"ah--"

Silver Ring was startled by the sudden gaze that suddenly appeared in mid-air, and screamed repeatedly.

Upon hearing Luo Mang's call, she suppressed her trembling snake gall and immediately said, "Big brother, wait for me... I will definitely come back to find you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the eagle, which had just spread its wings and was about to take flight, froze, almost losing its balance.

He lowered his cold eyes, glanced down at the silver ring on his claws, and with a flap of his wings, immediately flew away from the zoo.

——

The night was deep and silent. Hundreds of kilometers away from Penang, in the western mountain range, towering peaks rose like ferocious beasts in the night, their shadows looming over the landscape with a menacing air.

Huo Fei flew rapidly towards his destination.

The silver ring, caught in his claws, had long since lost the strength to scream.

High in the sky, waves of wind swept over Silver Ring's small body. She shivered, her little tail clinging tightly to Huo Fei's eagle leg, and said in a trembling voice, "You, you have to hold on tight. You can't let me fall."

At this moment, Yin Huan no longer cared about being forcibly taken away from the retirement home; her life was more important. If she died, what was the point of her retirement home? She might as well raise a corpse.

She chickened out; she really chickened out this time.

Silver Ring held her little head high, resolutely refusing to look at the ground. Her snake body was taut, and she dared not move an inch, for fear that if she moved, she would fall.

Waaaaah, help the snake!

It's so high, if someone falls, will they survive?

That's it, she's probably going to be left with a fear of heights after this.

Huo Fei stared straight ahead, his starry eyes gleaming faintly in the night sky. He lowered his head, glanced at the silver ring on his claws, his outstretched wings suddenly stopped, then he straightened them and circled twice in the air before suddenly swooping down towards the ground.

"ah--"

The sudden landing terrified Silver Ring even more, causing her to scream even louder.

The screams stopped, and on the damp ground among the trees, there was a dead snake with its head tilted to the side and its tongue out, lying motionless!

Huo Fei stood quietly on the treetop. After the "dead snake" on the ground finally showed a slight sign of moving, he said, "This is Fuding Mountain. You should be familiar with it. From now on, you will cultivate on this mountain. Don't worry about Luo Mang. He will return here when he has achieved success in his cultivation."

"What? Fuding Mountain!"

Upon hearing the familiar place name unexpectedly, Yin Huan suddenly sat up straight from her feigned death.

The three characters “Fuding Mountain” were like a knot in her little head.

She endured countless hardships, trekking for a month to reach the big city from Fuding Mountain... And then, this eagle, he, he, he actually brought her back.

"Mm." Huo Fei nodded.

The person who took Luo Mang to the zoo for emergency treatment said that Luo Mang was found in a small town at the foot of Fuding Mountain.

Based on this, Luo Mang should be a demon living near Fuding Mountain. And since this little silver-ringed snake addresses Luo Mang as brother and sister, it must also come from Fuding Mountain.

Since Luo Mang was so concerned about this little silver-ringed snake, the safest course of action would be to send her back to the place she was most familiar with, just in case.

Logically speaking, given this kid's personality, living in prison wouldn't be a problem.

But her cultivation level was too low, and the prison was teeming with powerful demons, and filled with formations that suppressed demons. Her staying there would only hinder her cultivation. Moreover, he still harbored doubts about her... and was worried about leaving her in the prison.

However, there's no rush. Once this little guy cultivates his Golden Core, perhaps he'll be able to clear up his doubts.

Huo Fei's casual "hmm" was like a small knife piercing the gallbladder of a silver snake, instantly draining her of all strength.

She slumped her head, looking utterly dejected.

Fuding Mountain... It's so far from the big cities. If she wants to go find her older brother again, wouldn't that mean she'd have to climb for another month?

Waaaaah—Bad eagle, a really bad eagle!

Big brother... Little sister is back in Fuding Mountain again!

Huo Fei flapped his wings twice on the treetop, took off, and flew to the top of Yin Huan's head, circling twice.

Seeing her depressed and pitiful appearance, he said as if possessed, "I'll come to see you in a few days. Focus on your cultivation, and if you make progress, I'll take you to the prison to visit Luo Mang."

After saying that, Huo Feiying's eyes narrowed, and he immediately regretted what he had just said.

He glanced at the still motionless Silver Ring, not intending to linger, spread his wings and flew into the sky, preparing to return to Penang.
