She has seen this kind of rice fruit before, it was yellow and fragrant.

There was a young man who played with it, laughing, and threw it to a little silver snake. The boy had a pale face, dark, deep eyes, and often had a serious look about him.

And yet she knew he was a good man.

She had never met anyone like him since. So gentle, yet sensitive, iron-boned and arrogant.

Was it him? Could it be him?

“You’re in a daze again…why don’t you stop being in a daze right now?” Ling Long suddenly came up to her and patted her on the shoulder, “Be careful, when we’re flying in the sky!”

Xuanji regained consciousness abruptly, smiled at her slightly, and said, “I was thinking…”

“Wondering if it’s Sifeng, right?” Ling Long laughed and interrupted her while holding her arms, letting the night breeze blow her dress and long hair up high.

“It’s useless to think about it! You haven’t written to someone in four years! They tell you to write to him when you’re better. He’s reminded you many times. But you forgot. You’re such a pig head!”

Xuanji only laughed wryly at what she said. They were right, sometimes she really was a pig head. It’s alright to forget anyone, but how could she forget to write a letter to Si Feng.

When Ling Long saw how depressed she was, she laughed and said, “Forget it, forget it! If that man is really Sifeng, we’ll meet him right away. Don’t be sad. He probably doesn’t want to see you looking so listless either.”

Xuanji shook her head, staring at the deep, blue night sky in the distance in a daze.

She wasn’t sad, but she just regretted that she had failed someone once again for no reason at all. He must be very unhappy as he hasn’t heard from her in four years, otherwise why wouldn’t he want to see her this afternoon?

“I said, that pig brain of yours is only good for being nerdy, not for thinking.” Zhong Minyan also leaned over at some point, and said mockingly. “A bitter melon-like face is more suitable for you.”

Xuanji was still in a daze, but Zhong Min Yan and Ling Long clapped their hands and laughed, saying, “That’s it! It’s the perfect look for you!”

She scratches her head in embarrassment, does she really fit the dumb look?

Of course, this is not the right time to think about it. The Sea Bowl[1] was at their feet, and the three of them descended together, their clothes flying, hunting in the night wind.

“What is that smell?” Ling Long suddenly covered her nose and frowned, “It’s fishy and stinks!”

Xuanji also covered her nose and softly said, “It’s the same smell as in the afternoon. It’s a demon!”

Zhong Minyan pulled out his sword, he was on guard, and whispered: “Pay attention to your surroundings. There seems to be something around.”

The three of them look down, but the night is dark and heavy, and it’s hard to see anything down there. They only felt that the fishy smell got worse as they went down. Linglong couldn’t take it anymore, she opened her mouth to vomit, and said with difficulty, “No…! I don’t want to go down!”

Xuanji stopped abruptly, took a firecracker out of her sleeves, and with a pinch of her finger, created a small flame, lit it and threw it down.

Hearing a “bang” sound, there was a sudden bright flash all around, the mountains and valleys were lit up like daylight, and a group of unknown things gathered in the black below. When they saw the bright light, they all flew up and uttered “Qu Ru, Qu Ru ” this strange cry.

They felt the fishy wind blowing in their faces and felt sick to their stomachs. Linglong was vomiting and hurried to fly to a higher place, but the strange birds below flew faster. In the blink of an eye, a large group of birds surrounded them. In the night, the birds’ eyes are like scarlet flames, densely packed together in countless spots, seemingly terrible.

When Ling Long saw them, she screamed and took out her Golden Sword.

Golden Sword is a powerful weapon that she has been using for so many years, and it has always been useful. When she waved it like this, she immediately created a clear sword blast, and an arc shaped golden light shot out in an instant. A large swarm of strange birds scattered, and the stench of blood fell like rain.

Ling Long, in her panic, felt something hit her body, she subconsciously grabbed it – furry and bloody, but it was a bird head. Three heads were attached to one neck, and they were still alive, staring at her with three pairs of blood-red eyes.

She screamed even more miserably, almost crying out, and all she could do was yell, “Little Six! Little Six! Where are you?”

Zhong Minyan was right by her side, exterminating the frightened strange bird that flew over. Hearing her cry like this, he hurriedly flew over, stretched his arms, and pulled her behind him. Suddenly listening to the wind at the back of his head, he executed a sword move, and his heart moved at will. The sword was filled with true energy and turned into countless sword lights, shooting the strange birds to the ground.

“Are you alright? Are you hurt?” He swerved to avoid the birds and asked loudly.

Ling Long clung to his waist and choked, “I’m……fine. It’s just that I was so shocked…”.

How can she still look like that fearless girl Ling Long? She is probably just showing off, but she is a coward by nature.

Zhong Minyan sighed and looked back, but Xuanji was nowhere to be seen, and he broke out in a cold sweat and said, “Where is Xuanji?

When Linglong heard that he couldn’t find Xuanji, she forgot her fear. She looked around for a long time, but she couldn’t see her. “Send me back to my own sword! I want to find her! She…she must have been thrown down by these strange birds!”

Zhong Minyan waved his sword and drove back a large number of strange birds, dashing through the air, killing a path of blood. Ling Long saw from a distance that her sword was caught in the claws of a strange bird, emitting a faint blue light, she immediately slid her body forward, raised her hand to grasp the hilt, and waved the golden sword with the other hand, and the bird was cut immediately. It became four or five pieces, roaring and falling down.

She twisted her body, stood firmly on the sword, wiped the blood off her face and said sternly, “If these birds hurt my sister, I will cut them into pieces. Chopped to a pulp!”

So bold. Who was the one crying and screaming just now?

Zhong Minyan was not in the mood to make fun of her and only looked around, hoping to see Xuanji’s green figure. Suddenly, they saw a black shadow overhead growing bigger and bigger, and when they both looked up, they saw those strange birds abandoning them and flying upwards. Their croaks and shrieks becoming deafening.

As they watched them form a huge black ball, there were even strange birds flying upwards, squeezing in, as if there was something tempting inside. The two of them were dumbfounded.

Suddenly, there was a clear call from the center of the ball, followed by three fire dragons bursting from the inside, the birds dodged in panic, but many of them were burned to death on the spot. The three fire dragons circled around, chasing after the strange three-headed birds, and for a moment the smell of burning covered the foul odor, making it even worse.

In the center of the flames, they could only see a green-clothed girl standing steadily, and she was Xuanji. She was chanting an incantation with her eyes closed, probably because the fire control technique was too fierce. She couldn’t bear it, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her hands were shaking slightly.

“Three Fire Dragons! She’s playing with her life?!” Zhong Minyan knew how good he was, and immediately flew to help.

The strange thing is that those birds clearly see Ling Long and Min-Yin, but they don’t jump on them. The Fire Dragons surrounded Xuanji’s body, and they would get scorched if they got closer, but the birds were still reluctant to leave, shrieking and circling her.

Zhong Minyan had seen such a scene before, and he suddenly recalls the scene four years ago, when a badly injured Gu Eagle desperately tried to get into the fork in the road to eat Xuanji.

What’s wrong with her? Why are these demons always picking on her?

He let out his sword qi[2] and shot down a lot of strange birds. He was about to call Xuanji to come here when he suddenly saw a dozen of strange birds rise up and pounce down from above Xuanji’s head where no fire dragons were circling!

“Sister, be careful!”

Ling Long screamed and was about to go up, but Xuanji was defenseless when those strange birds collided with her and the fire dragons around her went out in an instant.

They watched as she fell from the sword and fell headlong into the ground.
