The golden eagle, upon seeing Fang Yuxin reaching out her hand, raised its head warily, fluttered its wings, and struggled to fly away. But when it heard Fang Yuxin’s words, it stopped its struggle, remained motionless on the roof of the car, and stared intently at Fang Yuxin with an unblinking gaze, still with a hint of caution in its eyes.
Fang Yuxin extended both of her hands toward it, one wrapped in green Spiritual Energy, while the other concealed a ball of spiritual spring water with purification capabilities. As her hands drew closer, the ball of spiritual spring water in her palm gradually turned into mist, mingling with the green Spiritual Energy, and under the cover of Spiritual Energy, encased the golden eagle. It then proceeded to meticulously clean the wounds and filth off the eagle’s body.
Because of the Spiritual Energy’s cover, the others could only see the golden eagle enveloped in a layer of green energy; the watering mist was completely invisible to them. The green Spiritual Energy appeared like a giant green cocoon, which gradually began to shrink, as if being absorbed into the golden eagle’s body, until it completely vanished at last.
By this time, the originally disheveled and wretched golden eagle had undergone a complete transformation. Nourished by the Spiritual Energy, its feathers renewed, the black hue was deeper, and the golden glimmer was even more dazzling. The sharp and massive beak and claws seemed to be enveloped in a lethal black sheen.
Following that, it suddenly stood up, its vast wings unfolding in an instant. With a light flap, it rose into the air! Unconsciously, everyone looked up, only to see that the wings, once outspread, were at least six meters long. Being so close, their massive span almost gave the impression of blotted out the sun!
As it soared higher, its massive body turned into a tiny black dot in the sky. Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Fang Yuyang, saying with a tinge of regret, "Brother, it flew away. Such a pity. Had I known, I would have let you form a contract with it first."
Fang Yuyang had been staring at the golden eagle, now just a distant speck. Hearing Fang Yuxin’s words, he shook his head and sighed with disappointment, "Never mind, that would have been too unfair to it."
Fang Yuxin frowned, thinking to herself that if the golden eagle could recognize her brother as its master, it would have been the one to strike it lucky! But she said nothing, simply shook her head, and was about to return to the car. At that moment, however, a long, powerful call came from the sky, sounding both resonant and subtly joyous.
This voice was very familiar, clearly that of the golden eagle. Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but look up once more, and to her surprise, she discovered that after its call, the golden eagle had plunged down swiftly, circling to a stop about five or six meters above the car roof. It then gracefully landed on the car roof, affectionately nuzzling Fang Yuyang’s forehead with its head in a very endearing gesture.
Fang Yuxin’s eyes widened in astonishment, and she saw that Fang Yuyang also looked somewhat dazed, apparently not expecting this turn of events. She quickly urged in a low voice, "Brother, it came back for you. Take the opportunity to establish a contract with it. Don’t let down its affection for you!"
Fang Yuyang gave her a somewhat speechless glance—what nonsense are you talking about? Girls shouldn’t spout nonsense!
However, he didn’t refuse to bond with the golden eagle. He had liked the golden eagle from the beginning, and he could tell that the golden eagle seemed to like him too, willing to acknowledge him as its master. Indeed, when Fang Yuyang went to bond with it, it showed no hesitation and agreed right away.
Fang Yuxin watched the successful acknowledgment, and a radiant smile spread across her face. She urged Fang Yuyang, "Brother, quickly give it a name. What do you think is a good name?"
Fang Yuyang ran his hand over the golden eagle’s head without even thinking and said, "Let’s call it Wujin then."
"Uh," Fang Yuxin was stunned for a moment, and her gaze reflexively turned to the golden eagle. Seeing it had no reaction, she couldn’t help but say, "How about we choose another one?"
Fang Yuyang wasn’t particular about names; he had specifically asked the golden eagle, which seemed to not mind, so he gestured to Fang Yuxin, "No need, it likes this one. Let’s go with that."
Fang Yuxin, hearing his response, couldn’t help but look at the golden eagle with sympathy, thinking to herself—how gorgeous, resplendent, and majestic a golden eagle it was, and yet it ended up with such a tacky name as Wujin!
However, thinking of Bai Ye’s pet named Bai Er, Fang Yuxin suddenly felt that the name "Wujin" wasn’t so difficult to accept after all.
