"Mom!"
A babyish voice came from her chest.
Yun Wu lowered her head and watched that little guy which had just craned its round head out of her clothes, opening its sleepy big eyes.
It seemed to be the sound of artillery that woke it up. It rubbed its eyes with its little claws, pouted its little two-fanged mouth and gave a murmur.
What an adorable creature.
Heart melted, Yun Wu couldn"t help intending to stretch out her hand to pinch its chubby little face.
This little thing seemed like a human but was not. The red feathers on it converted into wings, but it didn"t look like a phoenix at all. She had no idea what this species was.
But this chubby little thing was a pretty cute sight.
"Hungry, hungry!"
Suddenly, Reek raised its head and piteously looked at Yun Wu with its big, round and liquid eyes.
Hungry?
That made sense. Even she herself was starving.
This little thing had merely chewed on her hair but hadn"t eaten anything after its birth. No wonder it was hungry.
But what did this little thing feed on?
Milk?
Meat?
Or worms?
"Boom! Boom! "
While Yun Wu was contemplating, another two booms was heard. The source of them seemed to be outside the forest.
"Mom, hungry!"
"Okay, okay. I"ll get you something to eat."
Yun Wu flicked a glance in the direction of that explosion and then ignored it, planning to find some food to fill their bellies.
On hearing this, little Reek looked very happy. The little fatty crawled out of her clothes and soon expertly climbed up her neck to the top of her head.
"Ahead, ahead. Savory, savory... " it yelled in a babyish voice, holding on to her hair.
Yun Wu, whose hair was gripped and under command, felt depressed and resigned.
Because she suddenly felt that it was riding her like riding a horse.
But she still headed for the "ahead" that it mentioned, planning to find out what that "savory" it said was.
However, what she didn"t know was that she and that little thing on her head were the cause of that war between humans and magic beasts outside the forest.
...
In the Luo City!
"Master, all scouts reported. There was still no news."
Lingqi, who was wearing a mask, respectfully reported to the person sitting on a chair.
However, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be chilly. The master"s heavy mood could be distinctly felt.
"What about the Maple Ridge?" Holding a teacup, Long Qingxie slowly took a sip, raised his head in a seemingly demonic manner and flicked a glance at Lingqi.
His magnetic voice was very calm and bland.
But only those who knew him well were aware that the more calm and bland he appeared, the angrier he actually was.
Lingqi lowered his head and respectfully replied, "On the sight of humans, magic beasts in the Maple Ridge go furious and try to eat and kill them. Several members of the search team sent there has been killed. Because of that phoenix, they haven"t been able to enter the forest to search for clues during the past over a month."
After saying this, Lingqi involuntarily raised her head, watched Long Qingxie and added, "Master, it has been over a month, if that lady really entered the Maple Ridge, then she must have either fled or... "
He broke off in the middle of a sentence.
Because he seemed have felt the chilly, bloodthirsty aura about his master.
"Please simmer down, master. I shouldn"t have said that," Lingqi hurriedly said.
Long Qingxie slightly curved his s.e.xy, thin lips, but the smile on them was glacial. In a cold voice, he said, "Leave. Go get your punishment."
