She was different from those humans who treated beasts like slaves.

The eagle sighed, not knowing how to explain to its wife that their son had been abducted by a human.

The giant eagle was thinking about that fox again.

It was impossible to tell what species it was, but judging from the kind of power it possessed, it shouldn’t be an ordinary beast.

After all, it was definitely extraordinary for a fox cub to be able to block its full-power strike.

To be able to become the master of that fox, that lass Xia Muqing wasn’t someone ordinary either.

With that in mind, the giant eagle felt much better after having its son snatched away.

If its son followed them, it might have greater opportunities.

Xia Muqing sat on the black eagle and admired the view of the Sunset Mountains once again.

This time, she took a closer look.

The black eagle flew slower and lower.

As Xia Muqing sat on its back, she had a clearer view of the entire landscape.

She patted the back of the black eagle to make it fly lower.

The blurry mountain streams became clear in an instant.

Xia Muqing was delighted and gestured for the black eagle to stop.

The black eagle obediently bent and swooped down towards the valley.

The environment here was exactly where the white ginseng could be found.

Xia Muqing had been thinking about healing the white snake. But after such a long time, she and the green snake still couldn’t find any white ginseng.

Not to mention a hundred years old ginseng, she hadn’t even spotted a ten year old one. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

She carefully searched around the puddles in the valley.

The black eagle mimicked Xia Muqing and lowered its head closer as well.

Its serious expression made Xia Muqing laugh. It was the first time she smiled at the black eagle after Gungun got injured.

“Do you know what I’m looking for?”

The black eagle shook its head, but Xia Muqing’s smile made it happy.

“Sister, you look pretty when you smile.”

Xia Muqing’s heart softened at the black eagle’s innocence.

She stroked its head and decided not to be upset with it.

That incident wasn’t its fault.

After a while, Xia Muqing really found the ginseng.

She looked at the five hundred-year-old white ginseng in surprise.

Xia Muqing plucked it carefully and placed it in her bag.

She asked the black eagle to bring them back.

They soared up into the sky again. The constant stroking of its head had kept the black eagle excited.

Its speed had increased slightly.

Xia Muqing was also infected by its happiness.

Once they landed, Xia Muqing rushed to the green snake’s cave to look for it.

She didn’t see a single animal along the way, which made her feel odd.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the cave, she realized that the door was wide open.

She immediately realized that something was wrong. With the snake’s cautiousness, it was impossible for it to be so careless.

Xia Muqing entered the cave but didn’t find any traces of a fight.

The white snake and the green snake were both gone.

Puzzled, she slowly walked out of the cave.

She saw a Sika deer standing at the entrance of the cave.

Xia Muqing was delighted and was about to ask about the whereabouts of the green snake.

When the deer saw Xia Muqing, it widened its eyes in shock and ran away.

Xia Muqing was also stunned by its reaction.

Although she usually liked to find beasts to spar with when she was free, she had only sought ferocious beasts and had never harmed any deer.

Did it have to be so afraid of her?

Xia Muqing asked the black eagle to chase after the deer. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

With the black eagle’s speed, it soon caught up with the deer.

The deer fled desperately as though it didn’t see the black eagle and Xia Muqing.

Xia Muqing could sense the deer’s urgency and decided not to disturb it.

She instructed the black eagle to slowly follow behind.

The Sika deer ran to a spot and stopped. Looking around the empty woods, it stomped its feet anxiously.

“What happened to you?” Xia Muqing asked.

The deer looked at Xia Muqing in shock. It didn’t know why it could understand human language.

Xia Muqing asked again. As the matter was urgent, the deer couldn’t care less and rattled off anxiously, “The rhinoceros saw a giant eagle taking you into the depths of the mountain range and informed the green snake. The green snake gathered everyone to save you, but they couldn’t cross the Netherworld River at all.”

Xia Muqing knew why the deer was so anxious.

Without wasting any more time, she made the black eagle fly towards the Netherworld River.
