Gungun squeaked angrily and leaped onto the black eagle, rubbing all the dust on its body. The two of them soon started playing happily.
Xia Muqing also smiled at the sight of them. With Gungunâs speed, it was impossible that it couldnât dodge the black eagle. She knew that it was doing it on purpose, and it was looking for an excuse to fool around with the black eagle.
She was relieved to see that the black eagle was as silly as before and didnât suffer from any pain due to its blindness.
The little phoenix flew out of Jiang Yifanâs arms and greeted Xia Muqing. âFlower!â
Xia Muqing was also in a daze when she heard this nickname. Back when she first came to this world, she spent all her time in the Sunset Mountains and she had met so many friends. It had been almost a year.
She couldnât help but feel sad.
Jiang Yifan replied, âThey wanted to look for you, so I brought them here. They wonât disturb you, right?â
Back when Xia Muqing left with the Xia family, she said that she had something to do.
Xia Muqing shook her head. âItâs okay. I was just about to have a feast with Gungun. You guys came at the right time.â
This sentence also explained what she had said earlier.
Jiang Yifan smiled. âYou guys are really close.â
He knew that Xia Muqing could understand what the beasts were saying. He looked at the little phoenix playing with the water in the pond and felt a little envious.
Xia Muqing followed his gaze and patted his shoulder. âIf you really like it, go after it.â
Jiang Yifan was stunned before he smiled bitterly. âThereâs too much difference between us.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xia Muqing didnât have the notion that different races couldnât love each other. She quipped straightforwardly, âSo what? Identity, race, age, doesnât matter, as long as you donât think itâs a problem.â
Jiang Yifan was startled. These words enlightened him.
The little phoenix chattered beside the pool. Although Jiang Yifan didnât understand what it was saying, after interacting with her for so long, they had developed a tacit understanding. Jiang Yifan said, âLetâs talk about this in the future. Iâll go first.â
The phoenix was calling for him.
Xia Muqing looked at his back and her heart felt heavy.
Ever since Jiang Yifanâs parents had been killed, he only behaved and looked a little like the young man he used to be, whenever he was with the little phoenix.
Under the urging of the black eagle and Gungun, Xia Muqing started roasting the fish and meat.
After a delicious meal, they sat on chairs, too full to move.
Jiang Yifan admired at the moon in the sky and asked, âDid Brother Jin Chao contact you?â
At the mention of Jin Chao, Xia Muqing couldnât help but recall how she had mistaken Ye Qingxuan for him many times today. She chuckled and shook her head. âI wonder where he is now.â
Jiang Yifan asked curiously, âThen arenât you anxious?â
Xia Muqing raised her eyebrows and said, âWhy should I be anxious? Heâs a man after all. Let him do what he wants. Itâs not my style to be suspicious of everything that he does.â
Jiang Yifan was stunned. This was the first time he had heard such valiant words. Even his mother hadnât been so carefree.
Xia Muqing rubbed his head and said, âMost things in this world donât go our way. We can only do our best.â
Jiang Yifanâs eyes reddened. Ever since he had found his parents and brotherâs corpses, he had never cried again.
He said with a hint of hoarseness, âI want revenge, but I donât even know who my enemy is.â
Xia Muqing didnât give him any reason not to take revenge. Instead, she said, âYes, we should take revenge. But before that, we have to improve our abilities first. When our enemies appear, we have to deal them a fatal blow.â
Jiang Yifan turned to look at Xia Muqing. The moonlight shone on her face, but what was even brighter were the stars in her eyes.. It seemed that she had always been so dazzling ever since he met her.
