Chapter 163 A Strange Encounter with Stars (2) - The Wounded Little Swan
“You’re here, aren’t you? You’ll protect me, right?” Ouyang Luoxue said.
Qian Yuhan looked at Ouyang Luoxue, seemingly lost in thought, before nodding earnestly, "Mm!"
After a day of travel, the two finally arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest at night.
"Let's go, let's not go too late tonight," Qian Yuhan said.
“Hmm…” Ouyang Luoxue followed behind Qian Yuhan, then, as if remembering something, she said, “This… is where we first met, right?”
“Of course,” Qian Yuhan said with a smile, “You were being chased by the Thousand-Pound Ants back then…”
Before Qian Yuhan could finish speaking, Ouyang Luoxue slapped him on the head.
"You're really something! So stubborn!!"
He then abandoned Qian Yuhan and ran forward.
"Hey! Slow down!!" Qian Yuhan could only chase after him.
She ran, he chased, but she couldn't escape!
"Hehe, I caught you." Qian Yuhan caught up with Ouyang Luoxue and said with a grin.
"I really don't know what you ate to grow up like this, you can run so fast..." Ouyang Luoxue complained breathlessly.
Qian Yuhan, however, seemed not to be tired at all, and smiled slightly to the side.
“I didn’t run away,” Qian Yuhan said at this moment.
Ouyang Luoxue: ? ?
As Qian Yuhan unfurled her wings of light, everything became clear...
"You—" Ouyang Luoxue was momentarily speechless, "Then just now when I turned around I saw—"
“That’s my clone, hahaha…” Qian Yuhan scratched his head and laughed.
"That's too much! I'm ignoring you!!" Ouyang Luoxue turned her head away, not wanting to talk to Qian Yuhan.
"Alright, alright, I was wrong! Let's not go any further. We're already at the edge of the core area. Let's rest here for the night." Qian Yuhan stopped teasing Luo Xue and said seriously.
"Ok!"
The Starry Sky Forest at night is immersed in tranquility, like a beautiful sleeping maiden.
Moonlight filters through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows that seem to drape the earth in a silver veil.
All around was quiet except for the rustling sound of a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves, which was clearly the subtle sound of small, delicate insects and spirit beasts moving among the bushes.
In the midst of this tranquil atmosphere, a sudden commotion broke the peace.
It turned out that the two little ones were arguing incessantly next to a big tree.
"Oh dear, you didn't nail that nail in properly at all!!" one of the little ones shouted, looking annoyed.
The other little one retorted, unconvinced:
"I clearly already got it all set up. Look for yourself, it's all inserted..."
"You call this done? That nail isn't even five centimeters in! How could it possibly hold with that little depth! Don't be ridiculous, Luo Xue..." Qian Yuhan said, reaching out to inspect the nail, his face clearly showing displeasure.
"What's wrong? This is my first time doing this, why are you yelling at me?"
"I didn't yell at you, I'm just anxious! We've been working on this for half an hour, and we still haven't set up a single tent!"
"I was just trying to help you out."
"Yes, I asked you to hold up the pole supporting the tent roof, and you ended up collapsing the whole frame that had just been set up; I asked you to hammer in a nail, and you only hammered it in five centimeters, leaving most of the nail sticking out. I'm really exhausted!"
"I……"
Before Ouyang Luoxue could say anything more, Qian Yuhan stepped forward, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile:
"Luo Xue, you should rest first. I know you want to help, but let the boys do the heavy lifting. If you keep helping like this, neither of us will be able to sleep until tomorrow morning."
Qian Yuhan wiped the sweat from his hands, pulled Ouyang Luoxue to the big tree, cleared away the weeds, and had her sit down to wait. He then turned around and went to set up the two tents that hadn't been set up yet...
Ouyang Luoxue sat on the ground, resting her chin on her hands, doing nothing.
"You jerk, you just think I'm stupid, humph!" he muttered.
Who says a cool and aloof goddess doesn't have her little emotions? She just doesn't show them in front of you...
I sat there for half an hour.
"Splash... splash..."
Ouyang Luoxue looked at the strange noise coming from the bushes nearby with a puzzled expression, got up curiously and walked over, and lifted the bushes to take a look.
Pushing aside the bushes, moonlight shone on the ground, and Ouyang Luoxue was surprised to find a white and green swan.
The swan lay trembling on the ground, not daring to look at Ouyang Luoxue, this stranger. Ouyang Luoxue clearly saw blood flowing from the body beneath the swan, and the blood was green!
"Little one, you're injured!" Ouyang Luoxue felt a pang of pity upon seeing the pitiful swan. She slowly approached, intending to pick it up.
As the swan saw Ouyang Luoxue approaching, it began to tremble even more violently.
"Yu Han! Yu Han! Come here for a moment..." Ouyang Luoxue called out to Qian Yu Han, who was setting up a tent on the side.
"what happened?"
Qian Yuhan dusted the dirt off his hands and walked towards Ouyang Luoxue.
"I just found an injured little guy, and it seems very afraid of me. Look—"
Ouyang Luoxue pointed to the trembling white-green swan in the bushes.
“This is…” Qian Yuhan squinted as she examined the swan.
"This can't be... an emerald swan, can it?" Qian Yuhan murmured.
“The Emerald Swan?! You mean the Emerald Swan that ranks fourth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts?” Ouyang Luoxue said.
"No, this swan should be of the same species as that one... but this injury..."
As Qian Yuhan spoke, she took out a bottle of pills from the Cold Heart Dragon God Golden Bracelet, opened the stopper, and a rich fragrance of pills surrounded her.
Qian Yuhan took out a pill and placed it next to the swan without saying a word.
“At this point, the best way to eliminate its fear is for it to do it itself.” Qian Yuhan pulled Ouyang Luoxue away from the place.
The jade swan reached out its neck and hesitated for a moment before swallowing the pill left behind by Qian Yuhan.
Then he discovered that all the wounds on his body were slowly healing.
"Will that guy eat it?" Ouyang Luoxue looked at the bushes with concern.
Qian Yuhan smiled. "This jade swan is still too young, and its self-healing ability isn't as strong as legend says. It certainly can't heal itself after suffering such severe injuries, but the pill I left for it should be enough..."
As the two were talking, the swan stumbled out of the bushes and slowly stood up.
When the jade swan stood up, it was about the same length as the two of them, about 1.5 to 1.6 meters.
"Your injury is healed?" Qian Yuhan asked with a smile.
The little swan nodded.
"He can actually understand it?!" Ouyang Luoxue exclaimed in amazement.
"The Emerald Swan Clan is, after all, an upper-class race in the Star Dou Great Forest, with noble bloodlines. They should have no problem understanding human speech."
"As for jade swans, I've read in a book that you can distinguish strength by the color of their bodies; the higher the cultivation level, the greener their bodies..."
"This one is probably around 10,000 years old. Considering the longevity of the Emerald Swan clan, it can be considered a young beast."
Emerald swans are like healers in the entire Star Dou Great Forest; with their kind around, the probability of soul beasts dying is naturally greatly reduced.
Doctors are respected figures everywhere...
"Little guy, do you know where you live?" Qian Yuhan asked.
