Chapter 826: Xiaohei (2)
"Why are you following me?" Yang Ruxin looked back at the dark figure, "Aren’t you the Divine Eagle, Hai Dongqing? Hurry up and fly away..."
"I’m injured, and you already said I can’t fly for now. Since you saved me, you should see it through to the end." Hai Dongqing shook its little head, "Otherwise, I’ll die." Its wings were injured now, unable to sustain flight for a long time; both speed and agility were compromised, which would be very dangerous outside. Don’t humans like to tame birds of prey? It is the fiercest among the fierce, so why would this woman reject it? No, this could wound an eagle’s pride.
Yang Ruxin was speechless. Was this really Hai Dongqing? She had heard of Hai Dongqing, "The best eagles come from Liaodong, and the finest of them are called Hai Dongqing," leaving behind many legends. Moreover, the Jurchen and Khitan people became enemies over Hai Dongqing, and later the Jurchen leader Wanyan Aguda destroyed Liao and the Northern Song. It was said that Aguda’s name was derived from the cry of Hai Dongqing.
But was this persistent creature really the Hai Dongqing?
If the eagle knew what Yang Ruxin was thinking, it could’ve cried to death; it was a genuine top-tier "Jade Claw" after all. Many had fought over it till their heads were broken. Yet this person actually said it was being persistent? Er, okay, it was indeed being a bit persistent now, but for some reason, it just felt safe following her. Don’t ask why; this was an eagle’s intuition.
"What’s with this eagle? Did I make a mistake saving it? And now it’s clinging to Xinxin? If it’s going to die, do it far away..." Xiaolun couldn’t stand it anymore. They had just sent Xiaobai away; they couldn’t welcome another powerful rival. It wanted to enjoy being the sole darling; after all, it disliked eagles the most.
The Black Eagle simply ignored Xiaolun, merely tilting its head to look at Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin noticed a pleading look in its eyes, and... was that grievance? Goodness, had the ancient animals all become so cunning?
In the end, she had no choice. When she went up the mountain, she had Xiaobai and Xiaolun with her; when she descended, Xiaobai was gone, but now there was an additional Xiaohei.
