105 What saddens him (1/2)

Hu Zi saw that jolt. His reaction obviously showed that he was worried about what will happen tomorrow. ”Don't worry, I am a wind master already, the wind is friendly to me.”

Jin Lan was still worried. His face went darker and darker.

He seemed to carefully watch his steps too, making her wonder if he worried that he would step on something. Hu Zi tried to convince him. ”If you are worried that we will meet a dangerous animal on our way, worry not. My wind radar could cover a wide range, I will know right away if there was danger ahead.”

”But you slept like a log even when I sank my teeth on your neck.” He rolled his eyes, he really wanted to say it out loud. ”I don't think I can sleep tonight.”

She said that she was powerful enough, but there must be a reason why she didn't use her wind to glide through this forest. She did tell him that making the wind move was harder than using radar for her. So maybe she was saving her energy so she could fly, later on, he thought.

Jin Lan sighed once again, feeling helpless of their situation. Really, he just wanted to make her happy, but to think this was what it takes to make her smile. He then looked up to the highest cliff on this Bamboo Fortress.

That cliff was their final destination.

This place had many ups and downs, steep cliffs and hilled valleys were everywhere. Even now, they are about to walk on a very narrow road beside the cliff. Hanging on the rock so he could steady himself, he looked at the end of the cliff that was far below and gulped.

”We will arrive at that cliff in the evening.” Hu Zi was walking in front of him, leading as he sensed her ways with the radar. ”Then, we will fly in the morning.”

After the cliff, they finally arrived at a normal terrain where the ground was more or less flat and easy to walk through. But suddenly...

”Lan look!” Hu Zi pointed at a direction on their right. ”It's a tiger.”

His eyes widened as he looked at the direction Hu Zi pointed in, it was indeed a tiger, a really big one.

Lan might need to consider being afraid of the girl, who could point something like that out with a smile, beside him before running away from that tiger that slowly closed the distance between. ”Let's run.” He grabbed Hu Zi's wrist, but she did not move a slightest.

”That tiger is beautiful.”

”Yeah, but it is coming at us.”

”Yeah, but I am not afraid of something smaller than that brown bear.”

Hu Zi released her wind, the trees started to fell because of her. The tiger seemed to know who was stronger and immediately run away. ”See...” Hu Zi stuck out her tongue.
