Chapter 17: Beauty and Danger comes hand in Hand
The leaves rustled as they swayed in the winds. Howls not just from animals sounded throughout the night.
Feng Jiao Xue perched on a tree branch by the side of her camp. Yin Xiao snores peacefully beneath her tree branch while Huang Jin De went back to the space ring to continue cultivation.
As much as Feng Jiao Xue wanted to follow either of their lead, she vigilantly stayed on guard until the next batch of vigils arrived.
As if summoned by her though, a guard approached her.
"Miss, it's time to change shifts. Please rest up for tomorrow" He informed her before moving into another area to patrol.
With a leap, Feng Jiao Xue landed gracefully on the ground.
"Ngou?" Bleary doe eyes peered up at her.
"Go back to sleep, don't worry" She gently caressed his head with a soft smile. Rare as it might be, she does know how.
"Ngou?" Yin Xiao still asked. 'Where are you going?' it translated in her mind through their bond.
It was something she later realized. While Yin Xiao spoke to her normally in the imperial language, his lips never moved in the same way that the words should have been sounded. Their contract allowed them to cross the barrier but to others, aside from beast kind as well that is, everything is grunts, neighs or growls. At least, until he cultivates to a certain extent.
Patting his head between his antler, Feng Jiao Xue added her magic into him. Though she has not trained in it as well as she had with her Qi, that doesn't mean she neglected it at all.
