Even with Chu Feiyue's Mage's Hand saving time on flipping through documents, it still took the two of them the entire afternoon to stamp all the documents. This meant that their game time for today was over, and today was truly peaceful...
The next day was uneventful. Chu Feiyue dove into her lab to see if she could design an engine that could adapt to her elemental energy. Of course, she failed. Because there were no materials; finding a material with excellent magic conductivity in the real world was incredibly difficult.
This truly required time...
Qin Yue sat by the bed, holding Xiao Nuo, watching the sunrise, the birds, the elementary school students doing community activities, the elderly, and the sunset, staring blankly out the window all day. In fact, she was recalling memories of her brother. She was preparing to finish her song "Happiness." Only the first verse was complete, and there was still a long way to go, so she needed to rack her brain.
By evening, the two siblings entered the Gate of the Chosen again.
Entering the hall, the House God Angel was still playing games...
This time it was a 3D version of Monopoly.
Chu Feiyue didn't disturb her and went to touch the crystal ball to challenge herself.
The Thrips Grassland wasn't too close to the Flower Court; there were two villages in between. The two of them begged the still half-asleep Auresia to teleport them to Pingma Village.
Amidst Auresia's mumbled curse, "Those who disturb my sleep will fall into a well and drown while climbing a mountain," the two were sent away.
A silver-white light flashed, and the two appeared in the front yard of the village chief of Pingma Village, who was doing fitness exercises in the yard at that moment.
Seeing the teleportation array in his yard, which hadn't been used since he took office, suddenly glow, he was so startled that he twisted his old waist.
So Chu Feiyue had to help carry him into the house. Then the village chief's wife, a very kind old lady, treated Chu Feiyue to two large steamed buns, which were very delicious.
Leaving the village and following the direction given by the village chief's wife, they quickly entered the range of the grassland.
Before entering, they had to pass through a military checkpoint. Since Chu Feiyue had the token from the Lord of the Flower Court, they were quickly let through.
The Thrips Grassland, though not the largest in the empire, was still quite vast. Looking out, one could see no end, with the sky high and the clouds light, the grass lush, and the breeze blowing, creating waves of green. It truly had a grand and beautiful scenery, reminiscent of the vastness of the steppe where the wind blows and the grass reveals the cattle and sheep.
However, what they saw were not cattle and sheep but horses, a herd of wild horses quietly grazing in the distance.
"Ah, so refreshing." Qin Yue opened her arms and took a deep breath, making a gesture of embracing nature.
"Yes, it's beautiful." Chu Feiyue looked at her sister's hair being blown by the wind and sincerely praised her.
"I wonder if the Tarim Grassland is as beautiful as this..."
"Probably not, after all, there aren't as many wild animals there. Does the Heavenly Dynasty even have wild animals?"
"I don't know."
The two siblings chatted leisurely as they stepped into this paradise of horses.
Then, one of the wild horses in the distance lifted its head and saw Chu Feiyue.
Chu Feiyue could be sure that the horse's eyes turned red. The horse let out a loud neigh and charged over, and the rest of the herd, seeing Chu Feiyue, followed.
"I can guarantee they're not here to take a photo with us. Stars in the sky, time and space as eyes. Chaos as the lock, order as the key, heart as the essence, existence as the quality. Open, the page of dreams."
Summoning her staff, Chu Feiyue cast "True Fantasy" on the charging horses.
"Raging Wild Horse: Level 20 Normal (Raged), HP 650. Description: Originally a gentle ordinary foal, it has become raged for unknown reasons. Skills: 1. [Charge]: Increases movement speed when activated. 2. [Trample]: Lifts front hooves to trample the target, with a chance to stun."
By the time Chu Feiyue cast the detection spell, the wild horses had already covered a significant distance. The ones in the lead lowered their heads and suddenly accelerated, clearly activating their Charge skill.
For such high-speed opponents, tripwires were very welcome.
The cunning Chu Feiyue placed tripwires under the hooves of the leading wild horses. If one fell, the rest would follow.
The unfortunate wild horses stepped into the trap and tumbled in a heap. Many were crippled or broke their legs, and a few unlucky ones even broke their necks.
The cries of pain echoed in unison...
"Poor things." Qin Yue looked at them with pity, drew out her harp, and said, "Be good, listen to a song, and I hope you feel better."
Completely at ease, Qin Yue closed her eyes and played a song called "Farewell to Sorrow" for the injured horses.
A miracle happened. Listening to Qin Yue's music, the horses gradually calmed down, tilting their heads to listen. As the song reached its climax, the red in their eyes gradually faded. By the time Qin Yue finished, there was no longer any sign of the rage and destruction in their eyes.
Then, all the horses that were still alive stood up. They stared at Qin Yue for a while, then lowered their previously raised heads in gratitude.
"Wild Horse: Level 20 Normal. HP 500. Description: A gentle ordinary foal, runs quite fast. Skill: [Charge]: Increases movement speed when activated." Their raged state had disappeared.
"Brother, the system just notified me that I've learned Sacred Prayer." Qin Yue turned to her brother, blinking her eyes, and showed him the skill panel.
[Sacred Prayer (Spirit): By praying to the gods, it brings down divine blessings to heal allies and protect them from harm. Dispels most negative statuses and heals allies' injuries. Range: Sound wave range. Casting time: 3 minutes and 16 seconds. No cooldown. Required item: Residual Moon of Li Star]
Great, Qin Yue had once again achieved something incredible.
"Um, this thing came at just the right time. With it, we can dispel the raged state of the wild horses." Chu Feiyue waved goodbye to the departing horses and didn't comment much on this incredible skill.
Qin Yue was happy because she had learned a skill that could help the innocent horses, and the two continued deeper into the grassland.
As they ventured deeper into the grassland, some special wild horses began to appear. The most common were the chestnut horses, which, when raged, became Bronze Elite level and ran much faster than ordinary wild horses. Chu Feiyue's tripwires couldn't stop them anymore.
However, skills weren't set in stone. Chu Feiyue tried changing the shape and size of the earth spikes, turning them from mere obstacles into walls that could block people...
[Earth Wall: Condenses earth elements to form a wall-like barrier with some defensive power. It will collapse when attacked beyond its limit.]
The appearance of this wall turned all the fast-running chestnut horses into tragedies. Like a car traveling at 120 km/h crashing into a wall, although the earth wall would be punctured by several holes, the horses would suffer concussions, and some would even die on impact. This was when Qin Yue would step in, and with "Farewell to Sorrow," the powerful dispel effect of Sacred Prayer would instantly remove all debuffs.
The earth wall required much more elemental cohesion than a small fireball. Currently, Chu Feiyue could create five walls at full strength in her wingless state. But that was enough because dealing with ordinary chestnut horse herds required at most two walls.
But what about the extraordinary ones? Chu Feiyue would soon have to deal with this headache.

Oops, it seems we've fallen off the new book list. Finally, no more worrying, that's great...
