Hu Que's words did not dispel Jie Ling's thoughts; instead, they made her eyes shine even brighter. She stared at him intently.

Bai Shou, being very perceptive, treated Si Yan as an honored guest.

Bai Feng took a step forward and transformed into a large bird. He spread his wings and smiled gently at Si Yan, saying, "Come on up."

Mingyan stopped her, and in an instant, Bai Feng and Mingyan glared at each other fiercely once again.

Then, Bai Feng turned to Si Yan and said, "Let's go, I have some rice. Please have some."

rice!!

This was an absolute temptation for Si Yan!

The temptation of food!!

Si Yan used her to climb from his wings onto his back.

The white phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded orcs on the ground.

Ming Yan looked at Bai Feng and Si Yan in the sky with a slightly pale face. Bai Feng glanced at him with the eyes of a victor before flying into the sky.

**

Flying on the back of the white phoenix felt completely different from flying on the back of the owl. Si Yan felt very safe deep down, without the slightest sense of unease that comes with being high in the sky.

“We white eagles love trees, and we love living in big trees,” the white phoenix said gently as it soared through the air. “We will build our nests in the trees.”

"Like birds?"

“Siyan is really smart,” Bai Feng laughed. “Like birds, but not exactly the same. Our nests are bigger and more spacious.”

Looking down, Si Yan saw one huge nest after another on the tall trees. The nests were usually oval-shaped spheres with an entrance and a ventilation window.

The snow-white feathers brushed against Si Yan's face, like a lover's gentle caress.

Si Yan's gaze shifted from the scenery below to Bai Feng, whose feathers were pure white and very beautiful.

She couldn't help but touch his feathers.

"Do you like it?" the white eagle male asked her with a smile.

Si Yan immediately withdrew her claws.

She really likes it. The feathers are so good; they'd be perfect for decoration or for making down jackets and comforters.

But she couldn't say.

Not long after, Bai Feng landed on the tallest and largest tree on the mountain and brought Si Yan to the largest lair in White Eagle City.

"This is my home." Bai Feng gently put her down.

Si Yan landed, feeling the softness under her feet, as if she were walking on cotton.

She took a few steps forward and touched the wall with her hand.

This ball, I don't know how it was made, feels much more comfortable than a cave.

"What do you usually eat?" Si Yan asked.

"I eat a lot of meat," Bai Feng replied, "but I also like to eat some grains."

“Grains? Oh right, you said you had rice.” Si Yan said.

"Hmm. It's here." Following the direction Bai Feng pointed, Si Yan found the small hill of millet in the corner of Bai Feng's wall.

That's right, it's Gu Zixiaoshan.

Bai Feng's millet was so plentiful that it formed a small mountain.

"Millet!" Si Yan ran over excitedly.

"How do you eat millet?" Si Yan asked.

Bai Feng grabbed a handful of millet with his slender hand, then rubbed the millet in his hand to peel off the outer husk. He then handed the husked rice to Si Yan, who took the rice and examined it carefully.

Bai Feng picked up a grain of rice, elegantly covering her mouth with one hand, and then shoved the rice directly into her mouth with the other, crunching it loudly.

Si Yan: "..."

Do the eagle-orcs eat rice raw?

"Why don't you cook it before eating?" Si Yan asked curiously.

Bai Feng asked curiously, "Do you eat it cooked?"

Si Yan nodded seriously: "After the rice is cooked, it becomes even softer, stickier and sweeter."

Thinking of the sweet and delicious rice, her eyes crinkled slightly.

I'm already starting to crave it.

Bai Feng lowered her head slightly, her eyes smiling: "So, can Xiao Siyan cook for me?"

Si Yan nodded. She found a large rock in the room and turned to ask Bai Feng, "May I start a fire here?"

Bai Feng said happily, "I'll prepare some wood for you."

It was only recently that I received the small bag of rice; I never expected to see so much rice so soon.

It seems I'll be eating my first meal of rice in the Beast World with this giant eagle.

The thought of being able to eat rice made Si Yan feel quite excited.
