Yang Yunhai’s heart warmed, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.
The bird flew back to its nest once again. The Black Bird shook its feathers, now staring at Yang Yunhai without any disdain or contempt.
Gu Lingling, who stood in front of Yang Yunhai wielding a stick to protect him, was blatantly ignored by the red fruit.
Two people—no, one person and a Black Bird—exchanged electrifying glances.
Yang Yunhai still couldn’t move, but he knew a tremendous change was happening within his body, although it was gradually calming down.
As he looked at the Black Bird, he realized that its gaze seemed somewhat ingratiating.
Yang Yunhai chuckled inwardly. If the little girl who had been protecting him with all her might found out, she’d probably be hopping mad.
"Hey, you stinky bird, what exactly are you trying to do?" Gu Lingling couldn’t help but shout at the Black Bird, "Don’t think we fear you just because you’re fast."
The Black Bird looked down on Gu Lingling, then suddenly flew up into the sky.
Gu Lingling sat down on the ground.
She was actually afraid of such an ugly bird; it was really funny. However, earlier she was genuinely scared, worried that the bird would harm Yang Yunhai.
"Did we eat its fruit?" Gu Lingling took a moment on the ground, dusted herself off, and tried to stand up.
Then a large hand helped her up, "Thank you."
After she said that, Gu Lingling turned her head in astonishment and saw a hand she was all too familiar with, "Brother Yang, you... you can move?"
Not only could he move, but he was also smiling at her.
Does that mean he’s okay?
Ecstatic, Gu Lingling shook Yang Yunhai’s arm, "Are you okay? You can move?"
"I’m fine, don’t worry." Yang Yunhai reached out his other hand to ruffle her hair, "Brother Yang will protect you."
Growing up, this was the first time someone stood in front of him without hesitation to protect him when danger arose.
The feeling of being protected was really nice. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
"It’s good that you’re okay." Gu Lingling wiped her tears and smiled at Yang Yunhai, "By the way, Brother Yang, did you feel anything after eating that stuff? I think we should quickly find a way to see if we can leave this place."
She felt that the ugly bird was no good and worried that if it came back, they wouldn’t be able to leave.
The bird arrogantly looked at the person, "Foolish human, hmph... without my lordship, you certainly wouldn’t be able to leave."
As soon as Gu Lingling finished speaking, she saw the bird had somehow flown back, still looking at her with disdain.
For a moment, she really didn’t know what to say.
Could this bird read minds?
Gu Lingling tugged at Yang Yunhai’s sleeve, wondering when the bird came back without her noticing.
The bird: "Foolish human, even dares to act coy!"
Yang Yunhai chuckled at the bird, and then the bird suddenly flapped its wings and flew over to him, landing on his shoulder.
If Yang Yunhai wasn’t seeing things, the bird was fighting for attention with Gu Lingling, looking at her provocatively.
Yang Yunhai felt utterly amused.
The events of the day left him in disbelief.
First, he and Gu Lingling fell into this place; then they discovered effective hemostatic herbs and ginseng, followed by an unknown red fruit that left him feeling incredibly refreshed.
And then, came this sentient bird.
