Xue Ling, who had failed to convince Huanhuan, was unhappy. He deliberately bit Huanhuan’s face twice and ran away before she flew into a rage.
Huanhuan looked at the bite mark on her face in the mirror. She was so angry that she wanted to capture Xue Ling and beat him up.
Fortunately, her self-healing ability was strong enough. It didn’t take long for her face to recover.
They had been at sea for a full three months.!!
In the bright morning light, Huanhuan finally saw the beast continent that she had not seen in a long time.
From afar, the continent looked only the size of a palm. It was like a small green leaf floating on the vast sea.
When the boat docked, the small leaf became a behemoth.
Xue Ling carried Huanhuan off the boat and landed on the shore.
Huanhuan stepped on the sturdy ground and heaved a long sigh of relief. She felt safer on land.
The tree people went ashore in an orderly manner.
When everyone was onshore, Shuang Yun led the way to Rock City. Bai Di was the last to leave. He put the entire ship into his space when no one was looking.
Xue Ling flew into the sky with Huanhuan in his arms. Yun Hui spread his wings and followed behind them.
Huanhuan touched Eggy’s furry body and told her that this was their home.
Eggy, who was already half a year old, could speak now, but her tone was a little strange. It was as if her tongue couldn’t straighten itself. She couldn’t say certain words correctly.
She crawled out of her mother’s arms curiously. Her red eyes looked at the large forest in front of her, and she said in a clear voice, “What kind of a place is home?”
“The place where you were born and raised.”
Eggy tilted her head. “But that’s clearly the dawn continent.”
“Our home is here. This is home. The dawn continent was just a place we passed by. If you like it there, you can go there again when you’re older.”
Eggy actually didn’t like the dawn continent very much. She preferred to be with her mother.
Huanhuan reminded her, “You have an elder sister and five brothers. You have to get along well with them in the future. Don’t be wilful, do you understand?”
“Chirp.”
Eggy flapped her small wings and flew up. She could somewhat keep up with Xue Ling’s speed. Her originally round body had gradually taken on the form of a condor.
Huanhuan could imagine that she would definitely grow into a powerful feather beast in the future.
Xue Ling felt that his precious daughter was perfect in every way, including her clumsy accent. She was also uniquely cute.
He said proudly, “Eggy has never been wilful. She’ll definitely get along well with her siblings.”
“I hope so.”
Eggy didn’t have enough endurance. Before long, she couldn’t fly anymore. She shrank back into her mother’s arms to rest.
The sky turned dark as night fell.
Everyone found a clean and flat place to rest for the night.
The tree people scattered and busied themselves setting up camp, burning the fire, and cooking.
Xue Ling made a small fire alone, and the family gathered around it. Bai Di placed ingredients in the pot, and the rich fragrance of meat quickly filled the air. Even the tree people who didn’t eat meat couldn’t help but look at the makeshift stove on their side with curiosity.
Huanhuan gave some seasonings to the tree people.
The tree people thanked her repeatedly and happily added seasonings to their food. However, because it was their first time using the seasonings, they could not control the quantity and heat well. The taste was a little difficult to swallow.
Huanhuan took a bowl from Bai Di. It was filled with fragrant meat and vegetable stew.
As she ate, she listened to her family discuss things.
Shuang Yun talked about the number of journeys today.
Bai Di pondered. “That’s too slow. At this rate, it’ll take us at least half a year to reach Rock City.”
“It can’t be helped. Those tree people can’t transform into beasts. They can only walk on two legs. They’re slow to begin with. Besides, they have a few old people among them. It’s good enough that they were able to walk so far today without stopping to complain about being tired.”
Xue Ling thought for a moment. “Why don’t I fly back with Huanhuan first? After we reach Rock City, I’ll bring some wolf beasts and birds to pick you up.”
Bai Di frowned at the suggestion. “No.”
“Why?”
“You want to fly back alone with Huanhuan? What if you encounter danger on the way? It’s too unsafe.”
Xue Ling smiled faintly. “Won’t she be in any danger if she takes this half-year-long journey? I fly fast. If nothing goes wrong, I can reach Rock City in a month. Isn’t this better than letting Huanhuan suffer with everyone?”
Huanhuan quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and raised her hand. “I don’t think it’s difficult following everyone.”
Xue Ling pressed his hands down on her. “Eat your food.”
“Oh.”
Half a year was indeed too long. No one could guarantee that nothing would happen on the way.
Bai Di didn’t dare bet on Huanhuan’s safety, but he couldn’t be at ease if Xue Ling flew Huanhuan back alone.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Di said, “Let Yun Hui fly back with you. That way, you’ll have an extra helper.”
Yun Hui, who was suddenly called out, looked up with a blank expression.
Huanhuan blinked at him. “Do you wanna come home with us?”
Knowing that he was going with Huanhuan, Yun Hui nodded without hesitation. “Alright.”
Hence, this matter was settled.
Bai Di told them to leave at dawn the next morning.
Xue Ling agreed.
After eating and drinking their fill, the tree people entered the tent to rest. Bai Di found Ju An and Hui Jian and told them about Xue Ling and the other two leaving first.
Hui Jian touched his cane uneasily. “Am I slowing you down? I’m old and clumsy. You can go first. Just leave marks along the way and I’ll follow them.”
Ju An immediately said, “I’ll stay with you.”
“As the tribe leader, you should be with your tribesmen. Don’t always follow me around like a child.”
“You’re also one of my people…”
Bai Di waved his hand, indicating that they could stop arguing.
“There are many ferocious beasts on the beast continent. It’s not safe to leave anyone alone. You have to come with us.”
Hearing this, Hui Jian let out a long sigh. “If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have left the blue wind continent. It would be best for an old man like me, who can’t live for long, to die in my hometown.”
Ju An was unhappy. “Don’t say that. You’re an elder of the tree tribe. The knowledge and experience you have are incomparable to all of us young people. We need your help.”
Hearing this, Hui Jian’s mood improved a little.
When one was old, one was most afraid of being useless and becoming a burden to others.
He hoped he could be useful, even if it was just a little.
