Chapter 289 - 289. A Lake
Following a bird in the night, there was no conversation whatsoever between Hao and Fu Xie Lan.
Under the shade of the core region, the moonlight was blocked and didn't seem to illuminate some of the inner regions. Even so, the area is still filled with light from fireflies or some plants that produce light in the dark.
The wind blew softly, only the sound of footsteps filled the silence.
'Miss...' Hao called.
'Erm, what's wrong?'
'Where will the bird take us?'
'I don't know, I don't know either,' answered the girl through her mind.
Combing through the flower fields for a few minutes, Fu Xie Lan came to a river, along its banks only filled with rocks and weeds.
Seeing the bird fly over the river and then turn its body in midair as if to make sure that Fu Xie Lan was following it, seeing this she sighed.
With a swift movement, the girl jumped over the rocks to get a foothold to get to the other side.
While in the middle of the river, Fu Xie Lan could see the reflection of the light of the fireflies that had been following her ever since. And because of that, she could see the clear water of the river. Even colorful stones that look very clean fill the bottom.
After setting foot on the last rock, Fu Xie Lan resumed her steps into a forest.
Feeling that the bird was flying a little faster than before, Fu Xie Lan decided to adjust her speed.
Jump up, and move from one tree to another. Follow where the bird goes.
It was so quiet, the air in the forest was very cold. However, Fu Xie Lan liked it, she liked the refreshing cold air because it can keep her awake with a mind that is still functioning very well.
Traveling for about a few hours, the bird continued to fly tirelessly and didn't slow down in the slightest.
It continued to move non-stop until the moonlight hit Fu Xie Lan's skin. The girl reflexively stopped her feet on the branch.
Looking at the shadows of the trees and of course also her reflection down there, the girl's brows furrowed.
Fu Xie Lan looked up, and at that moment the beautiful night sky immediately greeted her violet eyes.
Clean white clouds seemed to scatter to fill the dark sky, the stars also dangled with the moonlight shining very brightly. The view of the night sky always makes the girl amazed.
It turned out to be a full moon this night.
Looking back, dark, in contrast to its existence which is only a few meters from a place that is not exposed to the slightest moonlight because it is blocked by the core area above.
Suddenly Fu Xie Lan was stunned, rooted to the spot.
It meant that she was now very far from Master Liu's house. It was very far away, and during the journey, Fu Xie Lan was not aware of it.
Not only that, being able to see the sky from her position could indirectly explain that Fu Xie Lan's current position was at the edge of the inner region.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, the bird also stopped at a distance of about tens of meters from Fu Xie Lan's position. As if waiting for the girl.
'We've gone too far, Miss,' Hao's voice buzzed in Fu Xie Lan's head.
'Erm, that seems to be the case,' Fu Xie Lan replied.
Is this just a feeling or because she just realized it? It seemed that recently, Hao had started talking with her more, from the usual silence, not infrequently she was just ignored when she asked the little white furry creature.
But ever since entering Fairy's territory, why did Hao sound more active and always worried about her? Keep on chattering, saying something pretty obvious barely rivaled Xue Ning's chatty.
Thinking of that girl, suddenly warmth enveloped Fu Xie Lan's heart again. How are they doing now? Even though she had only left the wizarding territory two days ago and now missed them.
A sigh could be heard escaping from Fu Xie Lan's lips. Since she had come this far, she had better hurry and follow where the bird would take her.
Whereas on the other hand, Hao worrying too much about Fu Xie Lan was not without reason, other than because the girl was his contractor, she had other reasons.
That ruthless man, Master Gu Yi, entrusted Fu Xie Lan to him. The man threatened to kill him if anything happened to her.
Yes, he is a being who has made a contract with Fu Xie Lan, of course, Hao doesn't want his Miss to get hurt. Even without the man asking for it, he would always protect the girl. However, hearing the ruthless man's orders directly, somehow made Hao shudder a little.
Fu Xie Lan got up again, moving through the thick forest, together with the three creatures that had been with her since earlier. There was not the slightest bit of fear or worry that rose in the girl's heart.
Maybe because in her previous life she was used to moving alone when completing missions.
The bird suddenly slowed down and came out of the forest.
Fu Xie Lan who was following its suddenly stopped at the last tree branch before jumping onto the ground covered in fine grass below. The girl looked around, and the first thing that entered her view was a lake that wasn't that widespread out there, looking at the forest trees that surrounded the lake area, the girl's brow furrowed again.
She didn't come out of the forest as she had previously thought but rather was at the edge of the lake area in the middle of the forest.
Fu Xie Lan scanned the surrounding area with her violet eyes, and as far as her eyes could see not a single creature entered her view.
Looking for the bird that she had been following since earlier, Fu Xie Lan found the winged creature perched on a flowering plant stalk which had a height that if she estimated it only reached the waist of an adult. It was right on the edge of the lake, and it was also the only plant that entered the girl's view around the lakeshore.
Seeing the creature standing there, Fu Xie Lan's brow furrowed very clearly.
"Is the bird just going to take me to see this lake?" Fu Xie Lan muttered to herself. A harsh sigh escaped her lips.
She had traveled quite a distance and it only ended up in a lake? Fu Xie Lan felt that she had wasted her energy in vain.
Since she was already in a place like this, shouldn't she just enjoy the scenery here? Yeah, maybe that's the only compensation she can get from following the bird.
