Chapter 376: Giving the Gift to Her
The phoenix did not answer the great peng and remained silent. The great peng did not find this offensive, so he did not press further and continued to wait in silence.
"I don’t know," the phoenix’s voice finally broke the silence.
The great peng glanced in the phoenix’s direction before turning his gaze back to the city.
"I also... do not know... who I am," he said.
Another silence followed before the great peng spoke again.
"Then... what are we?" he asked.
Hearing his question, the phoenix seemed to ponder. But then, she recalled the golden energy Aldrian had shown her—the energy that made her body and soul instinctively obey and worship him. She did not know why she reacted that way, but she followed her instincts and submitted before Aldrian.
"What do you... think... of Master?" She did not answer his question but asked him instead.
The great peng remained silent for a moment before answering.
"He is... Master... the absolute one," he blurted out without much thought. He simply spoke whatever came to his mind, and to him, that was the undeniable truth.
The phoenix’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at the great peng.
