Chapter 2 Return to the Mountain Top Paradise
This shouldn't be the case, right? Mo Yier wasn't too sure either. Xiao Rong's grandfather was actually quite nice to her. But after all, he had a beastly nature and his temper was so violent. It wasn't impossible that he would eat someone. But she didn't want something like that to happen.
Alright, let's go. We need to hurry. Xiao Rong Qiu is unusually enthusiastic about returning to the mountaintop this time.
Good. Silmara agreed to come down. He also looked forward to the feeling of flying in the sky. He was different from ordinary people of his tribe. He yearned for freedom and didn't want to be bound. Soaring through the skies was what he desired. His thoughts were not dull or rigidly adhering to rules. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let his younger sister take the position of leader.
Little Fluff directly hugged Princess Mo Yu'er and flew up into the sky, her body maintaining its human form, only with a pair of enormous wings spread out. Cai Feng'er was forced to carry Si Mò on his back. This time it was an order from Mo Yu'er and Little Fluff. He feared being stripped of his peacock feathers, so he reluctantly took off.
Because Cai Feng'er's speed is much slower than Xiao Rong Qiu, they are not in a hurry on their way back this time. Mo Yi'er lets Xiao Rong Qiu slow down its speed. Even so, it still leaves Cai Feng'er far behind. Fortunately, Cai Feng'er knows the way, and Mo Yi'er is not worried that she and Si Mie La will get lost.
Si Meng La rode on Cai Feng for the first time, extremely excited. He sat upright on Cai Feng's back, watching as it slowly rose into the air, and he felt himself getting farther and farther away from the ground. This feeling was really great. Even though he envied Xiao Rong Qiu's speed, he was still very satisfied with being able to ride on Cai Feng and soar through the skies. If not for Mo Yi Er, he would never have had this opportunity. Everything felt so unreal. If this were a dream, then he didn't want to wake up for his entire life.
The scenery in the air and on the ground are vastly different. Standing at different heights, the problems one thinks about are also different. Therefore, this journey is also a very important turning point in Mo Yu'er's life, making him her most trusted assistant afterwards, helping her achieve her goals.
They walked and stopped, taking twice as long as last time, before they finally flew to the mountaintop paradise. This mountain top with no roads, accessible only by flight, once again broadened Sila's horizons. Outside it was still a vast expanse of clear water, but on the mountaintop it was already lush and green. Trees stood tall, flowers bloomed profusely, and colorful fruits hung from the branches. Moreover, it was warm here, like early summer, not yet scorching hot.
"Good heavens! It's really beautiful. I never thought there was such a place in this world."
The praise of Sima made Xiaorong feel even more proud. This is where he was born and grew up, his hometown. It's okay, it's just a bit more beautiful than where you live.
Heh...... Mo Yier looked at the two men in front of her, somewhat amused.
Roar~ Xiao Rongqiu blinked at Mo Yier, then let out a loud roar towards the distance. It was the Golden Lion's roar. Everyone around him could feel a slight vibration. His roar was absolutely not something that ordinary wild beasts from the foot of the mountain could compare to.
The little fur ball's lion-like roar was telling Grandpa that he had returned. Before long, the old man ran out of the forest, with a panting and puffing Fen following behind him. She was wearing beautiful animal skin, her whole body plumper than before, her face rosy and red, looking like she had been doing well here.
Grandpa, Mo Yuer rushed up and greeted him warmly.
Oh, you're back to visit old me again! The old man is very happy and can't hide his joy.
Yes, grandpa. We've come to see you. I miss you so much. Mo Yi'er gave the old man a tight hug to express her feelings. This made Little Fluff somewhat unhappy. It's clear that the other party is her own grandfather, so she didn't show it.
Stinky little boy, come here and let Grandpa hug you. The old man saw through the little furball's thoughts and hurriedly invited him to come over for a hug too.
"Hmph. I don't want to. Xiao Rongqiu bluntly refused without giving any face."
"Hmph, you little brat. The old man scolded with his mouth, but didn't get angry. His gaze turned to Silmara behind the small ball of fluff. How did you bring another stranger here? Who is this?"
Grandpa, it's a long story. Anyway, this is my good friend who came with us to see you. Mo Yier turned her head and gave Si Meng a wink.
Grandfather, hello. My name is Silmara. I'm a good friend of Mo Yu'er's. Silmara understands Mo Yu'er very well. Although he's quite arrogant, he was once trained as the successor to the leader, so interacting with people isn't a problem for him at all.
Oh, a good man. Didn't expect it. The old man actually gave Si Mu La a very high evaluation.
Xī mò lā...... Chú fēn sì shì yǒu xiē hài pà. Tā qiè qiè de zhàn zài yuǎn chù. Bù gǎn zài kào jìn le.
Translation:
Cindy... seemed to be a little scared. She stood timidly in the distance, not daring to come closer again.
Chu Fen, it seems you're doing well here. I hope you'll continue to live happily like this. Si Mu La knows that Chu Fen is afraid of him. Chu Fen found out about his and Si Te La's secret. Almost got killed by them. Meeting again, fear is also normal.
Yes, I will. Thank you, Sumala. Chufen understood that Sumala meant to let her live. Suddenly became excited.
Oh, so you all know each other.
Yes, Silmara is the brother of our tribe's leader... Ah, it still feels awkward to say that. How could a woman be the leader? And the original leader was actually treated as a woman by everyone. She just can't understand it.
Oh, okay. Don't just stand there. Yufen and I found a new resting place in the woods. It's pretty good.
Really? Hurry up and take us to see. Mo Yier is very interested in every inch of this place, because it's likely that we'll discover something magical.
Let's go. A few people chatted and laughed as they headed towards their new resting place.
The new resting place is not far away, it's at the edge of the forest, close to the lake shore. On a roughly 200-square-meter clearing, there are two sheds made of leaves. The construction method is similar to that of the Haimu tribe's leaf shed, but much coarser than theirs. Fortunately, there is no strong sea breeze here, otherwise it would definitely be blown down.
"This is great!" Mo Yuer praised, walking in front of Ye Peng's house to admire it.
It was Yu Fen who said it's cold at night, best to have a place to block the wind and rain. The old man said, originally Yu Fen wanted to find a cave, but the old man didn't like living in caves, felt stifled. In the end, they set up two sheds here.
It seems you two get along pretty well. Mo Yi'er smiled at Yu Fen. This woman, who had always been hostile towards her, wasn't so bad after all. Humans easily lose their rationality due to love and jealousy, like Yu Fen, Yao Nü, and others. But the most important thing is not doing wrong things. Some actions can be made up for afterwards. Others will cause irreparable harm to others forever.
