Ahead, Xiao Zhuyi's appearance became increasingly blurry, and Zhuyi wondered: Why is it that the closer I get, the less I can see the face of the person opposite me?
Zhu Yi stopped and quietly gazed at the beautiful woman opposite him, who looked exactly like herself.
Zhu Yi raised her hand to rub her eyes, put away her sunglasses and goggles, and stopped looking at the figure in front of her that looked exactly like her. A clear and pure wood spirit energy came from her wrist, breaking the doubts and unease in Zhu Yi's heart.
"Junior sister, what you are seeing is all an illusion. Don't be fooled by it."
Xue Shan's voice was anxious as she kept calling out to Zhu Yi from the other end of the Netherworld Bridge.
Zhu Yi felt a warmth in her heart; why dwell on the hatred between her and Zhu Qianying?
Doesn't she have so many lovely people and so many interesting things to do around her?
Zhu Yi focused her mind, facing the little Zhu Yi not far away, and smiled: "Don't worry! No matter who you are, whether you are the little Zhu Yi that Jiang Lin picked up in your past life, or the Zhu Yi who is bullied in this life, I will live well and be happy every day, let those insidious people be envious!"
Upon hearing this, the figure opposite him still smiled faintly, but with a hint of relief. The surrounding mist dissipated, revealing a brighter, more radiant sunlight.
Zhu Yi parted the fog, looked down at the road, carefully examined the patterns on the red jade bridge beneath her feet, and resolutely strode out of the Netherworld Bridge with a carefree and unrestrained gait.
Xue Shan was overjoyed and skipped over to Zhu Yi's side, stammering. She had so many questions to ask, but she couldn't say anything because she was so excited. She then turned to look at Wei Weiwei, who was still delayed on the bridge.
"Don't worry, Sister Shanshan, I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry," Zhu Yi said with a smile.
"Didn't we just eat? How come you're hungry again?" Xue Shan asked curiously. Did time fly by?
Zhu Yi stopped talking and turned around to look at Wei Weiwei with Xue Shan.
In the heavy, gray fog, Wei Weiwei's face was filled with sorrow. Zhu Yi couldn't see Wei Weiwei's expression clearly, but with his keen hearing, he could clearly hear Wei Weiwei's sobs.
Suddenly, a powerful and agile figure soared through the air, a sharp and piercing sound ripped through the sky, and a blue eagle flashing with golden light landed on Zhu Yi's shoulder.
"Brother Eagle King! What are you doing?" Zhu Yi dared not show that her legs were weak. Her peach blossom eyes turned into cross-eyed eyes. It took her a long time to finally find her focus and see the blue-feathered golden-clawed eagle on her shoulder.
It was heavier than a proud rooster no matter what, and Zhu Yi almost couldn't stand up straight.
"Foolish human cultivators! They can't even pass through the mere Netherworld Bridge illusion!"
Eagle King ignored Zhu Yi, his hawk-like eyes fixed on the thin figure on the bridge, filled with a sense of disappointment and frustration.
Having said that, the Eagle King retracted its golden claws and soared into the air, causing Zhu Yi to tremble in pain, too afraid to protest.
The eagle's cry pierced the sky once more, this time three times in a row. The eagle king circled three times in mid-air before landing on Zhu Yi's shoulder again.
Zhu Yilang cried out, "Brother Eagle King! We didn't steal your cubs, so don't keep..." bullying us.
Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Yi saw Wei Wei emerge from a gloomy mist, tears welling in her eyes, holding two wet little black birds in her arms.
"Brother Eagle King, thank you!" Wei Weiwei's voice trembled, still looking deeply wronged, desperately holding back her tears. The scene in her dream was truly unbearable, and she hadn't fully emerged from it yet.
"Mother! Mother!" The two little black birds chirped weakly, their tiny beaks preening their sparse feathers as they called out to Wei Weiwei for food.
The Blue Feathered Golden Claw Eagle King, enraged, stared at the two chicks in Wei Weiwei's arms, whose shells were half-cracked: "My chicks!"
"You cunning human cultivator! You still say you didn't steal my cub!" The Eagle King, mindful of the cub in Wei Weiwei's arms, didn't howl too loudly.
Of course, you should be gentle with your baby.
Zhu Yi found it somewhat amusing that the Eagle King could suppress its natural instincts like this: "Um, we didn't know either. These two eggs were our reward for passing the previous level..."
That statement sounds somewhat guilty.
Wei Weiwei calmed herself down and gently touched the little black bird's soft little wings with her soft, delicate fingers.
"I'm sorry, Brother Eagle King." Wei Wei took a deep breath, pushed the two little black birds in front of Eagle King with both hands, "I didn't know these were your babies. I saw them all alone in the nest, with no big birds guarding them. They looked like they had been abandoned, which was a bit pitiful."
The Eagle King's eyes grew even fiercer: "Who dares to scare my cubs!"
Wei Weiwei was not afraid at all: "Anyway, we didn't steal your babies. We even drew spirit-nurturing talismans to incubate the eggs. Now we're returning the two little babies to you. You can take them back."
"Don't lose your cub again next time." The girl looked back at the Eagle King with sincere eyes, and for some reason, the Eagle King was somewhat willing to listen to what this little girl had to say next.
"Daddy!" The little black dog looked at the majestic Eagle King on Zhu Yi's shoulder with delight. "I remember, a woman took us away, and Mommy found us!"
"Shut up! That's not your mother! Your mother is still at home waiting for you to come back!" The Eagle King was furious, about to be driven mad by his stupid son.
It's truly shameful that I can't even tell the difference between a human and an eagle!
Xue Shan looked Wei Weiwei up and down, noticing that she seemed alright, though her eyes showed some fatigue. She asked in a trembling voice, "Weiwei, what happened to you on the bridge?"
Why... do you look so tired?
Wei Weiwei held the two little ones in one arm and spread her other hand out in the air for Xue Shan to see: "I dreamt of some bad things, and then I heard an eagle cry, and just then the two eggs in the storage bag hatched."
The Eagle King scrutinized the two little ones carefully, as if he had discovered something, and his anger intensified.
With a powerful shove of its large, bony claws, Zhu Yi screamed, startling the two little ones who trembled and retreated back into Wei Weiwei's arms.
"Tch! Brother Eagle King! You can't bully people like this! Didn't you find your cub?" Zhu Yi roared back fiercely, "Why are you arresting me?"
"Weak human cultivators! You think you can form a contract with our Blue Feather Golden Claw Eagle?" The Eagle King stared at Wei Wei with hostility and asked.
"Who gave you permission to contract with my child?"
Zhu Yi looked at Wei Weiwei. A contract? Weiwei is amazing!
It would be a loss not to form a contract with a high-level spirit beast like the Blue Feather Golden Claw Eagle. Otherwise, why would Zhu Qianying go to such lengths to frame someone and steal the egg?
Wei Weiwei blushed and stammered, "I don't know what happened. I felt something moving in the storage bag, and when I reached out to check, the two little guys pecked me."
Zhu Yi and Xue Shan looked closely and indeed found two tiny cuts between Wei Weiwei's fingers. They weren't very noticeable, but it was clear that the little one's teeth were very sharp, causing the cuts and bleeding.
"It was clearly your cub that pecked our Weiwei first, don't be unreasonable." Zhu Yi reached out to pat her shoulder, but instead touched the Eagle King's rough golden claws, and felt a little depressed.
