Xiaohei’s arrival also eased everyone’s sadness over Xiaobai’s departure.
When Yang Ruxin finished introducing him and asked everyone to greet Xiaohei, Xiaofeng actually came over and hugged Xiaohei tight, even though he wasn’t as tall as Xiaohei.
Xiaohei felt quite horrified; he was a male, after all. Couldn’t they switch to a pretty girl to embrace him instead? Those little girls over there looked quite cute... Too bad Xiaofeng couldn’t understand his heart’s speech.
"Ruxin, this... this is a Hai Dongqing, right?" Zhou Xiao had been staring at Xiaohei from the start, and finally, her eyes lit up.
"You recognize it?"
"My dad used to tell me about eagles. He also had one, although not a Hai Dongqing, it was still very pretty and formidable..." Zhou Xiao nodded, "But my dad said that among ten thousand Divine Eagles, there might be one Hai Dongqing... they’re truly a rare find..."
Xiaohei suddenly became haughty. This kid did have good taste. He, Lord Eagle, was certainly one in ten thousand.
Xiaolun expressed disdain. So formidable and still got injured? Stop embarrassing yourself, he, Great King Xiaolun, was an Ancient Divine Beast after all. Although he hadn’t reached his peak speed yet, nothing much could harm him, and in at most another half-year, his speed and abilities would reach their peak. By then, nothing would be able to harm him.
Xiaohei glared at Xiaolun... just as he prepared to retort, he was embraced yet again, but this time it was indeed by a little girl. However, none of the little girls were as tall as him. Embrace all you want, just don’t pluck his feathers... help...
So, a large black eagle ran ahead while the little girls giggled and chased behind him.
Xiaolun declared them too childish and decided to go to sleep.
Watching the joyful scene in the courtyard, Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth. It seemed there was not a single person in her family who was afraid of the animals she brought home, except... for Xun Hui, of course.
Glancing at the person peeking from inside the house, not daring to come out, Yang Ruxin could only express her helplessness.
"Xinxin." Gu Qingheng waited until everyone was busy with Xiaohei before he approached Yang Ruxin, "Are you injured?" He had smelled blood, and the scent was unmistakably human.
"No." Yang Ruxin shook her head, "I just saved someone and brought him back..." Then she told Gu Qingheng everything without hiding any details.
"Is he more handsome than me?" Gu Qingheng asked after a moment of silence.
Yang Ruxin blinked and then suddenly realized he was jealous. She couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you actually jealous?"
"You were complimenting another man’s looks..." Gu Qingheng pouted.
"Haha..." Yang Ruxin inexplicably felt her mood lift considerably, "Little Hengzi, to me, although he might be handsome, he can’t compare to you because he’s not my type..."
Gu Qingheng immediately smiled.
Yang Ruxin woke up quite early; she was a bit worried about the person in the old house. Dao Xuzi said he would wake up in the middle of the night, so he should be awake by now. As his lifesaver, she needed to show her face, and moreover, she feared that if the fire went out, it would get very cold inside the house. It would be a waste if he froze to death after being saved.
Upon hearing footsteps downstairs, the person below instantly turned his head, then his gaze fixed tightly on the face of the girl descending the stairs. His originally dim eyes were now sparkling with gentleness, like they could drip water. His girl was indeed as beautiful as he had imagined, full of vitality.
