Chapter 494 - "To Shine Brightly"
When Bernadette mentioned the baby Phoenix, Ainsley couldn't help but smile brightly.
"Hum, hum! Where is ith?" The baby looked around the dim backstage but saw no such beast resembling a baby Phoenix.
There was still other guests backstage, but Ainsley didn't pay attention to them yet.
At Ainsley's question, Bern snapped his fingers, calling his personal disciple.
"Dalton, bring the baby Phoenix!"
Dalton, the flashy young man Ainsley met before, immediately came from outside to the backstage with something on his palm.
Since the backstage was dim, a slight light source from any item could easily attract everyone's attention.
It was the case with the thing on Dalton's palm. Even from afar, everyone could already see a pale blue glow surrounding something on Dalton's palm.
The thing was small...so no one could clearly see their appearance until Dalton stopped right in front of Ainsley and squatted.
"Here you go, milady. Please check the baby Phoenix." Dalton slowly opened his palm and revealed a tiny featherless bird, similar to a chick, was curling up like a baby.
It was sucking its own featherless wing as it snored quietly. However, the weird thing was, the chick's skin colour...was blue!
It was truly similar to Axelle's skin colour!
Ainsley was instantly dumbfounded.
Is this another smurf race? A smurf Phoenix? Really??
At first glance, one couldn't tell that the chick was actually a baby Phoenix. However, before Ainsley could ask her appraiser to check it, Zev already spoke in Ainsley's mind.
[Owaahhh, what a rare Phoenix. It's a mutation! A water Phoenix. No wonder it's worth so much money.]
[A...mutated beast? Water Phoenix?] Ainsley blinked. She had never heard of a Phoenix with water attributes. If it's an ice Phoenix, it's still logical…
But a water Phoenix? Isn't it just a chick drenched in seawater?
Ainsley was already skeptical of the water Phoenix because it truly looked as weak as a chick...and it had no feathers! It's even uglier than a chick!
Ah, chicks were actually cute. This one? Meh.
Maybe this was why the humans could catch the baby Phoenix...
Perhaps it's because the Phoenix mother abandoned it?
Zev, who also had a good appraisal skill but never used it for Ainsley if he didn't want to, continued to blabber things even when Ainsley didn't have too much expectation for the Phoenix.
[You see, a water Phoenix is a rare mutation. It can fly in the sky and also swim underwater...it's cool! A water Phoenix will also help us with any water crisis situation…]
Zev floated in the air and slowly dived toward the featherless baby Phoenix.
[This Phoenix is a female. She's thrown away by her own mother because of her weird mutation. But don't worry, she's definitely a good seedling. She's going to be a beautiful blue Phoenix and a powerful one too!]
When Ainsley heard that the Phoenix was indeed abandoned by its own mother, the baby suddenly felt something blocking her throat.
She carefully observed the sleeping chick while holding her breath.
Another abandoned child...isn't she similar to Axelle? Ugh...why am I always attracting pitiful creatures all around the world?
Ainsley suddenly suspected that because her father also abandoned her and fled, she had this natural magnet for attracting abandoned creatures…
That sounded possible.
While Ainsley was silently looking at the pitiful baby Phoenix, Zev didn't stop talking, flaunting his knowledge.
[Look, look, this baby Phoenix can be a sacred beast in just 3 years, human time. You only need to place her inside an upgraded dimensional bracelet…]
Zev paused before continuing.
[Feed her the wind-element grass you got from today's auction. Wind-element is still a match for this baby Phoenix, so it's okay. Give her the magic water from the magical jar as her drink too!]
Zev started to stretch his evil claw and poked the little chick with his ghost-like body.
[Heheheh, as for her snacks, energy crystals are okay. Keep feeding her water-element food too...like fish, or seafood...pearl…]
Zev was already busy explaining. He's clearly so eager to raise the Phoenix. If it's like this, they don't even need a trainer…
Ainsley had to glare at Zev to make the toddler spirit shut up.
[I know, I know, I get it. We will raise the baby Phoenix well! She's an abandoned baby...so I will surely groom her perfectly.]
Ainsley couldn't help but pity the Phoenix. In her mind, the Phoenix was so pitiful...just like her.
That's why...the Phoenix had to grow up well and face-slapped her mother who abandoned her!
She had to be prettier and stronger than her siblings. Hmph!
Ainsley showed her interest in the Phoenix, and that left Bernadette sighing in relief.
'Thank God, the Godtoddler wants to receive this weird creature...she is really as kind as the rumour. In her hand, the pitiful baby Phoenix will surely grow up well.'
Bern smiled from ear to ear as he squatted next to Dalton.
"How is it? Will you receive the baby Phoenix?"
"Hum, I will. Here you go, Gwandpa Beln, the Juvenile potion." Ainsley tossed the potion to Bernadette before carefully scooping the baby Phoenix from Dalton's palm.
The baby Phoenix was small, but in Ainsley's hand, it looked bigger until its wings almost fell from the baby's palm.
Despite that, the chick only hugged Ainsley's fingers with her wings while nudging her head to the baby's palm.
She's already comfortable with Ainsley!
That's a fast development that left Dalton and Bern speechless. The baby Phoenix was a fierce beast...why was it so docile in front of the baby?
Regardless of that, they could only watch as Ainsley named the baby Phoenix.
"Fwom now on...your nwame ish Blaze."
It means….
'To shine brightly.'
