Chapter 436: Flattery to the Extreme

Because the other creature was so close to his master, Fei Yi had to stop and glare at it with his wolfish eyes while warning his master, “Master, please don’t be deceived by its appearance. This little guy is full of tricks and schemes.” “Not at all!” The Crimson Blaze Tiger said in a childish tone, “The moment 1 saw my master, 1 was awestruck. Master, you must be the most beautiful woman in the world. All those so-called world’s most beautiful women pale in comparison to you. They’re not even worthy to carry your shoes!”
Flattery to the extreme.
Although the Crimson Blaze Tiger was a dominant force in the Death Mountain Range, it understood many principles about the human race.
For the sake of its own life, what did a little bit of flattery matter? It could toss away its dignity if needed.
Before, when it had simply said, “Most beautiful and powerful,” to describe Gu Qingluan in just four words, Fei Yi immediately felt inferior. But what annoyed him even more was the Crimson Blaze Tiger’s gift of gab.
This was one of the things Fei Yi hated most about the Crimson Blaze Tiger. Not only did it enjoy playing tricks, but its silver tongue was even smoother than his, leaving Fei Yi often speechless.
Seeing the Crimson Blaze Tiger use these skills on Gu Qingluan now, Fei Yi was both angry and worried.
Unlike the Crimson Blaze Tiger, he wasn’t as skilled at speaking. Would his master be deceived by it?
The fear of losing favor with his master suddenly surged within him.
He quickly said, “Master, it has used this line on at least a hundred women before! Please don’t believe it!”
“Master, I speak from the depths of my heart,” the Crimson Blaze Tiger gently rubbed against Gu Qingluan’s leg with its tail and cooed. “In my eyes, you are the most beautiful G.o.ddess. When you appear, even the darkest night becomes a little brighter.”
Fei Yi glared at it and exclaimed, “Smooth-talker!”
“What do you mean? Don’t you think our master is the most beautiful?” The Crimson Blaze Tiger narrowed its eyes and asked maliciously.
He tried to shift the blame to Fei Yi.
Fei Yi was almost driven to madness by it. He retorted angrily, “Don’t you try to shift the blame to me! If you keep spouting nonsense, do you believe I’ll turn you into a pile of ashes?”
“Your expression seems to suggest you don’t find her beautiful,” the Crimson Blaze Tiger said coolly.
Fei Yi became agitated, “Which part of me looks that way? Say one more word, and I’ll squash you into mud!”
“That’s enough!”
Seeing the two saint beasts bickering like three-year-old children, Gu Qingluan helplessly interrupted them.
The two of them obediently closed their mouths and looked at her in unison.
Gu Qingluan said in a soft tone to the Crimson Blaze Tiger, “If your tail continues to wag recklessly, I’ll cut it off.”
Thinking it had successfully acted cute, the Crimson Blaze Tiger froze for a moment, and a hint of guilt flashed in its eyes.
It quietly retracted its tail and took a couple of steps to the side, positioning itself where it wouldn’t touch her but also couldn’t avoid Fei Yi’s attacks.
Fei Yi, on the other hand, felt elated when he sensed his master’s indifference. He lowered his head, bared his teeth at the Crimson Blaze Tiger, and wore a smug and mocking expression on his face.
The Crimson Blaze Tiger glared at it with a fierce look, but that didn’t dampen Fei Yi’s good mood.
Until the next moment, when it heard Gu Qingluan’s words
“Do you truly recognize me as your master?”
Fei Yi immediately widened his eyes. “Master, are you considering forming a contract with it?”
Gu Qingluan glanced at him. “Aren’t you two on good terms?”
Despite their bickering, it was clear that they had been bickering for many years and had developed a certain level of understanding.
Moreover, although the two saint beasts argued fiercely, they didn’t have a deep-seated hatred for each other; they were more like frenemies.
“Absolutely not!” Fei Yi quickly refuted. In which world did his master see them as being on good terms?
However, he didn’t dare to say this out loud.
In contrast, the Crimson Blaze Tiger nodded excitedly and said, “Of course! The moment I saw you, 1, Lie Yan, understood that I’m bound to you for the rest of my life, my master..”
