'Just let me eat it, Miss,' the hum of Hao's voice echoed in her head, and at that moment the creature was rewarded with a glare from Fu Xie Lan.

Immediately Hao turned his face the other way, avoiding his Miss's disapproving gaze. It seemed he had made a bit of a mistake.

Said something he shouldn't have said, and made his Miss squint in disapproval.

Seeing that the bird did not stop its action, Fu Xie Lan let out a tired sigh.

If only she could talk to the bird, it might be easier for her.

But, WAIT!

Hadn't in Elder Chen's residence she heard the sounds of various kinds of animals without realizing it?

For a while at that time, Fu Xie Lan had tried several times to communicate with various types of animals that she encountered. However, all her efforts were fruitless.

This time, why didn't she try again? Fu Xie Lan then used the mana she had on her body and tried to focus it on her sense of hearing, just like when she wanted to activate the power of invisibility of her eyes.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Nothing happens. However, Fu Xie Lan did not stop her efforts.

The girl tried it one more time, over and over again ignoring the tug of the bird's claws on the fabric of her clothes just above her shoulders.

And on the last try that she decided to do, her ears just buzzed, didn't hear anything, even the rustling of leaves that had been heard since earlier had also disappeared.

Fu Xie Lan tried to make a sound, and what happened next made her entire body stiffen.

How could she not hear her voice? Did she suddenly go deaf?

But when the girl was about to speak again for the second time, a faint sound of the commotion was heard, from small to loud the sound grew, and if left for a few more minutes it might burst her eardrums.

Fu Xie Lan reflexively raised both hands and covered each of her ears. Somehow, various voices could be heard from all around, echoed, so loud it even made her head hurt.

All the voices were mixed into one so that Fu Xie Lan couldn't even be too clear about it. Just sound overlapping each other.

Hao who saw Fu Xie Lan as if she was in pain, immediately approached her.

However, the little creature had not taken two steps and the bird on Fu Xie Lan's shoulder immediately jumped onto the girl's head. And seconds later, green mana instantly burst out to fill the girl's body.

It happened a few minutes, then Fu Xie Lan fell sitting back on the swing, unconscious.

And when Hao resumed his stride, his Miss slowly opened her eyelids and woke up.

Fu Xie Lan's hands to have moved away from her sense of hearing. Not only that, but the expression of pain was also nowhere to be found on her face.

In front of Hao, everything happened so fast, he couldn't even comprehend what had happened to the girl, and Fu Xie Lan seemed to be fine again.

While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan who was no longer in pain slowly took a deep breath. The noise she had heard earlier was gone.

She doesn't know, what happened to her, maybe she hasn't adjusted to the power of her hearing? Or is it the result of forcing herself? She didn't know, maybe both.

Feeling a tug on the clothes she was wearing, Fu Xie Lan turned to the side and saw the bird again flapping its wings on her shoulders as it tugged at her clothes, keep doing the same thing as before.

Seeing the winged creature's strange movements, Fu Xie Lan slowly rose from her position, and at the same time, the bird on her shoulder stopped its action then immediately flew a few meters forward and then stopped and turned to the direction the girl was.

Of course, Fu Xie Lan was confused again, trying to step on a sturdy branch towards where the winged creature was, but the girl had not yet reached the bird's position and had already flown again a few more meters forward, further than before, then turned its body to the direction of the girl, at a glance as if waiting for her.

"You want me to follow you?" asked Fu Xie Lan, she didn't know, her instincts seemed to tell her that she should follow the bird.

'Miss, don't go anywhere, you have promised Master Liu,' Hao's voice hummed. The fluffy little creature immediately jumped towards Fu Xie Lan.

"It seems that the bird wants me to follow it, Hao," replied Fu Xie Lan, continuing her steps, jumping between the trees and stoping on a branch that she thought was safe.

'But, Miss...'

"If you don't want to go with me, you can stay here, guard," said Fu Xie Lan.

Hearing that, Hao didn't respond. He was a magic beast spirite who had made a contract with the girl.

Of course, Hao would follow where his Miss went.

The little furry creature immediately jumped onto Fu Xie Lan's shoulders and returned to its usual position.

'All right, Miss. I will always be with you.'

'But Miss must be careful. This is Fairy's territory, although the place looks very beautiful, we don't know what kind of danger lies in this area. Especially when it's late at night," Hao warned Fu Xie Lan.

Hearing Hao's chatter in her head, the girl only smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, don't worry. At night, all fairies sleep," said Fu Xie Lan.

'I don't mean fairies, Miss. But, other creatures that inhabit this region, we don't know, what inhabits this area,' replied Hao.

"Aren't you here to take care of me?" said Fu Xie Lan lightly.

'Hmm, alright Miss. It's up to you,' Hao said.

"It has to be like that, but thanks for reminding me to always be vigilant," replied Fu Xie Lan, and after that, there was no more response from the little fluffy creature snuggled upon her shoulder.

Fu Xie Lan then jumped down onto the ground. Scanning the surroundings with her violet eyes, when no creature entered her field of vision, she slowly moved away, starting to take steps following where the bird would take her.

At the same time, the fireflies that filled the treetop where Fu Xie Lan was previously also flown above her, following where the girl went, seeming to give her some light.

For a moment the girl frowned at seeing a swarm of fireflies flying above her, but Fu Xie Lan chose to ignore it and continued on her way.

Exiting the fairy village where Master Liu's residence was located, Fu Xie Lan combed the flower fields, she didn't know where her feet would go. Just following the bird who didn't know what it wants to show her.

The bird's movements were not like normal birds, and that was what made Fu Xie Lan sure that the winged creature had something for her.
