The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on the ground, leaving mottled spots of light.
Various flowers are planted on both sides of the path. The fragrance of flowers floats in the air, attracting some harmless small exotic animals to linger among the flowers.
Small birds and exotic animals with colorful feathers are flying among the flowers. From time to time, they bury their heads in the flowers and suck the nectar to their heart's content.
Feng Qingyue looked at those cute little creatures and just found them amusing.
Unfortunately, she has no wings, only a big fish tail.
After all, I can no longer enjoy the joy of flapping my wings.
Forget it, go find Xuan Ming to play with when you have time, he has wings.
Feng Qingyue's gaze followed the movements of the small creatures, and her pace gradually slowed down. In the end, she simply squatted on the side of the road, looking intently at a small bird.
The bird felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in its blood. As soon as it turned its head, it bumped into a pair of gentle light blue eyes.
“Chirp…”
The little bird tilted its head and chirped a few times tentatively.
Feng Qingyue narrowed her eyes, stretched out her hand, carefully lifted the bird's round body, and picked it up.
The bird's fur was very soft. Feng Qingyue touched it and smiled with satisfaction.
Sarah walked over to her and looked at the furry ball in her hand with some surprise: "This kind of bird is very alert. You can actually make it land on your hand willingly."
Feng Qingyue glanced at her and saw the envy and desire in her eyes. She held the bird in her arms and moved towards her: "Want to touch it?"
Sarah twirled her fingers awkwardly: "Can I? I'm afraid it might scare it..."
Feng Qingyue twitched the corners of her mouth.
This seemingly arrogant and domineering young lady is actually quite "two-faced"...
Without saying anything, she took Sarah's hand and put the bird into her palm: "Touch it."
Sarah froze in an instant. She stared at the bird in her hand, not daring to move.
Feng Qingyue was speechless as she looked at the girl whose breathing had become lighter.
She took Sarah's other hand and brought the slightly stiff hand above the bird's head.
As a result, Sarah remained suspended in the air and did not dare to move down.
Nangong Li couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Her tone was still gentle, but it contained a hint of urging: "Sarah, the sisters are waiting for us."
She looked at Sarah with feigned worry: "Or... are you scared?"
Sarah rolled her eyes gorgeously and said rudely and arrogantly: "I am the daughter of the Star Lord, of course they have to wait for me.
Also, shut up and make noise."
Looking at Sala who suddenly regained her fighting power, Feng Qingyue raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Nangong Li didn't expect Sarah to say that. She clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were red: "You...how could you do this..."
Sarah interrupted her rudely: "If you're in a hurry, go ahead. We'll be there soon."
Nangong Li looked at her angrily, then glanced at Feng Qingyue, but still felt bored and turned away.
Sarah looked at her back, sneered, and said to Feng Qingyue: "I'm telling you, don't be fooled by her appearance. She's really good at pretending."
Feng Qingyue shrugged indifferently, indicating that she didn't care.
Sarah stretched out her fingers and gently touched the bird's head. She seemed to sigh a little: "She also likes Marshal Ji. Before, she and I did a lot of stupid things to get the Marshal's attention."
As she was talking, Sarah suddenly held the bird in her arms and came close to Feng Qingyue: "I am much more open and honest than her. She only knows how to talk about others behind their backs.
Feng Qingyue looked at the young girl who came over and smiled: "You also used to tease me from behind, okay?"
When the person involved brought up the past, Sarah touched her nose with a guilty conscience. She glanced around and argued with a weak tone, "That was...that was because I was ignorant. But I understand now."
She caught a glimpse of Feng Qingyue's face, trying not to smile. Sarah was afraid she would overthink it, "Don't overthink it. You saved me twice, and I... I don't want to compete with my savior for a man."
Feng Qingyue waved her hand: "I know, I know."
Sarah let the bird go and watched it flutter away.
Turning back, she looked at the pretty girl beside her, and her tone softened unconsciously: "Let's go."
She patted her chest righteously: "Don't worry, I will definitely not bully you behind your back. I won't do that, but that woman Nangong Li will. If you need help, just come to me."
Feng Qingyue smiled at her, and for some reason, Sarah felt that her smile was a bit sinister.
Sure enough, the next moment, she heard the girl's timid voice: "It's okay, I'll go find the marshal."
Sarah: ...
I'm telling you my whole heart, and you want to stab me.
She pulled the corner of her mouth and walked ahead unhappily: "Come on, if we go too late later, they will definitely catch you and kill you."
The two walked on the path. Sarah seemed to have no resistance to the furry little animals. She stopped from time to time and followed the various flying birds with her eyes.
"They...are so free..."
Sarah murmured softly as she watched.
Feng Qingyue sensed her change in mood. She patted Sarah's shoulder gently and said in a gentle tone, "They seem free, but they are also bound by invisible shackles."
Facing Sarah's puzzled gaze, Feng Qingyue raised her hand, and a small bird flew to her hand and landed there. "They are just low-level exotic beasts, prey to higher-level exotic beasts. In the outside world, they spend their days hiding and foraging."
As she spoke, Feng Qingyue moved her hands and let the birds fly back into the air: "Now that they live here, although there are no predators, their range of activities has shrunk a lot."
She looked at Sarah and smiled softly. "What is the definition of freedom? Is it to have a wider world in the outside world but live in fear every day, or to live comfortably in this small place?"
Sarah stared at the girl in front of her. Suddenly, she couldn't understand this mysterious and powerful girl.
There's always a mysterious aura about her, as if...she's not human.
Sarah was shocked by her own thoughts. She looked at Feng Qingyue secretly several times and patted her head speechlessly.
Just tell me to read less novels every day, why are you still doubting me?
Feng Qingyue looked at Sarah's movements and thought she had a headache: "What's wrong with you?"
Sarah felt inexplicably guilty. She shook her head and smiled at Feng Qingyue: "I'm fine. Let's go."
