Don't mess with that Miao boy, he's sickly and perverted.

If someone were to ask him what the most interesting thing in the world is?

He would answer without hesitation: Angry Chai Xiaomi.

It seems like it was before she appeared.

Aside from ruthless and brutal killings, he never found pleasure in anything.

I always feel that everything in this world is dull and tasteless.

But now, he even finds it more interesting to tease her and make her angry than torment his prey.

However, this "degree" is extremely difficult to grasp.

You want to annoy her, but you can't really go too far.

After that, her round, almond-shaped eyes would fill with a watery light, looking like they were about to burst into tears. He no longer found it interesting; instead, it made him inexplicably irritable and his chest feel tight.

So, Wu Li awkwardly rubbed her head.

His voice softened, carrying a hint of coaxing that he himself didn't even realize:

"Really not going to see it? The sunset in the valley is absolutely stunning."

The head in her arms moved almost imperceptibly, but the voice remained muffled: "...I won't look!"

"So, would you like to get to know Anan?"

He slightly raised his fingertips, brought them to his lips, and blew out a clear and melodious whistle.

Before long, a loud and sharp cry broke through the wind, piercing the clouds, and approaching from afar.

Chai Xiaomi's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Finally, out of curiosity, I opened my eyes a crack.

They saw a majestic eagle, its broad wings outstretched, circling around them, its sharp beak holding some kind of fruit.

And they were indeed still in the air!

Exceptionally stable.

She looked down and found that there were hundreds and thousands of dark bats at her feet, closely clustered together, flapping their wings, forming a surging and gathering black cloud that floated in the air.

Wu Li held her like that, standing leisurely above the floating black clouds supported by bats.

Help!

My trypophobia is about to flare up.

There were more than she had seen the first time in the cave.

She still chose to go see the falcon, but suddenly realized that the bird looked a little familiar.

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.

I saw a strong interest flash in Chai Xiaomi's eyes.

Wu Li immediately called out, "Anan, come here!"

The falcon obediently circled and landed on his shoulder.

His eyes curved into a smile, and his eyebrows sparkled with a spirited gleam, making him look like a dashing young man. He asked the girl in his arms as if presenting a treasure, "Want to touch it?"

Chai Xiaomi loosened her grip on his collar, hesitating slightly, "Then..."

"Then you'd better hold me tight, you absolutely mustn't let me fall."

Actually, she didn't really want to touch him, because at that moment she just wanted to hold onto her lifeline tightly with both hands. But when she saw his expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she was momentarily dazed.

His youthful air was tinged with a naive and boastful pride, as if he were introducing his friend to her.

His handsome and captivating face loomed large before me, his starry eyes sparkling beneath his long lashes, and his smile genuine.

In an instant, the light was dazzling.

It was even more dazzling than the afterglow of the setting sun.

Wu Li thought this coward was really making a fuss. "I'm holding you right now, are you afraid I'll throw you off?"

It would have been better if they hadn't said that.

Upon hearing this, Chai Xiaomi's lingering worries were immediately confirmed. Coupled with his half-smiling expression, the more she looked at him, the more convinced she became that he was absolutely capable of doing it!

"Wu Li".

She suddenly called him by his full name.

He paused slightly, then lazily snorted, reluctantly responding to the full name: "Hmm?"

"If you scare me again, I'll—" Chai Xiaomi's eyes darted around, but her momentum inexplicably weakened.

It was awkward; she didn't seem to pose any threat to him at all.

Seeing her hesitate, he seemed to realize something, his expression darkening slightly, and he pressed, "What?"

At once......

Chai Xiaomi's expression froze for a moment.

Damn.

Embarrassing.

He was halfway through making his tough statement when he realized he had nothing left to say.

"Aren't you going to talk to me?"

Unexpectedly, Wu Li took over the conversation himself.

He scoffed, "Just like last time, you're deliberately pretending to be deaf and ignoring me, right? Just because I didn't apologize. All you did was accidentally catch a glimpse of two... cough..."

The boy paused, and his arrogant demeanor suddenly weakened.

His cheeks flushed slightly, and his gaze darted away awkwardly, turning into a soft cricket-like whisper: "You didn't really see anything. Don't you have any self-awareness that you have a lot of long hair? It's like a black veil covering your shoulders, completely obscuring your face. It would be a miracle if you could see anything. And yet you still insist on making me apologize."

"Women are such a hassle, always making a fuss over nothing."

Chai Xiaomi's face turned ashen; she felt like someone was dancing wildly in her sensitive area.

"You're the one who's causing trouble! You're the one causing trouble!"

"..." Wu Li was speechless, unable to refute. "Alright, alright! I promise I won't throw you down."

"If I let go, I'll be your dog for the rest of my life, doing whatever you want. Is that alright?" As he spoke, he tightened his grip on her waist.

There was barely any air between the two of them.

Chai Xiaomi blinked, her clear black and white eyes staring straight at him, trying to make sure she hadn't misheard a single word.

These words of assurance came from the mouth of this proud and arrogant young man.

It is more lethal than any poisonous oath.

To make him someone else's dog?

Unless he dies.

But he just can't die.

Therefore, this possibility will never hold true.

well.

Only then did Chai Xiaomi relax and release her grip on his clothes, turning to reach for the falcon perched on the boy's shoulder.

"Won't it peck people?"

That question was really unnecessary; she had already boldly stroked Anan's head repeatedly, like petting a cat.

Its feathers are glossy and soft to the touch, shimmering with a warm golden glow in the setting sun.

Chai Xiaomi is skilled at petting cats, and I never expected that she would use her skills on this big bird as well.

Her movements were practiced and gentle, and Anan was almost intoxicated by the strokes. His slightly open wings gradually folded, and he simply closed his pupils, placed his claws on the boy's shoulders, lowered his head a little closer, and raised his tail, as if in a posture of submission.

Wu Li glanced at Anan's worthless appearance and replied, "No, it only carries things."

Upon hearing this, Chai Xiaomi's gaze fell upon a string of purplish-red spherical fruits held between its pointed beaks. They looked strange, resembling pineapples but not quite.

"When I was little, Anan would often bring me wild fruits to eat," Wu Li said. "These are called black tiger fruits, and in the Miao ethnic group they are known as 'Bufuna,' which means beauty and longevity."

Hearing this, Anan tilted his head and gently rubbed the fruit against Chai Xiaomi's palm.

She understood and took the wild fruit. A pang of sadness welled up in her heart. It turned out that he often relied on such wild fruits to fill his stomach when he was a child, which is why he was malnourished and thin as a skeleton.

He's grown to be this tall, with broad shoulders and long legs; I don't know if it's good luck or strong genes.

The boy looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice laced with provocation: "It's very bitter. Dare to try some?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and took a big bite, almost breaking her teeth.

"You!" Before he could even utter the words he was about to say, she blurted out in a silly, unintentional way.

This fruit has many seeds and a large pit; how could anyone take such a big bite like her?

"You're so stupid, it's driving me crazy! Does it hurt?" Wu Li asked, frowning.

She covered one side of her jaw with her hand, her small face slightly distorted, her mouth drooping, and her lips trembling.

He was getting a little anxious: "Open your mouth and let me see."
