Honghong paused in the middle of swallowing another beast core. Her tiny head slowly lifted, and her golden eyes narrowed suspiciously at Xue Yao. "Master, when you say serve more purpose, why do I feel like you are not talking about fighting?"
Xue Yao blinked innocently. "What else would I be talking about?"
Honghong stared at her for a long moment before lowering her gaze to her own small body. A chill ran across her feathers. "You are thinking about eating me again, aren't you?"
"Nonsense." Xue Yao immediately denied it with a righteous expression. "How could you suspect your beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle master like that? I was only thinking that if you grow stronger, you can help me beat up those wolves later."
