Purple feathers and a green abdomen, with jade-green tips at the wings. They were as big as storks and looked as grim as can be. Gu Xijiu’s heart stopped for a moment. Were these two birds the legendary birds with poisonous feathers? Such birds were a real rarity in the world. It was even more uncommon to spot two at the same time.
This kind of bird was extraordinarily poisonous and was immune to any sort of poison. That was why they were able to pass through the blossom garden mist from the above. The two birds looked incredibly proud as they kept their chests up.
One of the birds tilted its head to the side and looked at Gu Xijiu. It suddenly spoke to her. “We will bring you there.”
Gu Xijiu was puzzled. She seeked more information. “Who is your master?”
“We will bring you there.” The bird only reiterated.
Perhaps it only knew that sentence? Gu Xijiu was somewhat disappointed.
However, with the two birds before her, it meant that her biggest problem had been solved and she would not have to take the long way through the Tree Palace.
Each bird could accommodate one rider comfortably, but two was rather tricky.
Yun Yanli wanted to keep his dignity. He did not want Gu Xijiu to take care of him as if he was a paralyzed person. He hit his palm on the ground and pushed himself up onto the back of one of the birds.
Gu Xijiu saw that he was rather agile; hence, she was not too concerned. She then hopped onto the back of the other bird. The birds then flapped their wings and took off.
…
Fortunately, along the way, Gu Xijiu realized that the two birds could understand her. Therefore, she could instruct them on the directions. They immediately flew to a nearby city and landed in a restaurant.
Those kinds of birds were extremely rare. So, when Gu Xijiu and Yun Yanli touched down, they caused a sensation and invited the people to crowd them.
“This… is this the legendary bird with poisonous feathers?”
“This is the kind with crested heads! Much more exotic than the normal ones!”
“The kind with crested heads? I heard that Di Fuyi had tamed a pair of such birds a year ago. Could this pair be his?”
“It couldn’t be… Di Fuyi always takes extremely good care of his birds, and would never lend them to anyone. These two are not Di Fuyi’s.”
“Or could these two be friends of Di Fuyi? Since it is only Di Fuyi alone who has tamed such birds. They could only belong to him.”
“Definitely!”
People were gossiping, and Gu Xijiu could finally determine who was the owner of the pair of birds. It seemed that Shen Nianmo was worried about her; perhaps he was afraid that Yun Yanli and her could not leave the area.
She felt a warmth gush in her heart, and extended her arm to tap the wings of the birds. “Help me send my gratitude to your master.”
The two birds were proud. After dropping Gu Xijiu and Yun Yanli off, they flapped their wings and flew away, without even looking at the crowd.
It seemed that Di Fuyi was popular in the area. Due to the birds, the cafe was fully occupied, but the owner still offered them two guest rooms for free as his courtesy to Di Fuyi.
Gu Xijiu was contented. She never thought that Shen Nianmo could achieve such great things even at such a young age. He was indeed talented! Gu Xijiu quickly settled their accommodation, and immediately attended to Yun Yanli’s injury.
Gu Xijiu was modest in terms of keeping a certain distance between them; she respected that they had different genders. She did not want to always spend time alone with Yun Yanli; hence, she used her directed audio to get into contact with Long Siye. Long Siye arrived shortly, in just 30 minutes.
Long Siye was very capable and respected by Emperor Ye Tianli. He had ascended to the position of a general since he came to the Upper Bound. With considerable authority at his hands, he could be considered a level-three official now.
Yun Yanli was once the superior of Long Siye. Therefore, Long Siye was indebted to Yun Yanli and was comforted seeing that he was safe.
