They had originally planned to rest for the night before setting off, but they realized that the people from the divine palace of the City of 10,000 Beasts had caught up.
There was no way to rest now. Xue Ling carried Huanhuan into the sky, followed by Xue Hui. Bai Di and Xuan Wei transformed into white tigers and ran below.
Huanhuan stuck her head out of Xue Lingâs arms and looked back. She saw many beasts following behind her on the ground and in the sky. Their figures joined together in the night and attacked like waves.
Xue Ling pressed her head back. âThe wind is strong. Hide.â
âOkay.â
Huanhuan obediently shrank back and hid in his arms.
They traveled all night without stopping to rest.
Their pursuers were gradually left behind.
Xue Hui said, âWe still have to pass through the territory of several tribes from here to Divine Wood City. Letâs try to hide and not let anyone see us, lest we get into trouble.â
Bai Di, Xue Ling, and Xuan Wei expressed that they understood. As for Huanhuan, she fell asleep again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although the wound on her wrist had healed, the blood she had lost would not recover anytime soon. She still looked pale and sickly.
She slept and rested most of the day.
They remembered Xue Huiâs instructions and carefully hid their identities as they made their journey. Occasionally, they would encounter one or two small problems, but they would immediately resolve them.
They stopped here and there. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Every time Huanhuan woke up, she realized that her surroundings had changed again.
The most obvious change was that the vegetation on the ground was becoming lusher. As far as the eye could see, large forests stretched endlessly until seemingly the end of the world.
Her complexion gradually improved, and she finally recovered.
Huanhuan looked around excitedly.
She felt as if she were traveling in a helicopter. Not only could she experience the thrill of flying at high altitudes, but she could also take in the beauty of the world.
It felt great!
However, after flying for nearly a month, Huanhuanâs excitement gradually disappeared.
No matter how beautiful the scenery was, one would get tired of looking at it after a month.
Huanhuan began to look for something else to play with. She stared at the big wings behind Xue Ling.
His huge red wings flapped up and down, and his feathers fluttered in the wind. His posture was very beautiful.
Unable to resist, she reached over Xue Lingâs shoulder and touched his wings.
Unexpectedly, Xue Ling froze when she touched him. He even forgot to flap his wings. The two of them fell straight down. It looked like a crash was about to happen!
She was so frightened that she cried out, âAh!â
Xue Ling immediately came back to his senses. He flapped his wings and they stopped falling.
Xue Hui flew over. âWhat happened?â
A rare look of resignation appeared on Xue Lingâs face. âShe touched my wings just now.â
Hearing this, Xue Hui immediately understood what he meant. She covered her mouth and chuckled. âIf she likes to touch them, let her.â
Xue Ling ignored her teasing and continued flying forward with Huanhuan in his arms.
Bai Diâs voice came from below. âI just heard Huanhuan cry out. Huanhuan, are you okay?â
Huanhuan responded, âWeâre fine.â
The small incident was over.
Huanhuan didnât dare to touch Xue Lingâs wings this time, but her eyes still involuntarily drifted to his wings.
Although it was just a touch, it felt really good. She really wanted to touch them again~
Xue Ling noticed her gaze and said helplessly, âI canât let you touch me in the sky. Something will happen. Be good~â
Huanhuan was very curious. âWhy did you react so strongly when I just touched you?â
Wings were the most sensitive part of a feathered beast. Any touch or kiss would cause a very strong reaction. Even Xue Ling couldnât avoid this.
Xue Ling said meaningfully, âIn the future when you mate with me, Iâll let you touch me all you want.â
Huanhuan blushed. âWhy did you suddenly mention mating?â
âAmong the birds, touching and kissing the wings of the opposite sex is like asking for sex.â
Huanhuanâs eyes widened. âReally?â
Xue Ling smiled maliciously. âActually, I donât mind having sex with you in the sky. As long as you can accept it, I can mate with you anytime.â
âD-Donât mess around!â
Seeing her stuttering in fear, Xue Ling couldnât help but chuckle. âYou can even take a joke. Youâre really cute!â
Huanhuan immediately understood that she had been tricked. She was so angry that she waved her fists and punched his chest.
After traveling for more than a month, they finally arrived at the territory of Divine Wood City.
Xue Ling landed on the ground and slowly looked up at the dense forest in front of him. He was very curious. âIs Divine Wood City here?â
âYes.â Xue Hui led the way into the forest. âThis forest is the guardian area of the divine tree. After entering this forest, you canât transform into your beast form or use the power of your beast souls again. No beast can fly in the sky either.â
That was why she dared to say that as long as they reached the Divine Wood City, the pursuers from the City of 10,000 Beastâs palace would not be able to enter.
This forest was the natural wall of the Divine Wood City. No one could cross it.
Xue Ling carried Huanhuan and walked in behind her. Bai Di followed closely behind, and Xuan Wei was the last.
Huanhuan couldnât help but sigh when she heard Xue Huiâs explanation. âIt sounds so magical!â
Xue Hui turned and smiled at her. âThere are many other magical things in Divine Wood City. Iâm sure youâll like this place.â
Tall, lush trees joined together, almost covering the sky. The deeper they went, the less sunlight they saw. But miraculously, the light didnât feel dim at all.
This was because there was a kind of glowing mushroom in the forest. This mushroom grew in every corner of the forest. The mushroom caps of various sizes emitted a faint blue light. They were like small light bulbs that lit up the entire forest.
Xue Hui explained, âThese are Moonlight Mushrooms. Theyâre unique to our Divine Wood City. Arenât they beautiful?â
Huanhuan put her down. She squatted down and gently touched a Moonlight Mushroom with her fingers.
The Moonlight Mushroom swayed twice. Some small blue spores flew out of it and circled around Huanhuan.
Huanhuan widened her eyes and looked at the dreamlike scenery in front of her as if she was watching a special effects movie.
She held out her palm, and the spores landed lightly on it.
Xue Hui smiled and said, âThese spores are a gift from the Moonlight Mushroom. It seems that it likes you very much.â
