Goodbye, Saint
Cody and Knox protected Anita on both sides. Ethan couldn't squeeze in, so he could only scratch his hair and retreat behind the girl in frustration.
He originally thought that Saint Anrita would fall in love with him at first sight because of his handsomeness and tallness, but he didn't expect that she was already surrounded by many outstanding men. In comparison, he seemed to pale in comparison.
Anrita stared at Hudson for a moment, touching his forehead with her fingertips, trying to sense his mental state.
The other party's mental power was far more active than imagined. Not only was his main consciousness not asleep, but the moment he sensed her power, he entangled her like a spider web.
Anita hastily withdrew her mental strength, a cold sweat breaking out - she was nearly captured by this sleeping snowy owl hunter.
"Are you okay?" Cody immediately stepped forward and asked.
She shook her head, a faint light emanating from her fingertips, leaving a faint healing mark between Hudson's brows.
But after a moment, the sleeping Snow Owl Warrior's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a low moan escaped from his throat.
Just at this moment, the Snow Owl Saint came hurriedly with her entourage, and Lilia followed closely behind.
Before the former could speak, the latter asked anxiously, "Angie, how is Hudson?"
"The counseling has been completed and he will wake up soon."
Anrita dodged to the side and motioned everyone to come forward.
She turned and walked towards the cave entrance. The Snow Owl Saint's counseling room was spacious and luxurious, with luminous moss embedded in the stone walls, illuminating the entire space softly and brightly.
But she only felt depressed at the moment - this was originally the "wedding room" prepared for the Snow Owl Saint and Hudson, but now it has become her temporary stay.
"Can we go now?"
She stood on the railingless ice corridor, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and asked.
Knox raised his hand to gather her fur cloak, his fingertips accidentally brushing against the tip of her red ear.
"Anrita!"
Suddenly, the Snow Owl Saint shouted from inside the cave, "You can't leave!"
Everyone then turned their gaze away from Hudson and looked at the girl.
Amidst the sound of gasps, the Snow Owl Saint glared at Anrita's face, her eyes filled with incredible jealousy.
The "Angie" in my memory, who wore a rough mask and had a mediocre appearance, now looked like an elf carved from ice crystals. His skin was as clear as melted snow on the snowy mountains, his lips were the color of newly blooming polar berries, and his eyes were filled with the bright luster unique to the nobles of the main star.
"How dare you deceive us with a mask!"
The Snow Owl Saint's fingertips trembled, "The Snow Region does not allow hypocrisy!"
"Which interstellar code prohibits females from wearing masks?"
Anita raised her eyebrows and said, "If you can't tolerate me, then I will leave now."
She had long wanted to leave this prison of ice and snow. If she hadn't been worried about Hudson's awakening, she would have left as soon as she met Knox in the hot spring.
"No! Hudson isn't fully awake yet!"
The Snow Owl Saint stopped him.
Lilia stood aside, her eyes full of reluctance, but she didn't say a word in the end - she knew that Anrita belonged to the wider starry sky.
At this moment, cheers came from the cave: "Wake up! Hudson is awake!"
Anita did not stop and jumped onto Ethan's back under the escort of Cody and Knox.
The Snow Owl guards stood still, their eyes following her infatuatedly - they had seen this face in the live broadcast of the Spirit Tree of Life, and only now did they realize that the "ugly girl" they had ignored was actually the Saint from the main star!
"Goodbye, Lilia."
Anita waved her hand, and the animal skin cloak formed a graceful arc in the wind and snow.
Lilia waved with red eyes, thousands of words choked in her throat, which finally turned into a trembling "Goodbye, Anrita".
The Snow Owl Saint was burning with jealousy as she looked at the distraught looks of the males around her.
She turned and ordered her followers, "Notify the air patrol and stop them! Saint Anrita must be kept here!"
She suddenly remembered the leader's advice - whether Anrita stayed or went should be a bargaining chip on the negotiation table, rather than letting her leave with Black Hawk.
"Go! Don't let them escape from Snow Owl airspace!"
In the wind and snow, the roar of Ethan's wings drowned out the shouting behind him.
Anita tightened her cloak, felt the powerful flapping of the eagle's wings beneath her, and suddenly chuckled.
As Ethan ascended high into the sky carrying Anita, Knox and Cody, a sky full of snowy owls swarmed out from the clouds like sharp blades.
Knox's eyes turned cold: "You are seeking your own death."
Before he finished speaking, he leaped down, and black tentacles broke out of the ground, wrapping around the nearest snowy owl like a living thing, and using the reaction force to land steadily on the other's back.
Seeing this, Cody stamped his feet anxiously and shouted to Anrita, "Lady Saint, you and Ethan go first! We'll meet in the Snow Forest!"
Without waiting for a response, it transformed into a giant black python and swooped down, its scales glowing with a faint blue luster in the sunlight.
Anita clutched the feathers around Ethan's neck, her fingertips turning white from the force.
A thousand meters above the ground was a steep ice cliff, and two men who couldn't fly just jumped down like that—
Knox's S-level ability is enough to regenerate severed limbs, and Cody's python scales are comparable to Warframe, but she still can't help but feel palpitations.
"Don't worry, they are very strong."
Ethan flapped his wings to avoid the stray arrows, his voice filled with rare confidence.
At the same time, Hudson in the cave suddenly opened his eyes.
He pushed away the attendants who surrounded him and tore off the bandage wrapped around his arm. "How long have you been unconscious?"
"Two days, Captain Hudson."
He ignored the maid's adoring gaze and said, "It was Saint Anrita from the main planet who saved you, but the leader and the saint wouldn't let her go..."
Before he finished speaking, Hudson rushed out of the cave.
The Snow Owl Clan's aerial patrol team was fighting with tentacle monsters and giant pythons. Ethan's black eagle was circling in the center of the vortex, and the girl on its back was leaning out to look around.
"Hudson! You're finally awake!"
The Snow Owl Saint rushed forward, but was pushed away by him with a cold face.
Hudson raised his hand to his lips and blew two sharp whistles - that was a retreat signal that only the Snow Owl warriors could understand.
The patrol dispersed like the receding tide. The Snow Owl Saint anxiously tugged at his arm.
"Are you crazy? The leader is negotiating with Hogg! Energy Stone..."
"Because Luca saved her, she saved me."
Hudson looked at the gradually shrinking black spot, his Adam's apple rolling, "The Snow Owl Clan shouldn't trade their benefactor for resources."
The Snow Owl Saint wanted to argue, but she saw Hudson suddenly freeze - high in the sky, Anrita happened to look back.
The moment their eyes met, a faint smile appeared on the girl's lips, and she disappeared at the end of the snow-capped mountains with the black eagle.
Cody transformed back into human form and patted Ethan on the back: "It was Hudson who called back the patrol."
Anita looked at the gradually melting ice and snow line and sighed softly.
The Snow Owl Warrior who watched them leave from the cave entrance had a light in his eyes that didn't belong to this icy plain: "He could have been a very good leader."
The wind and snow brushed past his ears, and Ethan's wings were more stable than any aircraft.
Anita touched her lower abdomen, feeling the faint fetal movement——
Compared to the Snow Owl Clan's political schemes, she was more looking forward to the young life spirit tree seedlings that were about to break through the ground in the greenhouse of the main star.
