Capítulo 130: The Dawn of Winter

"And...we're back," I said triumphantly as I safely returned to the real world, along with a new pet. Technically, I was in the real world all along, I just 'shut off' the video game being played inside my head.

Mei Gui was a bit startled at the sudden appearance of the phoenix, perched on top of my shoulder (in its small form), but quickly recomposed herself. "Master, if I am not wrong, it seems you have successfully formed a contract with a beast."

I nodded, and sat down on my bed. "A quite powerful one too, at that."

Mei Gui tilted her head. "Oh? I cannot say I feel an exceptionally strong aura being emitted by this tiny...bird."

Why did you hesitate before calling her a bird, Mei Gui? Were you about to address her using a derogatory term? I doubt that would end well, considering the easily-angered nature of the phoenix - who, in terms of mental age, was akin to that of a three-year-old baby.
