Chapter 173 Flying Hunt Trial
The next morning, the Eagle Clan—
At this moment, the newly-adult eagle beastmen of the eagle clan were gathered at the Sky Altar.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Yu, who's neither eagle nor wolf, looking completely out of place?" an eagle-clan beastman mocked upon seeing Xiao Yu appear.
Xiao Yu ignored their mockery.
"Even if you grow wings, you can't become an eagle. I don't know how you still have the nerve to stay in our eagle clan." Another eagle beastman continued when he didn't speak.
"Don't say that. His mother is gone, and he can't go back to the wolf clan. Where else can he go if he doesn't stay with our eagle clan?"
"He can't even fully transform into an eagle, so he probably won't be able to catch any prey later! I think he's only fit to stay in the cave and serve us for the rest of his life."
Upon hearing this, a low, mocking laugh came from the orcs.
The orc wanted to say something, but immediately shut up when he saw Cang Ling arrive.
"As you all know, this trial will determine the course of your lives. Whether you continue to roam the heavens or are destined to live in this cave for the rest of your lives depends on today."
After Cang Ling finished speaking, a cry of an eagle rang out, and the beastmen transformed into their original eagle forms and flew off in all directions.
Hahahaha.
One of the eagle-beastmen couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Xiao Yu could only grow wings from his back, but his body was still in human form.
Others who saw it also looked down on it and laughed at it.
Noticing their leader's expression, they quickly covered their mouths and flew away.
"They've already started."
After the eagle-clan beastmen dispersed, Xiao Chong, who was watching them from the tree, said, "We'll set off again in a while."
“Mm,” Mo Li replied.
"Ningning, are you done?" He turned to Shu Ning and asked.
"Right away," Shu Ning replied, squatting down to wipe her bottom.
Shu Ning was about to stand up after she finished.
Just then, a pair of sharp eyes noticed her. Although most of her movements were obscured by leaves, he still saw them.
It then retracted its wings and swooped down, encircling her waist before spreading its wings and flying upwards again.
In a panic, Shu Ning pulled up her pants. Just as she was about to use teleportation, she looked up and was surprised to see a familiar profile.
“Xiao…Chong?” she asked, puzzled.
The wind was so strong that it tousled their hair, and she could only see part of his face.
The man frowned slightly upon hearing her voice, but ignored her and continued flying back.
When Shu Ning saw Xiao Chong with wings on his back, she felt that her reaction was very strange.
Logically, her expression should have been one of surprise and shock, but subconsciously she felt that this was how he should be.
Moreover, she always felt as if she had seen him somewhere before, with wings on his back.
She racked her brains, but couldn't remember anything.
"Xiao Chong, where are you taking me?"
She watched him fly off in another direction and asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to rescue your mother?"
Seeing that Xiao Chong did not answer, she did not continue to ask, knowing that he must have his reasons for doing so.
"By the way, where's Mo Li?" she suddenly remembered and asked.
She turned her head and looked back, guessing that Mo Li should be in the clouds behind them.
This is Eagle Clan airspace, so it's best to keep quiet to avoid attracting the attention of the Eagle Clan beastmen.
As she looked back, she glanced down, unsure of how high they were above the ground.
Seeing the land so far away, she was instantly filled with fear and unconsciously tightened her grip on "Xiao Chong" who was holding her.
When he felt his prey clinging to him, the man glanced down at her but remained silent.
After a while, they returned to the Eagle Clan's Sky Altar.
When Cang Ling saw that Xiao Yu was the first to return with prey, his worried expression instantly turned into a smile.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
He looked smugly at the other eagle-clan beastmen who had opinions about Xiao Yu.
When the other eagle-clan beastmen saw how fast Xiao Yu was hunting, they all looked embarrassed.
The more they mocked him before, the uglier their expression became now.
"Well done, you're worthy of being my son!" Cang Ling excitedly walked up to Xiao Yu, who had just landed.
Shu Ning was completely dumbfounded when she saw what was happening in front of her.
The middle-aged man approached them and patted "Xiao Chong" on the shoulder, saying, "Your father is so proud of you!"
He was deeply moved at that moment, and his eyes suddenly welled up with tears as he thought of something.
"If your mother could see you today, she would be so happy for you."
Shu Ning had never seen Ming Yu remove his mask, but the meaning of his words matched, which temporarily eased her initial wariness.
However, to her surprise, his appearance after removing the mask was not as young as she had imagined.
His voice also seemed to have become more mature since he was no longer wearing a mask.
Xiao Chong's mother did not get to see what he looked like when he grew up, and thinking about this, she felt sorry for him.
"Sigh..." she sighed softly.
Upon hearing her sigh, Cang Ling and Xiao Yu both turned to look at her.
"Yu'er, have you thought about how to deal with her?" Cang Ling asked Shu Ning and Xiao Yu beside him.
"I haven't decided yet," Xiao Yu said.
"Hmm..." Cang Ling looked Shu Ning up and down, and was very satisfied with her appearance.
“She’s quite good-looking, and she’s from the same clan as your mother. How about… we make her your female? The two of you will have things to talk about.”
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning looked at them in shock.
Seeing the reaction in Shu Ning's eyes, Cang Ling said, "Don't worry, little female. Our Yu'er is not like other eagle beastmen. He will definitely treat you well."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Shu Ning was even more confused. "Am I still not awake?"
Suddenly, she remembered something, looked around but couldn't find Mo Li. "Where's Mo Li? Mo Li!"
As she moved away from the man beside her, she finally saw him clearly—
“Xiao Chong, you…” Shu Ning reached out to touch his face.
The man, unaware of her intentions, suddenly grabbed her outstretched wrist.
"Where's the scar on your face?"
She had intended to touch the scar that should have been on his face, but seeing his reaction, she couldn't help but wonder.
Upon closer inspection of his face, she realized that although the man in front of her looked very much like Xiao Chong, there were some differences.
His hair was darker than Xiao Chong's, with some brown showing, and his pupils were also light brown.
She looks very much like Xiao Chong in her features. Although they are both equally beautiful, Xiao Chong's gaze is always gentle whenever he looks at her.
The man in front of me, however, remained cold and aloof throughout, giving off an impression of keeping people at arm's length.
"You're not Xiao Chong!" she exclaimed.
“You’ve got it wrong, little female, it’s Xiao Yu.” Cang Ling, who was standing nearby, corrected him after hearing this. “Of course he’s not Xiao Chong.”
"But I didn't expect you to know Xiao Chong. Come to think of it, Xiao Chong has always been with the wolf clan, so it's not surprising that you know him."
Suddenly, he became interested and asked, "Hey kid, which one is prettier, Xiao Chong or Xiao Yu?"
Although he was comparing Xiao Yu and Xiao Chong, he was actually comparing him to Ming Yu in his heart.
"This..." Shu Ning didn't expect him to ask such a question.
Looking at the cold-eyed, stern-faced man in front of her, she replied without hesitation, "Of course, Brother Xiao Chong is more handsome."
"What?" Cang Ling felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart when he heard this, but then he thought of something and relaxed.
"It's alright. I heard that Xiao Chong already has a female. Child, what do you think of our Xiao Yu?"
