However, such a situation could not remain unresolved.
Knowing that they would not give up so easily, what if they run back again and want to teach little vulture how to walk or the likes of it, she would most definitely be exposed!
Huang Yueli thought hard and soon a plan was weaved out.
…
After a while…
“Squawk squawk!” A tender squawk came from the other side of the nest.
The two White Winged Golden Crested Vultures that were filled with sorrow were startled and turned their heads. They did not know when did their little baby, who had been sitting dumbly without moving an inch, had already walked behind the other eggs and was toddling round clumsily.
White Winged Golden Crested Vulture Mother opened her eyes wide in astonishment as she relished the moving sight in front of her.
“Squawk squawk!”
White Winged Golden Crested Vulture Father: [See? Our Treasure can walk! There’s no problem with its legs!]
“Squawk squawk!”
White Winged Golden Crested Vulture Mother: [But…why did it not walk just now?]
“…squawk squawk?”
White Winged Golden Crested Vulture Father: [Maybe…because it’s…lazy?]
It was as if it was just to confirm White Winged Golden Crested Vulture’s Father’s guess, little vulture walked a few more steps and slowly sat down again.
From where little vulture was, it was separated by several large eggs so Huang Yueli could hide temporarily. When it stopped, Huang Yueli immediately sneaked back and hid under its wings.
Although little vulture had only walked a few steps, it had proven that it had no problems with its legs!
The two birds felt that they had overreacted a it but after seeing that their baby could walk, they set their hearts at ease.
The sky was getting darker and darker. After feeding little vulture a big piece of meat, the two large White Winged Golden Crested Vultures settled down as well and slowly closed their eyes.
Everything became silent.
Huang Yueli slowly peeked out from under little vulture’s wings, poked her head out and looked left and right as she surveyed her surroundings.
She then threw out a small pebble and watched closely as it landed at the side of the White Winged Golden Crested Vulture. The two White Winged Golden Crested Vultures did not stir and looked to be in deep sleep.
She immediately got up and kept the little vulture in the Sky Phoenix Ring and took out a long rope with a claw attached at the end.
She had already noted down her surroundings during the day and knew that the White Winged Golden Crested Vulture’s nest was perched on top of a thick and solid golden leaf banyan tree.
This tree trunk was so thick that even if ten over people held their hands together, they still could not go around it. It’s estimated to be a few thousand years old and it grew on a prominent crevice of the wall, slanting outwards.
With the aid of the claw and rope, Huang Yueli slid down the trunk of the golden leaf banyan tree. Very soon, she stepped onto the rock and climbed up the slope of the cliff’s wall.
……..
After two hours.
The night was silent and in the large nest, two White Winged Golden Crested Vultures were sleeping soundly without even realizing that their genius baby that had just hatched had been taken away by someone.
A figure flashed and appeared above the nest.
“That’s odd, I sensed Little Fox’ aura nearby…why isn’t there anyone?”
His expression was dark and gloomy like the night as he furrowed his brows in scrutiny.
His probing gaze swept the entire nest and a glint flashed by his eyes.
At one far corner of the nest, lay a piece of purple scarf. This was very familiar to him because this was what Huang Yueli wore!
“It looks like, she really has been here…but, where could she be now?”
Li Moying tightened his grip on the scarf in his hand as he started to think deeply.
