomable. It was a supreme being among beasts—a master of masters. How could she possibly subdue such a creature?

"It is already an adult, and its nature is likely too proud for an ordinary person to tame. But it does not matter. We shall wait patiently. Perhaps it has offspring?" Nalan Diji smiled, clearly in a fantastic mood. He had not expected to encounter a Divine Phoenix. Very well, he would simply subdue one for his little fairy to have as a beast companion.

The Golden Phoenix strolled through the forest as if no one were around, and Baili Tianchang stared at it, unable to look away. This was a true eye-opener; it was her first time seeing a phoenix that shimmered with such brilliant golden light from head to toe.

Suddenly, a tiny head poked out from beneath the Golden Phoenix’s wing. It scouted the area, and apparently satisfied that there was no danger, it scurried out from under the wing. It was a little Golden Phoenix! The fledgling trotted along, imitating the larger one, head held high and chest puffed out, looking at everything with the arrogance of a noble king inspecting his realm.

The little phoenix was truly adorable! Baili Tianchang felt an instant affection for it. However, with the large phoenix there to protect it, subduing the little one would be no easy task.

Nalan Diji saw at a glance the affection Baili Tianchang held for the little phoenix. It seemed that destiny truly arrived when it was meant to. This was the bond between Baili Tianchang and the little phoenix.
