Chapter 346: A New Name

The flying ship circled around Xiao Shou once. Then a palm sized little boy dressed in silver battle armor cautiously peeked his head out from the cabin.

"As long as I’m with Master, I’ll never feel bored no matter how long it is," the little boy said shyly. "But if I can carry Master through the sky... Baobei will feel like he’s truly useful."

"Haha! Then I’ll be counting on you in three days!" Xiao Shou laughed as he reached out and rubbed the little boy’s head.

Fu Young looked at the silver armored child, whose body shimmered with the unique radiance of a top grade spiritual treasure. Such artifact spirits were incredibly rare.

He silently thought, Forget it. Even if I immediately began forging, without enough materials I still wouldn’t be able to create a flying ship stronger than this in such a short time.

Still... Every time I want to do something for Master, he has already solved everything himself. Why do I never get the chance to be useful?

Meanwhile, the green haired little creature had been trying to speak the entire time, only to be interrupted again and again by the perfectly synchronized master and disciple.

It had originally wanted to ask whether the beautiful man also had one of its own kind by his side.

Otherwise, how could he have entered the Flower of Time’s internal space?

Then it reconsidered.

Perhaps it had merely been an unintelligent Flower of Time. Any Flower of Time without intelligence was simply food to it, so there was no point asking.

Thus, it swallowed its question.

But now, seeing that even the big silver fellow had a name, jealousy immediately filled its heart.

Its eyes turned red as it flew over to Fu Young and complained loudly. "Master! Master! Even that big guy has a name. Give me one too!"

"You want a name that badly?" Fu Young glanced at the little flower before replying casually, "Then I’ll call you Little Green."

Privately, however, he thought, Hmph. If this fellow weren’t so unbearably noisy, constantly talking and rambling until it annoyed everyone, I would have given it a proper name long ago.

The Flower of Time, now burdened with the name Little Green, stared at him in disbelief.

It pointed at itself with a trembling finger.

"I’m this adorable, powerful, unmatched, peerless, one of a kind spirit pet, and you gave me such a plain name? The guard dog on Eternal Divine Beast Peak is called Little Green too! I refuse to share a name with a dog! Waaaah..."

It immediately burst into tears or perhaps it was only pretending.

Having dealt with Yao Guang before, Xiao Shou was quite experienced with this sort of thing.

Still, remembering how Yao Guang had once complained about her own name, and recalling how helpless he had been at naming things back then, Xiao Shou could not help smiling with amusement.

He looked at his beloved disciple, curious to see how he would deal with his troublesome spirit pet.

However...

"You don’t like Little Green?" Fu Young smiled faintly after noticing the familiar mischievous expression on Xiao Shou’s face. "Then I’ll call you Yao Ming instead. If you keep complaining, I’ll give you the same name as that ugly toad on Eternal Divine Beast Peak. Which one do you prefer?"

The Flower of Time froze.

At last, after finally receiving a name, it wore an expression of grievance and humiliation, as though it had surrendered before overwhelming authority.

After a long pause, it nodded reluctantly. " Yao Ming it is... That’s still better than the other one."

...

Three days later, in the plaza before the Eternal Prosperity Palace, a massive silver flying ship rested quietly.

The disciples who had earned places in the competition boarded the enormous vessel under the envious gazes of everyone around them.

Damn it! If I’d known we could fly to Heaven Origin Mountain aboard with such an incredible flying ship, I would have fought with everything I had to win!

The disciples watching their fellow sect members board all felt bitter.

They silently made up their minds.

If another opportunity like this ever came, they would fight with everything they had.

It would not matter if their opponent was an old master, an old friend, or even a fellow disciple.

Even if it were their own parents, they would still give it their all.

They would never miss such a chance again.

Nearby, Gou Guangming who had been left behind to oversee the affairs of the sect wore an expression of complete despair.

He could not participate in the lively Heaven Origin Grand Competition.

He could not even ride aboard the magnificent flying ship.

Was there anything crueler in life than this?

He almost wanted to die.

At that moment, Yao Ming who was just about to fly onto the ship noticed Gou Guangming’s miserable expression. He immediately flew over and circled around him with a smug grin. His adorable little face was full of pride as he said, "What? Jealous? Envious? Ah, that’s just a matter of character. Only the world’s number one spirit pet, someone as innocent, adorable, and incomparably handsome as me, can enjoy such a perfect life without a single regret."

I really want to beat him to death.

Unfortunately, he was the spirit pet of the Fu Young.

Gou Guangming did not dare lay a finger on him.

At that moment, he felt as though the entire universe had turned against him, yet he was powerless to resist.

His face became even more hopeless.

Could life possibly get any more miserable than this?

"You want to go too, Guangming?" Hearing Yao Ming’s infuriating remarks, Xiao Shou casually asked the question.

The moment he turned his head and saw Gou Guangming’s expression of utter devastation, he awkwardly rubbed his nose.

He suddenly felt a little guilty on behalf of his disciple’s spirit pet.

How on earth did I create a Flower of Time with such a bizarre personality?

After Yaoyao advances, she won’t become like this too... right?
