Chapter 376 - 373: Loved by People, Birds See It as Their Target
Upon exiting the lengthy corridor, the view opens up to a valley where wooden houses are neatly scattered about. At the highest point stands a building with a golden roof, upon which the sunlight casts a dazzling golden light. In the distance, a waterfall cascades down the mountainside, creating a mist that rises and forms a rainbow bridging across, all while the remnants of the morning fog linger, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.
Inside the valley, there are hardly any people around. This place appears as a hidden paradise that has been in silence for a century, as if it is welcoming guests for the first time, with flocks of birds chirping and fluttering chaotically.
Chirp chirp, cheep cheep.
Qin Liuxi shades her eyes with her hand, as something colorful flutters towards her against the light, trailing a long tail.
As the bird draws near, it becomes clear that it is a Five-Colored Bird, with vibrant feathers, a red pointed beak, and eyes as bright as obsidian that can reflect a person’s image.
The Five-Colored Bird flies circles around Qin Liuxi, its chirping clear and crisp, as if greeting her arrival. Eventually, it boldly perches on Qin Liuxi’s shoulder and cocks its head to look at her.
Seeing this, the Old Clan Chief is excited and says, "This is our Witch Clan’s sacred Five-Colored Bird. It’s rarely seen, and its appearance upon your arrival must signify a welcome to you."
Si Lengyue is also quite amazed and says, "In all these years, I’ve only seen it three times, each at a grand clan ceremony."
Qin Liuxi says cheerfully, "It seems I am beloved by all, delighting both humans and birds alike, it..."
Plop.
Qin Liuxi’s speech halts abruptly as she glances at her shoulder, where a fresh dollop of bird droppings has slid down, and her face darkens.
Si Lengyue snickers, covering her mouth.
