"That’s my wife, you’re not allowed to talk nonsense anymore," Gu Qingheng finally released his grip.
Lin Xiwang, seeing the jealousy in the other’s demeanor, felt inexplicably better, and cracked a smile, "I was actually planning to go back to look for Sister Ruxin after bringing Auntie here... hey, hey..." Before he could finish, his whole body suddenly took to the air, and then the trees by his ears started whooshing backward, as the man was actually carrying him in flight.
Lin Xiwang nodded, "Shut up!" Gu Qingheng’s expression was extremely unsightly.
Lin Xiwang was so frightened that he didn’t dare to speak anymore; he could feel the man’s anger. Although the man looked quite nice, he was actually quite intimidating.
Gu Qingheng ran a great distance with Lin Xiwang, and at last discovered the marker left by the people he had sent out. However, the direction was the opposite of what Lin Xiwang had said, clearly going in the wrong direction.
"They can actually get to our village from that side too," Lin Xiwang glanced at the mountain on that side, "It’s just too far."
Gu Qingheng nodded, "Then we’ll follow the route you came from."
At that moment, several eagle cries came from the sky.
"Xiaohei," Gu Qingheng looked up and called out.
The big creature swooshed down, but when it drew near to the people, it suddenly slowed down and landed on a large rock in front of Gu Qingheng, chirping and cooing away.
Lin Xiwang was startled and shrank back, but seeing that it wasn’t attacking him, he relaxed. However, his eyes were full of stars; the eagle was too beautiful.
Gu Qingheng, however, couldn’t understand bird language.
Xiaohei chirped for a long while before realizing that this guy couldn’t understand him, ah, what a waste of emotions. Better to take action then. Immediately, it took flight again, looking back at Gu Qingheng and calling out, meaning for him to follow.
"Big... Big brother... is that the Divine Eagle?" Lin Xiwang glanced at Gu Qingheng, "Why doesn’t it attack people? It seems like it’s talking to you too?"
"He is Hai Dongqing, a... friend of Xinxin’s," Gu Qingheng nodded in confirmation, "He... is probably here to lead the way." He then picked up Lin Xiwang again and hastened to follow Xiaohei.
Lin Xiwang grinned, knowing it—Sister Ruxin didn’t look ordinary, she was incredible!
For Gu Qingheng, after all, his leg had just recovered—running so fast was truly painful, but right now, he couldn’t care. He had to find Xinxin as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the more dangerous it was for Xinxin. Luckily, the Medicine Pill from Dao Xuzi was very effective. After taking one, the pain eased immediately.
Yang Ruxin had returned to her space at this time. She couldn’t keep lying on the tree roots; it was too tiring and frightening.
In the space, she dozed off in a haze, and then she dreamt of Gu Qingheng, heard him calling her name, and then she woke up, slapping her cheeks, "It’s only been two days, and hallucinations are already starting, hearing him call out for me..." Then she shook her head with a smile, realizing she had truly fallen.
But the shouting seemed to draw closer and closer.
Yang Ruxin hurried out of the space and lay on the tree roots to listen closely. It wasn’t a hallucination; there really was someone shouting her name. She was instantly overjoyed, "I’m here... down in the cave..."
Following this were a few eagle cries and then a head appeared at the opening of the cave, and then another next to it.
"Xinxin... are you alright?" Gu Qingheng’s face was full of concern.
"Sister Ruxin..." Lin Xiwang also greeted excitedly, "Are you okay?"
