"Oh, it can even speak human language!"
Zhao Yi's eyes lit up, and he said to the protagonist, "This little thing is rather interesting. I'd like to keep it for myself to play with. How about I exchange another protector for you? What do you think about the Taotie I captured?"
Little thing?
The protagonist glanced up at the Golden Peacock, which was almost as tall as a small mountain, and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Only someone as abnormal as Zhao Yi would call such a massive creature a little thing, right?
With this thought, the protagonist decisively shook his head.
"No way, I want this peacock!"
The protagonist said righteously, "A promise is like spilled water; the Crown Prince of Great Xia reneging on his words—aren't you afraid of being laughed at when this gets out?"
As the protagonist finished speaking, he continued to grumble silently in his heart.
It's not like he didn't know the origins of the Taotie under Zhao Yi's command.
